Nuveen Investments to be acquired by TIAA-CREF
On April 14, 2014, TIAA-CREF announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Nuveen Investments, the parent company of your fund’s investment adviser, Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (“NFAL”) and the Nuveen affiliates that act as sub-advisers to the majority of the Nuveen Funds. TIAA-CREF is a national financial services organization with approximately $569 billion in assets under management (as of March 31, 2014) and is a leading provider of retirement services in the academic, research, medical and cultural fields. Nuveen anticipates that it will operate as a separate subsidiary within TIAA-CREF’s asset management business, and that its current leadership and key investment teams will stay in place.
Your Fund investment will not change as a result of Nuveen’s change of ownership. You will still own the same Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares will not change as a result of the transaction. NFAL and your Fund’s sub-adviser(s) will continue to manage your Fund according to the same objectives and policies as before, and we do not anticipate any significant changes to your Fund’s operations. Under the securities laws, the consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the investment management agreements between the Funds and NFAL and the investment sub-advisory agreements between NFAL and each Fund’s sub-adviser(s). New agreements will be presented to the Funds’ shareholders for approval, and, if approved, will take effect upon consummation of the transaction or such later time as shareholder approval is obtained.
The transaction, expected to be completed by year end, is subject to customary closing conditions.

Chairman’s Letter
to Shareholders
to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Despite headwinds from slow growth, fiscal and political uncertainty in many countries and some fragile economies around the world, domestic and international equity markets increased significantly in 2013. The emerging markets equity sector was an exception. Other sectors, such as real estate, were flat to down a bit and commodities were notably negative in total return performance. The fixed income market also experienced losses in many sectors.
U.S. equities in particular hit numerous all-time highs during the past year, exceeding prior rising market trends. Europe and Asia struggled with political and financial stresses but Europe’s improving GDP in the second half provided hope that the region can exit recession. In Japan, the economic policies advocated by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe became a positive influence on the economy as deflationary pressures declined, while the economy in China started to stabilize due to monetary easing and supply side reforms. On the domestic front, the Federal Reserve stimulus continued throughout the year but discussion of reductions in the stimulus program caused historically low rates to rise and added to concern that interest rates could rise quickly in the near future. This provided challenges for fixed income investors.
The Federal Reserve’s decision to slow down its bond buying program beginning in December 2013, and the federal budget compromise over government spending into early 2015 were positive signs that the domestic economy is moving forward. We are beginning to experience an economy that can provide encouraging conditions for GDP growth, job growth and low inflation. Additionally, downward trending unemployment and a continuing rebound in the housing market adds to a positive economic scenario going forward.
However, the current year has experienced a tumultuous start. It is in these particularly volatile markets that professional investment management is most important. Investment teams who have experienced challenging markets in the past understand how their asset class can behave in rapidly changing times. Remaining committed to their investment disciplines during these times is a critical component to achieving long-term success. In fact, many strong investment track records are established during challenging periods because experienced investment teams understand that volatile markets place a premium on companies and investment ideas that can weather the short-term volatility. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.
As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Portfolio managers Michael S. Hamilton and Daniel J. Close, CFA, review U.S. economic and municipal market conditions at the national and state levels, key investment strategies and the twelve-month performance of these four Nuveen Funds. Michael assumed portfolio management responsibility for NAZ in 2011, while Dan has managed NUM, NUO and NTX since 2007.
What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal market during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014?
During this reporting period, the U.S. economy’s progress toward recovery from recession continued, although the economy remained below peak levels. The Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its efforts to bolster growth and promote progress toward its mandates of maximum employment and price stability by holding the benchmark fed funds rate at the record low level of zero to 0.25% that it established in December 2008. Based on its view that the underlying strength in the broader economy was enough to support ongoing improvement in the labor market, the Fed began to reduce, or taper, its monthly asset purchases in $10 billion increments over the course of three consecutive meetings (December 2013, January 2014 and following the end of this reporting period, March 2014). As of April 2014, the Fed’s monthly purchases will comprise $25 billion in mortgage-backed securities (versus the original $40 billion per month) and $30 billion in longer-term Treasury securities (versus $45 billion). Following the March 2014 meeting, the Fed also stated that it would now look at a wide range of factors, including inflation levels and job creation, in determining future actions and that it would likely maintain the current target range for the fed funds rate for a considerable time after the asset purchase program ends, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the Fed’s 2% longer run goal.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the U.S. economy, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), grew at an annualized rate of 2.6%, bringing the annual GDP for 2013 to 1.9% and continuing the pattern of positive economic growth for the eleventh consecutive quarter. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.1% year-over-year as of February 2014, while the core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.6% during the same period, staying within the Fed’s unofficial objective of 2.0% or lower for this inflation measure. As of February 2014, the national unemployment rate was 6.7%, down from the 7.7% reported in February 2013. The housing market continued to post gains, as the average home price in the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas rose 13.2% for the twelve months ended January 2014 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). This brought the average U.S. home price back to mid-2004 levels, although prices continued to be down approximately 20% from their mid-2006 peak.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
As this reporting period began, continued political debate over federal spending clouded the outlook for the U.S. economy, as lawmakers failed to reach a resolution on spending cuts intended to address the federal budget deficit. This triggered a program of automatic spending cuts (or sequestration) that impacted federal programs beginning March 1, 2013. Although Congress later passed legislation that established federal funding levels for the remainder of Fiscal 2013, the federal budget for Fiscal 2014 remained under debate well into the new fiscal year. On October 1, 2013, the start date for Fiscal 2014, the federal government shut down for 16 days until an interim appropriations bill was signed into law, funding the government at sequestration levels through January 15, 2014, and suspending the debt limit until February 2014. Consensus on a $1.1 trillion federal spending bill was finally reached in January 2014, and in February 2014, members of Congress agreed to suspend the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling until March 2015.
In June 2013, then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s remarks about potentially tapering the Fed’s asset purchase program touched off widespread uncertainty about the next step for the Fed’s quantitative easing program and its impact on the economy and financial markets. This led to increased market volatility, which was compounded by headline credit stories involving Detroit’s bankruptcy filing in July 2013, the largest municipal bankruptcy in history and the disappointing news that continued to come out of Puerto Rico, where a struggling economy and years of deficit spending and borrowing resulted in multiple downgrades on the commonwealth’s bonds. In this unsettled environment, the Treasury market traded off, the municipal market followed suit and spreads widened as investor concern grew, prompting increased selling by bondholders across the fixed income markets. During the second half of this reporting period, municipal bonds generally rallied, as higher yields and the prospect of higher taxes sparked increased demand and improved flows into municipal bond funds, while supply continued to drop. However, for the reporting period as a whole, municipal bond prices generally declined, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum. At the same time, fundamentals on municipal bonds remained strong, as state governments made good progress in dealing with budget issues. Due to strong growth in personal tax collections, year-over-year totals for state tax revenues have increased for 15 consecutive quarters, while on the expense side, the states made headway in cutting and controlling costs, with more than 40 states implementing some type of pension reform. The current level of municipal issuance reflects the more conservative approach to state budgeting as well as a decrease in refunding activity as municipal market yields rose. Over the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $315.9 billion, a decrease of 17% from the issuance for the twelve-month period ended February 28, 2013.
How were the economic and market environments in Arizona, Michigan, Ohio and Texas during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014?
Arizona’s economy continued its recovery from the far-reaching effects of the recession, especially in the state’s hard-hit housing market. Gains in Arizona housing prices have been driven primarily by the Phoenix market, with the state’s smaller metropolitan areas also showing progress. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index, housing prices in Phoenix rose 13.8% over the twelve months ended January 2014 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with the average increase of 13.2% nationally. In the job market, the Arizona unemployment rate dropped to 7.3% as of February 2014, the lowest level since October 2008, down from 8.0% in February 2013. Growth in professional services, tourism, retail and financial services led recent improvements in the state’s employment picture. For Fiscal 2014, Arizona enacted an $8.8 billion general fund budget, up 3.4% over Fiscal 2013, which restored prior Medicaid cuts, expanded Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act and focused on reforming education and protecting children. The 2014 budget also kept intact the state’s $450 million rainy day fund. At the end of Fiscal 2013 in June 2013, the state’s temporary one-cent sales tax, enacted in 2011, expired, resulting in a projected $303.5 million budget gap for Fiscal 2014. Arizona planned to use the financial cushion generated by the sales taxes to offset the shortfall. The state’s proposed general fund budget for Fiscal 2015 totals $9.3 billion, including increased spending for child safety and education and a $50 million deposit to the rainy day fund. This proposed budget estimates that Arizona will return to structural balance by Fiscal 2016. In November 2013, Moody’s affirmed Arizona’s issuer rating at Aa3 and changed its outlook for the state to positive from stable. As of February 2014, S&P rated Arizona’s issuer credit at AA with a stable outlook. For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, municipal issuance in Arizona totaled $3.75 billion, down 39% from the previous twelve months.
Michigan’s economic recovery has mirrored national progress. The state economy continued to slowly improve, driven in part by the recovering auto industry. Strong domestic auto sales have incrementally bolstered growth over the past five years, though growth in 2013 was more modest than that of 2012. To a large extent, the Michigan economy remained tied to events in the auto industry, as

the “Big Three” (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) continued to rank among the state’s five largest employers. Overall, Michigan remained heavily reliant on manufacturing, which represented 13% of employment in the state, compared with 9% nationally. As of February 2014, Michigan’s unemployment rate was 7.7%, down from 8.8% in February 2013, the lowest level since May 2008. Following the peak in housing prices in mid-2006, home prices in Michigan declined dramatically and the inventory of foreclosed homes remained elevated in many of the state’s hardest-hit metropolitan areas, including Detroit, Warren and Flint. Improvement in the state economy has brought some recuperation in the housing market. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Detroit rose 15.6% over the twelve months ended January 2014 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), compared with the national average increase of 13.2%. On the fiscal front, Michigan’s budgetary performance over the last two years has been impressive. As revenues improved, the state demonstrated a commitment to rebuild reserves. For Fiscal 2013, Michigan’s $48.2 billion budget was structurally balanced and did not require major expenditure cuts or borrowing, and the state estimates that the year ended with a $429 million surplus. In 2013, a $140 million deposit brought Michigan’s reserve fund balance to $505 million, representing the largest reserve fund balance in more than a decade, and the Fiscal 2014 budget appropriated another $75 million to the rainy day fund. In other positive news, the state’s improved financial and cash position has eliminated the need for cash flow borrowing. Michigan’s $49 billion budget for Fiscal 2014 provides revenue sharing for local governments, increased funding for K-12 education and additional transportation funding, which is expected to benefit construction spending and payroll growth. As of February 2014, Moody’s and S&P rated Michigan general obligation (GO) debt at Aa2 and AA-, respectively. Both agencies revised their outlook for the state to positive in 2013. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, municipal issuance in Michigan totaled $5.7 billion, a decrease of almost 44% from the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.
Ohio’s economy continued to expand modestly, but at a slower pace than immediately following the recession. As of February 2014, the state’s unemployment rate was 6.5%, its lowest level since June 2008, down from 7.3% in February 2013. Manufacturing remained the largest of Ohio’s major employment sectors, and the state continued to be a leading producer of steel and autos. Like other manufacturing-heavy states, Ohio tends to have a somewhat more cyclical economy than the nation as a whole. The state has experienced a small boom in oil and gas production, due largely to hydraulic fracturing in the Utica shale field in the Appalachian Basin. According to a recent report from the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, production of natural gas and oil in the state more than doubled in 2013. Ohio also saw improvement in its housing market in 2013, with the state’s home sales rising almost 15%. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of prices in 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in Cleveland were 4.0% higher in January 2014 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared) than a year earlier. On the fiscal front, Ohio has seen revenue recovery in line with its economic recovery, with Fiscal 2013 tax revenues 10.6% higher than prior-year collections. Income and sales taxes now make up more than half the state’s general fund revenues. In Fiscal 2013, Ohio fully funded its budget stabilization fund to its statutory maximum for the first time since 2000. Ohio’s Fiscal 2014-2015 biennial budget included significant tax reform, including a 10% personal income tax reduction over the next three years and a 0.25% sales tax rate increase effective September 2013. The state’s Medicaid expansion, which became effective January 1, 2014, was expected to have minimal budget impact due to the fact that additional enrollment will be covered by an estimated $562 million in federal funds for Fiscal 2014. As of February 2014, Moody’s and S&P rated Ohio GO debt at Aa1 and AA+, respectively, with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, municipal issuance in Ohio totaled $9.1 billion, a decrease of 27% compared with the twelve months ended February 28, 2013.
The economic recovery in Texas continued to outpace the national recovery, with the state’s employment surpassing pre-recession levels in September 2011. Texas experienced solid employment growth across all industries in 2013, as goods-producing industry growth of 3.7% outpaced the 2.8% growth in service-producing industries. The state’s three largest employment sectors, education and health services, professional and business services and trade, represented approximately 47% of the state’s workers. Strong employment and expanded labor force participation, together with positive demographic trends, created strong demand for housing and increases in the state’s housing prices and home sales. As of February 2014, the state’s 5.7% unemployment rate was down from 6.5% in February 2013 and well below the February 2014 national rate of 6.7%. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index, housing prices in Dallas posted a year-over-year increase of 10.0% as of January 2014 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), putting home prices there less than 1% away from their all-time highs. On the fiscal front, Texas continued to benefit from strong revenue growth, and the state’s Fiscal 2014-2015 biennium budget was able to restore some previous budget cuts.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Texas state sales tax collections represent more than half of the state’s general revenues, and Fiscal 2013 collections were 7.2% higher than those in Fiscal 2012, with January 2014 receipts coming in 8.3% higher than those of January 2013. S&P upgraded its Texas GO rating to AAA from AA+ in December 2013, while Moody’s and Fitch rated Texas GO debt at Aaa and AAA, respectively, with stable outlooks as of February 2014. For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, municipal issuance in Texas totaled $33.7 billion, a decrease of 11% from the previous twelve months. Texas continued to rank as the third largest state issuer behind California and New York.
What key strategies were used to manage these Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014?
As previously discussed, during the first part of this reporting period, debate over federal spending, uncertainty about the Fed’s quantitative easing program and headline credit stories involving Detroit and Puerto Rico led to an unsettled environment and increased selling by bondholders across the fixed income markets. Although the second half of the reporting period brought stabilization and a municipal market rally driven by stronger demand and tight supply, municipal bond prices nationwide generally declined for the reporting period as a whole, while interest rates rose. During this time, we continued to take a bottom-up approach to discovering sectors that appeared undervalued as well as individual credits that had the potential to perform well over the long term and helps us keep our Funds fully invested.
During this reporting period, the Funds found value in diversified areas of the marketplace. In NAZ, we purchased a broad mix of sectors and maturities, including higher education credits for the University of Arizona and Arizona State University as well as bonds issued for Tucson water, the Salt River Project electric system, Yavapai Regional Medical Center, Mesa highways and tax increment financing (TIF) districts. All of our purchases consisted of Arizona paper, with the exception of business privilege tax bonds issued by the government of Guam (bonds issued by U.S. territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam and Virgin Islands, are generally tax-exempt for investors in most states). These bonds, which were added to the portfolio in November 2013, have performed well since our purchase. In Michigan, despite the substantial drop in state issuance during this reporting period, we continued to find bonds that helped us accomplish our goals for NUM, adding several higher education issues (University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Western Michigan University), water and sewer bonds issued for Michigan Clean Water and Lake St. Clair, as well as Michigan Public Power Agency, Wayne County Airport, Oakwood Healthcare and Michigan State Trunk Line dedicated tax bonds. NUM also purchased a state appropriation issue and a local government obligation (GO) bond. In Ohio, NUO found value in health care, local GOs, water and sewer (Cleveland and Toledo), Cleveland Airport, Ohio Turnpike and Cleveland income tax revenue bonds. Our purchases in NTX during this reporting period focused on local and state GOs, dedicated tax (including hotel occupancy tax) bonds, utilities, higher education, charter schools and health care. All of our purchases in the Michigan, Ohio and Texas Funds represented in-state paper.
Overall, one of our key areas of focus during this reporting period was reducing the Funds’ exposure to Puerto Rico and other territorial paper, based on the credit situation in Puerto Rico. (Further information on developments in Puerto Rico and our Puerto Rico holdings can be found later in this report.) Activity during this reporting period was driven primarily by the reinvestment of proceeds from our sales of Puerto Rico bonds as well as proceeds from called and matured bonds. This reinvestment activity was aimed at keeping the Funds fully invested. More broadly, we focused on adding attractive bonds across the credit quality spectrum as opportunities to purchase bonds with long term potential arose. While market action during this reporting period acted to extend the Funds’ durations naturally, we continued to find value in bonds in the intermediate and longer parts of the municipal yield curve, basically maintaining duration within targeted objectives. Because the issuance of new municipal supply in the primary market generally declined during this reporting period, especially in Arizona and Michigan, we also looked to the secondary market as an additional source of attractive opportunities.
As of February 28, 2014, all four of these Funds continued to use inverse floating rate securities. We employ inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement. During this reporting period, NAZ found it advantageous to add a new inverse floating rate trust following its merger with three Nuveen Arizona Funds (NFZ, NKR, NXE) in April 2013.

How did the Funds perform for the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014?
The tables in each Fund’s Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide the Funds’ total returns for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2014. Each Fund’s returns on common share net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of corresponding market index and Lipper classification average.
For the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, the total returns on common share NAV for these four Funds underperformed the returns for their respective state’s S&P Municipal Bond Index as well as that of the national S&P Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, NUM and NTX outperformed the average return for the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification, while NAZ and NUO performed in line with this Lipper average.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns during this reporting period included duration and yield curve positioning, credit exposure and sector allocation. The use of leverage also was an important factor affecting the Funds’ performance. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in this report.
As interest rates rose and the yield curve steepened, municipal bonds with shorter maturities generally outperformed those with longer maturities. Overall, credits with short intermediate maturities (between two and six years) posted the best returns, while bonds at the longest end of the municipal yield curve produced the weakest results. In general, the Funds’ durations and yield curve positioning were key detractors from their performance during this reporting period. All of these Funds tended to be overweighted in the longer parts of the yield curve that underperformed and generally underweighted in the outperforming shorter end of the curve. This was especially true in NUO, which had the longest duration among these four Funds, while duration was a modest negative in NTX, which had the shortest duration among this group.
Credit exposure was another factor in the Funds’ performance during this twelve-month reporting period. While performance by credit sector varied from state to state, in general the BBB-rated category (with the exception of Puerto Rico bonds) and non-rated bonds outperformed the general municipal market, as the environment shifted from tradeoff to rally and investors became more willing to accept risk. Overall, credit exposure contributed positively to NUM and NTX, was a neutral to slightly negative factor in NUO and generally detracted from NAZ’s performance.
Among the municipal market sectors, housing bonds generally were the top performers, helped by improving property value assessments and a decline in mortgage and tax delinquencies. Tied to this was the performance of TIF district credits, which benefited from the improving housing market and overall economy. In particular, NAZ received a positive contribution from its overweighting in TIF bonds. Pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities, also were among the best performing market segments. The outperformance of these bonds relative to the market can be attributed primarily to their shorter effective maturities. All of these Funds had holdings of pre-refunded bonds, with NTX having the heaviest allocation of these bonds and NAZ the smallest. Other holdings that generally made positive contributions to the Funds’ returns included health care bonds (including hospitals) and GO credits, which typically outperformed the general municipal market, while industrial development revenue (IDR), education and water and sewer bonds generally performed in line with the market.
In contrast, revenue bonds as a whole underperformed the municipal market. Among the revenue sectors that generally lagged municipal market performance by the widest margins for this reporting period were utilities and transportation. Dedicated tax bonds, including the sales tax bonds issued by Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA), also generally detracted from the Funds’ performance and tobacco credits backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement were among the poorest performing market sectors, due in part to their longer effective durations. All of these Funds except NUM had allocations of tobacco bonds issued by The Children’s Trust Fund (Puerto Rico), while NUM and NUO held Michigan and Buckeye tobacco bonds, respectively. During this reporting period, NUO and NTX sold out of their positions in Puerto Rico tobacco bonds. NAZ was also negatively impacted by its holding of Arizona Higher Education Student Loan auction rate bonds, which had essentially been illiquid since the financial crisis began in 2008. These bonds were eventually called by the issuer in July 2013.

Portfolio Managers’ Comments (continued)
Over the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2014, two events in the broader municipal market also had an impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance: the downgrade of Puerto Rico bonds to below investment grade and the bankruptcy filing of Detroit, Michigan. In Puerto Rico, the commonwealth’s continued economic weakening, escalating debt service obligations and longstanding inability to deliver a balanced budget led to multiple downgrades on its debt over the past twelve months. Following the most recent round of rating reductions in early February 2014, the three major rating agencies Moody’s, S&P and Fitch Ratings rated Puerto Rico GO debt at Ba2/BB+/BB, respectively, with negative outlooks. Ratings on sales tax bonds issued by COFINA also were lowered during the past twelve months, with senior sales tax revenue bonds rated Baa1/AA-/AA- and subordinate sales tax revenue bonds rated Baa2/A+/A+ by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, as of February 2014. The COFINA bonds were able to maintain a higher credit rating than the GOs because, unlike the revenue streams supporting some Puerto Rican issues, the sales taxes supporting the COFINA bonds cannot be diverted and used to support Puerto Rico’s GO bonds.
For the reporting period ended February 28, 2014, Puerto Rico paper underperformed the municipal market as a whole. All of the Funds in this report had limited exposure to Puerto Rico bonds, and the impact on performance differed from Fund to Fund in line with the type and amount of its holdings. These bonds were originally added to our portfolios at times when in-state paper was scarce in order to keep the assets fully invested and working for the Funds. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from federal, state and local taxes). During this reporting period, these four Funds took advantage of opportunities to trim or close out positions in Puerto Rico paper. NAZ, which began this reporting period with an allocation of 4.9% to Puerto Rico debt, reduced its holdings of COFINA subordinate sales tax bonds and sold credits issued by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewerage Authority and Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority, reducing its Puerto Rico exposure to 1.1% by period end. NUM also reduced its Puerto Rico allocation from 2.55% at the beginning of the reporting period to 0.98% at the period end by selling COFINA senior sales tax credits and aqueduct bonds as well as those issued for the Puerto Rico co-generation facility. After period end, NUM sold pre-refunded Puerto Rico bonds, its last remaining position in Puerto Rico paper, bringing its allocation to zero. By period end, NUO also closed out all of its positions in Puerto Rico, which accounted for 3.84% of the portfolio on March 1, 2013, selling COFINA subordinates, aqueduct and pre-refunded bonds. NUM and NUO also sold Guam and Virgin Islands holdings during the reporting period. As of February 28, 2014, the only territorial holding remaining in these two Funds was NUO’s position in two Guam issues totaling $2.8 million. In NTX, we sold the Fund’s holdings of The Children’s Trust Fund tobacco bonds, reducing NTX’s Puerto Rico exposure from 0.96% to zero. A look at Puerto Rico’s tax-supported debt (GO, COFINA and guaranteed debt) as a whole makes it clear that the commonwealth’s debt was structured based on an assumption of a steadily growing economy. Unfortunately for Puerto Rico, its economy continues to struggle with high unemployment and population loss, among other problems. As a result, we believe that Puerto Rico bonds that lack a lien on specific revenues (e.g., COFINA sales tax bonds) or that are not backed by healthy bond insurers currently carry significant economic, fiscal and political risks.
The second event was the City of Detroit’s filing for Chapter 9 in federal bankruptcy court on July 18, 2013. Detroit, burdened by decades of population loss, changes in the auto manufacturing industry and significant tax base deterioration, had been under severe financial stress for an extended period. Detroit’s bankruptcy filing will likely be a lengthy one, given the complexity of its debt portfolio, number of creditors, numerous union contracts and significant legal questions that must be addressed. Shareholders of NUM should note that this Fund has no exposure to Detroit GO bonds. Its holdings of Detroit water and sewer credits, which generally are insured, underperformed for the reporting period.

FUND REORGANIZATIONS
Effective before the opening of business on April 8, 2013, certain Arizona Funds (the Acquired Funds) were reorganized into one, larger Arizona Fund included in this report (the Acquiring Fund) as follows:
Acquired Funds | Symbol | Acquiring Fund | Symbol | |
Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund | NFZ | Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund | NAZ | |
Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 | NKR | |||
Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 | NXE |
Effective before the opening of business on April 8, 2013, certain Ohio Funds (the Acquired Funds) were reorganized into one, larger Ohio Fund included in this report (the Acquiring Fund) as follows:
Acquired Funds | Symbol | Acquiring Fund | Symbol | |
Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund | NXI | Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund | NUO | |
Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 | NBJ | |||
Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 | NVJ |
Upon the closing of the reorganizations, the Acquired Funds transferred their assets to the Acquiring Funds in exchange for common and preferred shares of the Acquiring Funds and the assumption by the Acquiring Funds of the liabilities of the Acquired Funds. The Acquired Funds were then liquidated, dissolved, and terminated in accordance with their Declaration of Trust. Shareholders of the Acquired Funds became shareholders of the Acquiring Funds. Holders of common shares of the Acquired Funds received newly issued common shares of the Acquiring Funds, the aggregate net asset value of which was equal to the aggregate net asset value of the common shares of the Acquired Funds held immediately prior to the reorganizations (including for this purpose fractional Acquiring Funds shares to which shareholders would be entitled). Fractional shares were sold on the open market, and shareholders received cash in lieu of such fractional shares. Holders of preferred shares of the Acquired Funds received on a one-for-one basis newly issued preferred shares of the Acquiring Funds, in exchange for their preferred shares of the Acquired Funds held immediately prior to the reorganizations.
In conjunction with the reorganizations, a change-of-domicile reorganization was approved to convert NAZ and NUO from Minnesota corporations to Massachusetts business trusts. As a result, on April 8, 2013, the Funds’ names were changed to Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund and Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund. The Funds’ tickers remained unchanged.

IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through their issuance of preferred shares and/or investments in inverse floating rate securities, which represent leveraged investments in underlying bonds. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income, particularly in the recent market environment where short-term market rates are at or near historical lows, meaning that the short-term rates the Fund has been paying on its leveraging instruments have been much lower than the interest the Fund has been earning on its portfolio of long-term bonds that it has bought with the proceeds of that leverage. However, use of leverage also can expose the Fund to additional price volatility. When a Fund uses leverage, the Fund will experience a greater increase in its net asset value if the municipal bonds acquired through the use of leverage increase in value, but it will also experience a correspondingly larger decline in its net asset value if the bonds acquired through leverage decline in value, which will make the Fund’s net asset value more volatile, and its total return performance more variable over time. In addition, income in levered funds will typically decrease in comparison to unlevered funds when short-term interest rates increase and increase when short-term interest rates decrease. Leverage had a negative impact on the performance of the Funds over this reporting period.
As of February 28, 2014, the Funds’ percentages of effective and regulatory leverage are as shown in the accompanying table.
NAZ | NUM | NUO | NTX | |||||||||||||
Effective Leverage* | 36.97 | % | 36.71 | % | 39.70 | % | 33.51 | % | ||||||||
Regulatory Leverage* | 32.56 | % | 33.75 | % | 33.28 | % | 32.31 | % |
* | Effective leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |

Taxable-Equivalent Yield*** | 8.95% | 9.58% | 9.56% | 7.14% |
* | In connection with NUO’s reorganization, the Fund declared a dividend of $0.0279 per common share with an ex-dividend date of April 16, 2013, payable on May 1, 2013. This distribution was in addition to the Fund’s monthly tax-free dividend of $0.0800 with an ex-dividend date of April 3, 2013, payable on May 1, 2013. |
** | Distribution paid in December 2013. |
*** | Market Yield is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly dividend divided by the Fund’s current market price as of the end of the reporting period. Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax rate of 31.3%, 31.1% and 31.9% for the Arizona, Michigan and Ohio Funds, respectively. The Texas Fund is based on a federal income tax rate of 28.0%. When comparing a Fund to investments that generate qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower. |
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund’s past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of February 28, 2014, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

Risk
Considerations
Fund Shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:
Investment, Price and Market Risk. An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the municipal securities owned by the Fund, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Shares of closed-end investment companies like these Funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Leverage Risk. Each Fund’s use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund’s per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful. Certain aspects of the recently adopted Volcker Rule may limit the availability of tender option bonds, which are used by the Funds for leveraging and duration management purposes. The effects of this new Rule, expected to take effect in mid-2015, may make it more difficult for a Fund to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses to maintain its leverage.
Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations.
Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund’s portfolio will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.
Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.
Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund’s portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.
Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing a Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.
Inverse Floater Risk. The Funds invest in inverse floaters. Due to their leveraged nature, these investments can greatly increase a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, investments in inverse floaters involve the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original principal investment.

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund
Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund
Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund
Nuveen Texas Quality Income Municipal Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund, and Nuveen Texas Quality Income Municipal Fund (the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2014, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund, and Nuveen Texas Quality Income Municipal Fund at February 28, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(a) | The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. |
(b) | Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. |
Total returns are not annualized. | |
Total Return Based on Common Share NAV is the combination of changes in common share NAV, reinvested dividend income at NAV and reinvested capital gains distributions at NAV, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending NAV. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its NAV), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. | |
* | Rounds to less than $.01 per share. |

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

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Fund Information
The state funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
· | Nuveen Arizona Premium Income Municipal Fund (NAZ) (“Arizona Premium Income (NAZ)”) |
· | Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund (NUM) (“Michigan Quality Income (NUM)”) |
· | Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund (NUO) (“Ohio Quality Income (NUO)”) |
· | Nuveen Texas Quality Income Municipal Fund (NTX) (“Texas Quality Income (NTX)”) |
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, closed-end registered investment companies. Arizona Premium Income (NAZ), Michigan Quality Income (NUM) and Ohio Quality Income (NUO) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on April 8, 2013, January 7, 2013 and April 8, 2013, respectively (previously organized as Minnesota trusts on January 23, 1991, July 25, 1991 and October 17, 1991, respectively). Texas Quality Income (NTX) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on July 26, 1991.
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Investment Objectives
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.
Fund Reorganizations
Effective prior to the opening of business on April 8, 2013, certain Arizona and Ohio Funds were reorganized in two of the larger-state funds included in this report as follows:
Acquired Funds | Acquiring Funds |
Arizona Funds | |
Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFZ) (“Arizona Dividend Advantage (NFZ)”) | Arizona Premium Income (NAZ) |
Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NKR) (“Arizona Dividend Advantage 2 (NKR)”) | |
Nuveen Arizona Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NXE) (“Arizona Dividend Advantage 3 (NXE)”) | |
Ohio Funds | |
Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NXI) (“Ohio Dividend Advantage (NXI)”) | Ohio Quality Income (NUO) |
Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NBJ) (“Ohio Dividend Advantage 2 (NBJ)”) | |
Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NVJ) (“Ohio Dividend Advantage 3 (NVJ)”) |
The reorganizations of the Funds were approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Funds at a special meeting on March 11, 2013.
Upon the closing of each Fund’s reorganization (each a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”), the Acquired Funds transferred their assets to the Acquiring Funds in exchange for common and preferred shares of the Acquiring Funds and the assumption by the Acquiring Funds of the liabilities of the Acquired Funds. The Acquired Funds were then liquidated, dissolved and terminated in accordance with their Declaration of Trust. Shareholders of the Acquired Funds became shareholders of the Acquiring Funds. Holders of common shares of the Acquired Funds received newly issued common shares of the Acquiring Funds, the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of which was equal to the aggregate NAV of the common shares of the Acquired Funds held immediately prior to the Reorganizations (including for this purpose fractional Acquiring Funds shares to which shareholders would be entitled). Fractional shares were sold on the open market and shareholders received cash in lieu of such fractional shares. Holders of preferred shares of the Acquired Funds received on a one-for-one basis newly issued preferred shares of the Acquiring Funds, in exchange for preferred shares of the Acquired Funds held immediately prior to the Reorganizations. Details of each state’s Reorganizations are further described in the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares section of this note and Note 8 – Fund Reorganizations.

Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of February 28, 2014, the following Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
Ohio | Texas | |
Quality | Quality | |
Income | Income | |
(NUO) | (NTX) | |
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | $1,969,726 | $3,132,475 |
Investment Income
Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Should a Fund receive a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to common shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Auction Rate Preferred Shares
Each Fund is authorized to issue Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). During prior fiscal periods, the Funds redeemed all of their outstanding ARPS, at liquidation value.
MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
Texas Quality Income (NTX) has issued and outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, with a $10 stated par value per share. The Fund’s MTP Shares were issued in one Series and trade on the NYSE. Dividends on MTP Shares, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, are paid monthly at a fixed annual rate, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances.
As of February 28, 2014, the details of Texas Quality Income’s (NTX) MTP Shares outstanding were as follows:
Shares | |||||
Outstanding | |||||
NYSE | Shares | at $10 Per Share | Annual | ||
Series | Ticker | Outstanding | Liquidation Value | Dividend Rate | |
Texas Quality Income (NTX) | 2015 | NTX PRC | 7,092,000 | $70,920,000 | 2.30% |
The Fund is obligated to redeem its MTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. MTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. MTP Shares were subject to redemption at the option of the Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to a payment of premium for one year following the Optional Redemption Date (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. MTP Shares also will be subject to redemption, at the option of the Fund, at par in the event of certain changes in the credit rating of the MTP Shares. The Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the MTP Shares if the Fund fails
Nuveen Investments 67
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for the Fund’s series of MTP Shares by NYSE ticker symbol are as follows:
NYSE | Term | Optional | Premium | ||
Series | Ticker | Redemption Date | Redemption Date | Expiration Date | |
Texas Quality Income (NTX) | 2015 | NTX PRC | December 1, 2015 | December 1, 2011 | November 30, 2012 |
During the current fiscal period, Arizona Premium Income (NAZ), Michigan Quality Income (NUM) and Ohio Quality Income (NUO) had issued and outstanding MTP Shares.
Arizona Premium Income (NAZ) redeemed all of its outstanding Series 2015 MTP Shares on December 20, 2013. Michigan Quality Income (NUM) redeemed all of its outstanding Series 2015 MTP Shares on December 20, 2013. Ohio Quality Income (NUO) redeemed all of its outstanding Series 2014, 2015 and 2016 MTP Shares on October 7, 2013.
Each of Arizona Premium Income’s (NAZ) and Michigan Quality Income’s (NUM) MTP Shares were redeemed at their $10.00 liquidation value per share plus dividend amounts owed using proceeds from its issuance of VMTP Shares (as described below in Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares).
Ohio Quality Income’s (NUO) MTP Shares were redeemed at their $10.00 liquidation value per share plus dividend amounts owed using proceeds from its issuance of VRDP Shares (as described below in Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares).
The average liquidation value for all series of MTP Shares outstanding for the Funds during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, was as follows:
Arizona | Michigan | Ohio | Texas | |
Premium | Quality | Quality | Quality | |
Income | Income | Income | Income | |
(NAZ)*^ | (NUM)** | (NUO)***^ | (NTX) | |
Average liquidation value of MTP Shares outstanding | $50,671,000 | $16,313,000 | $73,817,550 | $70,920,000 |
* | For the period April 8, 2013 through December 20, 2013. |
** | For the period March 1, 2013 through December 20, 2013. |
*** | For the period April 8, 2013 through October 7, 2013. |
^ | Includes MTP Shares issued in connection with its Reorganization. |
For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of MTP Shares is recorded as a liability and recognized as “MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends accrued on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of MTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In conjunction with Arizona Premium Income’s (NAZ), Michigan Quality Income’s (NUM) and Ohio Quality Income’s (NUO) redemption of MTP Shares, the remaining deferred offering costs of $407,922, $158,771 and $296,550, respectively, were fully expensed during the current fiscal period, as the redemptions were deemed an extinguishment of debt.
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. The Funds issued their VMTP Shares in privately negotiated offerings, which were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

As of February 28, 2014, VMTP Shares outstanding, at liquidation value, for each Fund were as follows:
Shares | |||
Outstanding | |||
Shares | at $100,000 Per Share | ||
Series | Outstanding | Liquidation Value | |
Arizona Premium Income (NAZ) | 2016 | 790 | $79,000,000 |
Michigan Quality Income (NUM) | 2016 | 1,590 | $159,000,000 |
Each Fund is obligated to redeem its VMTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VMTP Shares are subject to redemption at the option of each Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to payment of premium for approximately one year following the date of issuance (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the VMTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for each Fund’s series of VMTP Shares are as follows:
Term | Optional | Premium | ||
Series | Redemption Date | Redemption Date | Expiration Date | |
Arizona Premium Income (NAZ) | 2016 | December 30, 2016 | January 1, 2015 | December 31, 2014 |
Michigan Quality Income (NUM) | 2016 | December 30, 2016 | January 1, 2015 | December 31, 2014 |
The average liquidation value of VMTP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for each Fund during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, were as follows:
Arizona | Michigan | Ohio | |
Premium | Quality | Quality | |
Income | Income | Income | |
(NAZ) | (NUM) | (NUO)* | |
Average liquidation value of VMTP Shares outstanding | $41,389,041 | $149,604,110 | $73,500,000 |
Annualized dividend rate | 1.08% | 1.11% | 1.15% |
* For the period March 1, 2013 through October 6, 2013.
VMTP Shares generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be approximately their liquidation par value so long as the fixed “spread” on the VMTP Shares remains roughly in line with the “spread” rates being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Funds’ Adviser has determined that the fair value of VMTP Shares is their liquidation value, but their fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of VMTP Shares is recorded as a liability and recognized as “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends accrued on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Offering costs incurred in connection with each Fund’s offering of VMTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In conjunction with Arizona Premium Income’s (NAZ) and Ohio Quality Income’s (NUO) redemption of VMTP Shares, the remaining deferred offering costs of $42,905 and $138,592, respectively, were fully expensed during the current fiscal period, as the redemptions were deemed an extinguishment of debt. In conjunction with Michigan Quality Income’s (NUM) exchange and redemption of VMTP Shares, the remaining deferred offering costs of $171,591 for the Fund’s issuance of Series 2014 VMTP Shares were fully expensed during the current fiscal period, as the exchange and redemption were deemed an extinguishment of debt. Offering costs of $130,000 and $135,000, respectively, were incurred with Arizona Premium Income’s (NAZ) and Michigan Quality Income’s (NUM) issuance of Series 2016 VMTP Shares, which were recorded as a deferred charge and are being amortized over the life of the shares.
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
The following Fund has issued and outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. During the current fiscal period, Ohio Quality Income (NUO) issued 1,480 Series 1 VRDP Shares through a privately negotiated offering, which were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

Ohio Quality Income (NUO) | 1 | 1,480 | $148,000,000 | September 1, 2043 |
VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom the Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. The Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. The Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of .10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. The Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketings for VRDP Shares are continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
The average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for the Fund during the period September 26, 2013 (first issuance date of shares) through February 28, 2014, were as follows:
Ohio | |
Quality | |
Income | |
(NUO) | |
Average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding | $148,000,000 |
Annualized dividend rate | .15% |
For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is a liability and recognized as “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on the VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its offerings of VRDP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offerings costs” on the Statement of Operations. Offering costs of $295,000 were incurred with Ohio Quality Income’s (NUO) issuance of 1,480 Series 1 VRDP Shares, which were recorded as a deferred charge and are being amortized over the life of the shares. In addition to interest expense, the Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, as well as a remarketing fee, which are recognized as “Liquidity fees” and “Remarketing fees”, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs
Texas Quality Income (NTX) filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing the Fund to issue additional common shares through its ongoing equity shelf program (“Shelf Offering”), which became effective with the SEC during prior fiscal periods.
Under this Shelf Offering, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per common share.
Authorized common shares, common shares issued and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under the Fund’s Shelf Offering during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 were as follows:
Texas Quality | ||
Income (NTX) | ||
Year | Year | |
Ended | Ended | |
2/28/14 | 2/28/13 | |
Additional common shares authorized | 950,000 | 950,000 |
Common shares issued | 10,120 | 398,357 |
Offering proceeds, net of offering costs | $156,238 | $6,438,085 |
70 Nuveen Investments
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its Shelf Offering are recorded as a deferred charge and recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These deferred charges are recognized over the period such additional shares are sold by reducing the proceeds from the Shelf Offering. These deferred charges are not to exceed the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period and are recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. At the end of the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period, any remaining deferred charges will be expensed accordingly and recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations. Any additional costs the Fund may incur in connection with its Shelf Offering are expenses as incurred and recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, Nuveen Securities, LLC, the Funds’ distributor and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, received commissions of $324, related to the sale of common shares from the Shelf Offering.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of February 28, 2014, the Funds were not invested in any portfolio securities or derivative instruments that are subject to netting agreements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation
Prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Trustees or its designee.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

* Refer to the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for industry classifications.
The Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
(i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. | |
(ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.

3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” The Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows only the inverse floaters and not the underlying bonds as an asset, and does not reflect the short-term floating rate certificates as liabilities. Also, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on its inverse floater investment (net of the interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates and the expenses of the trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust, at their liquidation value, as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, were as follows:
Arizona | Michigan | Ohio | Texas | |
Premium | Quality | Quality | Quality | |
Income | Income | Income | Income | |
(NAZ) | (NUM) | (NUO) | (NTX) | |
Average floating rate obligations outstanding | $2,755,000 | $6,625,000 | $7,490,753 | $3,960,000 |
Average annual interest rate and fees | .57% | .80% | .58% | .32% |
As of February 28, 2014, the total amount of floating rate obligations issued by each Fund’s self-deposited inverse floaters and externally-deposited inverse floaters was as follows:
Arizona | Michigan | Ohio | Texas | |
Premium | Quality | Quality | Quality | |
Income | Income | Income | Income | |
(NAZ) | (NUM) | (NUO) | (NTX) | |
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited inverse floaters | $ 2,755,000 | $ 6,625,000 | $ 8,625,000 | $3,960,000 |
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited inverse floaters | 14,215,000 | 15,413,000 | 38,715,000 | — |
Total | $16,970,000 | $22,038,000 | $47,340,000 | $3,960,000 |
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate
Nuveen Investments 73
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of February 28, 2014, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:
Arizona | Michigan | Ohio | Texas | |
Premium | Quality | Quality | Quality | |
Income | Income | Income | Income | |
(NAZ) | (NUM) | (NUO) | (NTX) | |
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts | $14,215,000 | $8,430,000 | $15,130,000 | $ — |
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund will limit its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim the exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in derivative instruments and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.
As of February 28, 2014, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Arizona | Michigan | Ohio | Texas | |
Premium | Quality | Quality | Quality | |

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Managed Assets* | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million | .4500% |
For the next $125 million | .4375 |
For the next $250 million | .4250 |
For the next $500 million | .4125 |
For the next $1 billion | .4000 |
For the next $3 billion | .3875 |
For managed assets over $5 billion | .3750 |
78 Nuveen Investments
The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level* | Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level |
$55 billion | .2000% |
$56 billion | .1996 |
$57 billion | .1989 |
$60 billion | .1961 |
$63 billion | .1931 |
$66 billion | .1900 |
$71 billion | .1851 |
$76 billion | .1806 |
$80 billion | .1773 |
$91 billion | .1691 |
$125 billion | .1599 |
$200 billion | .1505 |
$250 billion | .1469 |
$300 billion | .1445 |
* | For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen Funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds and assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of February 28, 2014, the complex-level fee rate for these Funds was .1672%. |
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
8. Fund Reorganizations
The Reorganizations were structured to qualify as tax-free reorganizations under the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes, and the Acquired Funds’ shareholders will recognize no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result. Prior to the closing of each of the Reorganizations, the Acquired Funds distributed all of their net investment income and capital gains, if any. Such a distribution may be taxable to the Acquired Funds’ shareholders for federal income tax purposes.

The cost, fair value and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the investments of the Acquired Funds as of the date of their respective Reorganization, were as follows:

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 9,076,079 | 6,498,868 | 4,877,454 |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Funds were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Funds were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Funds’ realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Results of Operations
The beginning of the Acquired Funds’ current fiscal period was March 1, 2013. Assuming the Reorganizations had been completed on March 1, 2013, the beginning of the Acquiring Funds’ current fiscal period, the pro forma results of operations for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, are as follows:
Arizona | Ohio | |
Premium | Quality | |
Income | Income | |
Acquiring Funds – Pro Forma Results of Operations | (NAZ) | (NUO) |
Net investment income (loss) | $ 7,943,709 | $ 15,894,412 |
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) | (13,982,777) | (27,412,095) |
Change in net assets resulting from operations | (6,039,068) | (11,517,683) |
Because the combined investment portfolios for each Reorganization have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since each Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that have been included in the Statement of Operations for the Acquiring Funds since the Reorganizations were consummated.
In connection with the Reorganizations, the Acquiring Funds incurred certain associated costs and expenses. Such amounts were included as components of “Accrued other expenses” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
9. Subsequent Events
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On April 14, 2014, TIAA-CREF, a national financial services organization, announced that it had entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Nuveen Investments, the parent company of the Adviser. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the year, subject to customary closing conditions, including obtaining necessary Nuveen Fund and client consents sufficient to satisfy the terms of the Purchase Agreement and obtaining customary regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that the transaction described above will be consummated as contemplated or that necessary conditions will be satisfied.
The consummation of the transaction will be deemed to be an “assignment” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management agreements between the Nuveen Funds and the Adviser and the investment sub-advisory agreements between the Adviser and each Nuveen Fund’s sub-adviser or sub-advisers, and will result in automatic termination of each agreement. It is anticipated that the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Nuveen Funds (the “Board”) will consider a new investment management agreement with the Adviser and new investment sub-advisory agreements with each sub-adviser. If approved by the Board, the new agreements will be presented to the Nuveen Funds’ shareholders for approval, and, if so approved by shareholders, will take effect upon consummation of the transaction or such later time as shareholder approval is obtained.
The transaction is not expected to result in any change in the portfolio management of the Funds or in the Funds’ investment objectives or policies.

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report
· | Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction. |
· | Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. |
· | Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. |
· | Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see lever- age) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. |
· | Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. |
· | Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse float- ing rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis. |
· | Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. |
· | Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. |
· | Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding. |
· | Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value. |

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report Process (continued)
· | Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |
· | S&P Municipal Bond Indexes Arizona and Texas: Unleveraged, market value-weighted indexes designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade municipal bond markets in Arizona and Texas, respectively. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
· | S&P Municipal Bond Indexes for Michigan and Ohio: Unleveraged, market value-weighted indexes designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade municipal bond markets in Michigan and Ohio, respectively. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
· | S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax- exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
· | Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to finan- cial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities. |
· | Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically. |

Reinvest Automatically,
Easily and Conveniently
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan
Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
Easy and convenient
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
How shares are purchased
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
Flexible
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS
The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (formerly Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.) (the “Adviser”), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (“Affiliated Fund Service Provider”), for engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting, during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is completed.

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

Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, formerly known as Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc., is the registrant’s investment adviser (also referred to as the “Adviser”). The Adviser is responsible for the on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. As part of these services, the Adviser has delegated to the Sub-Adviser the full responsibility for proxy voting on securities held in the registrant’s portfolio and related duties in accordance with the Sub-Adviser's policies and procedures. The Adviser periodically monitors the Sub-Adviser's voting to ensure that it is carrying out its duties. The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures are attached to this filing as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, formerly known as Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc., is the registrant’s investment adviser (also referred to as the “Adviser”). The Adviser is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services. The Adviser has engaged Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen Asset Management” or “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. The following section provides information on the portfolio manager at the Sub-Adviser:
The Portfolio Manager
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the registrant’s investment strategies:
Name | Fund |
Daniel J. Close | Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, formerly known as Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. |
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts:
Portfolio Manager | Type of Account Managed | Number of Accounts | Assets* |
Daniel J. Close | Registered Investment Company | 16 | $4.864 billion |
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles | 0 | $0 | |
Other Accounts | 11 | $192 million |
* | Assets are as of February 28, 2014. None of the assets in these accounts are subject to an advisory fee based on performance. |
POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented a number of potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below.
The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.
With respect to many of its clients’ accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.
Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.
Nuveen Asset Management has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash bonus and long term incentive payments.
Base pay. Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio manager’s general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.
Annual cash bonus. The Fund’s portfolio managers are eligible for an annual cash bonus based on investment performance, qualitative evaluation and financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management.
A portion of each portfolio manager’s annual cash bonus is based on the Fund’s investment performance, generally measured over the past one- and three or five-year periods unless the portfolio manager’s tenure is shorter. Investment performance for the Fund generally is determined by evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark(s) and/or Lipper industry peer group.
A portion of the cash bonus is based on a qualitative evaluation made by each portfolio manager’s supervisor taking into consideration a number of factors, including the portfolio manager’s team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with Nuveen Asset Management’s policies and procedures.
The final factor influencing a portfolio manager’s cash bonus is the financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management based on its operating earnings.
Long-term incentive compensation. Certain key employees of Nuveen 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 Fund and the Other Accounts shown in the table above.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of February 28, 2014 the portfolio manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by Nuveen Asset Management’s municipal investment team.
Name of Portfolio Manager | Fund | Dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned in Fund | Dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned in the remainder of Nuveen funds managed by Nuveen Asset Management’s municipal investment team |
Daniel J. Close | Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund | $0 | $0 |
