Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
After a prolonged absence, volatility has returned to the markets in 2018. Last year, the markets seemed willing to shrug off any bad news. But in the first few months of 2018, a backdrop of greater economic uncertainty has made markets more reactive to daily headlines. Interest rates in the U.S. have started to move off of historic lows, inflation is expected to finally pick up and the tax reform passed in late December 2017 could extend, and possibly bolster, the economy’s growth streak. How the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will manage these conditions is under intense scrutiny, particularly in light of the Fed’s leadership change in February 2018.
At the same time, trade protectionism could upend sentiment and growth assumptions for the global economy. Investors are also concerned about the potential for increased government regulation on technology companies, whose shares recently declined due to a data privacy scandal and other negative news. Trade and tech do merit watching, but with few policy specifics at the moment, the long-term implications remain difficult to assess.
While the risks surrounding trade, monetary and fiscal policy may have increased, there is still opportunity for upside. Recession risk continues to look low, global economies are still expanding and corporate profits have continued to be healthy. Fundamentals, not headlines, drive markets over the long term. And, it’s easy to forget the relative calm over the past year was the outlier. A return to more historically normal volatility levels is both to be expected and part of the healthy functioning of the markets.
Context and perspective are important. If you’re investing for long-term goals, stay focused on the long term, as temporary bumps may smooth over time. Individuals that have shorter timeframes could also benefit from sticking to a clearly defined investment strategy with a portfolio designed for short-term needs. Your financial advisor can help you determine if your portfolio is properly aligned with your goals, timeline and risk tolerance, as well as help you differentiate the noise from what really matters. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board
April 23, 2018
Portfolio Manager’s Comments
Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund (NXJ)
Nuveen New Jersey Municipal Value Fund (NJV)
Nuveen Pennsylvania Quality Municipal Income Fund (NQP)
Nuveen Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund (NPN)
These Funds feature portfolio management by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (NAM), an affiliate of Nuveen, LLC. Portfolio manager Paul L. Brennan, CFA, reviews U.S. economic and municipal market conditions at the national and state levels, key investment strategies and the twelve-month performance of the Nuveen New Jersey and Pennsylvania Funds. Paul assumed portfolio management responsibility for these four Funds in 2011.
What factors affected the U.S. economy and the national municipal bond market during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018?
The U.S. economy began 2017 at a sluggish pace but gained momentum mid-year, growing at an annualized rate above 3% in the second and third quarters of 2017. In the final three months of 2017, the economy slowed slightly to 2.9%, as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis “third” estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP). GDP is the value of goods and services produced by the nation’s economy less the value of the goods and services used up in production, adjusted for price changes.
Consumer spending, boosted by employment and wage gains, continued to drive the economy. The Atlantic coast hurricanes in September and October 2017 temporarily weakened shopping and dining out activity, but rebuilding efforts had a positive impact on the economy. Business investment, which had been lackluster in the recovery so far, accelerated in 2017, and hiring continued to boost employment. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% in February 2018 from 4.7% in February 2017 and job gains averaged around 190,000 per month for the past twelve months. While the jobs market has continued to tighten, wage growth has remained lackluster during this economic recovery. However, the January jobs report revealed an unexpected pick-up in wages, which triggered a broad sell-off in equities, despite tame inflation readings. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.2% over the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018 on a seasonally adjusted basis, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.8% during the same period, slightly below the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) unofficial longer term inflation objective of 2.0%.

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (continued)
The housing market also continued to improve, with historically low mortgage rates and low inventory driving home prices higher. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, recorded a 6.2% annual gain in January 2018 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). The 10-City and 20-City Composites reported year-over-year increases of 6.0% and 6.4%, respectively.
With the U.S. economy delivering a sustainable growth rate and employment strengthening, the Fed’s policy making committee continued to incrementally raise its main benchmark interest rate. The most recent increase, in March 2018 (after the close of this reporting period), was the sixth rate hike since December 2015. In addition, in October 2017, the Fed began reducing its balance sheet by allowing a small amount of maturing Treasury and mortgage securities to roll off without reinvestment. The market expects the pace to remain moderate and predictable, with minimal market disruption.
Investors carefully watched the transition of leadership from outgoing Fed Chair Janet Yellen, whose term expired in February 2018, to the new Chairman Jerome Powell. While Chairman Powell was largely expected to stay on the path set by his predecessor, his first public address was perceived as somewhat more hawkish than the market expected, which led to some near-term volatility at the end of the reporting period.
Investors also sought to gauge the Fed’s reaction to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law in late December 2017. While it is still too early to know the full impact of the tax reform, which lowers the tax rates on individuals and corporations, investors worried about the Fed stepping up the pace of rate increases to temper a potentially overheating economy.
With the tax overhaul accomplished, the Trump administration resumed focus on some of its other policies. The surprise announcement of steel and aluminum tariffs sparked fears of a trade war and added uncertainty to the ongoing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) negotiations. Protectionist rhetoric also garnered attention across Europe, as anti-European Union sentiment featured prominently (although did not win a majority) in the Dutch, French, German and Italian elections held in 2017 and early 2018. In the U.K., Brexit talks have progressed but uncertainties remain.
The municipal bond market produced a positive return over this reporting period, although not without volatility. For most of the reporting period, municipal bonds continued to rebound from the post-election sell-off in the fourth quarter of 2016. After President Trump’s surprising win, bond markets repriced his reflationary fiscal agenda, driving interest rates higher. Municipal bonds suffered a surge in investor outflows due to speculation that the Trump administration’s tax reform proposals could adversely impact municipal bonds.
However, the economy sustained its moderate growth with low inflation, an improving jobs market and modest wage growth, and progress on the White House’s agenda was slow. This backdrop helped municipal bond yields and valuations return to pre-election levels and reverse the trend of outflows. Fundamental credit conditions continued to be favorable overall, while the ongoing high-profile difficulties in Puerto Rico, Illinois and New Jersey were contained.
After the new administration’s health care and immigration reforms met obstacles, Congress refocused on tax reform initiatives in the latter months of 2017. Early drafts of the bill fostered significant uncertainty about the impact on the municipal bond market, leading municipal bonds to underperform taxable bonds in December and provoking issuers to rush bond offerings ahead of the pending tax law. Issuance in December reached an all-time high of $62.5 billion, exacerbating the market’s price decline during the month. However, all of the supply was absorbed and municipal bond valuations subsequently returned to more typical levels.
The final tax reform legislation signed on December 27, 2017 largely spared municipal bonds and was considered neutral to positive for the municipal market overall. Notably, a provision that would have eliminated the tax-preferred status of 20 to 30% of the municipal bond market was not included in the final bill. Moreover, investors were relieved that the adopted changes apply only to newly issued municipal bonds and also could be beneficial from a technical standpoint. Because new issue advance refunding bonds are no longer tax exempt, the total supply of municipal bonds will decrease going forward, boosting the scarcity value of existing municipal bonds. The new tax law also caps the state and local tax (SALT) deduction for individuals, which will likely increase demand for tax-exempt municipal bonds, especially in states with high income and/or property taxes.
Following the issuance surge in late 2017, issuance remained sharply lower in early 2018. However, the overall balance of municipal bond supply and demand remained advantageous for prices. Municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $453.6 billion in this reporting period, an 8.8% drop from the issuance for the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2017. The robust pace of issuance seen since the low volume depths of 2011 began to moderate in 2017 as interest rates moved higher. Despite the increase, the overall level of interest rates still remained low, encouraging issuers to continue to actively refund their outstanding debt. In these transactions the issuers are issuing new bonds and taking the bond proceeds and redeeming (calling) old bonds. These refunding transactions have ranged from 40%-60% of total issuance over the past few years. Thus, the net issuance (all bonds issued less bonds redeemed) is actually much lower than the gross issuance. So, while gross issuance volume has been strong, the net has not, and this was an overall positive technical factor on municipal bond investment performance in recent years. Although the pace of refundings is slowing, net negative issuance is expected to continue.
Despite the volatility surrounding the potential tax law changes, demand remained robust and continued to outstrip supply. Low global interest rates have continued to drive investors toward higher after-tax yielding assets, including U.S. municipal bonds. As a result, municipal bond fund inflows steadily increased in 2017 overall.
How were the economic and market environments in New Jersey and Pennsylvania during the reporting period ended February 28, 2018?
New Jersey’s economic recovery from the recession continues to be slow. The state has several characteristics that position it to do quite well, such as its proximity to New York City’s extensive job market, a shoreline along the Atlantic coast that benefits from a strong tourism industry and two large transportation hubs in the Port of New York and New Jersey and Newark airport. However, for years following the recession, the state’s recovery fell short of many of its peers. New Jersey had the slowest job growth rate in the Northeast until the middle of 2015. In 2017, the construction, information and professional and business services sectors lost jobs, while a number of industries including health care, transportation, leisure and hospitality, and manufacturing reported job gains. As of February 2018, the state’s unemployment rate registered 4.6%, flat from a year prior, and higher than the national rate of 4.1%. Maintaining and upgrading infrastructure is key to economic growth. To address the dire need to finance infrastructure projects, the New Jersey legislature voted to raise the per-gallon tax on gas and diesel effective November 1, 2016. Prior to this, all revenues coming into the transportation trust fund were needed to cover debt service. While resources dedicated to transportation funding are set to increase, the state reduced its sales tax rate and phased out the estate tax, so general operating revenues are projected to decline. However, Governor Murphy’s proposed Fiscal Year 2019 budget restores the sales tax rate, institutes a millionaire’s tax, and counts on legalizing marijuana and closing loopholes in the corporate tax model to generate new revenues. The sluggishness of the state’s recovery exacerbated fiscal pressures caused by growing pension, health care and debt service payments. In the proposed Fiscal Year 2019 budget, expenditures on these three line items constitute 25% of expenses. The $3.2 billion pension payment in the Fiscal Year 2019 budget proposed by Governor Murphy funds only 60% of the actuarially recommended contribution. The state has been downgraded several times in recent years and now carries an A- rating by S&P, A3 by Moody’s and A by Fitch, all with stable outlooks. For the twelve months ending February 28, 2018, the state issued $11.8 billion in tax exempt debt, a gross issuance, year-over-year decrease of 9.1%.
Pennsylvania is the fifth-largest state by population and sixth-largest by gross state product. The commonwealth’s economy did well in 2017. Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate remained steady at 4.8% as of February 28, 2018. Job growth in Pennsylvania, at 1.5% year-over-year as of December 2017, was stronger than in other Northeast states. The slump in the mining sector that was brought on by low oil and gas prices is over. Large pipeline projects in development should bode well for the Pennsylvania economy in the near term. The education and health services sector represents 20.7% of total employment in the commonwealth. Job growth in this sector was a strong 3.3% in December 2017. On the fiscal front, Pennsylvania continues to have trouble balancing its general fund budget. Late budget passage has become an almost annual occurrence as the governor and the legislature cannot agree on basic budget fundamentals. Pennsylvania drew down all of its rainy day funds years ago and has failed to replenish those funds. The Fiscal Year 2018 budget was balanced with a number of one-time measures, including borrowing $2 billion from the state’s future tobacco

settlement revenues. Pennsylvania’s debt burden is considered moderate. The $17 billion of net tax-supported debt is equal to 2.7% of personal income, ranking Pennsylvania 22nd among the 50 states. The commonwealth’s pension liabilities are above average. The unfunded pension liability is estimated at more than $65 billion, split between the State Employees Retirement System and the Public School Employees Retirement System. As of February 2018, Pennsylvania’s general obligation (GO) debt was rated Aa3 by Moody’s and A+ by S&P. For the twelve months ended February 28, 2018, $19.6 billion in new municipal bonds were issued in the commonwealth, a gross issuance decrease of 9.4% from the previous twelve months.
What key strategies were used to manage these Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018?
Municipal bonds benefited from a generally favorable macroeconomic backdrop, despite the uncertainties surrounding the tax reform bill. Credit spreads narrowed, as sentiment improved after the fourth-quarter sell-off and municipal bond fund flows reversed from net negative to net positive. While yields on the short end of the yield curve moved higher with the Fed’s rate hikes, rates on the long end declined slightly amid low inflation, resulting in a flatter yield curve over this reporting period. New Jersey’s municipal market outperformed the national market, propelled by an upgraded outlook from S&P announced midway through the reporting period. Pennsylvania’s municipal market also outpaced the national market but by a much narrower margin than New Jersey’s.
We also note that New Jersey is among the states with the highest personal income and property taxes, which will be more meaningfully affected by the new limits on SALT deductions (as discussed in the market conditions section of this commentary). While individual taxpayers in New Jersey could see an increased tax burden, we also expect municipal bond demand to remain robust. Instate issues, which offer both state and federal tax advantages, are likely to be especially attractive to taxpayers in high income states. For state and local governments, the ability to raise taxes in the future may be more politically challenging. Bonds backed by tax revenues could face headwinds going forward, and state and local credit profiles could suffer if delays in tax increases hurt pension funding, capital investment or other government spending priorities.
Our trading activity continued to focus on pursuing the Funds’ investment objectives. We continued to seek bonds in areas of the market that we expected to perform well as the economy continued to improve. In this reporting period, we opportunistically sought to buy bonds offering better relative value and long-term total return potential. The Funds’ positioning emphasized intermediate and longer maturities, lower rated credits and sectors offering higher yields. Additionally, with both Pennsylvania and New Jersey facing ongoing fiscal challenges, we continued to limit exposure to state-supported obligations in all four Funds.
To fund these purchases, we reinvested the proceeds primarily from called and maturing bonds. We also selectively sold positions with short maturities such as pre-refunded bonds or positions that could be swapped for more attractive relative long-term opportunities. Some of these trades generated tax efficiencies, as the loss on the depreciated bonds we sold can be used to offset capital gains in the future. Additionally, we sought to diversify some of the call risk in NPN and NJV, which hold meaningful exposure to bonds with 2019 call dates. In fact, NJV had an elevated level of advance refundings in its portfolio in this reporting period. NPN and NJV were launched in 2009 when interest rates were higher. We should note these trades have had a negative impact on the two Funds’ earnings in the short term. To keep the Funds fully invested, the older bonds, which were issued when prevailing interest rates were higher, are being replaced with the lower-yielding bonds available in the current market.
As of February 28, 2018, all 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. As part of our duration management strategies, NQP and NXJ also invested in forward interest rates swaps to help reduce price volatility risk to movements in U.S. interest rates relative to the Funds’ benchmark. NQP added another swap position during the reporting period, which increased the amount of hedging. NXJ’s swap position rolled off during the reporting period, and the Fund did not hold any swaps as of the end of the reporting period. These swaps had a positive impact to the performance of NQP and a negligible impact to the performance of NXJ during this reporting period.
How did the Funds perform during the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018?
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, ten-year and since inception periods ended February 28, 2018. Each Fund’s total returns at common share net asset value (NAV) are compared with the performance of corresponding market indexes.
For the twelve-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total returns on common share NAV for these four Funds outperformed that of the national S&P Municipal Bond Index, NXJ and NQP beat their respective state’s S&P Municipal Bond Index, and NJV and NPN trailed their respective state’s S&P Municipal Bond Index.
The factors influencing the Funds’ performance during this reporting period included yield curve and duration positioning, credit rating allocations and sector allocations. The main positive contributor to the Funds’ relative performance was their longer yield curve and duration positioning. In this reporting period, longer duration bonds outperformed those with shorter durations, and all four Funds held overweight exposures to longer duration credits and underweight exposures to shorter duration credits. The Funds’ credit ratings allocations were also advantageous to relative performance. The Funds have continued to emphasize lower rated bonds over high grade bonds, which was favorable to performance as lower credit quality bonds (A rated and lower) performed better than higher quality (AAA and AA rated) bonds in this reporting period.
On a sector basis, the New Jersey Funds benefited from holdings in the health care sector, which included Kennedy Health System, Palisades Medical Center, RWJ Barnabas Health, Saint Joseph’s Healthcare, Cooper Health System and Hackensack Meridian Health, toll roads (including New Jersey Turnpike Authority and two bi-state agencies, Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge and Delaware River and Bay Authority), higher education (including Seton Hall University, New Jersey Institute of Technology and New Jersey City University), state- and state agency-backed, and tobacco settlement sectors. The Funds’ holdings in local GOs underperformed due to the sector’s higher credit ratings and lower yields. While the New Jersey Funds’ overweight allocation to pre-refunded bonds was an overall detractor from performance, some of the newly refunded bonds appreciated strongly, including a number of hospital bonds.
The Pennsylvania Funds saw gains concentrated in the health care, higher education, student housing, family housing, transportation (including Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge, which is also held in the New Jersey Funds), and water and sewer sectors. NPN also benefited from a District of Columbia tobacco securitization bond, which the Fund holds because Pennsylvania does not offer tobacco bonds. (NQP has no exposure to the tobacco sector.) The two Pennsylvania Funds continued to have exposure to FirstEnergy. The energy supplier had performed poorly earlier in 2017 amid credit concerns relating to its parent company’s plan to exit the power generation business, but the credit partially rebounded during the reporting period, which was positive for the Funds’ performance. However, performance was less favorable for NQP and NPN’s local GOs and pre-refunded bonds, due to the sectors’ higher credit ratings and lower yields.
In addition, the use of regulatory leverage was a factor affecting the performance of NXJ and NQP. NJV and NPN do not use regulatory leverage. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in the Fund Leverage section of this report.
An Update Involving Puerto Rico
As noted in the Funds’ previous shareholder reports, we continue to monitor situations in the broader municipal market for any impact on the Funds’ holdings and performance: Puerto Rico’s ongoing debt restructuring is one such case. Puerto Rico began warning investors in 2014 the island’s debt burden might prove to be unsustainable and the Commonwealth pursued various strategies to deal with this burden.
In June 2016, the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) was signed into law. The legislation established an independent Financial Oversight and Management Board (FOMB) charged with restructuring Puerto Rico’s financial operations and encouraging economic development. In May 2017, the oversight board initiated a bankruptcy-like process for the general government, general obligation debt, the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA), the Highways and Transportation Authority (HTA), and the Employee Retirement System. Officials have indicated more public corporations could follow.
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (continued)
In mid-September 2017, Puerto Rico was severely impacted by two hurricanes within the span of just two weeks causing massive damage across the island. The disruption in the local economy caused by the hurricanes and anticipated incoming federal aid created the need for revised fiscal plans for all Puerto Rican entities. These revised plans have not yet been approved by the Oversight Board. Importantly, federal resources dedicated to rebuilding and recovery efforts will not be available for bondholders in the revised fiscal plans. As of April 2018 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Puerto Rico has defaulted on many of its debt obligations, including General Obligation bonds.
In terms of Puerto Rico holdings, shareholders should note that, as of the end of this reporting period, NQP had limited exposure of 0.65%, which was either insured or investment grade, to Puerto Rico debt, while NXJ, NJV and NPN did not hold any Puerto Rico bonds. The Puerto Rico credits offered higher yields, added diversification and triple exemption (i.e., exemption from most federal, state and local taxes). Puerto Rico general obligation debt is currently in default and rated Caa3/D/D by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, with negative outlooks.
A Note About Investment Valuations
The municipal securities held by the Funds are valued by the Funds’ pricing service using a range of market-based inputs and assumptions. A different municipal pricing service might incorporate different assumptions and inputs into its valuation methodology, potentially resulting in different values for the same securities. Thus, the current net asset value of a Fund’s shares might be impacted, higher or lower, if the Fund were to use a different pricing service, or if its pricing service were to materially change its valuation methodology. On October 4, 2016, the Fund’s then-current municipal bond pricing service was acquired by the parent company of another pricing service, and the combination of the valuation methodologies used by the two organizations took place on October 16, 2017. The change of valuation methodologies due to that combination had little or no impact on the net asset value of each Fund’s shares.
Fund Leverage
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their comparative benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through their issuance of preferred shares and/or investments in inverse floating rate securities, which represent leveraged investments in underlying bonds. NJV and NPN do not use regulatory leverage. 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. The use of leverage through inverse floating rate securities contributed positively to the performance of the Funds over this reporting period. Regulatory leverage had a positive impact on the performance of NXJ and NQP over this reporting period.
As of February 28, 2018, the Funds’ percentages of leverage are as shown in the accompanying table.
| NXJ | NJV | NQP | NPN | ||||||||||
| Effective Leverage* | 39.17 | % | 9.48 | % | 40.56 | % | 4.44 | % | |||||
| Regulatory Leverage* | 32.44 | % | 0.00 | % | 35.42 | % | 0.00 | % |
| * | Effective Leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. A Fund, however, may from time to time borrow on a typically transient basis in connection with its day-to-day operations, primarily in connection with the need to settle portfolio trades. Such incidental borrowings are excluded from the calculation of a Fund’s effective leverage ratio. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |

| * | Distribution paid December 2017. |
| ** | 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 30.4% and 27.1% for New Jersey and Pennsylvania, respectively. When comparing a Fund to investments that generate qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower. |
Each Fund in this report seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a
Common Share Information (continued)
negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.
As of February 28, 2018, the Funds had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. NXJ, NJV and NPN had positive UNII balances while NQP had a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.
All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. For financial reporting purposes, the composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 — Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES
During August 2017, the Funds’ Board of Trustees reauthorized an open-market share repurchase program, allowing each Fund to repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding shares.
As of February 28, 2018, and since the inception of the Funds’ repurchase programs, the Funds have cumulatively repurchased and retired their outstanding common shares as shown in the accompanying table.

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.
Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund (NXJ)
Investing in closed-end funds involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Fund, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, derivatives risk, liquidity risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Leverage increases return volatility and magnifies the Fund’s potential return and its risks; there is no guarantee a fund’s leverage strategy will be successful. State concentration makes the Fund more susceptible to local adverse economic, political, or regulatory changes affecting municipal bond issuers. These and other risk considerations such as inverse floater risk and tax risk are described in more detail on the Fund’s web page at www.nuveen.com/NXJ.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund

Nuveen Pennsylvania Quality Municipal Income Fund
Nuveen Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund, Nuveen New Jersey Municipal Value Fund, Nuveen Pennsylvania Quality Municipal Income Fund, and Nuveen Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund (the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended, the ten-month period from May 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, and the year ended April 30, 2016, the statements of cash flows (where applicable) for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for the year then ended, for the ten-month period from May 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, and each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2016. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for the year then ended, the ten-month period from May 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, and the year ended April 30, 2016, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, the ten-month period from May 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017, and each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial highlights for the periods presented through April 30, 2014 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report dated June 25, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Notes to Financial Statements
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Fund Information
The 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 New Jersey Quality Municipal Income Fund (NXJ) | |
| • | Nuveen New Jersey Municipal Value Fund (NJV) | |
| • | Nuveen Pennsylvania Quality Municipal Income Fund (NQP) | |
| • | Nuveen Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund (NPN) |
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified (non-diversified for NJV) closed-end management investment companies. Common shares of NJV and NPN were formerly traded on the NYSE American. NXJ, NJV, NQP and NPN were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on June 1, 1999, January 26, 2009, December 20, 1990 and January 26, 2009, respectively.
The end of the reporting period for the Funds is February 28, 2018, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial is the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 (the “current fiscal period”).
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a subsidiary of Nuveen, LLC (“Nuveen”). Nuveen is the investment management arm of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA). The Adviser has overall responsibility for management of the Funds, oversees the management of the Funds’ portfolios, manages the Funds’ business affairs and provides certain clerical, bookkeeping and other administrative services, and if necessary asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.
Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.
As of the end of the reporting period, the following Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
| NQP | NPN | ||||||
| Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | $ | 842,243 | $ | 15,314 |
Investment Income
Investment income is comprised of interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, and is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and paydown gains and losses, if any. PIK interest represents income received in the form of securities in lieu of cash.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to common shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Compensation
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the current fiscal period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
| Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. | |
| Level 2 – | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). | |
| Level 3 – | Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Prices of fixed income securities are provided by an independent pricing service (“pricing service”) approved by the Board. The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs.
Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above and are generally classified as Level 2.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Board is responsible for the valuation process and has appointed the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the Funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the Funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
| (i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. | |
| (ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond (referred to as an “Underlying Bond”), typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose tender option bond (“TOB”) trust (referred to as the “TOB Trust”) created by or at the direction of one or more Funds. In turn, the TOB Trust issues (a) floating rate certificates (referred to as “Floaters”) in face amounts equal to some fraction of the Underlying Bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) an inverse floating rate certificate (referred to as an “Inverse Floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the TOB Trust. Floaters typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties who are also provided a right to tender their certificate and receive its par value, which may be paid from the proceeds of a remarketing of the Floaters, by a loan to the TOB Trust from a third party liquidity provider (“Liquidity Provider”), or by the sale of assets from the TOB Trust. The Inverse Floater is issued to a long term investor, such as one or more of the Funds. The income received by the Inverse Floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to holders of the Floaters, and in most circumstances the Inverse Floater holder bears substantially all of the Underlying Bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the Underlying Bond’s value. The value of an Inverse Floater will be more volatile than that of the Underlying Bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the Underlying Bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the Floaters, and because the Inverse Floater essentially bears the risk of loss (and possible gain) of the greater face value of the Underlying Bond.
The Inverse Floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right to (a) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their certificates at par (or slightly more than par in certain circumstances), and (b) have the trustee of the TOB Trust (the “Trustee”) transfer the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust.
The Fund may acquire an Inverse Floater in a transaction where it (a) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns to a TOB Trust created by a third party or (b) transfers an Underlying Bond that it owns, or that it has purchased in a secondary market transaction for the purpose of creating an Inverse Floater, to a TOB Trust created at its direction, and in return receives the Inverse Floater of the TOB Trust (referred to as a “self-deposited Inverse Floater”). A Fund may also purchase an Inverse Floater in a secondary market transaction from a third party creator of the TOB Trust without first owning the Underlying Bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited Inverse Floater”).
An investment in a self-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a “financing” transaction (i.e., a secured borrowing). For a self-deposited Inverse Floater, the Underlying Bond deposited into the TOB Trust is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund recognizing as liabilities, labeled “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, (a) the liquidation value of Floaters issued by the TOB Trust, and (b) the amount of any borrowings by the TOB Trust from a Liquidity Provider to enable the TOB Trust to purchase outstanding Floaters in lieu of a remarketing. In addition, the Fund recognizes in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the Underlying Bond, and recognizes (a) the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or on the TOB Trust’s borrowings, and (b) other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust, as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
In contrast, an investment in an externally-deposited Inverse Floater is accounted for as a purchase of the Inverse Floater and is identified in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” For an externally-deposited Inverse Floater, a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities recognizes the Inverse Floater and not the Underlying Bond as an asset, and the Fund does not recognize the Floaters, or any related
borrowings from a Liquidity Provider, as a liability. Additionally, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” only the net amount of earnings on the Inverse Floater (net of the interest paid to the holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider as lender, and the expenses of the Trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid or the expenses of the TOB Trust as described above as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Fees paid upon the creation of a TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters are recognized as part of the cost basis of the Inverse Floater and are capitalized over the term of the TOB Trust.
As of the end of the reporting period, the aggregate value of Floaters issued by each Fund’s TOB Trust for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:
| Floating Rate Obligations Outstanding | NXJ | NJV | NQP | NPN | |||||||||
| Floating rate obligations: self-deposited Inverse Floaters | $ | 9,005,000 | $ | 1,500,000 | $ | 47,825,000 | $ | 300,000 | |||||
| Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters | 98,058,000 | 962,000 | 26,500,000 | 540,000 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 107,063,000 | $ | 2,462,000 | $ | 74,325,000 | $ | 840,000 |
During the current fiscal period, the average amount of Floaters (including any borrowings from a Liquidity Provider) outstanding, and the average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited Inverse Floaters, were as follows:
| Self-Deposited Inverse Floaters | NXJ | NJV | NQP | NPN | |||||||||
| Average floating rate obligations outstanding | $ | 345,397 | $ | 1,500,000 | $ | 48,276,068 | $ | 300,000 | |||||
| Average annual interest rate and fees | 1.61 | % | 1.49 | % | 1.47 | % | 1.50 | % |
TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a Liquidity Provider pursuant to which the Liquidity Provider agrees, in the event that Floaters are (a) tendered to the Trustee for remarketing and the remarketing does not occur, or (b) subject to mandatory tender pursuant to the terms of the TOB Trust agreement, to either purchase Floaters or to provide the Trustee with an advance from a loan facility to fund the purchase of Floaters by the TOB Trust. In certain circumstances, the Liquidity Provider may otherwise elect to have the Trustee sell the Underlying Bond to retire the Floaters that were tendered and not remarketed prior to providing such a loan. In these circumstances, the Liquidity Provider remains obligated to provide a loan to the extent that the proceeds of the sale of the Underlying Bond is not sufficient to pay the purchase price of the Floaters.
The size of the commitment under the loan facility for a given TOB Trust is at least equal to the balance of that TOB Trust’s outstanding Floaters plus any accrued interest. In consideration of the loan facility, fee schedules are in place and are charged by the Liquidity Provider(s). Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased Floaters held by the TOB Trust. Interest paid on any outstanding loan balances will be effectively borne by the Fund that owns the Inverse Floaters of the TOB Trust that has incurred the borrowing and may be at a rate that is greater than the rate that would have been paid had the Floaters been successfully remarketed.
As described above, any amounts outstanding under a liquidity facility are recognized as a component of “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by the Fund holding the corresponding Inverse Floaters issued by the borrowing TOB Trust. As of the end of the reporting period, there were no loans outstanding under any such facility.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse arrangement”) (TOB Trusts involving such agreements are referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”), under which a Fund agrees to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for the Trust’s Floaters, in certain circumstances, for the amount (if any) by which the liquidation value of the Underlying Bond held by the TOB Trust may fall short of the sum of the liquidation value of the Floaters issued by the TOB Trust plus any amounts borrowed by the TOB Trust from the Liquidity Provider, plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on an Inverse Floater may increase beyond the value of the Inverse Floater as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the Floaters or the Liquidity Provider. Any such shortfall amount in the aggregate is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of the end of the reporting period, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the Floaters issued by Recourse Trusts for self-deposited Inverse Floaters and externally-deposited Inverse Floaters was as follows:
| Floating Rate Obligations — Recourse Trusts | NXJ | NJV | NQP | NPN | |||||||||
| Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: self-deposited Inverse Floaters | $ | 9,005,000 | $ | 1,500,000 | $ | 32,825,000 | $ | — | |||||
| Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts: externally-deposited Inverse Floaters | 89,393,000 | 962,000 | 11,955,000 | 400,000 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 98,398,000 | $ | 2,462,000 | $ | 44,780,000 | $ | 400,000 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Zero Coupon Securities
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
In addition to the inverse floating rate securities in which each Fund may invest, which are considered portfolio securities for financial reporting purposes, each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative investments such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund limits its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
Interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying a variable rate payment. Forward interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”).
The amount of the payment obligation for an interest rate swap is based is based on the notional amount and the termination date of the contract. Interest rate swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is to receive.
Interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap contract), the Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on the interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. For an over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap that is not cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Uncleared”), the amount recorded on these transactions is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps.”
Upon the execution of an OTC swap cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Cleared”), the Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as “initial margin,” into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash deposited by the Fund to cover initial margin requirements on open swap contracts, if any, is recognized as a component of “Cash collateral at brokers for investments in swaps” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in OTC Cleared swaps obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior day’s “mark-to-market” of the swap contract. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation, the clearing broker will credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the appreciation. Conversely, if the Fund has unrealized depreciation, the clearing broker will debit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin for OTC Cleared swaps is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upon the execution of an OTC Uncleared swap, neither the Fund nor the counterparty is required to deposit initial margin as the trades are recorded bilaterally between both parties to the swap contract, and the terms of the variation margin are subject to a predetermined threshold negotiated by the Fund and the counterparty. Variation margin for OTC Uncleared swaps is recognized as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps” as described in the preceding paragraph.
The net amount of periodic payments settled in cash are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of the swap contract. For tax purposes, payments expected to be received or paid on the swap contracts are treated as ordinary income or expense, respectively. Changes in the value of the swap contracts during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps” on the Statement of Operations. In certain instances, payments are made or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreements and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are recognized as “Interest rate swaps premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the current fiscal period, NXJ and NQP invested in forward interest rate swap contracts, reducing the Fund’s duration and limiting their vulnerability to rising rates.
The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:
| NXJ | NQP | ||||||
| Average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding* | $ | 15,450,000 | $ | 37,420,000 |

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.

Preferred Shares
Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
The following Fund has issued and has outstanding Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation preference per share. VMTP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available.
As of the end of the reporting period, VMTP Shares outstanding, at liquidation preference, for the Fund was as follows:
| Fund | Series | Shares Outstanding |
Liquidation Preference |
|||||||
| NQP | 2019 | 870 | $ | 87,000,000 |
The Fund is obligated to redeem its VMTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed by the Fund. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VMTP Shares may be redeemed at the option of the Fund, subject to payment of premium for approximately one year following the date of issuance (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at the redemption price per share thereafter. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Fund may be obligated to redeem a certain amount of the VMTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The Term Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for the Fund’s VMTP Shares are as follows:
| Fund | Series | Term Redemption Date |
Premium Expiration Date |
|||||||
| NQP | 2019 | September 1, 2019 | August 31, 2017 |
The average liquidation preference of VMTP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for the Fund during the current fiscal period were as follows:
| NQP | ||||
| Average liquidation preference of VMTP Shares outstanding | $ | 87,000,000 | ||
| Annualized dividend rate | 1.85 | % |
VMTP Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer, generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. VMTP Shares are short-term or short/intermediate-term instruments that pay a variable dividend rate tied to a short-term index, plus an additional fixed “spread” amount established at the time of issuance. The fair value of VMTP Shares is expected to be approximately their liquidation preference so long as the fixed “spread” on the VMTP Shares remains roughly in line with the “spread” being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Fund’s Adviser has determined that fair value of VMTP Shares is approximately their
liquidation preference, but their fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation preference of VMTP Shares is a liability and is recognized as a component of “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Dividends on the VMTP shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends accrued on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Costs incurred in connection with the Fund’s initial offering of VMTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charges, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred (“VMTP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and have outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation preference per share. VRDP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available.
As of the end of the reporting period, details of the Funds’ VRDP Shares outstanding were as follows:

VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom each Fund has contracted in the event that the VRDP Shares are not able to be successfully remarketed. Each Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Each Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of 0.10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. Each Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
All series of NXJ’s and NQP’s VRDP Shares are considered to be Special Rate Period VRDP, which are sold to institutional investors. During the special rate period, the VRDP Shares will not be remarketed by a remarketing agent, be subject to optional or mandatory tender events, or be supported by a liquidity provider. During the period, VRDP dividends will be set monthly as a floating rate based on the predetermined formula. Following the initial special rate period, Special Rate Period VRDP Shares will transition to traditional VRDP Shares with dividends set at weekly remarketings, and be supported by a designated liquidity provider, unless the Board approves a subsequent special rate period.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation preference. In the event that VRDP Shares are unable to be successfully remarketed, the dividend rate will be the maximum rate which is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of each Fund. Each Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
The average liquidation preference of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for each Fund during the current fiscal period were as follows:
| NXJ | NQP | ||||||
| Average liquidation preference of VRDP Shares outstanding | $ | 313,900,000 | $ | 217,500,000 | |||
| Annualized dividend rate | 1.67 | % | 1.68 | % |
For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation preference of VRDP Shares is a liability and is recognized as a component of “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of VRDP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as a component of “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, net of deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense, each Fund may also pay 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, when applicable.

6. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.
The tables below present the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each Fund’s investment portfolio, as determined on a federal income tax basis, as of February 28, 2018.
For purposes of this disclosure, derivative tax cost is generally the sum of any upfront fees or premiums exchanged and any amounts unrealized for income statement reporting but realized in income and/or capital gains for tax reporting. If a particular derivative category does not disclose any tax unrealized appreciation or depreciation, the change in value of those derivatives have generally been fully realized for tax purposes.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedules:
| NXJ | ||||
| NQP | ||||
| Average Daily Managed Assets* | Fund-Level Fee | |||
| For the first $125 million | 0.4500 | % | ||
| For the next $125 million | 0.4375 | |||
| For the next $250 million | 0.4250 | |||
| For the next $500 million | 0.4125 | |||
| For the next $1 billion | 0.4000 | |||
| For the next $3 billion | 0.3750 | |||
| For managed assets over $5 billion | 0.3625 |
| NJV | ||||
| NPN | ||||
| Average Daily Net Assets* | Fund-Level Fee | |||
| For the first $125 million | 0.4000 | % | ||
| For the next $125 million | 0.3875 | |||
| For the next $250 million | 0.3750 | |||
| For the next $500 million | 0.3625 | |||
| For the next $1 billion | 0.3500 | |||
| For the next $3 billion | 0.3250 | |||
| For managed assets over $5 billion | 0.3125 |
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated by multiplying the current complex-wide fee rate, determined according to the following schedule by the Fund’s daily managed assets (net assets for NJV and NPN):
| Complex-Level Eligible Asset Breakpoint Level* | Effective Complex-Level Fee Rate at Breakpoint Level | |||
| $55 billion | 0.2000 | % | ||
| $56 billion | 0.1996 | |||
| $57 billion | 0.1989 | |||
| $60 billion | 0.1961 | |||
| $63 billion | 0.1931 | |||
| $66 billion | 0.1900 | |||
| $71 billion | 0.1851 | |||
| $76 billion | 0.1806 | |||
| $80 billion | 0.1773 | |||
| $91 billion | 0.1691 | |||
| $125 billion | 0.1599 | |||
| $200 billion | 0.1505 | |||
| $250 billion | 0.1469 | |||
| $300 billion | 0.1445 |
| * | For the complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of a determined amount (originally $2 billion) added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of February 28, 2018, the complex-level fee for each Fund was 0.1595%. |
Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“inter-fund trade”) under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any inter-fund trade of securities by the
Fund from or to another fund that is, or could be, considered an affiliate of the Fund under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common officer and/or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each inter-fund trade is effected at the current market price as provided by an independent pricing service. Unsettled inter-fund trades as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as a component of “Receivable for investments sold” and/or “Payable for investments purchased” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not engage in inter-fund trades pursuant to these procedures.
8. Borrowing Arrangements
Uncommitted Line of Credit
During the current fiscal period, the Funds participated in an unsecured bank line of credit (“Unsecured Credit Line”) under which outstanding balances would bear interest at a variable rate. Although the Funds participated in the Unsecured Credit Line, they did not have any outstanding balances during the current fiscal period.
The Unsecured Credit Line was not renewed after its scheduled termination date on July 27, 2017.
Committed Line of Credit
The Funds, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser (“Participating Funds”), have established a 364-day, approximately $3 billion standby credit facility with a group of lenders, under which the Participating Funds may borrow for various purposes other than leveraging for investment purposes. A large portion of this facility’s capacity (and its associated costs as described below) is currently dedicated for use by a small number of Participating Funds, which does not include any of the Funds covered by this shareholder report. The remaining capacity under the facility (and the corresponding portion of the facility’s annual costs) is separately dedicated to most of the other open-end funds in the Nuveen fund family, along with a number of Nuveen closed-end funds, including all of the Funds covered by this shareholder report. The credit facility expires in July 2018 unless extended or renewed.
The credit facility has the following terms: a fee of 0.15% per annum on unused commitment amounts, and interest at a rate equal to the higher of (a) one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus 1.00% (1.25% prior to July 27, 2017) per annum or (b) the Fed Funds rate plus 1.00% (1.25% prior to July 27, 2017) per annum on amounts borrowed. Participating Funds paid administration, legal and arrangement fees, which are recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations, and along with commitment fees, have been allocated among such Participating Funds based upon the relative proportions of the facility’s aggregate capacity reserved for them and other factors deemed relevant by the Adviser and the Board of each Participating Fund.
During the current fiscal period, the following Funds utilized this facility. The Funds’ maximum outstanding balance during the utilization period was as follows:
| NXJ | NJV | NQP | NPN | ||||||||||
| Maximum outstanding balance | $ | 14,876,862 | $ | 222,534 | $ | 14,257,343 | $ | 484,810 |
During each Fund’s utilization period(s) during the current fiscal period, the average daily balance outstanding and average annual interest rate on the Borrowings were as follows:
| NXJ | NJV | NQP | NPN | ||||||||||
| Average daily balance outstanding | $ | 14,876,862 | $ | 222,534 | $ | 6,457,187 | $ | 484,410 | |||||
| Average annual interest rate | 2.56 | % | 2.56 | % | 2.56 | % | 2.56 | % |
Borrowings outstanding as of the end of the reporting period are recognized as “Borrowings” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, where applicable.
Inter-Fund Borrowing and Lending
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting registered open-end and closed-end Nuveen funds to participate in an inter-fund lending facility whereby the Nuveen funds may directly lend to and borrow money from each other for temporary purposes (e.g., to satisfy redemption requests or when a sale of securities “fails,” resulting in an unanticipated cash shortfall) (the “Inter-Fund Program”). The closed-end Nuveen funds, including the Funds covered by this shareholder report, will participate only as lenders, and not as borrowers, in the Inter-Fund Program because such closed-end funds rarely, if ever, need to borrow cash to meet redemptions. The Inter-Fund Program is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the requirements that (1) no fund may borrow or lend money through the Inter-Fund Program unless it receives a more favorable interest rate than is typically available from a bank or other financial institution for a comparable transaction; (2) no fund may borrow on an unsecured basis through the Inter-Fund Program unless the fund’s outstanding borrowings from all sources immediately after the inter-fund borrowing total 10% or less of its total assets; provided that if the borrowing fund has a secured borrowing outstanding from any other lender, including but not limited to another fund, the inter-fund loan must be secured on at least an equal
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
priority basis with at least an equivalent percentage of collateral to loan value; (3) if a fund’s total outstanding borrowings immediately after an inter-fund borrowing would be greater than 10% of its total assets, the fund may borrow through the inter-fund loan on a secured basis only; (4) no fund may lend money if the loan would cause its aggregate outstanding loans through the Inter-Fund Program to exceed 15% of its net assets at the time of the loan; (5) a fund’s inter-fund loans to any one fund shall not exceed 5% of the lending fund’s net assets; (6) the duration of inter-fund loans will be limited to the time required to receive payment for securities sold, but in no event more than seven days; and (7) each interfund loan may be called on one business day’s notice by a lending fund and may be repaid on any day by a borrowing fund. In addition, a Nuveen fund may participate in the Inter-Fund Program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the fund’s investment objective and investment policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Inter-Fund Program.
The limitations detailed above and the other conditions of the SEC exemptive order permitting the Inter-Fund Program are designed to minimize the risks associated with Inter-Fund Program for both the lending fund and the borrowing fund. However, no borrowing or lending activity is without risk. When a fund borrows money from another fund, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice or not renewed, in which case the fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher rate or take other actions to payoff such loan if an inter-fund loan is not available from another fund. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.
During May 2017, the Board approved the Nuveen funds participation in the Inter-Fund Program. During the current reporting period, none of the Funds have entered into any inter-fund loan activity.
9. New Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
The FASB has issued ASU 2017-08, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2017-08, if any.
FASB ASU 2016-18: Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”)

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (Unaudited)
| ■ | Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction. |
| ■ | Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. |
| ■ | Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. |
| ■ | Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see leverage) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. |
| ■ | Forward Interest Rate Swap: A contractual agreement between two counterparties under which one party agrees to make periodic payments to the other for an agreed period of time based on a fixed rate, while the other party agrees to make periodic payments based on a floating rate of interest based on an underlying index. Alternatively, both series of cashflows to be exchanged could be calculated using floating rates of interest but floating rates that are based upon different underlying indexes. |
| ■ | Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. |
| ■ | Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis. |
| ■ | Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. |
| ■ | Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding. |
| ■ | Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value. |
| ■ | 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 Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| ■ | S&P Municipal Bond New Jersey Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade New Jersey municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| ■ | S&P Municipal Bond Pennsylvania Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Pennsylvania municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| ■ | Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities. |
| ■ | Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically. |
Reinvest Automatically, Easily and Conveniently
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan
| Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. |
Easy and convenient
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
How shares are purchased
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
Flexible
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.
