to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Despite headwinds from slow growth, fiscal and political uncertainty in many countries and some fragile economies around the world, domestic and international equity markets increased significantly in 2013. The emerging markets equity sector was an exception. Other sectors, such as real estate, were flat to down a bit and commodities were notably negative in total return performance. The fixed income market also experienced losses in many sectors.
U.S. equities in particular hit numerous all-time highs during the past year, exceeding prior rising market trends. Europe and Asia struggled with political and financial stresses but Europes improving GDP in the second half provided hope that the region can exit recession. In Japan, the economic policies advocated by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe became a positive influence on the economy as deflationary pressures declined, while the economy in China started to stabilize due to monetary easing and supply side reforms. On the domestic front, the Federal Reserve stimulus continued throughout the year but discussion of reductions in the stimulus program caused historically low rates to rise and added to concern that interest rates could rise quickly in the near future. This provided challenges for fixed income investors.
The Federal Reserves decision to slow down its bond buying program beginning in January 2014, and the federal budget compromise over government spending into early 2015 were positive signs that the domestic economy is moving forward. We are beginning to experience an economy that can provide encouraging conditions for GDP growth, job growth and low inflation. Additionally, downward trending unemployment and a continuing rebound in the housing market adds to a positive economic scenario going forward.
However, the current year has experienced a tumultuous start. It is in these particularly volatile markets that professional investment management is most important. Investment teams who have experienced challenging markets in the past understand how their asset class can behave in rapidly changing times. Remaining committed to their investment disciplines during these times is a critical component to achieving long-term success. In fact, many strong investment track records are established during challenging periods because experienced investment teams understand that volatile markets place a premium on companies and investment ideas that can weather the short-term volatility. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.
As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board

Comments
This Portfolio was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts, the Portfolio is a specialized municipal bond portfolio to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Portfolio enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
The Portfolio is managed by Nuveen Asset Management LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Martin J. Doyle, CFA, has served as manager for the Portfolio since its inception in 2007. Here he discusses the Portfolios investment strategy and its performance over the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2014.
How did the Portfolio perform during the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2014?
The table in the Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide Class I Share total returns for the Portfolio for the six-month, one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2014. The Portfolios Class I Share total returns at net asset value (NAV) outperformed the Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index during the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2014.
What strategies were used to manage the Portfolio during the reporting period? How did these strategies influence performance?
The Portfolio uses a value-oriented strategy and looks for higher yielding and undervalued municipal bonds that offer the potential for above average total return. The Portfolio invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower) and unrated municipal securities. The Portfolio focuses on securities with intermediate to longer-term maturities.
Generally falling interest rates and tighter credit spreads were the primary contributors to the Portfolio outperforming the benchmark during the reporting period. The Portfolios diversified exposure across the credit and maturity spectrum included exposure to higher performing sectors of the municipal market. Specifically, longer dated maturities and lower investment grade rated securities outperformed the overall market and the Portfolio features above benchmark exposure to these sectors. Throughout the reporting period, we continued to increase our exposure to longer duration securities to capitalize on a comparatively steep yield curve and sought improved call protection to maintain the Portfolios income sustainability.
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Portfolio disclaims any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.
Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poors (S&P), Moodys Investors (Moodys) Service, Inc. or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch). Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.
Bond insurance guarantees only the payment of principal and interest on the bond when due, and not the value of the bonds themselves, which will fluctuate with the bond market and the financial success of the issuer and the insurer. Insurance relates specifically to the bonds in the portfolio and not to the share prices of a Fund. No representation is made as to the insurers ability to meet their commitments.

Portfolio Managers Comments (continued)
Further enhancing comparative returns was the Portfolios underweight to pre-refunded and AAA-rated bonds. As yields fall, these sectors offer less upside potential and typically underperform the broader market. In addition to the general market rally, a significant downshift in municipal new issuance combined with a slowdown and actual reversal of municipal fund outflows to technically prop up the market. The relative scarcity of available bonds and money coming back to the market have contributed to credit spreads narrowing, which has been advantageous for the Portfolio and its mix of rating category exposure.
During this reporting period, the Puerto Rico credit situations weighed on the municipal market. In 2012, Moodys downgraded Puerto Rico general obligation (GO) bonds to Baa3 from Baa1, Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA) senior sales tax revenue bonds to Aa3 from Aa2 and COFINA subordinate sales tax revenue bonds to A3 from A1. In October 2013, Moodys further downgraded the COFINA senior sales tax bonds to A2, while affirming the subordinate bonds at A3. On November 14, 2013, Fitch announced that it was placing the majority of Puerto Rico issuance, with the exception of the COFINA bonds, on negative credit watch, which implies that another downgrade may be likely. While Fitch currently rates Puerto Rico issuance at BBB-, it affirmed the ratings on COFINA bonds at AA- for the senior bonds and A+ for the subordinate bonds, with stable outlooks. On December 11, 2013, Moodys announced that it also had placed its Baa3 rating on Puerto Rico GOs (and other Puerto Rico issues linked to the GO rating) on review for downgrade. These downgrades were based on Puerto Ricos ongoing economic problems and, in the case of the COFINA bonds, the impact of these problems on the projected growth of sales tax revenues. However, the COFINA bonds were able to maintain a higher credit rating than the GOs because, unlike the revenue streams supporting some Puerto Rican issues, the sales taxes supporting the COFINA bonds cannot be diverted and used to support Puerto Ricos GO bonds. On February 4, 2014 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), S&P downgraded Puerto Ricos GO rating to BB+ with a negative credit watch due to the islands difficulty achieving affordable market access, heavy debt load, steadily declining economy and continued fiscal stress, namely chronic budget deficits and ever increasing costs related to the Commonwealths woefully underfunded pension plans. We believe the downgrade to below investment grade is, at this point, a symbolic act as the municipal market already priced Puerto Rican bonds at steep discounts to face value since mid-2013. The Portfolio held one Puerto Rico bond in the Portfolio at the beginning of the reporting period but was sold in September 2013.

Considerations and Dividend Information
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Portfolio, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, tax risk, political and economic risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Credit risk refers to an issuers ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. The Portfolios potential use of inverse floaters creates effective leverage. Leverage involves the risk that the Portfolio could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Portfolios exposure to volatility and interest rate risk.
Dividend Information
The Portfolio seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Portfolio. To permit the Portfolio to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Portfolio may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Portfolio during the period. If the Portfolio 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 Portfolios net asset value. Conversely, if the Portfolio has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Portfolios net asset value. The Portfolio will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of January 31, 2014, the Portfolio had a positive UNII balance, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.

and Effective Leverage Ratios
This is a specialized municipal bond Portfolio developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts.
Returns quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Some income may be subject to state and local income taxes and to the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, are subject to tax.
Returns may reflect a contractual agreement between the Portfolio and the investment adviser to waive certain fees and expenses; see Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates for more information. In addition, returns may reflect a voluntary expense limitation by the Portfolios investment adviser that may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. For the most recent month-end performance call (800) 257-8787.
Portfolio shares have no sales charge. Portfolio returns assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
The expense ratios shown reflect the Portfolios total operating expenses (before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) as shown in the Portfolios most recent prospectus.
Leverage is created whenever the Portfolio has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. The effective leverage ratio shown is the amount of investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.

Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of the Portfolios yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the portfolio of investments. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Portfolio may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.
The Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Portfolio on an after-tax basis at a specified tax rate. With respect to investments that generate qualified dividend income that is taxable at a maximum rate of 15%, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Portfolio expenses. The Example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the end of the period.
The information under Actual Performance, together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled Expenses Incurred During Period to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under Hypothetical Performance, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolios actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Trust Information
The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of the Municipal Total Return Managed Accounts Portfolio (the Fund), as a diversified fund, among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.
The Fund is developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Fund is a specialized municipal bond Fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen municipal separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
Investment Adviser
The Funds investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the Adviser), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (Nuveen). The Adviser is responsible for the Funds overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Investment Objective
The Funds primary investment objective is to seek attractive total return. The Fund also seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal personal income tax. These municipal bonds include obligations issued by U.S. states and their subdivisions, authorities, instrumentalities and corporations, as well as obligations issued by U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal personal income tax. The Fund may invest without limit in securities that generate income subject to the alternative minimum tax. The Fund will focus on securities with intermediate to longer term maturities and, as such, will generally maintain, under normal market conditions, an investment portfolio with an overall weighted average maturity of approximately 12 to 25 years.
The Fund invests in various types of municipal securities, including investment grade (rated BBB/Baa or better), below investment grade (rated BB/Ba or lower), and unrated municipal securities. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in below investment grade municipal bonds, but will normally invest 10-30% of its net assets in such bonds. Such securities are commonly referred to as high yield securities or junk bonds. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in defaulted bonds. The Fund may invest in all types of municipal bonds, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds and participation interests in municipal leases. The Fund may invest in zero coupon bonds, which are issued at substantial discounts from their value at maturity and pay no cash income to their holders until they mature. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in municipal securities whose interest payments vary inversely with changes in short-term tax-exempt interest rates ( inverse floaters ). Inverse floaters are derivative securities that provide leveraged exposure to underlying municipal bonds. The Funds investments in inverse floaters are designed to increase the Funds income and returns through this leveraged exposure. These investments are speculative, however, and also create the possibility that income and returns will be diminished.
The Fund may also make forward commitments in which the Fund agrees to buy a security for settlement in the future at a price agreed upon today.
The Funds most recent prospectus provides further description of the Funds investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 Fund has instructed the
36 | Nuveen Investments |
custodian to earmark securities in the Funds portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of January 31, 2014, the Fund had when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $2,392,974.
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Should the Fund receive a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as Legal fee refund on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends from its net investment income daily and pays shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the Funds transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Indemnifications
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Fund 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 the Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, the Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of January 31, 2014, the Fund was not invested in any portfolio securities or derivative instruments that are subject to netting agreements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation
Prices of municipal bonds are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. The pricing service establishes a securitys 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 obligors credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds Board of Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which
Nuveen Investments | 37 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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 Funds 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 securitys 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 obligors credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds Board of Trustees or its designee.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys 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 managements assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Funds fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Nuveen funds Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Advisers Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds pricing policies and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Advisers dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
(i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
(ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
38 | Nuveen Investments |
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 instruments current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bonds par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as the Fund) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an inverse floater) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bonds downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bonds value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
The inverse floater held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust.
The Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an externally-deposited inverse floater), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a self-deposited inverse floater). An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as (IF) Inverse floating rate investment. The Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities shows only the inverse floaters and not the underlying bonds as an asset, and does not reflect the short-term floating rate certificates as liabilities. Also, the Fund reflects in Investment Income only the net amount of earnings on its inverse floater investment (net of the interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates and the expenses of the trust), and does not show the amount of that interest paid as an interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as (UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction, with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust, at their liquidation value, as Floating rate obligations on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as Interest expense on floating rate obligations on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and self-deposited inverse floaters.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters for the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2014, were as follows:
Average floating rate obligations outstanding | $ | 2,560,000 | ||
Average annual interest rate and fees | 0.59 | % |
As of January 31, 2014, the total amount of floating rate obligations issued by the Funds self-deposited inverse floaters and externally-deposited inverse floaters were as follows:
Floating rate obligations: self-deposited inverse floaters | $ | 2,560,000 | ||
Floating rate obligations: externally-deposited inverse floaters | 34,465,000 | |||
Total | $ | 37,025,000 |
Nuveen Investments | 39 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
The Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a recourse trust or credit recovery swap) (such agreements referred to herein as Recourse Trusts) with a broker-dealer by which the Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, the Funds potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of the Funds inverse floater investments as the Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of January 31, 2014, the Funds maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was $31,635,000.
Zero Coupon Securities
The Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Investments in Derivatives
The Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. Although the Fund is authorized to invest in derivative instruments, and may do so in the future, if did not make any such investments during the six months ended January 31, 2014.

5. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales (including maturities but excluding short-term investments) during the six months ended January 31, 2014, aggregated $32,186,633 and $48,186,236, respectively.
6. Income Tax Information
The 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, the Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Fund are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund 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 Fund 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 NAV of the Fund.
40 | Nuveen Investments |
As of January 31, 2014, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 277,865,103 | ||
Gross unrealized: | ||||
Appreciation |
$ | 8,755,886 | ||
Depreciation |
(6,101,936 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 2,653,950 |
Permanent differences, primarily due to taxable market discount and distribution character reclassifications, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds components of net assets as of July 31, 2013, the Funds last tax year end, as follows:
Capital paid-in | $ | | ||
Undistributed (Over-distribution of) net investment income | (26,796 | ) | ||
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | 26,796 |
The tax components of undistributed net tax-exempt income, net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of July 31, 2013, the Funds last tax year end, were as follows:
Undistributed net tax-exempt income 1 | $ | 769,657 | ||
Undistributed net ordinary income 2 | 135,066 | |||
Undistributed net long-term capital gains | 1,878,881 |
1 | Undistributed net tax-exempt income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividends declared during the period July 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013, and paid on August 1, 2013. |
2 | Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains if any. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the Funds last tax year ended July 31, 2013, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:
Distributions from net tax-exempt income | $ | 12,595,500 | ||
Distributions from net ordinary income 2 | 670,463 | |||
Distributions from net long-term capital gains | 3,994,081 |
2 | Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. |
The Fund has elected to defer late-year losses in accordance with federal income tax rules. These losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year. The Fund has elected to defer losses as follows:
Post-October capital losses 3 | $ | 245,484 | ||
Late-year ordinary losses 4 | |
3 | Capital losses incurred from November 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013, the Fund's last tax year end. |
4 | Ordinary losses incurred from January 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013, and specified losses incurred from November 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013. |
7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Adviser does not charge any management fees or other expenses directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are compensated for their services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.

Used in this Report
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investments performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investments actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index: An unmanaged index composed of a broad range of investment-grade municipal bonds with maturity dates of approximately seven years. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bonds principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bonds or bond funds value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bonds or funds duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.
Effective Leverage (Effective Leverage Ratio): Effective leverage is investment exposure created either through borrowings or indirectly through inverse floaters, divided by the assets invested, including those assets that were purchased with the proceeds of the leverage, or referenced by the levered instrument.
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.
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 funds Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the funds (or share class) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Pre-Refundings: Pre-Refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is the funds assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds 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 trusts 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. Tax-exempt 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.

to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Despite headwinds from slow growth, fiscal and political uncertainty in many countries and some fragile economies around the world, domestic and international equity markets increased significantly in 2013. The emerging markets equity sector was an exception. Other sectors, such as real estate, were flat to down a bit and commodities were notably negative in total return performance. The fixed income market also experienced losses in many sectors.
U.S. equities in particular hit numerous all-time highs during the past year, exceeding prior rising market trends. Europe and Asia struggled with political and financial stresses but Europes improving GDP in the second half provided hope that the region can exit recession. In Japan, the economic policies advocated by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe became a positive influence on the economy as deflationary pressures declined, while the economy in China started to stabilize due to monetary easing and supply side reforms. On the domestic front, the Federal Reserve stimulus continued throughout the year but discussion of reductions in the stimulus program caused historically low rates to rise and added to concern that interest rates could rise quickly in the near future. This provided challenges for fixed income investors.
The Federal Reserves decision to slow down its bond buying program beginning in January 2014, and the federal budget compromise over government spending into early 2015 were positive signs that the domestic economy is moving forward. We are beginning to experience an economy that can provide encouraging conditions for GDP growth, job growth and low inflation. Additionally, downward trending unemployment and a continuing rebound in the housing market adds to a positive economic scenario going forward.
However, the current year has experienced a tumultuous start. It is in these particularly volatile markets that professional investment management is most important. Investment teams who have experienced challenging markets in the past understand how their asset class can behave in rapidly changing times. Remaining committed to their investment disciplines during these times is a critical component to achieving long-term success. In fact, many strong investment track records are established during challenging periods because experienced investment teams understand that volatile markets place a premium on companies and investment ideas that can weather the short-term volatility. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.
As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of the Nuveen Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
William J. Schneider
Chairman of the Board

The Portfolio was developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts, the Portfolio is a specialized fixed income portfolio to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Portfolio enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
The Portfolio is managed by Nuveen Asset Management LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Timothy Palmer, CFA, serves as manager for the Portfolio. Here Tim discusses the investment strategies and the performance of the Portfolio for the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2014.
How did the Portfolio perform during the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2014?
The table in the Performance and Expense Ratios section of this report provide Class I Share total returns for the Portfolio for the six-month, one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended January 31, 2014. The Portfolios Class I Share total returns at net asset value (NAV) outperformed the Barclays U.S. Credit/Mortgage Index during the six-month reporting period.
What strategies were used to manage the Portfolio during the reporting period? How did these strategies influence performance?
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. The Portfolio will invest in various types of debt securities, including U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency bonds, U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. high yield corporate debt securities, U.S. dollar denominated non-U.S. government bonds, non-U.S. dollar non-U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt and other short-term securities or instruments. In addition, the Portfolio may invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities (MBS), including U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities. The Portfolio may also engage in repurchase, reverse repurchase, dollar rolls and forward purchase agreements (these investments will be generally short-term in nature and are primarily used to seek to enhance total return and manage liquidity).
In managing the Portfolio, we seek to maximize risk-adjusted total return through active management of sector rotation, issue selection, and yield curve positioning. We employ a sector team based process to identify and implement investment opportunities based on rigorous analysis of fixed income markets. The Portfolio invests broadly across sectors, including traditional investment-grade bonds, high yield securities, foreign currencies and bonds.

The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Portfolio disclaims any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein.
Ratings shown are the highest rating given by one of the following national rating agencies: Standard & Poors (S&P), Moodys Investors Service (Moodys), Inc. or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch). Credit ratings are subject to change. AAA, AA, A and BBB are investment grade ratings; BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D are below investment grade ratings. Certain bonds backed by U.S. Government or agency securities are regarded as having an implied rating equal to the rating of such securities. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by these national rating agencies.

Portfolio Managers Comments (continued)
Following a sell-off in the second quarter of 2013, spread sectors outperformed during the reporting period. The high yield sector was the top performing area, benefiting from strong fundamentals and continued forward guidance from the Federal Reserve (Fed) regarding its monetary policies, despite an announced reduction in asset purchases. Investment grade credit spreads contracted during the reporting period and ended 2013 at levels not seen since before the financial crisis. Buoyed by strong credit fundamentals, financials outperformed with their spreads moving inside of industrials for the first time since 2007. This spread narrowing is due to lower overall risk in the global financial system, coupled with higher capital levels and improving asset quality at the banks. All segments of the securitized market posted returns in excess of Treasuries, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Stronger economic data resulted in a better bid for these risk assets and credit fundamentals continued to improve, owing to a recovery in the commercial and residential real estate markets. In the agency MBS sector, origination was light, while Fed buying again provided technical support. The U.S. dollar underperformed European currencies amid economic improvements in Europe, outperformed most other currencies, and also outperformed most emerging market currencies, as market concerns about reduced global liquidity persisted in pressing emerging markets.
The Portfolio experienced strong results during the reporting period, benefiting from nearly all of its strategic investment themes. The improvement in credit spreads and the strong performance of high yield credit were two key drivers of our Portfolios outperformance for the reporting period, given our ongoing substantial weights to corporate bonds and other non-government sectors. The Portfolio was overweight credit versus mortgages and maintained little or no exposure to the Treasury and agency segments. Our positioning in high yield corporate bonds was the largest positive contributor to performance, including our overweight to the sector as well as issue selection and tactical repositioning during the reporting period.
Credit selection within investment grade corporate bonds was the next largest contributor, notably the Portfolios focus on the financial, energy and metals/mining sectors. A substantial overweight to investment grade credit also aided performance. Additionally, the Portfolio benefited from downward bias in credit quality within the investment grade sector, emphasizing BBB-rated corporate bonds, which outperformed higher rated investment grade securities.
The Portfolios defensive interest rate positioning, with a duration that was significantly less than the index during the reporting period, was marginally beneficial to performance as interest rates rose slightly. Foreign currency exposure detracted from investment performance given the general improvement in the U.S. dollar vs. emerging and smaller developed country currencies.
Within the securitized areas of the market, the Portfolios small exposures to CMBS and ABS had only a marginally positive impact on performance over the reporting period. The Portfolios underweight to MBS detracted from performance relative to the index, however, the positions we owned in the credit sectors performed better than mortgages.
Our constructive view of the economy continued to unfold during the reporting period and U.S. fiscal uncertainties moderated, supporting our themes. As a result, our positioning in favor of credit sectors with a corresponding underweight to mortgage and government securities and a defensive interest rate posture remained our key themes. We also retained our industry focus on financials as well as cyclically sensitive industries within corporate bonds. Portfolio activity was centered on bottom-up credit and issue selection, as well as timely deployment of cash as market opportunities arose. Within the high yield sector, this rotation also involved a small move from BB-rated to B-rated issues, in light of our credit outlook. We also actively repositioned currency exposure, both the levels and selections, given significant valuation swings in the market and ongoing fundamental developments.

Investments in Derivatives
During the reporting period, we continued to invest in derivative instruments. We used Treasury note and bond futures as part of an overall construction strategy to manage the Portfolios duration and yield curve exposure. To decrease the duration of the portfolio, we acquired short Treasury bond or Treasury note futures positions. The effect of these activities on performance was modestly negative during the reporting period.
We used foreign exchange forwards to manage the Portfolios foreign currency exposure. For example, the Portfolio may reduce unwanted currency exposure from the portfolio, or may take long or short forward positions in select currencies in an attempt to benefit from the potential price change. These positions had a negative impact on performance during the reporting period.
We used credit default swaps to manage exposure to a broad segment of the credit markets, or to express a view on credit as part of an overall portfolio sector management strategy. These swap positions contributed to performance during the reporting period.

Considerations and Dividend Information
Risk Considerations
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Debt or fixed income securities such as those held by the Portfolio, are subject to market risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, call risk, and income risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Below investment grade or high yield debt securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. Foreign investments involve additional risks, including currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Asset-backed and mortgage backed securities are subject to additional risks such as prepayment risk, liquidity risk, default risk and adverse economic developments. The use of derivative instruments involves a high degree of financial risk, including the risk that the loss on a derivative may be greater than the principal amount invested.
Dividend Information
The Portfolio seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Portfolio. To permit the Portfolio to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Portfolio may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Portfolio during the period. If the Portfolio 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 Portfolios net asset value. Conversely, if the Portfolio has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Portfolios net asset value. The Portfolio will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of January 31, 2014, the Portfolio had a positive UNII balance based on our best estimate, for tax purposes, and a negative UNII balance for financial reporting purposes.

Dividend Yield is the most recent dividend per share (annualized) divided by the offering price per share.
The SEC 30-Day Yield is a standardized measure of the Portfolios yield that accounts for the future amortization of premiums or discounts of bonds held in the portfolio of investments. The SEC 30-Day Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula and is based on the maximum offer price per share. Dividend Yield may differ from the SEC 30-Day Yield because the Portfolio may be paying out more or less than it is earning and it may not include the effect of amortization of bond premium.

Example
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including up-front and back-end sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, where applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees, where applicable; and other Portfolio expenses. The Example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the end of the period.
The information under Actual Performance, together with the amount you invested, allows you to estimate actual expenses incurred over the reporting period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the cost shown for your share class, in the row entitled Expenses Incurred During Period to estimate the expenses incurred on your account during this period.
The information under Hypothetical Performance, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolios actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolios actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expense you incurred for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds or share classes. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(6) | Other Assets Less Liabilities includes the Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of certain derivative instruments as listed within Investments in Derivatives as of the end of the reporting period. |
(7) | The Fund entered into the credit default swaps to gain investment exposure to the referenced entity. Selling protection has a similar credit risk position to owning the referenced entity. Buying protection has a similar credit risk position to selling the referenced entity short. |
(8) | The credit spread generally serves as an indication of the current status of the payment/performance risk and therefore the likelihood of default of the credit derivative. The credit spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a credit default swap contract. Higher credit spreads are indicative of higher likelihood of performance by the seller of protection. |

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
Trust information
The Nuveen Managed Accounts Portfolios Trust (the Trust) is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of Enhanced Multi-Strategy Income Managed Accounts Portfolio (the Fund), as a diversified fund, among others. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November 14, 2006.
The Fund is developed exclusively for use within Nuveen-sponsored separately managed accounts. The Fund is a specialized Fund to be used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund enables certain Nuveen separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification and return potential than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve by using lower quality, higher yielding securities and to gain access to special investment opportunities normally available only to institutional investors.
Investment Adviser
The Funds investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the Adviser), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (Nuveen). The Adviser is responsible for the Funds overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, (the Sub-Adviser), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolio of the Fund.
Investment Objective
The Funds primary investment objective is total return, with current income as a secondary objective. Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities. The Fund will invest in various types of debt securities, including U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency bonds, U.S. investment grade corporate debt securities, U.S. high yield corporate debt securities, U.S. dollar-denominated non-U.S. government bonds, non-U.S. dollar non-U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt, and other short-term securities. In addition, the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities, including U.S. agency mortgage backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also engage in repurchase, reverse repurchase, dollar rolls and forward purchase agreements (these investments will generally be short-term in nature and are primarily used to seek to enhance total return and manage liquidity).
The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities that are rated below investment grade or securities that are unrated but deemed by the Sub-Adviser to be of equivalent quality. Such securities are commonly referred to as high-yield securities or junk bonds; which includes U.S. and non-U.S. high yield corporate bonds and securities. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in the debt of non-U.S. issuers, including up to 25% of its net assets in obligations of non-U.S. entities that are located in emerging markets.
Under normal market conditions, the Sub-Adviser expects the Fund to maintain an intermediate term average duration, which will generally fall within four to seven years.
The Fund may utilize the following derivatives: options; futures contracts; options on futures contracts; interest rate caps, collars, and floors; foreign currency contracts; options on foreign currencies; swap agreements, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps; and options on swap agreements. The Fund may use these derivatives in an attempt to manage market risk, currency risk, credit risk and yield curve risk, to manage the effective maturity or duration of securities in the Fund or for speculative purposes in an effort to increase the Funds yield or to enhance returns. The Fund may also use derivatives to gain exposure to non-dollar denominated securities markets to the extent it does not do so through direct investments. The use of a derivative is speculative if the Fund is primarily seeking to enhance returns, rather than offset the risk of other positions.
The Funds most recent prospectus provides further description of the Funds investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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
26 | Nuveen Investments |
may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Fund has instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of January 31, 2014, the Funds outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | $1,184,547 |
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Should the Fund receive a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as Legal fee refund on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays shareholders monthly. Fund shares begin to accrue dividends on the business day after the day when the monies used to purchase Fund shares are collected by the Funds transfer agent.
Net realized capital gains from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to shareholders 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.
Indemnifications
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into transactions subject to enforceable master repurchase agreements, International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (netting agreements). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, the Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of January 31, 2014, the Fund did not invest in any portfolio securities or derivatives, other than repurchase agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts further described in Note 3 Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives that are subject to netting agreements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation
Prices of fixed-income securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap contracts are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. The pricing service establishes a securitys 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 obligors credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities,
Nuveen Investments | 27 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.
Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of such a price, the last traded price and are generally classified as Level 1.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Funds shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If significant market events occur between the time of determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Funds NAV is determined, or if under the Funds procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, the security would be valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Funds Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds Board of Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of the Funds 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 securitys 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 obligors credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds Board of Trustees or its designee.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entitys 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 managements assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
28 | Nuveen Investments |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Funds fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Nuveen funds Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Advisers Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds pricing policies and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Advisers dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
(i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
(ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instruments current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Dollar Roll Transactions
The Fund is authorized to enter into dollar roll transactions (dollar rolls) in which the Fund purchases or sells mortgage-backed securities (MBS) for delivery in the future and simultaneously contracts to sell or repurchase a substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) MBS on a different specified future date. Dollar rolls are identified in the Portfolio of Investments as MDR, when applicable. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the MBS. The Fund is compensated by fee income or the difference between the current sales price and the lower forward price for the future purchase. Such compensation is amortized over the life of the dollar rolls, which is recognized as a component of Investment income on the Statement of Operations. Dollar rolls are valued daily.
Nuveen Investments | 29 |
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the MBS the Fund is obligated to repurchase under an agreement may decline below the repurchase price. These transactions also involve some risk to the Fund if the other party should default on its obligation and the Fund is delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. In the event that the buyer of securities under a dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of proceeds of the dollar roll may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities.
Foreign Currency Transactions
To the extent that the Fund invests in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Fund will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investment transactions, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received.
The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options written, swaps, and swaptions written are recognized as a component of Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments are recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options written, swaps and swaptions written are recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (deprecation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts, options written, swaps and swaptions written, respectively, on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.
Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.
The following table presents the repurchase agreements for the Fund that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.

* | As of January 31, 2014, the value of the collateral pledged from the counterparty exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements. Refer to the Funds Portfolio of Investments for details on the repurchase agreements. |
Zero Coupon Securities
The Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
30 | Nuveen Investments |
Investments in Derivatives
The Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments. The Fund records 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.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (forward contracts) under two circumstances: (i) when the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency to lock in the U.S. exchange rate of the transaction, with such period being a short-dated contract covering the period between transaction date and settlement date or (ii) when the Sub-Adviser believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may experience a substantial movement against the U.S. dollar or against another foreign currency.
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specified quantity of a currency at or before a specified date in the future at a specified price. Forward contracts are typically traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) markets and all details of the contract are negotiated between the counterparties to the agreement. Accordingly, the forward contracts are valued by reference to the contracts traded in the OTC markets. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller may generally be satisfied by taking or making physical delivery of the underlying currency, establishing an opposite position in the contract and recognizing the profit or loss on both positions simultaneously on the delivery date or, in some instances, paying a cash settlement before the designated date of delivery.
Forward contracts are valued daily at the forward rate. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized as a component of Unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, (net) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the forward contracts during the reporting period is recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund recognizes the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered and the value at the time it was closed or offset as a component of Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts on the Statement of Operations.
Forward contracts will generally not be entered into for terms greater than three months, but may have maturities of up to six months or more. The use of forward contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Funds investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward contracts are subject to counterparty risk if the counterparty fails to perform as specified in the contract due to financial impairment or other reason.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the Fund was invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage foreign currency exposure. For example, the Fund may reduce unwanted currency exposure from the Funds bond portfolio, or may take long or short forward positions in select currencies in an attempt to benefit from the potential price change.
The average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2014, was as follows:
Average notional amount of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding* | $ | 493,315 |
* | The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |

Futures Contracts
Upon execution of a futures contract, 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 held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as Cash collateral at brokers for open futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in futures contracts obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days mark-to-market of the open contracts. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Funds account with an amount equal to appreciation and conversely if the Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit the Funds account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as variation margin. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for Variation margin on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by marking-to-market on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into, which is recognized as a component of Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the Fund used Treasury note and bond futures as part of an overall portfolio construction strategy to manage portfolio duration and yield curve exposure. For example, to decrease the duration of the Funds portfolio, a short Treasury bond or Treasury note futures position would be acquired.
The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2014, was as follows:
Average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding* | $ | 483,661 |
* | The average notional amount is calculated based on the absolute aggregate notional amount of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |

Credit Default Swaps
The Fund may enter into a credit default swap contract to seek to maintain a total return on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuers default. Credit default swap contracts involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if/ when there is a credit event by a third party. Generally, a credit event means bankruptcy, failure to pay, or restructuring. The specific credit events applicable for each credit default swap are stated in the terms of the particular swap agreement. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund pays to the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap.
Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund is obligated to deliver that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, to the counterparty in exchange for receipt of the notional amount from the counterparty. The difference between the value of the security delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as a component of Credit default swaps premiums paid and/or received on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. As a seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund generally receives from the counterparty a periodic interest fee based on the notional amount of the credit default swap. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either receive that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or pay a net settlement amount of the credit default swap contract less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The difference between the value of the security received and the notional amount paid is recorded as a realized loss.
Changes in the value of a credit default swap during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps, and realized gains and losses are recognized as a component of Net realized gain (loss) from swaps on the Statement of Operations. Investments in swaps cleared through an exchange obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior days mark-to-market of the swap. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Funds account with an amount equal to appreciation and conversely if the Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit the Funds account with an amount equal to depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as variation margin. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for Variation margin on credit default swaps on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a seller of protection in a credit default swap contract is limited to the notional amount of the contract. The maximum potential amount would be offset by the recovery value, if any, of the respective referenced entity.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the Fund used credit default swaps to manage exposure to a broad segment of the credit markets, or to express a view on credit as part of an overall portfolio sector management strategy.
The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended January 31, 2014, was as follows:
Average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding* | $ | 1,800,000 |
* | The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business the 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 the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of the Funds exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The 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 the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Fund as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

6. Income Tax Information
The 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.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Fund 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 Fund 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 the treatment of foreign currency transaction gains and losses, amortization of premium and timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. 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 NAV of the Fund.
As of January 31, 2014, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Cost of investments | $ | 6,407,464 | ||
Gross unrealized: | ||||
Appreciation |
$ | 238,634 | ||
Depreciation |
(89,097 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 149,537 |
Permanent differences, primarily due to federal taxes paid, notional principal contracts, foreign currency reclassifications, bond premium amortization adjustments and paydown adjustments, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds components of net assets as of July 31, 2013, the Funds last tax year end, as follows:
Capital paid-in | $ | (1,804 | ) | |
Undistributed (Overdistribution of) net investment income | 156,399 | |||
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | (154,595 | ) |
The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains as of July 31, 2013, the Funds last tax year end, were as follows:
Undistributed net ordinary income 1 | $ | 103,638 | ||
Undistributed net long-term capital gains | |
1 | Undistributed net ordinary income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared during the period July 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013 and paid on August 1, 2013. Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the Funds last tax year ended July 31, 2013, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:
Distributions from net ordinary income 2 | $ | 408,617 | ||
Distributions from net long-term capital gains | 16,725 |
2 | Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. |
During the Funds last tax year ended July 31, 2013, there were no capital losses generated.
7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Adviser does not charge any management fees or other expenses directly to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed irrevocably during the existence of the Fund to waive all fees and pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of investment portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses). The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are compensated for their services to the Fund from the fee charged at the separately managed account level.
As of January 31, 2014, Nuveen owned all shares of the Fund.

Used in this Report
Asset-Backed securities (ABS): Securities whose value and income payments are derived from and collateralized by a specific pool of underlying assets. The pool of assets typically is a group of small and/or illiquid assets that may be difficult to sell individually. The underlying pools of asset-backed securities often include payments from credit cards, auto loans or mortgage loans.
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investments performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investments actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
Barclays U.S. Credit/Mortgage Index: A market-weighted blend of the Barclays U.S. Credit Index and the Barclays Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) Index. The Barclays U.S. Credit Index includes both corporate and non-corporate sectors. The corporate sectors are industrial, utility, and finance, which include both U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. The non-corporate sectors are sovereign, supranational, foreign agency, and foreign local government. The Barclays MBS Index is a market value-weighted index which covers the mortgage-backed securities component of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The index is composed of agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities of the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) with a minimum $150 million par amount outstanding and a weighted-average maturity of at least 1 year. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS): Commercial mortgage-backed securities are backed by cash flows of a mortgage or pool of mortgages on commercial real estate. CMBS generally are structured to provide protection to the senior class investors against potential losses on the underlying mortgage loans. CMBS are typically characterized by the following: i) loans on multi-family housing, non-residential property, ii) payments based on the amortization schedule of 25-30 years with a balloon payment due usually after 10 years, and iii) restrictions on prepayments.
Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bonds principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bonds or bond funds value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bonds or funds duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change.
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.
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS): Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are bonds backed by pools of mortgages, usually with similar characteristics, and which return principal and interest in each payment. MBS are composed of residential mortgages (RMBS) or commercial mortgages (CMBS). RMBS are further divided into agency RMBS and non-agency RMBS, depending on the issuer.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A funds Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash and accrued earnings) less its total liabilities. For funds with multiple classes, Net Assets are determined separately for each share class. NAV per share is equal to the funds (or share class) Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.
