Chairman’s Letter

to Shareholders

LOGO

Dear Shareholders,

For better or for worse, the financial markets spent most of the past year waiting for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to end its accommodative monetary policy. The policy has propped up stock and bond markets since the Great Recession, but the question remains: how will markets behave without its influence? This uncertainty was a considerable source of volatility for stock and bond prices for much of 2015, despite the Fed carefully conveying its intention to raise rates slowly and only when the economy shows evidence of readiness.

As was widely expected, the long-awaited Fed rate hike materialized in mid-December. While the move was interpreted as a vote of confidence on the U.S. economy’s underlying strength, the Fed emphasized that future rate increases will be gradual and guided by its ongoing assessment of financial conditions. Headwinds including rising borrowing costs, softer commodity prices, low inflation, a strong U.S. dollar and a stagnant global economy could necessitate keeping monetary conditions accommodative for longer. Meanwhile, policy makers in Europe and Japan are deploying their available tools to try to bolster their economies’ fragile growth, while Chinese authorities have stepped up efforts to manage China’s slowdown.

Although the new year began with a more pessimistic tone to investor sentiment and elevated volatility in the markets, we caution investors from making long-term decisions based on short-term news. In times like these, you can look to a professional investment manager with the experience and discipline to maintain the proper perspective on short-term events. And if the daily headlines do concern you, I encourage you to reach out to your financial advisor. Your financial advisor can help you evaluate your investment strategies in light of current events, your time horizon and risk tolerance.

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

Nuveen Senior Income Fund (NSL)

Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund (JFR)

Nuveen Floating Rate Income Opportunity Fund (JRO)

Nuveen Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund (JSD)

Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund (JQC)

The Funds’ investment portfolios are managed by Symphony Asset Management, LLC (Symphony), an affiliate of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Gunther Stein, who serves as the firm’s Chief Investment Officer and Chief Executive Officer, and Scott Caraher manage NSL, JFR and JRO. Gunther and Sutanto Widjaja manage JQC, while JSD is managed by Gunther, Scott and Jenny Rhee.

Effective September 30, 2015, NSL, JFR, JRO, JSD and JQC can invest up to 5% in iBOXX Loan Total Return Swaps. For NSL, JFR and JRO, investment in iBOXX Loan Total Return Swaps counted for the purpose of meeting the minimum 80% loan tests beginning after November 30, 2015.

On October 18, 2015, the Board of Trustees of JSD approved a policy change regarding the Fund’s use of leverage. The new policy permits the Fund to use leverage to the extent permissible under the 1940 Act, which currently permits leverage in an amount up to 50% of the Fund’s managed assets. The Board of Trustees also authorized the Fund to incur additional leverage that would increase the Fund’s effective leverage ratio.

Here the team discusses their management strategies and the performance of the Funds for the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2016.

What strategies were used to manage the Funds during the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2016?

NSL, JFR and JRO have similar investment objectives and strategies. Each Fund is designed to seek a high level of current income by primarily investing in a portfolio of adjustable rate, senior secured corporate loans. The Funds also may invest in unsecured senior loans, other debt securities, equity securities and warrants acquired in connection with an investment in senior loans. A significant portion of each Fund’s assets may be invested in instruments that, at the time of investment, are rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged by Symphony to be of comparable quality to below investment grade.

JSD seeks to provide current income and the potential for capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in a blended portfolio of below investment grade adjustable rate corporate debt instruments, including senior secured loans, second

The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio managers 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 Funds disclaim 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 & Poor’s (S&P), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) 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.

lien loans and other adjustable rate corporate debt instruments. The Fund may also make limited tactical investments in other types of debt instruments and may enter into tactical short positions consisting of primarily high yield debt. Under normal market conditions the Fund maintains a portfolio with an average duration that does not exceed two years.

JQC invests at least 70% of its assets in senior secured and second lien loans, and up to 30% of its assets opportunistically over the credit cycle in other types of securities across a company’s capital structure. These other securities primarily include income-oriented securities such as high yield corporate and convertible bonds as well as common stocks. The Fund maintained exposure to senior loans during the reporting period, while tactically allocating between high yield corporate bonds, equity securities and convertible bonds. Exposure consisted of mainly U.S. issuers, and was focused on companies that, in general, had high levels of tangible assets, predictable revenue streams, significant market share within their respective industries and positive free cash flow.

How did the Funds perform during this six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2016?

The tables in the Performance Overview and Holding Summaries section of this report provide total return performance for each Fund for the six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year and/or since inception periods ended January 31, 2016. Each Fund’s total return at net asset value (NAV) is compared with the performance of a corresponding market index. For the six-month reporting period ended January 31, 2016 NSL, JFR, JRO, JSD and JQC underperformed the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index.

Highest rated within the capital structure, loan markets posted negative returns for the reporting period, yet handily outpaced their high yield bond counterparts. In the second half of the reporting period, the loan market was characterized by persistent weakness that escalated. Although to a lesser degree than high yield, the loan market traded off largely due to technical factors and in concert with general risk aversion across the broad capital markets. While overall loan mutual fund flows continued to be negative, institutional loan demand driven by collateralized loan obligation (CLO) issuance more than offset retail outflows. This institutional demand provided support to the loan market, allowing it in large part to avoid the downward cycle experienced in lower quality risk assets. By rating, better rated split BBB and BBB names were the top performers while split B/CCC and non-rated names lagged. The broad leveraged loan market, as represented by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, produced negative returns of 3.95% for the reporting period. Issuance during the reporting period was driven primarily by acquisition and refinancing related activity as re-pricings have remained subdued. The par-weighted U.S. default rate remained well below the long-term average default rate.

Across all five Funds, our top and bottom performing individual security positions and industry groups were relatively similar. As a result, for NSL, JFR, JRO, JSD and JQC, the computers & peripherals, food & staples retailing and airline industry groups contributed positively to absolute performance. However, these could not offset the Funds’ exposures to the media, oil, gas & consumable fuels and diversified telecommunication industry groups, which contributed to the Funds’ underperformance.

In the food & staples retailing industry, the loans of Albertson’s LLC and US Foods, Inc. continued to benefit performance. In our opinion, this industry has historically been more defensive during periods of volatility. We believe these loans offer an attractive coupon relative to the rest of the industry and broad market. Both the industry and the companies performed well during the reporting period. In addition, Millennium Laboratories, Inc. rebounded during the reporting period. The loans traded up as the company prepared to exit bankruptcy at the end of December.

Specific holdings that detracted from performance included the diversified media and entertainment company bonds of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. The loans and bonds were impacted as riskier assets experienced a sell-off during the second half of the reporting period. Also detracting from performance were the loans of Drill Rigs Holdings Inc., which sold off as oil prices continued to fall during the reporting period impacting energy-related companies. Lastly Avaya, Inc. detracted from performance.

Despite overall risk aversion spreading into the credits markets, in our view, loans continue to be a compelling investment opportunity given their seniority in the capital structure and to a lesser extent, duration profile and overall lower sensitivity to Treasury rate volatility. We continue to believe that in the face of rising volatility around geopolitical risks and the Fed raising interest rates, that loans are positioned to perform well relative to other asset classes. We also feel the market volatility experienced in the wake of the global macro related issues, as opposed to underlying deterioration of credits in the names we hold, will continue in the near term and presents our strategies with compelling new investment opportunities.

In addition, the use of regulatory leverage was a factor affecting the performance of these Funds. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in the Fund Leverage section of this report.

For JSD we also continued to invest in credit default swaps, which were used to provide a benefit if particular bonds’ credit quality worsened. These contracts had a positive effect on performance.

All of these Funds have owned, or currently own, loans with the LIBOR floor feature. The coupon on most senior loans consists of both LIBOR (usually 90-day U.S. LIBOR) plus a spread. For example, a senior loan might have a coupon structure of “LIBOR plus 400 basis points (bp)” in which the coupon consists of 90-day LIBOR, plus 400bp. Given today’s relatively low LIBOR rate, however, many issuers have put in place LIBOR floors to enhance the yield (and satisfy demand from investors) for newly issued loans. LIBOR floors, as the name suggests, put a “floor” on the reference LIBOR rate. LIBOR floors typically range from 150bp to 50bp. A loan with a LIBOR floor might have a structure of “LIBOR + 400bp with a 100bp LIBOR floor.” In this example, the effective coupon is 5% (100bp + 400bp as long as LIBOR is less than or equal to 100bp). As a result, as LIBOR rises from current levels, the yield on a senior loan with a LIBOR floor will not rise in lockstep until after the reference LIBOR rate exceeds the LIBOR floor. Although many loans have LIBOR floors (the asset class is one of the few that will float when interest rates begin to rise), we believe the senior loan asset class provides fixed income oriented investors with a potential safeguard from a secular rise in interest rates.

Leverage

IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE

One important factor impacting the returns of the Funds relative to their benchmarks was the Funds’ use of leverage through the use of bank borrowings, Variable Rate Term Preferred (VRTP) Shares for NSL, JFR and JRO, Term Preferred Shares (Term Preferred) for JSD and reverse repurchase agreements for JQC. The Funds use leverage because our research has shown that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility. For example, as the prices of securities held by a Fund decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes on common share NAV and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by a Fund generally are rising. The Funds’ use of leverage had a negative impact on performance during this reporting period.

JSD also used interest rate swap contracts to partially fix the interest cost of leverage, which as mentioned previously, is through bank borrowings and Term Preferred. Collectively, these interest rate swap contracts contributed positively to overall Fund performance during the period.

As of January 31, 2016, the Funds’ percentages of leverage are shown in the accompanying table.


	NSL			JFR			JRO			JSD			JQC
Effective Leverage*		38.22	%		38.35	%		38.45	%		38.42	%		38.20	%
Regulatory Leverage*		38.22	%		38.35	%		38.45	%		38.42	%		32.60	%

Effective leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage and the leverage effects of certain derivative and other investments in a Fund’s portfolio that increase the Fund’s investment exposure. Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Information

COMMON SHARE DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION

The following information regarding the Funds’ distributions is current as of January 31, 2016. Each Fund’s distribution levels may vary over time based on each Fund’s investment activity and portfolio investment value changes.

During the current reporting period, each Fund’s distributions to common shareholders were as shown in the accompanying table.

Current Distribution Rate**		7.54	%		7.32	%		8.03	%		8.08	%		8.23	%

*	Distribution paid in December 2015.

Current distribution rate is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly distribution divided by the Fund’s current market price. The Fund’s monthly distributions to its shareholders may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and, if at the end of the fiscal year the Fund’s cumulative net ordinary income and net realized gains are less than the amount of the Fund’s distributions, a return of capital for tax purposes.

Each Fund in this report seeks to pay regular monthly dividends out of its net investment income at a rate that reflects its past and projected net income performance. To permit each Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s net asset value. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII that will likewise be reflected in the Fund’s net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders.

As of January 31, 2016, all of the Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes. NSL and JQC had positive UNII balances while JFR, JRO and JSD had negative UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

All monthly dividends paid by each Fund during the current reporting period were paid from net investment income. If a portion of the Fund’s monthly distributions was sourced from or comprised of elements other than net investment income, including capital gains and/or a return of capital, shareholders would have received a notice to that effect. For financial reporting purposes, the composition and per share amounts of each Fund’s dividends for the reporting period are presented in this report’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights, respectively. For income tax purposes, distribution information for each Fund as of its most recent tax year end is presented in Note 6 – Income Tax Information within the Notes to Financial Statements of this report.

Risk

Considerations

Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Nuveen Senior Income Fund (NSL)

Investing in closed-end funds involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. Adjustable Rate Senior Loans may not be fully secured by collateral, generally do not trade on exchanges, and are typically issued by unrated or below-investment grade companies, and therefore are subject to greater liquidity and credit risk. Lower credit debt securities may be more likely to fail to make timely interest or principal payments. Leverage increases return volatility and magnifies the Fund’s potential return and its risks; there is no guarantee a fund’s leverage strategy will be successful. These and other risk considerations such as interest rate risk are described in more detail on the Fund’s web page at www.nuveen.com/NSL.

For Fund portfolio compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications into sectors for reporting ease.

(1)	All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable to common shares unless otherwise noted.

(2)

Senior loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments of senior loans may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of senior loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.

(3)

Ratings: Using the highest of Standard & Poor’s Group (“Standard & Poor’s”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”) rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor’s, Baa by Moody’s or BBB by Fitch are considered to be below investment grade. Holdings designated N/R are not rated by any of these national rating agencies.

(4)

Senior loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus an assigned fixed rate. These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks. Senior loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan. The rate shown is the coupon as of the end of the reporting period.

(5)

As of, or subsequent to, the end of the reporting period, this security is non-income producing. Non-income producing, in the case of a fixed-income security, generally denotes that the issuer has (1) defaulted on the payment of principal or interest, (2) is under the protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court or (3) the Fund’s Adviser has concluded that the issue is not likely meet its future interest payment obligations and has ceased accruing additional income on the Fund’s records.

(6)	Non-income producing; issuer has not declared a dividend within the past twelve months.

(7)	For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 2. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 2 – Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements for more information.

(8)

Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board. For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, investment classified as Level 3. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 2 – Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements for more information.

(9)	Borrowings as a percentage of Total Investments is 22.9%.

(10)	The Fund segregates 100% of its eligible investments (excluding any investments separately pledged as collateral for specific investments in derivatives, when applicable) as collateral for borrowings.

(11)	Variable Rate Term Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Preference as a percentage of Total Investments is 14.2%.

(DD1)

Portion of investment purchased on a delayed delivery basis.

(WI/DD)

Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

144A	Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration, which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

TBD

Senior loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Certain details associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date of the transaction. In addition, senior loans typically trade without accrued interest and therefore a coupon rate is not available prior to settlement. At settlement, if still unknown, the borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the final coupon rate and maturity date.

See accompanying notes to financial statements.

(a)	Per share Net Investment Income (Loss) is calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)

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

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

Net Investment Income (Loss) ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to preferred shares (as described in Note 4 – Fund Shares, Preferred Shares) and/or borrowings (as described in Note 9 – Borrowing Arrangements), where applicable.

•

Each ratio includes the effect of all interest expense paid and other costs related to preferred shares and/or borrowings, where applicable, as follows:

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, the Adviser voluntarily reimbursed the Fund for certain expenses incurred in connection with its common shares equity shelf program. As a result the Expenses and Net Investment Income (Loss) Ratios to Average Net Assets Applicable to Common Shares do not reflect the voluntary expense reimbursement from Adviser as described in Note 4 – Fund Shares, Common Shares Equity Shelf Program and Offering Costs. The expenses and net investment income (loss) ratios to average net assets applicable to common shares including this expense reimbursement from Adviser are as follows:

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

Fund Information

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) symbols are as follows (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

•

Nuveen Senior Income Fund (NSL) (“Senior Income (NSL)”)

•

Nuveen Floating Rate Income Fund (JFR) (“Floating Rate Income (JFR)”)

•

Nuveen Floating Rate Income Opportunity Fund (JRO) (“Floating Rate Income Opportunity (JRO)”)

•

Nuveen Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund (JSD) (“Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)”)

•

Nuveen Credit Strategies Income Fund (JQC) (“Credit Strategies Income (JQC)”)

The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified closed-end management investment companies. Senior Income (NSL), Floating Rate Income (JFR), Floating Rate Income Opportunity (JRO), Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD) and Credit Strategies Income (JQC) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on August 13, 1999, January 15, 2004, April 27, 2004, January 3, 2011 and May 17, 2003, respectively.

The end of the reporting period for the Funds is January 31, 2016, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the six months ended January 31, 2016 (the “current fiscal period”).

Investment Adviser

The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Symphony Asset Management, LLC (“Symphony”), an affiliate of Nuveen, under which Symphony manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for overseeing the Funds’ investments in interest rate and credit default swap contracts.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

Senior Income’s (NSL) investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income, consistent with capital preservation. The Fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets (as defined in Note 7 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) in adjustable rate senior secured loans. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its managed assets in U.S. dollar denominated senior loans of non-U.S. borrowers, senior loans that are not secured, other debt securities and equity securities and warrants acquired in connection with the Fund’s investment in senior loans.

Floating Rate Income’s (JFR) investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in adjustable rate loans, primarily secured senior loans. As part of the 80% requirement, the Fund also may invest in unsecured senior loans and secured and unsecured subordinated loans. The Fund invests at least 65% of its managed assets in adjustable rate senior loans that are secured by specific collateral. The Fund may invest a substantial portion of its managed assets in senior loans and other debt instruments that are, at the time of investment, rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Symphony.

Floating Rate Income Opportunity’s (JRO) investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. The Fund invests at least 80% of its managed assets in adjustable rate loans, primarily secured senior loans. As part of the 80% requirement, the Fund also may invest in unsecured senior loans and secured and unsecured subordinated loans. The Fund invests at least 65% of its managed assets in adjustable rate senior loans that are secured by specific collateral.

Short Duration Credit Opportunities’ (JSD) investment objective is to provide current income and the potential for capital appreciation. Under normal market circumstances the Fund will invest at least 70% of its managed assets in adjustable rate corporate debt instruments, including senior secured loans, second lien loans and other adjustable rate corporate debt instruments. The Fund may make limited tactical investments in high yield debt and other debt instruments of up to 30% of its managed assets. No more than 30% of the Fund’s managed assets may be invested in debt instruments that are, at the time of investment, rated CCC+ or Caa or below by any Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization or that are unrated but judged by Symphony, to be of comparable quality. The Fund may enter into tactical short positions consisting primarily of high yield debt, either directly or through the use of derivatives, including credit default swaps, creating investment exposure or hedging existing long (positive) investment exposure in a

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

notional amount up to 20% of its managed assets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its managed assets in debt instruments of non-U.S. issuers that are U.S. dollar or non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund’s investments in debt instruments of non-U.S. issuers may include debt instruments of issuers located, or conducting their business, in emerging markets countries.

Credit Strategies Income’s (JQC) investment objectives are high current income and total return. The Fund meets its investment objectives by investing approximately 70% of its managed assets in senior secured and second lien loans, and up to 30% of its managed assets across the capital structure of companies (including equity securities) with a primary emphasis on high yield bonds, convertible securities and other forms of income-producing securities.

Effective September 30, 2015, The Funds can invest up to 5% in iBOXX Loan Total Return Swaps. For Senior Income (NSL), Floating Rate Income (JFR) and Floating Rate Income Opportunity (JRO), investment in iBOXX Loan Total Return Swaps count for the purpose of meeting the minimum 80% loan tests beginning after November 30, 2015.

Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Trade date for senior and subordinated loans purchased in the “primary market” is considered the date on which the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior and subordinated loans purchased in the “secondary market” is the date on which the transaction is entered into. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have earmarked securities in their portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:


	Senior Income (NSL)		Floating Rate Income (JFR)		Floating Rate Income Opportunity (JRO)		Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)		Credit Strategies Income (JQC)
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments	$	16,840,664	$	33,588,078	$	22,364,431	$	10,582,115	$	62,327,500

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Fee income consists primarily of amendment fees. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when received. Fee income and amendment fees, if any, are recognized as “Fees” on the Statement of Operations.

Professional Fees

Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. If a refund is received for workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders

Dividends to common shareholders are declared monthly. 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 common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal corporate income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.


	86			Nuveen Investments

Netting Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds 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 each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, each Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.

The Funds’ investments subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, if any, are further described in Note 3 – Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

The fair valuation input levels as described below are for fair value measurement purposes.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.


Level 1 –		Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –		Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 –		Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2. Prices of certain American Depositary Receipts (“ADR”) held by the Funds that trade in the United States are valued based on the last traded price, official closing price or the most recent bid price of the underlying non-U.S.-traded stock, adjusted as appropriate for the underlying-to-ADR conversion ratio and foreign exchange rate, and from time-to-time may also be adjusted further to take into account material events that may take place after the close of the local non-U.S. market but before the close of the NYSE, which may represent a transfer from a Level 1 to a Level 2 security.

Prices of fixed-income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The pricing service establishes a security’s fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.

Like most fixed-income securities, the senior and subordinated loans in which the Funds invest are not listed on an organized exchange. The secondary market of such investments may be less liquid relative to markets for other fixed-income securities. Consequently, the value of senior and subordinated loans, determined as described above, may differ significantly from the value that would have been determined had there been an active market for that senior loan. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Prices of swap contracts are also provided by a pricing service approved by the Board using the same methods as described above and are generally classified as Level 2.

The exchange-traded funds in which the Funds invest are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1.

Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value (“NAV”) on the valuation date and are generally classified as Level 1.


Nuveen Investments			87

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

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 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 NYSE 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 Board. 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 Board and/or its appointee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s NAV (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Board and/or its appointee.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

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

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

(i)

If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities.

(ii)

If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis.

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

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

3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives

Portfolio Securities

Foreign Currency Transactions

To the extent that a Fund invest 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.


Nuveen Investments			89

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

The books and records of the Funds 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 a 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 (i) foreign currency (ii) investments, (iii) investments in derivatives and (iv) other assets and liabilities 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 (i) investments and (ii) other assets and liabilities 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 investments in derivatives are recognized as a component of the respective derivative’s related “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund’s 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 Funds that are subject to netting agreements as of the end of the reporting period, and the collateral delivered related to those repurchase agreements.


Fund	Counterparty	Short-Term Investments, at Value		Collateral Pledged (From) Counterparty*			Net Exposure

*	As of the end of the reporting period, the value of the collateral pledged from the counterparty exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements. Refer to the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments for details on the repurchase agreements.

Zero Coupon Securities

A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

Investments in Derivatives

Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund limits its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim the exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

Interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying a variable rate payment. Forward interest rate swap contracts involve a Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”).

The amount of the payment obligation for an interest rate swap is based on the notional amount and the termination date of the contract. Interest rate swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that the Fund is to receive.

Interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract (and beginning on the effective date for a forward interest rate swap contract), the Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on the interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the fair value of the Fund’s contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. For an over-the-counter (“OTC”) swap that is not cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Uncleared”), the net amount recorded on these transactions, for each counterparty, is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps (, net).”


	90			Nuveen Investments

Upon the execution of an OTC swap cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Cleared”), the Fund is obligated to deposit cash or eligible securities, also known as “initial margin,” into an account at its clearing broker equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. Cash deposited by the Fund to cover initial margin requirements on open swap contracts, if any, is recognized as a component of “Cash collateral at brokers” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in OTC Cleared swaps obligate the Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the prior day’s “mark-to-market” of the swap contract. If the Fund has unrealized appreciation, the clearing broker will credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the appreciation. Conversely, if the Fund has unrealized depreciation, the clearing broker will debit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin for OTC Cleared swaps is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upon the execution of an OTC Uncleared swap, neither the Fund nor the counterparty is required to deposit initial margin as the trades are recorded bilaterally between both parties to the swap contract, and the terms of the variation margin are subject to a predetermined threshold negotiated by the Fund and the counterparty. Variation margin for OTC Uncleared swaps is recognized as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps (, net)” as described in the preceding paragraph.

The net amount of periodic payments settled in cash are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from swaps” on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of the swap contract. For tax purposes, payments expected to be received or paid on the swap contracts are treated as ordinary income or expense, respectively. Changes in the value of the swap contracts during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps” on the Statement of Operations. In certain instances, payments are made or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreements and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are recognized as “Interest rate swaps premiums paid and/or received” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

During the current fiscal period, Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD) used interest rate swaps in which the Fund received payments based upon floating (one- or three-month) LIBOR rates, and paid a fixed rate of interest. The purpose of the interest rate swaps is to convert some portion of the Fund’s floating rate leverage (bank borrowings) to fixed rate through the maturity date of the swap. The Fund also entered into a cancellable interest rate swap in which the Fund received payments based upon pre-determined fixed rates and paid one-month LIBOR plus a fixed spread. After a non-callable period, the swap counterparty owns the right on future monthly dates to terminate the swap at par. The purpose of the cancellable interest rate swap is to convert a fixed rate Term Preferred Share issuance to floating rate, and the cancellation dates of the swap correspond to dates on which the Fund can call the Term Preferred Share issue.

The average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:


	Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)
Average notional amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding*	$	29,166,667

*	The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional amount at the beginning of the fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period.

Credit Default Swaps

A 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 issuer’s 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. Upon occurrence of a specific credit event with respect to the underlying referenced entity, the Fund will either (i) receive that security, or an equivalent amount of cash, from the counterparty in exchange for payment of the notional amount to the counterparty, or (ii) 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 delivered and the notional amount received is recorded as a realized gain or loss. 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.

Credit default swap contracts are valued daily. 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.

For OTC swaps not cleared through a clearing house (“OTC Uncleared”), the daily change in the market value of the swap contract, along with any daily interest fees accrued, are recognized as components of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on credit default swaps (, net)” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Upon the execution of an OTC swap cleared through a claering house (“OTC Cleared”), a 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 swap contracts, if any, is recognized as “Cash collateral at brokers” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Investments in OTC Cleared swaps obligate a Fund and the clearing broker to settle monies on a daily basis representing changes in the

prior day’s “mark-to-market” of the swap. If a Fund has unrealized appreciation the clearing broker would credit the Fund’s account with an amount equal to the appreciation and conversely if a Fund has unrealized depreciation the clearing broker would debit a Fund’s account with an amount equal to the depreciation. These daily cash settlements are also known as “variation margin.” Variation margin for OTC Cleared swaps is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for “Variation margin on swap contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upon the execution of an OTC Uncleared swap, neither the Fund nor the counterparty is required to deposit initial margin as the trades are recorded bilaterally between both parties to the swap contract, and the terms of the variation margin are subject to a predetermined threshold negotiated by the Fund and the counterparty. Variation margin for OTC Uncleared swaps is recognized as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps (, net)” as described in the preceding paragraph. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund could incur as a buyer or 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 current fiscal period, Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD) continued to invest in credit default swap contracts to provide a benefit if particular bonds’ credit quality worsened.

The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding during the current fiscal period was as follows:


	Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)
Average notional amount of credit default swap contracts outstanding*	$	8,000,000

*	The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal period and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal period.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

4. Fund Shares

Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs

Each Fund has filed registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing the Funds to issue additional common shares through an equity shelf program (“Shelf Offering”), which became effective with the SEC during a prior fiscal period.

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

Common shares authorized, common shares issued and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under each Fund’s Shelf Offering during the current and prior fiscal periods were as follows:

Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their initial Shelf Offerings were recorded as a deferred charge and recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities during prior fiscal periods. The deferred asset is reduced during the one-year period that additional shares are sold by reducing the proceeds from such sales and is recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs and adjustments” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, when applicable. At the end of the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period, any remaining deferred charges will be expensed accordingly and recognized as “Shelf offering expenses” on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Any additional costs the Funds may incur in connection with their Shelf Offerings will be expensed as incurred and recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs and adjustments” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, when applicable.

Term Preferred Shares

The following Fund has issued and has outstanding Term Preferred Shares (“Term Preferred”), with a $1,000 liquidation preference per share.

As of the end of the reporting period, the outstanding Term Preferred, at liquidation preference, for the Fund was as follows:


Fund	Series		Shares Outstanding		Shares Outstanding at $1,000 Per Share Liquidation Preference
Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)		2020		35,000	$	35,000,000

The Fund is obligated to redeem its Term Preferred by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. The Term Preferred are subject to redemption at the option of the Fund, subject to payment of a premium for approximately one year following the date of issuance (“Optional Redemption Premium Expiration Date”), and at liquidation preference per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends. Term Preferred are subject to mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The Fund may be obligated to redeem a certain amount of the Term Preferred if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation preference per share (plus any premium) plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date and Optional Redemption Premium Expiration Date for each Fund’s series of Term Preferred are as follows:

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


	Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)*
Average liquidation preference of TPS outstanding	$	35,000,000
Annualized dividend rate		1.50	%

*	For the period November 16, 2015 (first issuance of shares) through January 31, 2016.

Term Preferred generally do not trade, and market quotations are generally not available. Term Preferred are short-term instruments that pay a dividend rate, subject to adjustment as set forth in accordance with the offering documents. The fair value of Term Preferred is expected to be approximately its liquidation preference so long as the fixed “spread” on the Term Preferred remains roughly in line with the “spread” rates being demanded by investors on instruments having similar terms in the current market environment. In present market conditions, the Fund’s Adviser has determined that the fair value of Term Preferred is its liquidation preference, but its fair value could vary if market conditions change materially. For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation preference of Term Preferred is a liability and is recognized as “Term Preferred Shares (“Term Preferred”), at liquidation preference” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Dividends on Term Preferred (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are at the rates set forth in its offering document. The initial dividend rate will expire approximately two years after the first issuance of shares and will be adjusted upwards semi-annually thereafter. Unpaid dividends on Term Preferred are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends accrued on Term Preferred are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund incurred offering costs of $898,949 in connection with its issuance of Series 2020 TPS, which was recorded as a deferred charge and is being amortized over the life of the shares. These offering costs are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.

Variable Rate Term Preferred Shares

During the current fiscal period, the following Funds have issued and outstanding Variable Rate Term Preferred (“VRTP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation preference per share. VRTP Shares are issued via private placement and are not publicly available.

As of the end of the reporting period, VRTP Shares outstanding, at liquidation preference, for each Fund was as follows:


Fund	Series		Shares Outstanding		Shares Outstanding at $100,000 Per Share Liquidation Preference

Each Fund is obligated to redeem its VRTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. VRTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The VRTP Shares are subject to redemption at the option of each Fund, subject to payment of premium for approximately one year following the date of issuance (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

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

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

Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of VRTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.

6. Income Tax Information

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment company taxable income 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 Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and recognition of premium amortization (except for Senior Income (NSL)). To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the NAVs of the Funds.

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual Fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:


Average Daily Managed Assets*	Senior Income (NSL)
For the first $1 billion		0.6500	%
For the next $1 billion		0.6375
For the next $3 billion		0.6250
For the next $5 billion		0.6000
For managed assets over $10 billion		0.5750


Average Daily Managed Assets*	Floating Rate Income (JFR) Floating Rate Income Opportunity (JRO)			Short Duration Credit Opportunities (JSD)			Credit Strategies Income (JQC)
For the first $500 million		0.6500	%		0.6500	%		0.6800	%
For the next $500 million		0.6250			0.6375			0.6500
For the next $500 million		0.6000			0.6250			0.6300
For the next $500 million		0.5750			0.6125			0.6050
For managed assets over $2 billion		0.5500			0.6000			0.5800

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is calculated according to the following schedule:


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

For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute ‘’eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen fund complex in connection with the


	98			Nuveen Investments

Adviser’s assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of January 31, 2016, the complex-level fee rate for these Funds was 0.1643%.

The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.

8. Senior Loan Commitments

Unfunded Commitments

Pursuant to the terms of certain of the variable rate senior loan agreements, the Funds may have unfunded senior loan commitments. Each Fund will maintain with its custodian, cash, liquid securities and/or liquid senior loans having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of unfunded senior loan commitments. As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds had no such unfunded senior loan commitments.

Participation Commitments

With respect to the senior loans held in each Fund’s portfolio, the Funds may: 1) invest in assignments; 2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates; or 3) invest in participations. If a Fund purchases a participation of a senior loan interest, the Fund would typically enter into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, rather than directly with the borrower. As such, the Fund not only assumes the credit risk of the borrower, but also that of the selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. As of the end of the reporting period, the Funds had no such outstanding participation commitments.

9. Borrowing Arrangements

Each Fund has entered into a borrowing arrangement (“Borrowings”) as a means of leverage.

Borrowings Information for Senior Income (NSL), Floating Rate Income (JFR) and Floating Rate Income Opportunity (JRO)

The following Funds have entered into a revolving credit and security agreement with Citibank N.A. and affiliated conduit lenders through February 1, 2016. Each Fund’s maximum commitment amount under its Borrowings is as follows:

Effective October 30, 2015, the interest charged on these Borrowings is at a rate per annum equal to the 1-Month LIBOR plus 0.85%. The Fund also accrues an amendment fee of 0.10% per annum on the maximum commitment amount of the Borrowings and a 0.15% per annum on the undrawn portion if less than 50% of the maximum commitment, however, if the undrawn portion of the Borrowings is greater than 50% of the maximum commitment amount the Fund will accrue a 0.25% per annum on the portion of the Borrowings.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

During the current fiscal period, Credit Strategies Income (JQC) entered into reverse repurchase agreements as a means of leverage. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells to the counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date, with the Fund retaining the risk of loss that is associated with that security. The Fund will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Adviser to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements. Securities sold under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded and recognized as “Reverse repurchase agreements” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Interest payments made on reverse repurchase agreements are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Fund received a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s outstanding balances on its reverse repurchase agreements were as follows:


Fund	Counterparty	Coupon			Principal Amount			Maturity		Value			Value and Accrued Interest
Credit Strategies Income (JQC)	Societe Generale		1.43	%	$	(160,000,000	)		4/15/20	$	(160,000,000	)	$	160,247,870

Glossary of Terms

Used in this Report

Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment’s performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment’s actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or offer price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.

Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO): A security backed by a pool of debt, often low rated corporate loans. Collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) are similar to collateralized mortgage obligations, except for the different type of underlying loan.

Convexity: A tool used in risk management to measure the sensitivity of bond duration to interest rate changes. Higher convexity generally means higher sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index: A representative, unmanaged index of tradeable, senior, U.S. dollar-denominated leveraged loans. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not include the effects of any applicable sales charges or management fees.

Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (see below) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the fund’s portfolio.

Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital.

Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding.

Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a fund. Both of these are part of a fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is subject to asset coverage limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Reinvest Automatically,

Easily and Conveniently

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

Your Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested.

It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

Easy and convenient

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

How shares are purchased

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

Flexible

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change.

You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.
