Important Notice
to Fund Shareholders
OCTOBER 20,
2010
Although we recommend that you read the complete Proxy
Statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief
overview of the issues to be voted on.
|
|
|
Q. |
|
Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement? |
|
A. |
|
You are receiving this Proxy Statement as a Fund shareholder in
connection with the annual shareholders meeting for the Nuveen
closed-end funds listed at the top of the Notice of Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. |
You are being asked to vote on a number of important matters:
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
Updated Investment Policies (all Affected Municipal Funds (as
defined in the Proxy Statement)). Nuveens municipal
closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, up to
date set of investment policies (the New Investment
Policies). In general, these funds currently have a
somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting when the funds were
launched over the past 20 years as well as developments
over time in the municipal market, including new types of
securities as well as investment strategies.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Approval of Fund Board Nominees (all Funds). Each
year, you and other Fund shareholders must approve the election
of Board members to serve on your Funds Board. This is a
requirement for all funds that list their common shares on a
stock exchange. The Funds described in this Proxy Statement are
holding their annual shareholders meetings at which Board
members will be elected. The list of specific nominees is
contained in the enclosed Proxy Statement.
|
Your Funds Board of Trustees/Directors, including your
Boards independent members, unanimously recommends that
you vote FOR each proposal.
Your vote is very important. We encourage you as a
shareholder to participate in your Funds governance by
returning your vote as soon as possible. If enough shareholders
dont cast their votes, your Fund may not be able to hold
its meeting or the vote on each issue, and will be required to
incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain
sufficient shareholder participation.
|
|
|
Q. |
|
What are the potential benefits of the New Investment
Policies for common shareholders of the Affected Municipal
Funds? |
|
A. |
|
The potential benefits to common shareholders are: |
|
|
|
Enhanced ability of the Affected
Municipal Funds to generate attractive tax-free income while
retaining their orientation on investment grade quality
municipal securities;
|
|
|
|
Increased flexibility in diversifying
portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond
prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and
possible growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to
sustain and build net asset value; and
|
|
|
|
Improved secondary market
competitiveness that may lead to a higher relative market price
and/or
stronger premium/discount performance.
|
|
Q. |
|
What are the potential benefits of the New Investment
Policies for preferred shareholders of the Affected Municipal
Funds? |
|
A. |
|
The potential benefits to preferred shareholders are increased
flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing
duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate |
|
|
|
|
|
changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of
capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build
net asset value and therefore asset coverage levels for
preferred shares. |
|
Q. |
|
What actions are required in order to implement the New
Investment Policies? |
|
A. |
|
In order to implement the New Investment Policies and obtain the
potential benefits described above, each Affected Municipal Fund
must make certain changes to its existing policies, including
certain fundamental policies that require approval of
shareholders. In some cases, this may require shareholder
approval of the elimination of an existing fundamental policy as
well as the implementation of a new replacement fundamental
policy. Because each Affected Municipal Fund tends to be
situated somewhat differently, the specific changes required to
implement the New Investment Policies often vary from fund to
fund. |
|
Q. |
|
What happens if shareholders dont approve the
elimination of the fundamental investment policies and/or
dont approve the New Investment Policy or Policies? |
|
A. |
|
An Affected Municipal Fund will not be able to implement the New
Investment Policies as discussed above. The Affected Municipal
Fund would likely incur further expenses to solicit additional
shareholder participation, and may experience potential
disruptions to its investment operations. The Boards of the
Affected Municipal Funds urge you to vote without delay in order
to avoid the potential for higher costs and/or disruptions to
portfolio operations. |
|
Q. |
|
Who do I call if I have questions? |
|
A. |
|
If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the
proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Computershare
Fund Services, your Funds proxy solicitor, at
(866) 612-5814.
Please have your proxy material available when you call. |
|
Q. |
|
How do I vote my shares? |
|
A. |
|
You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed
proxy card, and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid
envelope. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone by calling
the toll-free number on the proxy card or by computer by going
to the Internet address provided on the proxy card and following
the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide. |
|
Q. |
|
Will anyone contact me? |
|
A. |
|
You may receive a call from Computershare Fund Services,
the proxy solicitor hired by your Fund, to verify that you
received your proxy materials, to answer any questions you may
have about the proposals and to encourage you to vote your proxy. |
We recognize the inconvenience of the proxy solicitation process
and would not impose on you if we did not believe that the
matters being proposed were important and in the best interests
of the Funds. Once your vote has been registered with the proxy
solicitor, your name will be removed from the solicitors
follow-up
contact list.

Massachusetts Business Trust (each referred to herein as
a Massachusetts Fund and collectively, the
Massachusetts Funds) (the Massachusetts Funds and
Minnesota Funds are each, a Fund and collectively,
the Funds), of proxies to be voted at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the 32nd Floor
Conference Room of Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker
Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, on Tuesday, November 16,
2010, at 10:30 a.m., Central time (for each Fund, an
Annual Meeting and collectively, the Annual
Meetings), and at any and all adjournments thereof.
On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a
choice has been specified by shareholders on the proxy, the
shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is returned and no
choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the
election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement
and FOR the elimination of the fundamental investment
policies and the
3
adoption of new fundamental investment policies for the Affected
Municipal Funds (as defined below). Shareholders of a Fund who
execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are
voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation,
by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint
Proxy Statement for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest
of each Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar
matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders.
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each
Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at
each Annual Meeting, represented in person or by proxy, will
constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting,
except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees to
be elected by holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (except
California Value, California Value 2, New Jersey Value,
Pennsylvania Value, Floating Rate Income, Floating Rate Income
Opportunity, Senior Income and Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate),
331/3%
of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in
person or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy
or in person at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the
inspectors of election appointed for that Annual Meeting. The
inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is
present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will
treat abstentions
5
and broker non-votes (i.e., shares held by brokers
or nominees, typically in street name, as to which
(i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial
owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or
nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular
matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
For each Fund, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares
present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be
required to elect the Board Members of that Fund. For purposes
of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees
for each Fund, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no
effect on the election of Board Members. For purposes of
determining the approval of the elimination of the fundamental
investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental
investment policies for the Affected Municipal Funds, a change
will only be consummated if approved by the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a
Funds Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together
as a single class, and by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the Funds outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a
separate class. For this purpose, a majority of the outstanding
shares means, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), (a) 67% or more
of the voting securities present at the Annual Meeting, if the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities
are present or represented by proxy; or (b) more than 50%
of the outstanding voting securities, whichever is less. For
purposes of determining the approval of the elimination of the
fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new
fundamental investment policies, abstentions and broker
non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the
proposal.
Preferred Shares held in street name as to which
voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial
owners or persons entitled to vote as of one business day before
the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before
the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, and that would
otherwise be treated as broker non-votes may,
pursuant to Rule 452 of the New York Stock Exchange, be
voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as
the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares as a class who
have voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the
votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares of the Fund who
have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits proportionate
voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if,
among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred
Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has
been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such
item and (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or
shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been
voted by the holders of such shares against such item. For the
purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as
shares voted and, for the purpose of meeting the 10%
test, abstentions will not be treated as shares
voted against the item.
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of
business on September 17, 2010 will be entitled to one vote
for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each
fractional share held. As of September 17, 2010, the shares
of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

On July 28, 2010, Nuveen Investments, Inc. entered into an
agreement with U.S. Bancorp, as indirect parent of FAF
Advisors, Inc. (FAF), to purchase a portion of
FAFs asset management business (the Nuveen/FAF
Transaction). In connection with the Nuveen/FAF
Transaction, the Nominating and Governance Committee has
preliminarily approved the appointment of Virginia Stringer as
Board Member, pending the closing of the Nuveen/FAF Transaction,
which is scheduled to close in December 2010, with such
appointment taking effect upon Ms. Stringers consent
after the closing of the Nuveen/FAF Transaction and
Ms. Stringers resignation as board member of various
funds affiliated with FAF. As of the date of this Proxy
Statement, Ms. Stringer has not been officially nominated
as Board Member nominee for election by shareholders.
The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each
Board Member in each Fund and all Nuveen funds overseen by the
Board Member as of December 31, 2009 is set forth in
Appendix A. The number of shares of each Fund beneficially
owned by each Board Member and by the Board Members and officers
of the Funds as a group as of December 31, 2009 is set
forth in Appendix A. On December 31, 2009, Board
Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned
approximately 800,000 shares of all funds managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (including shares held by the Board Members
through the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board
Members and by executive officers in Nuveens 401(k)/profit
sharing plan). As of September 17, 2010, each Board
Members individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund
constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.
As of September 17, 2010, the Board Members and executive
officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of each Fund. As of September 17, 2010,
no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of
shares of any Fund, except as provided in Appendix B.
Compensation
Each Independent Board Member receives a $100,000 annual
retainer plus (a) a fee of $3,250 per day for attendance in
person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the
Board; (b) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance in
person where such in-person attendance is required and $1,500
per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person where
in-person attendance is not required at a special, non-regularly
scheduled board meeting; (c) a fee of $2,000 per meeting
for attendance in person or $1,500 per meeting for attendance by
telephone at an audit committee meeting; (d) a fee of
$2,000 per meeting for attendance at a regularly scheduled
compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee
meeting for regular quarterly meetings and $1,000 per meeting
for attendance of other, non-quarterly meetings; (e) a fee
of $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone
for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (f) a fee of
$500 per meeting for attendance in person at all other committee
meetings, $1,000 for attendance at shareholder meetings on a day
on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held in which
in-person attendance is required, $250 per meeting for
attendance by telephone at committee meetings (excluding
shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required
and $100 per meeting when the executive committee acts as
pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses
incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the payments
described above, the Independent Chairman receives $50,000
annually and the Lead Independent Director, if any, receives
$35,000, the chairpersons of the audit committee, the dividend
committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory
oversight committee receive $7,500 and the chairperson of the
nominating and governance committee receives $5,000 as
additional retainers to the annual
17
retainer paid to such individuals. Independent Board Members
also receive a fee of $2,500 per day for site visits to entities
that provide services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no
regularly scheduled board meeting is held. When ad hoc
committees are organized, the nominating and governance
committee will at the time of formation determine compensation
to be paid to the members of such committees, however, in
general such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in
person at any ad hoc committee meeting where in-person
attendance is required and $500 per meeting for attendance by
telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person
attendance is not required. The annual retainer, fees and
expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser,
on the basis of relative net asset sizes although fund
management may, in its discretion, establish a minimum amount to
be allocated to each fund. The Board Member affiliated with
Nuveen and the Adviser serves without any compensation from the
Funds.
The boards of certain Nuveen funds (the Participating
Funds) established a Deferred Compensation Plan for
Independent Board Members (Deferred Compensation
Plan). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Independent
Board Members of the Participating Funds may defer receipt of
all, or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their
services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving
current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is
treated as though an equivalent dollar amount had been invested
in shares of one or more eligible Nuveen funds.

Board
Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
The Board of each Fund (collectively, the Board)
oversees the operations and management of the Fund, including
the duties performed for the Funds by the Adviser. The Board has
adopted a unitary board structure. A unitary board consists of
one group of directors who serve on the board of every fund in
the complex. In adopting a unitary board structure, the Board
Members seek to provide effective governance through
establishing a board, the overall composition of which, will, as
a body, possess the appropriate skills, independence and
experience to oversee the Funds business. With this
overall framework in mind, when the Board, through its
Nominating and Governance Committee discussed below, seeks
nominees for the Board, the Board Members consider, not only the
candidates particular background, skills and experience,
among other things, but also whether such background, skills and
experience enhance the Boards diversity and at the same
time complement the Board given its current composition and the
mix of skills and experiences of the incumbent Board Members.
The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board
generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and
views among its members, and considers this a factor in
evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any
specific policy on diversity or any particular definition of
diversity.
The Board believes the unitary board structure enhances good and
effective governance, particularly given the nature of the
structure of the investment company complex. Funds in the same
complex generally are served by the same service providers and
personnel and are governed by the same regulatory scheme which
raises common issues that must be addressed by the directors
across the fund complex (such as compliance, valuation,
liquidity, brokerage, trade allocation or risk management). The
Board believes it is more efficient to have a single board
review and oversee common policies and procedures which
increases the Boards knowledge and expertise with respect
to the many aspects of fund operations that are complex-wide in
nature. The unitary structure also enhances the Boards
influence and oversight over the Adviser and other service
providers.
In an effort to enhance the independence of the Board, the Board
also has a Chairman that is an independent Board Member. The
Board recognizes that a chairman can perform an important role
in setting the agenda for the Board, establishing the boardroom
culture, establishing a point person on behalf of the Board for
fund management, and reinforcing the Boards focus on the
long-term interests of shareholders. The Board recognizes that a
chairman may be able to better perform these functions without
any conflicts of interests arising from a position with fund
management. Accordingly, the Board Members have elected Robert
P. Bremner as the independent Chairman of the Board. Specific
responsibilities of the Chairman include: (i) presiding at
all meetings of the Board and of the shareholders;
(ii) seeing that all orders and resolutions of the Board
Members are carried into effect; and (iii) maintaining
records of and, whenever necessary, certifying all proceedings
of the Board Members and the shareholders.
Although the Board has direct responsibility over various
matters (such as advisory contracts, underwriting contracts and
Fund performance), the Board also exercises certain of its
oversight responsibilities through several committees that it
has established and which report back to the full Board. The
Board believes that a committee structure is an effective means
to permit Board Members to focus on particular operations or
issues affecting the Funds, including risk oversight. More
specifically, with respect to risk oversight, the Board has
delegated matters relating to valuation and compliance to
certain committees (as summarized below) as well as
22
certain aspects of investment risk. In addition, the Board
believes that the periodic rotation of Board Members among the
different committees allows the Board Members to gain additional
and different perspectives of a Funds operations. The
Board has established five standing committees: the Executive
Committee, the Dividend Committee, the Audit Committee, the
Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight Committee
and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board may also
from time to time create ad hoc committees to focus on
particular issues as the need arises. The membership and
functions of the standing committees are summarized below.
The Executive Committee, which meets between regular meetings of
the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the
Board. Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and John P.
Amboian serve as the current members of the Executive Committee
of the Board. The number of Executive Committee meetings of each
Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in
Appendix C.
The Dividend Committee is authorized to declare distributions on
each Funds shares including, but not limited to, regular
and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income
distributions. The members of the Dividend Committee are Jack B.
Evans, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Terence J. Toth. The
number of Dividend Committee meetings of each Fund held during
its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
The Board has an Audit Committee, in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the 1934 Act), that is composed of
Independent Board Members who are also independent
as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to
closed-end funds of the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE
Amex, as applicable. The Audit Committee assists the Board in
the oversight and monitoring of the accounting and reporting
policies, processes and practices of the Funds, and the audits
of the financial statements of the Funds; the quality and
integrity of the financial statements of the Funds; the
Funds compliance with legal and regulatory requirements
relating to the Funds financial statements; the
independent auditors qualifications, performance and
independence; and the pricing procedures of the Funds and the
internal valuation group of Nuveen. It is the responsibility of
the Audit Committee to select, evaluate and replace any
independent auditors (subject only to Board and, if applicable,
shareholder ratification) and to determine their compensation.
The Audit Committee is also responsible for, among other things,
overseeing the valuation of securities comprising the
Funds portfolios. Subject to the Boards general
supervision of such actions, the Audit Committee addresses any
valuation issues, oversees the Funds pricing procedures
and actions taken by Nuveens internal valuation group
which provides regular reports to the committee, reviews any
issues relating to the valuation of the Funds securities
brought to its attention and considers the risks to the Funds in
assessing the possible resolutions to these matters. The Audit
Committee may also consider any financial risk exposures for the
Funds in conjunction with performing its functions.
To fulfill its oversight duties, the Audit Committee receives
annual and semi-annual reports and has regular meetings with the
external auditors for the Funds and the internal audit group at
Nuveen. The Audit Committee also may review in a general manner
the processes the Board or other Board committees have in place
with respect to risk assessment and risk management as well as
compliance with legal and regulatory matters relating to the
Funds financial statements. The Audit Committee operates
under a written Audit Committee Charter adopted and approved by
the Board, which Charter conforms to the listing standards of
the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Amex, as applicable.
Members of the Audit Committee shall be
23
independent (as set forth in the Charter) and free of any
relationship that, in the opinion of the Board Members, would
interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an
Audit Committee member. The members of the Audit Committee are
Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, David J. Kundert,
Chair, William J. Schneider and Terence J. Toth, each of whom is
an independent Board Member of the Funds. A copy of the Audit
Committee Charter is attached as Appendix D. The number of
Audit Committee Meetings of each Fund held during its last
fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
The Compliance, Risk Management and Regulatory Oversight
Committee (the Compliance Committee) is responsible
for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management and
other regulatory matters affecting the Funds that are not
otherwise the jurisdiction of the other committees. The Board
has adopted and periodically reviews policies and procedures
designed to address the Funds compliance and risk matters.
As part of its duties, the Compliance Committee reviews the
policies and procedures relating to compliance matters and
recommends modifications thereto as necessary or appropriate to
the full Board; develops new policies and procedures as new
regulatory matters affecting the Funds arise from time to time;
evaluates or considers any comments or reports from examinations
from regulatory authorities and responses thereto; and performs
any special reviews, investigations or other oversight
responsibilities relating to risk management, compliance
and/or
regulatory matters as requested by the Board.
In addition, the Compliance Committee is responsible for risk
oversight, including, but not limited to, the oversight of risks
related to investments and operations. Such risks include, among
other things, exposures to particular issuers, market sectors,
or types of securities; risks related to product structure
elements, such as leverage; and techniques that may be used to
address those risks, such as hedging and swaps. In assessing
issues brought to the Compliance Committees attention or
in reviewing a particular policy, procedure, investment
technique or strategy, the Compliance Committee evaluates the
risks to the Funds in adopting a particular approach or
resolution compared to the anticipated benefits to the Funds and
their shareholders. In fulfilling its obligations, the
Compliance Committee meets on a quarterly basis, and at least
once a year in person. The Compliance Committee receives written
and oral reports from the Funds Chief Compliance Officer
(CCO) and meets privately with the CCO at each of
its quarterly meetings. The CCO also provides an annual report
to the full Board regarding the operations of the Funds
and other service providers compliance programs as well as
any recommendations for modifications thereto. The Compliance
Committee also receives reports from the investment services
group of Nuveen regarding various investment risks.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board also participates
in discussions with management regarding certain matters
relating to investment risk, such as the use of leverage and
hedging. The investment services group therefore also reports to
the full Board at its quarterly meetings regarding, among other
things, Fund performance and the various drivers of such
performance. Accordingly, the Board directly
and/or in
conjunction with the Compliance Committee oversees matters
relating to investment risks. Matters not addressed at the
committee level are addressed directly by the full Board. The
Compliance Committee operates under a written charter adopted
and approved by the Board. The members of the Compliance
Committee are William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Chair,
Judith M. Stockdale and Carole E. Stone. The number of
Compliance Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last
fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
24
The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for
seeking, identifying and recommending to the Board qualified
candidates for election or appointment to the Board. In
addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee oversees
matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of
Board performance and processes, the assignment and rotation of
committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance
guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable,
and matters related thereto. Although the unitary and committee
structure has been developed over the years and the Nominating
and Governance Committee believes the structure has provided
efficient and effective governance, the committee recognizes
that as demands on the Board evolve over time (such as through
an increase in the number of funds overseen or an increase in
the complexity of the issues raised), the committee must
continue to evaluate the Board and committee structures and
their processes and modify the foregoing as may be necessary or
appropriate to continue to provide effective governance.
Accordingly, the Nominating and Governance Committee has a
separate meeting each year to, among other things, review the
Board and committee structures, their performance and functions,
and recommend any modifications thereto or alternative
structures or processes that would enhance the Boards
governance over the Funds business.
In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee, among
other things, makes recommendations concerning the continuing
education of Board Members; monitors performance of legal
counsel and other service providers; establishes and monitors a
process by which security holders are able to communicate in
writing with Board Members; and periodically reviews and makes
recommendations about any appropriate changes to Board Member
compensation. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the
Nominating and Governance Committee receives suggestions from
various sources as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be
sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board
Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, IL 60606. The Nominating and Governance Committee sets
appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new
Board Members and reserves the right to interview any and all
candidates and to make the final selection of any new Board
Members. In considering a candidates qualifications, each
candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including
relevant skills and experience, time availability (including the
time requirements for due diligence site visits to internal and
external
sub-advisers
and service providers) and, if qualifying as an Independent
Board Member candidate, independence from the Adviser,
sub-advisers,
underwriters or other service providers, including any
affiliates of these entities. These skill and experience
requirements may vary depending on the current composition of
the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of
skills, diversity and experience, in the aggregate. Accordingly,
the particular factors considered and weight given to these
factors will depend on the composition of the Board and the
skills and backgrounds of the incumbent Board Member at the time
of consideration of the nominees. All candidates, however, must
meet high expectations of personal integrity, independence,
governance experience and professional competence. All
candidates must be willing to be critical within the Board and
with management and yet maintain a collegial and collaborative
manner toward other Board Members. The Nominating and Governance
Committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved
by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Funds
website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder/, and is composed
entirely of Independent Board Members who are also
independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange or
NYSE Amex listing standards, as applicable. Accordingly, the
members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Robert P.
Bremner, Chair, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J.
Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Carole E.
Stone and
25
Terence J. Toth. The number of Nominating and Governance
Committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year
is shown in Appendix C.
The number of regular quarterly meetings and special meetings
held by the Board of each Fund during the Funds last
fiscal year is shown in Appendix C. During the last fiscal
year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Funds
Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof)
held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board
Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board
Members at annual meetings of the Funds and the number of Board
Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of
each Fund is posted on the Funds website at
www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder/.
Board Diversification and Board Member
Qualifications. In determining that a particular
Board Member was qualified to serve as a Board Member, the Board
has considered each Board Members background, skills,
experience and other attributes in light of the composition of
the Board with no particular factor controlling. The Board
believes that Board Members need to have the ability to
critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information
provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund
management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise
effective business judgment in the performance of their duties
and the Board believes each Board Member satisfies this
standard. An effective Board Member may achieve this ability
through his or her educational background; business,
professional training or practice; public service or academic
positions; experience from service as a board member (including
the Boards of the Funds), or as an executive of investment
funds, public companies or significant private or
not-for-profit
entities or other organizations; and or/other life experiences.
Accordingly, set forth below is a summary of the experiences,
qualifications, attributes, and skills that led to the
conclusion, as of the date of this document, that each Board
Member should continue to serve in that capacity. References to
the experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills of Board
Members are pursuant to requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, do not constitute holding out of the Board
or any Board Member as having any special expertise or
experience and shall not impose any greater responsibility or
liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

Approval
of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and
Approval of New Fundamental Policies for each Affected Municipal
Fund
|
The Affected Municipal Funds have adopted certain fundamental
investment policies relating to (i) investments in
municipal securities and below investment grade securities,
(ii) investments in other investment companies
and/or
(iii) investments in derivatives, short sales and
commodities as described below (together, the Current
Fundamental Policies, and each, a Current
Fundamental Policy), that can only be changed by
shareholder vote. The Current Fundamental Policies adopted by
the Affected Municipal Funds reflected industry and other market
conditions present at the time of the inception of each Fund.
Nuveens municipal closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a
uniform, up to date set of investment policies (the
New Investment Policies). In general, the funds
currently have a somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting
when the funds were launched over the past 20 years as well
as developments over time in the municipal market, including new
types of securities as well as investment strategies. The
potential benefits of the New Investment Policies to you as a
Fund shareholder are:
|
|
|
enhanced ability of the Affected Municipal Funds to generate
attractive levels of tax-exempt income, while retaining the
Affected Municipal Funds orientation on investment grade
quality municipal securities;
|
|
|
increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and
managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest
rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of
capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build
common shareholder net asset value and asset coverage levels for
preferred shares; and
|
|
|
improved secondary market competitiveness which may benefit
common shareholders through higher relative market price
and/or
stronger premium/discount performance.
|
In order to implement the New Investment Policies, each Affected
Municipal Fund must make certain changes to its existing
policies, including certain fundamental policies that require
your vote of approval. In some cases, this may require your
separate votes to approve the elimination of a Current
Fundamental Policy as well as the implementation of a new,
replacement fundamental policy (together, the New
Fundamental Policies and each, a New Fundamental
Policy). Because each Affected Municipal Fund tends to be
situated somewhat differently, the specific changes required to
implement the New Investment Policies often vary from fund to
fund.
The primary purposes of these changes are to provide the
Affected Municipal Funds with increased investment flexibility
and to create consistent investment policies for all Nuveen
municipal bond funds to promote operational efficiencies.
Implementation of the New Fundamental Policies is contingent on
shareholder approval of the elimination of the Current
Fundamental Policies.
The Board has unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends
the approval by shareholders of each Affected Municipal Fund,
the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies of the
Affected Municipal Funds. In connection with eliminating the
Current Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved,
and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of each
Affected Municipal Fund of, the New Fundamental Policies,
described
36
below. In addition, the Board has approved certain new
non-fundamental policies, described below (the New
Non-Fundamental Policies).
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Investments
in Municipal Securities and Below Investment Grade Securities
(All Affected Municipal Funds)
|
The Current Fundamental Policies with respect to each Affected
Municipal Funds investments in municipal securities and
the ability to invest in below investment grade securities that
are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
Arizona Dividend Advantage 2, North Carolina Dividend
Advantage and North Carolina Dividend Advantage 2
(i) Under normal [circumstances/market conditions], the
Fund will invest its net assets in a portfolio of municipal
bonds that are exempt from regular federal and [State] income
taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be
fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt
municipal bonds.
Missouri Premium Income
(i) [Except to the extent the Fund invests in temporary
investments as described below and more fully in the Statement
of Additional Information], the Fund [will, as a fundamental
policy,] invest substantially all (in excess of 80%) of its
assets in tax-exempt [State] Municipal Obligations rated at the
time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or
better) by Moodys Investors Services, Inc.
(Moodys) or Standard & Poors
Corporation (S&P), or in unrated [State]
Municipal Obligations which, in the opinion of the Adviser, have
credit characteristics equivalent to, and will be of comparable
quality to, [State] Municipal Obligations rated within the four
highest grades by Moodys or S&P, provided that the
Fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in such unrated
[State] Municipal Obligations.
(ii) The Fund will not invest in any rated [State]
Municipal Obligations that are rated lower than Baa by
Moodys or BBB by S&P at the time of purchase.
California Market Opportunity
(i) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary
investments as described in [the Funds Statement of
Additional Information], the Fund will, as a fundamental policy,
invest substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in
tax-exempt [State] municipal bonds that are rated at the time of
purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better)
by Moodys or Standard and Poors, except that the
Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated [State]
municipal bonds which, in Nuveen Advisorys opinion, have
credit characteristics equivalent to, and are of comparable
quality to, municipal bonds so rated.
California Quality Income and California Select Quality
(i) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary
investments as described in [the Funds Statement of
Additional Information], the Fund will, as a fundamental policy,
invest substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in
tax-exempt California municipal bonds that are rated at the time
of purchase within the four highest
37
grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moodys or Standard and
Poors, except that the Fund may invest up to 20% of its
assets in unrated California municipal bonds which, in Nuveen
Advisorys opinion, have credit characteristics equivalent
to, and are of comparable quality to, California municipal bonds
so rated.

Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Investments in
Municipal Securities (All Affected Municipal Funds)
|
The following New Fundamental Policy will replace each Affected
Municipal Funds Current Fundamental Policy or Policies
referenced in 2(a) above. Implementation of the following New
Fundamental Policy by each Affected Municipal Fund is contingent
on shareholder approval of the elimination of each Affected
Municipal Funds Current Fundamental Policy or Policies.
The proposed New Fundamental Policy with respect to each
Funds investments in municipal securities is as follows:
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its net assets, including assets attributable to
any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance
of commercial paper or notes) or any preferred shares
outstanding (Managed Assets) in municipal securities
and other related investments, the income from which is exempt
from regular federal [and state] income taxes.
In addition, the Board has adopted New Non-Fundamental Policies
with respect to investing in investment grade securities for
each Affected Municipal Fund, which will be implemented upon the
elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies described in
2(a) above. The New Non-Fundamental Policies relating to
investing in investment grade securities are as follows:
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade securities
that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four
highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one nationally
recognized statistical rating organization or are unrated but
judged to be of comparable quality by the Funds investment
adviser Nuveen Asset Management.
(ii) The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in
municipal securities that at the time of investment are rated
below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of
comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management.
(iii) No more than 10% of the Funds Managed Assets
may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or
that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by
Nuveen Asset Management.
Related to these changes, the Board of each Affected Municipal
Fund has also amended and standardized the description of
municipal securities or municipal
obligations in which an Affected Municipal Fund may invest
to include various types of municipal securities. The new
description, tailored as appropriate to each Affected Municipal
Fund, generally provides:
The Fund may invest in various municipal securities, including
municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance
and refinance public projects, and other related securities and
derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds,
notes and securities that provide for the payment of interest
income that is exempt
38
from federal income tax (Municipal Obligations).
Municipal Obligations are generally debt obligations issued by
state and local governmental entities and may be issued by
U.S. territories to finance or refinance public projects
such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. Municipal
Obligations may also be issued for private activities, such as
housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for
privately owned transportation, electric utility and pollution
control projects. Municipal Obligations may be issued on a long
term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such
debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and
credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or special tax, or
any other revenue source including project revenues, which may
include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and
mortgage payments. Municipal Obligations may also be issued to
finance projects on a short term interim basis, anticipating
repayment with the proceeds on long term debt. Municipal
Obligations may be issued and purchased in the form of bonds,
notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as
callable or noncallable; with payment forms including fixed
coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds,
tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse
floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in
pooled vehicles, partnerships or other investment companies.
Inverse floating rate securities are securities that pay
interest at rates that vary inversely with changes in prevailing
short-term tax-exempt interest rates and represent a leveraged
investment in an underlying municipal security, which may
increase the effective leverage of the Fund.

(c)
|
Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Commodities
(All
Premium/Quality
Funds)
|
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to commodities that
are proposed to be eliminated are as follow:
California Market Opportunity, California Quality Income and
California Select Quality
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or
sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for
transactions involving futures contracts within the limits
described under Certain Trading Strategies of the
Fund Financial Futures and Options
Transactions.*
Missouri Premium Income
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or
sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for
transactions involving futures contracts that represent no more
than 10% of the Funds total assets and are otherwise
within the limits described in Certain Trading Strategies
of The Fund Financial Futures and Options
Transactions.*
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
39
|
|
|
|
(d)
|
Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Commodities
(All
Premium/Quality
Funds)
|
It is proposed that each Premium/Quality Fund adopt a New
Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities. The adoption of
the following New Fundamental Policy for each Premium/Quality
Fund is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of
that Premium/Quality Funds Current Fundamental Policy with
respect to commodities, as reflected in 2(c) above. The proposed
New Fundamental Policy is as follows:
(i) The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities
unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other
instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing
or selling options, futures contracts or derivative instruments
or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by
physical commodities).
|
|
|
|
(e)
|
Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Derivatives
and Short Sales (All Premium/Quality Funds)
|
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and
short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
California Market Opportunity, California Quality Income and
California Select Quality
(i) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or
purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term
credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or
write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that
the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the
purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options
within the limits described [in/under] Certain Trading
Strategies of The Fund Financial Futures and Options
Transactions.
(ii) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and
options except within the limits described in Certain
Trading Strategies of The Fund Financial Futures and
Options Transactions.*
Missouri Premium Income
(i) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or
purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term
credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or
write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that
the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the
purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options
that represent no more than 10% of the Funds total assets
and are otherwise within the limits described in Certain
Trading Strategies of The Fund Financial Futures and
Options Transactions.*
(ii) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and
options except for futures and options that represent no more
than 10% of the Funds total assets and are
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
40
otherwise within the limits described in Certain Trading
Strategies of The Fund Financial Futures and Options
Transactions.*
In connection with the elimination of the Current Fundamental
Policies relating to derivatives and short sales, as reflected
in 2(e) above, the Board has adopted the following New
Non-Fundamental Policies for each of the above Premium/Quality
Funds. The New Non-Fundamental Policies are contingent on
shareholder approval of the elimination of that Premium/Quality
Funds Current Fundamental Policies with respect to
derivatives and short sales. The New Non-Fundamental Polices are
as follows:
(i) The Fund may invest in derivative instruments in
pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include
financial futures contracts, swap contracts (including interest
rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures,
options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments.
Nuveen Asset Management uses derivatives to seek to enhance
return, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed
income securities or as a substitute for a position in the
underlying asset.
(ii) The Fund may not sell securities short, unless the
Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in
kind and amount to the securities sold at no added cost, and
provided that transactions in options, futures contracts,
options on futures contracts, or other derivative instruments
are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.
(iii) The Fund may not enter into futures contracts or
related options or forward contracts, if more than 30% of the
Funds net assets would be represented by futures contracts
or more than 5% of the Funds net assets would be committed
to initial margin deposits and premiums on futures contracts and
related options.
|
|
|
|
(f)
|
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investment
in Other Investment Companies (All Premium/Quality Funds)
|
The Premium/Quality Funds do not have specific restrictions as
to investments in other investment companies. However, each such
Premium/Quality Fund has an investment policy which only permits
investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments
and thereby prohibits investment in other investment companies.
The general restriction that only permits investment in
municipal obligations and temporary investments is as follows:
(i) The Fund may not invest in securities other than
[state] Municipal Obligations and temporary investments[,] as
described [in/under] Investment Objective and Policies [of
the Funds] Portfolio Investments.*
In addition, with respect to each Funds ability to invest
in other investment companies, the Board has adopted a New
Non-Fundamental Policy to be implemented upon the elimination of
that Premium/Quality Funds Current Fundamental Policy
prohibiting
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
41
investments in other investment companies. The proposed New
Non-Fundamental Policy relating to investments in other
investment companies is as follows:
(i) The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Managed Assets in
securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies
(including exchange-traded funds (often referred to as
ETFs)) that invest primarily in municipal securities
of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.
Board
Recommendation
The Board believes that eliminating the Current Fundamental
Policies and adopting the New Investment Policies gives the
Adviser flexibility to rapidly respond to continuing
developments in the municipal market and would enhance the
portfolio managers ability to meet each Affected Municipal
Funds investment objective. In addition, the Board
believes that the proposed changes will create consistent
investment policies for all Nuveen municipal bond funds and will
help to promote operational efficiencies.
The Board recommends that shareholders of each Affected
Municipal Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Current
Fundamental Policy and vote to approve each New Fundamental
Policy.
Audit
Committee Report
The Audit Committee of each Board is responsible for the
oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and
reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audit of
the financial statements, of each Fund, (2) the quality and
integrity of the Funds financial statements and
(3) the independent registered public accounting
firms qualifications, performance and independence. In its
oversight capacity, the committee reviews each Funds
annual financial statements with both management and the
independent registered public accounting firm and the committee
meets periodically with the independent registered public
accounting firm and internal auditors to consider their
evaluation of each Funds financial and internal controls.
The committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace
each Funds independent registered public accounting firm.
The committee is currently composed of five Independent Board
Members and operates under a written charter adopted and
approved by each Board. Each committee member meets the
independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the
New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex, Section 10A of the
1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
The committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held
discussions with management and each Funds independent
registered public accounting firm. The committee has also
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with
management. Management has represented to the independent
registered public accounting firm that each Funds
financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The committee has also discussed
with the independent registered public accounting firm the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing
Standards (SAS) No. 114, (The Auditors
Communication With Those Charged With Governance), which
supersedes SAS No. 61 (Communication with Audit
Committees). Each Funds independent registered public
accounting firm provided to the committee the written disclosure
required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning
Independence), and the committee discussed with representatives
of the independent registered public accounting firm their
firms independence. As provided in the Audit Committee
42
Charter, it is not the committees responsibility to
determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced
above do not ensure, that each Funds financial statements
are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
Based on the committees review and discussions with
management and the independent registered public accounting
firm, the representations of management and the report of the
independent registered public accounting firm to the committee,
the committee has recommended that the audited financial
statements be included in each Funds Annual Report.
The current members of the committee are:
Robert P. Bremner
Jack B. Evans
David J. Kundert
William J. Schneider
Terence J. Toth

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and
Procedures. Generally, the audit committee must
approve each Funds independent registered public
accounting firms engagements (i) with the Fund for
audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Adviser and
Adviser Entities for non-audit services if the engagement
relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of
the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the
independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund and
the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations
and financial reporting of each Fund), such engagements will be
(i) pre-approved by the audit committee if they are
expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000;
(ii) reported to the audit committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be
for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and
(iii) reported to the audit committee at the next audit
committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under
$5,000.
The audit committee has approved in advance all audit services
and non-audit services that the independent registered public
accounting firm provided to each Fund and to the Adviser and
Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial
reporting of each Fund). None of the services rendered by the
independent registered public accounting firm to each Fund or
the Adviser or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the audit
committee pursuant to the pre-approval exception under
Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of
Regulation S-X.
Additional
Information
Appointment
of the Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
Each Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as
independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books
and records of each Fund for its current fiscal year. A
representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at
the Annual Meetings to make a statement, if such representative
so desires, and to respond to shareholders questions.
Ernst & Young LLP has informed each Fund that it has
no direct or indirect material financial interest in the Funds,
Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by
Nuveen.
Section 16(a)
Beneficial Interest Reporting Compliance
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the
1934 Act require Board Members and officers, the Adviser,
affiliated persons of the Adviser and persons who own more than
10% of a registered class of a Funds equity securities to
file forms reporting their affiliation with that Fund and
reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that
Funds shares with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange
or NYSE Amex, as applicable. These persons and entities are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of
these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that its
Board Members and officers, Adviser and affiliated persons of
the Adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a)
filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the
knowledge of management of the Funds, no shareholder of a Fund
owns more than 10% of a registered class of a Funds equity
securities, except as provided in Appendix B.

About the Adviser
The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago,
Illinois 60606, serves as investment adviser and manager for

formed by investors led by
50
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC (MDP), a private
equity investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Windy City is

Rule 14a-8
of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that
Fund, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not
later than June 7, 2011. A shareholder wishing to provide
notice in the manner prescribed by

Rule 14a-8
must, pursuant to each Funds By-Laws, submit such written
notice to the Fund not later than August 22, 2011 or prior
to August 5, 2011. Timely submission of a proposal does not
mean that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

Communications
Fund shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any
individual Board Member should write to the attention of Lorna
Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen
Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60606. The letter should indicate that you are a Fund
shareholder and note the fund or funds that you own. If the
communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so
indicates it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a
communication does not indicate a specific Board Member it will
be sent to the Independent Chairman and the outside counsel to
the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed
appropriate by such persons.
Expenses
of Proxy Solicitation
With respect to routine items, such as the election of Board
Members, the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the
enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and proxy statement and all
other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will
be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number of shareholder
accounts. For non-routine items, such as updating investment
policies, the costs in connection with the solicitation of
proxies will be paid by the Funds subject to such non-routine
items based on the number of shareholder accounts. Additional
solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or
employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by dealers and their
representatives. Any additional costs of solicitation will be
paid by the Fund that requires additional solicitation.

General
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason
to believe that any other items of business will be presented at
the Annual Meetings. However, if other matters are properly
presented to the Annual Meetings for a vote, the proxies will be
voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters
in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the
Fund.
A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at
each Annual Meeting will be available at the offices of the
Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, for
inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours
beginning ten days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will
necessitate adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional
expense. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move
for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal if they
determine that adjournment and further solicitation is
52
reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under
each Funds By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting with
respect to a matter requires the affirmative vote of a majority
of the shares entitled to vote on the matter present in person
or represented by proxy at the meeting.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO
FILL IN, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE
IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.
