Important Notice
to Fund Shareholders
OCTOBER 14,
2008
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 one or more important matters
affecting your investment in the Fund:
|
|
|
|
(i)
|
Updated Investment Policies (all Municipal Funds, excluding
Insured Funds). 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)
|
Elimination of certain Fundamental Investment Policies and
Approval of New Fundamental Investment Policy (Insured Funds
only). Insured Fund shareholders are being asked
to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment
policies and to approve a new fundamental policy. These changes
are designed to give the Insured Funds important flexibility to
respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market
while maintaining their current focus on insured bonds backed by
insurers with solid credit ratings. In addition, the Insured
Funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, up to date set
of investment policies.
|
|
|
|
|
(iii)
|
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 Municipal Funds? |
|
A. |
|
The potential benefits to common shareholders are: |
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced ability of the Municipal Funds to generate
attractive tax-free income while retaining their focus 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 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 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 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. |
|
Why are shareholders of the Insured Funds being asked to
approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment
policies and to approve a new fundamental investment policy? |
|
|
|
A. |
|
As a result of conditions facing the bond insurance market,
shareholders are being asked to approve the elimination of
certain fundamental investment policies that are restricting, or
may be expected in the future to restrict, each Insured
Funds ability to effectively maintain its existing focus
on insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.
In connection with eliminating the respective fundamental
investment policies, shareholders are being asked to approve a
new fundamental investment policy that will provide the Insured
Funds with flexibility to respond to on-going developments in
the bond insurance market, while ensuring that the Insured Funds
continue to invest substantially all (at least 80%) of their
investments in insured bonds backed by insurers with solid
credit ratings. |
|
|
|
Q. |
|
What happens if shareholders dont approve the
elimination of the fundamental investment policies and/or
dont approve the new fundamental investment policies? |
|
A. |
|
A Municipal Fund or an Insured Fund will not be able to
implement the new investment policies discussed above. The
Municipal Fund or Insured Fund would likely incur further
expenses to solicit additional shareholder participation, and
may experience potential disruptions to its investment
operations. The Municipal Funds and Insured Funds
Boards 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) 864-0471.
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.

Fund and collectively, the Funds), of
proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be
held in the 31st floor conference room of Nuveen

all adjournments thereof.
On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a

choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the

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.

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 two Board Member nominees to be elected by
holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (except California
Value),
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 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 California Value, a change will only be
consummated if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund. For purposes
of determining the approval of the elimination of the
7
fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new
fundamental investment policies for the Insured Funds and
Municipal Funds, except California Value, 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.
8
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of
business on September 22, 2008 will be entitled to one vote
for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each
fractional share held. As of September 22, 2008, the shares
of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

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, 2007 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, 2007 is set
forth in Appendix A. On December 31, 2007, Board
Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned
approximately 560,000 shares of all funds managed by NAM
(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 22, 2008, each Board Members individual
beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1%
of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of September 22,
2008, the Board Members and executive officers as a group
beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of
each Fund. As of September 22, 2008, no shareholder
beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any
Fund.
As a result of the transaction on November 13, 2007 in
which Windy City Investments, Inc. (Windy City)
acquired Nuveen, Mr. Amboians outstanding options to
acquire shares of Nuveen common stock under various Nuveen stock
option plans were cashed out and his outstanding shares of
restricted stock (and deferred restricted stock) granted under
Nuveens equity incentive plans became fully vested and
were converted into the right to receive a cash payment. In
connection with the transaction, Mr. Amboian paid
$30 million to acquire interests in Windy City Investments
Holdings, L.L.C., the parent company of Windy City.
Compensation
Prior to January 1, 2008, for all Nuveen funds, Independent
Board Members received a $95,000 annual retainer plus (a) a
fee of $3,000 per day for attendance in person or by telephone
at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of
$2,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone
where 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 $1,500 per meeting for
attendance in person or by telephone at an audit committee
meeting; (d) a fee of $1,500 per meeting for attendance in
person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee meeting;
(e) a fee of $1,500 per meeting for attendance in person at
a non-regularly scheduled compliance, risk management and
regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person
attendance is required and $1,000 per meeting for attendance by
telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not
required, except that the chairperson of the compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee may at any time
designate a non-regularly scheduled meeting of the committee as
an in-person meeting for the purposes of fees to be paid;
(f) a fee of $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or
by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and
(g) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance in person
at all other committee meetings (including shareholder meetings)
on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held
in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per meeting
for attendance by telephone or in person at such 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 Lead Independent
Director received $25,000, the chairpersons of the audit
committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory
oversight committee received $7,500 and the chairperson of the
nominating and governance committee
19
received $5,000 as additional retainers to the annual retainer
paid to such individuals. Independent Board Members also
received a fee of $2,000 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 were organized, the nominating and governance
committee at the time of formation determined compensation to be
paid to the members of such committee, however, in general such
fees were $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person at any ad
hoc committee meeting where in-person attendance was required
and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in
person at such meetings where in-person attendance was not
required. The annual retainer, fees and expenses were 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.
Effective January 1, 2008, for all funds in the Nuveen
complex, Independent Board Members receive 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 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 and $250 per meeting for
attendance by telephone or in person at such 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 and
the Lead Independent Director, if any, receives $35,000, the
chairpersons of the audit 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 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 committee, 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
20
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.
21
The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, the
aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including
deferred fees) for service on the boards of the Nuveen open-end
and closed-end funds managed by the Adviser for the last
calendar year.

Committees
The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the
executive committee, the dividend committee, the compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee, the audit
committee and the nominating and governance committee.
John P. Amboian, Robert P. Bremner, Chair, and Judith M.
Stockdale serve as current members of the executive committee of
each Fund. The executive committee, which meets between regular
meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the
powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of
the executive committee, unless otherwise specifically
authorized by the full Board, is limited to: (i) emergency
matters where assembly of the full Board is impracticable (in
which case management will take all reasonable steps to quickly
notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the
executive committee) and (ii) matters of an administrative
or ministerial nature. The number of executive committee
meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown
in Appendix B.
Jack B. Evans, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Terence J. Toth
are current members of the dividend committee of each Fund. The
dividend committee is authorized to declare distributions on the
Funds shares including, but not limited to, regular and
special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income
distributions. The number of dividend committee meetings of each
Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in
Appendix B.
William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Chair, Judith M.
Stockdale and Carole E. Stone are current members of the
compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee
of each Fund. The compliance, risk management and regulatory
oversight committee is responsible for the oversight of
compliance issues, risk management, and other regulatory matters
affecting the Funds which are not otherwise the jurisdiction of
the other Board committees. The number of compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee meetings of each
Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in
Appendix B.
Each Funds 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 and American Stock Exchange, as applicable. Robert P.
Bremner, Jack B. Evans, David J. Kundert, Chair, William J.
Schneider and Terence J. Toth are current members of the
audit committee of each Fund. The audit committee is responsible
for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and
reporting policies, procedures and practices and the audit of
the financial statements of the Funds, (2) the quality and
integrity of the financial statements of the Funds and
(3) the independent registered public accounting
firms qualifications, performance and independence. The
audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the
Funds independent registered public accounting firm. Based
on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the
Board. The audit committee is also responsible for the oversight
of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the internal
Valuation Group. The Boards have adopted a written Audit
Committee Charter that conforms to the listing standards of the
New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange. A copy of
the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy statement
as Appendix C. The number of audit committee meetings of
each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in
Appendix B.
Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee that is
composed entirely of Independent Board Members who are also
independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange or
American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable. Robert
P. Bremner,
26
Chair, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert,
William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Carole E. Stone and
Terence J. Toth are current members of the nominating and
governance committee of each Fund. The purpose of the nominating
and governance committee is to seek, identify and recommend to
the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to
each Funds Board. In addition, the committee oversees
matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of
Board performance and processes, and assignment and rotation of
committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance
guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable.
The committee operates under a written charter adopted and
approved by the Boards of each Fund, a copy of which is
available on the Funds website at
www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The number of
nominating and governance committee meetings of each Fund held
during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B.
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources
for recommendations of qualified candidates, including current
Board Members, employees of the Adviser, current shareholders of
the Funds, third party sources and any other persons or entities
that may be deemed necessary or desirable by the committee.
Shareholders of the Funds who wish to nominate a candidate to
their Funds Board should mail information to the attention
of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen
Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60606. This information must include evidence of Fund ownership
of the person or entity recommending the candidate, a full
listing of the proposed candidates education, experience,
current employment, date of birth, names and addresses of at
least three professional references, information as to whether
the candidate is an interested person (as such term
is defined in the 1940 Act) in relation to the Fund and such
other information that would be helpful to the nominating and
governance committee in evaluating the candidate. All
satisfactorily completed information regarding candidates will
be forwarded to the chairman of the nominating and governance
committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board
Members. Recommendations for candidates to the Board will be
evaluated in light of whether the number of Board members is
expected to change and whether the Board expects any vacancies.
All nominations from Fund shareholders will be acknowledged,
although there may be times when the committee is not actively
recruiting new Board members. In those circumstances nominations
will be kept on file until active recruitment is under way.
The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate
standards and requirements for nominations to the Board. In
considering a candidates qualifications, each candidate
must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills
and experience, time availability and, if qualifying as an
Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the
Adviser or other service providers. These experience
requirements may vary depending on the current composition of
the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of
skills and experience, in the aggregate. All candidates must
meet high expectations of personal integrity, governance
experience and professional competence that are assessed on the
basis of personal interviews, recommendations, or direct
knowledge by committee members. The committee may use any
process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating
candidates, which process may include, without limitation,
personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by
the candidates and third party references. There is no
difference in the manner in which the nominating and governance
committee evaluates candidates when the candidate is submitted
by a shareholder. The nominating and governance committee
reserves the right to make the final selection regarding the
nomination of any prospective Board member.
27
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 B. 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/etf/products/fundgovernance.aspx.
28

Approval
of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and
Approval of New Fundamental Policies for each Municipal
Fund
|
The 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
(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 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 to you as a Fund shareholder of the New
Investment Policies are:
|
|
|
enhanced ability of the Municipal Funds to generate attractive
levels of tax-exempt income, while retaining the 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.
|
33
In order to implement the New Investment Policies, each
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 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
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 Policy is contingent on shareholder
approval of the elimination of the corresponding Current
Fundamental Policy.
The Board has unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends
the approval by shareholders of each Municipal Fund, the
elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies of the Municipal
Funds. In connection with eliminating the Current Fundamental
Policies, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously
recommends the approval by shareholders of each Municipal Fund
of the New Fundamental Policies, described below. In addition,
the Board has approved certain new non-fundamental policies,
described below (the New Non-Fundamental Policies).

better) by Moodys or Standard and Poors, except that

b.

Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Investments in
Municipal Securities
|
It is proposed that the following New Fundamental Policy replace
each Municipal Funds Current Fundamental Policies
(1) referenced in 2a. above. Implementation of the
following New Fundamental Policy by each Municipal Fund is
contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of each
Municipal Funds Current Fundamental Policies. The proposed
New Fundamental Policy with respect to each Funds
investments in municipal securities is as follows:
All Municipal Funds
(1) 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
36
(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 Municipal Fund. The New Non-Fundamental Policies will be
implemented upon the elimination of the Current Fundamental
Policies described in 2a. above for the Municipal Funds that
currently have different fundamental policies relating to
investing in investment grade securities. The New
Non-Fundamental Policies relating to investing in investment
grade securities are as follows:
(1) 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 (NAM).
(2) 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 NAM.
(3) 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 NAM.
Related to these changes, the Board of each Municipal Fund has
also amended and standardized the description of municipal
securities or municipal obligations in which a
Municipal Fund may invest to include various types of municipal
securities. The new description, tailored as appropriate to each
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 from federal [and State] income tax[es]
(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 non-callable; 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
37
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
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to commodities that
are proposed to be eliminated are as follow:
Arizona Premium Income, California Investment Quality,
California Market Opportunity, California Value, California
Performance Plus, California Quality Income, California Select
Quality, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Quality Income,
Maryland Premium Income, Michigan Premium Income, Michigan
Quality Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey
Premium Income, Pennsylvania Investment Quality and Texas
Quality Income
(1) 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.*
California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income,
Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri
Premium Income, North Carolina Premium Income, Ohio Quality
Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 and Virginia Premium
Income
(1) 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.*
d. Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to
Commodities
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 2c above. The proposed
New Fundamental Policy is as follows:
All Premium/Quality Funds
(1) 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
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
38
or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by
physical commodities).
e. Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to
Derivatives and Short Sales
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and
short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
Arizona Premium Income, California Investment Quality,
California Market Opportunity, California Performance Plus,
California Quality Income, California Select Quality, Florida
Investment Quality, Florida Quality Income, Maryland Premium
Income, Michigan Premium Income, Michigan Quality Income, New
Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Premium Income,
Pennsylvania Investment Quality and Texas Quality Income
(1) 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.*
(2) 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.*
California Value
(1) 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, and except for
transactions involving options within the limits described under
Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund
Financial Futures and Options Transactions.*
California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income,
Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri
Premium Income, North Carolina Premium Income, Ohio Quality
Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 and Virginia Premium
Income
(1) 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.*
(2) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options
that represent no more than 10% of the Funds total assets
and are otherwise within the limits described in
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
39
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 2c 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:
(1) 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. NAM
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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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
|
The Current Fundamental Policies of the Premium/Quality Funds
relating to investments in other investment companies that are
proposed to be eliminated are noted below. The Premium/Quality
Funds do not have specific restrictions as to investments in
other investment companies. However, each 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:
All Premium/Quality Funds, except California Value
(1) 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.*
California Value
(1) The Fund may not invest in securities other than
California Municipal Obligations and temporary investments, as
those terms are defined [in the Funds Prospectus.]

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 that
only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary
investments. The proposed New Non-Fundamental Policy relating to
investments in other investment companies is as follows:
(1) 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 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 Municipal Fund
vote to approve the elimination of each Current Fundamental
Policy and vote to approve each New Fundamental Policy.

Approval
of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and
Approval of New Fundamental Policy for Each Insured
Fund
|
The Insured Funds have adopted certain fundamental investment
policies, as described below (together, Insured
Fundamental Policies, each an Insured Fundamental
Policy), that can only be changed by shareholder vote. The
Insured Fundamental Policies adopted by the Insured Funds
reflected industry conditions present in the municipal bond
market at the time of the inception of each Fund.
Since that time, however, deterioration in the credit quality of
securities backed by sub-prime residential mortgages has
disrupted many markets and companies, including bond insurers,
who in addition to insuring municipal bonds, have also provided
guarantees on these mortgage-related securities. As a result,
the financial strength ratings of certain municipal bond
insurers have come under greater scrutiny. The ratings assigned
to some municipal bond insurers either have been downgraded or
are being reviewed for possible downgrades by certain of the
primary ratings agencies.
Additionally, all of Nuveens municipal closed-end funds
are seeking to adopt a uniform, up to date set of
investment policies, as described in 2 above. 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.
As a result of these conditions facing the bond insurance market
and the developments of the municipal market, the Board
unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the
41
approval by each Insured Funds shareholders of the
elimination of certain Insured Fundamental Policies of the
Insured Funds that are restricting, or may be expected in the
future to restrict, each Insured Funds ability to
effectively make investments. In connection with eliminating the
Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved,
and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of a new
fundamental policy, described below (each a New Insured
Fundamental Policy). Implementation of the New Insured
Fundamental Policy, with respect to each Insured Fund, is
contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of such
Insured Funds Insured Fundamental Policy or Insured
Fundamental Policies, as applicable. In addition, the Board has
approved new non-fundamental policies, described below (the
New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies and together
with the New Insured Fundamental Policy, the New Insured
Policies). The New Insured Policies are designed to
provide portfolio managers with important flexibility to respond
to on-going developments in the bond insurance market, while
ensuring the Insured Funds continue to invest substantially all
(at least 80%) of their municipal investments in insured bonds
backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.

a.
|
Elimination of Insured Fundamental Policies Relating to
Investments in Insured Municipal Securities
|
The Insured Fundamental Policies of each Insured Fund that are
proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
Insured California Dividend Advantage
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds
that are exempt from regular federal and California income taxes
and that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely
payment of principal and interest thereon.
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium
Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
(1) Except to the extent the Fund invests in temporary
investments, the Fund will invest all of its assets in
tax-exempt [State] Municipal Obligations which are either
covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of
principal and interest thereon or backed by an escrow or trust
account containing sufficient U.S. Government or
U.S. Government agency securities to ensure timely payment
of principal and interest.
(2) Each insured [State] Municipal Obligation held by the
Fund will either be (1) covered by an insurance policy
applicable to a specific security, whether obtained by the
issuer of the security or a third party at the time of original
issuance (Original Issue Insurance) by the Fund or a
third party subsequent to the time of original issuance
(Secondary Market Insurance), or (2) covered by
a master municipal insurance policy purchased by the Fund
(Portfolio Insurance).
(3) The Fund will only obtain policies of portfolio
insurance issued by insurers whose claims-paying ability is
rated Aaa by Moodys Investors Services, Inc.
(Moodys) or AAA by
Standard & Poors Corporation
(Standard & Poors).
(4) Municipal obligations backed by an escrow account or
trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the
Funds assets.
42
Insured California Tax-Free Advantage, Insured Florida Tax
Free Advantage and Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets
attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding (Managed
Assets) in a portfolio of municipal bonds that pay
interest that is exempt from regular federal and [State] income
tax and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to
individuals [and are exempt from the Florida intangible personal
property tax] (Insured Florida Tax Free Advantage only).
(2) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets
attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding (Managed
Assets) in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are covered
by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and
interest thereon.
|
|
|
|
b.
|
Approval of the New Insured Fundamental Policy Relating to
Investments in Insured Municipal Securities
|
In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies,
the Board of each Insured Fund has unanimously approved, and
recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund approve, a New
Insured Fundamental Policy relating to each Insured Funds
policy of investing 80% (or greater) of its assets in a
portfolio of municipal securities or related investments that
pay tax-exempt interest. The New Insured Fundamental Policy will
replace each Insured Funds Insured Fundamental Policy or
Insured Fundamental Policies, as described above. Implementation
of the New Insured Fundamental Policy is contingent on
shareholder approval of the elimination of the Insured
Fundamental Policy or Insured Fundamental Policies for each
Insured Fund, as applicable. The New Insured Fundamental Policy
is as follows:
(1) 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 preferred shares outstanding
(Managed Assets), in municipal securities and other
related investments that pay interest exempt from federal and
[State] income taxes (municipal securities) and are
covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of
principal and interest thereon.
New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies
In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies,
the Board of each Insured Fund has also adopted New Insured
Non-Fundamental Policies, as described below. To the extent that
the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies conflict with the
existing Insured Fundamental Policies, implementation of the New
Insured Non-Fundamental Policies is contingent on shareholder
approval of the elimination of the Insured Fundamental Policies.
To the extent such Insured Non-Fundamental Policies do not
conflict with the existing Insured Fundamental Policies, the New
Insured Non-Fundamental Policies have already been implemented.
By eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies and adopting the
New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies, each Insured Fund would be
able to change these policies in the future with the approval of
the Board, without the need to obtain prior shareholder approval.
43
The New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies that the Board of each
Insured Fund has adopted are as follows:
(1) Inverse floaters whose underlying bonds are covered by
insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and
interest thereon are included in the above-referenced 80% test.
In addition, for the 80% test above, insurers must have a
claims-paying ability rated at least A by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) at the time
of purchase or at the time the bond is insured while in the
portfolio.
(2) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at
least 80% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities covered
by insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated AA
or better by an NRSRO at the time of purchase; municipal
securities rated AA or better by an NRSRO, or that are unrated
but judged to be of comparable quality by the Funds
investment adviser, at the time of purchase; or municipal bonds
backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient
U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities
to ensure timely payment of principal and interest.
(3) Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to
20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities covered by
insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated BBB
or better by an NRSRO; or municipal securities rated at least
BBB or better by an NRSRO, or that are unrated but judged to be
of comparable quality by the Funds investment adviser, at
the time of purchase.
c. Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to
Commodities
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to commodities
that are proposed to be eliminated are as follow:
Insured California Premium Income and Insured Florida Premium
Income
(1) 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 in Certain Trading Strategies of the
Fund Financial Futures and Options
Transactions.*
Insured California Premium Income 2
(1) 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.*
d. Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to
Commodities
It is proposed that Insured California Premium Income, Insured
California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
adopt a New Insured Fundamental Policy with
The above referenced 80% test refers to the new
fundamental policy proposed in item 3(b).
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
44
respect to commodities. The adoption of the following New
Insured Fundamental Policy for each applicable Insured Fund is
contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that
Insured Funds Current Insured Fundamental Policy with
respect to commodities, as reflected in 3c above. The proposed
New Insured Fundamental Policy is as follows:
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium
Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
(1) 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
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives
and short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as
follows:
Insured California Premium Income and Insured Florida Premium
Income
(1) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, 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
Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund
Financial Futures and Options Transactions.*
(2) 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.*
Insured California Premium Income 2
(1) 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 Certain Trading Strategies
of The Fund Financial Futures and Options
Transactions.*
(2) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and 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.*
In connection with the elimination of the Current Insured
Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales, as
reflected in 3e above, the Board has adopted the following New
Insured Non-Fundamental Policies for each of Insured California
Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured
Florida Premium Income. The New
* References are to a Funds registration statement.
45
Insured Non-Fundamental Policies are contingent on shareholder
approval of the elimination of that Insured Funds Current
Fundamental Policies with respect to derivatives and short
sales. The New Insured Non-Fundamental Polices are as follows:
(1) 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.
(2) 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. NAM
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.
(3) 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.

|
Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investment
in Other Investment Companies
|
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies of Insured California
Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured
Florida Premium Income relating to investments in other
investment companies that are proposed to be eliminated are
noted below. Insured California Premium Income, Insured
California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
do not have specific restrictions as to investments in other
investment companies. However, each such 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:
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium
Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
(1) The Fund may not invest in securities other than
[state] Municipal Obligations and temporary investments, as
described in Investment Objective and Policies
Portfolio Investments.*
In addition, with respect to each Funds ability to invest
in other investment companies, the Board has adopted a New
Insured Non-Fundamental Policy to be implemented upon the
elimination of Insured California Premium Income, Insured
California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium
Incomes Current Fundamental Policy prohibiting

46
investments in other investment companies. The proposed New
Insured Non-Fundamental Policy relating to investments in other
investment companies is as follows:
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium
Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
(1) 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 Insured Fundamental
Policies and adopting the New Insured Policies gives the Adviser
flexibility to rapidly respond to continuing developments in the
bond insurance market and would enhance the portfolio
managers ability to meet each Insured Funds
investment objective and keep each Fund fully invested. While
the Board believes that the New Insured Policies give the
Adviser adequate flexibility under current market conditions, if
the market changes in the future, the Insured Funds may desire
to refine these parameters further and the Board may change the
New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies without shareholder
approval.
The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders of each
Insured Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Insured
Fundamental Policy and vote to approve each New Insured
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, and (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 Board Members and
operates under a written charter adopted and approved by each
Board, a copy of which is attached as Appendix C. Each
committee member meets the independence and experience
requirements, as applicable, of the New York Stock Exchange,
American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
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. 61
47
(Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by SAS
No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications). Each Funds
independent registered public accounting firm provided to the
committee the written disclosure required by Independence
Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions
with Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with
representatives of the independent registered public accounting
firm their firms independence. As provided in the Audit
Committee 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 Boards include the
audited financial statements in each Funds Annual Report.
The current members of the committee are:
Robert P. Bremner
Jack B. Evans (financial expert)
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 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 Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange or
American Stock Exchange, 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, investment adviser
and affiliated persons of the investment 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.

must, pursuant to each Funds By-Laws, submit such written
notice to the Fund not later than August 21, 2009 or prior

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 and so
indicates 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
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy,
accompanying notice and proxy statement will be paid by the
Funds pro rata 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.

a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received
instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an
annual report,
semi-annual
report or proxy statement, or for instructions as to how to
request a separate copy of such documents or as to how to
request a single copy if multiple copies of such documents are
received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the

General
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason
to believe that any other items of business will be presented at

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
reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under
each Funds By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting requires
the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
57
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.
