                              TO FUND SHAREHOLDERS
                                 JULY 26, 2005
 
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.   Pursuant to an investment management agreement between your Fund and Nuveen
     Asset Management ("NAM"), NAM has served as your Fund's investment adviser
     and has been responsible for the overall investment strategy of your Fund.
     NAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen").
     Nuveen is a publicly traded company and, until recently, was a
     majority-owned subsidiary of The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St.
     Paul Travelers").
 
     As part of St. Paul Travelers' previously announced three-part program to
     sell its entire equity interest in Nuveen (the "Sale"), St. Paul Travelers
     sold 39.3 million shares of Nuveen through a secondary public offering on
     April 12, 2005. Nuveen also repurchased $600 million of its shares from St.
     Paul Travelers. The repurchase of these shares is being completed through
     two steps -- a $200 million repurchase that closed on April 12, 2005, and a
     $400 million forward purchase (plus interest) that will settle later this
     year. Finally, St. Paul Travelers also entered into an agreement with two
     other parties to sell approximately 12 million common shares of Nuveen for
     settlement later this year. After completion of the Sale, Nuveen will
     emerge as a fully independent public company.
 
     Upon completion of the Sale, the investment management agreement between
     your Fund and NAM may be terminated. In order for NAM to continue to serve
     as investment adviser after the completion of the Sale, the shareholders of
     your Fund must approve a new investment management agreement. The enclosed
     Proxy Statement gives you additional information on the proposed new
     investment management agreement, as well as certain other matters. The
     Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund (the "Board," and each Director or
     Trustee, a "Board Member"), including those Board Members who are not
     affiliated with NAM, [unanimously] recommend that you vote FOR the approval
     of the new investment management agreement for your Fund.
 
     In addition, closed-end investment companies listed on a stock exchange,
     such as your Fund, are required to hold annual meetings to approve the
     election of Board Members. Your Fund is seeking shareholder approval to
     elect Board Members to serve on your Fund's Board. The Board Members of
     your Fund unanimously recommend that you vote FOR the nominees for the
     Board.
 
     Please refer to the Proxy Statement for a detailed explanation of the items
     you are being asked to vote on.
 
Q.   WHY IS A VOTE ON THE PROPOSED NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT REQUIRED?
 
A.   The completion of the Sale could be deemed to be an "assignment," as that
     term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), of the
     investment

 
management agreement between each Fund and NAM. As required by the 1940 Act,
under its terms, each investment management agreement would automatically
terminate in the event of its assignment. As a result, shareholder approval of a
new investment management agreement will permit NAM to continue to serve your
     Fund.
 
Q.   WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT APPROVE THE NEW INVESTMENT
     MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT?
 
A.   If the new investment management agreement is not approved, your Fund's
     Board will take such actions as it deems to be in the best interests of
     your Fund. This is discussed in more detail in the Proxy Statement.
 
Q.   HOW WILL THE SALE AFFECT ME AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER?
 
A.   Your investment in your Fund will not change as a result of the Sale. You
     will still own the same shares in the Fund, and the value of your
     investment will not change as a result of the Sale. The new investment
     management agreement, if approved by shareholders, will still be with NAM
     and the terms of the new investment management agreement are substantially
     identical to the terms of the original investment management agreement. In
     addition, the portfolio managers of your Fund will not change as a result
     of the new investment management agreement.
 
Q.   WILL THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE RATES BE THE SAME UPON THE APPROVAL OF
     THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT?
 
A.   Yes, the investment management fee rates will remain the same.
 
Q.   HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS SUGGEST THAT I VOTE IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEW
     INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT?
 
A.   After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund [unanimously]
     recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval of the new investment
     management agreement.
 
Q.   HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS SUGGEST THAT I VOTE IN CONNECTION WITH THE
     ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS?
 
A.   After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund unanimously recommends
     that you vote "FOR" the nominees for the Board.
 
Q.   WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
 
A.   Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon.
     Additionally, your immediate response will help save on the costs of any
     future solicitations for these shareholder votes. We encourage all
     shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund.
 
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 your financial advisor.
     Alternatively, you may call Nuveen at (800) 257-8787 weekdays from 8:00
     a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Central time.

 
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 to verify that you received your proxy materials, to
     answer any questions you may have about the proposals and to encourage you
     to vote.

(1) Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares ("MuniPreferred") are
    referred to as "Preferred Shares."
 
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. A majority
of the shares entitled to vote at each Meeting, represented in person or by
proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Meeting, except that for
the election of the two Board Member nominees to be elected by holders of
Preferred Shares of each Fund (except Municipal Value, Municipal Income, Select
Maturities, Select Portfolio, Select Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California
Portfolio and New York Portfolio), 33 1/3% 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 Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of
election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine
whether or not a quorum is present at the 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 purposes of determining the approval of the new investment management
agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted
against the proposal. For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal
to elect nominees for each of the Massachusetts Business Trusts, abstentions and
broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. For
purposes of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each
of the Minnesota Corporations, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the
effect of a vote against the election of Board Members. The details of the
proposals to be voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required
for approval of the proposals are set forth under the description of the
proposals below.
 
                           3

 
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 Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before the
day to which the 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 Preferred shareholders as a class who have voted on the proposal or in the
same proportion as the votes cast by all Preferred shareholders 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,

1.  APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
BACKGROUND
 
Under an investment management agreement between Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"
or the "Adviser") and each Fund (each, an "Original Investment Management
Agreement" and collectively, the "Original Investment Management Agreements"),
NAM has served as each Fund's investment adviser and has been responsible for
each Fund's overall investment strategy and its implementation. The date of each
Fund's Original Investment Management Agreement and the date on which it was
last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board is
provided in Appendix A. NAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments,
Inc. ("Nuveen"). Nuveen is a publicly traded company and, until recently, was a
majority-owned subsidiary of The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul
Travelers"), a publicly-traded company that is principally engaged in providing
property-liability insurance through subsidiaries.
 
                           6

 
On March 25, 2005, Nuveen and St. Paul Travelers announced that St. Paul
Travelers planned to implement a three-part program to sell its equity interest
in Nuveen (the "Sale"). As part of St. Paul Travelers' previously announced
three-part divestiture program, St. Paul Travelers sold 39.3 million shares of
Nuveen's approximately 94 million outstanding common shares through a secondary
public offering on April 12, 2005. Nuveen also repurchased $600 million of its
common shares from St. Paul Travelers at a price of $32.98 per share, or
approximately 18.2 million shares. The repurchase of these shares is being
completed through two steps--a $200 million repurchase that closed on April 12,
2005, and a $400 million forward purchase (plus interest) that will settle later
this year. St. Paul Travelers also entered into an agreement with two other
parties to sell approximately 12 million common shares of Nuveen for settlement
later this year. Upon the closing of the secondary offering and the initial
repurchase by Nuveen as well as the closing for the forward sale transactions
later this year, Nuveen will emerge as a fully independent public company.
 
Each Original Investment Management Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides for its
automatic termination in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940
Act). Any change in control of the Adviser is deemed to be an assignment. The
consummation of the Sale may be deemed a change in control of the Adviser and
therefore cause the automatic termination of each Original Investment Management
Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act.
 
In anticipation of the Sale, each Board met in person at a joint meeting of each
Fund's Board on May 10-12, 2005 for purposes of, among other things, considering
whether it would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders to
approve a new investment management agreement between the Fund and NAM (each, a
"New Investment Management Agreement" and collectively, the "New Investment
Management Agreements").
 
The 1940 Act requires that each New Investment Management Agreement be approved
by the Fund's shareholders in order for it to become effective. At the Board
meeting, and for the reasons discussed below (see "Board Considerations" below),
each Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not parties to the
Original Investment Management Agreements or New Investment Management
Agreements or who are not "interested persons" of the Funds or the Adviser as
defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Board Members"), unanimously approved
the New Investment Management Agreement and unanimously recommended its approval
by shareholders in order to assure continuity of investment advisory services to
the Fund after the Sale. In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the
New Investment Management Agreement, the Board will take such action as it deems
to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The form of the
New Investment Management Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix B.
 
COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND NEW INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
The terms of each New Investment Management Agreement, including fees payable to
the Adviser by the Fund thereunder, are substantially identical to those of the
Original Investment Management Agreement, except for the date of effectiveness.
There is no change in the fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser. If
approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Investment Management Agreement for
the Fund will expire on August 1, 2006, unless continued. Each New Investment
Management Agreement will continue in effect from year
 
                           7

 
to year thereafter if such continuance is approved for the Fund at least
annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder. Below is a comparison of certain terms of the Original Investment
Management Agreement to the terms of the New Investment Management Agreement.
 
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The investment management services to be
provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the New Investment Management
Agreements will be identical to those services currently provided by the Adviser
to each Fund under the Original Investment Management Agreements. Both the
Original Investment Management Agreements and New Investment Management
Agreements provide that the Adviser shall manage the investment and reinvestment
of the Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and
policies and limitations and administer the Fund's affairs to the extent
requested by and subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board. In addition,
the investment management services will be provided by the same Adviser
personnel under the New Investment Management Agreements as under the Original
Investment Management Agreements. The Adviser does not anticipate that the Sale
will have any adverse effect on the performance of its obligations under the New
Investment Management Agreements.
 
FEES. Under each Original Investment Management Agreement and New Investment
Management Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser an investment management fee
that consists of two components--a fund-level component, based only on the
amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level component,
based on the aggregate managed assets (which includes assets attributable to all
types of leverage used in leveraged funds) of all Nuveen-branded closed-end and
open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. The
investment management fee paid by each Fund equals the sum of the fund-level
component and complex-level component.
 
The fee schedules for the fund-level component and complex-level component to be
paid to the Adviser under the New Investment Management Agreements are identical
to the fund-level component and complex-level component paid to the Adviser
under the Original Investment Management Agreements. The annual fund-level
component for each Fund under the Original Investment Management Agreements and
the New Investment Management Agreements, the fees paid by each Fund to the
Adviser during each Fund's last fiscal year and the Fund's net assets as of May
1, 2005 are set forth in Appendix C to this Proxy Statement. The fee schedule
for the complex-level component is the same for each Fund under both the
Original Investment Management Agreements and New Investment Management
Agreements and is also set forth in Appendix C.
 
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Under each Original Investment Management Agreement and
each New Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser shall furnish office
facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services
(other than such services, if any, provided by the Fund's transfer agent) for
the Fund.
 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. The Original Investment Management Agreements and New
Investment Management Agreements provide that the Adviser will not be liable for
any loss sustained by reason of the purchase, sale or retention of any security,
whether or not such purchase, sale or retention shall have been based upon the
investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if
such recommendation shall have been selected with due care and in good faith,
except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or
 
                           8

 
gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the performance of its
obligations and duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under the Agreement.
 
CONTINUANCE. The Original Investment Management Agreement of each Fund
originally was in effect for an initial term and could be continued thereafter
for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at
least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. If the shareholders of a
Fund approve the New Investment Management Agreement for that Fund, the New
Investment Management Agreement will expire on August 1, 2006, unless continued.
The New Investment Management Agreement may be continued for successive one-year
periods if approved at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act.
 
TERMINATION. The Original Investment Management Agreement and New Investment
Management Agreement for each Fund provide that the Agreement may be terminated
at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Fund or Adviser on sixty
(60) days' written notice to the other party. A Fund may effect termination by
action of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice.
 
BOARD CONSIDERATIONS
 
At a meeting held on May 10-12, 2005, the Board of each Fund, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the New Investment Management
Agreement between each Fund and NAM.
 
To assist the Board in its evaluation of an advisory contract with NAM, the
Independent Board Members received a report in adequate time in advance of their
meeting which outlined, among other things, the services provided by NAM; the
organization of NAM, including the responsibilities of various departments and
key personnel; the Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance
compared to funds of similar investment objectives compiled by an independent
third party (a "Peer Group"); the profitability of NAM and certain industry
profitability analyses for advisers to unaffiliated investment companies; the
expenses of NAM in providing the various services; the advisory fees of NAM,
including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable funds
in its Peer Group as well as comparisons of NAM's management fees with the fees
NAM assesses to other types of investment products or accounts, if any; the soft
dollar practices of NAM; and the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons of
the Fund's expense ratios (after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its
Peer Group. This information supplements that received by the Board throughout
the year regarding Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition,
trade execution and sales activity.
 
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the
Independent Board Members provided, in advance of the meeting, a legal
memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Board Members under
the 1940 Act as well as the general principles of relevant state law in
reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in
such matters; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements
and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment
company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be
considered by the board in voting on advisory agreements.
 
                           9

 
At the Board meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from
the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials,
the Independent Board Members met privately with their legal counsel to review
the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the renewal of
the advisory contract. It is with this background that the Board Members
considered each New Investment Management Agreement with NAM. The Independent
Board Members, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors
set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission directives
relating to the renewal of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below,
the Board Members considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to
each Fund, including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the
services to be provided by NAM; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and
NAM; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by
NAM and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (d) the extent to
which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and (e) whether
fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
 
A.  NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
 
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, the Board
Members reviewed information concerning the types of services that NAM or its
affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Nuveen Funds; narrative
and statistical information concerning the Fund's performance record and how
such performance compares to the Fund's Peer Group; information describing NAM's
organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of
key personnel, and available resources. In the discussion of key personnel, the
Board Members received materials regarding the changes or additions in personnel
of NAM. The Board Members further noted the willingness of the personnel of NAM
to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board Members further
considered the quality of NAM's investment process in making portfolio
management decisions, including any refinements or improvements to the portfolio
management processes, enhancements to technology and systems that are available
to portfolio managers, and any additions of new personnel which may strengthen
or expand the research and investment capabilities of NAM. In their review, the
Board Members also noted that Nuveen won the Lipper Award for Best Fund Family:
Fixed Income-Large Asset Class, for 2004. Given the Board Members' experience
with the Funds, other Nuveen funds and NAM, the Board Members noted that they
were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the
organization, operations and personnel of NAM.
 
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of the administrative or non-advisory services provided. In this regard,
NAM provides the Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of,
and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Funds) and
officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
respective Fund. In addition to investment management services, NAM and its
affiliates provide each Fund with a wide range of services, including: preparing
shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; providing quarterly financial
statements; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service
providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board
materials for such meetings; providing legal support (such as helping to prepare
registration statements, amendments thereto and proxy statements and responding
to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Fund administrative tasks
necessary for the operation of the respective Fund (such as tax reporting
                           10

 
and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in evaluating the
administrative services, the Board Members considered, in particular, NAM's
policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and
regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations
governing compliance. The Board Members noted NAM's focus on compliance and its
compliance systems. In their review, the Board Members considered, among other
things, the additions of experienced personnel to NAM's compliance group and
modifications and other enhancements to NAM's computer systems. In addition to
the foregoing, the Board Members also noted that NAM outsources certain services
that cannot be replicated without significant costs or at the same level of
expertise. Such outsourcing has been a beneficial and efficient use of resources
by keeping expenses low while obtaining quality services.
 
In addition to the above, while the Board Members reviewed the variety of
additional services that NAM or its affiliates must provide to closed-end funds,
such as the Funds, the Independent Board Members determined that Nuveen's
commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its
closed-end funds is particularly noteworthy. In this regard, the Board Members
noted Nuveen's efforts to sponsor numerous forums for analysts and specialists
regarding the various Nuveen closed-end funds, its creation of a new senior
position dedicated to providing secondary market support services and enhancing
communications with investors and analysts, and its advertising and media
relations efforts designed to raise investor and analyst awareness of the
closed-end funds.
 
With respect to services provided to municipal funds, including the Funds, the
Board Members also noted, among other things, the enhancements NAM implemented
to its municipal portfolio management processes (e.g., the increased use of
benchmarks to guide and assess the performance of its portfolio managers); the
implementation of a risk management program; and the various initiatives being
undertaken to enhance or modify NAM's computer systems as necessary to support
the innovations of the municipal investment team (such as, the ability to assess
certain historical data in order to create customized benchmarks, perform
attribution analysis and facilitate the use of derivatives as hedging
instruments). With respect to certain of the Funds with a less seasoned
portfolio, the Board Members also noted the hedging program implemented for such
Funds and the team responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the
hedging procedures. The hedging program was designed to help maintain the
applicable Fund's duration with certain benchmarks.
 
Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that, overall, they were
satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected
to be provided) to the Funds under the Investment Management Agreements.
 
B.  THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND ADVISER
 
As previously noted, the Board received a myriad of performance information
regarding each Fund and its Peer Group. Among other things, the Board received
materials reflecting a Fund's historic performance and the Fund's performance
compared to its Peer Group. In evaluating the performance information, in
certain limited instances, the Board Members noted that the closest Peer Group
for a Fund still would not adequately reflect such Fund's investment objectives
and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such
Fund's performance with that of the Peer Group.
 
                           11

 
As noted above, the performance data included, among other things, the Fund's
performance relative to its peers. More specifically, a Fund's one-, three- and
five-year total returns (as applicable) for the periods ending December 31, 2004
were evaluated relative to the unaffiliated funds in its respective Peer Group
(including the returns of individual peers as well as the Peer Group average) as
well as additional performance information with respect to all funds in the Peer
Group. Based on their review, the Board Members considered the respective Fund's
absolute and relative investment performance over time had been satisfactory.
 
C.  FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
 
FEES AND EXPENSES. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Fund is
expected to bear, the Board Members considered the Fund's current management fee
structure and the Fund's expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as
compared with the fees and expense ratios of the unaffiliated funds in its Peer
Group. The Board Members reviewed the financial information of NAM, including
its respective revenues, expenses and profitability. In reviewing fees, the
Board Members, among other things, reviewed comparisons of the Fund's gross
management fees (fees after fund-level and complex-wide level breakpoints but
before reimbursement and fee waivers), net management fees (after breakpoints
and reimbursements and fee waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after
waivers) with those of the unaffiliated funds in the Peer Group and peer
averages. In this regard, the Board Members noted that the relative ranking of
the Nuveen Funds on fees and expenses was aided by the significant level of fee
reductions provided by the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules, and
the fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen for certain Funds launched
since 1999. The complex-wide breakpoint schedule was instituted in 2004 and is
described in further detail below in Section D entitled "Economies of Scale and
Whether Fee Levels reflect these Economics of Scale." In their review of the fee
and expense information provided, including, in particular, the expense ratios
of the unaffiliated funds in its respective Peer Group, the Board Members
determined that each Fund's net total expense ratio was within an acceptable
range compared to such peers.
 
COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS. The Board Members further compared
the fees of NAM to the fees NAM assessed for other types of clients investing in
municipal funds (such as municipal managed accounts). With respect to such
separately managed accounts, the advisory fees for such accounts are generally
lower than those charged to the comparable Funds. The Board Members noted,
however, the additional services that are provided and the costs incurred by
Nuveen in managing and operating registered investment companies, such as the
Funds, compared to individually managed separate accounts. For instance, as
described above, NAM and its affiliates provide numerous services to the Funds
including, but not limited to, preparing shareholder reports; providing daily
accounting; preparing quarterly financial statements; overseeing and
coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and
organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings;
providing legal support; and administering all other aspects of the Fund's
operations. Further, the Board Members noted the increased compliance
requirements for funds in light of new Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not required to
the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts. In addition to the
differences in services, the Board Members also considered, among other things,
the differences in product distribution, investment policies, investor profiles
and account sizes. Accordingly, the Board Members believe that the nature
                           12

 
and number of services provided to operate a Fund merit the higher fees than
those to separate managed accounts.
 
PROFITABILITY OF NAM. In conjunction with its review of fees, the Board Members
also considered NAM's profitability. The Board Members reviewed NAM's revenues,
expenses and profitability margins (on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis). In
reviewing profitability, the Board Members recognized that one of the most
difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of
allocating expenses. Accordingly, the Board Members reviewed NAM's assumptions
and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of
allocation used appeared reasonable but the Board noted the inherent limitations
in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board Members also
recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisers
is generally not publicly available.
 
Further, profitability may be affected by numerous factors including the types
of funds managed, expense allocations, business mix, etc. and therefore
comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent
available, the Board Members considered NAM's profit margin compared to the
profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies and/or
investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of their
financial results compiled by three independent third-party service providers.
The Board Members also reviewed the revenues, expenses and profit margins of
various unaffiliated advisory firms with similar amounts of assets under
management for the last year prepared by NAM. Based on their review, the Board
Members were satisfied that NAM's level of profitability from its relationship
with each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided.
 
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also
considered any other revenues paid to NAM as well as any indirect benefits (such
as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its affiliates are expected to
receive that are directly attributable to their management of the Funds, if any.
See Section E below for additional information. Based on their review of the
overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund, the Board Members determined
that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
 
D.  ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
 
In reviewing the compensation, the Board Members have long understood the
benefits of economies of scale as the assets of a fund grows and have sought to
ensure that shareholders share in these benefits. One method for shareholders to
share in economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee
schedules that reduce fees as fund assets grow. Accordingly, the Board Members
received and reviewed the schedules of advisory fees for each Fund, including
fund-level breakpoints thereto. In addition, after lengthy negotiations with
management, the Board in May, 2004 approved a complex-wide fee arrangement
pursuant to which fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The
complex-wide fee arrangement was introduced on August 1, 2004 and the Board
Members reviewed data regarding the reductions of fees for the Funds for the
period of August 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. In evaluating the complex-wide
fee arrangement, the Board Members considered, among other things, the historic
and expected fee savings to shareholders as assets grow, the amount of
 
                           13

 
fee reductions at various asset levels, and that the arrangement would extend to
all funds in the Nuveen complex. The Board Members also considered the impact,
if any, the complex-wide fee arrangement may have on the level of services
provided. Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that the breakpoint
schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement currently were acceptable and
desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders.
 
E.  INDIRECT BENEFITS
 
In evaluating fees, the Board Members also considered any indirect benefits or
profits NAM or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with
each Fund. In this regard, the Board Members considered any benefits from soft
dollar arrangements. The Board Members noted that although NAM manages a large
amount of assets, it has very little, if any, brokerage to allocate. This is due
to the fact that NAM typically manages the portfolios of the municipal funds in
the Nuveen complex and municipal bonds generally trade on a principal basis.
Accordingly, NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements and does
not pay excess brokerage commissions (or spreads on principal transactions) in
order to receive research services. In addition to soft dollar arrangements, the
Board Members also considered any other revenues, if any, received by NAM or its
affiliates. In this regard, the Board Members considered revenues received by
Nuveen for serving as agent for broker-dealers at its preferred trading desk and
for acting as co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end
exchange-traded funds.
 
F.  OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
 
Nuveen, until recently, was a majority-owned subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers.
As noted, St. Paul Travelers earlier this year announced its intention to divest
its equity stake in Nuveen. Nuveen is the parent of NAM. Pursuant to a series of
transactions, St. Paul Travelers has begun to reduce its interest in Nuveen
which will ultimately result in a change of control of Nuveen and therefore NAM.
As mandated by the 1940 Act, such a change in control would result in an
assignment of the original Investment Management Agreement with NAM and the
automatic termination of such agreement. Accordingly, the Board also considered
the approval of a New Investment Management Agreement with each Fund in light
of, and which would take effect upon, the anticipated change of control. More
specifically, the Board considered for each Fund a New Investment Management
Agreement on substantially identical terms to the existing Investment Management
Agreement, to take effect after the change of control has occurred and the
contract has been approved by Fund shareholders. In its review, the Board
considered whether the various transactions necessary to divest St. Paul
Travelers' interest will have an impact on the various factors they considered
in approving NAM, such as the scope and quality of services to be provided
following the change of control. In reviewing the St. Paul Travelers
transactions, the Board considered, among other things, the impact, if any, on
the operations and organizational structure of NAM; the possible benefits and
costs of the transactions to the respective Fund; the potential implications of
any arrangements used by Nuveen to finance certain of the transactions; the
ability of NAM to perform its duties after the transactions; whether a fee
structure or expense ratio would change; any changes to the current practices of
the Fund; any changes to the terms of the advisory agreement; and any
anticipated changes to the operations of NAM. Based on its review, the Board
determined that St. Paul Travelers'
 
                           14

 
divestiture would not affect the nature and quality of services provided by NAM,
the terms of the Investment Management Agreement, including the fees thereunder,
and would not materially affect the organization or operations of NAM.
Accordingly, the Board determined that their analysis of the various factors
regarding their approval of NAM would continue to apply after the change of
control.
 
G.  APPROVAL
 
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including a majority of
Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management
Agreements were fair and reasonable, that the respective NAM's fees are
reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund, that the renewal of
the NAM Investment Management Agreements should be approved and that the new,
post-change of control NAM Investment Management Agreements be approved and
recommended to shareholders.
 
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADVISER
 
NAM, a registered investment adviser, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
Founded in 1898, Nuveen and its affiliates had approximately $     billion in
assets under management as of           , 2005. Nuveen is a publicly traded
company and, until the consummation of the Sale, is a majority owned subsidiary
of St. Paul Travelers, 385 Washington Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102. Nuveen
is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol "JNC."
 
The principal occupation of the officers and directors of NAM who serve as
officers or Board Members of the Funds appears below under the headings "Board
Nominees/Board Members" and "The Officers." Such information for the remaining
officers and directors of NAM is shown in Appendix D. The business address of
NAM, Nuveen and each principal executive officer and director of NAM is 333 West
Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.
 
Board Member Schwertfeger sold           shares of Class A Stock of Nuveen on
the New York Stock Exchange since November 1, 2003. Mr. Schwertfeger received
$          in exchange for his shares of Nuveen sold.
 
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
 
To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, the New Investment
Management Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund, with the Common and Preferred shareholders voting
together as a single class. The "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting

(1) The numbers include share equivalents of certain Nuveen funds in which the
    Board Member is deemed to be invested pursuant to the Deferred Compensation
    Plan for Independent Board Members as more fully described below.
 
On December 31, 2004, Board Members and executive officers as a group
beneficially owned 1,196,807 shares of all funds managed by the Adviser
(includes deferred units described below and shares held by executive officers
in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each Board Member's individual
beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of each class of shares for each Fund. As of May 31, 2005,
the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than
1% of the outstanding Shares of each Fund. As of May 31, 2005, no shareholder
beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund.
 
COMPENSATION
 
For all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members receive an $85,000 annual
retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for attendance in person or by
telephone at a regularly scheduled
 
                           24

 
meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person where
such in-person attendance is required and $500 per day 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 $1,000 per day for
attendance in person at an audit committee or compliance, risk management and
regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person attendance is required
and $500 per day for compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight
committee attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not
required and $750 per day for audit committee attendance by telephone or in
person where in-person attendance is not required; (d) a fee of $500 per day for
attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee;
and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person at all other committee
meetings (including ad hoc committee meetings and shareholder meetings) on a day
on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held in which in-person
attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance by telephone or in person
at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required, plus, in each case,
expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the payments
described above, the chairperson of each committee of the Board (except the
dividend committee and executive committee) receives $5,000 as an addition to
the annual retainer paid to such individuals. When ad hoc committees are
organized, the Board may provide for additional compensation to be paid to the
members of such committees. 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. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected
to defer at least a portion of his or her fees. Each of the Funds except
Municipal Income and Select Maturities are Participating Funds under the
Deferred Compensation Plan.
 
The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Adviser, 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 calendar year ended 2004. Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who
is an interested person of the Funds, does not receive any compensation from the
Funds or any Nuveen funds.

Nuveen maintains a charitable matching contributions program to encourage the
active support and involvement of individuals in the civic activities of their
community. The Independent Board Members of the funds managed by the Adviser are
eligible to participate in the matching contributions program of Nuveen. Under
the matching contributions program, Nuveen will match the personal contributions
of a Board Member to Section 501(c)(3) organizations up to an aggregate maximum
amount of $10,000 during any calendar year.
 
COMMITTEES
 
The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the executive committee,
the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, the dividend
committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight
committee.
 
Robert P. Bremner, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, serve
as 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
 
                           27

 
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 attached to the proxy statement as Appendix E.
 
Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, are current
members of the dividend committee of each Fund. The dividend committee is
authorized to declare distributions on the Fund's 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 attached to the proxy statement as Appendix E.
 
Lawrence H. Brown, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider,
Chair, and Judith M. Stockdale 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. As part of its duties regarding compliance matters, the committee
was responsible during 2004 for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The number of compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee meetings of each Fund held during
its last fiscal year is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix E.
 
Each Fund's Board has an audit committee, established in accordance with Section
3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),
composed of Independent Board Members who are "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,
Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, Chair, William J. Schneider and Eugene S.
Sunshine 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, processes 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 auditors' qualifications,
performance and independence. The audit committee reviews the work and any
recommendations of the Funds' independent auditors. Based on such review, it is
authorized to make recommendations to the Board. Commencing in 2005, the audit
committee is responsible for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The Boards adopted an 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 F. The number of audit committee meetings of
each Fund held during its last full fiscal year is attached to the proxy
statement as Appendix E.
 
Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of Board
Members who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) of the Funds and who are "independent" as defined by New York Stock
Exchange or American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable. Robert P.
Bremner, Chair, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J.
Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale and Eugene S. Sunshine 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
Fund's Board. In addition, the committee oversees matters of corporate
governance, including the evaluation of Board
                           28

 
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, a copy of which is attached to the proxy
statement as Appendix G. The nominating and governance committee charter is also
available on the Funds' website at
http://www.nuveen.com/mf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The number of nominating
and governance committee meetings of each Fund held during its last full fiscal
year is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix E.
 
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for
recommendations of qualified Board members, 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 Fund's 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 candidate's 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 candidate's
qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including
relevant skills and experience, time availability and, if qualifying as a
non-"interested person" 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 nominees when the nominee 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.
 
The number of regular quarterly meetings held by the Board of each Fund and the
number of special meetings held by the Board of each Fund during its last fiscal
year is attached to the
 
                           29

 
proxy statement as Appendix E. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member
attended 75% or more of each Fund's 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.

APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Each Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public
accounting firm, as independent auditors to audit the books and records of each
Fund for its fiscal year. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present
at the 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 each Fund,
Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen.
 
                           35

 
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
The audit committee of the 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 financial statements of the Funds, and (3) the independent auditors'
qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the
committee reviews each Fund's annual financial statements with both management
and the independent auditors and the committee meets periodically with the
independent auditors to consider their evaluation of each Fund's financial and
internal controls. The committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may
replace each Fund's independent auditors. The committee is currently composed of
five Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by
the Board, a copy of which is attached as Appendix H. Each committee member
meets the independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of
the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") 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 Fund's independent auditors. The committee has also reviewed
and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has
represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's financial statements
were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required
to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 61,
(Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by SAS No. 90 (Audit Committee
Communications). Each Fund's independent auditors 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 auditors their firm's independence. As
provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the committee's
responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced
above do not ensure, that each Fund's financial statements are complete and
accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
Based on the committee's review and discussions with management and the
independent auditors, the representations of management and the report of the
independent auditors to the committee, the committee has recommended that the
Board include the audited financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.
 
At the time the recommendation was made, the members of the committee were:
 
Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Jack B. Evans
William J. Schneider
Eugene S. Sunshine
 
                           36

directly related to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Generally, the audit
committee must approve each Fund's independent auditor's 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 auditors 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.
 
For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the
audit committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services
that Ernst & Young LLP 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 Ernst & Young LLP 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. The audit committee has considered whether the provision of
non-audit services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP to the Adviser and Adviser
Entities that were not required to be pre-approved by the audit committee is
compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence.
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
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 investment adviser, affiliated persons of the
investment adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a
Fund's equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that
Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that Fund's shares
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange or
American Stock Exchange, as applicable. These persons and entities are required
by the Securities and Exchange Commission 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, except           . To the knowledge of management of the Funds, no
shareholder of a Fund owns more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund's
equity securities.
 
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
To be considered for presentation at the annual meeting of shareholders of the
Funds to be held in 2006, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to 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           , 200  . A
shareholder wishing to provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule
14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8
 
                           41

 
must submit such written notice to the Fund not later than           , 200  .
Timely submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be
included in a proxy statement.
 
SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
 
Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board
Member should write their Fund 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. 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 chair of the nominating and
governance committee 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 and all other costs in connection with the
solicitation of proxies will be paid by           . Solicitation may be made by
letter or telephone by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by
dealers and their representatives.
 
FISCAL YEAR
 
The last fiscal year end for each Fund (except Select Maturities, Select
Portfolio, Select Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California Portfolio and New
York Portfolio) was October 31, 2004. The last fiscal year end for Select
Maturities, Select Portfolio, Select Portfolio 2, Select Portfolio 3, California
Portfolio and New York Portfolio was March 31, 2005.
 
ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY
 
Annual reports will be sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following
each Fund's fiscal year end. Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of
its annual report and/or semi-annual report as available upon request. Such
written or oral requests should be directed to such Fund at 333 West Wacker
Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 or by calling 1-800-257-8787.
 
Please note that only one annual report or proxy statement may be delivered to
two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has
received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an 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 address and phone number set forth above.

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 Meetings. However, if other
matters are properly presented to the 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 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 Meetings.
 
Failure of a quorum to be present at any 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 Meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine
that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best
interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's 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.
 
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.

(1) The Original Investment Management Agreements were between the Funds and
    Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC") or Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp.
    ("NIAC"). Effective January 1, 2005, NAC and NIAC were merged into NAM. As a
    result, NAC and NIAC became a part of NAM and ceased to exist separately.
    NAM assumed all of NAC and NIAC's obligations under the Original Investment
    Management Agreements. Like NAC and NIAC, NAM is a wholly owned subsidiary
    of Nuveen. The merger did not constitute a change in control. There was no
    change in who manages the Funds or in the Funds' investment objectives or
    policies as a result of the merger.

(1) The fee rates shown above went into effect on August 1, 2004. Prior to
    August 1, 2004, the investment management fee paid by each Fund was
    calculated using the above fund-level fee rates plus 0.20% at each
    breakpoint asset level. There was no complex-level component of the
    investment management fee.
 
(2) Prior to January 1, 2005, investment management services were provided to
    the Funds by Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC") or Nuveen Institutional Advisory
    Corp. ("NIAC"). Effective January 1, 2005, NAC and NIAC were merged into
    NAM. As a result, NAC and NIAC became a part of NAM and ceased to exist
    separately. Prior to the reorganization, management fees were paid to NAC or
    NIAC. Currently and under the New Investment Management Agreements, all
    management fees will be paid to NAM. Like NAM, NAC and NIAC were wholly-
    owned subsidiaries of Nuveen.
 
(3) Includes fee waiver of 0.30%.
 
(4) Includes fee waiver of 0.32%.

                     NUVEEN MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES
 
                            AUDIT COMMITTEES CHARTER
 
                            Revised January 18, 2005
 
I.  ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP
 
There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of
the Nuveen Management Investment Companies (the "Funds" or, individually, a
"Fund") to be known as the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall be
comprised of at least three Directors/ Trustees. Audit Committee members shall
be independent of the Funds and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of
the Directors/Trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent
judgment as an Audit Committee member. In particular, each member must meet the
independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10a of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Each such member of the
Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting, be
able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and be financially
literate, and at least one such member shall have accounting or related
financial management expertise, in each case as determined by the
Directors/Trustees, exercising their business judgment (this person may also
serve as the Audit Committee's "financial expert" as defined by the Commission).
The Board shall appoint the members and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, on
the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Audit
Committee shall meet periodically but in any event no less frequently than on a
semi-annual basis. Except for the Funds, Audit Committee members shall not serve
simultaneously on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.
 
II.  STATEMENT OF POLICY, PURPOSE AND PROCESSES
 
The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in oversight and monitoring of (1)
the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audits
of the financial statements, of the Funds; (2) the quality and integrity of the
financial statements of the Funds; (3) the Funds' compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, (4) the independent auditors' qualifications,
performance and independence; and (5) oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the Valuation Group. In exercising this oversight, the Audit Committee
can request other committees of the Board to assume responsibility for some of
the monitoring as long as the other committees are composed exclusively of
independent directors.
 
In doing so, the Audit Committee shall seek to maintain free and open means of
communication among the Directors/Trustees, the independent auditors, the
internal auditors and the management of the Funds. The Audit Committee shall
meet periodically with Fund management, the Funds' internal auditor, and the
Funds' independent auditors, in separate executive sessions. The Audit Committee
shall prepare reports of the Audit Committee as required by the Commission to be
included in the Fund's annual proxy statements or otherwise.
 
                                       F-1

 
The Audit Committee shall have the authority and resources in its discretion to
retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Audit
Committee and to otherwise discharge its responsibilities, including appropriate
funding as determined by the Audit Committee for compensation to independent
auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or
performing other audit, review or attest services for a Fund, compensation to
advisers employed by the Audit Committee, and ordinary administrative expenses
of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its
duties, as determined in its discretion. The Audit Committee may request any
officer or employee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (or its affiliates)
(collectively, "Nuveen") or the Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel
to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Audit Committee. The Funds' independent auditors and
internal auditors shall have unrestricted accessibility at any time to Committee
members.
 
RESPONSIBILITIES
 
Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems
for accounting, reporting, disclosure and internal control.
 
The independent auditors have the primary responsibility to plan and implement
an audit, with proper consideration given to the accounting, reporting and
internal controls. Each independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing
or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services
for the Funds shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The independent
auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee. It is
the ultimate responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, appoint, retain,
evaluate, oversee and replace any independent auditors and to determine their
compensation, subject to ratification of the Board, if required. These Audit
Committee responsibilities may not be delegated to any other Committee or the
Board.
 
The Audit Committee is responsible for the following:
 
     With respect to Fund financial statements:
 
        1. Reviewing and discussing the annual audited financial statements and
           semi-annual financial statements with Fund management and the
           independent auditors including major issues regarding accounting and
           auditing principles and practices, and the Funds' disclosures in its
           periodic reports under "Management's Discussion and Analysis."
 
        2. Requiring the independent auditors to deliver to the Chairman of the
           Audit Committee a timely report on any issues relating to the
           significant accounting policies, management judgments and accounting
           estimates or other matters that would need to be communicated under
           Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 90, Audit Committee
           Communications (which amended SAS No. 61, Communication with Audit
           Committees), that arise during the auditors' review of the Funds'
           financial statements, which information the Chairman shall further
           communicate to the other members of the Audit Committee, as deemed
           necessary or appropriate in the Chairman's judgment.
 
        3. Discussing with management the Funds' press releases regarding
           financial results and dividends, as well as financial information and
           earnings guidance

           independence from the Funds' investment adviser and other principal
           service providers, including any affiliates of such persons, if
           applicable. The Committee shall consider the effect of any
           relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act and any other
           applicable federal securities laws and regulations and rules and
           regulations of self-regulatory organizations that might impair their
           independence, e.g., business, financial or family relationships with
           the Funds' investment adviser and service providers, including any
           affiliates of such persons.

           be deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee. The Committee may,

           material elements of the foregoing policy in furtherance of the
           objectives and elements currently stated therein.

           Committee in developing and implementing this process. The process
           will also provide that the Manager of Fund Board Relations, or such
