Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board Sidebar text: We remain convinced that maintaining a well-balanced portfolio is an important way to help you reduce overall investment risk. Dear SHAREHOLDER I am pleased to report that over the period covered by this report both JPC and JQC essentially completed their initial investment processes, paid attractive monthly dividends and generated appealing cumulative returns. While it is too early to draw many conclusions about the overall performance of either Fund, we believe both provided investors with a quality-oriented portfolio and the opportunity for additional asset class diversification within their overall investment portfolios. We remain convinced that maintaining a well-balanced portfolio, structured and monitored with the help of an investment professional, is an important way to help you reduce overall investment risk and position yourself to achieve your long-term financial goals. In this context, the blended asset classes in your Fund may be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted to perform well through a variety of market conditions. For more information on the specific performance of the Funds, I urge you to read the portfolio managers' perspective and performance overview pages in this report. I also ask you to consider receiving future Fund reports and other information electronically via the Internet and e-mail rather than in hard copy. Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but this also may help lower Fund expenses. Sign up is quick and easy - see the inside front cover of this report for details.

Our mission continues to be to assist you and your financial advisor by offering the services and products that can help you meet your financial objectives. Sincerely, /s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger Timothy R. Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board March 15, 2004 1 NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUNDS (JPC, JQC) Managers' PERSPECTIVE The Funds are managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. (NIAC), and subadvised by a team of specialists from Spectrum Asset Management, Inc., Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc., and NIAC. Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal CapitalSM, manages the preferred securities portions of the Funds' portfolios. Froley, Revy, one of the oldest firms specializing in convertible securities, manages that portion of both Fund's portfolios, while NIAC manages the high yield securities and other debt instruments in both Funds. Here representatives from Spectrum, Froley, Revy and NIAC talk about general economic conditions, fund performance and their management strategies for the reporting period ended January 31, 2004. WHAT WAS THE GENERAL MARKET ENVIRONMENT FOR PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES AND HIGH YIELD DEBT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2004? Looking at preferred securities first, market conditions for most of this period were favorable. As a result, preferred securities were among the best performers within the fixed-income sector for the 12 months ended January 31, 2004. Both individual and institutional investors were aggressive buyers of preferred securities during this period because, in our opinion, of the attractive yields that preferred securities offered relative to alternative investments. The credit quality environment, especially among the financial industry- oriented issuers, was positive, reflecting improvement in the general economy and in the equity markets. New issuance of preferred securities was robust over the period, with a total of $42.1 billion coming to market during 2003. As of December 31, 2003, the size of the hybrid preferred securities market, in which the Funds primarily invest, was approximately $219 billion. Generally, conditions also were favorable in the convertible securities market during the reporting period. For the six month period ending January 31, 2004, the convertible securities market, as measured by Merrill Lynch's All U. S. Convertible Index, provided a total return of 14.56%. This return represented about 75% of the NASDAQ 100 Index's return over the same period, and 95% of the S&P 500 Index's six month return. While convertibles performed well, they did not capture as much of the equity index gains as some might have expected because much of the convertible market during this period was trading primarily as yield alternatives with very low sensitivity to equity market movements. In addition, the high yield securities market performed well during the reporting period. All 23 sectors of the CSFB High Yield Index provided positive returns for the fourth quarter and full year of 2003. Lower-rated bonds and loans significantly outperformed the middle and upper tier, due in our opinion to investors' increased risk appetites and the improved high yield environment. Default rates in the leveraged loan market continued to improve throughout 2003, falling to 2.92% from 7.32%. Importantly, distressed high yield debt declined 90% in 2003, to $5.8 billion from $59.0 billion. In addition, the ratio of upgraded to downgraded issues increased in 2003 for the first time in five years. IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? The portfolios of both Funds contain allocations of preferred, convertible and high yield securities. Cumulative total returns for the periods from the Funds' inceptions through January 31, 2004, are shown in the nearby chart, along with the performance over similar periods of some widely-followed unmanaged, unleveraged indexes of the major asset classes in which the Funds invest. CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN ON NET ASSET VALUE ----------------------------------------------------------- JPC (inception 3/26/03 - 1/31/04) 16.64% Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index1 (3/31/03-1/31/04) 8.47% Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible Index2 (3/31/03 - 1/31/04) 27.10% CSFB High Yield Index3 (3/31/03 - 1/31/04) 21.99% JQC (inception 6/25/03 - 1/31/04) 10.35% Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index1 (6/30/03-1/31/04) 3.71% Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible Index2 (6/30/03 - 1/31/04) 14.88% CSFB High Yield Index3 (6/30/03 - 1/31/04) 11.16% ----------------------------------------------------------- During much of the performance periods shown here, both Funds were engaged in the initial investment of the proceeds raised from their common and preferred share offerings. While we are generally pleased with the performance of the Funds since their 1 The Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index is an unmanaged index of investment-grade, exchange-traded preferred stocks with outstanding market values of at least $30 million and at least one year to maturity. 2 The Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index consists of approximately 575 convertible securities with par value greater than $50 million that were issued by U.S. companies or non-U.S. based issuers that have a significant business presence in the U.S. 3 The CSFB High Yield Index includes approximately $375 billion of $US-denominated high yield debt with a minimum of $75 million in par value and at least one rating below investment-grade. 2 inceptions, we think that a few months of initial data provide little basis for a proper evaluation of Fund performance. The cumulative Fund returns shown here lie between the returns posted by indexes representing the asset classes in which the Funds primarily invest. We believe this was to be expected, given the blended nature of both Funds' portfolios. Both Funds provided attractive monthly income during the reporting period. Each Fund seeks to pay dividends at a rate that reflects the past and projected performance of the Fund. To permit a Fund to maintain a more stable monthly dividend, the Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If the Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it will hold the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's net asset value. Conversely, if the Fund has cumulatively paid in dividends more than it has earned, the excess will constitute a negative UNII balance which will likewise be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. Each Fund will, over time, pay all its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of January 31, 2004, both Funds had negative UNII. As of January 31, 2004, both JPC and JQC were trading at discounts to their respective net asset values. For additional performance information, please see the individual Performance Overview pages for your Fund in this report. WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU EMPLOY IN MANAGING THE FUNDS? For the preferred securities portion of each Fund's portfolio, we tried to generate income and enhance total return by looking to exploit inefficiencies between preferred valuations and senior debt levels, as well as between $25 par listed preferred shares and $1000 par unlisted preferred capital securities of the same issuer. In addition, we sought to lessen the potential effects of higher interest rates by focusing on higher coupon, "cushioned" issues trading at a premium to par in the secondary market. When they were available, we believed these cushioned securities represented better value than many of the new issues reflecting today's relatively low interest rates. Looking at the convertible securities allocations, both Funds were positioned initially to balance income needs with the desire for capital gains. Generally, we looked for securities with greater equity-tracking sensitivity when we had strong views on the attractiveness of either a sector or a specific company. As of January 31, 2004, about 10% of both Funds' convertible securities allocations were hedged in an effort to reduce overall risk and increase cash flow. With the high-yield allocations, we concentrated on finding what we thought were higher- quality credits with strong fundamental business models, diversified revenue streams and relatively less earnings volatility. We focused on investing the assets across multiple sectors such as gaming/lodging, home- building, retail, media and food. 3 NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND Performance OVERVIEW As of January 31, 2004 JPC Portfolio Statistics ================================================== Share Price $15.49 -------------------------------------------------- Common Share Net Asset Value $15.67 -------------------------------------------------- Premium/(Discount) to NAV -1.15% -------------------------------------------------- Latest Dividend $.1005 -------------------------------------------------- Market Yield 7.79% -------------------------------------------------- Net Assets Applicable to Common Shares ($000) $1,568,810 -------------------------------------------------- % of Total Top Five Industries Investments ================================================== Banking 13% -------------------------------------------------- Real Estate Investment Trusts 12% -------------------------------------------------- Banking - Foreign 10% -------------------------------------------------- Financial 5% -------------------------------------------------- Auto 4% -------------------------------------------------- % of Total Top Five Issuers Investments ================================================== Wachovia Corporation 2.8% -------------------------------------------------- General Motors Corporation 2.2% -------------------------------------------------- Ford Motor Company 2.0% -------------------------------------------------- PartnerRe Limited 1.9% -------------------------------------------------- Citigroup 1.8% -------------------------------------------------- Cumulative Total Return (Inception Date 3/26/03) ================================================== on Share Price on NAV -------------------------------------------------- Since Inception 10.17% 16.64% -------------------------------------------------- Bar Chart: 2003-2004 MONTHLY DIVIDENDS PER SHARE1 May 0.1005 Jun 0.1005 Jul 0.1005 Aug 0.1005 Sep 0.1005 Oct 0.1005 Nov 0.1005 Dec 0.1005 Jan 0.1005 Line Chart: SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE 3/28/03 15.03 15.09 15.28 15.4 15.14 15.15 15.3 15.32 15.43 15.45 15.37 15.4 15.49 15.4 15.04 14.47 14.75 14.1 14.01 14.25 14.43 14.42 14.42 14.23 14.66 14.74 14.67 14.85 14.95 14.99 14.76 14.95 15.17 15.05 15.52 15.52 15.4 15.36 1/31/04 15.49 Weekly Closing Price Past performance is not predictive of future results. 1 The Fund paid shareholders a short-term capital gains distribution in December 2003 of $0.0568 per share. 4 NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND 2 Performance OVERVIEW As of January 31, 2004 JQC Portfolio Statistics ================================================== Share Price $14.89 -------------------------------------------------- Common Share Net Asset Value $15.19 -------------------------------------------------- Premium/(Discount) to NAV -1.97% -------------------------------------------------- Latest Dividend $.0975 -------------------------------------------------- Market Yield 7.86% -------------------------------------------------- Net Assets Applicable to Common Shares ($000) $2,141,490 -------------------------------------------------- % of Total Top Five Industries Investments ================================================== Banking 16% -------------------------------------------------- Banking - Foreign 13% -------------------------------------------------- Real Estate Investment Trusts 8% -------------------------------------------------- Broadcast Cable 4% -------------------------------------------------- Financial 4% -------------------------------------------------- % of Total Top Five Issuers Investments ================================================== Wachovia Corporation 2.2% -------------------------------------------------- Citigroup 1.9% -------------------------------------------------- HBOS Public Limited Company 1.8% -------------------------------------------------- ING Groep NV 1.7% -------------------------------------------------- General Motors Corporation 1.6% -------------------------------------------------- Cumulative Total Return (Inception Date 6/25/03) ================================================== on Share Price on NAV -------------------------------------------------- Since Inception 3.38% 10.35% -------------------------------------------------- Bar Chart: 2003-2004 MONTHLY DIVIDENDS PER SHARE Aug 0.0975 Sep 0.0975 Oct 0.0975 Nov 0.0975 Dec 0.0975 Jan 0.0975 Line Chart: SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE 6/27/03 15 15.09 15.25 15.01 14.69 14.21 14.01 13.73 13.82 14.05 13.99 13.97 13.97 14.33 14.29 14.3 14.35 14.43 14.37 14.37 14.44 14.73 14.35 14.68 14.97 14.83 14.89 1/31/04 14.89 Weekly Closing Price Past performance is not predictive of future results. 5 Shareholder MEETING REPORT The Shareholder Meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois on October 22, 2003.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund (JPC) and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 (JQC). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, closed-end management investment companies. Prior to the commencement of operations of the Funds, each Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 per Fund by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and the recording of the organization expenses ($11,500 per Fund) and their reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Each Fund seeks to provide high current income by investing primarily in a portfolio of preferred securities, convertible securities, and related instruments. Each Fund may also invest in other debt instruments and common stocks acquired upon conversion of a convertible security. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Securities Valuation Exchange-listed securities are generally valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. The prices of fixed-income securities are generally provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees and based on the mean between the bid and asked prices. When price quotes are not readily available for fixed-income securities, the pricing service establishes fair market value using a wide range of market data including yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant by the pricing service. If it is determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the security. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At January 31, 2004, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in either of the Funds. Investment Income Dividend income and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis (see Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders for REIT income recognition policy). Income Taxes Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. The Funds make certain adjustments, at different points in time, to the character of both (a) the distributions received by the Funds from REITs, and (b) dividends to Fund shareholders to the extent that such dividends are attributable to REIT distributions received by the Funds. 45 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) Characterization of Receipts from REITs - Distributions from REITs are generally comprised of investment income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and/or a return of REIT capital. The actual character of the amounts received by a Fund from REITs during the period is not known until after the fiscal year-end of the Funds. For the six months ended January 31, 2004, each Fund applied percentage estimates (of whether the receipts represented investment income, long-term and short-term capital gains, or return of capital), based on historical experience, to its receipts from the REITs and treated as income in the Statement of Operations only the amount of investment income so calculated. Each Fund will adjust that estimated breakdown of income type (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary in the subsequent calendar year when the REITs inform their shareholders of the actual breakdown of income type. Characterization of Fund Distributions to Shareholders Derived from Distributions from REITs - During the six months ended January 31, 2004, each Fund treated each distribution to its shareholders, to the extent that such distribution was attributable to receipts from portfolio REITs, as being entirely from net investment income, because the character of such distributions made during the period is not known until after the fiscal year-end of the Funds. Each Fund recharacterizes those distributions as being from ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital, if necessary, in the subsequent calendar year, based upon the income type breakdown information conveyed at that time by the REITs whose securities are held in the Fund's portfolio. Consequently, the financial statements may reflect an over-distribution of net investment income that is at least partly attributable to the fact that, as of the date of the financial statements, some of the amounts received by the Funds from the portfolio REITs, but none of the dividends paid by the Funds to shareholders from the portfolio REITs during the period, were treated as something other than ordinary income. Distributions to Common shareholders of net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. FundPreferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value FundPreferred shares. Each Fund's FundPreferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 4,720 3,860 Series M2 -- 3,860 Series T 4,720 3,860 Series T2 -- 3,860 Series W 4,720 3,860 Series W2 -- 3,860 Series TH 4,720 3,860 Series TH2 -- 3,860 Series F 4,720 3,860 Series F2 4,720 3,860 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 28,320 38,600 ================================================================================ Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) issued the FundPreferred shares listed above on May 16, 2003. Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) issued the FundPreferred shares listed above on August 15, 2003. 46 Interest Rate Swap Transactions The Funds are authorized to enter into hedging transactions, including interest rate swap transactions. The Funds use interest rate swaps with the intent to reduce or eliminate the risk that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on Common share net earnings as a result of leverage. Interest rate swaps involve each Fund's agreement with the swap counterparty to pay a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate each Fund's variable rate payment obligation on FundPreferred shares or any variable rate borrowing. The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap. Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of credit loss with respect to the swap counterparty on interest rate swaps is limited to the net amount of interest payments that each Fund is to receive. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the net payment obligations under any interest rate swap transactions. Interest rate swap positions are marked to market daily. Although there are economic advantages of entering into interest rate swap transactions, there are also additional risks. The Funds help manage the credit risks associated with interest rate swap transactions by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser continually monitor the financial stability of the swap counterparties. At January 31, 2004, Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) had open interest rate swap agreements as follows: UNREALIZED NOTIONAL TERMINATION APPRECIATION AMOUNT FIXED RATE FLOATING RATE* DATE (DEPRECIATION) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $71,000,000 1.9735% 1.0980% 1/22/06 $164,168 71,000,000 2.5670 1.1000 1/22/07 218,294 71,000,000 2.9935 1.0980 1/22/08 325,286 71,000,000 3.4060 1.1000 1/22/09 178,379 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $886,127 ========================================================================================================= *Based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) At January 31, 2004, Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) had open interest rate swap agreements as follows: UNREALIZED NOTIONAL TERMINATION APPRECIATION AMOUNT FIXED RATE FLOATING RATE* DATE (DEPRECIATION) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $97,000,000 1.3605% 1.0980% 1/23/05 $ 56,310 97,000,000 2.0250 1.1000 1/23/06 129,116 97,000,000 3.0480 1.1000 1/23/08 246,212 97,000,000 3.3595 1.0980 1/23/09 459,893 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $891,531 ========================================================================================================= *Based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) Short Sales The Funds may make short sales of securities if, at all times when a short position is open, the Funds own at least an equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, without payment of any further consideration, securities of the same issuer as, and at least equal in amount to, the securities sold short. The Funds will borrow the securities sold short from a broker-dealer through which the short sale is executed and the broker-dealer will deliver such securities, on behalf of the Funds, to the purchaser of such securities. Such broker-dealer will be entitled to retain the proceeds from the short sale until the Funds deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short. In addition, the Funds will be required to pay the broker-dealer the amount of any dividends or interest paid on securities sold short. Finally, to secure its obligation to deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold short, the Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in an equivalent amount of the securities sold short or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such securities. 47 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) Short sales may protect the Funds against the risk of losses in the value of their portfolio securities because any unrealized losses with respect to such portfolio securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding gain in the short position. However, any potential gain in such portfolio securities should be wholly or partially offset by a corresponding loss in the short position. The extent to which such gains or losses are offset will depend upon the amount of securities sold short relative to the amount the Funds own, either directly or indirectly, and, in the case where the Funds own convertible securities, changes in the conversion premium. The Funds will incur transaction costs in connection with short sales. Repurchase Agreements In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited. Other Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in options and futures contracts, credit derivative instruments, and currency exchange transactions for the purpose of hedging their portfolios. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the six months ended January 31, 2004. Organization and Offering Costs Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to reimburse all organization expenses (approximately $11,500 per Fund) and pay all Common share offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) and Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC). Preferred and Convertible Income's (JPC) and Preferred and Convertible Income 2's (JQC) share of Common share offering costs ($1,745,630 and $1,762,420, respectively) were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares. Costs incurred by Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC) and Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) in connection with their offering of FundPreferred shares ($14,589,842 and $19,723,013, respectively) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 48 2.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS Purchases and sales of investments and U.S. Government and agency obligations (including maturities and transactions in securities sold short but excluding short-term investments) during the six months ended January 31, 2004, were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchases: Investment securities $327,340,591 $1,556,409,215 U.S. Government and agency obligations 8,554,453 117,118,078 Sales and maturities: Investment securities 347,203,286 377,625,421 U.S. Government and agency obligations 8,682,109 261,270,883 ================================================================================ 49 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) 4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION The following information is presented on an income tax basis based on the information currently available to the Funds. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the recognition of income on certain securities, which are treated as debt securities for income tax purposes and equity securities for financial statement purposes, and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on security transactions. At January 31, 2004, the cost of investments were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments $2,087,082,428 $2,887,947,175 ================================================================================ Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at January 31, 2004, were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross unrealized: Appreciation $161,324,436 $163,048,514 Depreciation (21,776,249) (24,231,209) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investments $139,548,187 $138,817,305 ================================================================================ 50 The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net realized gains at July 31, 2003, the Funds' last fiscal year end, were as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed net ordinary income * $17,219,532 $5,712,249 Undistributed net long-term capital gains -- -- ================================================================================ *Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal period ended July 31, 2003, the Funds' last fiscal year end, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows: PREFERRED PREFERRED AND AND CONVERTIBLE CONVERTIBLE INCOME INCOME 2 (JPC) (JQC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions from net ordinary income * $21,811,614 $-- Distributions from net long-term capital gains -- -- ================================================================================ *Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any. Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2002 through July 31, 2003 ("post-October losses") in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) had $1,550,040 of post-October losses that are treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. Calculation of certain of the amounts presented above (namely, undistributed net ordinary income for tax purposes) involves the application of complex aspects of the Internal Revenue Code to certain securities held by the Funds. In calculating the amount of taxable income derived from these securities, management made assumptions as to the correct tax treatment of certain of those securities and made estimates about the tax characteristics of income received from those securities, based on information currently available to the Funds. The use of these assumptions and estimates will not affect the qualification of the Funds as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, nor is it expected that these assumptions and estimates will be used in computing taxable income for purposes of preparing the federal and state income and excise tax returns. 51 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Under each Fund's investment management agreement with the Adviser, each Fund pays an annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set forth below, which are based upon each Fund's average daily managed assets. "Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each Fund including assets attributable to FundPreferred shares and the principal amount of borrowings, if any. AVERAGE DAILY MANAGED ASSETS MANAGEMENT FEE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $500 million .9000% For the next $500 million .8750 For the next $500 million .8500 For the next $500 million .8250 For Managed Assets over $2 billion .8000 ================================================================================ The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum"), and Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc. (Froley, Revy). Spectrum manages the portion of the Fund's investment portfolio allocated to preferred securities while Froley, Revy manages the portion of the investment portfolio allocated to convertible securities. Spectrum and Foley, Revy are compensated for their services to the Funds from the management fee paid to the Adviser. Spectrum also receives compensation on certain portfolio transactions for providing brokerage services to the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the overall strategy and asset allocation decisions as well as managing the portion of the investment portfolio allocated to other debt securities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. For the first eight years of Preferred and Convertible Income's (JPC) operations, the Advisers have agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily Managed Assets, for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, MARCH 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003* .32% 2008 .32% 2004 .32 2009 .24 2005 .32 2010 .16 2006 .32 2011 .08 2007 .32 ================================================================================ *From the commencement of operations.

A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBILITY You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time. For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800) 257-8787. 56 Fund INFORMATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES William E.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual performance over the time period being considered. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A fund's NAV is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. --------- Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares were repurchased during the period ended January 31, 2004. Any future repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual report. 57 Serving Investors FOR GENERATIONS Since 1898, financial advisors and their clients have relied on Nuveen Investments to provide dependable investment solutions.
