Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
I am pleased to report that for the year ended December 31, 2004, your
Fund continued to provide you with attractive monthly income from a
diversified portfolio of quality preferred securities, convertible
securities and high-yield debt. The date of this report represents a
change that aligns your Fund's fiscal year with the calendar year. We
believe this change in your Fund's shareholder reporting cycle will lead
to greater efficiencies and other benefits in the management and operation
of your Fund.
"We continue to believe that your Fund provides a valuable source of regular
monthly income, and that it also may provide an opportunity to reduce the
overall risk of your entire investment portfolio."
As you'll see as you review this report, there has been no change in the
objectives or management of your Fund. We continue to believe that your
Fund provides a valuable source of regular monthly income, and that it
also may provide an opportunity to reduce the overall risk of your entire
investment portfolio. This is because the price of your Fund's shares may
move differently than the prices of other investments that you may own.
Your financial advisor can explain the advantages of portfolio
diversification in more detail. I urge you to contact him or her soon for
more information on this important investment strategy.
I also urge you to consider receiving future Fund reports and other Fund
information faster by using e-mail and the Internet. Sign up is quick and
easy - see the inside front cover of this report for instructions.
For more than 100 years, Nuveen has specialized in offering quality
investments such as your Fund to those seeking to accumulate and preserve
wealth. Our mission continues to be to assist you and your financial
advisor by offering the investment solutions and services that can help
you secure your long-term financial goals. We thank you for choosing us as
a partner as you work toward that objective.
Sincerely,
/s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Funds (JPC, JQC)
Portfolio Managers'
Perspective
These Funds are subadvised by a team of specialists from Spectrum Asset
Management, Inc., Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc., and Symphony Asset
Management, LLC.
Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal Capital(SM), manages the preferred
securities portion of each Fund's portfolio. Mark Lieb, Bernie Sussman and Phil
Jacoby, who have more than 50 years of combined experience in the preferred
securities markets, lead the team.
Froley, Revy, one of the oldest firms specializing in convertible securities,
manages that portion of each Fund's portfolio. Their investment team is led by
Andrea Revy O'Connell and Michael Revy, who each have more than 10 years'
experience in convertible securities investing.
The Symphony team managing the high yield securities and other debt instruments
in both Funds is led by Gunther Stein and Lenny Mason. Gunther and Lenny have
more than 25 years of combined investment management experience, much of it in
evaluating and purchasing senior corporate loans and other high-yield debt.
Here representatives from Spectrum, Froley, Revy and Symphony talk about general
economic conditions, their management strategies and the performance of both
Funds for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2004.
What were the conditions in the fixed-income markets generally, and the
preferred securities, convertible securities and high yield debt markets in
particular, during the 12-month period December 31, 2004?
Generally, the U.S. economy presented a slowly improving picture in 2004. The
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew at a preliminary estimate of 4.4% over the
course of the full year. Inflation remained largely in check, as the Consumer
Price Index rose 3.3% due primarily to increased energy costs. Corporate profits
grew by an average of about 20%, and there was an increase of approximately 2
million jobs with the unemployment rate dropping to 5.4% at the end of 2004 from
5.7% at the beginning of the year. The fourth quarter stock market rally seemed
to reflect a belief by some that the economic recovery had become more
self-sustaining.
In the fixed-income markets, the Federal Reserve raised the fed funds rate five
times between June 30 and December 14. At the close of the year, this benchmark
rate stood at 2.25%, compared with 1.00% one year earlier. (On February 2, 2005,
after the close of this reporting period, the Federal Reserve raised the fed
funds rate by another 0.25% to 2.50%.) At the same time, rates remained
essentially unchanged at the long end of the yield curve, with the yield on
10-year U.S. Treasuries standing at 4.22% on December 31, 2004, compared with
4.26% at the beginning of the year.
4
Despite this significant flattening of the yield curve, longer duration
investments such as preferred securities continued to enjoy generally wide yield
spreads over money market funds and other short-term instruments. The Merrill
Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index returned 5.51% during 2004, one
reason why individual investors remained aggressive buyers throughout the year
in the $25 par sector of the market. Within the $1000 par capital securities
sector, buying interest also was strong throughout the year as U.S. and European
insurance companies joined other institutional investors who sought to garner
incremental yield. Encouraging this demand was the continued improvement in the
general credit quality of many issuers, especially among the financial-oriented
companies that make up a large proportion of the holdings of these Funds. The
ratio of upgrades to downgrades was more favorable over this one-year period
than at any time since the Funds' inceptions.
The Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible Index returned 9.61% in 2004. The strong
performance of the asset class was due in large part to double digit returns
from the underlying equities into which the convertibles potentially convert.
Convertibles that were more balanced or more yield sensitive (sensitive to
interest rates or to the credit quality of a stable issuer) also performed
solidly but did not offer quite as much upside return. In addition, convertible
performance was influenced by interest rate movements, the volatilities and
dividend policies of the underlying equities, and merger and acquisition
activity. Interest rates were a modest negative influence on returns this year
as the yield curve flattened. Equity volatilities also were a drag on
convertible valuations as short-term volatilities contracted sharply to
multi-year lows. Longer-term volatilities, which are more important for
convertible valuations, fell more modestly but still had a negative effect on
performance.
The CSFB High Yield Index returned 11.96% for the year, aided by an impressive
performance during the fourth quarter of 2004. Investor sentiment generally
remained upbeat, sustained by a steady flow of positive macroeconomic data.
Lower-rated bonds tended to outperform the middle and upper ratings tiers due to
the healthier economic environment and some investors' increased tolerance for
risk. As the credit markets improved, default rates continued to drop. The
12-month rolling default rate reached 1.27% at the end of
5
2004, declining from 2.92% as of year end 2003. New issue volume was in-line
with 2003 levels, totaling $131.0 billion for the year.
What was your overall management strategy for the 12-month period ended December
31, 2004?
In the preferred securities portion of both Funds' portfolios, we continued to
maintain a balance between the two major preferred sectors - the $25 par and the
$1000 par capital securities. While both sectors presented attractive investment
opportunities at particular points in time, by the end of 2004 the relative
weighting between the two in each Fund was relatively unchanged from the
beginning of the period. Over the course of 2004, our investment focus centered
on buying high quality, higher coupon preferred issues that usually traded on
the basis of their yield-to-call rather than their yield-to-maturity.
Within the $25 par sector, this meant seeking securities with coupons of 7.00%
or more and call dates two or three years in the future. In the $1000 par
capital securities sector, much of our investment focus was on "Yankee step-up"
securities. These are $US-denominated preferreds issued primarily by
highly-rated European financial institutions. They pay a fixed rate for a period
of time and then move to a wide spread above LIBOR (London Interbank Offered
Rate) if the issuer does not call the security. This step-up feature makes the
exercise of the call option more likely and creates a shorter duration, less
interest rate sensitive investment vehicle.
For the convertible securities portion of both portfolios, our overall strategy
was to seek yield opportunities while investing in what we thought were
undervalued or fairly-valued securities from stable issuers. In practice, this
meant trying to find securities having market prices or characteristics that, in
our opinion, did not reflect their true value. For instance, we did not find
many utility company convertibles particularly attractive during this period.
Since the high correlation of many utilities' equity performance with interest
rates movements, utility-issued convertible bonds often will move in the same
direction as interest rates both from a fixed-income perspective and from an
equity perspective. To us, this reduces their attractiveness as convertibles. At
the same time, we did invest in utility issues that were mandatory convertible
preferreds. These securities tended to
6
offer much higher yields than more traditional utility convertibles with only
modestly more risk.
For the high yield debt portion of both portfolios, we continued to employ a
value-oriented strategy, focusing on relatively higher-quality credits with
strong fundamental business models, diversified revenue streams, and relatively
low earnings volatility. Investing our assets across a variety of industry
sectors and rating tiers also remained a priority. We continued to evaluate the
entire group of holdings, eliminating positions that we believed had escalating
credit issues, limited upside potential or significant downside risk.
How did the Funds perform over this period?
Each of the Funds performed well during the 12 months ended December 31, 2004.
Their performance, as well as the performance of several widely followed market
indexes, is shown in the nearby chart.

this report.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2004, both Funds outperformed their
comparative benchmarks. One of the primary factors benefiting the performance of
these Funds relative to that of the benchmark was the Funds' use of financial
leverage. While leveraging can add volatility to a Fund's NAV and share price,
especially during periods of rising interest rates, this strategy can also
provide opportunities for additional income and total returns for common
shareholders when short-term interest rates remain relatively low and long-term
rates fall or remain relatively constant, as they did during this reporting
period.
(1) The Comparative Benchmark performance is a blend consisting: 1) 60% of the
return of the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index, 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) 30% of the return of the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles
Index, which consists of approximately 575 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.; and
3) 10% of the return of the CSFB High Yield Index, which 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.
7
Within the preferred securities portions of both Funds' portfolios, individual
security selection also played a prominent role in each Fund's strong relative
performance for the year. Highly-rated preferreds issued by financial
institutions, especially banks, were the mainstays. Over the course of the year,
these securities often performed better than lower-rated securities. This was
especially true for some of the securities issued by non-US companies that we
were able to purchase at attractive yields relative to similarly rated
preferreds from U.S. issuers.
Seasoned "repackaged preferreds" also provided some good returns for the Funds.
These securities are created when an investment bank buys a specific tranche of
bonds or $1000 par preferred securities of a particular issuer, places them in a
trust, and then issues $25 par preferreds backed by this trust. The repackaged
preferreds are often not widely followed in the secondary market, which can
produce some very attractive pricing and yields. In addition to their attractive
return potential, they also provided the Funds with exposure to some issuers who
have little or no other preferreds outstanding, such as IBM, BellSouth and
Safeco. This helped improve the overall diversification of each portfolio.
Within the $1000 par capital securities sector, our increased focus on
$US-denominated preferreds from foreign issuers and on preferreds that trade in
the "Euro listed" sector provided good returns to the portfolios as these two
areas were among the best performing sectors in the overall corporate market.
Other actions that positively impacted Fund performance over this period
included our participation in a tender offer for Safeco preferreds,
opportunistic buying of some insurance company securities that we believed was
unfairly discounted because of the ongoing investigations of the industry, and
the year end purchase of a very attractively priced Fannie Mae floating rate
preferred stock that appreciated 12% in two days.
While it was generally a very good year from a credit standpoint, there were a
few blemishes in the preferred securities sleeves that hurt overall Fund
performance. While we limited the Funds' exposure to the auto sector (and
actually reduced it as the year went on), the prices on Ford and GM preferreds
and bonds tended to weaken over the period, given concerns over eroding market
share and unfunded pension and health care
8
obligations. Another position that negatively impacted performance was
Converium. The Swiss reinsurance company surprised the markets with a large
addition to reserves due to losses in their U.S. operations, and the company was
subsequently downgraded to below investment grade. While we liquidated the
entire position, the prices we were able to obtain were well below our costs.
In the convertible securities portions of both Funds, the Consumer Discretionary
and Telecommunications sectors provided the greatest positive contribution to
performance. Both of these areas performed well generally, and the Funds had
higher weightings in them over this period than the Merrill Lynch index. In
addition, the specific securities we held performed better than their sectors as
a whole. Specific standouts from the Consumer Discretionary sector were Carnival
Corporation and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Hotels as a group also performed
very well. In the Telecommunications sector, the issues exchangeable into PCS
shares were strong contributors to performance. NII Holdings (formerly Nextel
International Holdings) and Alltel also performed well.
Other convertible securities which contributed positively to performance of JQC
were Comcast into PCS, Lion's Gate Films, and Carnival Corp. In JPC, solid
performers included Genenetech, Comcast into PCS, and Lion's Gate Films.
At the same time, both Funds were relatively underweighted in energy
convertibles at the beginning of the year relative to the Merrill index. As a
result, we missed a good portion of the upward stock movements that resulted
from the surge in oil prices seen throughout the year. While we increased our
energy weightings as the year went along, the lack of earlier participation cost
the Funds some return potential.
As noted earlier, we found many Utility sector convertible bonds to be
relatively unattractive. Nevertheless, this sector performed well in 2004. While
the utility securities we did hold performed well, they did not do as well as
the sector as a whole.
Individual convertible securities that hurt performance over this period were
General Motors, Nortel and Nextel in JQC, and Allied Waste, Nortel and Delta
Airlines in JPC.
9
Among each Fund's high yield holdings, strong performance came from the Consumer
Products, Housing, and Food/Tobacco sectors. These sectors all outperformed the
CSFB Index, posting 12-month returns of 14.73%, 12.80%, and 12.41%,
respectively.
Over this twelve-month period, distressed and CCC-rated debt significantly
outperformed all other rating tiers. Consequently, industries with many low
credit-quality companies, such as the Metals/Minerals, Chemicals, and Utilities
sectors, were among the top performing sectors in 2004. The JPC and JQC
portfolios had minimal exposure to these volatile industries and negligible
exposure to distressed and CCC-rated debt. As a result, the Fund's did not
benefit as much from this performance as the CSFB index.
What about dividends and share price?
Both of these Funds use financial leverage in an effort to enhance their
dividend-paying capabilities. While this strategy adds volatility to a Fund's
net asset value and share price, it generally enhances the amount of income the
Fund has to distribute to its common shareholders. The extent of this benefit is
tied in part to the short-term rates these Funds pay their FundPreferred(TM)
shareholders. Even though short-term rates rose through the second half of this
12-month period, the Funds continued to benefit from their leveraging strategy.
This is one reason why both Funds were able to maintain stable monthly dividends
through the course of 2004.
Both Funds seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund's past
results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each 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 a Fund has
cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in
reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV.
Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings,
the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's
NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as
dividends to shareholders. As of December 31, 2004, both Funds had negative UNII
balances for financial statement purposes and positive UNII balances for tax
purposes.
10
As of December 31, 2004, JPC was trading at a -6.46% discount to its net asset
value, compared with a -4.82% average discount for the entire 12-month period.
JQC was trading at an -8.63% discount, compared with an average discount of
-5.41% for the full year.

Report of
Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund
Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Nuveen
Preferred and Convertible Income Fund and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible
Income Fund 2 (the "Funds"), including the portfolios of investments, as of
December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations and changes in net
assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds'
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial
highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31,
2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate
auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuveen
Preferred and Convertible Income Fund and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible
Income Fund 2 at December 31, 2004, the results of their operations, the changes
in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated
therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to
Financial Statements
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
The funds (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.,
("Nuveen") 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.
Each Fund seeks to provide high current income by investing primarily in a
portfolio of preferred securities, convertible securities and, to a lesser
degree, high yield securities. Each Fund may also invest in other debt
instruments and common stocks acquired upon conversion of a convertible
security.
The Board of Trustees of the Funds approved a change in the Funds' fiscal year
end from July 31 to December 31 upon completion of the Funds' July 31, 2004
fiscal year.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Securities Valuation
Exchange-listed securities and instruments are generally valued at the last
sales price on the exchange on which such securities or instruments are
primarily traded. Securities or instruments traded on an exchange for which
there are no transactions on a given day or securities or instruments not listed
on an exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices.
Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the
absence of such a price, at the mean of the 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, the pricing
service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular security or
instrument, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish
fair market value using a wide variety of market data including yields or prices
of securities of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating,
market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other
information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics
considered relevant by the pricing service or the Board of Trustee's designee.
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 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 December 31, 2004,
Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) had an outstanding delayed delivery
purchase commitment of $3,689,904. There were no such outstanding purchase
commitments in Preferred and Convertible Income (JPC).
Investment Income
Dividend income on securities purchased and dividend expense on securities sold
short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when
information is available. Interest income, which includes the amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is
recorded on an accrual basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital
gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
48
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Distributions to Common shareholders 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
Dividends to Common shareholders are declared monthly. With respect to the REIT
securities held in the Funds' Portfolio of Investments, distributions received
by the Funds are generally comprised of investment income, long-term and
short-term capital gains, and a return of REIT capital. The actual character of
amounts received during the period is not known until after the fiscal year-end.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, the character of distributions to
the Funds from the REITs was as follows:
Preferred Preferred
and and
Convertible Convertible
Income Income 2
2004 (JPC) (JQC)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income* 83.15% 83.29%
Long-term and short-term capital gains 14.69 15.13
Return of REIT capital 2.16 1.58
================================================================================
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, the character of distributions to
the Funds from the REITs was as follows:
Preferred Preferred
and and
Convertible Convertible
Income Income 2
2003 (JPC) (JQC)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income* 84.04% 77.85%
Long-term and short-term capital gains .20 .17
Return of REIT capital 15.76 21.98
================================================================================
* Ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends,
interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any.
For the fiscal period ended December 31, 2004, each Fund applied the actual
character of distributions reported by the REITs in which the Fund invests to
its receipts from the REITs. If a REIT held in the portfolio of investments did
not report the actual character of its distributions during the period, the Fund
treated the distributions as ordinary income.
For fiscal periods ended prior to December 31, 2004, each Fund applied a
percentage estimate for the breakdown of income type, to its receipts from the
REITs and treated as income in the Statement of Operations only the amount of
ordinary income so calculated. Each Fund adjusted that estimated breakdown of
income type (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary in the
following calendar year when the REITs informed their shareholders of the actual
breakdown of income type.
For the fiscal period ended December 31, 2004, each Fund applied the actual
character of distributions reported by the REITs in which the Fund invests to
the distributions paid to each Funds shareholders.
With respect to the portion of each Fund's monthly distribution to its
shareholders derived from the Fund's investments in REIT securities for fiscal
periods ended prior to December 31, 2004, each Fund treated that portion of its
distribution as being entirely from net investment income. The Funds
recharacterized 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 each Fund's portfolio.
Consequently, the financial statements for fiscal periods ended prior to
December 31, 2004, may have reflected an over-distribution of net investment
income that was 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 were treated as something other than ordinary income.
49
Notes to
Financial Statements (continued)
FundPreferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding FundPreferred shares, $25,000 stated value
per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's FundPreferred
shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate on each Series is
determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the
auction agent, and is payable weekly at 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 TH2 -- 3,860
Series F 4,720 3,860
Series F2 4,720 3,860
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 28,320 38,600
================================================================================
Interest Rate Swap Transactions
The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use
of interest rate swap transactions is intended to mitigate the negative impact
that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on Common share net
earnings as a result of leverage. Interest rate swap transactions involve each
Fund's agreement with the 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 interest rate swap contract. Interest rate swaps do not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly,
the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is
limited to the net amount of interest payments that each Fund is to receive.
Interest rate swap positions are valued 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.
Due to recent clarification provided by the SEC to regulated investment
companies, effective with the July 31, 2004, reporting period, the Funds changed
the way they present net interest expense on interest rate swap transactions in
the financial statements. Net interest expense amounts paid during the year are
included in "Net realized gain (loss) from interest rate swap transactions". Net
interest expense amounts accrued, but not yet paid, at the end of the fiscal
year, are included in "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
interest rate swap transactions". Previously, net interest expense was presented
in "Expenses" and reported as "Net interest expense on interest rate swap
transactions". This reclassification does not alter the tax treatment of
interest rate payments on swap transactions which is to include such payments as
an operating expense for tax purposes.
50
Futures Contracts
Each Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of
securities the Fund owns. Each Fund bears the market risk arising from changes
in the value of these financial instruments. At the time a Fund enters into a
futures contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial
margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected.
Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract.
Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the
Fund as unrealized gains or losses on futures contracts. Risk may arise from the
potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. When
a contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
time is was closed.
Short Sales
The Funds are authorized to make short sales of securities if the Funds own at
least an equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into
securities of the same issuer. To secure its obligation to deliver 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. The Fund is obligated to pay to the party to
which the securities were sold short, dividends declared on the stock by the
issuer and records such amounts as expense in the Statement of Operations. Short
sales are valued daily and the corresponding unrealized gains or losses are
included in "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments."
Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds'
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.
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. Preferred and
Convertible Income's (JPC) and Preferred and Convertible Income 2's (JQC) share
of Common share offering costs ($1,749,867 and $1,766,467, respectively) were
recorded as reductions 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 ($14,594,079 and $19,727,060, respectively) were recorded as reductions
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.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles 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.

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 December 31, 2004, the cost of investments was as follows:

* Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends,
interest and net short-term capital gains, if any.
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.

Financial Statements (continued)
5. Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
As approved by the Board of Trustees, effective August 1, 2004, a complex-wide
management fee structure was adopted for all funds sponsored by the Adviser and
its affiliates. This fee structure separates each fund's management fee into two
components - a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all
funds assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, and a specific
fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual
fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from
growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the
amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates. Under
no circumstances will this pricing structure result in a fund paying management
fees at a rate higher than would otherwise have been applicable had the
complex-wide management fee structure not been implemented. As a consequence of
this new management fee structure, the funds' effective management fees were
reduced by approximately .009% as of January 31, 2005.
Effective August 1, 2004, the annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each
of the Funds is based upon the average daily Managed Assets of each Fund as
follows:
Average Daily Managed Assets Fund-Level Fee Rate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $500 million .7000%
For the next $500 million .6750
For the next $500 million .6500
For the next $500 million .6250
For Managed Assets over $2 billion .6000
================================================================================
Effective August 1, 2004, the annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which
is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S.,
is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as follows:
Complex-Level Assets(1) Complex-Level Fee Rate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $55 billion .2000%
For the next $1 billion .1800
For the next $1 billion .1600
For the next $3 billion .1425
For the next $3 billion .1325
For the next $3 billion .1250
For the next $5 billion .1200
For the next $5 billion .1175
For the next $15 billion .1150
For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds
in the U.S.
(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee
rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later
date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91
billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to
be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level
fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such
time as a different rate or rates is determined.
Each Fund paid through July 31, 2004, an annual management fee, payable monthly,
at the rates set forth below, which were based upon the average daily Managed
Assets of each Fund as follows:
Average Daily Managed Assets Management Fee Rate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Froley, Revy are compensated for their
services to the Funds from the management fees 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. The Board of
Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that
enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual
compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds.
Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had
been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds.
For the first eight years of Preferred and Convertible Income's (JPC)
operations, the Adviser has 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:

Reinvest Automatically
Easily and Conveniently
Sidebar text: Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. 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 the shares may increase before
purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the
market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer
shares than if the 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.
Flexible
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.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It
expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the
investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market
price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the
time period being considered.
Market Yield (also known as Dividend Yield or Current Yield): An investment's
current annualized dividend divided by its current market price.
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares
issued in order to leverage 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.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. 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 the Fund, except for those non-audit services
that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation
S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services
provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services
other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all
such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the
services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit
services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly
brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate)
approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its
Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that
would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. For
engagements entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Audit Committee is
required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related
directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those
subject to the de minimis exception described above). The Audit Committee
requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit
services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered
this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the audit committee if they are expected to be for amounts

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

ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy
or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security,
the Adviser would either engage an independent third party to determine how the
proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the
instructions, of the Fund's Board of Directors or Trustees or its
representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy would be
submitted to the applicable Fund's Board to determine how the proxy should be
voted. A member of the Adviser's legal department would oversee the
administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in
accordance with Rule 204-2(c)(2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17
CFR 275.204-2(c)(2)), reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the
results were provided to the Board of Directors or Trustees and made available
to shareholders as required by applicable rules.

Not applicable at this time.
ITEM 9. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT

Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
