LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
(TIMOTHY

Dear Shareholder:
Once again, I am pleased to report that over the six-month period covered by
this report your Fund continued to provide you with attractive income. For more
details about the management strategy and performance of your Fund, please read
the Investment Strategy and Management Update, Portfolio Managers' Comments, the
Dividend and Share Price Information, and the Performance Overview sections of
this report.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to report some important news about
Nuveen Investments. We have accepted a buyout offer from a private equity
investment firm. While this may affect the corporate structure of Nuveen
Investments, it will have no impact on the investment objectives of the Funds,
their portfolio management strategies or their dividend policies. We will
provide you with additional information about this transaction as more details
become available.
With the recent volatility in the stock market, many have begun to wonder which
way the market is headed, and whether they need to adjust their holdings of
investments. No one knows what the future will bring, which is why we think a
well-balanced portfolio that is structured and carefully monitored with the help
of an investment professional is an important component in achieving your
long-term financial goals. A well-diversified portfolio may actually help to
reduce your overall investment risk, and we believe that investments like your
Nuveen Investments Fund can be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted
to perform well through a variety of market conditions.
We are grateful that you have chosen us as a partner as you pursue your
financial goals and we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the
months and years ahead. At Nuveen Investments, our mission continues to be to
assist you and your financial advisor by offering investment services and
products that can help you to secure your financial objectives.
Sincerely,
(TIMOTHY SCHWERFEGER SIG)

Portfolio Managers' COMMENTS
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS CLOSED-END FUNDS JPC, JQC
These Funds are advised by Nuveen Asset Management (NAM), which has
responsibility for determining and overseeing the Funds' asset allocation. NAM
has selected a team of sub-advisers to manage the assets within each asset
class. The sub-advisers include specialists from Spectrum Asset Management,
Inc., (Spectrum), Symphony Asset Management, LLC (Symphony), and Tradewinds
Global Investors, LLC, a new sub-adviser of the Fund as discussed below
(Tradewinds). Symphony and Tradewinds are affiliates of Nuveen Investments.
Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal Capital(SM), manages preferred securities
positions within the income-oriented debt 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 and other debt markets, lead the team at
Spectrum.
Over the course of this reporting period, Symphony had primary responsibility
for the multi-strategy income sleeve invested in convertible, high yield and
senior loan securities and for the domestic and international equity sleeves.
The team at Symphony managing the multi-strategy income sleeve is led by Gunther
Stein and Lenny Mason, who have more than 25 years of combined investment
management experience.
The team responsible for managing the domestic equity sleeve is led by Praveen
Gottipalli and David Wang. During the reporting period, Symphony also assumed
responsibility for managing a portion of Funds' exposure to international
equities, a strategy led by Eric Olson. On a combined basis, these three equity
portfolio managers have more than 25 years of investment management experience.
NAM also has selected Tradewinds to manage a portion of the Funds' assets
invested in global equities and began the process of transferring assets to them
late in the reporting period. The Tradewinds team, which is led by Dave Iben,
assumed responsibility for this allocation during the period. Mr. Iben has more
than 25 years of investment management experience.
Here representatives from the sub-advisers talk about their management
strategies and the performance of both Funds for the six-month period ended June
30, 2007.
Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not
intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed
herein represent those of the portfolio managers as of the date of this report
and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions and other
factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of such
changes.

IN LIGHT OF THE CHANGES TO FUNDS' INVESTMENT POLICIES ANNOUNCED EARLIER THIS
YEAR, CAN YOU GENERALLY DESCRIBE THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND TACTICS OVER
THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007?
In 2006, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved a number of investment policy
changes designed to provide the Funds with greater flexibility to pursue their
investment objectives of high current income and total return. Last fall, the
Funds' Board of Trustees approved the following additional changes:
-- Eliminating the minimum required investment allocations to preferred
and/or convertible securities;
-- Expanding the types of the Funds' direct equity investments to include
international as well as domestic equities;
-- Increasing the percentage of the Funds' managed assets that can be
invested directly in domestic and international stocks as part of each
Fund's 30% allocation to equity-oriented investments; and
-- Adding Tradewinds as a sub-adviser to manage a portion of each Fund's
equity-oriented investments.
To better reflect the Funds' more diversified approach in pursuit of their
existing investment objectives, the Funds changed their names to the Nuveen
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund (JPC) and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and
Growth Fund 2 (JQC). The Funds continue to be comprised approximately 70% of
income-oriented investments and 30% of equity-oriented investments, although
during the six-month reporting period, the strategic asset mix within those
categories has transitioned to reflect the new investment policy changes.
Most notably during the period, both Funds changed the nature of their
convertible securities exposure, moving away from a relatively fixed, standalone
allocation in favor of a more dynamic allocation as part of the Funds' more
diversified debt and equity strategies. As a result, both Funds ended their
relationship with their sub-adviser that specialized in convertible securities
investments.
This transition process was still under way at the end of this reporting period
and additional information on the progress of both Funds will be provided in our
next shareholder report.

HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2007?
The performance of each Fund, as well as the performance of comparative
benchmark are presented in the accompanying table.
Cumulative Total Returns on Net Asset Value
For the six months ended 6-30-07
JPC 1.97%
JQC 2.46%
Comparative benchmark(1) 2.46%
As indicated in the accompanying table, both Funds posted positive results for
the six-month period. JPC underperformed the comparative benchmark, while JQC
performed in line with this measure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown.
Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may have to pay
on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares.
For additional information, please see the Performance Overview page for your
Fund in this report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT STRATEGIES DID THE SUB-ADVISERS EMPLOY DURING THE PERIOD?
In the portion of both portfolios that were invested in preferred securities,
Spectrum generally maintained a 60/40 mix between the $25 par preferred
securities generally favored by individual investors and the $1000 par capital
securities market that generally attracts institutional investors. Over the
six-month reporting period Spectrum increased both Funds' concentrations in $25
par securities due to their relative attractiveness. These securities generally
outperformed capital securities over this period because they were less
sensitive to the increases in U.S. Treasury (UST) yields that occurred in the
spring of 2007. For example, the yield spread between higher- and lower-rated
$25 par preferred securities tightened during the period by 7 basis points,
while a similar spread in the capital securities sector widened by 24 basis
points. This means that the prices of lower-rated $25 preferred securities
generally performed better than the prices of their capital securities
counterparts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Comparative benchmark performance is a blended return consisting of: 1) 33% of
the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index, an unmanaged index of
investment-grade, exchange traded preferred issues with outstanding market
values of at least $30 million and at least one year to maturity; 2) 27% of the
Lehman Tier 1 Capital Securities Index, an unmanaged index that includes
securities that can generally be viewed as hybrid fixed-income securities that
either receive regulatory capital treatment or a degree of "equity credit" from
a rating agency; 3) 30% of the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index,
consisting 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 4) 10% of the CSFB High Yield
Index, which includes approximately $375 billion of $U.S.-denominated high yield
debt with a minimum of $75 million in par value and at least one rating below
investment-grade. Index returns do not include the effects of any management
fees or fund expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, there was weakness in the prices of certain lower-rated securities,
reportedly because of several large sub-prime mortgage hedge funds that
liquidated assets to meet redemptions and margin calls. As the corporate credit
markets in the U.S. weakened, Spectrum sold a portion of the Funds' U.S. dollar
denominated securities that are listed and traded in Europe because these issues
were slower to respond to the generally weakening market. Spectrum reinvested
the proceeds from these sales primarily in $1000 par capital securities that it
believed offered improved income potential and better structural terms.
In the multi-strategy income sleeves of both Funds, Symphony continued to employ
a value-oriented strategy focused on relatively higher quality, non-investment
grade credits with relatively stronger fundamental business models, more
diversified revenue streams, stronger asset coverage and relatively low earnings
volatility. Symphony avoided positions where it identified escalating credit
issues, limited upside potential, or significant downside risk with weak asset
protection. In April and May, moderate amounts of new issuance, strong equity
markets and investors' demand for yield caused higher yielding issues to perform
relatively well and credit spreads to tighten. However, this trend reversed
sharply in June as high yield
6
spreads widened in response to increased new issue supply and concerns around
the sub-prime lending market. In fact, many high yield issues declined sharply
in value (i.e. their yields rose sharply) in mid- to late June as concerns about
subprime lenders increased and seemed to reduce investor appetite for risk.
The addition of direct exposure to core domestic equities, managed by Symphony,
enhanced total returns during the period. Symphony uses both quantitative and
qualitative methods to evaluate securities. The quantitative screening process
serves as the starting point for the decision making process. The qualitative
process then provides a systematic way of researching companies from a broad
prospective, ensuring the stocks selected for the portfolio are attractive in
all important respects. Over this period, these equity holdings performed well
and provided support for the Funds' managed distribution policy and the
distribution rate increase declared in May 2006.
Looking at the reporting period as a whole, several holdings of both JPC and JQC
performed well overall. JPC benefited from bond investments in Young
Broadcasting Inc., Primedia Inc., and Universal City Development Partners, and
strong performers in JQC included Young Broadcasting Inc., American Media, and
Primedia Inc.
On the other side, both Funds had several bond positions that constrained
performance over this reporting period. In the preferred securities sleeves of
the Funds, Spectrum purchased futures on U.S. Treasury notes and bonds in order
to manage the Funds' effective duration (price sensitivity to changes in
prevailing interest rates). The significant U.S. Treasury sell off in June
affected the Funds' performance and more than offset the benefits gained by the
futures positions earlier in the period.
Among the Funds' multi-strategy income holdings, Symphony's strategy of
investing in relatively higher quality names reduced the overall risk in the
portfolios. However, this limited the Funds' exposure to some of the upside in
the high-yield market that came from lower rated credits outperforming higher
rated credits over much of the period. Underperforming credits in JPC included
SunGard Data Systems Inc., Keystone Automotive, and electric utility company
Dynegy Holdings Inc. Underperformers in JQC include Dynegy Holdings Inc.,
Keystone Automotive, and MediaNews Group, Inc.

Distribution and Share Price
INFORMATION
We are providing you with information regarding your Fund's distributions. This
information is as of June 30, 2007, and likely will vary over time based on the
Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes. On March 1,
2007, Nuveen Investments announced that these Funds would be moving from a
monthly to a quarterly distribution schedule. The Funds' last monthly
distributions were paid on April 2, 2007, and first quarterly distributions were
paid on July 2, 2007.
Each of these Funds issues FundPreferred(TM) shares and uses financial leverage
in an effort to enhance its distribution-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 shareholders. As short-term rates rose
through this reporting period, the Funds paid higher dividends to their
FundPreferred shareholders.
Each Fund has a managed distribution policy. The goal of a managed distribution
program is to provide shareholders relatively consistent and predictable cash
flow by systematically converting its expected long-term return potential into
regular distributions. As a result, regular distributions throughout the year
will likely include a portion of expected long-term gains (both realized and
unrealized), along with net investment income.
Important points to understand about the managed distribution program are:
- Each Fund seeks to establish a relatively stable distribution rate that
roughly corresponds to the projected total return from its investment strategy
over an extended period of time. However, you should not draw any conclusions
about the Fund's past or future investment performance from its current
distribution rate.
- Actual returns will differ from projected long-term returns (and therefore the
Fund's distribution rate), at least over shorter time periods. Over a specific
timeframe, the difference between actual returns and total distributions will
be reflected in an increasing (returns exceed distributions) or a decreasing
(distributions exceed returns) Fund net asset value.
- Each distribution is expected to be paid from some or all of the following
sources:
- net investment income (regular interest and dividends),
- realized capital gains, and
- unrealized gains, or, in certain cases, a return of principal (non-taxable
distributions)
- A non-taxable distribution is a payment of a portion of a Fund's capital. When
a Fund's returns exceed distributions, it may represent portfolio gains
generated, but not realized as a taxable capital gain. In periods when a
Fund's return falls short of distributions, it will represent a portion of
your original principal unless the shortfall is offset during other time
8
periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent) when the
Fund's total return exceeds distributions.
- Because distribution source estimates are updated during the year, based on a
Fund's performance and forecast for its current fiscal year (which is the
calendar year for each Fund), these estimates may differ from both the tax
information reported to you in your Fund's IRS Form 1099 statement provided at
year end, as well as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the
life of your investment.
The following table provides estimated information regarding each Fund's
distributions and total return performance for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The distribution information is presented on a tax basis rather than on a
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. This information is
intended to help you better understand whether the Fund's returns for the
specified time period was sufficient to meet each Fund's distributions.
Information regarding such distributions in the future will likely vary based on
the Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes at that
time.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable
to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2) Non-income producing.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be
below investment grade.
(4) Investment is eligible for the Dividends Received Deduction.
(5) Senior Loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are
periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus an
assigned fixed rate. These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate
referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or (ii) the prime rate offered
by one or more major United States banks.
Senior Loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually
obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the disposition
of a Senior Loan.
(6) Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of
these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic
incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans may occur. As a result,
the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held may be substantially less than the
stated maturities shown.
(7) Position represents an unfunded Senior Loan commitment outstanding at June 30, 2007.
(8) Negative value represents unrealized depreciation on Senior Loan commitment at June 30,
2007.
(9) For disclosure purposes, Notional Amount is calculated by multiplying the number of
Contracts by the Strike Price by 100.
(10) The Fund may designate up to 100% of its Common Stock investments to cover outstanding
Call Options Written.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration
which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.
ADR American Depositary Receipt.
CORTS Corporate Backed Trust Securities.
DD1 Portion purchased on a delayed delivery basis.
PPLUS PreferredPlus Trust.
SATURNS Structured Asset Trust Unit Repackaging.
TBD Senior Loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Certain details
associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date of the
transaction. In addition, Senior Loans typically trade without accrued interest and
therefore a weighted average coupon rate is not available prior to settlement. At
settlement, if still unknown, the Borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the
final weighted average coupon rate and maturity date.

Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund 2 (continued)
Portfolio of INVESTMENTS as of 6-30-07 (Unaudited)
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net assets applicable
to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2) Non-income producing.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. are considered to be
below investment grade.
(4) Investment is eligible for the Dividends Received Deduction.
(5) Senior Loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are
periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term, floating lending rate plus an
assigned fixed rate. These floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate
referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ('LIBOR'), or (ii) the prime rate offered
by one or more major United States banks.
Senior Loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually
obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the disposition
of a Senior Loan.
(6) Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of
these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic
incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans may occur. As a result,
the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held may be substantially less than the
stated maturities shown.
(7) Position represents an unfunded Senior Loan commitment outstanding at June 30, 2007.
(8) Negative value represents unrealized depreciation on Senior Loan commitment at June 30,
2007.
(9) For disclosure purposes, Notional Amount is calculated by multiplying the number of
Contracts by the Strike Price by 100.
(10) The Fund may designate up to 100% of its Common Stock investments to cover outstanding
Call Options Written.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
144A Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. These investments may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration
which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.
ADR American Depositary Receipt.
CORTS Corporate Backed Trust Securities.
DD1 Portion purchased on a delayed delivery basis.
PPLUS PreferredPlus Trust.
SATURNS Structured Asset Trust Unit Repackaging.
TBD Senior Loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Certain details
associated with this purchase are not known prior to the settlement date of the
transaction. In addition, Senior Loans typically trade without accrued interest and
therefore a weighted average coupon rate is not available prior to settlement. At
settlement, if still unknown, the Borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the
final weighted average coupon rate and maturity date.

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 Multi-Strategy Income and
Growth Fund (JPC) and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund 2 (JQC). The
Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
diversified, closed-end management investment companies.
The Funds' Board of Trustees recently approved certain investment policy changes
designed to provide each Fund with greater flexibility to pursue their
investment objectives of high current income and total return. Each Fund is no
longer obligated to invest a minimum of their managed assets in preferred and/or
convertible securities. Such investments are now part of a broader strategy in
which each of the Funds will allocate their assets to maintain a strategic asset
mix of approximately 70% income-oriented debt securities and 30% equities and
equity-like securities. The Funds have been authorized to invest in direct
equity investments now including both domestic and international equities. In
addition each Fund has been authorized to increase the percentage of managed
assets that may be invested directly in equity securities. In order to implement
certain of these portfolio changes, Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), entered into a
sub-advisory agreement with Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC ("Tradewinds").
Tradewinds will manage a portion of each Fund's equity-oriented investments.
To better reflect the Funds' more diversified approach in pursuit of their
existing investment objectives, the Funds' Board of Trustees recently approved
the changing of the Funds' names from Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income
Fund ("JPC") and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 ("JQC") to
Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income
and Growth Fund 2, respectively.
Each Fund seeks to provide high income by investing primarily in a portfolio of
preferred securities, convertible securities, high yield securities and equity
securities.
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.
Investment Valuation
Exchange-listed securities and instruments, other than futures, 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. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official
Closing Price. 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.
Prices of other derivative instruments, fixed-income securities and senior loans
are generally provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds'
Board of Trustees. When price quotes are not readily available, the pricing
service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular investment, the
Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair value using
a wide variety of market data including yields or prices of investments 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. If the pricing service
is unable to supply a price for a derivative investment the Fund may use a
market quote provided by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is
determined that the market price for an investment or derivative instrument is
unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its
designee, may establish fair value in accordance with procedures established in
good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term investments are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
The senior loans in which the Funds invest are not listed on an organized
exchange and the secondary market for such investments may be less liquid
relative to markets for other fixed income securities. Consequently, the value
of senior loans, determined as described above, may differ significantly from
the value that would have been determined had there been an active market for
that senior loan.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Trade date for
senior loans purchased in the "primary market" is considered the date on which
the loan allocations are determined. Trade date for senior loans purchased in
the "secondary market" is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the
specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed
delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments 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/delayed delivery purchase
62
commitments. At June 30, 2007, Multi-Strategy Income and Growth (JPC) and
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth 2 (JQC) had outstanding when issued/delayed
delivery Purchase Commitments of $27,662,463 and $33,981,307, respectively.
Investment Income
Dividend income on securities purchased and dividend expense on securities sold
short, if any, 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. Interest income also includes paydown gains and
losses. Fee income, if any, consists primarily of amendment fees. Amendment fees
are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes to the original
loan agreement and are recognized when received.
Federal 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.
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
corporate income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
The Funds make quarterly cash distributions to Common shareholders of a stated
dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Funds' Board
of Trustees, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to
deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund's investment strategy
through regular quarterly distributions (a "Managed Distribution Policy"). Total
distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from each Fund's net
investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains
in the Fund's portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid from net
unrealized gains, if any, would be distributed from the Fund's assets and would
be treated by shareholders as a non-taxable distribution for tax purposes. If a
Fund's total return on net asset value exceeds total distributions during a
calendar year, the excess will be reflected as an increase in net asset value
per share. In the event that total distributions during a calendar year exceed a
Fund's total return on net asset value, the difference will be treated as a
return of capital for tax purposes and will reduce net asset value per share.
The final determination of the source and character of all distributions for the
fiscal year are made after the end of the fiscal year and are reflected in the
financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.
Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") distributions received by the Funds are
generally comprised of ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains,
and a return of REIT capital. The actual character of amounts received during
the period are not known until after the fiscal year-end.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the character of distributions to
the Funds from the REITs was as follows:
MULTI- MULTI-
STRATEGY STRATEGY
INCOME INCOME
AND AND
GROWTH GROWTH 2
(JPC) (JQC)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income 76.30% 78.38%
Long-term and short-term capital gains 23.61 21.50
Return of REIT capital 0.09 0.12
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
63
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Funds applied the actual
character of distributions reported by the REITs in which the Funds invest to
their 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
Funds treated the distributions as ordinary income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Funds applied the actual percentages
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, described above, to its receipts
from the REITs and treated as income in the Statement of Operations only the
amount of ordinary income so calculated. The Funds adjust that estimated
breakdown of income type (and consequently their net investment income) as
necessary early in the following calendar year when the REITs inform their
shareholders of the actual breakdown of income type.
The actual character of distributions made by the Funds during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2006, is reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The distributions made by the Funds during the six months ended June 30, 2007,
are provisionally classified as being "From and in excess of net investment
income", and those distributions will be classified as being from net investment
income, net realized capital gains and/or a return of capital for tax purposes
after the fiscal year end, based upon the income type breakdown information
conveyed at the time by the REITs whose securities are held in the Funds'
portfolios. For purposes of calculating "Undistributed (Over-distribution of)
net investment income" as of June 30, 2007, the distribution amounts
provisionally classified as "From and in excess of net investment income" were
treated as being entirely from net investment income. Consequently, the
financial statements at June 30, 2007, reflect an over-distribution of net
investment income.
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 paid by the Funds
on each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction
process overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate
period. The number of FundPreferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total,
for each Fund is as follows:
MULTI-STRATEGY MULTI-STRATEGY
INCOME AND INCOME AND
GROWTH (JPC) GROWTH 2 (JQC)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of shares:
Series M 4,720 3,860

Series F2 4,720 3,860
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 28,320 38,600
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to write (sell) call options. When the Funds write a
call option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less
commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the
current value of the written option until the option expires or the Funds enter
into a closing purchase transaction. When a call option expires or the Funds
enter into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net
premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on effecting a closing
purchase transaction, including commission, is treated as a net realized gain on
option contracts written or, if the net premium received is less than the amount
paid, as a net realized loss on option contracts written. The Funds, as writers
of a call option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of
the index underlying the written option.
64
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Funds are authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions.
The Funds may engage in foreign currency forward, swap, options and futures
contracts. To the extent that the Funds invest in contracts that are denominated
in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency
risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the
foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the
U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Funds' investments
denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer
U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative
value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the
spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of
valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend income denominated in
foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of
such transactions. The gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign
exchange rates on investments and derivative transactions, if any, are included
with Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currencies and Change in net
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currencies in the Statement of
Operations.
Interest Rate Swap Transactions
The Funds are authorized to invest in interest rate swap transactions. 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 or
receive a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying or
receiving 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.
Futures Contracts
The Funds are authorized to invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a
futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of
cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the
contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and the
value of the contract when originally entered into. Cash held by the broker to
cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is
recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the
variation margin when applicable.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.
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." At June 30, 2007, there were no outstanding short sales in either
Fund.
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
65
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
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.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which the Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their 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.
2. FUND SHARES
On February 3, 2006, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved an open market share
repurchase program as part of a broad, ongoing effort designed to support the
market prices of the Funds' common shares. Under the terms of the program, each
Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding Common shares.
Transactions in Common shares were as follows:

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
treatment of paydown gains and losses, recognition of premium amortization,
recognition of income on REIT investments, timing differences in the recognition
of income and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on
investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on
their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net
asset values of the Funds.
At June 30, 2007, the cost of investments was as follows:

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
The tax character of distributions paid during the Funds' last tax year ended
December 31, 2006, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction
as follows:
MULTI-STRATEGY MULTI-STRATEGY
INCOME AND INCOME AND
GROWTH GROWTH 2
(JPC) (JQC)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributions from net ordinary income * $118,807,924 $174,646,948

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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.
5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components -- a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, 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.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund 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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 stated in the tables below. As
of June 30, 2007, the complex-level fee rate was .1828%.
Effective August 20, 2007, the complex-level fee schedule is as follows:

(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
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is
responsible for the overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. During the
period the Adviser either had or entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with
Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum"), Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc.
("Froley, Revy"), Symphony Asset Management, LLC ("Symphony") and Tradewinds.
Spectrum manages the portion of the Funds' investment portfolios allocated to
preferred securities. Symphony manages the portion of the Funds' investment
portfolios allocated to debt securities and certain equity investments. As of
June 30, 2007, Froley, Revy no longer served as a sub-adviser to the Funds.
Froley, Revy previously managed the portion of the Funds' investment portfolios
allocated to convertible securities. Tradewinds manages the portion of the
Funds' investment portfolios allocated to global equities. Each sub-adviser is
compensated for its 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 Funds pay no compensation directly to those of their 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 Multi-Strategy Income and Growth'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:

Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with an investor
group majority-led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC. Madison Dearborn Partners,
LLC is a private equity investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The investor
group includes affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank
and Morgan Stanley. It is anticipated that Merrill Lynch and its affiliates will
be indirect "affiliated persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940) of the Funds. One important implication of this is that the
Funds will not be able to buy or sell securities to or from Merrill Lynch, but
the portfolio management teams and Fund management do not expect that this will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies. Under the terms of the merger, each outstanding share
of Nuveen Investments' common stock (other than dissenting shares) will be
converted into the right to receive a specified amount of cash, without
interest. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of the year, subject
to customary conditions, including obtaining the approval of Nuveen Investments
shareholders, obtaining necessary fund and client consents sufficient to satisfy
the terms of the Merger Agreement, and expiration of certain regulatory waiting
periods. The obligations of Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC to consummate the
merger are not conditioned on its obtaining financing.
The consummation of the merger will be deemed to be an "assignment" (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of the investment management agreement between each Fund and
the Adviser, and will result in the automatic termination of each Fund's
agreement. Prior to the consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that the
Board of Trustees of each Fund will consider a new investment management
agreement with the Adviser. If approved by the Board, the new agreement would be
presented to the Fund's shareholders for approval, and, if so approved by
shareholders, would take effect upon consummation of the merger. There can be no
assurance that the merger described above will be consummated as contemplated or
that necessary shareholder approvals will be obtained.
6. COMMITMENTS
Pursuant to the terms of certain of the variable rate senior loan agreements,
the Funds may have unfunded senior loan commitments. Each Fund will maintain
with its custodian, cash, liquid securities and/or liquid senior loans having an
aggregate value at least equal to the amount of unfunded senior loan
commitments. At June 30, 2007, both Multi-Strategy Income and Growth (JPC) and
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth 2 (JQC) had unfunded senior loan commitments of
$2,162,146.
7. SENIOR LOAN PARTICIPATION COMMITMENTS
With respect to the senior loans held in each Fund's portfolio, the Funds may:
1) invest in assignments; 2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates;
or 3) invest in participations. If the Fund purchases a participation of a
senior loan interest, the Fund would typically enter into a contractual
agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, rather
than directly with the Borrower. As such, the Fund not only assumes the credit
risk of the Borrower, but also that of the Selling Participant or other persons
interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower. At June 30, 2007, there were
no such outstanding participation commitments in either Fund.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
Effective June 29, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48).
FIN 48 provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the
course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax
positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold
would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management of
the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
that require recognition in the Funds' financial statements. Consequently, the
adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the net assets or results of operations of
the Funds.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the
application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. As of June 30, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of
Operations for the period.

* Annualized.
** Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period takes place over
several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price,
so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in
the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
dividend declared in the period may often be based on the fund's market
price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
*** After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

income" for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Board Members are responsible for overseeing the performance of the
investment adviser to the Funds and determining whether to continue the advisory
arrangements. In connection with recent changes to the investment mandates of
the Fund, the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, approved
Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC ("Tradewinds") as an additional sub-adviser to
the Funds and an amended sub-advisory agreement with Symphony Asset Management
LLC ("Symphony") at a meeting held on November 14, 2006. Such agreements were
also subject to shareholder approval. At the annual review meeting held on May
21, 2007 (the "May Meeting"), the Board Members of the Funds, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuance of the
Investment Management Agreement between each Fund (a "Fund") and Nuveen Asset
Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and the Sub-Advisory Agreements between NAM
and Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum"), Symphony and Tradewinds,
respectively. Spectrum, Symphony and Tradewinds are each a "Sub-Adviser," and
NAM and each Sub-Adviser are each a "Fund Adviser." The foregoing Investment
Management Agreements with NAM and Sub-Advisory Agreements with the respective
Sub-Adviser are hereafter referred to as "Original Investment Management
Agreements" and "Original Sub-Advisory Agreements," respectively.
Subsequent to the May Meeting, Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), the parent
company of NAM, entered into a merger agreement providing for the acquisition of
Nuveen by Windy City Investments, Inc., a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("MDP"), a private equity investment firm (the
"Transaction"). Each Original Investment Management Agreement and Original
Sub-Advisory Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (the "1940 Act") provides for its automatic termination in the event of
its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act). Any change in control of the
adviser is deemed to be an assignment. The consummation of the Transaction will
result in a change of control of NAM as well as its affiliated sub-advisers and
therefore cause the automatic termination of each Original Investment Management
Agreement and Original Sub-Advisory Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act.
Accordingly, in anticipation of the Transaction, at a meeting held on July 31,
2007 (the "July Meeting"), the Board Members, including the Independent Board
Members, unanimously approved new Investment Management Agreements (the "New
Investment Management Agreements") with NAM on behalf of each Fund and new
Sub-Advisory Agreements (the "New Sub-Advisory Agreements") between NAM and the
respective Sub-Adviser on behalf of each Fund to take effect immediately after
the Transaction or shareholder approval of the new advisory contracts, whichever
is later. The 1940 Act also requires that each New Investment Management
Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved by the respective Fund's
shareholders in order for it to become effective. Accordingly, to ensure
continuity of advisory services, the Board Members, including the Independent
Board Members, unanimously approved Interim Investment Management Agreements and
Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements to take effect upon the closing of the
Transaction if shareholders have not yet approved the New Investment Management
Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Because the information provided and considerations made at the prior reviews
continue to be relevant with respect to the evaluation of the New Investment
Management Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered the
foregoing as part of its deliberations of the New Investment Management
Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, as indicated, the
discussions immediately below outline the materials and information presented to
the Board in connection with the Board's prior reviews and the analysis
undertaken and the conclusions reached by Board Members when determining to
continue the Original Investment Management Agreements and Original Sub-Advisory
Agreements. In this regard, although Tradewinds did not begin to serve as a
Sub-Adviser to the Funds by the time of the May Meeting, Tradewinds served as
sub-adviser to other Nuveen funds. Accordingly, the information and
considerations regarding Tradewinds at the annual review continue to be relevant
with respect to the evaluation of Tradewinds and supplement the information
provided at the prior reviews.
74
I. APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS AND ORIGINAL
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials
relating to the services provided by the Fund Advisers and the performance of
the Funds (as applicable). At each of its quarterly meetings, the Board reviewed
investment performance (as applicable) and various matters relating to the
operations of the Funds and other Nuveen funds, including the compliance
program, shareholder services, valuation, custody, distribution and other
information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by
the Fund Adviser. Between the regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board
Members received information on particular matters as the need arose.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Independent
Board Members received extensive materials, well in advance of the meeting,
which outlined or are related to, among other things:
- the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Adviser;
- the organization and business operations of the Fund Adviser, including the
responsibilities of various departments and key personnel;
- each Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance compared to
funds with similar investment objectives based on data and information
provided by an independent third party and to recognized and/or customized
benchmarks (as appropriate);
- the profitability of the Fund Adviser and certain industry profitability
analyses for unaffiliated advisers;
- the expenses of the Fund Adviser in providing the various services;
- the advisory fees and total expense ratios of each Fund, including comparisons
of such fees and expenses with those of comparable, unaffiliated funds based
on information and data provided by an independent third party (the "Peer
Universe") as well as compared to a subset of funds within the Peer Universe
(the "Peer Group") of the respective Fund (as applicable);
- the advisory fees the Fund Adviser assesses to other types of investment
products or clients;
- the soft dollar practices of the Fund Adviser, if any; and
- from independent legal counsel, a legal memorandum describing among other
things, applicable laws, regulations and duties in reviewing and approving
advisory contracts.
At the May Meeting, NAM made a presentation to, and responded to questions from,
the Board. At the May Meeting, the Independent Board Members met privately with
their legal counsel to review the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts
and considering the renewal of the advisory contracts (which include the
sub-advisory contracts). The Independent Board Members, in consultation with
independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") directives relating to the renewal of
advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Board Members
considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund,
including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality
of the services to be provided by the Fund Adviser; (b) the investment
performance of the Fund and the Fund Adviser (as applicable); (c) the costs of
the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Fund Adviser and
its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized;
and (e) whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of
the Fund's investors. In addition, as noted, the Board Members met regularly
throughout the year to oversee the Funds. In evaluating the advisory contracts,
the Board Members also relied upon their knowledge of the respective Fund
Adviser, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other
interactions throughout the year. It is with this background that the Board
Members considered each advisory contract.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In considering the renewal of the Original Investment Management Agreements and
Original Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board Members considered the nature,
extent and quality of the respective Fund Adviser's services. The Board Members
reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser's
organization and
75

Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide
or are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the Fund (as
described in further detail below); and at the annual review, any initiatives
Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line. As noted, at the annual
review, the Board Members were already familiar with the organization,
operations and personnel of each respective Fund Adviser due to the Board
Members' experience in governing the respective Funds and working with such Fund
Advisers on matters relating to the Funds. At the May Meeting, the Board Members
also recognized NAM's investment in additional qualified personnel throughout
the various groups in the organization and recommended to NAM that it continue
to review staffing needs as necessary. The Board Members recognized NAM's
investment of resources and efforts to continue to enhance and refine its
investment processes.
With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board Members also received and reviewed
an evaluation of each Sub-Adviser from NAM at the annual review. Such evaluation
outlined, among other things, the respective Sub-Adviser's organizational
history, client base, product mix, investment team and any changes thereto,
investment process and any changes to its investment strategy, and the Funds'
investment objectives and performance (as applicable). At the May Meeting, the
Board Members noted that NAM recommended the renewal of the applicable Original
Sub-Advisory Agreements and considered the basis for such recommendations and
any qualifications in connection therewith. In its review of the Sub-Advisers,
the Board Members also considered, among other things, the experience of the
investment personnel, the quality of the respective Sub-Adviser's investment
processes in making portfolio management decisions and any additional
refinements and improvements adopted to the portfolio management processes and
Fund performance. During the last year, the Board Members noted that they
visited several sub-advisers meeting their key investment and business
personnel. In this regard, the Board Members visited Tradewinds in February,
2007. The Board Members noted such Sub-Adviser's experienced investment team.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative and non-advisory services provided by NAM and noted
that NAM and its affiliates provide the Funds with a wide variety of services
and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
Funds, including:
- product management;
- fund administration;
- oversight by shareholder services and other fund service providers;
- administration of Board relations;
- regulatory and portfolio compliance; and
- legal support.
As the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry and given the importance of
compliance, the Board Members considered, in particular, NAM's compliance
activities for the Funds and enhancements thereto. In this regard, the Board
Members recognized the quality of NAM's compliance team. The Board Members also
considered NAM's ability and procedures to monitor the respective Sub-Adviser's
performance, business practices and compliance policies and procedures. The
Board Members further noted NAM's negotiations with other service providers and
the corresponding reduction in certain service providers' fees at the May
Meeting.
In addition to the foregoing services, the Board Members also noted the
additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to Nuveen's closed-end
funds, including, in particular, its secondary market support activities. The
Board Members recognized Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety
of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding
of closed-end funds. These efforts include:
- maintaining shareholder communications;
- providing advertising for the Nuveen closed-end funds;
- maintaining its closed-end fund website;
76
- maintaining continual contact with financial advisers;
- providing educational symposia;
- conducting research with investors and financial analysis regarding closed-end
funds; and
- evaluating secondary market performance.
With respect to the Nuveen closed-end funds that utilize leverage through the
issuance of preferred shares ("Preferred Shares"), the Board Members noted
Nuveen's continued support for the holders of Preferred Shares by, among other
things:
- maintaining an in-house trading desk;
- maintaining a product manager for the Preferred Shares;
- developing distribution for Preferred Shares with new market participants;
- maintaining an orderly auction process;
- managing leverage and risk management of leverage; and
- maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency criteria.
With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Board Members noted that the sub-advisory
agreements were essentially agreements for portfolio management services only
and the respective Sub-Adviser was not expected to supply other significant
administrative services to the Funds.
Based on their review, the Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent
and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds
under the respective Original Investment Management Agreement or Original
Sub-Advisory Agreement, as applicable, were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND FUND ADVISERS
At the May Meeting, the Board considered the investment performance for each
Fund, including the Fund's historic performance as well as its performance
compared to funds with similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer
Group") based on data provided by an independent third party (as described
below). The Board Members also reviewed the respective Fund's historic
performance compared to recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable).
In evaluating the performance information during the annual review at the May
Meeting, in certain instances, the Board Members noted that the closest
Performance Peer Group for a fund may not adequately reflect such fund's
investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the usefulness of the
comparisons of such fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group.
These Performance Peer Groups include those for the Funds and for: the Nuveen
Diversified Dividend and Income Fund; the Nuveen Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate
Fund; the Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund; the Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage
Fund; the Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund; the Nuveen Equity Premium
Opportunity Fund; and the Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund. In addition,
the Board Members noted the recent changes to the investment mandates of the
Funds thereby limiting some of the usefulness of reviewing the Funds' past
performance.
The Board Members reviewed performance information including, among other
things, total return information compared with the respective Fund's Performance
Peer Group as well as recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as appropriate)
for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31,
2006. This information supplemented the performance information provided to the
Board at each of its quarterly meetings. Based on their review at the May
Meeting, the Board Members determined that the respective Fund's investment
performance over time had been satisfactory.

APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. Fees and Expenses
During the annual review, the Board evaluated the management fees and expenses
of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund's advisory fees (net and
gross management fees) and total expense ratios (before and after expense
reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as comparisons to the
gross management fees (before waivers), net management fees (after waivers)
and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) of comparable funds in the
Peer Universe and the Peer Group. In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund,
the Board Members considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint
schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and
reimbursements provided by Nuveen. The Board Members further reviewed data
regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as the methods of
measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the performance analysis. In
certain cases, due to the small number of peers in the Peer Universe, the Peer
Universe and Peer Group had significant overlap or even consisted entirely of
the same unaffiliated funds. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense
information, the Board Members recognized that in certain cases, the size of a
fund relative to peers, the small size and odd composition of the Peer Group
(including differences in objectives and strategies), expense anomalies,
timing of information used or other factors impacting the comparisons thereby
limited some of the usefulness of the comparative data. The Board Members also
considered the differences in the use of leverage. The Board Members also
noted the limited Peer Groups available for the Nuveen funds with multi-
sleeves of investments (e.g., the Funds, the Nuveen Diversified Dividend and
Income Fund and the Nuveen Tax-Advantaged Total Return Strategy Fund). Based
on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Board Members
determined that each Fund's net total expense ratio was within an acceptable
range compared to peers.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
At the annual review, the Board Members further reviewed data comparing the
advisory fees of NAM with fees NAM charges to other clients. Such clients
include NAM's separately managed accounts and funds that are not offered by
Nuveen but are sub-advised by one of Nuveen's investment management teams. In
general, the advisory fees charged for separate accounts are somewhat lower
than the advisory fees assessed to the Funds. The Board Members considered the
differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services
provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs
thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and
regulatory requirements. The Board Members noted, in particular, that the
range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more
extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. As described in
further detail above, such additional services include, but are not limited
to: product management, fund administration, oversight of third party service
providers, administration of Board relations, and legal support. The Board
Members noted that the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry requiring
extensive compliance functions compared to other investment products. Given
the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services
provided to the Funds, the Board Members believe such facts justify the
different levels of fees.
With respect to the Sub-Advisers, in considering the fees of a Sub-Adviser,
the Board Members also considered the pricing schedule or fees that the
Sub-Adviser charges for similar investment management services for other fund
sponsors or clients, as applicable. With respect to Symphony, the Board
Members also reviewed the generally higher fees for equity and taxable fixed
income hedge funds and hedge accounts it manages, which include a performance
fee. With respect to sub-advisers unaffiliated with Nuveen, such as Spectrum,
the Board Members noted that such fees were the result of arm's-length
negotiations.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Board Members also considered the
profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated
Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. At
the annual review, the Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of
Nuveen's advisory activities for the last three years, the allocation
methodology used in preparing the profitability data as well as the 2006
Annual
78
Report for Nuveen. The Board Members noted this information supplemented the
profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep
them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee
waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Board
Members noted the enhanced dialogue and information regarding profitability
with NAM during the year, including more frequent meetings and updates from
Nuveen's corporate finance group. The Board Members considered Nuveen's
profitability compared with other fund sponsors prepared by three independent
third party service providers as well as comparisons of the revenues, expenses
and profit margins of various unaffiliated management firms with similar
amounts of assets under management prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Board Members recognized the subjective nature
of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors
including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Board Members recognized
the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers
generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is
available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative
of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser's
particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense
allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board Members reviewed Nuveen's methodology
at the annual review and assumptions for allocating expenses across product
lines to determine profitability. Last year, the Board Members also designated
an Independent Board Member as a point person for the Board to review the
methodology determinations during the year and any refinements thereto, which
relevant information produced from such process was reported to the full Board.
In reviewing profitability, the Board Members recognized Nuveen's increased
investment in its fund business. Based on its review, the Board Members
concluded that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was
reasonable in light of the services provided. With respect to sub-advisers
unaffiliated with Nuveen, such as Spectrum, the Board Members also considered
the Sub-Adviser's revenues from serving as Sub-Adviser to the Funds, expenses
(including the basis for allocating expenses) and profitability margins (pre-and
post-tax). Based on their review, the Board Members were satisfied that the
respective Fund Adviser's level of profitability was reasonable in light of the
services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also
considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Funds as well as any
indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser
and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly
attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for
additional information on indirect benefits a Fund Adviser may receive as a
result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall
fee arrangement of each Fund, the Board Members determined that the advisory
fees and expenses of the Funds were reasonable.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
With respect to economies of scale, the Board Members recognized the potential
benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset
base. To help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits, the Board Members
reviewed and considered the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that
reduce advisory fees. In addition to advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also
approved a complex-wide fee arrangement in 2004. Pursuant to the complex-wide
fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the
Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Board Members noted that the
last complex-wide asset level breakpoint for the complex-wide fee schedule was
at $91 billion and that the Board Members anticipated further review and/or
negotiations prior to the assets of the Nuveen complex reaching such threshold.
Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedule
and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and desirable in providing
benefits from economies of scale to shareholders, subject to further evaluation
of the complex-wide fee schedule as assets in the complex increase. See Section
II, Paragraph D -- "Approval of the New Investment Management Agreements and New
Sub-Advisory Agreements -- Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect
These Economies of Scale" for information regarding subsequent modifications to
the complex-wide fee.
79
Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Board Members also considered any indirect benefits or
profits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of
its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Board Members considered
the revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's
preferred trading desk and for serving as a co-manager in the initial public
offering of new closed-end exchange traded funds.
In addition to the above, the Board Members considered whether the Fund Adviser
received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that
may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other
clients. With respect to NAM, the Board Members noted that NAM does not
currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona
fide agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a
principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating
"commissions," NAM intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
With respect to Tradewinds, the Board Members considered that such Sub-Adviser
may benefit from its soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives
research from brokers that execute a Fund's portfolio transactions. For this
Sub-Adviser, the Board Members noted that such Sub-Adviser's profitability may
be lower if it were required to pay for this research with hard dollars. With
respect to Spectrum, the Board noted that such Sub-Adviser does not pay excess
brokerage commissions in order to receive research services but may from time to
time receive research generally provided to a broker's clients. With respect to
Symphony, the Board also considered that such Sub-Adviser currently does not
enter into soft dollar arrangements; however, it has adopted a soft dollar
policy in the event it does so in the future.
Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits
received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were
reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling in their considerations to continue an advisory
contract. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members,
unanimously concluded that the terms of the Original Investment Management and
Original Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the respective
Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each
Fund and that the Original Investment Management Agreements and the Original
Sub-Advisory Agreements be renewed.
II. APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS AND NEW SUB-ADVISORY
AGREEMENTS
Following the May Meeting, the Board Members were advised of the potential
Transaction. As noted above, the completion of the Transaction would terminate
each of the Original Investment Management Agreements and Original Sub-Advisory
Agreements. Accordingly, at the July Meeting, the Board of each Fund, including
the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the New Investment
Management Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements on behalf of the
respective Funds. Leading up to the July Meeting, the Board Members had several
meetings and deliberations with and without Nuveen management present, and with
the advice of legal counsel, regarding the proposed Transaction as outlined
below.
On June 8, 2007, the Board Members held a special telephonic meeting to discuss
the proposed Transaction. At that meeting, the Board Members established a
special ad hoc committee comprised solely of Independent Board Members to focus
on the Transaction and to keep the Independent Board Members updated with
developments regarding the Transaction. On June 15, 2007, the ad hoc committee
discussed with representatives of NAM the Transaction and modifications to the
complex-wide fee schedule that would generate additional fee savings at
specified levels of complex-wide asset growth. Following the foregoing meetings
and several subsequent telephonic conferences among Independent Board Members
and independent counsel, and between Independent Board Members and
representatives of Nuveen, the Board met on June 18, 2007 to further discuss the
proposed Transaction. Immediately prior to and then again during the June 18,
2007 meeting, the Independent Board
80
Members met privately with their independent legal counsel. At that meeting, the
Board met with representatives of MDP, of Goldman Sachs, Nuveen's financial
adviser in the Transaction, and of the Nuveen Board to discuss, among other
things, the history and structure of MDP, the terms of the proposed Transaction
(including the financing terms), and MDP's general plans and intentions with
respect to Nuveen (including with respect to management, employees, and future
growth prospects). On July 9, 2007, the Board also met to be updated on the
Transaction as part of a special telephonic Board meeting. The Board Members
were further updated at a special in-person Board meeting held on July 19, 2007
(one Independent Board Member participated telephonically). Subsequently, on
July 27, 2007, the ad hoc committee held a telephonic conference with
representatives of Nuveen and MDP to further discuss, among other things, the
Transaction, the financing of the Transaction, retention and incentive plans for
key employees, the effect of regulatory restrictions on transactions with
affiliates after the Transaction, and current volatile market conditions and
their impact on the Transaction.
In connection with their review of the New Investment Management Agreements and
New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members, through their
independent legal counsel, also requested in writing and received additional
information regarding the proposed Transaction and its impact on the provision
of services by NAM and its affiliates.
The Independent Board Members received, well in advance of the July Meeting,
materials which outlined, among other things:
- the structure and terms of the Transaction, including MDP's co-investor
entities and their expected ownership interests, and the financing
arrangements that will exist for Nuveen following the closing of the
Transaction;
- the strategic plan for Nuveen following the Transaction;
- the governance structure for Nuveen following the Transaction;
- any anticipated changes in the operations of the Nuveen funds following the
Transaction, including changes to NAM's and Nuveen's day-to-day management,
infrastructure and ability to provide advisory, distribution or other
applicable services to the Funds;
- any changes to senior management or key personnel who work on Fund related
matters (including portfolio management, investment oversight, and
legal/compliance) and any retention or incentive arrangements for such
persons;
- any anticipated effect on each Fund's expense ratio (including advisory fees)
following the Transaction;
- any benefits or undue burdens imposed on the Funds as a result of the
Transaction;
- any legal issues for the Funds as a result of the Transaction;
- the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided to the
Funds following the Transaction, changes to any existing services and policies
affecting the Funds, and cost-cutting efforts, if any, that may impact such
services or policies;
- any conflicts of interest that may arise for Nuveen or MDP with respect to the
Funds;
- the costs associated with obtaining necessary shareholder approvals and who
would bear those costs; and
- from legal counsel, a memorandum describing the applicable laws, regulations
and duties in approving advisory contracts, including, in particular, with
respect to a change of control.
Immediately preceding the July Meeting, representatives of MDP met with the
Board to further respond to questions regarding the Transaction. After the
meeting with MDP, the Independent Board Members met with independent legal
counsel in executive session. At the July Meeting, Nuveen also made a
presentation and responded to questions. Following the presentations and
discussions of the materials presented to the Board, the Independent Board
Members met again in executive session with their counsel. As outlined in more
detail below, the Independent Board Members considered all factors they believed
relevant with respect to each Fund, including the impact that the Transaction
could be expected to have on the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality
of services to be provided; (b) the investment performance of the Funds; (c) the
costs of the services and profits to be realized by Nuveen and its affiliates;
(d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized; and (e) whether
fee levels
81
Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of investors. As noted above,
during the past year, the Board Members had completed their annual review of the
respective Original Investment Management Agreements and Original Sub-Advisory
Agreements and many of the factors considered at such reviews were applicable to
their evaluation of the New Investment Management Agreements and New
Sub-Advisory Agreements. Accordingly, in evaluating such agreements, the Board
Members relied upon their knowledge and experience with the Fund Advisers and
considered the information received and their evaluations and conclusions drawn
at the reviews. While the Board reviewed many Nuveen funds at the July Meeting,
the Independent Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a
fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of
each Fund.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be
provided by the Fund Adviser under the applicable New Investment Management
Agreement or New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Board Members
considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction
on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of NAM and each
Sub-Adviser (if applicable); the potential implications of regulatory
restrictions on the Funds following the Transaction; the ability of NAM and its
affiliates to perform their duties after the Transaction; and any anticipated
changes to the current investment and other practices of the Funds.
The Board noted that the terms of each New Investment Management Agreement,
including the fees payable thereunder, are substantially identical to those of
the Original Investment Management Agreement relating to the same Fund (with
both reflecting reductions to fee levels in the complex-wide fee schedule for
complex-wide assets in excess of $80 billion that have an effective date of
August 20, 2007). Similarly, the terms of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement,
including fees payable thereunder, are substantially identical to those of the
respective Original Sub-Advisory Agreement relating to the same Fund. The Board
considered that the services to be provided and the standard of care under the
New Investment Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements are the
same as the corresponding original agreements. The Board Members noted the
Transaction does not alter the allocation of responsibilities between the
Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The respective Sub-Adviser will continue to furnish an
investment program in respect of, make investment decisions for and place all
orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the portion of each Fund's
investment portfolio allocated by the Adviser to the respective Sub-Adviser, all
on behalf of the applicable Fund and subject to oversight of the Board and the
Adviser. The Board Members further noted that key personnel of the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser who have responsibility for the Funds in each area, including
portfolio management, investment oversight, fund management, fund operations,
product management, legal/compliance and board support functions, are expected
to be the same following the Transaction. The Board Members considered and are
familiar with the qualifications, skills and experience of such personnel. The
Board also considered certain information regarding any anticipated retention or
incentive plans designed to retain key personnel. Further, the Board Members
noted that no changes to Nuveen's infrastructure (including at the affiliated
sub-adviser level) or operations as a result of the Transaction were anticipated
other than potential enhancements as a result of an expected increase in the
level of investment in such infrastructure and personnel. The Board noted MDP's
representations that it does not plan to have a direct role in the management of
Nuveen, appointing new management personnel, or directly impacting individual
staffing decisions. The Board Members also noted that there were not any planned
"cost cutting" measures that could be expected to reduce the nature, extent or
quality of services. After consideration of the foregoing, the Board Members
concluded that no diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services
provided to the Funds and their shareholders by the respective Fund Advisers is
expected.
In addition to the above, the Board Members considered potential changes in the
operations of each Fund. In this regard, the Board Members considered the
potential effect of regulatory restrictions on the Funds' transactions with
future affiliated persons. During their deliberations, it was noted that, after
the Transaction, a subsidiary of Merrill Lynch is expected to have an ownership
interest in Nuveen at a level that will make Merrill Lynch an affiliated person
82
of Nuveen. The Board Members recognized that applicable law would generally
prohibit the Funds from engaging in securities transactions with Merrill Lynch
as principal, and would also impose restrictions on using Merrill Lynch for
agency transactions. They recognized that having MDP and Merrill Lynch as
affiliates may restrict the Nuveen funds' ability to invest in securities of
issuers controlled by MDP or issued by Merrill Lynch and its affiliates even if
not bought directly from MDP or Merrill Lynch as principal. They also recognized
that various regulations may require the Nuveen funds to apply investment
limitations on a combined basis with affiliates of Merrill Lynch. The Board
Members considered information provided by NAM regarding the potential impact on
the Nuveen funds' operations as a result of these regulatory restrictions. The
Board Members considered, in particular, the Nuveen funds that may be impacted
most by the restricted access to Merrill Lynch, including: municipal funds
(particularly certain state-specific funds), senior loan funds, taxable fixed
income funds, preferred security funds and funds that heavily use derivatives.
The Board Members considered such funds' historic use of Merrill Lynch as
principal in their transactions and information provided by NAM regarding the
expected impact resulting from Merrill Lynch's affiliation with Nuveen and
available measures that could be taken to minimize such impact. NAM informed the
Board Members that, although difficult to determine with certainty, its
management did not believe that MDP's or Merrill Lynch's status as an affiliate
of Nuveen would have a material adverse effect on any Nuveen fund's ability to
pursue its investment objectives and policies.
In addition to the regulatory restrictions considered by the Board, the Board
Members also considered potential conflicts of interest that could arise between
the Nuveen funds and various parties to the Transaction and discussed possible
ways of addressing such conflicts.
Based on its review along with its considerations regarding services at the
annual review, the Board concluded that the Transaction was not expected to
adversely affect the nature, quality or extent of services provided by the
respective Fund Adviser and that the expected nature, quality and extent of such
services supported approval of the New Investment Management Agreements and New
Sub-Advisory Agreements.
B. PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS
With respect to the performance of the Funds, the Board considered that the
portfolio management personnel responsible for the management of the Funds'
portfolios were expected to continue to manage the portfolios following the
completion of the Transaction.
In addition, the Board Members recently reviewed Fund performance at the May
Meeting, as described above, and determined such Funds' performance was
satisfactory or better. The Board Members further noted that the investment
policies and strategies were not expected to change as a result of the
Transaction.
In light of the foregoing factors, along with the prior findings regarding
performance at the annual review, the Board concluded that its findings with
respect to performance supported approval of the New Investment Management
Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
As described in more detail above, during the annual review, the Board Members
considered, among other things, the management fees and expenses of the Funds,
the breakpoint schedules, and comparisons of such fees and expenses with peers.
At the annual review, the Board Members determined that the respective Fund's
advisory fees and expenses were reasonable. In evaluating the profitability of
the Fund Adviser under the New Investment Management Agreements and New
Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board Members considered their conclusions at their
prior reviews and whether the management fees or other expenses would change as
a result of the Transaction. As described above, the investment management fee
for NAM is composed of two components -- a fund-level component and complex-wide
level component. The fee schedule under the New Investment Management Agreements
to be paid to NAM is identical to that under the Original Investment Management
Agreements, including the modified complex-wide fee schedule. As noted above,
the Board recently approved a modified complex-wide fee schedule that would
generate additional fee savings on complex-wide assets above $80 billion. The
modifications have an effective date of August 20, 2007 and are part of the
Original Investment
83
Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
Management Agreements. Accordingly, the terms of the complex-wide component
under the New Investment Management Agreements are the same as under the
Original Investment Management Agreements. The Board Members also noted that
Nuveen has committed for a period of two years from the date of closing of the
Transaction that it will not increase gross management fees for any Nuveen fund
and will not reduce voluntary expense reimbursement levels for any Nuveen fund
from their currently scheduled prospective levels. Based on the information
provided, the Board Members did not expect that overall Fund expenses would
increase as a result of the Transaction.
In addition, the Board Members considered that additional fund launches were
anticipated after the Transaction which would result in an increase in total
assets under management in the complex and a corresponding decrease in overall
management fees under the complex-wide fee schedule. Taking into consideration
the Board's prior evaluation of fees and expenses at the annual renewal, and the
modification to the complex-wide fee schedule, the Board determined that the
management fees and expenses were reasonable.
While it is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty the impact of the
Transaction on Nuveen's profitability for its advisory activities (which
includes its affiliated sub-advisers), at the recent annual review, the Board
Members were satisfied that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory
activities was reasonable. During the year, the Board Members had noted the
enhanced dialogue regarding profitability and the appointment of an Independent
Board Member as a point person to review methodology determinations and
refinements in calculating profitability. Given their considerations at the
annual review and the modifications to the complex-wide fee schedule, the Board
Members were satisfied that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory
activities continues to be reasonable.
With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the fees paid under the New Sub-Advisory
Agreements are the same as the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements. With respect to
sub-advisers unaffiliated with Nuveen, such as Spectrum, the Board Members
considered the Sub-Adviser's revenues from serving as Sub-Adviser to the Funds,
expenses (including the basis for allocating expenses) and profitability margins
(pre- and post-tax) at the annual review. The Transaction is not anticipated to
affect the profitability of such Sub-Adviser. At the annual review, the Board
Members were satisfied that the respective Fund Adviser's level of profitability
was reasonable in light of the services provided. Taking into account the
Board's prior evaluation and the fact that sub-advisory fees will not change,
the Board Members were satisfied that the respective Fund Advisers' levels of
profitability were reasonable in light of the services provided.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Board Members have been cognizant of economies of scale and the potential
benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset
base. To help ensure that shareholders share in the benefits derived from
economies of scale, the Board adopted the complex-wide fee arrangement in 2004.
At the May Meeting, the Board Members reviewed the complex-wide fee arrangements
and noted that additional negotiations may be necessary or appropriate as the
assets in the complex approached the $91 billion threshold. In light of this
assessment coupled with the upcoming Transaction, at the June 15, 2007 meeting,
the ad hoc committee met with representatives of Nuveen to further discuss
modifications to the complex-wide fee schedule that would generate additional
savings for shareholders as the assets of the complex grow. The proposed terms
for the complex-wide fee schedule are expressed in terms of targeted cumulative
savings at specified levels of complex-wide assets, rather than in terms of
targeted marginal complex-wide fee rates. Under the modified schedule, the
schedule would generate additional fee savings beginning at complex-wide assets
of $80 billion in order to achieve targeted cumulative annual savings at $91
billion of $28 million on a complex-wide level (approximately $0.6 million
higher than those generated under the then current schedule) and generate
additional fee savings for asset growth above complex-wide assets of $91 billion
in order to achieve targeted annual savings at $125 billion of assets of
approximately $50 million on a complex-wide level (approximately $2.2 million
higher annually than that generated under the then current schedule). At the
July Meeting, the Board approved the modified complex-wide fee schedule for the
Original Investment Management Agreements and these same terms will apply to the
New Investment Management Agreements.
84
Accordingly, the Board Members believe that the breakpoint schedules and revised
complex-wide fee schedule are appropriate and desirable in ensuring that
shareholders participate in the benefits derived from economies of scale.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
During their recent annual review, the Board Members considered any indirect
benefits that the Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with
the Funds, as described above. As the policies and operations of the Fund
Advisers are not anticipated to change significantly after the Transaction, such
indirect benefits should remain after the Transaction. The Board Members further
considered any additional indirect benefits to be received by the Fund Adviser
or its affiliates after the Transaction. The Board Members noted that other than
benefits from its ownership interest in Nuveen and indirect benefits from fee
revenues paid by the Funds under the management agreements and other
Board-approved relationships, it was currently not expected that MDP or its
affiliates would derive any benefit from the Funds as a result of the
Transaction or transact any business with or on behalf of the Funds (other than
perhaps potential Fund acquisitions, in secondary market transactions, of
securities issued by MDP portfolio companies); or that Merrill Lynch or its
affiliates would derive any benefits from the Funds as a result of the
Transaction (noting that, indeed, Merrill Lynch would stand to experience the
discontinuation of principal transaction activity with the Nuveen funds and
likely would experience a noticeable reduction in the volume of agency
transactions with the Nuveen funds).
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
In addition to the factors above, the Board Members also considered the
following with respect to the Funds:
- Nuveen would rely on the provisions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section
15(f) provides, in substance, that when a sale of a controlling interest in an
investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated
persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long
as (i) during the three-year period following the consummation of a
transaction, at least 75% of the investment company's board of directors must
not be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment
adviser or predecessor adviser and (ii) an "unfair burden" (as defined in the
1940 Act, including any interpretations or no-action letters of the SEC) must
not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction
relating to the sale of such interest, or any express or implied terms,
conditions or understanding applicable thereto. In this regard, to help ensure
that an unfair burden is not imposed on the Nuveen funds, Nuveen has committed
for a period of two years from the date of the closing of the Transaction (i)
not to increase gross management fees for any Nuveen fund; (ii) not to reduce
voluntary expense reimbursement levels for any Nuveen fund from their
currently scheduled prospective levels during that period; (iii) that no
Nuveen fund whose portfolio is managed by a Nuveen affiliate shall use Merrill
Lynch as a broker with respect to portfolio transactions done on an agency
basis, except as may be approved in the future by the Compliance Committee of
the Board; and (iv) that each adviser/portfolio team affiliated with Nuveen
shall not cause the Funds (or sleeves thereof) and other Nuveen funds that the
team manages, as a whole, to enter into portfolio transactions with or through
the other minority owners of Nuveen, on either a principal or an agency basis,
to a significantly greater extent than both what one would expect an
investment team to use such firm in the normal course of business, and what
such team has historically done, without prior Board or Compliance Committee
approval (excluding the impact of proportionally increasing the use of such
other "minority owners" to fill the void necessitated by not being able to use
Merrill Lynch).
- The Funds would not incur any costs in seeking the necessary shareholder
approvals for the New Investment Management Agreements or New Sub-Advisory
Agreements (except for any costs attributed to seeking shareholder approvals
of Fund specific matters unrelated to the Transaction, such as approval of
Board Members or changes to investment policies, in which case a portion of
such costs will be borne by the applicable Funds).
- The reputation, financial strength and resources of MDP.
- The long-term investment philosophy of MDP and anticipated plans to grow
Nuveen's business to the benefit of the Nuveen funds.
- The benefits to the Nuveen funds as a result of the Transaction including: (i)
as a private company, Nuveen may have more flexibility in making additional
investments in its business; (ii) as a private company, Nuveen may be
85
Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
better able to structure compensation packages to attract and retain talented
personnel; (iii) as certain of Nuveen's distribution partners are expected to
be equity or debt investors in Nuveen, Nuveen may be able to take advantage of
new or enhanced distribution arrangements with such partners; and (iv) MDP's
experience, capabilities and resources that may help Nuveen identify and
acquire investment teams or firms and finance such acquisitions.
- The historic premium and discount levels at which the shares of the Nuveen
funds have traded at specified dates with particular focus on the premiums and
discounts after the announcement of the Transaction, taking into consideration
recent volatile market conditions and steps or initiatives considered or
undertaken by NAM to address discount levels.
G. CONCLUSION
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board
Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Investment Management
Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the
fees therein are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to each Fund
and that the New Investment Management Agreements and New Sub-Advisory
Agreements should be approved and recommended to shareholders.
III. APPROVAL OF INTERIM CONTRACTS
As noted above, at the July Meeting, the Board Members, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the Interim Investment
Management Agreements and Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements. If necessary to
assure continuity of advisory services, the Interim Investment Management
Agreements and Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements will take effect upon the closing
of the Transaction if shareholders have not yet approved the New Investment
Management Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements. The terms of each Interim
Investment Management Agreement and Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement are
substantially identical to those of the corresponding Original Investment
Management Agreement and New Investment Management Agreement and the Original
Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, except for
certain term and escrow provisions. In light of the foregoing, the Board
Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously determined that
the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Funds under the
respective Interim Investment Management Agreement and Interim Sub-Advisory
Agreement are at least equivalent to the scope and quality of services provided
under the applicable Original Investment Management Agreement and Original
Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your
reinvestment account.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End 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 tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
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. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. 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.
87
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): Market yield is
based on the Fund's current annualized monthly distribution divided by the
Fund's current market price. The Fund's monthly distributions to its
shareholders may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains
and, if at the end of the calendar year the Fund's cumulative net ordinary
income and net realized gains are less than the amount of the Fund's
distributions, a tax return of capital.
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred 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.
