Portfolio Managers' COMMENTS
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS CLOSED-END FUNDS JPC, JQC
These Funds have been managed since their inceptions in 2003 by Nuveen Asset
Management (NAM), which has responsibility for determining and overseeing the
Funds' asset allocations. NAM has selected a team of sub-advisers to manage the
investments within each of the selected asset classes. These subadvisers include
specialists from Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (Spectrum), Symphony Asset
Management, LLC (Symphony), and Tradewinds Global Investors, LLC (Tradewinds).
Symphony and Tradewinds are affiliates of Nuveen Investments.
Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal Capital(SM), manages preferred securities
positions within the income-oriented 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.
Symphony has primary responsibility for investments in convertible, high yield
and senior loan securities, and for domestic and international equity
investments. The team at Symphony managing the convertible, high yield and
senior loan portions of each portfolio is led by Gunther Stein and Lenny Mason,
who have more than 25 years of combined investment management experience. The
Symphony team responsible for managing domestic equity investments is led by
Praveen Gottipalli and David Wang, while the group overseeing the Funds'
international equity exposure is led by Eric Olson. On a combined basis, these
three equity portfolio managers have more than 25 years of investment management
experience.
Tradewinds began managing a portion of the Funds' assets invested in global
equities in the spring of 2007. The Tradewinds team is led by Dave Iben, who has
more than 25 years of investment management experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here representatives from Spectrum, Symphony and Tradewinds talk about their
management strategies and the performance of both Funds for the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2007.
WHAT WERE THE GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS DURING THE ANNUAL
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007?
During the first part of the period, equities generally performed well as
favorable corporate earnings and export-driven economic growth were sufficient
to offset some growing anxiety over the deteriorating housing and mortgage
markets. The second half of the year was dominated by concerns about the impact
of possible sub-prime mortgage defaults and fears of a recession, especially as
the impact began to spread beyond mortgage lenders to interna-
4
tional and domestic money center banks and other financial institutions. When
data began to show the potential for a severely weakening economy, the Federal
Reserve cut the widely followed short-term fed funds rate by a half a percentage
point in September, by another quarter of a percentage point in October and yet
another quarter point in December. (On January 22 and 29, 2008, after the close
of this reporting period, the Federal Reserve cut the fed funds rate by a
combined 1.25%, bringing the rate to 3.00%.)
During 2007, the volatility caused by sub-prime mortgage concerns severely
impacted the preferred securities market. Over 70% of preferred securities come
from issuers in the financial service sector, and the fourth quarter of 2007 was
the worst quarter on record for the $25 par preferred market, These securities,
as well as $1000 par capital market preferreds, experienced heavy selling
(exacerbated by year-end tax loss selling) late in 2007 as the Merrill Lynch
Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index fell by more than 9% in the fourth
quarter alone. In addition, there was a large calendar of new issuance late in
the calendar year. Net preferred issuance totaled about $40 billion in the
fourth quarter, with $17.7 billion in December alone. That was greater than the
net issuance for any of the past four entire years, and expanded the size of the
total preferred market by roughly 10%. This new supply forced a re-pricing of
the entire market, pulling down the prices of all existing issues.
The U.S. equity markets also suffered through significant turbulence during the
year, as concerns about the credit markets, a slowing economy and rising
commodity prices (particularly oil) weighed on investor sentiment. Additionally,
recent inflation reports have not been favorable, further raising investor
concerns about the equity market's prospects. Nevertheless, several leading
market indicators did finish 2007 with positive returns, including the S&P 500
Index (up 5.49%) and the Russell 3000 Index (up 5.14%).
Global equity markets generally registered positive returns in 2007, despite
increased volatility in the second half of the year. Many international equity
benchmarks outpaced U.S. stocks. For example, the MSCI World Index returned
12.41% for 2007, with emerging market countries such as Brazil, India and China
leading the field. Overall, investors grappled with uncertain credit markets,
U.S. housing and mortgage-related concerns, increased commodity prices, and, in
the latter half of the year, apprehension over a U.S. recession. In general,
large-cap and growth oriented stocks performed considerably better than
small-cap and value stocks.
In the debt markets, the senior loan and high yield markets were robust for the
first six months of the year, with record levels of new issuance, tightening
spreads, and record inflows into the leveraged loan asset class. Sentiment began
to shift during the second quarter of 2007 as liquidity issues driven by
mortgage market concerns and a large pipeline of new institutional loans created
a supply/demand imbalance that resulted in downward pressure on bank loans, high
yield bonds, and many convertibles. The CSFB Leveraged Loan Index, which had
generated 56 consecutive months of positive returns, declined - 3.32% in July,
its largest monthly loss since inception in 1992. It was only the ninth time the
Index had moved more than one point in a month. Even more unusual, this
volatility was unrelated to defaults or credit fundamentals and was primarily
supply/demand driven.
5
The first six months of the year were characterized by the record level of new
loan issuance from mergers and acquisition and leveraged buy-out activity, and a
strong demand for new loans fueled by the creation of Collateralized Loan
Obligations (CLOs) and Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs). The last six
months of 2007 were sharply different. As investors became concerned about
negative headlines in the asset backed and mortgage markets, CLO creation slowed
significantly. This left a large overhang of new loans in the Wall Street
pipeline with fewer buyers, which put continued pressure on prices during this
volatile period. Adding to this pressure towards the end of the period was the
growing perception that sustained weakness in the housing sector and instability
in the financial markets would negatively impact the U.S. economy, particularly
among consumer-sensitive businesses such as homebuilders and retailers. These
factors continued to put pressure on bank loans, high yield bonds, and
convertible bonds through the end of 2007.
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE FUNDS DURING
THIS PERIOD?
In late 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. These
changes included:
- eliminating any requirement to invest in preferred and/or convertible
securities;
- expanding direct equity investments to include international as well as
domestic equities; and
- adding Tradewinds as a sub-adviser for a portion of each Fund's
equity-oriented investments.
To better reflect the Funds' new, more diversified investment parameters, the
Funds changed their names to Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund (JPC)
and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund 2 (JQC). The Funds continued to
be comprised approximately 70% of income-oriented investments and 30% of
equity-oriented investments, although the strategic asset mix within those
categories began to change to reflect their expanded investment policies.
In addition, both Funds began moving away from a relatively fixed, stand alone
convertible securities 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 a sub-adviser that specialized in
convertible securities investments.
Within their preferred securities allocations, both Funds had to contend with a
relatively heavy number of calls during this period. Overall, we strove to
maintain an approximate 60/40 portfolio mix between the $25 par (retail driven)
sector and the $1000 par capital securities (institutionally driven) sector. We
started 2007 buying mainly $25 par securities, but six months later we were
purchasing more capital securities as the relative attractiveness between the
two sectors had shifted.
6
While we did have some opportunities to buy attractively priced preferred stock
issued by certain U.S. government agencies, we were disappointed by what we
considered to be the relatively weak call protection associated with these
issues. We felt that too many non-traditional preferred securities buyers were
willing to give up call protection at the very time that the issuers had no
choice but to provide it if buyers insisted. As a result, when the new issues
were announced the secondary markets experienced large price declines. We were
able to buy some agency issues at discounts, which we believed would benefit the
Funds' earnings and returns in the future. We also had one of our busiest days
on the last trading day of 2007 when the availability of some deep discounts
allowed the Funds to buy at bargain prices.
For income-oriented investments, Symphony continued to use fundamental analysis
to select senior loans, high yield bonds, and convertible bonds that we believed
offered attractive risk-adjusted return potential. During this period, we
avoided the senior loans of most automotive part suppliers as well as smaller
homebuilders and land developers, even though many loans in these sectors traded
at discounts throughout the year. We also avoided many smaller loans that were
done to finance leveraged buyouts. We didn't believe that there was sufficient
incremental spread in many small loans to compensate for potential illiquidity
and volatility if earnings of the companies issuing them should become
challenged. Throughout the year we focused on adding quality new-issue senior
loans to the portfolios, which were often priced at a discount to par and were
structured with strong covenant protection. We also continued to avoid the vast
majority of second lien loans. Similar to smaller loans, we didn't believe that
second lien loans offered sufficient additional yield to compensate investors
for potentially increased volatility and lower recovery rates.
The core domestic equities managed by Symphony used both quantitative and
qualitative methods to evaluate securities. The quantitative screening process
served as the starting point for the decision making process. The qualitative
process then provided a systematic way of researching companies from a broad
prospective, ensuring the stocks selected for the portfolio were attractive in
all important respects.
For the international equities managed by Tradewinds, our basic investment
philosophy focused on buying good or improving business franchises around the
globe whose securities were selling below their intrinsic value. In 2007, we
found that the best value opportunities often were in the securities of those
businesses that were most leveraged to the growth of the global economy. We
liked the materials, food, agriculture and energy sectors, all of which benefit
from increased global demand. Conversely, we were rewarded for not holding
financial and retail stocks in the developed markets, especially during the
second half of the year, as these sectors experienced sizable corrections.
Corporate and high yield bonds remained unattractive to us during most of the
year. Writing covered calls remained an attractive way to enhance cash flow,
especially in a period of higher implied volatility, higher interest rates and
higher valuations for common stocks.

HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM OVER THIS TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD?
The performance of JPC and JQC, as well a comparative benchmark, is presented in
the accompanying table.
Annualized Total Returns on Net Asset Value
For the twelve-month period ended 12/31/07
JPC -5.71%
JQC -5.34%
Comparative Benchmark(1) -3.69%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 shareholders may have to pay
on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. For additional
information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this
report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the total return on net asset
value for both Funds underperformed the unleveraged, unmanaged comparative
benchmark. In a very challenging and unforgiving market environment, both Funds'
underperformance relative to the benchmark was in large part due to the Funds'
use of financial leverage. Over this past year, leverage tended to exacerbate
the price declines suffered by the Fund's holdings. However, leverage is a
strategy that the Funds have used since their inceptions, and we believe it has
and will continue to benefit shareholders over time by providing opportunities
for enhanced distributions and total return.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking more specifically at the various components of both Fund's portfolios,
the heavy selling of financial services sector securities in the third and
fourth quarters of 2007 hurt the performance of the Funds' allocations to
preferred securities. As noted, the fourth quarter was the worst quarter on
record for $25 par securities, and the Funds' exposure to this retail-oriented
market hurt their absolute and relative performance as the $25 par market
significantly underperformed the institutionally oriented $1000 par market.
Among our debt market investments, both Funds saw certain names contribute
positively to the Funds' performance during the first half of the year. The
second half of the period was better characterized by broad declines across the
entire asset class, as bank loans sold off significantly during the final months
of the period. There were no individual company-specific events that negatively
impacted performance. Rather, the decline was characteristic of the credit
market in general, which were influenced heavily by technical trends late in the
year. Default rates and fundamental factors remained relatively favorable
throughout 2007 compared to historical levels.
Although both Funds' loan positions suffered as a result of the broad-based
sell-off, the market dislocation also provided an opportunity to buy loans in
good companies with strong covenants at attractive prices, as well as selected
high yield and convertible bond issues.
The addition of direct exposure to core domestic equities, managed by Symphony,
enhanced total returns during the period. On an absolute basis, the energy,
materials and industrial sectors were the largest contributors to performance.
The strongest individual contributors to performance were information technology
companies --Apple, Inc., MEMC Electronic Materials & Mastercard, Inc., oil & gas
drilling and production company National-Oilwell Varco Inc. and crop nutrient
producer/distributor Mosaic Company. Relative to the
8
Russell 3000 Index, stock selection was the main driver of
outperformance -- contributing positively across every sector with the exception
of consumer staples and information technology. An underweight to financials
also significantly added to the strategy's relative return.
Our international equity holdings in the energy, consumer staples and materials
sectors were the largest contributors to positive performance in this asset
class. In particular, our overweight exposure to the materials sector, relative
to the MSCI World Index, enhanced returns. The strongest individual contributors
to performance were domestic coal producer Peabody Energy Corporation, global
agricultural equipment supplier Agco Corporation, and gold mining companies
Barrick Gold Corporation and Lihir Gold Limited. Our global focus allowed us to
participate in several fast growing foreign markets and benefit from the
declining value of the U.S. dollar. Our covered call writing strategy generated
positive cash flow, which enhanced the Funds' performance.
Among the Funds' worst equity performers for the year were pulp and paper
producer AbitibiBowater, Japanese consumer finance company Takefuji Corporation,
and gold mining companies NovaGold Resources Inc. and Gold Fields Limited.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED MARKETS
During February 2008, after the close of this reporting period, regularly
scheduled auctions for the FundPreferred(R) shares issued by your Fund began
attracting more shares for sale than offers to buy. This meant that these
auctions "failed to clear," and that many FundPreferred shareholders who wanted
to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. It is important to
note this decline in liquidity did not lower the credit quality of these shares,
and that FundPreferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" calculated in accordance with the
pre-established terms of the FundPreferred stock. At the time this report was
prepared, the Funds' managers could not predict when future auctions might
succeed in attracting sufficient buyers for the shares offered. The Funds'
managers are working diligently to develop mechanisms designed to improve the
liquidity of the FundPreferred shares, but at present there is no assurance that
those efforts will succeed.
These developments do not affect the management or investment policies of the
Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will be higher than it
otherwise would have been had the auctions been successful. As a result, the
Funds' future common share earnings may be marginally lower than they otherwise
might have been.
9
Common Share
Distribution and Share Price
INFORMATION
On March 1, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that these Funds would move from
a monthly to a quarterly common share distribution schedule. The Funds' last
monthly distributions were paid on April 2, 2007, and first quarterly
distributions were paid on July 2, 2007.
The Funds employ financial leverage through the issuance of FundPreferred
shares. Financial leverage provides the potential for higher earnings (net
investment income), total returns and distributions over time, but - as noted
earlier - also increases the variability of common shareholders' net asset value
per share in response to changing market conditions. Financial leverage
contributed positively to the Funds' common share net earnings over the
reporting period, but detracted from the Funds' overall common share total
return.
Each Fund has a managed distribution program. The goal of a managed distribution
program is to provide common shareholders with relatively consistent and
predictable cash flow by systematically converting its expected long-term return
potential into regular distributions. As a result, regular common share
distributions throughout the year are likely to 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 common share 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 a Fund's past or future investment performance from
its current distribution rate.
- Actual common share returns will differ from projected long-term returns (and
therefore a 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
10
periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent) when a
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), estimates on the nature of your distributions
provided at the time distributions are paid 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 information regarding each Fund's common share
distributions and total return performance for the fiscal year ended December
31, 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 Funds' returns for the
specified time period were sufficient to meet each Funds' distributions.

SHARE REPURCHASE AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
On November 21, 2007, 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. Repurchases not only help to support
the market price but, because such purchases are made at a discount to NAV, they
have the effect of augmenting NAV. Under the terms of the program, each Fund may
repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares. As of December 31, 2007,
JPC had repurchased 311,100 common shares and JQC had repurchased 725,600 common
shares, representing approximately 0.3% and 0.5% of the Funds' total common
shares outstanding, respectively.

(FORMERLY NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND)
NUVEEN MULTI-STRATEGY INCOME AND GROWTH FUND 2
(FORMERLY NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND 2)
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund
(formerly Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund) and Nuveen
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund 2 (formerly Nuveen Preferred and
Convertible Income Fund 2) (the "Funds") as of December 31, 2007, and the
related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds'
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian,
selling or agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures
where replies from selling or agent banks or brokers were not received. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income
and Growth Fund 2 at December 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the
year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated
therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
(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 (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm):
Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's
are considered to be below investment grade.
(4) A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the
life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the
difference between the original price of the security at issuance and the par value of the
security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay
interest periodically.
(5) 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.
(6) Senior Loans 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.
(7) Position or portion of position represents an unfunded Senior Loan commitment outstanding
at December 31, 2007.
(8) Negative value represents unrealized depreciation on unfunded Senior Loan commitment
outstanding at December 31, 2007.
(9) Principal Amount(000)/Shares rounds to less than $1,000.
(10) For disclosure purposes, Notional Amount is calculated by multiplying the number of
Contracts by the Strike Price by 100.
(11) Investment has been pledged as collateral to cover call options written.
(12) Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the
discretion of, the Board of Trustees.
(13) FundPreferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of total investments is
(36.6)%.
N/A Not applicable.

(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 (not covered by the report of independent registered public accounting firm):
Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's
are considered to be below investment grade.
(4) A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the
life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the
difference between the original price of the security at issuance and the par value of the
security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay
interest periodically.
(5) 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.
(6) Senior Loans 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.
(7) Position or portion of position represents an unfunded Senior Loan commitment outstanding
at December 31, 2007.
(8) Negative value represents unrealized depreciation on unfunded Senior Loan commitment
outstanding at December 31, 2007.
(9) For disclosure purposes, Notional Amount is calculated by multiplying the number of
Contracts by the Strike Price by 100.
(10) Investment has been pledged as collateral to cover call options written.
(11) Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by, or at the
discretion of, the Board of Trustees.
(12) FundPreferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of total investments is

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 its 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 increase their
percentage of managed assets in direct equity investments to include both
domestic and international equities. 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 (JPC) and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and
Growth Fund 2 (JQC), respectively.
Each Fund seeks to provide high income by investing primarily in a portfolio of
preferred securities, equity securities, high yield securities and convertible
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 are generally valued at the last sales price on the
security exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities
traded on an exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or
securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of the
closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the
Nasdaq Official Closing Price. The value of options written are based on the
last sale price in the case of exchange-traded options or, in the case of
options traded in the OTC market, the last asked 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 fixed-income securities, senior
loans and interest rate swaps 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 an
investment or derivative instrument the Fund may use market quotes provided by
major broker/dealers 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
70
custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount
of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At December 31, 2007,
the Funds had no such outstanding purchase commitments.
Investment Income
Dividend income on securities purchased and dividend expense on securities sold
short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when
information is available. Interest income, which includes the amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is
recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also includes paydown gains and
losses, if any. Interest income also includes fee income and amendment fees, if
any. Fee income 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.
Effective June 29, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN
48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e. greater than 50-percent) of being sustained by
the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the
current year.
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e. the last four
tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have no
examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007.
The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.
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 Program").
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. 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. 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. 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 accompanying financial statements.
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 years ended December 31, 2007 and 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.
The actual character of distributions made by the Funds during the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, are reflected in the accompanying
financial statements.
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:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 28,320 38,600
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Funds are 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 the Statement of Operations.
72
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. The Funds accrue the fixed rate payment
expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be
received or paid on interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognize
an unrealized gain (loss) for the daily changes in the market value of the
Funds' contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. The net amount
recorded for these transactions is recognized in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. Once periodic payments are settled in cash, the net amount is
recorded as net realized gain (loss) from interest rate swaps, in addition to
net realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of interest rate swap
contracts on the Statement of Operations. For tax purposes, periodic payments
are treated as ordinary income or expense. 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. In addition, all counterparties are
required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap)
on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any
unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when a Fund has
an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the custodian
to pledge assets of the Fund as collateral with a value approximately equal to
the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral
pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the interest rate
swap valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined
threshold amount.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Funds are authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions
including 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 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 are included in "Realized gain
(loss) on foreign currencies" and "Change in unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) of foreign currencies" on the Statement of Operations.
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign
currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into
U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Investments and income and expenses are
translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign
currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include
foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the
transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the
amounts actually received.
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
73
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
receivable or payable for the variation margin when applicable. During the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, each Fund invested in futures contracts. At
December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding futures contracts in either Fund.
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.
Options 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 reflect
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 security underlying the written option. There is the risk the Funds may not
be able to enter into closing transactions because of an illiquid market.
Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds'
policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral
securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the
repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller
defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the
collateral may be delayed or limited.
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 Funds overdraws their 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 and November 21, 2007, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved
open market share repurchase programs 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.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. 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, timing differences in the recognition of income on REIT
investments 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 December 31, 2007, the cost of investments (excluding proceeds received on
securities sold short and call options written) was as follows:

** The Funds hereby designate these amounts paid during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, as long-term capital gain dividends pursuant to Internal
Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3).
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth 2 (JQC) elected to defer net realized losses
from investments incurred from November 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, the
Funds' tax year end, ("post-October losses") in accordance with federal income
tax regulations. Post-October losses of $1,573,568 were treated as having arisen
on the first day of the following fiscal year.
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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
76
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 December 31, 2007, the complex-level fee rate was .1846%.
Effective August 20, 2007, the complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989

$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to August 20, 2007, the complex-level fee schedule was as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996

$200 billion .1536
$250 billion .1509
$300 billion .1490
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(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
77
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 Windy City
Investments, Inc. ("Windy City"), a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("Madison Dearborn"), pursuant to which Windy
City would acquire Nuveen Investments. Madison Dearborn is a private equity
investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The merger was consummated on
November 13, 2007.
The consummation of the merger was deemed to be an "assignment" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management
agreement between each Fund and the Adviser and, if applicable, each
sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and any sub-adviser of the Fund, and
resulted in the automatic termination of each such agreement. The Board of
Trustees of each Fund considered and approved a new investment management
agreement with the Adviser, and, if applicable, a new sub-advisory agreement
between the Adviser and any sub-adviser on the same terms as the previous
agreements. Each new ongoing investment management agreement and sub-advisory
agreement, if applicable, was approved by the shareholders of each Fund and took
effect on November 13, 2007.
The investors led by Madison Dearborn include an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. As
a result, Merrill Lynch is an indirect "affiliated person" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of each Fund. Certain conflicts
of interest may arise as a result of such indirect affiliation. For example, the
Funds are generally prohibited from entering into principal transactions with
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates. The Adviser does not believe that any such
prohibitions or limitations as a result of Merrill Lynch's affiliation will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies.
78
Related Party Holdings
At December 31, 2007, Multi-Strategy Income and Growth (JPC) and Multi-Strategy
Income and Growth 2 (JQC) owned 569,561 and 835,745 shares, respectively, of
Merrill Lynch and Company, Inc. preferred securities with aggregate market
values of $12,390,709 and $17,360,876, respectively. Total income earned by
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth (JPC) and Multi-Strategy Income and Growth 2
(JQC) from such securities amounted to $1,099,809 and $2,044,776, respectively,
and is included in dividend income on the Statement of Operations.
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 December 31, 2007, Multi-Strategy Income and Growth (JPC) and
Multi-Strategy Income and Growth 2 (JQC) had unfunded senior loan commitments of
$2,030,876 and $2,283,759, respectively.
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 a Fund purchases a participation of a senior
loan interest, a 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, a 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 December 31, 2007, there
were no such outstanding participation commitments in either Fund.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
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 December 31, 2007, the management does 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.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During February 2008, regularly scheduled auctions for the FundPreferred shares
issued by the Funds began attracting more shares for sale than offers to buy.
This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many FundPreferred
shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do
so. FundPreferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" calculated in accordance with the
pre-established terms of the FundPreferred stock.
These developments do not affect the management or investment policies of the
Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will be higher than it
otherwise would have been had the auctions been successful. As a result, the
Funds' future Common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise might have
been.

* 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.

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.
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs): Collateralized debt obligations are a
type of asset-backed security constructed from a portfolio of fixed-income
assets. CDOs usually are divided into different tranches having different
ratings and paying different interest rates. Losses, if any, are applied in
reverse order of seniority and so junior tranches generally offer higher coupons
to compensate for added default risk.
Market Yield (also known as Dividend Yield or Current Yield): Market yield is
based on the Fund's current annualized quarterly distribution divided by the
Fund's current market price. The Fund's quarterly 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.

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

connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2) "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related
services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of

(3) "Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax

(4) "All Other Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for products and services for

SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE
ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS
The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to
Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with NAM ("Control Affiliate") that
provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for
engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting,
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval
exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest
services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of
all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund
Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that
would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not
recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and
(C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and
the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is
completed.

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

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The Adviser has engaged Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum"), Tradewinds
Global Investors, LLC ("Tradewinds"), and Symphony Asset Management, LLC
("Symphony") (Spectrum, Tradewinds and Symphony are also collectively referred
to as "Sub-Advisers") as Sub-Advisers to provide discretionary investment
advisory services. As part of these services, the Adviser has also delegated to
each Sub-Adviser the full responsibility for proxy voting and related duties in
accordance with the Sub-Adviser's policy and procedures. The Adviser
periodically will monitor each Sub-Adviser's voting to ensure that they are
carrying out their duties. The Sub-Advisers' proxy voting policies and
procedures are summarized as follows:
SPECTRUM
Spectrum has adopted a Policy on Proxy Voting for Investment Advisory Clients
(the "Voting Policy"), which provides that Spectrum aims to ensure that, when
delegated proxy voting authority by a client, Spectrum act (1) solely in the
interest of the client in providing for ultimate long-term stockholder value,
and (2) without undue influence from individuals or groups who may have an
economic interest in the outcome of a proxy vote. Spectrum relies on the
custodian bank to deliver proxies to Spectrum for voting.
Spectrum has selected Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("ISS") to assist
with Spectrum's proxy voting responsibilities. Spectrum generally follows ISS
standard proxy voting guidelines which embody the positions and factors Spectrum
considers important in casting proxy votes. In connection with each proxy vote,
ISS prepares a written analysis and recommendation based on its guidelines. In
order to avoid any conflict of interest for ISS, the CCO will require ISS to
deliver additional information or certify that ISS has adopted policies and
procedures to detect and mitigate such conflicts of interest in issuing voting
recommendations. Spectrum also may obtain voting recommendations from two proxy
voting services as an additional check on the independence of ISS' voting
recommendations.
Spectrum may, on any particular proxy vote, diverge from ISS' guidelines or
recommendations. In such a case, Spectrum's Voting Policy requires that: (i) the
requesting party document the reason for the request; (ii) the approval of the
Chief Investment Officer; (iii) notification to appropriate compliance
personnel; (iv) a determination that the decision is not influenced by any
conflict of interest; and (v) a written record of the process.
When Spectrum determines not to follow ISS' guidelines or recommendations,
Spectrum classifies proxy voting issues into three broad categories: (1) Routine
Administrative Items; (2) Special Interest Issues; and (3) Issues having the
Potential for Significant Economic Impact, and casts proxy votes in accordance
with the philosophy and decision guidelines developed for that category in the
Voting Policy.
- Routine Administrative Items. Spectrum is willing to defer to
management on matters a routine administrative nature. Examples of
issues on which Spectrum will normally defer to management's
recommendation include selection of auditors, increasing the
authorized number of common shares and the election of unopposed
directors.
- Special Interest Issues. In general, Spectrum will abstain from
voting on shareholder social, political, environmental proposals
because their long-term impact on share value cannot be calculated
with any reasonable degree of confidence.
- Issues Having the Potential for Significant Economic Impact.
Spectrum is not willing to defer to management on proposals which
have the potential for major economic impact on the corporation and
value of its shares and believes such issues should be carefully
analyzed and decided by shareholders. Examples of such issues are
classification of board of directors' cumulative voting and
supermajority provisions, defensive strategies (e.g., greenmail
prevention), business combinations and restructurings and executive
and director compensation.
Conflicts of Interest. There may be a material conflict of interest when
Spectrum votes, on behalf of a client, a proxy that is solicited by an
affiliated person of Spectrum or another Spectrum client. To avoid such
conflicts, Spectrum has established procedures under its Voting Policy to seek
to ensure that voting decisions are based on a client's best interests and are
not the product of a material conflict. In addition to employee monitoring for
potential conflicts, the CCO reviews Spectrum's and its affiliates' material
business relationships and personal and financial relationships of senior
personnel of Spectrum and its affiliates to monitor for conflicts of interest.
If a conflict of interest is identified, Spectrum considers both financial and
non-financial materiality to determine if a conflict of interest is material. If
a material conflict of interest is found to exist, the CCO discloses the
conflict to affected clients and obtains consent from each client in the manner
in which Spectrum proposed to vote.
Spectrum clients can obtain a copy of the Voting Policy or information on how
Spectrum voted their proxies by calling Spectrum's Compliance Department at
(203) 322-0189.
TRADEWINDS
Tradewinds' Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures apply to securities held in
client accounts over which Tradewinds has voting authority. Tradewinds' Proxy
Voting Policy seeks to ensure that proxies for which Tradewinds has ultimate
voting authority are voted consistently and solely in the best economic
interests of the beneficiaries of these equity investments. In addition,
Tradewinds may determine not to vote proxies relating to certain securities if
Tradewinds determines it would be in its clients' overall best interests not to
vote, such as when Tradewinds is in the process of selling the securities, or
the securities are foreign securities subject to share blocking (short-term
prohibitions on selling after voting). If a client requests Tradewinds to follow
specific voting guidelines, Tradewinds will review the request and inform the
client only if Tradewinds is not able to follow the client's request.
The Proxy Voting Committee is responsible for oversight of the proxy voting
process. Tradewinds has engaged the services of Institutional Shareholder
Services, Inc. ("ISS") to make recommendations to Tradewinds on the voting of
proxies for securities held in its clients' accounts. Tradewinds reviews
and frequently follows ISS recommendations. However, Tradewinds may not vote in
accordance with the ISS recommendations when Tradewinds believes an ISS
recommendation is not in the best economic interest of clients. Specifically,
Tradewinds will usually vote against any proposals for granting employees stock
options, and if ISS or Tradewinds does not receive information about the proxy
vote in time to research the proxy issues, Tradewinds will vote no on all such
issues.
If Tradewinds is faced with a material conflict of interest in voting a proxy,
such as when it manages the assets of a company or its pension plan and any of
Tradewinds' clients hold any securities of that company, Tradewinds will vote
proxies relating to such company's securities in accordance with the ISS
recommendations to avoid any conflict of interest.
Tradewinds shall retain required records relating to the voting of proxies and
shall provide a client with information on how Tradewinds voted proxies on
behalf of the client as requested.
SYMPHONY
Symphony uses the proxy voting services of Institutional Shareholder Services
("ISS"). The ISS Proxy Voting Services provide Symphony and its clients with an
independent source of proxy voting research and services. The use of ISS is
designed to offer client-centered proxy voting which minimizes conflicts of
interests between Symphony's interests and those of its clients.
In order to monitor how ISS votes client proxies, Symphony has established a
Proxy Voting Review Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee is composed of
Symphony's Chief Operating Officer and its Chief Investment Officer. Each year,
the Committee reviews ISS proxy voting policies and practices to determine
whether such policies and practices are consistent with Symphony's fiduciary
duty to the clients for whom Symphony is responsible for voting proxies. During
the year, the Committee review how ISS votes on specific issues. From time to
time, the Committee discusses the proxy voting process with representatives of
ISS in order to ensure that Symphony's client interests are being protected.
When Symphony disagrees with ISS' policies with respect to certain issues,
Symphony will direct the voting of its clients' proxies according to what
Symphony believes is the best interests of its clients.
Clients who have questions about how particular proxies are voted for their
account may request such information from Symphony by calling (415) 676-4000.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
As described above, the portfolio manager may manage other accounts with
investment strategies similar to the Fund, including other investment companies
and separately managed accounts. Fees earned by the sub-advisers may vary among
these accounts and the portfolio managers may personally invest in some but not
all of these accounts. In addition, certain accounts may be subject to
performance-based fees. These factors could create conflicts of interest because
a portfolio manager may have incentives to favor certain accounts over others,
resulting in other accounts outperforming the Fund. A conflict may also exist if
a portfolio manager identified a limited investment opportunity that may be
appropriate for more than one account, but the Fund is not able to take full
advantage of that opportunity due to the need to allocate that opportunity among
multiple accounts. In addition, the portfolio manger may execute transactions
for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by
the Fund. However, the sub-advisers believe that these risks are mitigated by
the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular
portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject to
exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or policies
applicable only to certain accounts, differences in cash flows and account
sizes, and other factors. In addition, each sub-adviser has adopted trade
allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of trade orders for a
particular security among participating accounts.
ITEM 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Symphony investment professionals receive competitive base salaries and
participate in a bonus pool which is tied directly to the firm's operating
income with a disproportionate amount paid to the managers responsible for
generating the alpha. The bonus paid to investment personnel is based on acumen,
overall contribution and strategy performance. However, there is no fixed
formula which guides bonus allocations. Bonuses are paid on an annual basis. In
addition, investment professionals may participate in an equity-based
compensation pool.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account.
More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented
with the following potential conflicts:
- The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio
manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management
of each account. Tradewinds seeks to manage such competing
interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by
having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment
discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a
particular investment strategy are managed using the same
investment models.
- If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment
opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account,
an account may not be able to take full advantage of that
opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale
orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these
situations, Tradewinds has adopted procedures for allocating
portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.
- With respect to many of its clients' accounts, Tradewinds
determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders,
consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the
transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts,
Tradewinds may be limited by the client with respect to the
selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades
through a particular broker. In these cases, Tradewinds may
place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and
other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price
of the security or the execution of the transactions, or both,
to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.
- The Fund is subject to different regulation than other pooled
investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the
portfolio managers. As a consequence of this difference in
regulatory requirements, the Fund may not be permitted to
engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to
engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other
accounts managed by the portfolio managers. Finally, the
appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where
Tradewinds has an incentive, such as a performance-based
management fee, which relates to the management of some
accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has
day-to-day management responsibilities.
Tradewinds has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to
address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However,
there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation
in which a conflict arises.
In addition, Merrill Lynch & Co. (and its affiliates) is an indirect investor in
Nuveen and therefore is considered an affiliate of Tradewinds under certain
federal securities laws. Tradewinds may have a conflict of interest due to its
relationship with Merrill Lynch & Co. (and its affiliates).
ITEM 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Tradewinds's portfolio managers participate in a highly competitive
compensation structure with the purpose of attracting and retaining the most
talented investment professionals and rewarding them through a total
compensation program as determined by the firm's executive committee. The total
compensation program consists of both a base salary and an annual bonus that can
be a multiple of the base salary. The portfolio manager's performance is
formally evaluated annually and based on a variety of factors. Bonus
compensation is primarily a function of the firm's overall annual profitability
and the individual portfolio manager's contribution as measured by the overall
investment performance of client portfolios in the strategy they manage relative
to the strategy's general benchmark for one, three and five year periods (as
applicable), as well as an objective review of stock recommendations and the
quality of primary research, and subjective review of the professional's
contributions to portfolio strategy, teamwork, collaboration and work ethic.
The total compensation package includes availability of equity-like incentive
for purchase (whose value is determined by the increase in profitability of
Tradewinds over time) made to most investment professionals. Additionally, the
portfolio managers have been provided compensation in conjunction with signing
long-term employment agreements.
