Chairman’s
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
| | | | | | |
![(ROBERT P. BREMNER PHOTO)](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000950137-08-011485/c28037cbrempic1.gif) | | | ï Robert P. Bremner ï Chairman of the Board |
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I’d like to use my initial letter to you to accomplish several things. First, I want to report that after fourteen years of service on your Fund’s Board, including the last twelve as chairman, Tim Schwertfeger retired from the Board in June. The Board has elected me to replace him as the chairman, the first time this role has been filled by someone who is not an employee of Nuveen Investments. Electing an independent chairman marks a significant milestone in the management of your Fund, and it aligns us with what is now considered a “best practice” in the fund industry. Further, it demonstrates the independence with which your Board has always acted on your behalf.
Following Tim will not be easy. During my eleven previous years on the Nuveen Fund Board, I found that Tim always set a very high standard by combining insightful industry and market knowledge and sound, clear judgment. While the Board will miss his wise counsel, I am certain we will retain the primary commitment Tim shared with all of us—an unceasing dedication to creating and retaining value for Nuveen Fund shareholders. This focus on value over time is a touchstone that I and all the other Board members will continue to use when making decisions on your behalf.
Second, I also want to report that we are very fortunate to be welcoming two new Board members to our team. John Amboian, the current chairman and CEO of Nuveen Investments, has agreed to replace Tim as Nuveen’s representative on the Board. John’s presence will allow the independent Board members to benefit not only from his leadership role at Nuveen but also his broad understanding of the fund industry and Nuveen’s role within it. We also are adding Terry Toth as an independent director. A former CEO of the Northern Trust Company’s asset management group, Terry will bring extensive experience in the fund industry to our deliberations.
Third, on behalf of the entire Board, I would like to acknowledge the effort the whole Nuveen organization is making to resolve the auction rate preferred share situation in a satisfactory manner. As you know, we are actively pursuing a number of possible solutions, all with the goal of providing liquidity for preferred shareholders while preserving the potential benefits of leverage for common shareholders. We appreciate the patience you have shown as we’ve worked through the many details involved.
Finally, I urge you to take the time to review the Portfolio Managers’ Comments, the Common Share Distribution and Share Price Information, and the Performance Overview sections of this report. All of us are grateful that you have chosen Nuveen Investments as a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and, on behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund’s Board, let me say we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

Portfolio Managers’ COMMENTS
| | | |
Nuveen Investments Closed-End Funds | | | JTP, JPS, JHP |
The Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Funds are sub-advised by a team of specialists at Spectrum Asset Management, an affiliate of Principal Capitalsm. Mark Lieb, Bernie Sussman and Phil Jacoby, who have more than 50 years of combined experience in the preferred securities markets, lead the team. Here Mark, Bernie and Phil talk about their management strategy and the performance of each Fund for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE FUNDS DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD?
The volatility caused by the sub-prime mortgage crisis and general illiquidity in the credit markets severely impacted preferred securities during this period. Our main focus was to control concentration risk, and we reduced credit exposure to the brokerage, regional bank and monoline insurance sectors. Although new issuance was heavy, market liquidity was extremely limited which put downward pressure on the secondary market prices. Nonetheless, we found a few opportunities to sell some holdings and reinvest the proceeds into deeper discount or better structured capital securities. We were able to diversify into new names, including Allianz, Credit Suisse, National Bank of Greece, Prudential Financial and XCEL Energy.
The relative value differentials between individual investor-oriented $25 par preferreds and institution-oriented $1000 par capital securities oscillated with unusual dispersion during the period. We increased the Fund’s overall concentration in $25 par preferreds by approximately 3%, due to relative attractiveness. For example, even though these securities fell 10.6% in June, they outperformed $1000 par capital securities which retreated 19%. Because the market was disjointed, we were able in a few instances to switch between securities of the same issuer and pick up yield.
Discussions of specific investments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed in this commentary represent those of the portfolio managers as of the date of this report and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of such changes.

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.
HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM OVER THIS SIX-MONTH PERIOD?
The performance of JTP, JPS and JHP, as well as a comparative index and benchmark, is presented in the accompanying table.
Cumulative Total Returns on Common Share Net Asset Value
For the six-month period ended 6/30/2008
| | | | |
JTP | | | -4.39% | |
JPS | | | -5.12% | |
JHP | | | -5.46% | |
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index1 | | | 1.13% | |
Comparative Benchmark2 | | | -3.29% | |
Over the six-month period, all three Funds underperformed the index and benchmark. One of the key factors in the performance of these Funds, relative to that of the unleveraged index and benchmark, was the Funds’ use of financial leverage. Although leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total returns for common shareholders, it can also expose shareholders to additional risk—especially when market conditions are unfavorable. With the steep decrease in prices among preferred securities during this period, the impact of these valuation changes was magnified by the use of leverage. However, we firmly believe that the use of this strategy should work to the benefit of the Funds’ common shareholders over the long term.
Additionally, there also were some rather severe devaluations in the REIT mortgage sector, which caused several long term holdings, including Union Planter and CBG Florida REIT, to lose their premiums to the market.
1 The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that includes all investment-grade, publicly issued, fixed-rate, dollar denominated, non-convertible debt issues and commercial mortgage backed securities with maturities of at least one year and outstanding par values of $150 million or more. Index returns do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
2 Comparative benchmark performance is a blended return consisting of: 1) 55% of the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index, an unmanaged index of investment-grade, exchange traded preferred stocks with outstanding market values of at least $30 million and at least one year to maturity; and 2) 45% 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.
On the plus side, about 2.5% of the Funds’ securities were retired (called, put back to the issuer or tendered by the issuer) at significantly higher prices than where they had been trading. This boosted performance and provided capital to invest at significantly higher yields.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES (ARPS) MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the preferred shares issued by these Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant these auctions “failed to clear” and that many or all auction preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the “maximum rate” applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the auction preferred shares.
After the close of the reporting period, each of the Funds entered into a prime brokerage facility with Credit Suisse Securities and utilized $100 million, $230 million and $25 million for JTP, JPS and JHP, respectively, along with available cash to redeem $148 million, $280 million and $64 million, of each respective Fund’s outstanding FundPreferred shares.

Common Share
Distribution and Share Price
INFORMATION
We are providing you with information regarding your Funds’ distributions. This information is as of June 30, 2008, and likely will vary over time based on the Funds’ investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.
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. Over the reporting period, the impact of financial leverage on the Funds’ net asset value per share contributed positively to the income return and detracted from the price return. The overall impact of financial leverage detracted from the Funds’ total return.
During certain periods, the Funds may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Funds during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in a Funds’ NAV. As of June 30, 2008, JTP and JHP had positive UNII balances, and JPS had a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes. All three Funds had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes.

1. | General Information and Significant Accounting Policies |
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund (JTP), Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund 2 (JPS) and Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund 3 (JHP) (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide high current income consistent with capital preservation by investing primarily in a portfolio of preferred securities, debt securities including convertible debt securities and convertible preferred 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 securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. 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. The prices of fixed-income securities and interest rate swap contracts are generally provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. When market 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 Trustees’ designee. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for an investment or derivative instrument, the Funds 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.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At June 30, 2008, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Dividend income is 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.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its 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., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) 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 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
37
| | |
| | |
| | Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) |
examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally 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 six months ended June 30, 2008.
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.
Distributions to Common shareholders are declared monthly. 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 final determination of the source and character of all distributions for the fiscal year are made after the end of the fiscal year and reflected in the financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.
The actual character of distributions made by the Funds during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, is reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
The distributions made by the Funds to their shareholders during the six months ended June 30, 2008, are provisionally classified as being “From and in excess of net investment income”, and those distributions will be classified as being from net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or a return of capital for tax purposes after the fiscal year end, based upon the income type breakdown information conveyed at the time by the REITs whose securities are held in the Fund’s portfolio. For purposes of calculating “Undistributed (Over-distribution of) net investment income” as of June 30, 2008, the distribution amounts provisionally classified as “From and in excess of net investment income” were treated as being entirely from net investment income. Consequently, the financial statements at June 30, 2008, may reflect an over-distribution of net investment income.
FundPreferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding FundPreferred (“Preferred”) 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:
| | | | | | |
| | | | Quality Preferred
| | Quality Preferred
|
| | Quality Preferred
| | Income 2
| | Income 3
|
| | Income (JTP) | | (JPS) | | (JHP) |
Number of shares: | | | | | | |
Series M | | 3,520 | | 4,800 | | 3,320 |
Series T | | 3,520 | | 4,800 | | — |
Series T2 | | — | | 4,000 | | — |
Series W | | 3,520 | | 4,800 | | — |
Series TH | | 3,520 | | 4,800 | | 3,320 |
Series TH2 | | — | | 4,000 | | — |
Series F | | 3,520 | | 4,800 | | — |
| | | | | | |
Total | | 17,600 | | 32,000 | | 6,640 |
| | | | | | |
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions “failed to clear,” and that many Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the “maximum rate” applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
38
These developments generally 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 likely be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds’ future Common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been.
Interest Rate Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in interest rate swap transactions. Each Fund’s 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 receiving or paying a variable rate payment that is intended to approximate each Fund’s variable rate payment obligation on FundPreferred shares or any variable rate borrowing. The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap contract. Interest rate swaps do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that each Fund is to receive. Interest rate swap positions are valued daily. Although there are economic advantages of entering into interest rate swap transactions, there are also additional risks. The Funds help manage the credit risks associated with interest rate swap transactions by entering into agreements only with counterparties Nuveen Asset Management (the “Adviser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments Inc. (“Nuveen”), believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser continually monitor the financial stability of the swap counterparties.
Futures Contracts
Each Fund is 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin when applicable. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 each Fund invested in futures contracts. As of June 30, 2008, there were no outstanding futures contracts in any of the Funds.
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.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forward, futures options and swap contracts. To the extent that a Fund invests in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Fund 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 Fund’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest 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) from foreign currencies” and “Change in net 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

| | Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) |
transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of a Fund and the amounts actually received.
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 a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
| |
2. | Fair Value Measurements |
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In determining the value of the Funds’ investments various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| | |
| Level 1 — | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
|
| Level 2 — | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
|
| Level 3 — | Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of June 30, 2008:

5. | Income Tax Information |
The following information is presented on an income tax basis based on the information currently available to the Funds. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to recognition of premium amortization, recognition of income on REIT investments, timing differences in the recognition of income and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

The following Funds have elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007, the Funds’ last tax year end, (“post-October losses”) in accordance with federal income tax regulations. Post-October losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year:

Calculation of certain of the amounts presented above (namely, undistributed net ordinary income for tax purposes) involves the application of complex aspects of the Internal Revenue Code to certain securities held by the Funds. In calculating the amount of taxable income derived from these securities, management made assumptions as to the correct tax treatment of certain of those securities and made estimates about the tax characteristics of income received from those securities, based on information currently available to the Funds. The use of these assumptions and estimates will not affect the qualification of the Funds as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, nor is it expected that these assumptions and estimates will be used in computing taxable income for purposes of preparing the federal and state income and excise tax returns.

6. | Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Each Fund’s management fee is separated into two components – a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the average daily Managed Assets of each Fund as follows:
| | | | |
Average Daily Managed Assets | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $500 million | | | .7000 | % |
For the next $500 million | | | .6750 | |
For the next $500 million | | | .6500 | |
For the next $500 million | | | .6250 | |
For Managed Assets over $2 billion | | | .6000 | |
| | | | |
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As of June 30, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .1868%.
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 | |
$60 billion | | | .1961 | |
$63 billion | | | .1931 | |
$66 billion | | | .1900 | |
$71 billion | | | .1851 | |

$200 billion | | | .1505 | |
$250 billion | | | .1469 | |
$300 billion | | | .1445 | |
| | | | |
| |
(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 has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (“Spectrum”), under which Spectrum manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. Spectrum is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser. Spectrum also receives compensation on certain portfolio transactions for providing brokerage services to the Funds.
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.
For the first eight years of Quality Preferred Income’s (JTP) 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:

7. | New Accounting Pronouncement |
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This standard is intended to enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect a fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

** | Total Return Based 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 may take 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 Based 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.

Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser (including sub-advisers) will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board members, including by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any parties (the “Independent Board Members”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s board members must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 28-29, 2008 (the “May Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees (each, a “Board” and each Trustee, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Funds for an additional one-year period. These agreements include the investment advisory agreements between Nuveen Asset Management (“NAM”) and each Fund and the sub-advisory agreements between NAM and Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”). In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 23, 2008 (the “April Meeting”). Accordingly, the factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.
In addition, in evaluating the applicable advisory agreements (each an “Investment Management Agreement”) and sub-advisory agreements (each a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, an “Advisory Agreement”), as described in further detail below, the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds, NAM and the Sub-Adviser (NAM and the Sub-Adviser are each a “Fund Adviser”), including absolute performance, fee and expense information for the Funds as well as comparative performance, fee and expense information for a comparable peer group of funds, the performance information of recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable), the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and services provided by the respective Fund Adviser. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of the Fund Adviser, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund’s Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
| |
A. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services |
In considering renewal of the Investment Management Agreements, the Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of the Fund Adviser’s services, including advisory services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, NAM’s organization and business; the types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line. With respect to personnel, the Independent Board Members
48
evaluated the background, experience and track record of the Fund Adviser’s investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered the additional investment in personnel to support Nuveen fund advisory activities, including in operations, product management and marketing as well as related fund support functions, including sales, executive, finance, human resources and information technology. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate NAM’s ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel.
In evaluating the services of NAM, the Independent Board Members also considered NAM’s oversight of the performance, business activities and compliance of the Sub-Adviser, the ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers and given the importance of compliance, NAM’s compliance program. Among other things, the Independent Board Members considered the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support.
The Independent Board Members reviewed an evaluation of the Sub-Adviser from NAM, including information as to the process followed by NAM in evaluating sub-advisers. The evaluation also included information relating to the Sub-Adviser’s organization, operations, personnel, assets under management, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques in managing the Funds, developments affecting the Sub-Adviser, and an analysis of the Sub-Adviser. As described in further detail below, the Board considered the performance of each Fund. The Board also recognized that the Sub-Advisory Agreements were essentially agreements for portfolio management services only and the Sub-Adviser was not expected to supply other significant administrative services to the Funds. In addition, the Independent Board Members noted that they anticipate visiting each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds at least once over the course of a multiple-year rotation. The Independent Board Members further noted that NAM recommended the renewal of the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreements and considered the basis for such recommendations and any qualifications in connection therewith.
In addition to the foregoing services, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, its secondary market support activities and the costs of such activities. The Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen’s continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations program to timely provide information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing advertising and marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining its closed-end fund website; and providing educational seminars. With respect to closed-end funds that utilize leverage through the issuance of auction rate preferred securities (“ARPS”), the Board has recognized the unprecedented market conditions in the auction rate market industry with the failure of the auction process. The Independent Board Members noted Nuveen’s efforts and the resources and personnel employed to analyze the situation, explore potential alternatives and develop and implement solutions that serve the interests of the affected funds and all of their respective shareholders. The Independent Board Members further noted Nuveen’s commitment and efforts to keep investors and financial advisers informed as to its progress in addressing the ARPS situation through, among other things, conference calls, press releases, and information posted on its website as well as its refinancing activities. The Independent Board Members also noted Nuveen’s continued support for holders of preferred shares of its closed-end funds by, among other things, seeking distribution for preferred shares with new market participants, managing relations with remarketing agents and the broker community, maintaining the leverage and risk management of leverage and maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency criteria.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective Funds under the Investment Management Agreement or Sub-Advisory Agreement, as applicable, were satisfactory.

B. | The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers |
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including the Fund’s historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with similar investment objectives (the “Performance Peer Group”) based on data provided by an independent third party (as described below). In addition, the Independent Board Members reviewed the respective Fund’s historic performance compared to recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable).
In evaluating the performance information, the Board considered whether the Fund has operated within its investment objectives and parameters and the impact that the investment mandates may have had on performance. In addition, in comparing a fund’s performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the Independent Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer Group in certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund’s investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison of the fund’s performance with that of the Performance Peer Group.
The Independent Board Members reviewed performance information including, among other things, total return information compared with the Fund’s Performance Peer Group as well as recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as appropriate) for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31, 2007 and with the Fund’s Performance Peer Group for the quarter, one-, three-, and five- year periods ending March 31, 2008 (as applicable). This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that the respective Fund’s investment performance over time had been satisfactory.
| |
C. | Fees, Expenses and Profitability |
1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund’s gross management fees (which take into account breakpoints), net management fees (which take into account fee waivers or reimbursements) and total expense ratios (before and after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as compared to the gross management fees, net management fees (after waivers and/or reimbursements) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based on data provided by an independent data provider (the “Peer Universe”) and/or a more focused subset of funds therein (the “Peer Group”). The Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as the methods of measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the performance analysis. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such as the size of the Fund relative to peers, the size and particular composition of the Peer Group, the investment objectives of the peers, expense anomalies, and the timing of information used may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison. The Independent Board Members also considered, among other things, the differences in the use of leverage. In addition, in reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999). Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s management fees and net total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients. Such clients include separately managed accounts (both retail and institutional accounts) and funds that are not offered by Nuveen but are sub-advised by one of Nuveen’s investment management teams. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the
50
fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among other things, because of the different services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.
In considering the fees of the Sub-Adviser, the Independent Board Members also considered the pricing schedule or fees that the Sub-Adviser charges for similar investment management services for other fund sponsors or clients (such as retail and/or institutional managed accounts) as applicable. The Independent Board Members also noted that with respect to sub-advisers unaffiliated with Nuveen, such as the Sub-Adviser, such fees were the result of arm’s-length negotiations.
3. Profitability of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen’s wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last two years and the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data. The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members considered Nuveen’s profitability compared with other fund sponsors prepared by two independent third party service providers as well as comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser’s particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen’s methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen’s investment in its fund business.
Based on its review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided. With respect to funds with sub-advisers unaffiliated with Nuveen, such as the Funds, the Independent Board Members also considered the sub-adviser’s revenues, expenses (including the basis for allocating expenses) and profitability margins (pre- and post-tax). Based on their review, the Independent Board Members were satisfied that the Sub-Adviser’s level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Funds as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits the Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee
51

Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
| |
D. | Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale |
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base. The Independent Board Members therefore considered whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential realization of any further economies of scale. In considering economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees. In this regard, given that the Funds are closed-end funds, the Independent Board Members recognized that although the Funds may from time to time make additional share offerings, the growth in their assets will occur primarily through appreciation of each such Fund’s investment portfolio.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered the Funds’ complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Independent Board Members recognized that the complex-wide fee schedule was recently revised in 2007 to provide for additional fee savings to shareholders and considered the amended schedule. The Independent Board Members further considered that the complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen’s costs are attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders.
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen’s preferred trading desk and for serving as a co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange traded funds.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Fund Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. With respect to NAM, the Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating “commissions,” NAM intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser does not direct trades through non-affiliated broker-dealers and therefore does not have any brokerage to provide in order to receive research or related services on a soft dollar basis. The Sub-Adviser, however, may from time to time receive research from various firms with which it transacts client business, but it has no arrangements with these firms and clients do not pay higher commissions to receive such research.
52
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. Other Considerations
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements be renewed.

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.
54
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.

|
n | Market Yield (also known as Dividend Yield or Current Yield): Market yield is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly distribution divided by the Fund’s current market price. The Fund’s monthly distributions to its shareholders may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and, if at the end of the calendar year the Fund’s cumulative net ordinary income and net realized gains are less than the amount of the Fund’s distributions, a tax return of capital. |
|
n | 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.
