INVESTMENT ADVISER NAME CHANGE

Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management, the Funds' investment adviser, changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. ("Nuveen Fund Advisors"). Concurrently, Nuveen Fund Advisors formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities.

NUVEEN INVESTMENTS COMPLETES STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH FAF ADVISORS

On December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed the strategic combination between Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, the largest investment affiliate of Nuveen Investments, and FAF Advisors. As part of this transaction, U.S. Bancorp—the parent of FAF Advisors—received cash consideration and a 9.5% stake in Nuveen Investments in exchange for the long term investment business of FAF Advisors, including investment-management responsibilities for the non-money market mutual funds of the First American Funds family.

The approximately $27 billion of mutual fund and institutional assets managed by FAF Advisors, along with the investment professionals managing these assets and other key personnel, have become part of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. With these additions to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, this affiliate now manages more than $100 billion of assets across a broad range of strategies from municipal and taxable fixed income to traditional and specialized equity investments.

This combination does not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Funds in this report. Over time, Nuveen Investments expects that the combination will provide even more ways to meet the needs of investors who work with financial advisors and consultants by enhancing the multi-boutique model of Nuveen Investments, which also includes highly respected investment teams at HydePark, NWQ Investment Management, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors and Winslow Capital. Nuveen Investments managed approximately $195 billion of assets as of December 31, 2010.

Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

The global economy recorded another year of recovery from the financial and economic crises of 2008, but many of the factors that caused the crises still weigh on the prospects for continued recovery. In the U.S., ongoing weakness in housing values is putting pressure on homeowners and mortgage lenders. Similarly, the strong earnings recovery for corporations and banks has not been translated into increased hiring or more active lending. In addition, media and analyst reports on the fiscal conditions of various state and local entities have raised concerns with some investors. Globally, deleveraging by private and public borrowers is inhibiting economic growth and this process is far from complete.

Encouragingly, a variety of constructive actions are being taken by governments around the world to stimulate further recovery. In the U.S., the recent passage of a stimulatory tax bill relieves some of the pressure on the Federal Reserve System to promote economic expansion through quantitative easing and offers the promise of faster economic growth. A number of European governments are undertaking programs that could significantly reduce their budget deficits. Governments across the emerging markets are implementing various steps to deal with global capital flows without undermining international trade and investment.

The success of these government actions could have an important impact on whether 2011 brings further economic recovery and financial market progress. One risk associated with the extraordinary efforts to strengthen U.S. economic growth is that the debt of the U.S. government will continue to grow to unprecedented levels. Another risk is that over time there could be upward pressures on asset values in the U.S. and abroad, because what happens in the U.S. impacts the rest of the world economy. We must hope that the progress made on the fiscal front in 2010 will continue into 2011. In this environment, your Nuveen investment team continues to seek sustainable investment opportunities and to remain alert to potential risks in a recovery still facing many headwinds. On your behalf, we monitor their activities to assure they maintain their investment disciplines.

As you will note elsewhere in this report, on January 1, 2011, Nuveen Investments completed the acquisition of FAF Advisors, Inc., the manager of the First American Funds. The acquisition adds highly respected and distinct investment teams to meet the needs of investors and their advisors and is designed to benefit all fund shareholders by creating a fund organization with the potential for further economies of scale and the ability to draw from even greater talent and expertise to meet these investor needs.

As always, I encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board and Lead Independent Director

These Funds feature portfolio management by Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC. J. Patrick Rogers and Kenneth H. Toft serve as co-portfolio managers for JSN and JLA; Patrick and Michael T. Buckius are co-portfolio managers for JPZ and JPG. Patrick joined Gateway in 1989. He has been President and a Director of Gateway since 1995 and is the firm's Chief Executive Officer. Ken joined Gateway in 1992 and has been a Vice President and Portfolio Manager since 1997. Mike joined Gateway in 1999 and is currently Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager. Here they talk about economic and market conditions, their management strategies and the performance of the Funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

What were the general economic and market conditions during the reporting period ending December 31, 2010?

During this reporting period, the U.S. economy remained under considerable stress, and both the Federal Reserve and the federal government continued their efforts to improve the overall economic environment. For its part, the Fed held the benchmark fed funds rate in a target range of zero to 0.25% after cutting it to this record low level in December 2008. At its September 2010 meeting, the central bank renewed its commitment to keep the fed funds rate at "exceptionally low levels" for an "extended period." The Fed also stated that it was "prepared to take further policy actions as needed" to support economic recovery. The federal government continued to focus on implementing the economic stimulus package passed early in 2009 that was intended to provide job creation, tax relief, fiscal assistance to state and local governments, and expand unemployment benefits and other federal social welfare programs. Cognizant of the fragility of the financial system, in the fall of 2010 the Federal Reserve announced a second round of quantitative easing designed to help stimulate increased economic growth.

Recently, nearly all U.S. indicators of production, spending, and labor market activity have pointed toward an acceleration in economic growth. At the same time, inflation remained relatively tame, as the Consumer Price Index rose just 1.5% year-over-year as of December 31, 2010. However, unemployment remained historically high at 9.4%. In addition, the housing market continued to show signs of weakness with the average home price in the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Index of 20 large metro areas falling 1.6% over the twelve months ended November 2010 (the latest available figures at the time this report was prepared).

In 2010, the equity markets were forced to deal with stressful global realities. Evaluating events such as the threat of sovereign defaults in major economic markets and an increasing reliance on emerging markets for growth opportunities were new experiences navigated by many equity investors. Nevertheless, the S&P 500 Index finished the year on an ebullient note, rising 6.68% in December and recording a strong 15.06% performance for the calendar year 2010. However, these numbers mask many months of turbulence. Indeed, approximately two-thirds of the 2010 S&P 500 Index return, or 10.76%, was garnered in the fourth quarter, on the heels of a large scale liquidity program from the Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee. Also, the fourth quarter saw more fiscal stimulus in the form of lower tax rates on labor and capital and other incentives designed to promote consumption, including extended unemployment benefits. Corporate profit growth continued throughout the year, albeit not accompanied by significant top-line growth, while stubborn unemployment levels and continuing uncertainty over the resolution of the 2007-2009 financial system crises weighed on the equity markets much of the year.

The fourth quarter rally did succeed in lowering equity market volatility. The benchmark measure, the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (the "VIX"), finished the year at 17.75, down from 23.70 at the beginning of the quarter and 21.68 at the end of 2009. The VIX averaged 22.55 for the year and averaged 19.39 for the fourth quarter. Both levels are near its long-term historical average of approximately 20. Perhaps more importantly, the frequency of spikes, particularly in January, May and June, suggested lingering concerns over the vulnerability of the market rally.

Bond markets, which had benefited from continued lower levels of interest rates and tame inflation for much of the year, reversed course in the fourth quarter. The Barclays Capital U. S. Aggregate Bond Index posted a loss of 1.30% for the quarter. Nevertheless, this bond index did end the year with a solid return of 6.54%. Bond mutual funds experienced strong inflows for much of the year as investors chose to minimize their exposure to "riskier" equity assets. However, for the fourth quarter, as the decline in bond prices was too large to be offset by the low coupons of most types of investment-grade bonds, it became difficult for all but the highest-yielding and lowest-quality bonds to produce positive returns.

Over this period, what key strategies were used to manage the Funds?

The core strategy employed in each Fund consists of an investment in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities that seeks to substantially track the price movement of a stock market index or a custom blend of stock market indexes. The primary purpose of each equity portfolio is to support the index option-based risk management strategy employed by each Fund. These strategies remained consistent in each Fund throughout the period.

For JPZ and JPG, the equity portfolio seeks to track the price movements of the S&P 500 Index. The JSN equity portfolio is invested to replicate the price performance of a custom index consisting of 75% S&P 500 Index and 25% NASDAQ-100 Index. JLA seeks to replicate a 50/50 blend of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100 Indexes. JPZ, JSN and JLA actively write (sell) listed index call options against their entire stock portfolios. JPG differs in that its index option hedging activity is applied to 80% of the value of the equity portfolio.

Writing call options on a broad equity index, while investing in a portfolio of equities, enhances returns while foregoing some upside potential.

2  JSN's Comparative Index performance is a blended return consisting of: 1) 75% of the return of the S&P 500 Index, and 2) 25% of the NASDAQ-100 Index, which includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market based on market capitalization. The NASDAQ-100 Index reflects companies across major industry groups including computer hardware and software, telecommunications, retail/wholesale trade and biotechnology. Returns do not include the effects of sales charges or management fees. It is not possible to invest directly in this index.

3  JLA's Comparative Index performance is a blended return consisting of: 1) 50% of the return of the S&P 500 Index, and 2) 50% of the NASDAQ-100 Index. Returns do not include the effects of sales charges or management fees. It is not possible to invest directly in this index.

How did the Funds perform over this period?

The performance of JPZ, JSN, JLA and JPG, as well as comparative indexes, is presented in the accompanying table.

Average Annual Total Returns on Net Asset Value

For periods ended 12/31/10

Fund	1-Year			5-Year
JPZ		12.22	%		3.08	%
S&P 500 Index1		15.06	%		2.29	%
JSN		11.17	%		3.29	%
Comparative Index2		16.13	%		3.33	%
JLA		10.83	%		3.47	%
Comparative Index3		17.18	%		4.32	%
JPG		12.60	%		2.89	%
S&P 500 Index1		15.06	%		2.29	%

For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2010, each Fund produced a positive, risk-managed, double-digit return.

One factor constraining the performance of each Fund during the period was the sale of call options. While this strategy generates incremental cash flow, it limits the extent to which each Fund can benefit from rising equity markets like the ones experienced in 2010. However, each Fund's performance was helped by the elevated levels of volatility, which were at their most dramatic levels in May and June, as well as rising stock markets.

Elevated volatility levels directly resulted in higher cash flow from the sale of index call options. Both the VIX and the VXN (an indicator of implied volatility in NASDAQ-100 index options) reached historically high levels in May. Specifically, the VXN had a closing high of 46.6 on May 20; the VIX had a closing high of 45.8 on the same day. These heightened volatility levels, which contrast sharply with long-term averages of about 20, came after the May 6 "flash crash" followed by worries over fiscal stability of Ireland and Portugal.

Rising equity market values helped the Funds' performance as well. In particular, an uptrending equity market, with heightened volatility in the not-too-distant past, can set the Funds up for better-than-normal returns. This set of circumstances was evident in the third quarter, when the S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100 indexes were up 11.29% and 15.07%, respectively. The Funds all posted returns of greater than 9%, despite maintaining a risk-managed profile through the sale of index call options.

As noted above, sell-offs in equity markets directly result in a generally commensurate mark-down in the Funds' equity portfolios. Specifically, equities may go down faster than the Funds' call writing activity can "earn" option premiums. The second quarter of 2010 provides a good example as the S&P 500 Index was off 11.43% and JPZ was down 6.36%. The other Funds similarly cushioned the blow of the equity market decline, but did not completely offset it.

Distribution and
Share Price Information

The following information regarding your Fund's distributions is current as of December 31, 2010, and likely will vary over time based on the Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.

During the twelve-month reporting period, JPZ, JSN and JLA each reduced their quarterly distributions to shareholders in September. JPG did not make any changes to its quarterly distributions to shareholders. Some of the important factors affecting the amount and composition of these distributions are summarized below.

Each Fund has a managed distribution program. The goal of this program is to provide shareholders with relatively consistent and predictable cash flow by systematically converting the Fund's expected long-term return potential into regular distributions. As a result, regular 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 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 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, the shortfall will represent a portion of your original principal, unless the shortfall is offset during other time 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

Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund, Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund, Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage Fund, and Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund (the "Funds") at December 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the periods then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(a)  Per share Net Investment Income is calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)  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 Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in 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.

(c)  After expense reimbursement from Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.

N/A  Fund does not have a contractual reimbursement with the Adviser.

*  Rounds to less than $.01 per share.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") symbols are Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund (JPZ), Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund (JSN), Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage Fund (JLA) and Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund (JPG) (collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end registered investment companies.

Equity Premium Income's (JPZ) investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of the Standard & Poor's ("S&P") 500 Stock Index. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling index call options in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Equity Premium Opportunity's (JSN) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains from net index option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of a 75% / 25% combination of the S&P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ-100 Stock Index, respectively. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling S&P 500 and NASDAQ Index call options in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Equity Premium Advantage's (JLA) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains from net index option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of a 50% / 50% combination of the S&P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ-100 Stock Index, respectively. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling S&P 500 and NASDAQ Index call options in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Equity Premium and Growth's (JPG) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains from net index option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of the S&P 500 Stock Index. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling index call options covering approximately 80% of the value of the Fund's equity portfolio in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") has changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuation

Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market ("NASDAQ") are valued, except as indicated below, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and ask prices and are generally classified as Level 1. Prices of certain American Depository Receipts ("ADR") held by the Funds that trade in only limited volume in the United States are valued based on the last traded price, official closing price, or mean between the most recent bid and ask prices of the underlying non-U.S.-traded stock, adjusted as appropriate for the underlying-to-ADR conversion ratio and foreign

exchange rate, and from time-to-time may also be adjusted further to take into account material events that may take place after the close of the local non-U.S. market but before the close of the NYSE. These securities generally represent a transfer from a Level 1 to a Level 2 security.

Index options are generally valued at the average of the closing bid and asked quotations. The close of trading of index options traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange normally occurs at 4:15 Eastern Time (ET), which is different from the normal 4:00 ET close of the NYSE (the time of day as of which each Fund's NAV is calculated). Under normal market circumstances, closing index option quotations are considered to reflect the index option contract values as of the close of the NYSE and will be used to value the option contracts. However, a significant change in the S&P 500 or NASDAQ-100 futures contracts between the NYSE close and the options market close will be considered as an indication that closing market quotations for index options do not reflect the value of the contracts as of the stock market close. In the event of such a significant change, the Fund's Board of Trustees or its designee will determine a value for the options. Any such valuation will likely take into account any information that may be available about the actual trading price of the affected option as of 4:00 ET, and if no such information is reliably available, the valuation of the option may take into account various option pricing methodologies, as determined to be appropriate under the circumstances. Index options are generally classified as Level 1.

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds' Board of Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund's net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security's fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: 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. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds' Board of Trustees or its designee.

Refer to Footnote 2—Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.

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, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. In any year when the Funds realize net capital gains, each Fund may choose to distribute all or a portion of its net capital gains to shareholders, or alternatively, to retain all or a portion of its net capital gains and pay federal corporate income taxes on such retained gains.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is 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

Each Fund makes quarterly cash distributions to 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

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 attributed to net unrealized gains, if any, is distributed from the Fund's assets and is treated by shareholders as a non-taxable distribution ("Return of Capital") 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 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 financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Each Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or 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 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 income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

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. ET. Investments, 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.

The realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency" and "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Options Transactions

The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to write (sell) call options, in an attempt to manage such risk. When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of "Call options written, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option until the option is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options purchased during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of call options purchased" on the Statement of Operations. The changes in the value of options written during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of call options written" on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from options written " on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, each Fund wrote call options on a broad equity index, while investing in a portfolio of equities, to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential.

The average notional amount of call options written during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, for each Fund was as follows:

	Equity Premium Income (JPZ)			Equity Premium Opportunity (JSN)			Equity Premium Advantage (JLA)			Equity Premium and Growth (JPG)
Average notional amount of call options written*	$	(483,287,500	)	$	(842,277,200	)	$	(332,772,800	)	$	(175,988,000	)

*  The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding balance at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on call options written.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund's exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds 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 valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the counterparty 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. GAAP 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 from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Fair Value Measurements

In determining the fair value of each Fund's 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).

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolios of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1—General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

6. 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 timing differences in recording income, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the recognition of unrealized gain or loss for tax (mark-to-market) on option contracts. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

At December 31, 2010, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

	Equity Premium Income (JPZ)			Equity Premium Opportunity (JSN)			Equity Premium Advantage (JLA)			Equity Premium and Growth (JPG)
Cost of investments	$	454,513,077		$	729,388,340		$	265,357,142		$	219,139,191

Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	80,098,554		$	194,280,405		$	99,397,848		$	22,995,357

Permanent differences, primarily due to REIT adjustments and return of capital distributions, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds' components of net assets at December 31, 2010, the Funds' tax year-end, as follows:

	Equity Premium Income (JPZ)			Equity Premium Opportunity (JSN)			Equity Premium Advantage (JLA)			Equity Premium and Growth (JPG)
Paid-in surplus	$	(38,039,565	)	$	(74,320,304	)	$	(30,740,951	)	$	(14,317,398	)

Accumulated net realized gain (loss)		(16,446	)		(38,008	)		(10,260	)		(131	)

The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains at December 31, 2010, the Funds' tax year end, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund's management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Average Daily Managed Assets*	Equity Premium Income (JPZ) Equity Premium Opportunity (JSN) Equity Premium Advantage (JLA) 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

For the next $500 million		.6300
For the next $500 million		.6050
For managed assets over $2 billion		.5800

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion		.2000	%
$56 billion		.1996

*  For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds' use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds that constitute "eligible assets." Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds and assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser's assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, the complex-level fee rate was .1831%.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund's overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC ("Gateway"), under which Gateway manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. Gateway is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fee paid to the Adviser.

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 Equity Premium Income's (JPZ) 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:

Year Ending October 31,					Year Ending October 31,

Annual Investment Management
Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited)

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 25-26, 2010 (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 Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"). In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2010 (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"), 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 and comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Funds (as described in more detail below), 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

Nuveen Investments
71

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

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 Advisory 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, the Fund Adviser's organization and business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser 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, including continued activities to refinance auction rate preferred securities, manage leverage during periods of market turbulence and implement an enhanced leverage management process, modify investment mandates in light of market conditions and seek shareholder approval as necessary, maintain the fund share repurchase program and maintain shareholder communications to keep shareholders apprised of Nuveen's efforts in refinancing preferred shares. In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, 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 provide timely information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining and enhancing a closed-end fund website; participating in conferences and having direct communications with analysts and financial advisors.

As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the background, experience and track record of the Fund Adviser's investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel, and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate the Fund Adviser's ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive for taking undue risks.

Nuveen Investments
72

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. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered NAM's compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures.

The Independent Board Members also considered NAM's oversight of the performance, business activities and compliance of the Sub-Adviser. In that regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed an evaluation of the Sub-Adviser from NAM. 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 also considered the performance of the Funds. In addition, the Board 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. As part of their oversight, the Independent Board Members also continued their program of seeking to visit each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. The Independent Board Members noted that NAM recommended the renewal of the Sub-advisory Agreements and considered the basis for such recommendations.

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 Funds under the respective 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 performance results of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund's historic investment performance as well as information comparing the Fund's performance information with that of other funds (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks. In this regard, the performance information the Board reviewed included the Fund's total return information compared to the returns of its Performance Peer Group and recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter, one-, three- (and, for the Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund only, five-) year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the quarter, one-, three- (and, for the Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund and the Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund, five-) year periods ending March 31, 2010. Moreover, the Board reviewed the peer ranking of the Nuveen funds sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser in the aggregate. The Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and discount levels. This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings. In reviewing peer comparison information, the Independent Board Members recognized that the

Nuveen Investments
73

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

Performance Peer Group of certain funds may not adequately represent the objectives and strategies of the funds, thereby limiting the usefulness of comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance over time had been satisfactory. The Board noted that while the Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund, the Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund and the Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage Fund lagged their respective peers somewhat in the short-term one-year period, they demonstrated more favorable performance in the longer three- and, in the case of the Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund, five-year periods. In addition, although the Board noted that the Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund lagged its peers over various periods, the Board noted the differences with the Performance Peer Group and that the Fund outperformed its benchmark in the three-year period.

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, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of funds based on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the "Peer Universe") and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the "Peer Group") and any expense limitations.

The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and/or Peer Group. 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 asset level of a fund relative to peers; the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group; the investment objectives of the peers; expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year; levels of reimbursement; the timing of information used; and the differences in the type and use of leverage may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers.

In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members also 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). The Independent Board Members noted that each Fund had net management fees and/or a net expense ratio below the peer average of its respective Peer Group or Peer Universe.

Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees 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), foreign investment funds offered by Nuveen 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 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 noted that such fees were the result of arm's-length negotiations.

3. Profitability of Fund Advisers

In conjunction with its review of fees, the 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, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2009. 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 also considered Nuveen's revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition prepared by Nuveen.

In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors

Nuveen Investments
75

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

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 their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided. The Independent Board Members also considered the Sub-Adviser's revenues, 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 a Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee 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 have recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset levels increase. Further, the Independent Board Members noted that although closed-end funds may from time to time make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds' 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 are generally reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the

Nuveen Investments
76

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 schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.

E. Indirect Benefits

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 any revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk and as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds.

In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether each 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. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered that while the Sub-Adviser may select brokers that provide it with research services, it is the Sub-Adviser's current practice not to receive soft dollar credits in connection with trades executed for the Nuveen funds it advises.

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 a Fund 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 Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on 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 quarter you'll receive a statement showing your total 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. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on 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 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

Nuveen Investments
78

Reinvest Automatically
Easily and Conveniently (continued)

by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

Flexible

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change.

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 financial 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.

•  Current Distribution Rate: Current distribution rate 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 NAV per share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund

The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Fund’s auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years. For engagements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers 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).

(1) “Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements and services provided in 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 financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

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 PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP about any non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence.

Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

The registrant’s Board has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)).

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Adviser, Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.,  has engaged Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (“Gateway” or the “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. As part of these services, the Adviser has also delegated to the 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 the Sub-Adviser’s voting to ensure that they are carrying out their duties. The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures are summarized as follows:

The SEC has issued regulations with respect to proxy voting for all registered investment advisers and their clients. To meet these requirements on a client’s behalf, Gateway has adopted policies as described below.

Gateway recognizes that voting rights are financial assets of a client’s account and that they must be managed accordingly, with voting decisions made in the client’s best interests. To that end and because of increasing complexity in administering policies in this area, Gateway has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services, an affiliate of RiskMetrics Group (“ISS”), a nationally recognized proxy voting agent, to assist in administering client proxy votes and to provide voting recommendation on each ballot issue. ISS has developed its US Proxy Voting Manual, which provides guidelines for proxy voting that are designed to serve the best interest of investors. Effective July 1, 2003, Gateway incorporated these guidelines into its proxy voting policies and procedures and has instructed ISS to vote accordingly. Gateway’s policies and procedures now reflect ISS’s voting guidelines with regard to particular types of issues that my come before shareholder meetings, and also address the rare circumstances in which ISS’ voting recommendations may not be followed. The procedures also describe how any conflicts of interest would be handled.

The regulations were implemented to improve corporate governance and the functioning of the free market. We support these objectives and have adopted the policies and procedures as described above to effectively represent each client’s interests.

ITEM 8.

Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (NFA) is the registrant’s investment adviser (NFA is also referred to as the “Adviser”.)  NFA, as Adviser, provides discretionary investment advisory services.  NFA is responsible for the selection and on-going monitoring of the Fund’s investment portfolio, managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing certain clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services.  The Adviser has engaged Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (“Gateway”, or the “Sub-Adviser”), as sub-adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services.  The following section provides information on the portfolio managers at the Sub-Adviser.

As described above, the portfolio managers may manage other accounts with investment strategies similar to the Funds, including other investment companies and separately managed accounts.  Fees earned by Gateway may vary among these accounts and the portfolio managers may personally invest in some but not all of these accounts.  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 one or more of the Funds.  A conflict may also exist if a portfolio manager identified a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but one or more of the Funds are not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts.  In addition, the portfolio manager may execute transactions for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by one or more of the Funds.  However, Gateway believes 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 similar factors.  In addition, Gateway 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

Messrs. Rogers and Buckius are compensated for their services by Gateway.  Their compensation consists of a fixed salary, incentive compensation related to the financial performance of Gateway (but not based on the investment performance of any of the Funds or any other managed account, either absolutely or in relation to any benchmark), and a retirement plan. The incentive compensation component is anticipated to be larger than the base salary component.  Messrs. Rogers and Buckius are parties to employment agreements that provide for automatic renewals for successive one-calendar-year periods and, among other things, a specified base salary and certain undertakings not to compete with the Adviser or solicit its clients.  For Mr. Rogers, those undertakings will expire the later of February 15, 2016 or three years from the termination of Mr. Rogers’ employment.  For Mr. Buckius, the non-competition and non-solicitation undertakings will expire the later of one year from the termination of employment, or one year after the period during which severance payments are made pursuant to the agreement.  The incentive compensation plan applicable to Messrs. Rogers and Buckius, provides for both a long-term incentive pool and a short-term incentive pool, the sizes of which are determined based on profitability of Gateway.
