Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

These are perplexing times for investors. The global economy continues to struggle. The solutions being implemented in the eurozone to deal with the debt crises of many of its member countries are not yet seen as sufficient by the financial markets. The political paralysis in the U.S. has prevented the compromises necessary to deal with the fiscal imbalance and government spending priorities. The efforts by individual consumers, governments and financial institutions to reduce their debts are increasing savings but reducing demand for the goods and services that drive employment. These developments are undermining the rebuilding of confidence by consumers, corporations and investors that is so essential to a resumption of economic growth.

Although it is painfully slow, progress is being made. In Europe, the turnover of a number of national governments reflects the realization by politicians and voters alike that leaders who practiced business as usual had to be replaced by leaders willing to face problems and accept the hard choices needed to resolve them. The recent coordinated efforts by central banks in the U.S. and Europe to provide liquidity to the largest European banks indicates that these monetary authorities are committed to facilitating a recovery in the European banking sector.

In the U.S., the failure of the congressionally appointed Debt Reduction Committee was a blow to those who hoped for a bipartisan effort to finally begin addressing the looming fiscal crisis. Nevertheless, Congress and the administration cannot ignore the issue for long. The Bush era tax cuts are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012, and six months later the $1.2 trillion of mandatory across-the-board spending cuts under the Budget Control Act of 2011 begin to go into effect. Any legislative modification would require bipartisan support and the prospects for a bipartisan solution are unclear. The impact of these two developments would be a mixed blessing: a meaningful reduction in the annual budget deficit at the cost of slowing the economic recovery.

It is in these particularly volatile markets that professional investment management is most important. Skillful investment teams who have experienced challenging markets and remain committed to their investment disciplines are critical to the success of an investor's long-term objectives. In fact, many long-term investment track records are built during challenging markets when managers are able to protect investors against these economic crosscurrents. Experienced investment teams know that volatile markets put a premium on companies and investment ideas that will weather the short-term volatility and that compelling values and opportunities are opened up when markets overreact to negative developments. By maintaining appropriate time horizons, diversification and relying on practiced investment teams, we believe that investors can achieve their long-term investment objectives.

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

These Funds are managed by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Steve Lee, CFA, and Timothy Palmer, CFA, manage the Funds. Steve has more than 15 years of industry experience and Timothy has more than 25 years of experience. Here they discuss general economic and market conditions, their management strategy and the performance of the Funds during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2011.

What were the general market conditions for the reporting period?

During this period, the U.S. economy continued to recover from the recent recession, but progress remained slow. The country's gross domestic product (GDP) grew in 2011, but at a slower rate than in 2010 (1.7% vs. 3.0%). The unemployment picture showed some improvement, with the national unemployment rate standing at 8.5% as of December 2011, compared with 9.4% one year earlier. However, the housing market continued to be a weak spot. For the twelve months ended November 2011 (the most recent data available at the time this report was prepared), the average home price in the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Index lost 1.3%, with 18 of the 20 major metropolitan areas reporting lower values. In addition, the U.S. economic picture continued to be clouded by concerns about the European debt crisis and efforts to reduce the federal deficit.

In an attempt to improve the overall economic environment, the Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to hold the benchmark fed funds rate at the record low level of zero to 0.25% that it had established in December 2008. In January 2012 (following the close of this reporting period), the central bank stated that economic conditions would likely warrant maintaining this low rate through 2014. The Fed also implemented a program to extend the average maturity of its U.S. Treasury holdings by purchasing $400 billion of these securities with maturities of six to thirty years and selling an equal amount of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of three years or less. The goals of this program, which the Fed expects to complete by the end of June 2012, are to lower longer-term interest rates, support a stronger economic recovery and help ensure that inflation remains at levels consistent with the Fed's mandates of maximum employment and price stability.

The U.S. and global equity and bond markets experienced periods of extreme volatility over the twelve-month reporting period, and posted mixed results for the full year. In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index finished up 2.11% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was up 7.84%. Internationally, the MSCI EAFE Index lost 11.73% in 2011 while the Citigroup Non-U.S. World Goverment 1-3 Year Bond Index gained 2.22%.

Foreign currencies experienced volatility throughout the twelve-month period. The first quarter of 2011 alone was marked by extreme volatility, as the financial markets had to deal with several negative shocks such as global inflation pressures, the impact of the earthquake in Japan, and the political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa.

Throughout the rest of the reporting period, the uncertain prospects for global growth and the eurozone financial crisis continued to be the main drivers of financial markets. Eurozone economies continued to weaken, and some were expecting even more slow down as tighter fiscal policies and credit conditions depressed economic activities.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the notable development was the sharp increases in Italian sovereign bond yields as the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis spread from the peripheral countries to the core. The October and December European Union (EU) summits failed to calm the markets. However, the European Central Bank cut its policy rates and moved to provide the liquidity support for banks, which might reduce some of the risks associated with bank funding. Central banks in Brazil, Indonesia, Australia, Sweden, Norway, China, and Israel also loosened their monetary policies to improve credit conditions and support their economies. These policy responses, as well as flight to quality flows, supported high quality bond markets, particularly during the fourth quarter.

Given the uncertain global macro outlook, investors favored the currencies from countries with low debt levels and trade surpluses, such as Australian dollar and Canadian dollar. The Japanese yen also rallied sharply at the beginning the fourth quarter, but the Bank of Japan intervened to weaken the currency and support local exporters. On the other hand, investors avoided the currencies of countries that are dependent on external financing to pay for their current account deficits or external debts, such as Indian rupee and Hungarian forint. The euro and other European currencies also performed poorly as those countries experienced portfolio outflows.

What key strategies were used to manage the Funds during this reporting period?

GCF seeks to provide current income while also seeking total returns. The Fund is comprised of a portfolio of investments that provides long and short exposure to selected foreign currencies. The Fund seeks to gain exposure to these foreign currencies by investing in short-term foreign sovereign debt and other instruments that provide foreign currency exposure. The currencies are selected by reviewing the global currency markets through a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors. We look at factors such as trading liquidity, as well as political and economic factors to eliminate currencies we believe to be too volatile or otherwise undesirable for investment at that time.

The Fund may buy or sell foreign sovereign debt securities, or may use currency contracts that provide similar exposure. In addition, the Fund seeks to improve the Fund's risk-adjusted returns by helping to reduce exposure to specific currencies when it appears, in our opinion, that market conditions or trends will cause their value to decline significantly.

JGG seeks to provide a high level of current income and gains, as well as capital preservation. The Fund invests in global government debt securities directly, or indirectly by

investing in debt-related derivative instruments. These derivative instruments include interest rate swaps, total return swaps, bond futures, and contracts to purchase government debt securities on a forward basis. At least 80% of the debt will be hedged to the U.S. dollar, and up to 30% may be invested in emerging market government securities. The Fund also features a foreign currency strategy that seeks to take long positions in countries with higher yielding government debt and short positions in countries with lower yielding debt. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage.

JGT is designed to provide the potential for an attractive level of current income and total return. The Fund invests directly and indirectly in a portfolio of short-term international government securities, with approximately 50% denominated in unhedged, non-U.S. currencies. Indirect investments in international non-U.S. government securities are made by purchasing forward currency contracts and other derivative instruments that are collateralized by direct investments in U.S. cash equivalents, including U.S. government debt and agency paper. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage.

How did the Funds perform over this period?

The performance of the Funds, as well as comparative indices, is presented in the accompanying table.

Average Annual Total Returns on Net Asset Value

For periods ended 12/31/11

Fund	1-Year			5-Year			Since Inception*
GCF		-4.69	%		1.24	%		1.99	%
3-Month LIBOR**		0.31	%		2.00	%		2.49	%
JGG		2.82	%		4.19	%		4.82	%

JGT		-2.39	%		N/A			2.77	%
Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index**		2.22	%		N/A			6.02	%

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, GCF, JGG and JGT all underperformed their comparative benchmark or index. It should be noted that while each of these Funds focuses to a large degree on managing foreign government debt and currency exposures, none of these Funds is designed for close comparison to a particular measure of market performance.

GCF's currency strategy that invests in a basket of high yielding currencies and shorts a basket of low yielding currencies did not work as well as expected during the third quarter of 2011, as global risk sentiment was extremely negative during that time. The Fund's strategy worked better during the fourth quarter, when higher yielding currencies outperformed lower yielding currencies. However, the Fund underperformed for the twelve-month reporting period as the concerns about the global economy and Greek debt situation continued. Overall, the Fund benefited from its long positions in the Australian and New Zealand dollar and its short position in the Czech Republic koruna, while short positions in the Swiss franc and Japanese yen and long positions in the Turkish lira, Indian rupee and Chilean peso detracted from performance.

During the reporting period, the JGG's fixed-income positions outperformed the Citigroup index, but they were not enough to offset the losses from the currency's position. The Fund's fixed income long positions in New Zealand and Australian dollar, the Chilean peso and the Israeli shekel positively contributed to performance. However, the Fund's fixed income short positions in the Czech Republic koruna and the Swedish krona negatively impacted performance. Our long positions in the Brazilian real and Australian dollar and short position in Czech Republic koruna contributed positively, while short positions in the Japanese yen and Swiss franc and our long position in the Turkish lira detracted. Also contributing to performance was our underweight position in Italy versus the Citigroup index, but our underweight position in the United Kingdom hindered our performance.

JGT's performance for the reporting period was negatively impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar. During the third quarter in particular, emerging markets sold off dramatically and the central banks had to intervene to support their currencies and provide liquidity. The Fund did rebound in the fourth quarter as investor's appetite for risk increased. The Fund's large exposure to high quality currencies, such as the Australian dollar, benefited performance. Also contributing positively was our long position in the the Chinese yuan. The Fund's long positions in the Turkish lira, South African rand and Mexican peso detracted from performance.

In each of the Funds, we also purchased short term call options on currencies (Brazilian real for GCF and JGG and Turkish lira for JGT) in an attempt to benefit from possible appreciation in the currency, and we sold higher strike calls on the Brazilian real that would limit each Fund's upside if such appreciation took place. We also sold put options on the Turkish lira. In combination, these transactions were designed to help the Funds benefit from a moderate appreciation in these currencies. Over this period, the positions did not help the Funds' performance, and the positions expired in GCF and JGG prior to the close of the reporting period.

In both JGG and JGT, foreign currency exchange contracts were used both to reduce risk and to take portfolio positions. The Funds reduced risk by hedging the foreign currency risk associated with the Fund's foreign debt investments. The Funds took port-folio positions through a forward purchase of a foreign currency to benefit from its potential appreciation, and purchased one currency and sold another to benefit from their potential movement relative to one another.

JGG invested in interest rate swaps, receiving and paying a fixed rate of interest at various points of the yield curve in different countries. These transactions were designed to benefit from potential relative interest rate moves, and the shapes of the yield curves, in a variety of countries. During the period, we also invested JGG in U.S. Treasury futures to benefit from potential flattening of the yield curve or potential changes in the shape of the U.S. government bond yield curve.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Nuveen Investments
8

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:

Investment Risk. The possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.

Price Risk. Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the rein- vestment of Fund dividends and distributions.

Leverage Risk. The Funds' use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for each Fund's per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund's leveraging strategy will be successful.

Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations. This is particularly true for funds employing a managed distribution program.

Below-Investment Grade Risk. Investments in securities below-investment grade quality are predominantly speculative and subject to greater volatility and risk of default.

Non-U.S. Securities Risk. Investments in non-U.S securities involve special risks not typically associated with domestic investments including currency risk and adverse political, social and economic development. These risks often are magnified in emerging markets.

Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Funds to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.

Derivatives Strategy Risk. Derivative securities, such as calls, puts, warrants, swaps and forwards, carry risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with the underlying investments.

Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund's portfolios will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.

Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.

Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund's port- folio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.

Currency Risk. Changes in exchange rates will affect the value of a Fund's investments.

Counterparty Risk. To the extent that a Fund's derivative investments are purchased or sold in over-the-counter transactions, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that counter- parties to these transactions will be unable to meet their obligations.

Interest Rate Swaps Risk. The risk that yields will move in the direction opposite to the direction anticipated by a Fund, which would cause a Fund to make payments to its counterparty in the transaction that could adversely affect the Fund's performance.

Forward Currency Contracts Risk. Forward currency contracts are not standardized and are substantially unregulated. Principals are not required to continue to make markets in the securities or currencies they trade and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity, sometimes of significant duration. In addition, trading forward currency contracts can have the effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure.

Share Distribution and
Price Information

Distribution Information

The following information regarding each Fund's distributions is current as of December 31, 2011, and likely will vary over time based on the Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.

During the twelve-month reporting period, GCF increased its quarterly distribution to shareholders during March and again during June. JGG reduced its quarterly distribution to shareholders during March, June and again during September. JGT reduced its quarterly distribution to shareholders during March and again during December. 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 a 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 the Fund's returns fall short of distributions, the shortfall will represent a portion of the distribution as a return of your original principal,

Nuveen Investments
10

*** JGT elected to retain a portion of its realized long-term capital gains for the tax year ended December 31, 2007, and pay required federal corporate income taxes on this amount. As reported on Form 2439, shareholders on record date must include their pro-rata share of these gains on their applicable federal tax returns, and are entitled to take offsetting tax credits, for their pro-rata share of the taxes paid by the Fund. The total returns "Including retained gain tax credit/refund" include the economic benefit to shareholders on record date of these tax credits/refunds. The Fund had no retained capital gains for the tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2008.

unless the shortfall is offset during other time periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent) when the Fund's total return exceeds distributions.

• Because distribution source estimates are updated during the year based on a Fund's performance and forecast for its current fiscal year (which is the calendar year for each Fund), estimates on the nature of your distributions provided at the time the distributions are paid may differ from both the tax information reported to you in your Fund's IRS Form 1099 statement provided at year end, as well as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of your investment.

The following table provides information regarding each Fund's distributions and total return performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. This information is intended to help you better understand whether the Fund's returns for the specified time period were sufficient to meet each Fund's distributions.

(c) • 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 divided 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.

• For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, and prior, Global Income & Currency's (GCF) Total Returns Based on Market Value and Net Asset Value reflect the performance of the Fund based on a calculation approved by Fund management of IQ Investment Advisers, LLC, the Fund's previous investment adviser. Total returns based on the calculations described above may have produced substantially different results. Total returns are not annualized.

• Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) elected to retain a portion of its realized long-term capital gains for the following tax years ended December 31, (which is the fiscal year-end for the Fund) and pay required federal corporate income taxes on these amounts.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (GCF), Nuveen Global Government Enhanced Income Fund (JGG) and Nuveen Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income Fund (JGT) (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end registered investment companies. Global Income & Currency (GCF) was organized as a Maryland business trust on August 2, 2005. Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on April 13, 2006 and February 14, 2007, respectively.

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

Global Income & Currency's (GCF) investment objective is to provide current income while also seeking total returns. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by constructing and actively managing a portfolio of investments that provides long and short exposure to selected foreign currencies. The Fund's portfolio will be comprised of short-term fixed income securities and investments in other instruments that provide long and short exposure to the eligible currencies selected by the Sub-Adviser using the investment process described in its prospectus. In implementing its investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser begins the investment process by investing all or substantially all of the Fund's assets primarily in short-term debt securities, including, but not limited to, foreign sovereign debt securities, securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities, debt obligations of corporate issuers and other debt securities that the Sub-Adviser believes are appropriate investments for the Fund (the "Debt Securities"). Following its investment in the Debt Securities, the Sub-Adviser generally will make investments in forward contracts and other instruments that provide exposure to selected foreign currencies.

Global Government Enhanced Income's (JGG) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital preservation. The Fund invests in global government debt securities directly, or indirectly by investing in debt-related derivative instruments. These derivative instruments include interest rate swaps, total return swaps, bond futures, and contracts to purchase government debt securities on a forward basis. At least 80% of the debt will be hedged to the U.S. Dollar, and up to 30% may be invested in emerging market government securities. The Fund also features a currency strategy of up to 35% long and 35% short positions, with a target of 25% / 25%. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage. The Adviser will monitor and adjust investments using a propriety risk reduction methodology.

Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income's (JGT) primary investment objective is to provide an attractive level of current income and total return. The Fund will invest directly and indirectly in a portfolio of short-term international government securities. The Fund will invest approximately 50% of its assets directly in international short-term government securities that are denominated in non-U.S. currencies and will not be currency hedged. Indirect investments in international non-U.S. government securities are made by purchasing forward currency contracts and other derivative instruments that offer exposure to the returns of short-term international (non-U.S.) government securities. These contracts are collateralized by direct investments in U.S. cash equivalents, including U.S. government debt and agency paper. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage. The Adviser will monitor and adjust investments using a propriety risk reduction methodology.

Significant Accounting Policies

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").

Investment Valuation

Prices of fixed-income securities, short-term U.S. and international government securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees. These

Nuveen Investments
34

securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. When price quotes are not readily available, the pricing service establishes a security's fair value using methods that 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. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.

Investments in open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date. These investment vehicles are generally classified as Level 1.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Funds' shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If significant market events occur between the time of determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Funds' NAV is determined, or if under the Funds' procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, the security would be valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Funds' Board of Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3.

The value of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or in the absence of such a price, the last traded price. Exchange-traded options and futures contracts are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated mean price and are generally classified as Level 2.

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 Directors/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 as 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 Directors/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 for federal income tax purposes. 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 December 31, 2011, the Funds had no outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Investment Income

Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes 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 investment company taxable income to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue

Nuveen Investments
35

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Code applicable to regulated investment companies ("RICs"). 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 Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

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 Directors/Trustees, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund's investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a "Managed Distribution Program"). Total distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from each Fund's net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains in the Fund's portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid 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.

The actual character of distributions made by the Funds during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Each Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency exchange contracts, 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, other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. 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 a Fund and the amounts actually received.

The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options purchased, options written and swap contracts are recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments are recognized as a component of "Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options purchased, options written, swaps and swaptions written are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (deprecation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options purchased, options written, swaps and swaptions written, respectively" when applicable.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

Each Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in an attempt to manage such risk under two circumstances: (i) when a Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency to "lock in" the U.S. exchange rate of the transaction, with such period being a short-dated contract covering the period between transaction date and settlement date; or (ii) when the Sub-Adviser believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may experience a substantial movement against the U.S. dollar or against another foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the forward rate and are recognized as a component of "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the contracts during the reporting period is recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts" on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, a Fund recognizes the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered and the value at the time it was closed or offset as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts" on the Statement of Operations.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts will generally not be entered into for terms greater than three months, but may have maturities of up to six months or more. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund's investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward foreign currency contracts are subject to counterparty risk if the counterparty fails to perform as specified in the contract due to financial impairment or other reason.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, Global Income & Currency (GCF) entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts buying currencies expected to appreciate and selling currencies expected to depreciate. Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce risk and to take portfolio positions. The Funds reduce risk by hedging the foreign currency risk associated with the Fund's foreign debt investments. The Funds took portfolio positions through a forward purchase of a foreign currency to benefit from its potential appreciation, and purchased one currency and sold another to benefit from their potential movement relative to one another.

The average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, were as follows:

				Global Income & Currency (GCF)				Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)				Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)
Average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding*					27				33				47

* The average number of foreign currency exchange contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts 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 forward foreign currency exchange contract activity.

Futures Contracts

Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in attempt to manage such risk. 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." Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as "Deposits with brokers for open futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made

Nuveen Investments

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable or payable for "Variation margin on futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract and is recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations. 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 value of the contract when originally entered into and is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations.

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. Global Income & Currency (GCF) and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) did not invest in futures contracts during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) entered into treasury futures to benefit from potential flattening of the yield curve or potential from changes in the shape of the U.S. government bond yield curve. The Fund also invested in a foreign currency future to manage foreign currency exposure. To reduce unwanted currency exposure from the Fund's portfolio, a short foreign currency future would be acquired.

The average number of futures contracts outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, was as follows:

				Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)
Average number of futures contracts outstanding*					41

* The average number of futures contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts 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 futures contract activity.

Interest Rate Swaps

Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to invest in interest rate swap transactions in an attempt to manage such risk. Each Fund uses interest rate swap contracts for purposes of risk reduction or expressing market views. An example of risk reduction would be to synthetically convert certain Fund positions in fixed-rate securities effectively into adjustable rate instruments and thereby shorten the average interest rate reset time and duration of each Fund's portfolio of investments. An example of expressing a market view would be to enter into swaps of different tenors that offset one another in whole or in part (in one case paying the fixed leg, in the other case receiving the fixed leg), in order to benefit if certain changes occur in the slope of the yield curve. Interest rate swap contracts involve each Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed or floating rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying or receiving from each Fund a variable rate payment. The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap contract. Interest rate swap contracts 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. Each Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the market value of the Fund's contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are recognized as "Interest rate swaps premiums paid and /or received" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement are to compensate for differences

Nuveen Investments
38

between the stated terms of the swap agreements and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps, net" with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of interest rate swaps." Once periodic payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from interest rate swaps" on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of interest rate swap contracts. For tax purposes, periodic payments are treated as ordinary income or expense. Global Income & Currency (GCF) and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) did not invest in interest rate swap contracts during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) invested in interest rate swaps, receiving and paying a fixed rate of interest at various points of the yield curve in different countries. The Fund's investments in these interest rate swap transactions were designed to benefit from potential relative interest rate moves, and the shapes of the yield curves, in a variety of countries.

The average number of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, were as follows:

				Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)
Average number of interest rate swap contracts outstanding*					14

* The average number of interest rate swap contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts 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 interest rate swap contract activity.

Options Transactions

Each Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities, futures, swaps ("swaptions") or currencies in an attempt to manage such risk. The purchase of options and/or swaptions involves the risk of loss of all or a part of the cash paid for the options (the premium). The market risk associated with purchasing options and/or swaptions is limited to the premium paid. The counterparty credit risk of purchasing options and/or swaptions, however, needs also to take into account the current value of the option, as this is the performance expected from the counterparty. When a Fund purchases an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as a component of "Options and/or Swaptions purchased, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a Fund writes an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of "Options and/or Swaptions written, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option and/or swaption until the option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions purchased during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Options and/or Swaptions purchased" on the Statement of Operations. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions written during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Options and/or Swaptions written" on the Statement of Operations. When an option and/or swaption 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 and/or Swaptions purchased and/or written" on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as a writer of an option and/or swaption, 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 and/or swaption. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, each of the Funds purchased short-term call options on currencies (the Brazilian real for Global Income & Currency (GCF) and Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) and the Turkish lira for Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)) in an attempt to benefit from an appreciation in the currency, and wrote (sold) higher strike calls on the same currency that would limit the Funds' upside if such appreciation took place. These transactions would therefore have benefited from a moderate appreciation in these currencies.

The Funds did not purchase/write swaptions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

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.

Due from Broker

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("Lehman") filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Federal Court. A number of Lehman subsidiaries have subsequently filed bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceedings in the

Nuveen Investments
40

U.S. and other jurisdictions. Lehman's bankruptcy caused the Funds to terminate their outstanding Lehman derivative positions and quantify such exposures. The Funds have filed claims in the relevant Lehman bankruptcy proceedings, as appropriate. The Funds' net exposure, after application of available offsets, is expected to be modest.

In conjunction with quantifying exposure to such Lehman transactions, the Funds discounted the net gains on their outstanding Lehman derivative contracts prior to their scheduled settlement dates by an amount the Adviser believed to be the Funds' expected loss rate in seeking recovery in bankruptcy. This discounted value is recognized as "net of amounts uncollectible of" the component of "Due from broker" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) also has an outstanding trade receivable in the amount of $871,186 from Lehman, which is recognized as a component of "Due from Broker" on Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund's Adviser has agreed that to the extent that this asset is not ultimately recovered by the Fund, the Adviser or another party shall reimburse the Fund for this asset. The Fund's custodian has also agreed to waive any overdraft charges resulting from this receivable. As the receivable is an offset of the overdraft noted on the Fund's accounting records and recognized as "Cash overdraft" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there has been no effect on the Fund's NAV.

Zero Coupon Securities

Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

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 directors/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

Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is 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 methodologies 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 December 31, 2011:

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 the Funds were 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.

The following tables present the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Funds as of December 31, 2011, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

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 the amortization of premium, recognition of unrealized gain or loss for tax (mark-to-market) for certain foreign currency contracts, 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 as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

	Global Income & Currency (GCF)			Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)			Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)

* Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends and interest, and current year earnings and profits attributable to realized gains.

** The Funds designated as a long-term capital gain dividend, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the Funds' tax year end, the following Fund had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. If not applied, the carryforwards will expire as follows:

	Global Income & Currency (GCF)
Expiration:
December 31, 2016	$	3,232,706
December 31, 2017		2,772
Total	$	3,235,478

During the Funds' tax year ended December 31, 2011, the following Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:

				Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)
Utilized capital loss carryforwards				$	16,551,505

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of RICs. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

The Act also contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by fiscal year RICs during the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which RICs might be required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions.

Capital losses incurred that will be carried forward under the provisions of the Act are as follows:

	Global Income & Currency (GCF)		Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)		Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)
Post-enactment losses
Short-term	$	1,103,256	$	847,300		—
Long-term		359,871		719,108		—

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Funds have elected to defer losses incurred from November 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, the Funds' tax year end, in accordance with federal income tax rules. These losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Funds have elected to defer losses as follows:

	Global Income & Currency (GCF)		Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)		Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)
Post-October capital losses	$	8,992	$	326,116	$	16,429,898
Late-year ordinary losses		34,533		—		13,104,524

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 each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund's 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*	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

Nuveen Investments
48

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
$57 billion		.1989
$60 billion		.1961
$63 billion		.1931
$66 billion		.1900
$71 billion		.1851
$76 billion		.1806
$80 billion		.1773
$91 billion		.1691
$125 billion		.1599
$200 billion		.1505
$250 billion		.1469
$300 billion		.1445

* 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, 2011, the complex-level fee rate for these Funds was .1767%.

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 sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its directors/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 Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors/trustees that enables directors/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.

As a result of certain trading errors that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) was reimbursed $36,215 by the Adviser to offset losses realized on the disposal of investments in violation of investment guidelines.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements

On April 15, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-03 ("ASU No. 2011-03"). The guidance in ASU No. 2011-03 is intended to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other similar agreements. Specifically, ASU No. 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining when these transactions would be accounted for as financings (secured borrowings/lending agreements) as opposed to sales (purchases) with commitments to repurchase (resell). The effective date of ASU No. 2011-03 is for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

On May 12, 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS") 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for the transfers ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

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

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.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

NUVEEN MULTI-CURRENCY SHORT-TERM GOVERNMENT 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).

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.

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.

NUVEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT

Timothy Palmer, CFA, leads the global bond and emerging markets debt sector teams of Nuveen Asset Management.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented a number of potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below.

The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.

With respect to many of its clients’ accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.

Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the

investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.

Nuveen Asset Management has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION

Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash bonus and long term incentive payments.

Base pay. Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio manager’s general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.

Annual cash bonus. The Fund’s portfolio managers are eligible for an annual cash bonus based on investment performance, qualitative evaluation and financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management.

A portion of each portfolio manager’s annual cash bonus is based on the Fund’s investment performance, generally measured over the past one- and three or five-year periods unless the portfolio manager’s tenure is shorter. Investment performance for the Fund generally is determined by evaluating the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark(s) and/or Lipper industry peer group.

A portion of the cash bonus is based on a qualitative evaluation made by each portfolio manager’s supervisor taking into consideration a number of factors, including the portfolio manager’s team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with Nuveen Asset Management’s policies and procedures.

The final factor influencing a portfolio manager’s cash bonus is the financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management based on its operating earnings.

Long-term incentive compensation. Certain key employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, including certain portfolio managers, have received equity interests in the parent company of Nuveen Investments. In addition, certain key employees of Nuveen Asset Management, including certain portfolio managers, have received profits interests in Nuveen Asset Management which entitle their holders to participate in the firm’s growth over time.

There are generally no differences between the methods used to determine compensation with respect to the Fund and the Other Accounts shown in the table above.
