Item 8.01 Other Events
Effective January 1, 2013, as a result of certain changes in rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) applicable to registered investment companies, Nuveen Diversified Currency Opportunities Fund (NYSE: JGT) (the “Fund”) became subject to regulation by the CFTC as a commodity pool (such newly regulated registered investment companies being referred to hereinafter as “RIC Pools”). In connection with the amendments to its rules, the CFTC postponed compliance with its disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping regulations for RIC Pools until after the adoption of further rules intended to harmonize CFTC rules with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The CFTC adopted its harmonization rules in August 2013, which permit RIC Pools to claim certain relief from CFTC disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping regulations. Effective October 21, 2013, the Fund has claimed relief from certain CFTC reporting and recordkeeping regulations. In fulfillment of undertakings made in connection with claiming that relief, the Fund hereby provides investors with the following information:
| 1) | The Fund’s latest net asset value per share is publicly available at http://www.nuveen.com/cef/DailyPricing.aspx. |
