(a) | The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. |
(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 Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |

(a) | The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. |
(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 Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |

(a) | The amounts shown are based on common share equivalents. |
(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 Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. |
(c) | After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. As of March 31, 2012, the Adviser is no longer reimbursing Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2 (NVY) for any fees and expenses. |

The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified closed-end registered investment companies. Common shares of New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ), New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ), Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP) and Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY), are traded on the NYSE while common shares of New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ), New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2 (NUJ), New Jersey Municipal Value (NJV), Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage (NXM), Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2 (NVY) and Pennsylvania Municipal Value (NPN) are traded on the NYSE MKT. New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) and New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) were incorporated under the state laws of Minnesota on December 20, 1990 and August 19, 1992, respectively. New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ), New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2 (NUJ), New Jersey Municipal Value (NJV), Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP), Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY), Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage (NXM), Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2 (NVY) and Pennsylvania Municipal Value (NPN) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on June 1, 1999, April 19, 2001, January 26, 2009, December 20, 1990, February 9,1993, June 1, 1999, April 19, 2001 and January 26, 2009, respectively.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.
Investment Adviser
The Funds’ investment adviser is Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC, (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), a subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds.
Approved Fund Reorganizations
On May 22, 2013, the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees approved a series of reorganizations for certain of the Pennsylvania Funds included in this report. On November 20, 2013 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees approved a series of reorganizations for certain of the New Jersey Funds included in this report. Each reorganization is intended to create one, larger-state fund, which would potentially offer shareholders the following benefits:
| | |
| • | Lower fund expense ratios (excluding the effects of leverage), as fixed costs are spread over a larger asset base; |
| | |
| • | Enhanced secondary market trading, as larger funds potentially make it easier for investors to buy and sell fund shares; |
| • | Lower per share trading costs through reduced bid/ask spreads due to a larger common share float; and |
| | |
| • | Increased fund flexibility in managing the structure and cost of leverage over time. |
The approved reorganizations are as follows:
Acquired Funds | Acquiring Fund |
Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY) | Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP) |
Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage (NXM) | |
Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2 (NVY) | |
New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) | New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ) |
New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) | |
New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2 (NUJ)p | |
On December 17, 2013 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), the reorganizations for the Pennsylvania Funds were approved by shareholders. Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, the reorganizations are expected to close prior to the opening of the NYSE on January 13, 2014. The reorganizations for the New Jersey Funds are subject to customary conditions, including shareholder approval at annual shareholder meetings in mid-2014.
Upon the closing of the reorganizations, an Acquired Fund transfers its assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for common and preferred shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund. Each Acquired Fund is then liquidated, dissolved and terminated in accordance with its Declaration of Trust. Shareholders of each Acquired Fund become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund. Holders of common shares will receive newly issued common shares of their Acquiring Fund, the aggregate net asset value of which equal the aggregate net asset value of the common shares of the Acquired Fund held immediately prior to the reorganization (including for this purpose fractional Acquiring Fund shares to which shareholders would be entitled). Fractional shares are sold on the open market and shareholders receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares. Holders of preferred shares of each Acquired Fund will receive on a one-for-one basis newly issued preferred shares of their Acquiring Fund, in exchange for preferred shares of the Acquired Fund held immediately prior to the reorganization.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
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. 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 earmark securities in the Funds’ portfolios with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of October 31, 2013, the following Funds’ outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments were as follows:
| | Pennsylvania | | | Pennsylvania | | | Pennsylvania | | | Pennsylvania | | | Pennsylvania | |
| | Investment | | | Premium | | | Dividend | | | Dividend | | | Municipal | |
| | Quality | | | Income 2 | | | Advantage | | | Advantage 2 | | | Value | |
| | (NQP | ) | | (NPY | ) | | (NXM | ) | | (NVY | ) | | (NPN | ) |
Outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments | | $ | 601,138 | | | $ | 527,828 | | | $ | 151,506 | | | $ | 224,816 | | | $ | 73,310 | |
Investment Income
Investment income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders. Should a Fund receive a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period, such amounts will be recognized as “Legal fee refund” on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to common shareholders of net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, 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.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
Auction Rate Preferred Shares
Each Fund except New Jersey Municipal Value (NJV) and Pennsylvania Municipal Value (NPN) is authorized to issue Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). During prior fiscal periods, the Funds redeemed all of their outstanding ARPS, at liquidation value.
MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, with a $10 stated par value per share. Each Fund’s MTP Shares are issued in one Series and trade on the NYSE MKT. Dividends on MTP Shares, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, are paid monthly at a fixed annual rate, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances.
On September 9, 2013, New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ) redeemed all series of the Fund’s 2014 MTP Shares, at their $10.00 liquidation value per share plus dividend amounts owed. The Fund used the proceeds from its August 29, 2013 issuance of 450 Series 1 Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares to qualified buyers in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A of the securities Act of 1933 to redeem its 2014 MTP Shares.
As of October 31, 2013, the details of each Fund’s MTP Shares are as follows:
| | | | | | | Shares | | | | |
| | | | | | | Outstanding | | | | |
| | NYSE MKT | | Shares | | | at $10 Per Share | | | Annual | |
| Series | Ticker | | Outstanding | | | Liquidation Value | | | Interest Rate | |
New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2 (NUJ) | 2015 | NUJ PRC | | | 3,505,000 | | | $ | 35,050,000 | | | | 2.00 | % |

Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2 (NVY) | 2015 | NVY PRC | | | 2,455,000 | | | $ | 24,550,000 | | | | 2.15 | % |
Each Fund is obligated to redeem its MTP Shares by the date as specified in its offering document (“Term Redemption Date”), unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. MTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. MTP Shares were subject to redemption at the option of each Fund (“Optional Redemption Date”), subject to a payment of premium for one year following the Optional Redemption Date (“Premium Expiration Date”), and at par thereafter. MTP Shares also will be subject to redemption, at the option of each Fund, at par in the event of certain changes in the credit rating of the MTP Shares. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the MTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date, Optional Redemption Date and Premium Expiration Date for each Fund’s series of MTP Shares by NYSE MKT ticker symbol are as follows:
| | | NYSE MKT | | Term | | Optional | | Premium | |
| Series | | Ticker | | Redemption Date | | Redemption Date | | Expiration Date | |
New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2 (NUJ) | 2015 | | NUJ PRC | | November 1, 2015 | | November 1, 2011 | | October 31, 2012 | |

Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2 (NVY) | 2015 | | NVY PRC | | November 1, 2015 | | November 1, 2011 | | October 31, 2012 | |
The average liquidation value of MTP Shares outstanding for each Fund during the six months ended October 31, 2013, were as follows:
| | New Jersey | | | Pennsylvania | | | Pennsylvania | |
| | Dividend | | | Dividend | | | Dividend | |
| | Advantage 2 | | | Advantage | | | Advantage 2 | |
| | (NUJ | ) | | (NXM | ) | | (NVY | ) |
Average liquidation value of MTP Shares outstanding | | $ | 35,050,000 | | | $ | 23,190,000 | | | $ | 24,550,000 | |
For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of MTP Shares is recorded as a liability and recognized as “MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of MTP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as components of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In conjunction with New Jersey Dividend Advantage’s (NXJ) redemption of MTP Shares, the remaining deferred offering costs of $112,854 were fully expensed during the current fiscal period, as the redemption was deemed an extinguishment of debt.
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, with a $100,000 liquidation value per share. The Funds issued their VRDP Shares in privately negotiated offerings, which were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ), New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ), Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP) and Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY) exchanged all 1,443, 886, 1,125 and 1,000 shares of their outstanding Series 1 VRDP for 1,443, 886, 1,125 and 1,000 shares of Series 2 VRDP, respectively. Concurrent with these exchanges, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY) issued an additional 50 Series 2 VRDP Shares through a privately negotiated offering, which were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The Funds completed their exchange offers in which they refinanced their existing VRDP Shares with new VRDP Shares with a maturity date of April 1, 2043 for New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) and New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) and December 1, 2042 for Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP) and Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY).
During the current period, New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ) issued 450 Series 1 VRDP Shares through a private negotiated offering, which were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
As of October 31, 2013, the details for each Fund’s series VRDP Shares outstanding are as follows:
| | | | | | | | Shares | | |
| | | | | | | | Outstanding | | |
| | | | | Shares | | | at $100,000 Per Share | | |
| | Series | | | Outstanding | | | Liquidation Value | | Maturity |
New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) | | | 2 | | | | 1,443 | | | $ | 144,300,000 | | April 1, 2043 |
New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) | | | 2 | | | | 886 | | | $ | 88,600,000 | | April 1, 2043 |
New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ) | | | 1 | | | | 450 | | | $ | 45,000,000 | | August 3, 2043 |
Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP) | | | 2 | | | | 1,125 | | | $ | 112,500,000 | | December 1, 2042 |
Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 (NPY) | | | 2 | | | | 1,050 | | | $ | 105,000,000 | | December 1, 2042 |
VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom each Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. Each Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Each Fund pays an annual remarketing fee of .10% on the aggregate principal amount of all VRDP Shares outstanding. Each Fund’s VRDP Shares have successfully remarketed since issuance.
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketings for VRDP Shares are continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of each Fund. Each Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
The average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding and annualized dividend rate for each Fund during the six months ended October 31, 2013, were as follows:
| | New Jersey | | | New Jersey | | | New Jersey | | | Pennsylvania | | | Pennsylvania | |
| | Investment | | | Premium | | | Dividend | | | Investment | | | Premium | |
| | Quality | | | Income | | | Advantage | | | Quality | | | Income 2 | |
| | (NQJ | ) | | (NNJ | ) | | (NXJ | ) | | (NQP | ) | | (NPY | ) |
Average liquidation value of VRDP Shares outstanding | | $ | 144,300,000 | | | $ | 88,600,000 | | | $ | 45,000,000 | | | $ | 112,500,000 | | | $ | 101,808,219 | |
Annualized dividend rate | | | 0.17% | | | | 0.17% | | | | 0.17% | | | | 0.19% | | | | 0.19% | |
For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is a liability and is recognized as “Variable Rate Demand Preferred (VRDP) Shares, at liquidation value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable. Dividends paid on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of VRDP Shares were recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the life of the shares and are recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. New Jersey Dividend Advantage (NXJ) incurred $205,000 of offering costs in conjunction with its shares issued during the six months ended October 31, 2013. In addition to interest expense, each Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, as well as a remarketing fee, which are recognized as “Liquidity fees” and “Remarketing fees,” respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
New Jersey Investment Quality’s (NQJ), New Jersey Premium Income’s (NNJ), Pennsylvania Investment Quality’s (NQP) and Pennsylvania Premium Income 2’s (NPY) exchange of VRDP Shares was deemed a modification of debt. Offering costs of $260,000, $260,000, $385,000 and $385,000 were
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
incurred with New Jersey Investment Quality’s (NQJ), New Jersey Premium Income’s (NNJ), Pennsylvania Investment Quality’s (NQP) and Pennsylvania Premium Income 2’s (NPY) issuance of Series 2 VRDP Shares, respectively, which were fully expensed during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013.
Common Shares Equity Shelf Programs and Offering Costs
New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) and New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) have each filed registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing each Fund to issue additional common shares through its equity shelf program (“Shelf Offering”).
Under the Shelf Offerings, the Funds, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per common share.
Authorized common shares, common shares issued and offering proceeds, net of offering costs under each Fund's Shelf Offering for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013 were as follows:
| | New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) | | | New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) | |
| | Six Months | | | | | | Six Months | | | | |
| | Ended | | | Year Ended | | | Ended | | | Year Ended | |
| | 10/31/13 | | | 4/30/13 | | | 10/31/13 | | | 4/30/13 | |
Authorized common shares | | | 2,000,000 | * | | | — | | | | 1,200,000 | * | | | — | |
Common shares issued | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Offering proceeds, net of offering costs | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
* | Shelf offering declared effective by the SEC during the current reporting period. |
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their Shelf Offerings are recorded as a deferred charge and recognized as a component of “Deferred offering costs” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These deferred charges are recognized over the period such additional shares are sold by reducing the proceeds from the Shelf Offering. These deferred charges are not to exceed the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period and are recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. At the end of the one-year life of the Shelf Offering period, any remaining deferred charges will be expensed accordingly and recognized as a component of “Other expenses” on the Statement of Operations. Any additional costs in connection with the Funds’ Shelf Offerings are recorded as a reduction from the proceeds of the Shelf Offerings and recognized as a component of “Proceeds from shelf offering, net of offering costs” on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
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.
Netting Agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds have entered into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of October 31, 2013, the Funds were not invested in any portfolio securities or derivative instruments that are subject to netting agreements.
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 applicable to common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation
Prices of municipal bonds and other fixed income securities are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. 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.
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 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.
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 following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
| | |
| Level 1 – | Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| | |
| Level 2 – | Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| | |
| Level 3 – | Prices are determined using 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 risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds’ pricing policies and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making a fair value determination, based on the facts and circumstances specific to the portfolio instrument. Fair value determinations generally will be derived as follows, using public or private market information:
| | |
| (i) | If available, fair value determinations shall be derived by extrapolating from recent transactions or quoted prices for identical or comparable securities. |
| | |
| (ii) | If such information is not available, an analytical valuation methodology may be used based on other available information including, but not limited to: analyst appraisals, research reports, corporate action information, issuer financial statements and shelf registration statements. Such analytical valuation methodologies may include, but are not limited to: multiple of earnings, discount from market value of a similar freely-traded security, discounted cash flow analysis, book value or a multiple thereof, risk premium/yield analysis, yield to maturity and/or fundamental investment analysis. |
The purchase price of a portfolio instrument will be used to fair value the instrument only if no other valuation methodology is available or deemed appropriate, and it is determined that the purchase price fairly reflects the instrument’s current value.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.
3. Portfolio Securities and Investments in Derivatives
Portfolio Securities
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust, at their liquidation value, as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended October 31, 2013, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
As of October 31, 2013, each Fund’s maximum exposure to the floating rate obligations issued by externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:

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.
Investments in Derivatives
Each Fund is authorized to invest in certain derivative instruments, such as futures, options and swap contracts. Each Fund will limit its investments in futures, options on futures and swap contracts to the extent necessary for the Adviser to claim exclusion from registration by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a commodity pool operator with respect to the Fund. 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. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in derivative instruments and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the six months ended October 31, 2013.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
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.

6. Income Tax Information
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
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.
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 recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. 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.
As of October 31, 2013, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
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 respective 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 schedules:
| | | New Jersey Investment Quality (NQJ) |
| | | New Jersey Premium Income (NNJ) |
| | | Pennsylvania Investment Quality (NQP) |

* | For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to certain types of leverage. For these purposes, 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 or 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 October 31, 2013, the complex-level fee rate for each of these Funds was .1683%. |
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.
Annual Investment Management |
| Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) |
The Board of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each, a “Board” and each Trustee or Director, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including the Board Members who are not parties to the Funds’ advisory or sub-advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any such parties (the “Independent Board Members”), is responsible for approving the advisory agreements (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) between each Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) (the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to collectively as the “Advisory Agreements”) and their periodic continuation. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on an annual basis. Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on May 20-22, 2013 (the “May Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for the Funds for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for its considerations at the May Meeting, the Board requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Funds, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are collectively, the “Fund Advisers” and each, a “Fund Adviser”). As described in more detail below, the information provided included, among other things, a review of Fund performance, including Fund investment performance assessments against peer groups and appropriate benchmarks; a comparison of Fund fees and expenses relative to peers; a description and assessment of shareholder service levels for the Funds; a summary of the performance of certain service providers; a review of product initiatives and shareholder communications; and an analysis of the Adviser’s profitability with comparisons to comparable peers in the managed fund business. As part of its annual review, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 17-18, 2013, to review the Funds’ investment performance and consider an analysis provided by the Adviser of the Sub-Adviser which generally evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, investment mandate, organizational structure and history, investment philosophy and process, performance of the applicable Fund, and significant changes to the foregoing. As a result of its review of the materials and discussions, the Board presented the Adviser with questions and the Adviser responded.
The materials and information prepared in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreements supplement the information and analysis provided to the Board during the year. In this regard, throughout the year, the Board, acting directly or through its committees, regularly reviews the performance and various services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board meets at least quarterly as well as at other times as the need arises. At its quarterly meetings, the Board reviews reports by the Adviser regarding, among other things, fund performance, fund expenses, premium and discount levels of closed-end funds, the performance of the investment teams, and compliance, regulatory and risk management matters. In addition to regular reports, the Adviser provides special reports to the Board or a committee thereof from time to time to enhance the Board’s understanding of various topics that impact some or all the Nuveen funds (such as accounting and financial statement presentations of the various forms of leverage that may be used by a closed-end fund or an update on the valuation policies and procedures), to update the Board on regulatory developments impacting the investment company industry or to update the Board on the business plans or other matters impacting the Adviser. The Board also meets with key investment personnel managing the fund portfolios during the year. In October 2011, the Board also created two standing committees (the
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
Open-End Fund Committee and the Closed-End Fund Committee) to assist the full Board in monitoring and gaining a deeper insight into the distinctive business practices of open-end and closed-end funds. These Committees meet prior to each quarterly Board meeting, and the Adviser provides presentations to these Committees permitting them to delve further into specific matters or initiatives impacting the respective product line.
In addition, the Board continues its program of seeking to have the Board Members or a subset thereof visit each sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members visited certain of the Sub-Adviser’s investment teams in Minneapolis in September 2012, and the Sub-Adviser’s municipal team in November 2012. In addition, the ad hoc Securities Lending Committee of the Board met with certain service providers and the Audit Committee of the Board made a site visit to three pricing service providers.
The Board considers the information provided and knowledge gained at these meetings and visits during the year when performing its annual review of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members also are assisted throughout the process by independent legal counsel. Counsel provided materials describing applicable law and the duties of directors or trustees in reviewing advisory contracts. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the review of advisory contracts, the Independent Board Members met with independent legal counsel in executive sessions without management present. In addition, it is important to recognize that the management arrangements for the Nuveen funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Board Members and fund management and that the Board Members’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of fee arrangements and other factors developed in previous years.
The Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, (b) the investment performance of the Fund and Fund Advisers, (c) the advisory fees and costs of the services to be provided to the Fund and the profitability of the Fund Advisers, (d) the extent of any economies of scale, (e) any benefits derived by the Fund Advisers from the relationship with the Fund and (f) other factors. 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 the resulting Fund performance and administrative services. The Independent Board Members further considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the capability and integrity of the Adviser and its staff and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions and concerns raised by them. 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 to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any applicable initiatives Nuveen had taken for the closed-end fund product line.
In considering advisory services, the Board recognized that the Adviser provides various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services for the Funds and the Sub-Adviser generally provides the portfolio investment management services to the Funds. In reviewing the portfolio management services provided to each Fund, the Board reviewed the materials provided by the Nuveen Investment Services Oversight Team analyzing, among other things, the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and changes thereto, organization and history, assets under management, the investment team’s philosophy and strategies in managing the Fund, developments affecting the Sub-Adviser or Fund and Fund performance. The Independent Board Members also reviewed portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate each Fund Adviser’s ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an inappropriate incentive to take undue risks. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser’s execution of its oversight responsibilities over the Sub-Adviser. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen’s compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures; the resources dedicated to compliance; and the record of compliance with the policies and procedures. Given the Adviser’s emphasis on business risk, the Board also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep the Board apprised of developments in this area during the year.
In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality and extent of administrative and other non-investment advisory services the Adviser and its affiliates provide to the Funds, including product management, investment services (such as oversight of investment policies and procedures, risk management, and pricing), fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services and communications, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance, legal support, managing leverage and promoting an orderly secondary market for common shares. The Board further recognized Nuveen’s additional investments in personnel, including in compliance and risk management.
In reviewing the services provided, the Board considered the new services and service enhancements that the Adviser has implemented since the various advisory agreements were last reviewed. In reviewing the activities of 2012, the Board recognized the Adviser’s focus on product rationalization for both closed-end and open-end funds during the year, consolidating certain Nuveen funds through mergers that were designed to improve efficiencies and economies of scale for shareholders, repositioning various Nuveen funds through updates in their investment policies and guidelines with the expectation of bringing greater value to shareholders, and liquidating certain Nuveen funds. The Board recognized the Adviser’s significant investment in technology initiatives to, among other things, create a central repository for fund and other Nuveen product data, develop a group within the Adviser designed to handle and analyze fund performance data, and implement a data system to support the risk oversight group. The Board also recognized the enhancements in the valuation group within the Adviser, including upgrading the team and process and automating certain basic systems, and in the compliance group with the addition of personnel, particularly within the testing group. With the advent of the Open-End Fund Committee and Closed-End Fund Committee, the Board also noted the enhanced support and comprehensive in-depth presentations provided by the Adviser to these committees.
In addition to the foregoing actions, the Board also considered other initiatives related to the Nuveen closed-end funds, including the significant level of oversight and administration necessary to manage leverage that has become increasingly varied and complex and the ongoing redesign of technology systems to manage and track the various forms of leverage; continued capital management services, including developing shelf offering programs for various funds; the implementation of projects designed to enhance data integrity for information published on the web and to increase the use of data received from third parties to gain market intelligence; and the continued communication efforts with shareholders, fund analysts and financial advisers. With respect to the latter, the Independent Board Members noted Nuveen’s continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
closed-end funds through a comprehensive secondary market communication program and campaigns designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. Nuveen’s support services included, among other things: developing materials covering the Nuveen closed-end fund product line and educational materials regarding closed-end funds; designing and executing various marketing campaigns; supporting and promoting the alternative minimum tax (AMT)-free funds; sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating with closed-end fund analysts and financial advisers throughout the year; providing marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and enhancing a closed-end fund website.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers
The Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the performance history of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed reports, including an analysis of the Funds’ performance and the applicable investment team. In general, in considering a fund’s performance, the Board recognized that a fund’s performance can be reviewed through various measures including the fund’s absolute return, the fund’s return compared to the performance of other peer funds, and the fund’s performance compared to its respective benchmark. Accordingly, 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”) and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks (i.e., generally benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks) for the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2012 as well as performance information reflecting the first quarter of 2013 (or for such shorter periods available for the Funds which did not exist for part of the foregoing time frame). In addition, with respect to closed-end funds (such as the Funds), the Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and discount levels, including a summary of actions taken to address or discuss other developments affecting the secondary market discounts of various funds. This information supplemented the fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
In evaluating performance, the Board recognized several factors that may impact the performance data as well as the consideration given to particular performance data. The Board recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot of time, in this case as of the end of the most recent calendar year or quarter. The Board noted that selecting a different performance period could derive significantly different results. Further, the Board recognized that it is possible that long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme has the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance. The Independent Board Members also noted that the investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Nuveen funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable fund, the class held (if multiple classes are offered in a fund) and the performance of the fund (or respective class) during that shareholder’s investment period.
With respect to the comparative performance information, the Board recognized that the usefulness of comparative performance data as a frame of reference to measure a fund’s performance may be limited because the Performance Peer Group, among other things, does not adequately reflect the objectives and strategies of the fund, has a different investable universe, or the composition of the peer set may be limited in size or number as well as other factors. In this regard, the Board noted that the Adviser classified, in relevant part, the Performance Peer Groups of certain funds (including the Nuveen New Jersey Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (the “NJ Dividend Advantage Fund”), the Nuveen New Jersey Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (the “NJ Dividend Advantage Fund 2”), the Nuveen Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (the “NJ Investment Quality Fund”), the Nuveen New Jersey Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (the “NJ Premium Income Fund”), the Nuveen Pennsylvania Investment Quality Municipal Fund
(the “Pennsylvania Investment Quality Fund”), the Nuveen Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (the “Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Fund”), the Nuveen Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (the “Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Fund 2”) and the Nuveen Pennsylvania Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 (the “Pennsylvania Premium Income Fund 2”)) as having significant differences from the funds but to still be somewhat relevant while the Performance Peer Groups of other funds (including the Nuveen New Jersey Municipal Value Fund (the “NJ Municipal Value Fund”) and the Nuveen Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund (the “Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund”)) were classified as having such significant differences as to be irrelevant. Accordingly, while the Board is cognizant of the relative performance of a fund’s peer set and/or benchmark(s), the Board evaluated fund performance in light of the respective fund’s investment objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and considered that the variations between the objectives and investment parameters or guidelines of the funds with their peers and/or benchmarks result in differences in performance results. In addition, with respect to any Nuveen funds for which the Board has identified performance concerns, the Board monitors such funds closely until performance improves, discusses with the Adviser the reasons for such results, considers those steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues, and reviews the results of any efforts undertaken.
In considering the performance data for the Funds, the Independent Board Members observed that the Pennsylvania Investment Quality Fund demonstrated generally favorable performance in comparison to peers, performing in the first or second quartile over various periods and that such Fund also outperformed its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods. In addition, the Independent Board Members observed that the NJ Dividend Advantage Fund, the NJ Investment Quality Fund, the Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Fund and the Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Fund 2 had satisfactory performance in comparison to peers, performing in the second or third quartile over various periods and that such Funds also outperformed their respective benchmarks for the one-, three- and five-year periods. They observed that the Pennsylvania Premium Income Fund 2 also had satisfactory performance in comparison to peers, and that although such Fund was in the fourth quartile for the one-year period, it was in the second quartile for the three- and five-year periods and outperformed its benchmark for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Independent Board Members noted that NJ Dividend Advantage Fund 2 and the NJ Premium Income Fund appeared to lag their peers over various periods, with the NJ Dividend Advantage Fund 2 performing in the fourth quartile over the one-year period, the second quartile over the three-year period and the third quartile over the five-year period, and the NJ Premium Income Fund performing in the fourth quartile over the one-year period and the third quartile over the three- and five-year periods; however, as indicated above, the Performance Peer Groups of these Funds, although still classified as somewhat relevant, had significant differences from such Funds limiting the usefulness of the peer comparisons and, in addition, such Funds outperformed their respective benchmarks over the one-, three- and five-year periods. In considering the performance data for the Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund and the NJ Municipal Value Fund, given that, as noted above, the Performance Peer Group of each such Fund was classified as irrelevant, thereby limiting the usefulness of the peer comparison data, the Board also considered such Funds’ performance compared to their respective benchmarks. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that the Pennsylvania Municipal Value Fund and the NJ Municipal Value Fund outperformed their respective benchmarks over the one- and three-year periods.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s investment performance had been satisfactory.

C. | Fees, Expenses and Profitability |
| |
| |
| 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 ratio in absolute terms as well as compared to the fees and expenses of a comparable universe of funds provided by an independent fund data provider (the “Peer Universe”) and any expense limitations. |
| |
| The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe. 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 limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe (including the inclusion of other Nuveen funds in the peer set); expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe from year to year; levels of reimbursement or fee waivers; the timing of information used; the differences in the type and use of leverage; and differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting somewhat 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. In reviewing fees and expenses (excluding leverage costs and leveraged assets, as applicable), the Board considered the expenses and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were approximately 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Universe. In reviewing the reports, the Board noted that the majority of the Nuveen funds were at, close to or below their peer set average based on the net total expense ratio. |
| |
| The Independent Board Members noted that the Funds other than the NJ Dividend Advantage Fund 2 and the Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Fund had net management fees and net expense ratios (including fee waivers and expense reimbursements) that were below or in line with their respective peer averages. The Independent Board Members observed that the NJ Dividend Advantage Fund 2 and the Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage Fund each had a net expense ratio that was slightly higher than its respective peer average, but a net management fee that was in line with its respective peer average. |
| Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s management fees to a Fund Adviser 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 Board recognized that all Nuveen funds have a sub-adviser (which, in the case of the Funds, is an affiliated sub-adviser), and therefore, the overall fund management fee can be divided into two components, the fee retained by the Adviser and the fee paid to the sub-adviser. In general terms, the fee to the Adviser reflects the administrative services it provides to support the funds, and while some administrative services may occur at the sub-adviser level, the fee generally reflects the portfolio management services provided by the sub-adviser. The Independent Board Members reviewed information regarding the nature of services provided by the Adviser, including through the Sub-Adviser, and the range of fees and average fee the Sub-Adviser assessed for such services to other clients. Such other clients include municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed exchange traded funds (ETFs) sub-advised by the Adviser. 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. Many of the additional administrative services provided by the Adviser are not required for institutional clients. Given the inherent differences in the various products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees. |
| |
| 3. Profitability of Fund Advisers |
| In conjunction with their review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last two calendar 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 2012. 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 have an Independent Board Member serve 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 comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition). |

| In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the Adviser’s continued investment in its business to enhance its services, including capital improvements to investment technology, updated compliance systems, and additional personnel. In addition, in evaluating profitability, the Independent Board Members also recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses and that various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable but yield different results. 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. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the Adviser’s level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided. |
| |
| With respect to sub-advisers affiliated with Nuveen, including the Sub-Adviser, the Independent Board Members reviewed the sub-adviser’s revenues, expenses and profitability margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities and the methodology used for allocating expenses among the internal sub-advisers. 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 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 |
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
| |
| the Funds. 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 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. In addition, with the acquisition of the funds previously advised by FAF Advisors, Inc. at the end of 2010, the Board noted that a portion of such funds’ assets at the time of acquisition were deemed eligible to be included in the complex-wide fee calculation in order to deliver fee savings to shareholders in the combined complex and such funds were subject to differing complex-level fee rates.
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 the Adviser for serving as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds as well as revenues received in connection with secondary offerings.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Fund Advisers 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. The Funds’ portfolio transactions are determined by the Sub-Adviser. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered that the Sub-Adviser may benefit from its soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which it receives research from brokers that execute the Funds’ portfolio transactions. With respect to fixed income securities, however, the Board recognized that such securities generally trade on a principal basis that does not generate soft dollar credits. Nevertheless, the Sub-Adviser may also engage in soft dollar arrangements on behalf of other clients, and the Funds as well as the Sub-Adviser may benefit from the research or other services received. Similarly, the Board recognized that
the research received pursuant to soft dollar arrangements by the Sub-Adviser may also benefit a Fund and shareholders to the extent the research enhances the ability of the Sub-Adviser to manage the Fund. The Independent Board Members noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability may be somewhat lower if it did not receive the research services pursuant to the soft dollar arrangements and had to acquire such services directly.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. Other Considerations
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement 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 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
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 month 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 as -set 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 imme -diately 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 investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
■ | Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction. |
| |
■ | 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. |
| |
■ | Duration: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond’s principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond’s or bond Fund’s value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond’s or Fund’s duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change. |
| |
■ | Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory leverage (See Leverage) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the Fund’s portfolio. Currently, the leverage effects of Tender Option Bond (TOB) inverse floater holdings are included in effective leverage values, in addition to any regulatory leverage. |
| |
■ | Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports. |
| |
■ | Inverse Floating Rate Securities: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse floaters or tender option bonds (TOBs), are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis. |
| |
■ | Leverage: Leverage is created whenever a fund has investment exposure (both reward and/or risk) equivalent to more than 100% of the investment capital. |
| |
■ | Lipper New Jersey Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. |

■ | Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average: Calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category. Lipper returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. |
| |
■ | Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: A fund’s Net Assets is equal to its total assets (securities, cash, accrued earnings and receivables) less its total liabilities. NAV per share is equal to the fund’s Net Assets divided by its number of shares outstanding. |
| |
■ | Pre-Refunding: Pre-Refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value. |
| |
■ | Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory Leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund’s capital structure. Regulatory leverage is sometimes referred to as “‘40 Act Leverage” and is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond New Jersey Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade New Jersey municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | S&P Municipal Bond Pennsylvania Index: An unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Pennsylvania municipal bond market. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees. |
| |
■ | Total Investment Exposure: Total investment exposure is a Fund’s assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes a Fund’s use of preferred stock and borrowings and 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. |
| |
■ | Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Income to the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds that pay interest periodically. |
