Chairman’s
Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Investors have many reasons to remain cautious. The challenges in the Euro area are casting a shadow over global economies and financial markets. The political support for addressing fiscal issues is eroding as the economic and social impacts become more visible. At the same time, member nations appear unwilling to provide adequate financial support or to surrender sufficient sovereignty to strengthen the banks or unify the Euro area financial system. The gains made in reducing deficits, and the hard-won progress on winning popular acceptance of the need for economic austerity, are at risk. To their credit, European political leaders press on to find compromise solutions, but there is increasing concern that time will begin to run out.
In the U.S., strong corporate earnings have enabled the equity markets to withstand much of the downward pressures coming from weakening job creation, slower economic growth and political uncertainty. The Fed remains committed to low interest rates but has refrained from predicting another program of quantitative easing unless economic growth were to weaken significantly or the threat of recession appears on the horizon. Pre-election maneuvering has added to the already highly partisan atmosphere in the Congress. The end of the Bush-era tax cuts and implementation of the spending restrictions of the Budget Control Act of 2011, both scheduled to take place at year-end, loom closer.
During the last year, U.S. based investors have experienced a sharp decline and a strong recovery in the equity markets. The experienced investment teams at Nuveen keep their eye on a longer time horizon and use their practiced investment disciplines to negotiate through market peaks and valleys to achieve long-term goals for investors. Experienced professionals pursue investments that will weather short-term volatility and at the same time, seek opportunities that are created by markets that overreact to negative developments. Monitoring this process is an important consideration for the Fund Board as it oversees your Nuveen funds on your behalf.
As always, I encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

Portfolio Managers’ Comments
Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NUV)
Nuveen Municipal Value Fund 2 (NUW)
Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NMI)
Nuveen Enhanced Municipal Value Fund (NEV)
Portfolio managers Tom Spalding, Chris Drahn, and Steve Hlavin review key investment strategies and the six-month performance of these four national Funds. With 35 years of investment experience at Nuveen, Tom has managed NUV since its inception in 1987, adding responsibility for NUW at its inception in 2009. Chris, who has 32 years of financial industry experience, assumed portfolio management responsibility for NMI in January 2011. A nine-year veteran of Nuveen, Steve has been involved in the management of NEV since its inception in 2009, taking on full portfolio management responsibility for the Fund in 2010.
What key strategies were used to manage these Funds during the six-month reporting period ended April 30, 2012?
During this period, municipal bond prices generally rallied, amid strong demand despite yields that continued to be relatively low. The availability of municipal supply improved in recent months from 2011 levels, although the pattern of new issuance remained light compared with long-term historical trends. In addition, approximately half of the new bonds issued during this period came from borrowers that were calling existing debt and refinancing at lower rates.
In this environment, we continued to take a bottom-up approach to discovering sectors that appeared undervalued as well as individual credits that had the potential to perform well over the long term. NUV and NUW found value in various areas of the market, including transportation (specifically tollroads and airports), tobacco and zero coupon bonds, and in individual issues such as Detroit water bonds and Michigan Building Authority credits. We also purchased several health care names, including Eisenhower Medical Center in California and Elmhurst Hospital in Illinois. Our focus in NUV during the earlier part of the period was generally on adding lower-rated credits with longer maturities. In November 2011, we purchased sub-investment grade bonds issued by American Airlines, as a Special Facilities Revenue Bond, which improved in price following the airline’s bankruptcy announcement in December 2011 and merger/acquisition reports. During the last half of this period, we shifted our emphasis to higher coupon

bonds offering intermediate maturities and shorter call dates in order to maintain income without increasing credit risk.
In NMI, our focus was on buying bonds in a diverse range of sectors in the mid-tier credit quality categories, that is, bonds rated AA, A and BBB. Although the pattern of issuance tended to be shorter on the yield curve during this period due to refunding activity, we generally continued to seek longer maturities in order to take advantage of attractive yields at the longer end of the municipal yield curve. In NEV, we continued to work to further enhance the Fund’s exposure to lower-rated credits. We accomplished this by selling, for example, selected higher rated charter school bonds and reinvesting the proceeds into new issues of lower rated charter schools. We also sold A rated bonds issued for Little Company of Mary Hospital and Health Centers and DePaul University in Illinois and replaced them with new sub-investment grade credits issued for two continuing care retirement centers. This selling did not reflect any changes in the credit fundamentals of the original holdings, but rather was part of our relative value strategy for NEV. Other than these sales, trading was relatively light in NEV, as we allowed the Fund to continue to harvest the value that we had positioned it to do with the trading of the prior six months.
In NUV, NUW and NMI, cash for new purchases during this period was generated primarily by the proceeds from called and maturing bonds, which we worked to redeploy to keep the Funds fully invested. The increased number of refinancings provided a meaningful source of liquidity, which we sometimes reinvested in the new credits issued to replace the refunded bonds as a way of maintaining our exposure to those borrowers. NUW also sold some longer bonds and reinvested the proceeds in bonds with shorter maturities as part of our efforts to reduce this Fund’s interest rate sensitivity, while NEV engaged in the selling described in the previous paragraph .
As of April 30, 2012, all of these Funds continued to use inverse floating rate securities. We employ inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement.
During this period, we trimmed NUW’s positions in inverse floating rate trusts to help shorten its duration, which exceeded our target range. As part of our duration management strategies, NEV also invested in forward interest rate swaps to reduce price volatility risk to movements in U.S. interest rates relative to the Fund’s benchmark. During this period, we found it more advantageous to control NEV’s duration with swaps rather than the sale of longer municipal bonds, due to the relatively greater decline in yields on longer municipal bonds. These derivatives remained in place at period end.
How did the Funds perform during the six-month period ended April 30, 2012?
Individual results for these Funds, as well as relevant index and peer group information, are presented in the accompanying table.

Funds Classification Average** | 10.74% | 23.04% | 6.00% | 6.68% |
For the six months ended April 30, 2012, the cumulative returns on net asset value (NAV) for these four Funds exceeded the return for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, NUV, NUW and NMI outperformed the average return for the Lipper General & Insured Unleveraged Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average and NEV exceeded the average return for the Lipper General & Insured Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds Classification Average.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns during this period included duration and yield curve positioning, credit exposure and sector allocation. The use of leverage also was an important positive factor affecting the performance of NEV. Leverage is discussed in more detail later in this report.
During this period, municipal bonds with longer maturities generally outperformed those with shorter maturities. Overall, credits at the longest end of the municipal yield curve posted the strongest returns, while bonds at the shortest end produced the weakest results. For this period, NEV was the most advantageously positioned in terms of duration and yield curve exposure, with the longest duration among these four Funds. NMI also was generally overweight in the longer parts of the yield curve that performed well, and NUV’s heavier holdings of zero coupon bonds with long durations, which outperformed during this period, provided an extra boost to its performance. While NUW benefited from having a duration longer than its target, during this period we worked to rein in the Fund’s duration to bring it more in line with its benchmark. Reducing NUW’s duration had a negative impact on its performance for this period, as the market continued to rally after our duration repositioning.

| |
*** | NEV is a leveraged Fund through investments in inverse floating rate securities, as discussed in more detail later in this report. The remaining three Funds in this report use inverse floating rate securities primarily for duration management and both income and total return enhancement. |
Although NEV benefited from its longer duration, the Fund used forward interest rate swaps with the primary objective of reducing duration and moderating interest rate risk, as previously mentioned. Because the interest rate swaps were used to hedge against a potential rise in interest rates, the swaps performed poorly as interest rates fell. This had a slightly negative impact on NEV’s total return performance for the period, which was offset by the strong performance of the Fund’s municipal bond holdings.
Credit exposure was another important factor in the Funds’ performance, as lower quality bonds generally outperformed higher quality bonds. This outperformance was due in part to the greater demand for lower rated bonds as investors looked for investment vehicles offering higher yields. As investors became more comfortable taking on additional investment risk, credit spreads or the difference in yield spreads between U.S. Treasury securities and comparable investments such as municipal bonds, narrowed through a variety of rating categories. As a result of this spread compression, the performance of these Funds was boosted by their exposures to the lower rated credit spectrum. All of these Funds were overweight in bonds rated BBB, with NMI having the heaviest exposure to this credit quality category. NEV also benefited from its significant overweight in non-rated and sub-investment grade credits.
Holdings that generally made positive contributions to the Funds’ returns during this period included health care (including hospitals), transportation and education credits. All of these Funds were overweight in health care bonds, which enhanced their returns, and NUV, NUW and NEV also had good weightings in the transportation sector. In addition, tobacco bonds backed by the 1998 master settlement agreement were one of the top performing market segments during this period, as these bonds benefited from several market developments, including increased demand for higher yielding investments by investors who had become less risk-averse. In addition, based on recent data showing that cigarette sales had fallen less steeply than anticipated, the 46 states participating in the agreement stand to receive increased payments from the tobacco companies. As of April 30, 2012, all four of these Funds held tobacco bonds in their portfolios.
In contrast, pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities, were the poorest performing market segment during this period. The underperformance of these bonds can be attributed primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. As of April 30, 2012, both NUV and NMI had heavier weightings in pre-refunded bonds, which detracted from their performance, while NUW and NEV had little to no exposure to these credits. General obligation (GO) bonds, utilities and housing credits also lagged the performance of the general municipal market for this period. Overall, these Funds were somewhat underweight in GOs, and NUV, NUW and NMI also had relatively light allocations to housing, which limited the impact of these sectors. Although NEV had reduced its exposure to single-family housing over this period, the Fund’s heavier weighting in this sector was modestly negative for its performance.
Fund Leverage and
Other Information
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of NEV, and less significantly NUV, NUW and NMI, relative to the comparative indexes was the use of leverage. NEV uses leverage because its managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose shareholders to additional volatility. For example, as the prices of securities held by the Fund decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes on net asset value and shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by the Fund generally are rising. Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of the Funds over this reporting period.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS
Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:
Investment and Market Risk. An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the municipal securities owned by the Fund, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Price Risk. Shares of closed-end investment companies like these Funds frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Leverage Risk. Each Fund’s use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund’s per share NAV, market price, distributions and returns. There is no assurance that a Fund’s leveraging strategy will be successful.
Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations.
Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund’s portfolio will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.
Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.
Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund’s portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.
Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing a Fund to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.
Inverse Floater Risk. The Funds may invest in inverse floaters. Due to their leveraged nature, these investments can greatly increase a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk and credit risk. In addition, investments in inverse floaters involve the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original principal investment.
Derivatives Risk. The funds may use derivative instruments which involve a high degree of financial risk, including the risk that the loss on a derivative may be greater than the principal amount investment.
Dividend and
Share Price Information
DIVIDEND INFORMATION
The monthly dividends of NUV, NMI and NEV remained stable throughout the six-month reporting period ended April 30, 2012, while the dividend of NUW was reduced effective December 2011 and March 2012.
Due to normal portfolio activity, shareholders of the following Funds received capital gains and/or net ordinary income distributions in December 2011 as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | | | Short-Term Capital Gains |
| Long-Term Capital Gains | and/or Ordinary Income |
Fund | | (per share | ) | (per share) |
NUV | | $ | 0.0542 | | $ | 0.0111 |
NEV | | | — | | $ | 0.0021 |
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund’s past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund’s NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of April 30, 2012, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.
SHARE REPURCHASES AND PRICE INFORMATION
Since the inception of the Funds’ repurchase programs, the Funds’ have not repurchased any of their outstanding shares.
As of April 30, 2012, and during the six-month reporting period, the Funds’ share prices were trading at (+)premiums and/or (-)discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying table.
| 4/30/12 | Six-Month Average |
Fund | (+)Premium/(-)Discount | (+)Premium |
NUV | (+)1.29% | (+)0.49% |
NUW | (-)1.11% | (+)1.99% |
NMI | (+)3.89% | (+)3.87% |
NEV | (+)0.92% | (+)0.75% |
SHELF EQUITY PROGRAM
NUV has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) authorizing the Fund to issue an additional 19.6 million shares, through a shelf offering. Under this equity shelf program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above each Fund’s NAV per share.
During the current reporting period, the Fund sold shares through its shelf equity programs at an average premium to NAV per share as shown in the accompanying table.
| | Weighted Average |
| Shares Sold through | Premium to NAV |
Fund | Shelf Offering | Per Share Sold |
NUV | 1,482,125 | .97% |
As of April 30, 2012, NUV had cumulatively sold 1,735,611 shares.

(a) | Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. Total Return Based on Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) symbols are Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NUV), Nuveen Municipal Value Fund 2 (NUW), Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NMI) and Nuveen Enhanced Municipal Value Fund (NEV) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end registered investment companies.
Each Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities or certain U.S. territories.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Valuation
Promissory Notes and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1 for fair value measurement purposes. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) are valued, except as indicated below, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as Level 2. Prices of municipal bonds and forward swap contracts are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. 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 Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”). 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.
Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from 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 segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At April 30, 2012, Municipal Value (NUV) and Municipal Income (NMI) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $10,523,073 and $1,090,630, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.
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 includes 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. Legal fee refund presented in the Statement of Operations reflects a refund of workout expenditures paid in a prior reporting period.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”). 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 income tax, 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.
Dividends and Distributions to 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 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.
Shelf Offering and Shelf Offering Costs
Municipal Value (NUV) has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) authorizing the Fund to issue an additional 19.6 million shares through its ongoing shelf offering, which became effective with the SEC on December 8, 2010. Under this equity shelf program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s net asset value per share.
During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund issued 1,482,125 shares, receiving offering proceeds, net of offering costs of $14,496,393. Initial costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the shelf offering of its shares are recorded as a deferred charge, which are amortized over the period such additional shares are sold not to exceed the one-year life of the shelf offering period. Ongoing shelf offering costs incurred by the Fund are expensed as incurred.
During the six months ended April 30, 2012, Nuveen Securities, LLC, the Fund’s distributor and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen, received commissions of $29,300, related to the sale of shares as a result of the Fund’s shelf offering.
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
| | Notes to |
| | Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued) |
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 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” on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended April 30, 2012, 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.
At April 30, 2012, each Fund’s maximum exposure to externally-deposited Recourse Trusts was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | Enhanced | |
| | | Municipal | | | Municipal | | | Municipal | | | Municipal | |
| | | Value (NUV | ) | | Value 2 (NUW | ) | | Income (NMI | ) | | Value (NEV | ) |
Maximum exposure to Recourse Trusts | | $ | 7,500,000 | | $ | 17,665,000 | | $ | 6,005,000 | | $ | 153,445,000 | |
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months ended April 30, 2012, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | Enhanced | |
| | | Municipal | | | Municipal | | | Municipal | |
| | | Value (NUV | ) | | Income (NMI | ) | | Value (NEV | ) |
Average floating rate obligations outstanding | | $ | 15,691,538 | | $ | 3,335,000 | | $ | 18,00,000 | |
Average annual interest rate and fees | | | .35 | % | | .32 | % | | .65 | % |
Forward Swap Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate swap contracts consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e. duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Each Fund’s use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve a Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond’s maturity). The value of a Fund’s swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the swap’s termination date increases or decreases. Forward interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward swaps” with the change during the reporting period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward swaps.”
Each Fund may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Net realized gains and losses during the reporting period are recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps.” Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination.
During the six months ended April 30, 2012, Enhanced Municipal Value (NEV) entered into forward interest rate swap contracts to reduce the duration of the Fund’s portfolio. The average notional amount of forward interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:
| | | | |
| | | Enhanced | |
| | | Municipal | |
| | | Value (NEV | ) |
Average notional amount of forward interest rate swap contracts outstanding* | | $ | 19,200,000 | |
* | The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. |
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
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. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and directors/trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
Level 2 – | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of April 30, 2012:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolios of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1 - General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.
The following table presents the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Funds as of April 30, 2012, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the primary underlying risk exposure. Enhanced Municipal Value (NEV) invested in derivative instruments during the six months ended April 30, 2012.

6. Income Tax Information
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in 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.
At April 30, 2012, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives, where applicable), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee consists of two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee for Municipal Value (NUV), payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Municipal Value (NUV) |
Average Daily Net Assets | Fund-Level Fee Rate | |
For the first $500 million | | | .1500 | % |
For the next $500 million | | | .1250 | |
For net assets over $1 billion | | | .1000 | |
In addition, Municipal Value (NUV) pays an annual management fee, payable monthly, based on gross interest income (excluding interest on bonds underlying a “self-deposited inverse floater” trust that is attributed to the Fund over and above the net interest earned on the inverse floater itself) as follows:
| | | | |
Municipal Value (NUV) |
Gross Interest Income | Gross Income Fee Rate |
For the first $50 million | | | 4.125 | % |
For the next $50 million | | | 4.000 | |
For gross income over $100 million | | | 3.875 | |
The annual fund-level fee for Municipal Value 2 (NUW), Municipal Income (NMI) and Enhanced Municipal Value (NEV), payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedules:
| | | | |
| Municipal Value 2 (NUW) |
Average Daily Managed Assets* | | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million | | | .4000 | % |
For the next $125 million | | | .3875 | |
For the next $250 million | | | .3750 | |
For the next $500 million | | | .3625 | |
For the next $1 billion | | | .3500 | |
For managed assets over $2 billion | | | .3375 | |
| | | | |
| Municipal Income (NMI) |
Average Daily Net Assets | | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million | | | .4500 | % |
For the next $125 million | | | .4375 | |
For the next $250 million | | | .4250 | |
For the next $500 million | | | .4125 | |
For the next $1 billion | | | .4000 | |
For the next $3 billion | | | .3875 | |
For net assets over $5 billion | | | .3750 | |
| | | | |
Enhanced Municipal Value (NEV) |
Average Daily Managed Assets* | | | Fund-Level Fee Rate |
For the first $125 million | | | .4500 | % |
For the next $125 million | | | .4375 | |
For the next $250 million | | | .4250 | |
For the next $500 million | | | .4125 | |
For the next $1 billion | | | .4000 | |
For managed assets over $2 billion | | | .3875 | |
The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level* | Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level |
$55 billion | .2000 | % |
$56 billion | .1996 | |
$57 billion | .1989 | |
$60 billion | .1961 | |
$63 billion | .1931 | |
$66 billion | .1900 | |
$71 billion | .1851 | |
$76 billion | .1806 | |
$80 billion | .1773 | |
$91 billion | .1691 | |
$125 billion | .1599 | |
$200 billion | .1505 | |
$250 billion | .1469 | |
$300 billion | .1445 | |
* | For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen Funds that constitute “eligible assets.” Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds 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 April 30, 2012, the complex-level fee rate for these Funds was .1724%. |
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund’s overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, (the “Sub-Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its directors/trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors/trustees that enables directors/trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
8. Borrowing Arrangements
As part of its investment strategy, Enhanced Municipal Value (NEV) may use borrowings to employ leverage. The Fund has entered into a $75 million (maximum commitment amount) committed 364-day unsecured line of credit (“Committed Unsecured Line”) with its custodian bank. Interest charged on the used portion of the Committed Unsecured Line is calculated at a rate per annum equal to the higher of the overnight Federal Funds rate or the overnight London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25%. In addition, the Fund accrues a commitment fee of .15% per annum on the unused portion of the Committed Unsecured Line.
Subsequent to the reporting period, the Fund entered into a new 364-day unsecured line of credit in the amount of $100,000,000. All other terms remain unchanged.
During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund did not utilize its Committed Unsecured Line.

9. New Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 (“ASU No. 2011-04”) modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, ASU No. 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for the transfers and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of the ASU No. 2011-04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
Reinvest Automatically,
Easily and Conveniently
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
Easy and convenient
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each 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 asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may
Reinvest Automatically
Easily and Conveniently (continued)
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. |

■ | Average Effective Maturity: The market-value-weighted average of the effective maturity dates of the individual securities including cash. In the case of a bond that has been advance-refunded to a call date, the effective maturity is the date on which the bond is scheduled to be redeemed using the proceeds of an escrow account. In most other cases the effective maturity is the stated maturity date of the security. |
| |
■ | Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a Fund’s effective economic leverage, and includes both regulatory 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. |
| |
■ | 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. |
Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report (continued)
■ | Leverage: Using borrowed money to invest in securities or other assets, seeking to increase the return of an investment or portfolio. |
| |
■ | Leverage-Adjusted 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. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund’s portfolio of bonds. |
| |
■ | Lipper General & Insured Leveraged 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 General & Insured Unleveraged 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. |
| |
■ | Market Yield (also known as Dividend Yield or Current Yield): An investment’s current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. |
| |
■ | Net Asset Value (NAV): The net market value of all securities held in a portfolio. |
| |
■ | Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: The market value of one share of a mutual fund or closed-end fund. For a Fund, the NAV is calculated daily by taking the Fund’s total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), subtracting the Fund’s liabilities, and dividing by the 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. |
| |
■ | Standard & Poor’s (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. |
■ | Taxable-Equivalent Yield: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment. |
| |
■ | Zero Coupon Bond: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt 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. |
