NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS PRODUCT UPDATE
FEBRUARY 2012
|
Nuveen California Municipal Closed-End Fund Merger
As a valued business partner, we want to update you on an important Nuveen closed-end fund product initiative.
On November 15, 2011, the Board for Nuveen closed-end funds approved changes to four insured California municipal bond funds’ investment policies as well as the merger of the funds.
In the near future, your clients in the affected funds will be receiving proxy materials. In advance of this, we hope the summary of each initiative along withthis link to the proxy materials will help you address any questions regarding these proposals.
The shareholder vote will be held at the Funds’ annual meeting, which is scheduled for February 24, 2012.
The funds have engaged a proxy solicitation firm— Computershare Fund Services—to assist in soliciting the necessary votes in a timely manner. If enough shareholders do not cast their votes, a fund may not be able to hold its meeting and will be required to incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain sufficient shareholder participation. To reduce expense, and minimize phone calls to shareholders from the proxy solicitor, please urge your clients to vote as soon as possible.
THE PROPOSALS PROVIDE THAT:
| • | Each fund will eliminate its existing fundamental investment policy that requires it, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 80 percent of its managed assets in insured municipal securities. |
| • | Each fund will adopt a new fundamental investment policy that continues its policy of investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80 percent of its managed assets in municipal securities that pay interest exempt from federal and California income tax, with the Acquiring Fund also continuing its policy of investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in AMT-free municipal securities. |
| • | Each fund will invest at least 80 percent of its managed assets in investment grade quality municipal securities. |
| • | Each fund will eliminate its existing fundamental policy with respect to restrictions on making loans and adopt a new fundamental policy that would permit it to make loans to the extent permitted by securities laws. |
The funds will merge as outlined in the table on page 2.
