JOINT PROXY STATEMENT
October 27, 1995
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
by the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees, as the case may be, (each a
"Board" and each director or trustee a "Board Member") of each of Nuveen
Florida Investment Quality Municipal Fund ("Florida Investment"), Nuveen
Florida Quality Income Municipal Fund ("Florida Quality"), Nuveen Insured
Florida Premium Income Municipal Fund ("Insured Florida"), Nuveen Pennsylvania
Investment Quality Municipal Fund ("Pennsylvania Investment"), Nuveen
Pennsylvania Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 ("Pennsylvania Premium"), Nuveen
New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. ("New Jersey Investment")
and Nuveen New Jersey Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("New Jersey
Premium") (individually, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies
to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund to be held on
December 14, 1995 (for each Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and, collectively, the
"Annual Meetings"), and at any and all adjournments thereof. The cost of
preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and
proxy statement, and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of
proxies, will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number of shareholder
accounts. Additional solicitation may be made by letter, telephone or telegraph
by officers of each Fund, by officers or employees of John Nuveen & Co.
Incorporated or Nuveen Advisory Corp., or by dealers and their representatives.
The Funds have engaged Tritech Services to assist in the solicitation of
proxies at a total estimated cost of $ . EACH FUND WILL FURNISH, WITHOUT
CHARGE, A COPY OF ITS JUNE 30, 1995 ANNUAL REPORT UPON REQUEST. SUCH WRITTEN OR
ORAL REQUEST SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO SUCH FUND AT 333 WEST WACKER DRIVE, CHICAGO,
ILLINOIS 60606 OR BY CALLING 1-800-257-8787.
On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice
has been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of
that Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares
of
1
each Fund will be voted FOR the election of the four Board nominees to be
elected by all shareholders and the two Board nominees to be elected by holders
of Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred ("MuniPreferred(R)"), as listed
in this Joint Proxy Statement, and FOR ratification of the selection of Ernst &
Young LLP as each Fund's independent auditors. Shareholders of any Fund who
execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing
with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed
proxy bearing a later date, or by attending that Annual Meeting and voting in
person.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy
Statement for each Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund
and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted
on by the shareholders. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each
proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on a proposal by the shareholders
of one Fund will not affect the vote on the proposal by the shareholders of
another Fund. For convenience, the common shares or common stock, as the case
may be, of each Fund shall be referred to in this Joint Proxy Statement as
Common Shares.
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect
to each matter:

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual
Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at
that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member
nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred, 33 1/3% of the
MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy
will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual
Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that
Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a
quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat
abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees,
typically in "street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received
from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or
nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as
present for purposes of determining a quorum.
2
For purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote
of the shareholders of each Fund other than New Jersey Investment and New
Jersey Premium, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the
election of Board Members (the six nominees receiving the largest number of
votes will be elected) and will be treated as shares voted against ratification
of the selection of independent auditors. For purposes of determining the
approval of the matters submitted for a vote of the shareholders of New Jersey
Investment and New Jersey Premium, abstentions and broker non-votes will be
treated as shares voted against the election of Board Members and against
ratification of the selection of independent auditors. The details of each
proposal to be voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required
for approval of each proposal are set forth under the description of each
proposal below.
As of October 16, 1995, there were issued and outstanding: Common
Shares and 2,200 shares of each series of MuniPreferred, Series T and F of
Florida Investment; Common Shares and 1,700 shares of each series of
MuniPreferred, Series M and TH and 800 shares of MuniPreferred, Series F of
Florida Quality; Common Shares and 1,640 shares of MuniPreferred, Series W
and 2,800 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of Insured Florida;
Common Shares and 2,400 shares of MuniPreferred, Series W and 2,000 shares of
MuniPreferred, Series TH of Pennsylvania Investment; Common Shares

Series TH and 1,800 shares of MuniPreferred, Series F of Pennsylvania Premium;
Common Shares and 3,200 shares of MuniPreferred, Series M and 2,000
shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of New Jersey Investment; and Common
Shares, and 624 shares of MuniPreferred, Series T, 1,440 shares of
MuniPreferred, Series W and 1,600 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of New
Jersey Premium. Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of
business on October 16, 1995 will be entitled to one vote for each share held.
This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds
on or about October 27, 1995.
1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH FUND
At each Fund's Annual Meeting, six (6) Board Members are to be elected to
serve until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors shall have been
duly elected and qualified. Under the terms of each Fund's organizational
documents, under normal circumstances holders of MuniPreferred are entitled to
elect two (2) Board Members, and the remaining Board Members are to be elected
by holders of Common Shares and MuniPreferred, voting together as a single
class. The members of the Board and the nominees for election to the Board are
the same for each Fund. Table I below shows the nominated Board Members of each
Fund to be elected by holders of Common Shares and MuniPreferred, voting
together as a single class. Table II below shows the nominated Board Members of
each Fund to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred only. The affirmative vote
of
3
a plurality of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of
each Fund (except New Jersey Investment and New Jersey Premium) will be
required to elect the Board Members of that Fund. For New Jersey Investment and
New Jersey Premium, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present
and entitled to vote at each Fund's Annual Meeting will be required to elect
the Board Members of that Fund.
It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless
the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a
Board Member of each Fund if elected; however, should any nominee become unable
or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the proxies for each Fund will
be voted for one or more substitute nominees designated by that Fund's present
Board.
Tables I and II below show each nominee's age, principal occupations and
other business affiliations, the year in which each nominee was first elected
or appointed a Board Member of each Fund and the number of common shares of the
Funds and of all Nuveen funds (excluding money market funds) that each nominee
beneficially owned as of October 1, 1995. All of the nominees were last elected
to each Board at the 1994 annual meeting of shareholders.
The Board Members mourn the recent passing of John E. O'Toole, a Board Member
since each Fund's organization. There is currently a vacancy on the Board of
each Fund. The Funds' nominating committees are considering candidates for the
vacancy.

EACH FUND'S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
ELECTION OF THE NOMINATED BOARD MEMBERS.
The Board Members affiliated with John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated ("Nuveen")
or Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") serve without any compensation from
the Funds. Board Members who are not affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser
receive a $45,000 annual retainer for serving as a director or trustee, as the
case may be, of all funds sponsored by Nuveen and managed by the Adviser and a
$1,000 fee per day plus expenses for attendance at all meetings held on a day
on which a regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per day plus
expenses for attendance in person or a $500 fee per day plus expenses for
attendance by telephone at a meeting held on a day on which no regular Board
meeting is held, and a $250 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person
or by telephone at a meeting of the executive committee. The annual retainer,
fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser on the
basis of relative net asset sizes. Each Fund has adopted a Directors' Deferred
Compensation Plan pursuant to which a Board Member of that Fund may elect to
have all or a portion of the Board Member's fee deferred. Board Members may
defer fees for any calendar year by the execution of a Participation Agreement
prior to the beginning of the calendar year during which the Board Member
wishes to begin deferral.
6
The tables below show, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with
Nuveen or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation paid by each Fund for its
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 and the total compensation that Nuveen funds
accrued for each Board Member during the calendar year 1994, including any
interest accrued for Board Members on deferred compensation. The rate of
earnings on deferred compensation is equivalent to the average net earnings
rate, computed on a quarterly basis, on the shares of such Nuveen fund.

On October 1, 1995, Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a
group beneficially owned common shares of all funds managed by the
Adviser (excluding money market funds) and as a group did not beneficially own
any Common Shares or shares of MuniPreferred of any Fund. As of October 1,
1995, no person is known to the Funds to have owned beneficially more than five
percent of the Common Shares or MuniPreferred of any Fund.
Section 30(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
require each Fund's officers and Board Members, investment adviser, affiliated
persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than ten percent of
9
a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms reporting
their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes in
ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and entities are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund,
each Fund believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to that Fund's officers and Board Members,
investment adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser were
complied with.
2. SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The members of each Fund's Board who are not "interested persons" of that
Fund have unanimously selected Ernst & Young LLP, independent public
accountants, as independent auditors, to audit the books and records of that
Fund for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996. Ernst & Young LLP has served
each Fund in this capacity since that Fund was organized and has no direct or
indirect financial interest in that Fund except as independent auditors. The
selection of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors of each Fund is being
submitted to the shareholders for ratification, which requires the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares of each Fund present and entitled to vote on
the matter. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at
the Annual Meetings and will be available to respond to any appropriate
questions raised at the Annual Meetings and to make a statement if he or she
wishes. EACH FUND'S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
To be considered for presentation at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of
any of the Funds to be held in 1996, a shareholder proposal must be received at
the offices of that Fund, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not
later than June 29, 1996.

GENERAL
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe
that any other items of business will be presented at any Fund's Annual
Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting
for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the
judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's
Annual Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker
Drive, Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular
business hours for ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if
they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in
the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an
adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN PERSON, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
