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 Municipal Value
Fund, Inc. ("Municipal Value"), Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("Municipal
Income"), Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Premium Income"), Nuveen
Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Performance Plus"), Nuveen Municipal
Advantage Fund, Inc. ("Municipal Advantage"), Nuveen Municipal Market

Income Municipal Fund 4, Inc. ("Premium Income 4"), Nuveen Insured Premium
Income Municipal Fund 2 ("Insured Premium Income 2"), Nuveen Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund ("Dividend Advantage") and Nuveen Select Maturities Municipal
Fund ("Select Maturities") (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 July 26, 2000 (for each Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and,
collectively, the "Annual Meetings"), and at any and all adjournments thereof.

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 each
Fund will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint
Proxy Statement and FOR ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as
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 the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement
for the Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of the 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.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON MUNI -
MATTER SHARES PREFERRED(1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1a(i). Election of Board Members by all shareholders (except X X
Municipal Value, Municipal Income, and Select Maturities)
(Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Anne E. Impellizzeri,
Peter R. Sawers and Judith M. Stockdale nominated)
a(ii). Election of Board Members by MuniPreferred only (except N/A X

(William J. Schneider and Timothy R. Schwertfeger nominated)
b. Election of Board Members for Municipal Value and Municipal X N/A

c. Election of Board Members for Select Maturities by all X N/A
shareholders (Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Anne E.
Impellizzeri, Peter R. Sawers, William J. Schneider, Timothy
R. Schwertfeger and Judith M. Stockdale nominated)
2. Ratification of the Selection of Independent Auditors X X
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) "MuniPreferred" means "Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares."

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 of each Fund (except
Municipal Income, Municipal Value and Select Maturities), 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.

For purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote of
the shareholders of each Fund (except Insured Premium Income 2, Dividend
Advantage and Select Maturities), 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. For purposes of
determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote of the shareholders
of Insured Premium Income 2, Dividend Advantage and Select Maturities,
abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board
Members and will have the same effect as shares voted 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.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on May
30, 2000 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of May 30, 2000,
shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

appointed a Board Member of each Fund and the number of common shares of the

Value and Municipal Income which only elected Class II and Class I Board
Members, respectively. Currently there is a vacancy on the Board. No candidate
has been selected to fill this vacancy.

Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, none of the Board Members have ever been a director
or an employee of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or any affiliate.

* "Interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by reason of being an officer or director of the Funds' investment
adviser, Nuveen Advisory Corp.

(1) As of April 28, 2000, the Board Members and nominees were board members of
37 Nuveen open-end funds and 54 closed-end funds managed by Nuveen Advisory
Corp. ("NAC"). In addition, Mr. Schwertfeger is a board member of eight
open-end and five closed-end funds managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory
Corp. ("NIAC") and two funds managed by Nuveen Senior Loan Asset Management
Inc. ("NSLAM").

(2) These persons have sole voting power and sole investment power, except that
Mr. Schwertfeger and Ms. Stockdale's shares are held jointly with their
respective spouses. Mr. Brown's shares are held in a revocable trust.

(3) The number shown reflects the aggregate number of common shares beneficially
owned in all of the NAC, NIAC and NSLAM managed funds referred to in note
(1) above (excluding money market funds). Includes share equivalents of
certain Nuveen funds in which the Board Member is deemed to be invested
pursuant to the Funds' Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferred Units"), as
more fully described below. Also includes shares held by Mr. Schwertfeger in
Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan. 5,440 shares listed for Mr. Bremner are
owned by his spouse. Mr. Bremner disclaims beneficial ownership of these
shares. 1,057 shares listed for Mr. Sawers are owned by his spouse; Mr.
Sawers has shared investment power.

(4) Messrs. Bremner and Schneider and Ms. Stockdale are currently Class III and
Class II Board Members of Municipal Value and Municipal Income,
respectively, whose current term expires at the Annual Meetings, and have
been nominated for a new term to expire in 2003.

(5) Messrs. Brown, Sawers and Schwertfeger are continuing Class I and Class III
Board Members of Municipal Value and Municipal Income, respectively, where
term will expire in 2001.

(6) Ms. Impellizzeri is a continuing Class II and Class I Board Member of
Municipal Value and Municipal Income, respectively, whose term will expire

(7) Messrs. Schneider and Schwertfeger are Board nominees to be elected by
holders of MuniPreferred for all Funds except Municipal Value, Municipal
Income and Select Maturities.

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
$15,000 quarterly retainer ($60,000 annually) for serving as a board member 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 or the dividend committee. The annual
retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser
on the basis of relative net asset sizes. Effective January 1, 1999, the Board
of Directors/Trustees of certain Nuveen Funds (the "Participating Funds")
established a Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees
("Deferred Compensation Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan,
Independent Board Members of the Participating Funds may defer receipt of all,
or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their services to the
Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of such compensation.
Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar amount had been
invested in shares of one or more eligible Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board
Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected to defer at least a portion of their
fees. Each of the Funds except Select Maturities, Municipal Income and Dividend
Advantage are Participating Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for
service on the boards of the NAC Funds for the calendar year ended 1999.

Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence
H. Brown, Anne E. Impellizzeri, Peter R. Sawers, William J. Schneider and Judith
M. Stockdale, Board Members who are not "interested persons of the Fund." The
audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Fund's
independent auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to make
recommendations to the Board. The audit committee of each Fund held one meeting
(none for Select Maturities) during its last fiscal year.

Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund
is committed to a nominating committee composed of the Board Members who are not
"interested persons" of that Fund. It identifies and recommends individuals to
be nominated for election as non-interested Board Members. The nominating
committee of each Fund held no meetings during its last fiscal year. No policy
or procedure has been established as to the recommendation of Board Member
nominees by shareholders.

The Board of each Fund (except Select Maturities) held three regular quarterly
meetings and one special meeting during its last fiscal year. The Board of
Select Maturities, held four regular quarterly meetings during its last fiscal
year. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of
each Fund's Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof).

The following table sets forth information as of April 28, 2000 with respect to
each executive officer of the Funds, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board
Member and included in the table relating to nominees for the Board. Officers of
the Funds receive no compensation from the Funds. The term of office of all
officers will expire in July 2000. The Board will consider the election of

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 for each Fund for its
current fiscal year. 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.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL INTEREST REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 30(h) 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, (the "1934
Act"), require each Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser,
affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than ten
percent of 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 its last fiscal year all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to that Fund's Board Members and officers, investment
adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser were complied with.

Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333
West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than February 14, 2001. A

14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 must
submit such written notice to the Fund not later than April 30, 2001. Timely
submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included.

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

vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon
such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the

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
