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. 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. This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds on or about June 27, 2002. 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. The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to each matter: <Table> <Caption> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Municipal Value, Municipal Income and Select Maturities) (William J. Schneider and Timothy R. Schwertfeger nominated) b. Election of one Board Member for Municipal Value and X N/A Municipal Income by all common shareholders (Anne E. Impellizzeri) 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </Table> (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 except that for Premium Income, a majority 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 matter submitted for a vote of the shareholders of each Fund (except Insured Premium Income 2, Dividend Advantage, Dividend Advantage 2 and Select Maturities, the "Massachusetts Business Trusts"), abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted against the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the approval of the matter submitted for a vote of the shareholders of the Massachusetts Business Trusts, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. The details of the proposal to be voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of the proposal are set forth under the description of the proposal below. Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on June 3, 2002 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of June 3, 2002, shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows: <Table> <Caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------- TICKER FUND SYMBOL COMMON SHARES MUNIPREFERRED - --------------------------------------------------------------- Municipal Value (NUV) 194,960,453 N/A Municipal Income (NMI) 8,088,678 N/A Premium Income (NPI) 63,785,430 3,800 Series M 2,000 Series M2 3,800 Series T 3,800 Series W 3,800 Series TH 3,800 Series F Municipal (NMA) 42,980,333 3,000 Series M Advantage 3,000 Series T 3,000 Series W 2,320 Series TH 3,000 Series F Municipal Market (NMO) 45,540,873 4,000 Series M Opportunity 4,000 Series T 3,200 Series W 4,000 Series F </Table> <Table> <Caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------- TICKER FUND SYMBOL COMMON SHARES MUNIPREFERRED - --------------------------------------------------------------- Investment Quality (NQM) 35,748,959 2,500 Series M 2,500 Series T 2,500 Series W 2,040 Series TH 2,500 Series F Insured Quality (NQI) 37,843,166 2,600 Series M 2,600 Series T 2,600 Series W 2,320 Series TH 2,600 Series F Select Quality (NQS) 33,887,474 2,000 Series M 2,000 Series T 2,800 Series W 1,560 Series TH 2,800 Series F Quality Income (NQU) 54,204,488 3,000 Series M 3,000 Series T 3,000 Series W 2,080 Series W2 4,000 Series TH 3,000 Series F </Table> 2 <Table> <Caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------- TICKER FUND SYMBOL COMMON SHARES MUNIPREFERRED - --------------------------------------------------------------- Insured Municipal (NIO) 81,060,946 4,000 Series M Opportunity 4,000 Series T 4,000 Series W 3,200 Series W2 4,000 Series TH1 4,000 Series TH2 4,000 Series F Premier Municipal (NPF) 20,091,018 1,000 Series M 2,800 Series T 2,800 Series TH Premier Insured (NIF) 19,293,778 840 Series W 2,800 Series TH 2,800 Series F Premium Income 2 (NPM) 41,093,661 2,000 Series M 3,000 Series T 2,000 Series W 3,000 Series TH 2,000 Series F 1,880 Series F2 Premium Income 4 (NPT) 43,236,703 2,200 Series M 2,000 Series T 1,328 Series T2 1,680 Series W 520 Series W2 2,680 Series TH 1,800 Series F 1,328 Series F2 </Table> <Table> <Caption> - --------------------------------------------------------------- TICKER FUND SYMBOL COMMON SHARES MUNIPREFERRED - --------------------------------------------------------------- Insured Premium (NPX) 37,254,959 2,080 Series M 2,200 Series T Income 2 2,080 Series W 2,200 Series TH 2,196 Series F Dividend (NAD) 39,200,765 4,000 Series M Advantage 4,000 Series T 3,800 Series TH Dividend (NXZ) 29,282,000 3,000 Series M Advantage 2 3,000 Series T 2,880 Series F Select Maturities (NIM) 12,394,977 N/A </Table> - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

On February 28, 2002, Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a group beneficially owned 467,408 common shares of all funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser"), Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC") or Nuveen Senior Loan Asset Management Inc. ("NSLAM") (includes Deferred Units and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan, but excludes shares of money market funds). Each Board Member's individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constitute less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of June 3, 2002, the Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a group owned beneficially less than 1% of the outstanding common shares of each Fund. As of June 3, 2002, the Board Members and executive officers of the Funds did not own any shares of MuniPreferred. As of June 3, 2002, no shareholder owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund. OTHER AFFILIATIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS OF BOARD MEMBERS As of February 28, 2002, none of the Board Members who are "interested persons" of a Fund (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) and who are not affiliated with Nuveen Investments ("Nuveen") or the Adviser (the "Independent Board Members"), nor any immediate family member of an Independent Board Member, owns shares of the Adviser or a principal underwriter of a Fund, nor does any such person own shares of a company controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser or a principal underwriter of a Fund. There have been no transactions by a Fund since the beginning of the Fund's last fiscal year, nor are there any transactions currently proposed, in which the amount exceeds $60,000 and in which any Board Member, executive officer or security holder of more than 5% of the voting securities of a Fund, or any immediate family members of the foregoing persons, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest, nor have any of the foregoing persons been indebted to a Fund in an amount in excess of $60,000 at any time since that date. No Independent Board Member, nor any immediate family member of such a Board Member, has had, in the past five years, any direct or indirect interest, the value of which exceeds $60,000, in the Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or in a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds. Moreover, no Independent Board Member (or immediate family member of any Independent Board Member) has, or has had in the last two fiscal years of the Funds, any direct or indirect relationships or any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or series of transactions or in any currently proposed transaction or series of transactions, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, in which the following persons were or are a party: the Funds, an officer of the Funds, any investment company sharing the same Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or any officer of such a party, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds, or any officer of such a person. Within the last two completed fiscal years of the Funds, no officer of any investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or of any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds, has served as a board member on a board of a company where any of the Board Members or Nominees of the Funds has served as an officer. COMPENSATION The Board Members affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser serve without any compensation from the Funds. The Independent Board Members 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 $1,750 fee per day plus expenses for attendance at all meetings (including any committee meetings) held on a day on which a regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per 7 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 $500 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person or $250 if by telephone at a meeting of any committee meeting held on a day on which no Board meeting is held. 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 2 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 2001. Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of each Fund, does not receive any compensation from the Fund or any Nuveen Funds. <Table> <Caption> AGGREGATE COMPENSATION FROM THE FUNDS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL PREMIUM MUNICIPAL MARKET BOARD MEMBER VALUE(1) INCOME INCOME(1) ADVANTAGE(1) OPPORTUNITY(1) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert P.

Stockdale 227 251 -------------------------------------------------- </Table> COMMITTEES The Board Members serve on four standing committees: the executive committee, the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, and the dividend and valuation committee. Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger serve as members of the executive committee of the Board of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, are limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the executive committee) or (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. No executive committee meetings were held for any of the Funds during its last fiscal year except for Dividend Advantage 2. The executive committee held two meetings for Dividend Advantage 2 during its fiscal year. Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are the current members of the dividend and valuation committee for each Fund. The dividend and valuation committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Funds' shares including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The committee also oversees the Fund's Pricing Procedures including, but not limited to, the review and approval of fair value pricing determinations made by Nuveen's Valuation Group. The dividend and valuation committee of each Fund except Select Maturities and Dividend Advantage 2 held eight meetings during its last fiscal year. The dividend and valuation committee of Select Maturities held five meetings during its fiscal year. The dividend and valuation committee of Dividend Advantage 2 held three meetings from its inception to the end of its fiscal year. Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Board Members who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who are "independent" as that term is defined in Section 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange's listing standards. The audit committee monitors the accounting and reporting policies and practices of the Funds, the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds, compliance by the Funds with legal and regulatory requirements and the independence and performance of the external and internal auditors. 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 has adopted a written charter. The audit committee of each Fund held two meetings during its last fiscal year. Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund is committed to a nominating and governance committee composed of all 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 committee also reviews matters relating to (1) the composition, duties, recruitment, independence and tenure of Board Members, (2) the selection and review of committee assignments, and (3) Board Member education, board meetings and board performance. The nominating and governance committee of each Fund held one meeting during its last fiscal year. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the nominating and governance committee receives suggestions from various sources as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing to Lorna Ferguson, Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Board Members and reserves the right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection of any new Board Members. The Board of each Fund held four regular quarterly meetings and two special 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 FUND'S OFFICERS The following table sets forth information as of June 3, 2002 with respect to each officer of the Funds, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board Member and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board.

Among other responsibilities, the Committee reviews, in its oversight capacity, each Fund's annual financial statements with both management and the independent auditors and the Committees meet periodically with the independent and internal auditors to consider their evaluation of each Fund's financial and internal controls. The Committee also recommends to the Board the selection of each Fund's independent auditors. The Committee is currently composed of six Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Each Committee member is independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange listing standards. The Committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and each Fund's independent and internal auditors. The Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees). Each Fund's independent auditors provided to the Committee the written disclosure required by Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Committee discussed with representatives of the independent auditor their firm's independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the Committee's responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund's financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Based on the Committee's review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, the representations of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Committee, the Committee has recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.

The Audit Committee of each Fund has generally considered whether the receipt of non-audit fees by Ernst & Young LLP from the Fund is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence. APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, as independent auditors to audit the books and records of each Fund for its fiscal year. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the meeting to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders' questions. Ernst & Young LLP has informed each Fund that it has no direct or indirect material financial interest in the Fund, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen. 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 10% 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 the Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the knowledge of management of the Funds, no shareholder of a Fund owns more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund's equity securities. INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ADVISER The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, serves as investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The John Nuveen Company is approximately 78% owned by The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). St. Paul is located at 385 Washington Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102, and is principally engaged in providing property-liability insurance through subsidiaries. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS To be considered for presentation at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of any of the Funds to be held in 2003, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333 West Wacker Drive, 13 Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than February 26, 2003. A shareholder wishing to provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule 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 May 12, 2003. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included. EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION 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 or employees of Nuveen Investments or Nuveen Advisory Corp., or by dealers and their representatives. FISCAL YEAR The last fiscal year end for each Fund except Select Maturities was October 31, 2001 and for Select Maturities was May 31, 2002. ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY Annual reports were sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following each Fund's fiscal year end. The 2002 annual report for Select Maturities is expected to be available on or before July 31, 2002. Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and/or semi-annual report as available upon request. Such written or oral requests should be directed to such Fund at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 or by calling 1-800-257-8787. 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 by the persons acting under the proxies upon such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the Fund. 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 beginning 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 AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES. Gifford R.
