IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO FUND SHAREHOLDERS
JUNE 16, 2005
Although we recommend that you read the complete Proxy Statement, for your
convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the issues to be voted on.
Q. WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS PROXY STATEMENT?
A. Pursuant to an investment management agreement between your Fund and Nuveen
Asset Management ("NAM"), NAM has served as your Fund's investment adviser
and has been responsible for the overall investment strategy of your Fund. In
addition, for certain Funds, NAM entered into an investment sub-advisory
agreement pursuant to which a sub-adviser was retained to furnish investment
advisory services to the Fund. NAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"). Nuveen is a publicly traded company and, until
recently, was a majority-owned subsidiary of The St. Paul Travelers
Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul Travelers").
As part of St. Paul Travelers' previously announced three-part program to
sell its entire equity interest in Nuveen (the "Sale"), St. Paul Travelers
sold 39.3 million shares of Nuveen through a secondary public offering on
April 12, 2005. Nuveen also repurchased $600 million of its shares from St.
Paul Travelers. The repurchase of these shares is being completed through two
steps -- a $200 million repurchase that closed on April 12, 2005, and a $400
million forward purchase (plus interest) that will settle later this year.
Finally, St. Paul Travelers also entered into an agreement with two other
parties to sell approximately 12 million common shares of Nuveen for
settlement later this year. After completion of the Sale, Nuveen will emerge
as a fully independent public company.
Upon completion of the Sale, the investment management agreement between your
Fund and NAM and, for certain Funds, the sub-advisory agreement between NAM
and the sub-adviser may be terminated. In order for NAM and the sub-advisers
to continue to serve as investment adviser and sub-adviser after the
completion of the Sale, the shareholders of your Fund must approve a new
investment management agreement and, if applicable, a new sub-advisory
agreement. The enclosed Proxy Statement gives you additional information on
the proposed new investment management agreement and new sub-advisory
agreement, as well as certain other matters. The Board of Trustees of each
Fund (the "Board," and each Trustee, a "Board Member"), including those Board
Members who are not affiliated with NAM or any sub-adviser, unanimously
recommend that you vote FOR the approval of the new investment management
agreement and new sub-advisory agreement, if applicable, for your Fund.
In addition, your Fund is seeking shareholder approval to elect Board Members
to serve on your Fund's Board. The Board Members of your Fund unanimously
recommend that you vote FOR the nominees for the Board.
Please refer to the Proxy Statement for a detailed explanation of the items
you are being asked to vote on.
Q. WHY IS A VOTE ON THE PROPOSED NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT REQUIRED?
A. The completion of the Sale could be deemed to be an "assignment," as that
term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), of the
investment management agreement between each Fund and NAM and (for certain of
the Funds) the sub-advisory agreement between NAM and each such Fund's
sub-adviser. As required by the 1940 Act, under its terms, each investment
management agreement and sub-advisory agreement would automatically terminate
in the event of its assignment. As a result, shareholder approval of a new
investment management agreement and, if applicable, a new sub-advisory
agreement will permit NAM and each sub-adviser to continue to serve your
Fund.
Q. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT APPROVE THE NEW INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OR SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT?
A. If the new investment management agreement or sub-advisory agreement is not
approved, your Fund's Board will take such actions as it deems to be in the
best interests of your Fund. This is discussed in more detail in the Proxy
Statement.
Q. HOW WILL THE SALE AFFECT ME AS A FUND SHAREHOLDER?
A. Your investment in your Fund will not change as a result of the Sale. You
will still own the same shares in the Fund, and the value of your investment
will not change as a result of the Sale. The new investment management
agreement and sub-advisory agreement, if approved by shareholders, will
still be with NAM and the same sub-adviser and the terms of the new
investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement are substantially
identical to the terms of the original investment management agreement and
sub-advisory agreement. In addition, the portfolio managers of your Fund
will not change as a result of the new investment management agreement and
sub-advisory agreement.
Q. WILL THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY FEE RATES BE THE SAME
UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT?
A. Yes, the investment management and sub-advisory fee rates will remain the
same.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS SUGGEST THAT I VOTE IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEW
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT?
A. After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund unanimously recommends
that you vote "FOR" the approval of the new investment management agreement
and sub-advisory agreement.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS SUGGEST THAT I VOTE IN CONNECTION WITH THE
ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS?
A. After careful consideration, the Board of your Fund unanimously recommends
that you vote "FOR" the nominees for the Board.
Q. WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
A. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon.
Additionally, your immediate response will help save on the costs of any
future solicitations for these shareholder votes. We encourage all
shareholders to participate in the governance of their Fund.
Q. WHO DO I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
A. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or
how to vote your shares, please call your financial advisor. Alternatively,
you may call Nuveen at (800) 257-8787 weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Central time.
Q. HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES?
A. You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card,
and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Alternatively, you may
vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card or by
computer by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy card and
following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide.
Q. WILL ANYONE CONTACT ME?
A. You may receive a call to verify that you received your proxy materials, to
answer any questions you may have about the proposals and to encourage you to
vote.

(1) Shareholders of all classes of each Fund or, in the case of the election of
Board Members, of each Trust vote together on each proposal.
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Trust's Meeting. A
majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Meeting, represented in person
or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Meeting. Votes
cast by proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors
of election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election will
determine whether or not a quorum is present at the 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 new investment management
agreement and sub-advisory agreement, abstentions and broker non-votes will be
treated as shares voted against the proposal. For purposes of determining the
approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each of the Trusts, abstentions
and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. The
details of the proposals to be voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the
vote required for approval of the proposals are set forth under the description
of the proposals below.
4
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on May
20, 2005 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of May 20, 2005,
the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

1. APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
BACKGROUND
Under an investment management agreement between Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"
or the "Adviser") and each Trust (each, an "Original Investment Management
Agreement" and collectively, the "Original Investment Management Agreements"),
NAM has served as each Fund's investment adviser and has been responsible for
each Fund's overall investment strategy and its implementation. The date of each
Trust's Original Investment Management Agreement and the date on which it was
last approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board is
provided in Appendix A. NAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments,
Inc. ("Nuveen"). Nuveen is a publicly traded company and, until recently, was a
majority-owned subsidiary of The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul
Travelers"), 385 Washington Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102. St. Paul is a
publicly-traded company that is principally engaged in providing
property-liability insurance through subsidiaries.
On March 25, 2005, Nuveen and St. Paul Travelers announced that St. Paul
Travelers planned to implement a three-part program to sell its equity interest
in Nuveen (the "Sale"). As part of St. Paul Travelers' previously announced
three-part divestiture program, St. Paul Travelers sold 39.3 million shares of
Nuveen's approximately 94 million outstanding common shares through a secondary
public offering on April 12, 2005. Nuveen also repurchased $600 million of its
common shares from St. Paul Travelers at a price of $32.98 per share, or
approximately 18.2 million shares. The repurchase of these shares is being
completed through two steps -- a $200 million repurchase that closed on April
12, 2005, and a $400 million forward purchase (plus interest) that will settle
later this year. St. Paul Travelers also entered into an agreement with two
other parties to sell approximately 12 million common shares of Nuveen for
settlement later this year. Upon the closing of the secondary offering and the
initial repurchase by Nuveen as well as the closing for the forward sale
transactions later this year, Nuveen will emerge as a fully independent public
company.
Each Original Investment Management Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides for its
automatic termination in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940
Act). Any change in control of the Adviser is deemed to be an assignment. The
consummation of the Sale may be deemed a change in control of the Adviser and
therefore cause the automatic termination of each Original Investment Management
Agreement, as required by the 1940 Act.
In anticipation of the Sale, each Board met in person at a joint meeting of each
Trust's Board on May 10-12, 2005 for purposes of, among other things,
considering whether it would be in the best interests of each Trust and its
shareholders to approve a new investment management agreement between the Trust
and NAM (each, a "New Investment Management Agreement" and collectively, the
"New Investment Management Agreements").
The 1940 Act requires that with respect to each Fund the respective Trust's New
Investment Management Agreement be approved by the Fund's shareholders in order
for it to become effective with respect to that Fund. At the Board meeting, and
for the reasons discussed below (see "Board Considerations in Approving New
Investment Management Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements" after Proposal
2), each Board, including a majority of the Board Members who are not parties to
the Original Investment Management
6
Agreements, New Investment Management Agreements or any sub-advisory agreement
entered into by the Adviser with respect to any Fund or who are not "interested
persons" of the Trusts or the Adviser as defined in the 1940 Act (the
"Independent Board Members"), unanimously approved the New Investment Management
Agreement and unanimously recommended its approval by shareholders in order to
assure continuity of investment advisory services to the Trust after the Sale.
In the event shareholders of a Fund do not approve the New Investment Management
Agreement, the Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best
interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The form of the New Investment
Management Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix B.
COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND NEW INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The terms of each New Investment Management Agreement, including fees payable to
the Adviser by each Fund thereunder, are substantially identical to those of the
Original Investment Management Agreement, except for the date of effectiveness.
There is no change in the fee rate payable by each Fund to the Adviser. If
approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Investment Management Agreement for
the respective Trust will expire with respect to that Fund on August 1, 2006,
unless continued. Each New Investment Management Agreement will continue in
effect from year to year thereafter if such continuance is approved for the Fund
at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder. Below is a comparison of certain terms of the Original
Investment Management Agreement to the terms of the New Investment Management
Agreement.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The investment management services to be
provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the New Investment Management
Agreements will be identical to those services currently provided by the Adviser
to each Fund under the Original Investment Management Agreements. Both the
Original Investment Management Agreements and New Investment Management
Agreements provide that the Adviser shall manage the investment and reinvestment
of each Fund's assets in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and
policies and limitations and administer the Fund's affairs to the extent
requested by and subject to the supervision the Trust's Board. In addition, the
investment management services will be provided by the same Adviser personnel
under the New Investment Management Agreements as under the Original Investment
Management Agreements. The Adviser does not anticipate that the Sale will have
any adverse effect on the performance of its obligations under the New
Investment Management Agreements.
FEES. Under each Original Investment Management Agreement and New Investment
Management Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser an investment management fee
that consists of two components -- a fund-level component, based only on the
amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level component,
based on the aggregate managed assets (which includes assets attributable to all
types of leverage used in leveraged funds) of all Nuveen-branded closed-end and
open-end registered investment companies organized in the United States. The
investment management fee paid by each Fund equals the sum of the fund-level
component and complex-level component.
The fee schedules for the fund-level component and complex-level component to be
paid to the Adviser under the New Investment Management Agreements are identical
to the
7
fund-level component and complex-level component paid to the Adviser under the
Original Investment Management Agreements. The annual fund-level component for
each Fund under the Original Investment Management Agreements and the New
Investment Management Agreements, the fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser
during each Fund's last fiscal year and the Fund's net assets as of May 1, 2005
are set forth in Appendix C to this Proxy Statement. The fee schedule for the
complex-level component is the same for each Fund under both the Original
Investment Management Agreements and New Investment Management Agreements and is
also set forth in Appendix C.
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Under each Original Investment Management Agreement and
each New Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser shall furnish, at its own
cost, office facilities and equipment and clerical, bookkeeping and
administrative services (other than such services, if any, provided by the
Trust's custodian, transfer agent and shareholder service agent, and the like)
for the Trust.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. The Original Investment Management Agreements and New
Investment Management Agreements provide that the Adviser will not be liable for
any loss sustained by reason of the purchase, sale or retention of any security,
whether or not such purchase, sale or retention shall have been based upon the
investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if
such recommendation shall have been selected with due care and in good faith,
except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on
the part of the Adviser in the performance of its obligations and duties, or by
reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the
Agreement.
CONTINUANCE. The Original Investment Management Agreement of each Trust
originally was in effect for an initial term and could be continued thereafter
for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at
least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. If the shareholders of a
Fund approve the New Investment Management Agreement for that Fund, the New
Investment Management Agreement with respect to that Fund will expire on August
1, 2006, unless continued. The New Investment Management Agreement may be
continued for successive one-year periods if approved at least annually in the
manner required by the 1940 Act.
TERMINATION. The Original Investment Management Agreement and New Investment
Management Agreement for each Trust provide that the Agreement may be terminated
at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Trust or Adviser on sixty
(60) days' written notice to the other party. A Trust may effect termination by
action of the Board or with respect to any Fund by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Fund, accompanied by appropriate notice.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE ADVISER
NAM, a registered investment adviser, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
Founded in 1898, Nuveen and its affiliates had approximately $119 billion in
assets under management as of March 31, 2005. Nuveen is a publicly traded
company and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol
"JNC."
The principal occupation of the officers and directors of NAM who serve as
officers or Board Members of the Trusts appears below under the headings "Board
Nominees/Board
8
Members" and "The Officers." Information for the remaining officers and
directors of NAM is shown in Appendix D. The business address of NAM, Nuveen and
each principal executive officer and director of NAM is 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60606.
Board Member Schwertfeger sold 330,950 shares of Class A Stock of Nuveen on the
New York Stock Exchange since June 1, 2003. Mr. Schwertfeger received $9,483,036
in exchange for his shares of Nuveen sold.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
To become effective with respect to a particular Fund, the New Investment
Management Agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund, with all classes voting together. The "vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities" is defined in the 1940 Act as the
lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote
thereon present at the meeting if the holders of more than 50% of such
outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy; or (ii) more
than 50% of such outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon. Each
New Investment Management Agreement was approved by the Board of the respective
Trust on behalf of the Funds after consideration of all factors which it
determined to be relevant to its deliberations, including those discussed below.
The Board of each Trust also determined to submit the Trust's New Investment
Management Agreement for consideration by the shareholders of the Trust.
THE BOARD OF EACH TRUST UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE TRUST
VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.
2. APPROVAL OF THE NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
BACKGROUND
NAM entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement (each, an "Original
Sub-Advisory Agreement" and collectively, the "Original Sub-Advisory
Agreements") with respect to certain Funds (each, a "Sub-Advised Fund" and
collectively, the "Sub-Advised Funds") with various sub-advisers (each, a
"Sub-Adviser" and collectively, the "Sub-Advisers") as set forth below:

(4) "Rittenhouse" is Rittenhouse Asset Management, Inc.
9
The date of each Original Sub-Advisory Agreement and the date it was last
approved by shareholders and approved for continuance by the Board is provided
in Appendix E.
As with the Original Investment Management Agreements, each Original
Sub-Advisory Agreement, as required by Section 15 of the 1940 Act, provides for
its automatic termination in the event of its assignment. A change in control of
the investment adviser or sub-adviser is deemed to be an assignment. The
completion of the Sale may be deemed a change in control of NAM and therefore
may be deemed an assignment of each Original Sub-Advisory Agreement resulting in
its automatic termination, as required by the 1940 Act. In addition, for NWQ and
Rittenhouse, which are majority-owned subsidiaries of Nuveen, the completion of
the Sale may be deemed a change in control of NWQ and Rittenhouse and therefore
may be deemed an assignment of each Original Sub-Advisory Agreement resulting in
its automatic termination, as required by the 1940 Act.
In anticipation of the Sale, the Board of each Sub-Advised Fund met in person on
May 10-12, 2005 for purposes of considering whether it would be in the best
interests of each Sub-Advised Fund and its shareholders to approve a new
sub-advisory agreement between NAM and the respective Sub-Adviser (each a "New
Sub-Advisory Agreement" and collectively, the "New Sub-Advisory Agreements"). At
the Board meeting, and for the reasons discussed below (see "Board
Considerations in Approving New Investment Management Agreements and New
Sub-Advisory Agreements" after Proposal 2), the Board of each Sub-Advised Fund,
including a majority of the Independent Board Members, unanimously determined
that the Sub-Advised Fund's New Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests
of the Fund and its shareholders and approved the Fund entering into the New
Sub-Advisory Agreement, subject to the consummation of the Sale and approval by
shareholders.
The 1940 Act requires that with respect to each Sub-Advised Fund the New
Sub-Advisory Agreement for that Fund be approved by that Sub-Advised Fund's
shareholders in order for it to become effective with respect to that Fund. The
Board of each Sub-Advised Fund unanimously recommends that shareholders approve
the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. In the event shareholders of a Sub-Advised Fund
do not approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board will take such action
as it deems to be in the best interests of the Sub-Advised Fund and its
shareholders. The form of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached hereto as
Appendix F.
COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The terms of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, including fees payable to the
Sub-Adviser by NAM thereunder, are substantially identical to those of the
Original Sub-Advisory Agreement, except for the date of effectiveness. There is
no change in the fee rate payable by NAM to the Sub-Adviser. If approved by
shareholders of a Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund will expire
on August 1, 2006, unless continued. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement will
continue in effect from year to year thereafter if such continuance is approved
for the Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder. Below is a comparison of certain terms of the
Original Sub-Advisory Agreements to the terms of the New Sub-Advisory
Agreements.
ADVISORY SERVICES. The advisory services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to
each Sub-Advised Fund under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements will be identical to
those advisory services currently provided by the Sub-Adviser to each
Sub-Advised Fund under the Original
10
Sub-Advisory Agreements. Both the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-
Advisory Agreements provide that the Sub-Adviser will furnish an investment
program in respect of, make investment decisions for and place all orders for
the purchase and sale of securities for the portion of the Fund's investment
portfolio allocated by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser, all on behalf of the Fund
and subject to supervision of the Trust's Board and the Adviser. In performing
its duties under both the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements and the New
Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Sub-Adviser will monitor the Fund's investments and
will comply with the provisions of the Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws
and the stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund. It
is not anticipated that the Sale will have any adverse effect on the performance
of a Sub-Adviser's obligations under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Under the Original Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement with
ICAP, ICAP is engaged to provide services to the entire investment portfolio of
Large-Cap Value and Balanced Stock and Bond and the equity investments only of
Balanced Municipal and Stock. The other Sub-Advisers are engaged to provide
services to the entire investment portfolio of the Funds they sub-advise.
BROKERAGE. Both the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory
Agreements authorize the Sub-Adviser to select the brokers or dealers that will
execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Funds, subject
to its obligation to obtain best execution under the circumstances, which may
take account of the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided
to the Sub-Adviser.
FEES. Under both the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory
Agreements, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a portfolio management fee out of
the investment management fee it receives from the respective Fund. The rate of
the portfolio management fees payable by the Adviser to each Sub-Adviser under
the New Sub-Advisory Agreements is identical to the rate of the fees paid under
the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements. The annual rate of portfolio management
fees payable to each Sub-Adviser under the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements and
the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and the fees paid by the Adviser to each
Sub-Adviser with respect to each Sub-Advised Fund during each Sub-Advised Fund's
last fiscal year is set forth in Appendix G to this Proxy Statement. Appendix G
also includes the advisory fee rates and net assets of funds not included in
this Proxy Statement advised by each Sub-Adviser with similar investment
objectives as the Funds the Sub-Adviser sub-advises.
PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. Under each Original Sub-Advisory Agreement and New
Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser agrees to pay all expenses it incurs in
connection with its activities under the Agreement other than the cost of
securities (including brokerage commissions) purchased for the Fund.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY. The Original Sub-Advisory Agreements and New
Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the Sub-Adviser will not be liable for, and
the Adviser will not take any action against the Sub-Adviser to hold the
Sub-Adviser liable for, any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of the Sub-Adviser's
duties under the Agreement, except for a loss resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the
performance of its duties under the Agreement, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.
11
CONTINUANCE. The Original Sub-Advisory Agreement of each Sub-Advised Fund
originally was in effect for an initial term and could be continued thereafter
for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at
least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act. If the shareholders of a
Sub-Advised Fund approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for that Fund, the New
Sub-Advisory Agreement will expire on August 1, 2006, unless continued.
Thereafter, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement may be continued for successive
one-year periods if approved at least annually in the manner required by the
1940 Act.
TERMINATION. The Original Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement
for each Sub-Advised Fund provide that the Agreement may be terminated at any
time without the payment of any penalty by NAM on sixty (60) days' written
notice to the Sub-Adviser. The Original Sub-Advisory Agreement and New
Sub-Advisory Agreement may also be terminated by a Sub-Advised Fund with respect
to that Fund by action of the Board or by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Fund, accompanied by 60 days' written
notice.
The Original Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Sub-
Advised Fund is also terminable with respect to that Fund at any time without
the payment of any penalty, by the Adviser, the Board or by vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund in the event that it is
established by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Sub-Adviser or any of
its officers or directors has taken any action that results in a breach of the
representations of the Sub-Adviser set forth in the Agreement.

12
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
To become effective, each New Sub-Advisory Agreement must be approved by a vote
of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, with all classes
voting together. The "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities"
is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (i) 67% or more of the
shares of the Fund entitled to vote thereon present at the meeting if the
holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares are present in person or
represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of such outstanding shares of the
Fund entitled to vote thereon. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by
the Board after consideration of all factors which it determined to be relevant
to its deliberations, including those discussed above. The Board also determined
to submit the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for consideration by the shareholders
of the Fund.
THE BOARD OF EACH SUB-ADVISED FUND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF
THE FUND VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE FUND'S NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT.
BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS AND NEW
SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At a meeting held on May 10-12, 2005, the Board of each Trust, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the New Investment Management
Agreement between each Trust and NAM and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements between
NAM and the Sub-Advisers (NAM and the Sub-Advisers are each, a "Fund Adviser").
THE APPROVAL PROCESS. To assist the Board in its evaluation of an advisory
contract with a Fund Adviser, the Independent Board Members received a report in
adequate time in advance of their meeting which outlined, among other things,
the services provided by the Fund Adviser; the organization of the Fund Adviser,
including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel; the
Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance compared to funds of
similar investment objectives compiled by an independent third party (a "Peer
Group") as described below and if available, with recognized or, in certain
cases, customized benchmarks; the profitability of the Fund Adviser and certain
industry profitability analyses for advisers to unaffiliated investment
companies; the expenses of the Fund Adviser in providing the various services;
the advisory fees of the Fund Adviser, including comparisons of such fees with
the management fees of comparable funds in its Peer Group as well as comparisons
of the Fund Adviser's management fees with the fees the Fund Adviser assesses to
other types of investment products or accounts, if any; the soft dollar
practices of the Fund Adviser; and the expenses of each Fund, including
comparisons of the Fund's expense ratios (after any fee waivers) with the
expense ratios of its Peer Group. This information supplements that received by
the Board throughout the year regarding Fund performance, expense ratios,
portfolio composition, trade execution and sales activity.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the
Independent Board Members provided, in advance of the meeting, a legal
memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Board Members under
the 1940 Act as well as the general principles of relevant state law in
reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in
such matters; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements
and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment
company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be
considered by the board in voting on advisory agreements.
13
At the Board meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from
the Board. In addition, the Independent Board Members noted that each
Sub-Adviser also had previously made written or oral presentations to the Board
providing the respective Sub-Adviser with the opportunity to explain its
investment strategies, discuss market conditions, and highlight any material
issues. Many of these presentations were part of site visits by the Board
throughout the year. After the presentations and after reviewing the written
materials, the Independent Board Members met privately with their legal counsel
to review the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the
renewal of the advisory contract. It is with this background that the Board
Members considered each advisory contract (which includes the Sub-Advisory
Agreements) with a Fund Adviser. The Independent Board Members, in consultation
with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and
Securities and Exchange Commission directives relating to the renewal of
advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Board Members
considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund,
including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to
be provided by the Fund Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and
the Fund Adviser; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be
realized by the Fund Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the
Fund; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund
grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the
benefit of Fund investors.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the respective Fund Adviser's
services, the Board Members reviewed information concerning the types of
services that a Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide and are expected to
provide to the Nuveen Funds; narrative and statistical information concerning
the Fund's performance record and how such performance compares to the Fund's
Peer Group and, if available, recognized benchmarks or, in certain cases,
customized benchmarks (as described in further detail in Section B below);
information describing the Fund Adviser's organization and its various
departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel, and available
resources. In the discussion of key personnel, the Board Members received
materials regarding the changes or additions in personnel of the applicable Fund
Adviser. The Board Members further noted the willingness of the personnel of NAM
to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board Members further
considered the quality of the Fund Adviser's investment process in making
portfolio management decisions, including any refinements or improvements to the
portfolio management processes, enhancements to technology and systems that are
available to portfolio managers, and any additions of new personnel which may
strengthen or expand the research and investment capabilities of the Fund
Adviser. In their review of the advisory contracts for the fixed income funds,
the Board Members also noted that Nuveen won the Lipper Award for Best Fund
Family: Fixed Income-Large Asset Class, for 2004. Given the Board Members'
experience with the Funds, other Nuveen funds and the Fund Advisers, the Board
Members noted that they were familiar with and continue to have a good
understanding of the organization, operations and personnel of the Fund
Advisers.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of the administrative or non-advisory services provided. In this regard,
NAM provides the Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of,
and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Funds) and
officers and other personnel as are necessary
14
for the operations of the respective Fund. In addition to investment management
services, NAM and its affiliates provide each Fund with a wide range of
services, including: preparing shareholder reports; providing daily accounting;
providing quarterly financial statements; overseeing and coordinating the
activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board
meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal
support (such as helping to prepare registration statements, amendments thereto
and proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing
other Fund administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the Fund (such as
tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In addition, in
evaluating the administrative services, the Board Members considered, in
particular, a Fund Adviser's policies and procedures for assuring compliance
with applicable laws and regulations in light of the new Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations governing compliance. The Board Members noted NAM's focus
on compliance and its compliance systems. In their review, the Board Members
considered, among other things, the additions of experienced personnel to NAM's
compliance group and modifications and other enhancements to NAM's computer
systems. In addition to the foregoing, the Board Members also noted that NAM
outsources certain services that cannot be replicated without significant costs
or at the same level of expertise. Such outsourcing has been a beneficial and
efficient use of resources by keeping expenses low while obtaining quality
services.
In addition to the above, the Board also considered the following with respect
to Funds that utilize a Sub-Adviser, the Board Members considered NAM's ability
and procedures to monitor the respective Sub-Adviser's performance, business
practices and compliance policies and procedures. In this regard, the Board
Members noted the role of NAM's investment oversight committee, including its
increased personnel, the responsibilities and experience of the staff, and
procedures to monitor Sub-Advisers, including the use of site visits.
With respect to services provided to the Funds that are municipal funds, the
Board Members also noted, among other things, the enhancements NAM implemented
to its municipal portfolio management processes (e.g., the increased use of
benchmarks to guide and assess the performance of its portfolio managers); the
implementation of a risk management program; and the various initiatives being
undertaken to enhance or modify NAM's computer systems as necessary to support
the innovations of the municipal investment team (such as, the ability to assess
certain historical data in order to create customized benchmarks, perform
attribution analysis and facilitate the use of derivatives as hedging
instruments).
With respect to the Sub-Advisers, the Independent Board Members noted that the
Sub-Advisory Agreements were essentially agreements for portfolio management
services only and the respective Sub-Adviser was not expected to supply other
significant administrative services to the Funds.
Based on their review, the Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent
and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective
Funds under the Investment Management Agreement or Sub-Advisory Agreement, as
applicable, were of a high level and were quite satisfactory.
15
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND FUND ADVISERS
As previously noted, the Board received a myriad of performance information
regarding each Fund and its Peer Group, if available. Among other things, the
Board received materials reflecting a Fund's historic performance, the Fund's
performance compared to its Peer Group if available and its performance compared
to recognized and, in certain cases, customized benchmarks (as applicable).
Further, in evaluating the performance information, in certain limited
instances, the Board Members noted that the closest Peer Group for a Fund still
would not adequately reflect such Fund's investment objectives and strategies,
thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Fund's performance
with that of the Peer Group.
With respect to national and state municipal funds, the performance data
included, among other things, such Fund's performance relative to its peers,
except as noted. More specifically, a Fund's one-, three- and five-year total
returns (as available) for the periods ending December 31, 2004 were evaluated
relative to the unaffiliated funds in its respective Peer Group (including the
returns of individual peers as well as the Peer Group average) as well as
additional performance information with respect to all funds in the Peer Group,
subject to the following. Certain state municipal Funds do not have a
corresponding Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a
state-specific municipal index compiled by an independent third party. Such
indices measure bond performance rather than fund performance. The two Funds
that utilize such indices are New Mexico Municipal and Wisconsin Municipal.
Based on their review, the Board Members determined that the Fund's absolute and
relative investment performance over time had been satisfactory.
With respect to the non-municipal funds, the Board Members reviewed performance
information including, among other things, total return information compared
with the Fund's Peer Group as well as recognized and, in some cases, customized
benchmarks for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as applicable) ending
December 31, 2004. This information supplements the Fund performance information
provided to the Board at each of their quarterly meetings. Based on their
review, the Board Members determined that respective Fund's absolute and
relative investment performance over time had been satisfactory, except as
noted.
Although Rittenhouse Growth's performance over certain recent periods has not
compared favorably to its peers or benchmark, its performance has seen recent
improvement. The Board Members also noted that such Fund was in the top quartile
compared to its peers for the five-year performance period ending December 31,
2004. In addition, the Board Members noted that the Rittenhouse investment team
made significant modifications to its investment approach with the introduction
of a new quality model to expand its universe of eligible investments,
restructured and added to its investment team, and further added analytical
tools to support its investment process. The Board was satisfied with
Rittenhouse's initiatives to address performance concerns.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
FEES AND EXPENSES. In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Fund is
expected to bear, the Board Members considered the Fund's current management fee
structure, the sub-advisory fee arrangements (as applicable) and the Fund's
expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared with the fees and
respective expense ratios of
16
the unaffiliated funds in its Peer Group. The Board Members reviewed the
financial information of the respective Fund Adviser, including its respective
revenues, expenses and profitability. In reviewing fees, the Board Members,
among other things, reviewed comparisons of the Fund's gross management fees
(fees after fund-level and complex-wide level breakpoints but before
reimbursement and fee waivers), net management fees (after breakpoints and
reimbursements and fee waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after
waivers) with those of the unaffiliated funds in its Peer Group and peer
averages. In this regard, the Board Members noted that the relative ranking of
the Nuveen Funds on fees and expenses was aided by the significant level of fee
reductions provided by the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules, and
the fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen for certain Funds launched
since 1999. The complex-wide breakpoint schedule was instituted in 2004 and is
described in further detail below in Section D entitled "Economies of Scale and
Whether Fee Levels Reflect these Economies of Scale." In addition to the
foregoing, in their review of the fee and expense information provided for the
municipal funds, including, in particular, the expense ratios of the
unaffiliated funds in the Peer Group, the Board Members determined that such
Funds' net total expense ratios were within an acceptable range compared to such
peers. The Board Members further noted that net total expense ratios for all the
open-end equity and balanced Funds, except the NWQ International Value, were
somewhat above the peer averages. Nevertheless, the Board Members noted that
when the comparisons were made with unaffiliated funds of comparable total asset
size, such Funds were within the mid-range of that narrower Peer Group.
COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS. The Board Members further compared
the fees of NAM to the fees NAM or an affiliate thereof assessed for other types
of clients. With respect to non-municipal funds, such other clients included
separate managed accounts as well as fees charged on funds that are not offered
by Nuveen but are sub-advised by one of Nuveen's investment management teams.
With respect to the municipal funds, such other clients included clients
investing in municipal funds, such as municipal managed accounts. With respect
to separately managed accounts or municipal managed accounts, the advisory fees
for such accounts are generally lower than those charged to the comparable Fund.
The Board Members noted, however, the additional services that are provided and
the costs incurred by Nuveen in managing and operating registered investment
companies, such as the Funds, compared to individually managed separate
accounts. For instance, as described above, NAM and its affiliates provide
numerous services to the Funds including, but not limited to, preparing
shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; preparing quarterly financial
statements; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service
providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board
materials for such meetings; providing legal support; and administering all
other aspects of the Fund's operations. Further, the Board Members noted the
increased compliance requirements for funds in light of new Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations and other legislation. These services are
generally not required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts. In
addition to the differences in services, the Board Members also considered,
among other things, the differences in product distribution, investor profiles
and account sizes. Accordingly, the Board Members believe that the nature and
number of services provided to operate a Fund merit the higher fees than those
to separate managed accounts.
In considering the fees of the Sub-Advisers, the Board Members also considered
the pricing schedule the respective Sub-Adviser charges for similar investment
management services for
17
other fund sponsors or clients. In this regard, the Board Members noted that the
sub-advisory fees were at the lower end of the respective Sub-Adviser's fee
schedule.
PROFITABILITY OF FUND ADVISERS. In conjunction with its review of fees, the
Board Members also considered the profitability of NAM (which incorporated
Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers -- Rittenhouse and NWQ) as well as
the profitability of ICAP. The Board Members reviewed the respective Fund
Adviser's revenues, expenses and profitability margins (on both a pre-tax and
after-tax basis). In reviewing profitability, the Board Members recognized that
one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a
method of allocating expenses. Accordingly, the Board Members reviewed a Fund
Adviser's assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard,
the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable but the Board noted the
inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The
Board Members also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability
of other advisers is generally not publicly available. Further, profitability
may be affected by numerous factors including the types of funds managed,
expense allocations, business mix, etc., and therefore comparability of
profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the
Board Members considered the respective Fund Adviser's profit margin compared to
the profitability of various publicly-traded investment management companies
and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose some or all of
their financial results compiled by three independent third-party service
providers. The Board Members also reviewed the revenues, expenses and profit
margins of various unaffiliated advisory firms with similar amounts of assets
under management for the last year prepared by NAM. Based on their review, the
Board Members were satisfied that each Fund Adviser's level of profitability
from its relationship with each Fund was reasonable in light of the services
provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also
considered any other revenues paid to a Fund Adviser as well as any indirect
benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its
affiliates are expected to receive that are directly attributable to their
management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information.
Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund,
the Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the
respective Fund were reasonable.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF
SCALE
In reviewing the compensation, the Board Members have long understood the
benefits of economies of scale as the assets of a fund grows and have sought to
ensure that shareholders share in these benefits. One method for shareholders to
share in economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee
schedules that reduce fees as fund assets grow. Accordingly, the Board Members
received and reviewed the schedules of advisory fees for each Fund, including
fund-level breakpoints thereto. In addition, after lengthy negotiations with
management, the Board in May, 2004 approved a complex-wide fee arrangement
pursuant to which fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The
complex-wide fee arrangement was introduced on August 1, 2004 and the Board
Members reviewed data regarding the reductions of fees for the Funds for the
period of August 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. In evaluating the complex-wide
fee arrangement, the Board Members considered, among other things, the historic
and
18
expected fee savings to shareholders as assets grow, the amount of fee
reductions at various asset levels, and that the arrangement would extend to all
funds in the Nuveen complex. The Board Members also considered the impact, if
any, the complex-wide fee arrangement may have on the level of services
provided. Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that the breakpoint
schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement currently was acceptable and desirable
in providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Board Members also considered any indirect benefits or
profits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of
its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Board Members considered
any benefits from soft dollar arrangements. The Board Members noted that
although NAM manages a large amount of assets, it has very little, if any,
brokerage to allocate. This is due to the fact that NAM typically manages the
portfolios of the municipal funds in the Nuveen complex and municipal bonds
generally trade on a principal basis. Accordingly, NAM does not currently have
any soft dollar arrangements and does not pay excess brokerage commissions (or
spreads on principal transactions) in order to receive research services. With
respect to ICAP, NWQ and Rittenhouse, the Board Members considered that the
Sub-Adviser benefits from its soft dollar arrangements pursuant to which the
Sub-Adviser receives research from brokers that execute the applicable Fund's
portfolio transactions. The Board Members received and reviewed materials
concerning such Sub-Adviser's brokerage practices, including its broker
allocation policies and procedures, the types of research and brokerage services
received, the brokers providing such services, and the dollar amount of
commissions allocated to brokers for soft dollar arrangements for the last
calendar year. In considering the types of research received, the Board Members
noted that such Sub-Adviser either has already limited (or has agreed to modify
its practices to limit) the use of soft dollars to research with intellectual
content. The Board Members recognized that a Sub-Adviser's profitability may be
lower if the Sub-Adviser was required to pay for this research with hard
dollars.
In addition to soft dollar arrangements, the Board Members also considered any
other revenues, if any, received by NAM or its affiliates. In this regard, for
Funds with 12b-1 plans, the Board Members received and considered the amount of
12b-1 fees retained by Nuveen during the last calendar year. The Board Members
noted that the vast majority of the 12b-1 fees received by Nuveen are ultimately
paid to other financial advisers.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Nuveen, until recently, was a majority owned subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers.
As noted, St. Paul Travelers earlier this year announced its intention to divest
its equity stake in Nuveen. Nuveen is the parent of NAM. Pursuant to a series of
transactions, St. Paul Travelers has begun to reduce its interest in Nuveen
which will ultimately result in a change of control of Nuveen and therefore NAM.
As mandated by the 1940 Act, such a change in control would result in an
assignment of the advisory agreement with NAM and the automatic termination of
such agreement. Accordingly, the Board also considered the approval of a New
Investment Management Agreement with each Fund in light of, and which would take
effect upon, the anticipated change of control. More specifically, the Board
considered for each Fund a New Investment Management Agreement on substantially
identical terms to the existing Investment Management Agreement, to take effect
after the change of control has occurred and
19
the contract has been approved by Fund shareholders. In its review, the Board
considered whether the various transactions necessary to divest St. Paul
Travelers' interest will have an impact on the various factors they considered
in approving NAM, such as the scope and quality of services to be provided
following the change of control. In reviewing the St. Paul Travelers
transactions, the Board considered, among other things, the impact, if any, on
the operations and organizational structure of NAM; the possible benefits and
costs of the transactions to the respective Fund; the potential implications of
any arrangements used by Nuveen to finance certain of the transactions; the
ability of NAM to perform its duties after the transactions; whether a Fund's
fee structure or expense ratio would change; any changes to the current
practices of the respective Fund; any changes to the terms of the advisory
agreement; and any anticipated changes to the operations of NAM. Based on its
review, the Board determined that St. Paul Travelers' divestiture would not
affect the nature and quality of services provided by NAM, the terms of the
Investment Management Agreement, including the fees thereunder, and would not
materially affect the organization or operations of NAM. Accordingly, the Board
determined that their analysis of the various factors regarding their approval
of NAM would continue to apply after the change of control.
In addition to the foregoing, a change in control of NAM may be deemed an
assignment of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between NAM and the respective
Sub-Adviser. Further, NWQ and Rittenhouse are wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Nuveen. Accordingly, the change of control of Nuveen would also result in a
change of control of such Sub-Advisers resulting in the automatic termination of
the Original Sub-Advisory Agreements with such Sub-Advisers. The Board therefore
considered approval of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement with each Sub-Adviser in
light of the anticipated change of control. More specifically, the Board
considered approval of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement on substantially
identical terms as the respective existing Sub-Advisory Agreement, to take
effect after the change of control has occurred and the agreement has been
approved by Fund shareholders. In reviewing the impact of the St. Paul Travelers
divesture on the respective Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the same factors
as outlined previously with respect to their review of NAM. As with NAM, the
Board concluded that the St. Paul Travelers divestiture would not affect the
nature and quality of services provided by the respective Sub-Adviser, the terms
of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the fees paid thereunder, and would not
materially affect the organization or operations of the Sub-Adviser.
Accordingly, the Board determined that their analysis of the various factors
regarding their review and approval of the respective Sub-Adviser would continue
to apply following the change in control.
G. APPROVAL
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including a majority of
Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management
and Sub-Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund
Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund,
that the renewal of the NAM Investment Management Agreement and each
Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved, and that the new, post-change of
control NAM Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements be
approved and recommended to shareholders.

</Table>
(1) The numbers include share equivalents of certain Nuveen funds in which the
Board Member is deemed to be invested pursuant to the Deferred Compensation
Plan for Independent Board Members as more fully described below.
On December 31, 2004, Board Members and executive officers as a group
beneficially owned 1,196,807 shares of all funds managed by the Adviser
(includes deferred units described below and shares held by executive officers
in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each Board Member's individual
beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of each class of shares for each Fund. As of May 20, 2005,
the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than
1% of the outstanding Shares of each Fund. As of May 20, 2005, no shareholder
beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund, except as
stated in Appendix I.
29
COMPENSATION
For all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members receive an $85,000 annual
retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for attendance in person or by
telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per
day for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and
$500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance
is not required at a special, non-regularly scheduled board meeting; (c) a fee
of $1,000 per day for attendance in person at an audit committee or compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person
attendance is required and $500 per day for compliance, risk management and
regulatory oversight committee attendance by telephone or in person where
in-person attendance is not required and $750 per day for audit committee
attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required;
(d) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting
of the dividend committee; and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in
person at all other committee meetings (including ad hoc committee meetings and
shareholder meetings) on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is
held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance
by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not
required, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In
addition to the payments described above, the chairperson of each committee of
the Board (except the dividend committee and executive committee) receives
$5,000 as an addition to the annual retainer paid to such individuals. When ad
hoc committees are organized, the Board may provide for additional compensation
to be paid to the members of such committees. The annual retainer, fees and
expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser, on the basis of
relative net asset sizes although fund management may, in its discretion,
establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. The Board Member
affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser serves without any compensation from the
Funds.
The boards of certain Nuveen funds (the "Participating Funds") established a
Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members ("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 his or her fees. Each of the Funds except Arizona
Municipal, Colorado Municipal, Maryland Municipal, New Mexico Municipal,
Pennsylvania Municipal, Virginia Municipal, Georgia Municipal, Louisiana
Municipal, North Carolina Municipal, Massachusetts Municipal, Massachusetts
Insured, New Jersey Municipal, Kansas Municipal, Wisconsin Municipal, NWQ
International Value and NWQ Multi-Cap Value are Participating Funds.
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 Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds managed by the
Adviser for the calendar year ended 2004.
30
Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of the Funds, does
not receive any compensation from the Funds or any Nuveen funds.

amount of $10,000 during any calendar year.
COMMITTEES
The Board of each Trust has five standing committees: the executive committee,
the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, the dividend
committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight
committee.
Robert P. Bremner, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, serve
as members of the executive committee of each Trust. 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,
is limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly
33
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) and (ii) matters of an administrative or
ministerial nature. The number of executive committee meetings of each Trust
held during the Trust's last fiscal year is shown in Appendix J.
Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, are current
members of the dividend committee of each Trust. The dividend committee is
authorized to declare distributions on the Trust's shares including, but not
limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income
distributions. The number of dividend committee meetings of each Trust held
during the Trust's last fiscal year is shown in Appendix J.
Lawrence H. Brown, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider,
Chair, and Judith M. Stockdale are current members of the compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee of each Trust. The compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee is responsible for the
oversight of compliance issues, risk management, and other regulatory matters
affecting the Trusts which are not otherwise the jurisdiction of the other Board
committees. As part of its duties regarding compliance matters, the committee
was responsible during 2004 for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The number of compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee meetings of each Trust held during
the Trust's last fiscal year is shown in Appendix J.
Each Trust's Board has an audit committee, established in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, composed
of Independent Board Members. Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B.
Evans, Chair, William J. Schneider and Eugene S. Sunshine are current members of
the audit committee of each Trust. The audit committee is responsible for the
oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes
and practices and the audit of the financial statements of the Trusts, (2) the
quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Trusts, and (3) the
independent auditors' qualifications, performance and independence. The audit
committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Trusts' independent
auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the
Board. Commencing in 2005, the audit committee is responsible for the oversight
of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The
Boards adopted an Audit Committee Charter. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter
is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix K. The number of audit committee
meetings of each Trust held during the Trust's last fiscal year is shown in
Appendix J.
Each Trust has a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of Board
Members who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the 1940
Act) of the Funds. Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans,
William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale
and Eugene S. Sunshine are current members of the nominating and governance
committee of each Trust. The purpose of the nominating and governance committee
is to seek, identify and recommend to the Board qualified candidates for
election or appointment to each Trust's Board. In addition, the committee
oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board
performance and processes, and assignment and rotation of committee members, and
the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the
extent necessary or desirable. The committee operates under a written charter
adopted and approved by the
34
Boards, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix L. The
nominating and governance committee charter is also available on the Funds'
website at http://www.nuveen.com/mf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The number of
nominating and governance committee meetings of each Trust held during the
Trust's last fiscal year is shown in Appendix J.
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for
recommendations of qualified Board members, including current Board Members,
employees of the Adviser, current shareholders of the Funds, third party sources
and any other persons or entities that may be deemed necessary or desirable by
the committee. Shareholders of the Funds who wish to nominate a candidate to
their Trust's Board should mail information to the attention of Lorna Ferguson,
Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60606. This information must include evidence of Fund
ownership of the person or entity recommending the candidate, a full listing of
the proposed candidate's education, experience, current employment, date of
birth, names and addresses of at least three professional references,
information as to whether the candidate is an "interested person" (as such term
is defined in the 1940 Act) in relation to the Trust and such other information
that would be helpful to the nominating and governance committee in evaluating
the candidate. All satisfactorily completed information regarding candidates
will be forwarded to the chairman of the nominating and governance committee and
the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members. Recommendations for
candidates to the Board will be evaluated in light of whether the number of
Board members is expected to change and whether the Board expects any vacancies.
All nominations from Fund shareholders will be acknowledged, although there may
be times when the committee is not actively recruiting new Board members. In
those circumstances nominations will be kept on file until active recruitment is
under way.
The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate standards and
requirements for nominations to the Board. In considering a candidate's
qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including
relevant skills and experience, time availability and, if qualifying as a
non-"interested person" candidate, independence from the Adviser or other
service providers. These experience requirements may vary depending on the
current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate
range of skills and experience, in the aggregate. All candidates must meet high
expectations of personal integrity, governance experience and professional
competence that are assessed on the basis of personal interviews,
recommendations, or direct knowledge by committee members. The committee may use
any process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating candidates, which
process may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks,
written submissions by the candidates and third party references. There is no
difference in the manner in which the nominating and governance committee
evaluates nominees when the nominee is submitted by a shareholder. The
nominating and governance committee reserves the right to make the final
selection regarding the nomination of any prospective Board member.
The number of regular quarterly meetings and special meetings held by the Board
of each Trust during the Trust's last fiscal year is shown in Appendix J. During
the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Trust's
Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof) held during the
period for which such Board Member was a Board Member.

APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Each Board has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered
public accounting firm, as independent auditors to audit the books and records
of each Trust for its fiscal year. A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP will be present at the Meetings to make a statement, if such representative
so desires, and to respond to shareholders' questions. PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP has informed each Trust that it has no direct or indirect material financial
interest in each Trust, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company
sponsored by Nuveen.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Generally, the audit
committee must approve each Fund's independent auditor's engagements (i) with
the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Adviser and Adviser
Entities for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the
operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research
projects conducted by the independent auditors for each Fund and the Adviser and
Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each
Fund), such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the audit committee if they
are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the audit
committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are
expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii)
reported to the audit committee at the next audit committee meeting if they are
expected to be for an amount under $5,000.
For engagements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP entered into on or after May 6,
2003, the audit committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit
services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provided to each Fund and to the
Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial
reporting of each Fund). None of the services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP to each Fund or the Adviser or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the
audit committee pursuant to the pre-approval exception under Rule
2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. The audit committee
has considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the Adviser and Adviser Entities that were not
required to be pre-approved by the audit committee is compatible with
maintaining PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's independence.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNDERWRITER
Nuveen Investments, LLC (the "Underwriter"), located at 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund. The
underwriter is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
The Trusts generally do not hold annual shareholders' meetings, but will hold
special meetings as required or deemed desirable. Because each Trust does not
hold regular shareholders' meetings, the anticipated date of the next special
shareholders' meeting (if any) cannot be provided. Shareholders wishing to
submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent
shareholders' meeting of a Trust should send their written proposal to the Trust
at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Proposals must be received a
reasonable time before a Trust begins to print and mail its proxy materials for
the meeting.
SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board
Member should write their Fund to the attention of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of
Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago,
Illinois 60606. The letter should
47
indicate that you are a Fund shareholder. If the communication is intended for a
specific Board Member and so indicates it will be sent only to that Board
Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member it will be
sent to the chair of the nominating and governance committee and the outside
counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed
appropriate by such persons.
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 70% by Nuveen and 30% by the Funds
(allocated among the Funds based on relative net assets). Solicitation may be
made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser,
or by dealers and their representatives.
FISCAL YEAR
The last fiscal year end for all Funds in Multistate Trust I, Multistate Trust
III and Multistate Trust IV was May 31, 2004. The last fiscal year end for all
Funds in Investment Trust was June 30, 2004. The last fiscal year end for all
Funds in Investment Trust II was July 31, 2004. The last fiscal year end for all
Funds in Multistate Trust II was February 28, 2005. The last fiscal year end for
all Funds in Municipal Trust was April 30, 2005.
ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY
Annual reports will be sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following
each Fund's fiscal year end. 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.
Please note that only one annual report or proxy statement may be delivered to
two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has
received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual
report or proxy statement, or for instructions as to how to request a separate
copy of such documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies
of such documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund
at the address and phone number set forth above.
GENERAL
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that
any other items of business will be presented at the Meetings. However, if other
matters are properly presented to the Meetings 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 Meeting will
be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago,
Illinois, for inspection by any
48
shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date
of the Meetings.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any 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 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 Trust'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.

(1) The Original Investment Management Agreement for each Trust is with Nuveen
Advisory Corp. ("NAC") or Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC").
Effective January 1, 2005, NAC and NIAC were merged into NAM. As a result,
NAC and NIAC became a part of NAM and ceased to exist separately. NAM
assumed all of NAC and NIAC's obligations under the Original Investment
Management Agreements. Like NAC and NIAC, NAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Nuveen. The merger did not constitute a change in control. There was no
change in who manages the Funds or in the Funds' investment objectives or
policies as a result of the merger.

APPENDIX B
FORM OF
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Agreement made this [31st day of July 2005], by and between, <NAME OF TRUST>, a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), and NUVEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT, a
Delaware corporation (the "Adviser"), to be effective [August 1, 2005].
W I T N E S S E T H T H A T:
WHEREAS, Adviser serves as the investment manager for the Trust, an open-end
management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement
between Adviser and the Trust (as such agreement may be modified from time to
time, the "Management Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the Trust desires to retain the Adviser as its agent to furnish
investment advisory services for the Trust, upon the terms and conditions
hereafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Trust hereby employs the Adviser to act as the investment adviser
for, and to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each
of the Trust's series as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the
"Portfolios") or as may exist from time to time in accordance with the
Trust's investment objective and policies and limitations relating to
such Portfolio, and to administer the Trust's affairs to the extent
requested by and subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees of
the Trust for the period and upon the terms herein set forth. The
investment of the assets of each Portfolio shall be subject to the
Trust's policies, restrictions and limitations with respect to
securities investments as set forth in the Trust's registration
statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Investment Company Act of 1940 covering the Trust's Portfolios' shares
of beneficial interest, including the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information forming a part thereof, all as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and as from time to time amended, and
all applicable laws and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to the management of registered open-end, management
investment companies.
The Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during such period to
render such services, to furnish office facilities and equipment and
clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services (other than such
services, if any, provided by the Trust's custodian, transfer agent and
shareholder service agent, and the like) for the Trust, to permit any of
its officers or employees to serve without compensation as trustees or
officers of the Trust if elected to such positions, and to assume the
obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein provided. The
Adviser shall, for all purposes herein provided, be deemed to be an
independent contractor and, unless
B-1
otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to
act for nor represent the Trust in any way, nor otherwise be deemed an
agent of the Trust.
2. For the services and facilities described in Section 1, the Trust will
pay to the Adviser, at the end of each calendar month, an investment
management fee related to each of the Trust's Portfolios. For each
Portfolio, calculated separately, the fees shall be computed at the rate
of:
a. Each Portfolio's Management Fee will equal the sum of a Fund-Level
Fee and a Complex-Level Fee.
b. The Fund-Level Fee for each Portfolio shall be calculated pursuant to
a fee breakpoint schedule (and by reference to the daily net assets
of the Portfolio) as provided below.
<SCHEDULE FOR EACH PORTFOLIO>
c. The Complex-Level Fee shall be calculated by reference to the daily
net assets of the Eligible Funds, as defined in section 2 below (with
such daily net assets to include, in the case of Eligible Funds whose
advisory fees are calculated by reference to net assets that include
net assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by
the fund, such leveraging net assets) ("Complex-Level Assets"),
pursuant to the following annual fee schedule:
<Table>
<Caption>
---------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS ANNUAL FEE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
First $55 billion .2000%
Next $1 billion .1800%
Next $1 billion .1600%
Next $3 billion .1425%
Next $3 billion .1325%
Next $3 billion .1250%
Next $5 billion .1200%
Next $5 billion .1175%
Next $15 billion .1150%
---------------------------------------------------------------------
</Table>
With respect to Complex-Level Assets over $91 billion, both the Trust
(via its Board of Trustees) and the Adviser intend that the parties will
meet, prior to the time when Complex-Level Assets reach that level, to
consider and negotiate the fee rate or rates that will apply to such
assets. The parties agree that, in the unlikely event that Complex-Wide
Assets reach $91 billion prior to the parties reaching an agreement as
to the Complex-Level Fee rate or rates to be applied to such assets, the
Complex-Level Fee rate for such Complex-Level Assets shall be .1400%
until such time as the parties agree to a different rate or rates.
"Eligible Funds", for purposes of the Agreement, shall mean all
Nuveen-branded closed-end and open-end registered investment companies
organized in the United States. Any open-end or closed-end funds that
subsequently become part of the Nuveen complex because either (a) Nuveen
Investments, Inc. or its affiliates acquire the investment adviser to
such funds (or the adviser's parent), or (b) Nuveen Investments, Inc. or
its affiliates acquire the fund's adviser's rights
B-2
under the management agreement for such fund, will be evaluated by both
Nuveen management and the Nuveen Funds' Board, on a case-by-case basis,
as to whether or not these acquired funds would be included in the
Nuveen complex of Eligible Funds and, if so, whether there would be a
basis for any adjustments to the complex-level breakpoints.
For the month and year in which this Agreement becomes effective, or
terminates, and for any month and year in which a Portfolio is added or
eliminated from the Trust, there shall be an appropriate proration on
the basis of the number of days that the Agreement shall have been in
effect, or the Portfolio shall have existed, during the month and year,
respectively. The services of the Adviser to the Trust under this
Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free
to render similar services or other services to others so long as its
services hereunder are not impaired thereby.
3. The net asset value of each Portfolio shall be calculated as provided
in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust. On each day when net asset
value is not calculated, the net asset value of a share of beneficial
interest of a Portfolio shall be deemed to be the net asset value of
such share as of the close of business on the last day on which such
calculation was made for the purpose of the foregoing computations.
4. Regardless of any of the above provisions, the Adviser guarantees that
the total expenses of each Portfolio in any fiscal year, exclusive of
taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses such
as litigation costs, shall not exceed, and the Adviser undertakes to
pay or refund to the Portfolio any amount up to but not greater than
the aggregate fees received by the Adviser under this Agreement for
such fiscal year, the limitation imposed by any jurisdiction in which
the Trust continues to offer and sell shares of the Portfolio after
exceeding such limitation. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Trust
or the Adviser or unless otherwise required by the law or regulation of
any state, any reimbursement by the Adviser to a Portfolio under this
section shall not exceed the management fee payable to the Adviser by a
Portfolio under this Agreement.
5. The Adviser shall arrange for officers or employees of the Adviser to
serve, without compensation from the Trust, as trustees, officers or
agents of the Trust, if duly elected or appointed to such positions,
and subject to their individual consent and to any limitations imposed
by law.
6. Subject to applicable statutes and regulations, it is understood that
officers, trustees, or agents of the Trust are, or may be, interested
in the Adviser as officers, directors, agents, shareholders or
otherwise, and that the officers, directors, shareholders and agents of
the Adviser may be interested in the Trust otherwise than as trustees,
officers or agents.
7. The Adviser shall not be liable for any loss sustained by reason of the
purchase, sale or retention of any security, whether or not such
purchase, sale or retention shall have been based upon the
investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or
corporation, if such recommendation shall have been selected with due
care and in good faith, except loss resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith, or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the
performance of its
B-3
obligations and duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties under this Agreement.
8. The Adviser currently manages other investment accounts and funds,
including those with investment objectives similar to the Trust, and
reserves the right to manage other such accounts and funds in the
future. Securities considered as investments for a Portfolio of the
Trust may also be appropriate for other Portfolios or for other
investment accounts and funds that may be managed by the Adviser.
Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Adviser will attempt to
allocate equitably portfolio transactions among the Trust's Portfolios
and the portfolios of its other investment accounts and funds
purchasing securities whenever decisions are made to purchase or sell
securities by a Portfolio and another fund's portfolio or one or more
of such other accounts or funds simultaneously. In making such
allocations, the main factors to be considered by the Adviser will be
the respective investment objectives of the Trust Portfolio or
Portfolios purchasing such securities and such other accounts and
funds, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or
comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment by the
Trust Portfolios and such other accounts and funds, the size of
investment commitments generally held by the Trust Portfolios and such
accounts and funds, and the opinions of the persons responsible for
recommending investments to the Trust and such other accounts and
funds.
9. This Agreement shall continue in effect until [August 1, 2006], unless
and until terminated by either party as hereinafter provided, and shall
continue in force from year to year thereafter, but only as long as
such continuance is specifically approved, at least annually, in the
manner required by the Investment Company Act of 1940.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment, and may be terminated at any time without the payment of
any penalty by the Trust or by the Adviser upon sixty (60) days'
written notice to the other party. The Trust may effect termination by
action of the Board of Trustees, or, with respect to any Portfolio, by
vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that
Portfolio, accompanied by appropriate notice.
This Agreement may be terminated, at any time, without the payment of
any penalty, by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, or, with respect to
any Portfolio, by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of that Portfolio, in the event that it shall have been
established by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Adviser, or
any officer or director of the Adviser, has taken any action which
results in a breach of the covenants of the Adviser set forth herein.
Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the Adviser
to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation,
described in Section 2, earned prior to such termination.
10. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a
court decision, statute, rule, or otherwise, the remainder shall not be
thereby affected.
11. The Adviser and its affiliates reserve the right to grant, at any time,
the use of the name "Nuveen" or the name "Flagship", or any

(1) The fee rates shown above went into effect on August 1, 2004. Prior to
August 1, 2004, the investment management fee paid by each Fund was
calculated using the above fund-level fee rates plus 0.20% at each
breakpoint asset level. There was no complex-level component of the
investment management fee prior to August 1, 2004.
(2) Prior to January 1, 2005, investment management services were provided to
the Funds by Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC") or Nuveen Institutional Advisory
Corp. ("NIAC"). Effective January 1, 2005, NAC and NIAC were merged into
NAM. As a result, NAC and NIAC became a part of NAM and ceased to exist
separately. Prior to the reorganization, management fees were paid to NAC or
NIAC. Currently and under the New Investment Management Agreements, all
management fees will be paid to NAM. Like NAM, NAC and NIAC were wholly-
owned subsidiaries of Nuveen.
(3) Amount is net of expense reimbursements by NIAC. NIAC waived fees and
reimbursed expenses of $71,482 during the Fund's last fiscal year.
(4) Amount is net of expense reimbursements by NIAC. NIAC waived fees and
reimbursed expenses of $31,826 during the Fund's last fiscal year.
(5) Amount is net of expense reimbursements by NIAC. NIAC waived fees and
reimbursed expenses of $155,774 during the Fund's last fiscal year.

diversified, management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, Manager desires to retain Sub-Adviser as its agent to furnish
investment advisory services for each Fund, upon the terms and conditions
hereafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment. Manager hereby appoints Sub-Adviser to provide certain
sub-investment advisory services to each Fund for the period and on the
terms set forth in this Agreement. Sub-Adviser accepts such appointments
and agrees to furnish the services herein set forth for the compensation
herein provided.
2. Services to be Performed. Subject always to the supervision of Trust's
Board of Trustees and the Manager, Sub-Adviser will furnish an
investment program in respect of, make investment decisions for, and
place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for each Fund,
all on behalf of each Fund. In the performance of its duties,
Sub-Adviser will satisfy its fiduciary duties to the Trust, will monitor
each Fund's investments, and will comply with the provisions of Trust's
Declaration of Trust and By-laws, as amended from time to time, and the
stated investment objectives, policies and restrictions of each Fund.
Manager will provide Sub-Adviser with current copies of the Trust's
Declaration of Trust, By-laws, prospectus and any amendments thereto,
and any objectives, policies or limitations not appearing therein as
they may be relevant to Sub-Adviser's performance under this Agreement.
Sub-Adviser and Manager will each make its officers and employees
available to the other from time to time at reasonable times to review
investment policies of each Fund and to consult with each other
regarding the investment affairs of each Fund. Sub-Adviser will report
to the Board of Trustees and to Manager with respect to the
implementation of such program.
Sub-Adviser is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will
execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for each Fund,
and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain best execution, which
includes most favorable net results and execution of the Trust's orders,
taking into account all appropriate factors, including price, dealer
spread or commission, size and difficulty of the transaction and
research or other services provided. It is understood that the
Sub-Adviser will not be deemed to have acted unlawfully, or to have
breached a fiduciary duty to the Trust or the Funds, or be in breach of
any obligation owing to the Trust or the Funds under this Agreement, or
otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused the Trust to pay
F-1
a member of a securities exchange, a broker or a dealer a commission for
effecting a securities transaction for the Trust in excess of the amount
of commission another member of an exchange, broker or dealer would have
charged if the Sub-Adviser determined in good faith that the commission
paid was reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services
provided by such member, broker or dealer, viewed in terms of that
particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities
with respect to its accounts, including the Trust, as to which it
exercises investment discretion. In addition, if in the judgment of the
Sub-Adviser, a Fund would be benefited by supplemental services, the
Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay spreads or commissions to brokers or
dealers furnishing such services in excess of spreads or commissions
which another broker or dealer may charge for the same transaction,
provided that the Sub-Adviser determined in good faith that the
commission or spread paid was reasonable in relation to the services
provided. The Sub-Adviser will properly communicate to the officers and
trustees of the Trust such information relating to transactions for each
Fund as they may reasonably request. In no instance will portfolio
securities be purchased from or sold to the Manager, Sub-Adviser or any
affiliated person of either the Trust, Manager, or Sub-Adviser, except
as may be permitted under the 1940 Act and under no circumstances will
Sub-Adviser select brokers or dealers for Fund transactions on the basis
of Fund share sales by such brokers or dealers;
Sub-Adviser further agrees that it:
(a) will use the same degree of skill and care in providing such
services as it uses in providing services to fiduciary accounts for
which it has investment responsibilities;
(b) will conform to all applicable Rules and Regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission in all material respects and in
addition will conduct its activities under this Agreement in
accordance with any applicable regulations of any governmental
authority pertaining to its investment advisory activities;
(c) will report regularly to Manager and to the Board of Trustees of the
Trust and will make appropriate persons available for the purpose of
reviewing with representatives of Manager and the Board of Trustees
on a regular basis at reasonable times the management of the Funds,
including, without limitation, review of the general investment
strategies of the Funds, the performance of the Funds in relation to
standard industry indices and general conditions affecting the
marketplace and will provide various other reports from time to time
as reasonably requested by Manager; and
(d) will prepare such books and records with respect to each Fund's
securities transactions as requested by the Manager and will furnish
Manager and Trust's Board of Trustees such periodic and special
reports as the Board or Manager may reasonably request.
3. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Sub-Adviser will pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this
Agreement other than the cost of securities (including brokerage
commission, if any) purchased for the Trust.
F-2
4. Compensation. For the services provided and the expenses assumed
pursuant to this Agreement, Manager will pay the Sub-Adviser, and the
Sub-Adviser agrees to accept as full compensation therefor, a portfolio
management fee equal to <FEE SCHEDULE>.
The management fee shall accrue on each calendar day, and shall be
payable monthly on the first business day of the next succeeding
calendar month. The daily fee accrual shall be computed by multiplying
the fraction of one divided by the number of days in the calendar year
by the applicable annual rate of fee, and multiplying this product by
the net assets of the Trust, determined in the manner established by the
Board of Trustees, as of the close of business on the last preceding
business day on which the Trust's net asset value was determined.
For the month and year in which this Agreement becomes effective or
terminates, there shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the
number of days that the Agreement is in effect during the month and
year, respectively.
5. Services to Others. Manager understands, and has advised Trust's Board
of Trustees, that Sub-Adviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an
investment adviser to fiduciary and other managed accounts, and as
investment adviser or sub-investment adviser to other investment
companies that are not a series of the Trust, provided that whenever
each Fund and one or more other investment advisory clients of
Sub-Adviser have available funds for investment, investments suitable
and appropriate for each will be allocated in a manner believed by
Sub-Adviser to be equitable to each. Manager recognizes, and has advised
Trust's Board of Trustees, that in some cases this procedure may
adversely affect the size of the position that each Fund may obtain in a
particular security. It is further agreed that, on occasions when the
Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best
interests of each Fund as well as other accounts, it may, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the
securities to be so sold or purchased for each Fund with those to be
sold or purchased for other accounts in order to obtain favorable
execution and lower brokerage commissions. In addition, Manager
understands, and has advised Trust's Board of Trustees, that the persons
employed by Sub-Adviser to assist in Sub-Adviser's duties under this
Agreement will not devote their full such efforts and service to the
Trust. It is also agreed that the Sub-Adviser may use any supplemental
research obtained for the benefit of the Trust in providing investment
advice to its other investment advisory accounts or for managing its own
accounts.
6. Limitation of Liability. Manager will not take any action against
Sub-Adviser to hold Sub-Adviser liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with
the performance of Sub-Adviser's duties under this Agreement, except for
a loss resulting from Sub-Adviser's willful misfeasance, bad faith, or
gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
7. Term; Termination; Amendment. This Agreement shall become effective
with respect to each Fund on [August 1, 2005]; provided that it has been
approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
each Fund in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, and shall
remain in full force until [August 1, 2006] unless sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall
F-3
continue in force from year to year thereafter with respect to each
Fund, but only as long as such continuance is specifically approved for
each Fund at least annually in the manner required by the 1940 Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if the
continuation of this Agreement is not approved for each Fund, the
Sub-Adviser may continue to serve in such capacity for each Fund in the
manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any
penalty by the Manager on sixty (60) days' written notice to the
Sub-Adviser. This Agreement may also be terminated by the Trust with
respect to each Fund by action of the Board of Trustees or by a vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund on sixty
(60) days' written notice to the Sub-Adviser by the Trust.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to each Fund at any time
without the payment of any penalty by the Manager, the Board of Trustees
or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each
Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a court of
competent jurisdiction that the Sub-Adviser or any officer or director
of the Sub-Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of the
covenants of the Sub-Adviser set forth herein.
The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities" shall have the meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the
Sub-Adviser to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the
compensation described in Section 4 earned prior to such termination.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event the Investment
Management Agreement between the Manager and the Trust is terminated,
assigned or not renewed.
8. Notice. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed
and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party

9. Limitations on Liability. All parties hereto are expressly put on
notice of the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and all
amendments thereto, a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of shareholder
and trustee liability contained therein. The obligations of the Trust
entered in the name or on behalf thereof by any of the Trustees,
representatives or agents are made not individually but only in such
capacities and are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers, or
shareholders of the Trust individually but are binding upon only the
assets and property of the Trust, and persons dealing with the Trust
must look solely to the assets of the Trust and those assets belonging
to the subject Fund, for the enforcement of any claims.
10. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of
the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.
If any provision of this Agreement is held or made invalid by a court
decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement
will not be affected thereby. This Agreement will be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors.
11. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
applicable federal law and (except as to Section 9 hereof which shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of Massachusetts) the laws of
the State of Illinois.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Manager and the Sub-Adviser have caused this Agreement
to be executed as of the day and year first above written.

NUVEEN MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES
AUDIT COMMITTEES CHARTER
Revised January 18, 2005
I. ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP
There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of
the Nuveen Management Investment Companies (the "Funds" or, individually, a
"Fund") to be known as the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall be
comprised of at least three Directors/ Trustees. Audit Committee members shall
be independent of the Funds and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of
the Directors/Trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent
judgment as an Audit Committee member. In particular, each member must meet the
independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Each such member of the
Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting, be
able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and be financially
literate, and at least one such member shall have accounting or related
financial management expertise, in each case as determined by the
Directors/Trustees, exercising their business judgment (this person may also
serve as the Audit Committee's "financial expert" as defined by the Commission).
The Board shall appoint the members and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, on
the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Audit
Committee shall meet periodically but in any event no less frequently than on a
semi-annual basis. Except for the Funds, Audit Committee members shall not serve
simultaneously on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.
II. STATEMENT OF POLICY, PURPOSE AND PROCESSES
The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in oversight and monitoring of (1)
the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audits
of the financial statements, of the Funds; (2) the quality and integrity of the
financial statements of the Funds; (3) the Funds' compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, (4) the independent auditors' qualifications,
performance and independence; and (5) oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the Valuation Group. In exercising this oversight, the Audit Committee
can request other committees of the Board to assume responsibility for some of
the monitoring as long as the other committees are composed exclusively of
independent directors.
In doing so, the Audit Committee shall seek to maintain free and open means of
communication among the Directors/Trustees, the independent auditors, the
internal auditors and the management of the Funds. The Audit Committee shall
meet periodically with Fund management, the Funds' internal auditor, and the
Funds' independent auditors, in separate executive sessions. The Audit Committee
shall prepare reports of the Audit Committee as required by the Commission to be
included in the Fund's annual proxy statements or otherwise.
K-1
The Audit Committee shall have the authority and resources in its discretion to
retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Audit
Committee and to otherwise discharge its responsibilities, including appropriate
funding as determined by the Audit Committee for compensation to independent
auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or
performing other audit, review or attest services for a Fund, compensation to
advisers employed by the Audit Committee, and ordinary administrative expenses
of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its
duties, as determined in its discretion. The Audit Committee may request any
officer or employee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (or its affiliates)
(collectively, "Nuveen") or the Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel
to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Audit Committee. The Funds' independent auditors and
internal auditors shall have unrestricted accessibility at any time to Committee
members.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems
for accounting, reporting, disclosure and internal control.
The independent auditors have the primary responsibility to plan and implement
an audit, with proper consideration given to the accounting, reporting and
internal controls. Each independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing
or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services
for the Funds shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The independent
auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee. It is
the ultimate responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, appoint, retain,
evaluate, oversee and replace any independent auditors and to determine their
compensation, subject to ratification of the Board, if required. These Audit
Committee responsibilities may not be delegated to any other Committee or the
Board.
The Audit Committee is responsible for the following:
With respect to Fund financial statements:

Audit Committee a timely report on any issues relating to the

Communications (which amended SAS No. 61, Communication with Audit
Committees), that arise during the auditors' review of the Funds'
financial statements, which information the Chairman shall further
communicate to the other members of the Audit Committee, as deemed
necessary or appropriate in the Chairman's judgment.
K-2
3. Discussing with management the Funds' press releases regarding
financial results and dividends, as well as financial information and
earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. This

made. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be authorized to have
these discussions with management on behalf of the Audit Committee.
4. Discussing with management and the independent auditors (a)
significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in
connection with the preparation and presentation of the Funds'
financial statements, including any significant changes in the Funds'

special audit steps adopted in light of material control
deficiencies; and (b) analyses prepared by Fund management and/or the
independent auditor setting forth significant financial reporting
issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the
financial statements, including analyses of the effects of
alternative GAAP methods on the financial statements.
5. Discussing with management and the independent auditors the effect of
regulatory and accounting initiatives on the Funds' financial
statements.
6. Reviewing and discussing reports, both written and oral, from the
independent auditors and/or Fund management regarding (a) all
critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (b) all
alternative treatments of financial information within generally
accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with
management, ramifications of the use of such alternative treatments
and disclosures, and the treatment preferred by the independent
auditors; and (c) other material written communications between the
independent auditors and management, such as any management letter or
schedule of unadjusted differences.
7. Discussing with Fund management the Funds' major financial risk
exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control
these exposures, including the Funds' risk assessment and risk
management policies and guidelines. In fulfilling its obligations
under this paragraph, the Audit Committee may review in a general
manner the processes other Board committees have in place with
respect to risk assessment and risk management.
8. Reviewing disclosures made to the Audit Committee by the Funds'
principal executive officer and principal financial officer during
their certification process for the Funds' periodic reports about any
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving
management or other employees who have a significant role in the
Funds' internal controls. In fulfilling its obligations under this
paragraph, the Audit Committee may review in a general manner the
processes other Board committees have in place with respect to
deficiencies in internal controls, material weaknesses, or any fraud
associated with internal controls.
K-3
With respect to the independent auditors:

non-audit services described in Section 10A of the Exchange Act that

adopted by the Board or the Audit Committee. The Chairman of the
Audit Committee shall be authorized to give pre-approvals of such
non-audit services on behalf of the Audit Committee.
4. Obtaining and reviewing a report or reports from the independent
auditors at least annually (including a formal written statement

independent auditor's internal quality-control procedures; (b) any
material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control
