Important Notice to Fund Shareholders
 
OCTOBER   , 2008
 
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. You are receiving this Proxy Statement as a Fund shareholder in connection with the annual shareholders meeting for the Nuveen closed-end funds listed at the top of the Notice to Shareholders.
 
You are being asked to vote on one or more important matters affecting your investment in the Fund:
 
  (i)    Updated Investment Policies (all Municipal Funds, excluding Insured Funds).  Nuveen’s municipal closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies (the “New Investment Policies”). In general, these funds currently have a somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting when the funds were launched over the past 20 years as well as developments over time in the municipal market, including new types of securities as well as investment strategies.
 
  (ii)   Elimination of certain Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Investment Policy (Insured Funds only).  Insured Fund shareholders are being asked to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment policies and to approve a new fundamental policy. These changes are designed to give the Insured Funds important flexibility to respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market while maintaining their current focus on insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings. In addition, the Insured Funds are also seeking to adopt uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies.
 
  (iii)  Approval of Fund Board Nominees (all Funds).  Each year, you and other Fund shareholders must approve the election of Board members to serve on your Fund’s Board. This is a requirement for all funds that list their common shares on a stock exchange. The Funds described in this proxy statement are holding their annual shareholders meetings at which Board members will be elected. The list of specific nominees is contained in the enclosed Proxy Statement.
 
Your Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, including your Board’s independent members, unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each proposal.
 
Your vote is very important. We encourage you as a shareholder to participate in your Fund’s governance by returning your vote as soon as possible. If enough shareholders don’t cast their votes, your Fund may not be able to hold its meeting or the vote on each issue, and will be required to incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain sufficient shareholder participation.
 
Q. What are the potential benefits of the New Investment Policies for common shareholders of the Municipal Funds?
 
A. The potential benefits to common shareholders are:
 
• Enhanced ability of the Municipal Funds to generate attractive tax-free income while retaining their orientation on investment grade quality municipal securities;
 
• Increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible

 

growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build net asset value; and
 
• Improved secondary market competitiveness that may lead to a higher relative market price and/or stronger premium/discount performance.
 
Q. What are the potential benefits of the New Investment Policies for preferred shareholders of the Municipal Funds?
 
A. The potential benefits to preferred shareholders are increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build net asset value and therefore asset coverage levels for preferred shares.
 
Q. What actions are required in order to implement the New Investment Policies?
 
A. In order to implement the New Investment Policies and obtain the potential benefits described above, each Municipal Fund must make certain changes to its existing policies, including certain fundamental policies that require approval of shareholders. In some cases, this may require shareholder approval of the elimination of an existing fundamental policy as well as the implementation of a new replacement fundamental policy. Because each Municipal Fund tends to be situated somewhat differently, the specific changes required to implement the New Investment Policies often vary from fund to fund.
 
Q. Why are shareholders of the Insured Funds being asked to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment policies and to approve a new fundamental investment policy?
 
A. As a result of conditions facing the bond insurance market, shareholders are being asked to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment policies that are restricting, or may be expected in the future to restrict, each Insured Fund’s ability to effectively maintain its existing focus on insured bonds backed respectively by insurers with solid credit ratings. In connection with eliminating the respective fundamental investment policies, shareholders are being asked to approve a new fundamental investment policy that will provide the Insured Funds with flexibility to respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market, while ensuring that the Insured Funds continue to invest substantially all (at least 80%) of their investments in insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.
 
Q. What happens if shareholders don’t approve the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and/or don’t approve the new fundamental investment policies?
 
A. A Municipal Fund or an Insured Fund will not be able to implement the new investment policies discussed above. The Municipal Fund or Insured Fund would likely incur further expenses to solicit additional shareholder participation, and may experience potential disruptions to its investment operations. The Municipal Funds’ and Insured Funds’ Boards urge you to vote without delay in order to avoid the potential for higher costs and/or disruptions to portfolio operations.
 
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 Computershare Fund Services, your Fund’s proxy solicitor, at (866)          -          . Please have your proxy material available when you call.

 

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 from Computershare Fund Services, the proxy solicitor hired by your Fund, to verify that you received your proxy materials, to answer any questions you may have about the proposals and to encourage you to vote your proxy.
 
We recognize the inconvenience of the proxy solicitation process and would not impose on you if we did not believe that the matters being proposed were important and in the best interests of the Fund’s shareholders. Once your vote has been registered with the proxy solicitor, your name will be removed from the solicitor’s follow-up contact list.

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (except California Value), 331/3% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
 
For each Fund, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the Board Members of that Fund. For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each Fund, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the approval of the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the adoption of the new fundamental investment policies for California Value, a change will only be consummated if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund. For purposes of determining the approval of the

7

 

elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the adoption of the new fundamental investment policies for the Insured Funds and Municipal Funds, except California Value, a change will only be consummated if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund’s Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, and by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class. For this purpose, a majority of the outstanding shares means, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Annual Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, whichever is less. For purposes of determining the approval of the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental investment policies, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal.
 
Preferred Shares held in “street name” as to which voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote as of one business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, and that would otherwise be treated as “broker non-votes” may, pursuant to Rule 452 of the New York Stock Exchange, be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares as a class who have voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares of the Fund who have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item and (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares against such item. For the purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as shares “voted” and, for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares “voted” against the item.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on September 22, 2008 will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held. As of September 22, 2008, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

The number of shares of each Fund beneficially owned by each Board Member and by the Board Members and officers of the Funds as a group as of December 31, 2007 is set forth in Appendix A. On December 31, 2007, Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned approximately [1,700,000] shares of all funds managed by NAM (including shares held by the Board Members through the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members and by executive officers in Nuveen’s 401(k)/profit sharing plan). [As of September 22, 2008, each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.] [As of September 22, 2008, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.] [As of September 22, 2008, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund.]

In connection with the transaction, Mr. Amboian paid $30 million to acquire interests in Windy City Investments Holdings, L.L.C., the parent company of Windy City.
 
Compensation
 
Prior to January 1, 2008, for all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members received a $95,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $3,000 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $2,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone where in-person attendance is required and $1,500 per meeting 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 $1,500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at an audit committee meeting; (d) a fee of $1,500 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting; (e) a fee of $1,500 per meeting for attendance in person at a non-regularly scheduled compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $1,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required, except that the chairperson of the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee may at any time designate a non-regularly scheduled meeting of the committee as an in-person meeting for the purposes of fees to be paid; (f) a fee of $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (g) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance in person at all other committee meetings (including shareholder meetings) on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such committee meetings (excluding shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required and $100 per meeting when the executive committee acts as pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the payments described above, the Lead Independent Director received $25,000, the chairpersons of the audit committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee received $7,500 and the chairperson of the nominating and governance committee


19

 

received $5,000 as additional retainers to the annual retainer paid to such individuals. Independent Board Members also received a fee of $2,000 per day for site visits to entities that provide services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held. When ad hoc committees are organized, the nominating and governance committee will at the time of formation determine compensation to be paid to the members of such committee, however, in general such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person at any ad hoc committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required. The annual retainer, fees and expenses were 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.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, for all funds in the Nuveen complex, Independent Board Members receive a $100,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $3,250 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and $1,500 per meeting 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 $2,000 per meeting for attendance in person or $1,500 per meeting for by telephone at an audit committee meeting; (d) a fee of $2,000 per meeting for attendance at a regularly scheduled compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting for regular quarterly meetings and $1,000 per meeting for attendance of other, non-quarterly meetings; (e) a fee of $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (f) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance in person at all other committee meetings, $1,000 for attendance at shareholder meetings, on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such committee meetings (excluding shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required and $100 per meeting when the executive committee acts as pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the payments described above, the Independent Chairman receives $50,000 and the Lead Independent Director, if any, receives $35,000, the chairpersons of the audit committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee receive $7,500 and the chairperson of the nominating and governance committee receives $5,000 as additional retainers to the annual retainer paid to such individuals. Independent Board Members also receive a fee of $2,500 per day for site visits to entities that provide services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held. When ad hoc committees are organized, the nominating and governance committee will at the time of formation determine compensation to be paid to the members of such committee, however, in general such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person at any ad hoc committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required. 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


20

 

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.

The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, 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 last calendar year.

Committees
 
The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the executive committee, the dividend committee, the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee, the audit committee and the nominating and governance committee.
 
John P. Amboian, Robert P. Bremner, Chair, and Judith M. Stockdale serve as current members of the executive committee of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, is limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the executive committee) and (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. The number of executive committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B.
 
Jack B. Evans, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Terence J. Toth are current members of the dividend committee of each Fund. The dividend committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Fund’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 Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B.
 
William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Carole E. Stone are current members of the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund. The compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management, and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds which are not otherwise the jurisdiction of the other Board committees. The number of compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B.
 
Each Fund’s Board has an audit committee, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), that is composed of Independent Board Members who are also “independent” as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, David J. Kundert, Chair, and William J. Schneider are current members of the audit committee of each Fund. The audit committee is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, procedures and practices and the audit of the financial statements of the Funds, (2) the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the Board. The audit committee is also responsible for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The Boards have adopted a written Audit Committee Charter that conforms to the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix C. The number of audit committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B.
 
Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of Independent Board Members who are also “independent” as defined by New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Carole E. Stone and Terence J. Toth are current members of the nominating and governance committee of each Fund. 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 Fund’s Board. In addition, the committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board

26

 

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 Boards of each Fund, a copy of which is available on the Funds’ website at www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The number of nominating and governance committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B.
 
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for recommendations of qualified candidates, 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 Fund’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 Fund 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 an Independent Board Member 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 candidates when the candidate 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 Fund during the Fund’s last fiscal year is shown in Appendix B. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Fund’s Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof) held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board Members at annual meetings of the Funds and the number of Board Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds’ website at www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundgovernance.aspx.

(1) Length of Time Served indicates the year the individual became an officer of a fund in the Nuveen fund complex.
 
(2) Nuveen Advisory Corp. and Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. were reorganized into Nuveen Asset Management, effective January 1, 2005.
 
2.   Approval of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Policies for each Municipal Fund
 
The Municipal Funds have adopted certain fundamental investment policies relating to (i) investments in municipal securities and below investment grade securities, (ii) investments in other investment companies and (iii) investments in derivatives, short sales and commodities as described below (together, the “Current Fundamental Policies,” and each, a “Current Fundamental Policy”), that can only be changed by shareholder vote. The Current Fundamental Policies adopted by the Municipal Funds reflected industry and other market conditions present at the time of the inception of each Fund.
 
Nuveen’s municipal closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies (the “New Investment Policies”). In general, the funds currently have a somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting when the funds were launched over the past 20 years as well as developments over time in the municipal market, including new types of securities as well as investment strategies. The potential benefits to you as a fund shareholder of the New Investment Policies are:
 
•  enhanced ability of the Municipal Funds to generate attractive levels of tax-exempt income, while retaining the Municipal Funds’ orientation on investment grade quality municipal securities;
 
•  increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build common shareholder net asset value and asset coverage levels for preferred shares; and
 
•  improved secondary market competitiveness which may benefit common shareholders through higher relative market price and/or stronger premium/discount performance.

In order to implement the New Investment Policies, each Municipal Fund must make certain changes to its existing policies, including certain fundamental policies that require your vote of approval. In some cases, this may require your separate votes to approve the elimination of a Current Fundamental Policy as well as the implementation of a new, replacement fundamental policy (together, the “New Fundamental Policies” and each, a “New Fundamental Policy”). Because each Municipal Fund tends to be situated somewhat differently, the specific changes required to implement the New Investment Policies often vary from fund to fund.
 
The primary purposes of these changes are to provide the Municipal Funds with increased investment flexibility and to create consistent investment policies for all Nuveen municipal bond funds to promote operational efficiencies. Implementation of the New Fundamental Policy is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the corresponding Current Fundamental Policy.
 
The Board has unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of each Municipal Fund, the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies of the Municipal Funds. In connection with eliminating the Current Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of each Municipal Fund of the New Fundamental Policies, described below. In addition, the Board has approved certain new non-fundamental policies, described below (the “New Non-Fundamental Policies”).
 
  a.   Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Investments in Municipal Securities and Below Investment Grade Securities
 
The Current Fundamental Policies with respect to each Municipal Fund’s investments in municipal securities and the ability to invest in below investment grade securities that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Arizona Dividend Advantage, Arizona Dividend Advantage 2, Connecticut Dividend Advantage, Georgia Dividend Advantage, Maryland Dividend Advantage, Maryland Dividend Advantage 2, Massachusetts Dividend Advantage, Michigan Dividend Advantage, New Jersey Dividend Advantage, North Carolina Dividend Advantage, North Carolina Dividend Advantage 2, Ohio Dividend Advantage, Ohio Dividend Advantage 2, Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage, Virginia Dividend Advantage and Virginia Dividend Advantage 2
 
(1) Under normal [circumstances/market conditions], the Fund will invest its net assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular federal and [State] income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt municipal bonds.
 
Arizona Dividend Advantage 3, Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2, Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3, Georgia Dividend Advantage 2, Maryland Dividend Advantage 3, New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2, North Carolina Dividend Advantage 3, Ohio Dividend Advantage 3 and Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2
 
(1) The Fund [as a fundamental policy] may not, under normal circumstances, invest less than 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings for investment

(“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”), or in unrated [State] Municipal Obligations which, in the opinion of the Adviser, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and will be of comparable quality to, [State] Municipal Obligations rated within the four highest grades by Moody’s or S&P, provided that the Fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in such unrated [State] Municipal Obligations.
 
(2) The Fund will not invest in any rated [State] Municipal Obligations that are rated lower than Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P at the time of purchase.
 
California Dividend Advantage
 
(1) The Fund will invest its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular Federal and California income tax. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt municipal bonds.
 
(2) The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade quality municipal bonds.
 
(3) The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, Ba/BB or B by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Advisory.
 
California Dividend Advantage 2 and California Dividend Advantage 3
 
(1) The Fund will invest its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular Federal and California income tax. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt municipal bonds.
 
California Investment Quality, California Market Opportunity, California Performance Plus, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Quality Income, Michigan Quality Income, New Jersey Investment Quality and Pennsylvania Investment Quality
 
(1) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary investments as described in [the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information], the Fund will, as


34

 

a fundamental policy, invest substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in tax-exempt [State] municipal bonds that are rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s, except that the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated [State] municipal bonds which, in Nuveen Advisory’s opinion, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and are of comparable quality to, municipal bonds so rated.
 
California Value
 
(1) Except during temporary defensive periods, the Fund will, as a fundamental policy, invest 100% of its net assets in tax-exempt California Municipal Obligations, of which 80% will be Municipal Obligations rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s or S&P.
 
(2) The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in unrated California Municipal Obligations or in California Municipal Obligations rated lower than the four highest grades, but no more than half of this amount (10% of the Fund’s net assets) will be invested in such lower rated California Municipal Obligations.
 
(3) The Fund will only invest in unrated California Municipal Obligations which, in the opinion of the Adviser, have credit characteristics equivalent to Obligations rated Baa or BBB or better. The Fund will not invest in any rated California Municipal Obligations that are rated lower than Ba by Moody’s or BB by S&P at the time of purchase.
 
California Quality Income and California Select Quality
 
(1) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary investments as described in [the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information], the Fund will, as a fundamental policy, invest substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in tax-exempt California municipal bonds that are rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s, except that the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated California municipal bonds which, in Nuveen Advisory’s opinion, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and are of comparable quality to, California municipal bonds so rated.
 
  b.   Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Investments in Municipal Securities
 
The following New Fundamental Policies will replace each Municipal Fund’s Current Fundamental Policies (1) referenced in 2a. above. Implementation of the following New Fundamental Policy by each Municipal Fund is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of each Municipal Fund’s Current Fundamental Policies. The proposed New Fundamental Policy with respect to each Fund’s investments in municipal securities is as follows:
 
All Municipal Funds
 
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) or any preferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”) in municipal securities and other related


35

 

investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal [and state] income taxes.
 
In addition, the Board has adopted New Non-Fundamental Policies with respect to investing in investment grade securities for each Municipal Fund. The New Non-Fundamental Policies will be implemented upon the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies described in 2a. above for the Municipal Funds that currently have different fundamental policies relating to investing in investment grade securities. The New Non-Fundamental Policies relating to investing in investment grade securities are as follows:
 
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser (“NAM”).
 
(2) The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that at the time of investment are rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by NAM.
 
(3) No more than 10% of the Fund’s Managed Assets may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by NAM.
 
Related to these changes, the Board of each Municipal Fund has also amended and standardized the description of “municipal securities” or “municipal obligations” in which a Municipal Fund may invest to include various types of municipal securities. The new description, tailored as appropriate to each Municipal Fund, generally provides:
 
The Fund may invest in various municipal securities, including municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance and refinance public projects, and other related securities and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities that provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from federal [and State] income tax[es] (“Municipal Obligations”). Municipal Obligations are generally debt obligations issued by state and local governmental entities and may be issued by U.S. territories to finance or refinance public projects such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. Municipal Obligations may also be issued for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation, electric utility and pollution control projects. Municipal Obligations may be issued on a long term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or special tax, or any other revenue source including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and mortgage payments. Municipal Obligations may also be issued to finance projects on a short term interim basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds on long term debt. Municipal Obligations may be issued and purchased in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or non-callable; with payment forms including fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities; or acquired


36

 

through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships or other investment companies. Inverse floating rate securities are securities that pay interest at rates that vary inversely with changes in prevailing short-term tax-exempt interest rates and represent a leveraged investment in an underlying municipal security, which may increase the effective leverage of the Fund.
 
c.  Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Commodities
 
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to commodities that are proposed to be eliminated are as follow:
 
Arizona Premium Income, California Investment Quality, California Market Opportunity, California Value, California Performance Plus, California Quality Income, California Select Quality, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Quality Income, Maryland Premium Income, Michigan Premium Income, Michigan Quality Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Premium Income, Pennsylvania Investment Quality and Texas Quality Income
 
(1) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts within the limits described under “Certain Trading Strategies of the Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income, Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri Premium Income, North Carolina Premium Income, Ohio Quality Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 and Virginia Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
d.  Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Commodities
 
It is proposed that each Premium/Quality Fund adopt a New Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities. The adoption of the following New Fundamental Policy for each Premium/Quality Fund is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Premium/Quality Fund’s Current Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities, as reflected in 2c above. The proposed New Fundamental Policy is as follows:
 
All Premium/Quality Funds
 
(1) The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts or derivative
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


37

 

instruments or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).
 
e.  Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Derivatives and Short Sales
 
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Arizona Premium Income, California Investment Quality, California Market Opportunity, California Performance Plus, California Quality Income, California Select Quality, Florida Investment Quality, Florida Quality Income, Maryland Premium Income, Michigan Premium Income, Michigan Quality Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Premium Income, Pennsylvania Investment Quality and Texas Quality Income
 
(1) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described [in/under] “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(2) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options except within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
California Value
 
(1) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described under “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income, Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri Premium Income, North Carolina Premium Income, Ohio Quality Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 and Virginia Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(2) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


38

 

described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
In connection with the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales, as reflected in 2c above, the Board has adopted the following New Non-Fundamental Policies for each of the above Premium/Quality Funds. The New Non-Fundamental Policies are contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Premium/Quality Fund’s Current Fundamental Policies with respect to derivatives and short sales. The New Non-Fundamental Polices are as follows:
 
(1) The Fund may invest in derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include financial futures contracts, swap contracts (including interest rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments. NAM uses derivatives to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset.
 
(2) The Fund may not sell securities short, unless the Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold at no added cost, and provided that transactions in options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, or other derivative instruments are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.
 
(3) The Fund may not enter into futures contracts or related options or forward contracts, if more than 30% of the Fund’s net assets would be represented by futures contracts or more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets would be committed to initial margin deposits and premiums on futures contracts and related options.
 
  f.   Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investment in Other Investment Companies
 
The Current Fundamental Policies of the Premium/Quality Funds relating to investments in other investment companies that are proposed to be eliminated are noted below. The Premium/Quality Funds do not have specific restrictions as to investments in other investment companies. However, each Premium/Quality Fund has an investment policy which only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments and thereby prohibits investment in other investment companies. The general restriction that only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments is as follows:
 
All Premium/Quality Funds, except California Value
 
(1) The Fund may not invest in securities other than [state] Municipal Obligations and temporary investments[,] as described [in/under] “Investment Objective and Policies [of the Funds] — Portfolio Investments.”*
 
California Value
 
(1) The Fund may not invest in securities other than California Municipal Obligations and temporary investments, as those terms are defined [in the Fund’s Prospectus.]
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


39

 

In addition, with respect to each Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies, the Board has adopted a New Non-Fundamental Policy to be implemented upon the elimination of that Premium/Quality Fund’s Current Fundamental Policy that only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments. The proposed New Non-Fundamental Policy relating to investments in other investment companies is as follows:
 
(1) The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (often referred to as “ETFs”)) that invest primarily in municipal securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.
 
Board Recommendation
 
The Board believes that eliminating the Current Fundamental Policies and adopting the New Investment Policies gives the Adviser flexibility to rapidly respond to continuing developments in the municipal market and would enhance the portfolio managers’ ability to meet each Municipal Fund’s investment objective. In addition, the Board believes that the proposed changes will create consistent investment policies for all Nuveen municipal bond funds and will help to promote operational efficiencies.
 
The Board recommends that shareholders of each Municipal Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Current Fundamental Policy and vote to approve each New Fundamental Policy.
 
3.   Approval of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Policy for Each Insured Fund
 
The Insured Funds have adopted certain fundamental investment policies, as described below (together, “Insured Fundamental Policies,” each an “Insured Fundamental Policy”), that can only be changed by shareholder vote. The Insured Fundamental Policies adopted by the Insured Funds reflected industry conditions present in the municipal bond market at the time of the inception of each Fund.
 
Since that time, however, deterioration in the credit quality of securities backed by sub-prime residential mortgages has disrupted many markets and companies, including bond insurers, who in addition to insuring municipal bonds, have also provided guarantees on these mortgage-related securities. As a result, the financial strength ratings of certain municipal bond insurers have come under greater scrutiny. The ratings assigned to some municipal bond insurers either have been downgraded or are being reviewed for possible downgrades by certain of the primary ratings agencies.
 
Additionally, all of Nuveen’s municipal closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies, as described in 2 above. In general, the funds currently have a somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting when the funds were launched over the past 20 years as well as developments over time in the municipal market, including new types of securities as well as investment strategies.
 
As a result of these conditions facing the bond insurance market and the developments of the municipal market, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the


40

 

approval by each Insured Fund’s shareholders of the elimination of certain Insured Fundamental Policies of the Insured Funds that are restricting, or may be expected in the future to restrict, each Insured Fund’s ability to effectively make investments. In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of a new fundamental policy, described below (each a “New Insured Fundamental Policy”). Implementation of the New Insured Fundamental Policy, with respect to each Insured Fund, is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of such Insured Fund’s Insured Fundamental Policy or Insured Fundamental Policies, as applicable. In addition, the Board has approved new non-fundamental policies, described below (the “New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies” and together with the New Insured Fundamental Policy, the “New Insured Policies”). The New Insured Policies are designed to provide portfolio managers with important flexibility to respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market, while ensuring the Insured Funds continue to invest substantially all (at least 80%) of their municipal investments in insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.
 
  a.   Elimination of Insured Fundamental Policies Relating to Investments in Insured Municipal Securities
 
The Insured Fundamental Policies of each Insured Fund that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Insured California Dividend Advantage
 
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular federal and California income taxes and that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.
 
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
 
(1) Except to the extent the Fund invests in temporary investments, the Fund will invest all of its assets in tax-exempt [State] Municipal Obligations which are either covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon or backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest.
 
(2) Each insured [State] Municipal Obligation held by the Fund will either be (1) covered by an insurance policy applicable to a specific security, whether obtained by the issuer of the security or a third party at the time of original issuance (“Original Issue Insurance”) by the Fund or a third party subsequent to the time of original issuance (“Secondary Market Insurance”), or (2) covered by a master municipal insurance policy purchased by the Fund (“Portfolio Insurance”).
 
(3) The Fund will only obtain policies of portfolio insurance issued by insurers whose claims-paying ability is rated “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“Standard & Poor’s”).
 
(4) Municipal obligations backed by an escrow account or trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s assets.


41

 

Insured California Tax-Free Advantage, Insured Florida Tax Free Advantage and Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage
 
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”) in a portfolio of municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and [State] income tax and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals [and are exempt from the Florida intangible personal property tax](Insured Florida Tax Free Advantage only).
 
(2) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”) in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.
 
  b.   Approval of the New Insured Fundamental Policy Relating to Investments in Insured Municipal Securities
 
In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board of each Insured Fund has unanimously approved, and recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund approve, a New Insured Fundamental Policy relating to each Insured Fund’s policy of investing 80% (or greater) of its assets in a portfolio of municipal securities or related investments that pay tax-exempt interest. The New Insured Fundamental Policy will replace each Insured Fund’s Insured Fundamental Policy or Insured Fundamental Policies, as described above. Implementation of the New Insured Fundamental Policy is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the Insured Fundamental Policy or Insured Fundamental Policies for each Insured Fund, as applicable. The New Insured Fundamental Policy is as follows:
 
(1) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) or preferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”), in municipal securities and other related investments that pay interest exempt from federal and [State] income taxes (“municipal securities”) and are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.
 
New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies
 
In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board of each Insured Fund has also adopted New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies, as described below. To the extent that the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies conflict with the existing Insured Fundamental Policies, implementation of the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the Insured Fundamental Policies. To the extent such Insured Non-Fundamental Policies do not conflict with the existing Insured Fundamental Policies, the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies have already been implemented. By eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies and adopting the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies, each Insured Fund would be able to change these policies in the future with the approval of the Board, without the need to obtain prior shareholder approval.


42

 

The New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies that the Board of each Insured Fund has adopted are as follows:
 
(1) Inverse floaters whose underlying bonds are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon are included in the above-referenced 80% test. In addition, for the 80% test above, insurers must have a claims-paying ability rated at least A by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) at the time of purchase or at the time the bond is insured while in the portfolio.**
 
(2) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities covered by insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated AA or better by an NRSRO at the time of purchase; municipal securities rated AA or better by an NRSRO, or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser, at the time of purchase; or municipal bonds backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest.
 
(3) Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities covered by insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated BBB or better by an NRSRO; or municipal securities rated at least BBB or better by an NRSRO, or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser, at the time of purchase.
 
c.  Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Commodities
 
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to commodities that are proposed to be eliminated are as follow:
 
Insured California Premium Income and Insured Florida Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of the Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
Insured California Premium Income 2
 
(1) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
d.  Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Commodities
 
It is proposed that Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income adopt a New Insured Fundamental Policy with
 
 
** The above referenced 80% test refers to the new fundamental policy proposed in item 3(b).
*  References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


43

 

respect to commodities. The adoption of the following New Insured Fundamental Policy for each applicable Insured Fund is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Insured Fund’s Current Insured Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities, as reflected in 3c above. The proposed New Insured Fundamental Policy is as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts or derivative instruments or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities)
 
e.  Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Derivatives and Short Sales
 
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income and Insured Florida Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(2) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options except within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
Insured California Premium Income 2
 
(1) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(2) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
In connection with the elimination of the Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales, as reflected in 3e above, the Board has adopted the following New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies for each of Insured California Premium Income,
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


44

 

Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income. The New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies are contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Insured Fund’s Current Fundamental Policies with respect to derivatives and short sales. The New Insured Non-Fundamental Polices are as follows:
 
(1) The Fund may not sell securities short, unless the Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold at no added cost, and provided that transactions in options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, or other derivative instruments are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.
 
(2) The Fund may invest in derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include financial futures contracts, swap contracts (including interest rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments. NAM uses derivatives to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset.
 
(3) The Fund may not enter into futures contracts or related options or forward contracts, if more than 30% of the Fund’s net assets would be represented by futures contracts or more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets would be committed to initial margin deposits and premiums on futures contracts and related options.
 
  f.   Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investment in Other Investment Companies
 
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies of Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income relating to investments in other investment companies that are proposed to be eliminated are noted below. Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income do not have specific restrictions as to investments in other investment companies. However, each such Fund has an investment policy which only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments and thereby prohibiting investment in other investment companies. The general restriction that only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments is as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund may not invest in securities other than [state] Municipal Obligations and temporary investments, as described in “Investment Objective and Policies — Portfolio Investments.”*
 
In addition, with respect to each Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies, the Board has adopted a New Insured Non-Fundamental Policy to be implemented upon the elimination of Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income’s Current Fundamental Policy prohibiting
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


45

 

investments in other investment companies. The proposed New Insured Non-Fundamental Policy relating to investments in other investment companies is as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income, Insured California Premium Income 2 and Insured Florida Premium Income
 
(1) The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (often referred to as “ETFs”)) that invest primarily in municipal securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.
 
Board Recommendation
 
The Board believes that eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies and adopting the New Insured Policies gives the Adviser flexibility to rapidly respond to continuing developments in the bond insurance market and would enhance the portfolio managers’ ability to meet each Insured Fund’s investment objective and keep each Fund fully invested. While the Board believes that the New Insured Policies give the Adviser adequate flexibility under current market conditions, if the market changes in the future, the Insured Funds may desire to refine these parameters further and the Board may change the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies without shareholder approval.
 
The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Insured Fundamental Policy and vote to approve the New Insured Fundamental Policy.
 
Audit Committee Report
 
The audit committee of each Board 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 each Fund, and (2) the quality and integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the committee reviews each Fund’s annual financial statements with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm and the committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditors to consider their evaluation of each Fund’s financial and internal controls. The committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee is currently composed of four Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by each Board, a copy of which is attached as Appendix C. Each committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has represented to the independent registered public accounting firm that each Fund’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No. 61

(Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by SAS No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications). Each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm provided to the committee the written disclosure required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm their firm’s independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the committee’s responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund’s financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Based on the committee’s review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the representations of management and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the committee, the committee has recommended that the Boards include the audited financial statements in each Fund’s Annual Report.
 
The current members of the committee are:
 
Robert P. Bremner
Jack B. Evans (financial expert)
David J. Kundert
William J. Schneider

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the audit committee must approve each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm’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 registered public accounting firm 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.
 
The audit committee has approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm 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 the independent registered accounting firm 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.
 
Additional Information
 
Appointment of the Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
 
Each Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of each Fund for its current fiscal year. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the Annual Meetings to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders’ questions. Ernst & Young LLP has informed each Fund that it has no direct or indirect material financial interest in the Funds, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Interest Reporting Compliance
 
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act require Board Members and officers, the Adviser, affiliated persons of the Adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that Fund’s shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange, as applicable. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that its Board Members and officers, investment adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the knowledge of management of the Funds, no shareholder of a Fund owns more than 10% of a registered class of a Fund’s equity securities.
 
Information About the Adviser
 
The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, serves as investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen.


54

 

Nuveen is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Windy City, a corporation formed by investors led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC (“MDP”), a private equity investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Windy City is controlled by MDP on behalf of the Madison Dearborn Capital Partner V funds. Other owners of Windy City include Merrill Lynch & Co.’s Global Private Equity group and affiliates (including private equity funds) of Wachovia, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank.
 
Shareholder Proposals
 
To be considered for presentation at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Funds to be held in 2009, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than June 8, 2009. A shareholder wishing to provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 must, pursuant to each Fund’s By-Laws, submit such written notice to the Fund not later than August 21, 2009 or prior to August 6, 2009. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.
 
Shareholder Communications
 
Fund shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write to the attention of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The letter should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder and note the fund or funds that you own. 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 and so indicates it will be sent to the [Independent Chairman] 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 will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number of shareholder accounts. Additional solicitation may be made by letter or telephone by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by dealers and their representatives. Any additional costs of solicitation will be paid by the Fund that requires additional solicitation. The Funds, with the exception of Floating Rate, Floating Rate Income Opportunity, Senior Income and Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate, have engaged Computershare Fund Services to assist in the solicitation of proxies at an estimated cost of $2,000 per Fund plus reasonable expenses.

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 Annual Meetings. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual 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 Annual Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours beginning ten days prior to the date of the Annual Meeting.
 
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund’s By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.


56

 

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.

Appendix C
 
NUVEEN FUND BOARD
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
 
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 exchanges on which shares of the Funds are listed, 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.
 
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

C-1

 

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:
 
  A.  Reviewing and discussing the annual audited financial statements and semi-annual financial statements with Fund management and the independent auditors including major issues regarding accounting and auditing principles and practices, and the Funds’ disclosures in its periodic reports under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”
 
  B.  Requiring the independent auditors to deliver to the Chairman of the Audit Committee a timely report on any issues relating to the significant accounting policies, management judgments and accounting estimates or other matters that would need to be communicated under Statement on Auditing Standards (sas) No. 90, Audit Committee 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.
 
  C.  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 discussion may be done generally, consisting of discussing the types of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations to be made. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be authorized to have these discussions with management on behalf of the Audit Committee.
 
  D.  Discussing with management and the independent auditors (a) significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation and


C-2

 

  presentation of the Funds’ financial statements, including any significant changes in the Funds’ selection or application of accounting principles and any major issues as to the adequacy of the Funds’ internal controls and any 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.
 
  E.  Discussing with management and the independent auditors the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives on the Funds’ financial statements.
 
  F.  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.
 
  G.  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.
 
  H.  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.
 
With respect to the independent auditors:
 
  A.  Selecting, appointing, retaining or replacing the independent auditors, subject, if applicable, only to Board and shareholder ratification; and compensating, evaluating and overseeing the work of the independent auditor (including the resolution of disagreements between Fund management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting).
 
  B.  Meeting with the independent auditors and Fund management to review the scope, fees, audit plans and staffing for the audit, for the current year. At the conclusion of the audit, reviewing such audit results, including the independent auditors’ evaluation of the Funds’ financial and internal controls, any comments or recommendations of the independent auditors, any audit problems or difficulties and management’s

The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall be authorized to give pre-approvals of such non-audit services on behalf of the Audit Committee.
 
  D.  Obtaining and reviewing a report or reports from the independent auditors at least annually (including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditors and the Funds consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard 1, as may be amended, restated, modified or replaced) regarding (a) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures; (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm; (c) any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (d) all relationships between the independent auditor and the Funds and their affiliates, in order to assist the Audit committee in assessing the auditor’s independence. After reviewing the foregoing report[s] and the independent auditor’s work throughout the year, the Audit Committee shall be responsible for evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor and their compliance with all applicable requirements for independence and peer review, and a review and evaluation of the lead partner, taking into account the opinions of Fund management and the internal auditors, and discussing such reports with the independent auditors. The Audit Committee shall present its conclusions with respect to the independent auditor to the Board.
 
  E.  Reviewing any reports from the independent auditors mandated by Section 10a(b) of the Exchange Act regarding any illegal act detected by the independent auditor (whether or not perceived to have a material effect on the Funds’ financial statements) and obtaining from the independent auditors any information about illegal acts in accordance with Section 10a(b).

C-6

 

  investment adviser, administrator, principal underwriter, or any other provider of accounting related services for the Funds, as well as employees of the Funds.
 
Although the Audit Committee shall have the authority and responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Funds’ financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. That is the responsibility of management and the independent auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditors or to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
