Important Notice to Fund Shareholders

MAY 19, 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 being asked to vote on a number of important matters:


	(i)	Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Investment Policy (Insured Funds only). 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;


	(ii)	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 shareholder meetings at which Board members will be elected. The list of specific nominees is contained in the enclosed proxy; and


	(iii)	Ratification of Independent Auditors (Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund only). Fund shareholders are being asked to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund.

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.		Why are shareholders of the Insured Funds being asked to approve the elimination of 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 by insurers with solid credit ratings. In connection with eliminating the 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 policy?


A.		If shareholders do not approve the elimination of the fundamental investment policies, then the Board will take such action as it deems to be in the best interest of each Insured Fund. In addition, the elimination of each fundamental policy (i), as described in the enclosed proxy statement, is contingent on shareholder approval of the new fundamental policy and the implementation of the new fundamental investment policy is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of fundamental policy (i). Your Fund’s Board urges you to vote without delay in order to avoid potential disruption to the Fund’s 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 proxy solicitor, at (866) 434-7510. 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.

General Information

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors or Trustees (each a “Board” and collectively, the “Boards,” and each Director or Trustee a “Board Member” and collectively, the “Board Members”) of each of Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (“New York Dividend”), Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (“New York Dividend 2”), Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (“Insured Dividend Advantage”), Nuveen Insured Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 (“Insured Premium Income 2”), Nuveen Insured Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (“Insured Tax-Free Advantage”), Nuveen Insured New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (“Insured New York Dividend”), Nuveen Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (“Insured New York Tax-Free”), Nuveen Core Equity Alpha Fund (“Core Equity”), Nuveen Real Estate Income Fund (“Real Estate”), Nuveen Diversified Dividend and Income Fund (“Diversified Dividend”), Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund (“Equity Premium”), Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage Fund (“Equity Premium Advantage”), Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund (“Equity Premium Income”), Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund (“Equity Premium Opportunity”), Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund (“Quality Preferred”), Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund 2 (“Quality Preferred 2”), Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund 3 (“Quality Preferred 3”), Nuveen Tax-Advantaged Total Return Strategy Fund (“Tax-Advantaged”), Nuveen Tax-Advantaged Dividend Growth Fund (“Tax-Advantaged Dividend”), Nuveen Global Government Enhanced Income Fund (“Global Government”), Nuveen Global Value Opportunities Fund (“Global Value”), Nuveen Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income Fund (“Multi-Currency”), Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund (“Multi-Strategy”) and Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund 2 (“Multi-Strategy 2”), each a Massachusetts Business Trust, and Nuveen New York Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (“New York Investment Quality”), Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (“New York Value”), Nuveen New York Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. (“New York Performance Plus”), Nuveen New York Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (“New York Quality”), Nuveen New York Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (“New York Select”), Nuveen Insured Municipal Opportunity Fund, Inc. (“Insured Municipal Opportunity”), Nuveen Insured Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (“Insured Quality”), Nuveen Premier Insured Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (“Premier Insured”) and Nuveen Insured New York Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (“Insured New York Premium”), each a Minnesota Corporation (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the 31st Floor Conference Room of Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, on Monday, June 30, 2008, at 3:00 p.m., Central time (for each Fund, an “Annual Meeting” and collectively, the “Annual Meetings”), and at any and all adjournments thereof.

On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been specified by shareholders on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a properly executed proxy is returned and no choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement, FOR the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for Core Equity and FOR the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental investment policy for Insured New York Premium, Insured Premium Income 2, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Premier Insured, Insured Quality, New York Quality, New York Select, Insured New York Tax-Free, Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Tax-Free Advantage, New York Investment Quality and Insured New York Dividend. Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly

executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Merely attending the Annual Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously submitted proxy.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders.

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



Matter		Common Shares	Preferred Shares⁽¹⁾

3.	For Insured New York Premium, Insured Premium Income 2, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Premier Insured, Insured Quality, New York Quality, New York Select, Insured New York Tax-Free, Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Tax-Free Advantage, New York Investment Quality and Insured New York Dividend, to approve the elimination of fundamental investment policies and to approve a new fundamental investment policy.	X	X


(1)	FundPreferred shares for Real Estate, Diversified Dividend, Quality Preferred, Quality Preferred 2, Quality Preferred 3, Tax-Advantaged, Multi-Strategy and Multi-Strategy 2; and Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares (“MuniPreferred”) for each other Fund are referred to as “Preferred Shares.”

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 by holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (with the exception of Core Equity, Equity Premium, Equity Premium Opportunity, Equity Premium Advantage, Equity Premium Income, Global Government, Global Value, Multi-Currency, Tax-Advantaged Dividend and New York 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. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for Core Equity, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Fund present and entitled to vote on the matter will be required. For purposes of determining the approval of the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental investment policy for Insured New York Premium, Insured Premium Income 2, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Premier Insured, Insured Quality, New York Quality, New York Select, Insured New York Tax-Free, Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Tax-Free Advantage, New York Investment Quality and Insured New York Dividend, 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 stock and preferred shares, voting together as a single class and for the Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as (a) 67% or more of classes/class shares present at the Annual Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the classes/class are present or represented by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of classes/class, whichever is less. For purposes of determining the ratification of the selection of the

independent registered public accounting firm, the approval of the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental investment policy, absentions 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 May 2, 2008 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional vote held. As of the Record Date, the shares of each Fund were issued and outstanding as follows:

For each Massachusetts Business Trust, except Core Equity, Equity Premium, Equity Premium Advantage, Equity Premium Income, Equity Premium Opportunity, Global Government, Global Value, Tax-Advantaged Dividend and Multi-Currency, under normal circumstances, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to elect two (2) Board Members.

Pursuant to the organizational documents of New York Value, the Board is divided into three classes, with each class being elected to serve until the third succeeding annual meeting subsequent to their election or thereafter in each case when their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. For New York Value, four (4) Board Members are nominated to be elected at this meeting.

Board Members Stockdale and Stone have been designated as Class I Board Members for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2010 or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.

It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed in the table below unless the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a Board Member of each Fund if elected. However, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies will be voted for substitute nominees, if any, designated by that Fund’s present Board.

For all Funds other than New York Value, Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Premium Income 2, Insured Tax-Free Advantage, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Insured Quality, Premier Insured, Core Equity, Tax-Advantaged Dividend, Multi-Currency, Multi-Strategy and Multi-Strategy 2, all of the Board Member nominees were last elected to each Fund’s Board at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 4, 2007, with the exception of Mr. Amboian and Mr. Toth and Mr. Kundert for Real Estate and Diversified Dividend only. For all Funds, Mr. Amboian and Mr. Toth were appointed in April 2008 to each Fund’s Board, effective June 30, 2008. Mr. Amboian and Mr. Toth are presented in this Joint Proxy Statement as nominees for election by shareholders and were recommended for election to the nominating and governance committee of each Fund’s Board by Nuveen Asset Management (the “Adviser” or “NAM”). For Real Estate and Diversified Dividend, Mr. Kundert was appointed in April 2008

to each Fund’s Board, effective June 30, 2008 and is presented in this Proxy Statement as a nominee for election by shareholders. For all the Funds, Timothy R. Schwertfeger is not standing for re-election by shareholders at the Annual Meeting and is expected to resign from the Board on June 30, 2008.

For New York Value, Board Members Stockdale and Stone were last elected as Class I Board Members at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 4, 2007. Board Members Bremner, Evans and Schneider were last elected as Class III members of the Board of New York Value at the annual meeting of shareholders held on March 29, 2006. Board Members Hunter and Kundert were last elected as Class II Board Members at the annual meeting of shareholders held on March 22, 2005.

For Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Premium Income 2 and Insured Tax-Free Advantage, Board Members Stockdale and Stone were last elected as Class I Board Members and Board Member Schneider was last elected to each Fund’s Board at the annual meeting of shareholders held on July 31, 2007. Board Members Bremner, Evans, Hunter and Kundert were last elected to each Fund’s Board at the annual meeting of shareholders held on August 1, 2006.

For Insured Municipal Opportunity, Insured Quality and Premier Insured, all of the Board Member nominees were last elected to each Fund’s Board at the annual meeting of shareholders held on July 31, 2007.

For Core Equity, Tax-Advantaged Dividend and Multi-Currency, all of the Board Member nominees were elected by the initial shareholder of the Fund, NAM, on March 26, 2007, June 21, 2007 and April 24, 2007, respectively.

For Multi-Strategy and Multi-Strategy 2, all of the Board Member nominees were last elected to each Fund’s Board on April 30, 2007.

Other than Mr. Amboian (for all Funds) and Mr. Kundert (for Real Estate and Diversified Dividend), all Board Member nominees are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Funds or the Adviser and have never been an employee or director of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), the Adviser’s parent company, or any affiliate. Accordingly, such Board Members are deemed “Independent Board Members.”

Mr. Kundert currently holds shares of JP Morgan Chase & Co. (“JP Morgan”), the parent company of Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated, that are valued at more than $120,000 and, as of the date of this proxy statement, are subject to restrictions prohibiting the transfer thereof by Mr. Kundert. Security Capital is a sub-adviser of Real Estate and Diversified Dividend and so long as Mr. Kundert owns shares of JP Morgan, Mr. Kundert may be considered to be an “interested person” of those Funds. The restrictions prohibiting the transfer of the JP Morgan shares held by Mr. Kundert are scheduled to lapse, and Mr. Kundert is expected to dispose of those shares prior to the time of the Annual Meeting. During the past five years, Mr. Kundert also owned other shares of JP Morgan which he no longer holds. As a result, it is expected that Mr. Kundert will not be an “interested person” of Real Estate and Diversified Dividend as of the time of the Annual Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the nominees.

(1)		Length of Service indicates the year in which the individual became a Board Member of a fund in the Nuveen fund complex.


(2)		Currently an “Interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act of Real Estate and Diversified Dividend by reason of his ownership of shares of the parent company of those Funds’ sub-adviser. However, as indicated above, it is expected that Mr. Kundert will not be an “interested person” of Real Estate and Diversified Dividend as of the time of the Annual Meeting.


(3)		Mr. Amboian and Mr. Toth are standing for election as a Board Member for 33 Funds holding their Annual Meeting on June 30, 2008. In addition, Mr. Amboian and Mr. Toth have been appointed as a Board member to an additional 151 Funds in the Nuveen complex, which appointment will become effective on July 1, 2008.


(4)		“Interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act, by reason of being an officer of each Fund’s adviser.


(5)		Nuveen Advisory Corp. and Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. were reorganized into Nuveen Asset Management, effective January 1, 2005.

The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Board Member in each Fund and all Nuveen funds overseen by the Board Member as of December 31, 2007 is set forth in Appendix A. 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). Each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of the Record Date, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of May 2, 2008, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund.

As a result of the transaction on November 13, 2007 in which Windy City Investments, Inc. (“Windy City”) acquired Nuveen, Mr. Amboian’s outstanding options to acquire shares of Nuveen common stock under various Nuveen stock option plans were cashed out and his outstanding shares of restricted stock (and deferred restricted stock) granted under Nuveen’s equity incentive plans became fully vested and were converted into the right to receive a cash payment. 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 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 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 paid by each Fund to each Board Member nominee for its last fiscal year.

Committees

The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the executive committee, the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, the dividend committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee.

Robert P. Bremner, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, serve as 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, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, 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. Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, Chair, David J. Kundert and William J. Schneider are current members of the audit committee of each Fund, except Mr. Kundert is not a member with respect to Real Estate and Diversified Dividend. 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. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached 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 and Carole E. Stone are current members of the nominating and governance committee of each Fund, except Mr. Kundert is not a member with respect to Real Estate and Diversified Dividend. 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 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. In connection with its annual review of committee membership, the committee expects to consider Board Member nominee Amboian to serve on one or more committees. 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 Independent Board Members of each Fund have appointed Robert P. Bremner as their Lead Independent Director. The role of the Lead Independent Director is one of coordination and assuring the appropriate, effective and efficient functioning of the Board and the Board processes. Specific responsibilities may include organizing and leading Independent Board Member sessions, facilitating and ensuring an appropriate level of communication among the Independent Board Members, leading the assessment of the Board’s effectiveness, and working with the Adviser’s staff and outside counsel on board meeting agendas, board material and workshops for Independent Board Members to ensure that the priorities of the Independent Board Members are addressed. Effective June 30, 2008, Mr. Bremner has been appointed Chairman of the Board and will no longer serve as the Lead Independent Director.

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.

2.	Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for Core Equity

The Independent Board Members of Core Equity have unanimously selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund for the current fiscal year. The selection of the independent registered public accounting firm for Core Equity, is being submitted to the shareholders for ratification. A representative of the independent registered public accounting firm will be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders’ questions. The independent registered public accounting firm has informed the Fund that it has no direct or indirect material financial interest in the Fund, Nuveen, the Adviser or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen.

The Board of Core Equity unanimously recommends that shareholders vote FOR the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm.

Approval of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of the New Fundamental Policy for Insured New York Premium, Insured Premium Income 2, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Premier Insured, Insured Quality, New York Quality, New York Select, Insured New York Tax-Free, Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Tax-Free Advantage, New York Investment Quality and Insured New York Dividend

Insured New York Premium, Insured Premium Income 2, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Premier Insured, Insured Quality, New York Quality, New York Select, Insured New York Tax-Free, Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Tax-Free Advantage, New York Investment Quality and Insured New York Dividend (the “Insured Funds”) have adopted certain fundamental investment policies, as described below (together, “Fundamental Policies,” each a “Fundamental Policy”), that can only be changed by shareholder vote. The Fundamental Policies adopted by the Insured Funds reflected industry conditions present in the municipal bond market at the time of the inception of these Funds.

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.

As a result of these conditions facing the bond insurance market, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by each Insured Fund’s shareholders of the elimination of certain Fundamental Policies of the Insured Funds that are restricting, or may be expected in the future to restrict, each Fund’s ability to effectively make investments. In connection with eliminating the Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of a new fundamental policy, described below (the “New Fundamental Policy”). The elimination of each Fundamental Policy (i) described below is contingent on shareholder approval of the New Fundamental Policy. In addition, the Board has approved new non-fundamental policies, described below (the “New Non-Fundamental Policies” and together with the New Fundamental Policy, the “New Policies”). The New 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 investments in insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.

(a) Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies

The Fundamental Policies of each Insured Fund that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:

Insured New York Premium

(i) The Fund will invest all of its assets in tax-exempt New York municipal obligations which are 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.

(ii) 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”).

(iii) Municipal Obligations backed by an escrow or trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s assets.

(iv) The Fund may invest in New York Municipal Obligations rated “Aaa” or “AAA” that are entitled to the benefit of an escrow or trust account which contains securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or U.S. Government agencies and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States sufficient in amount to ensure the payment of interest and principal on the original interest payment and maturity dates (“collateralized obligations”). Such collateralized obligations generally will not be insured and will include, but are not limited to, New York Municipal Obligations that have been (1) advance refunded where the proceeds of the refunding have been used to purchase U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities that are placed in escrow and whose interest or maturing principal payments, or both, are sufficient to cover the remaining scheduled debt service on the New York Municipal Obligations, and (2) issued under state or local housing finance programs which use the issuance proceeds to fund mortgages that are then exchanged for U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities and deposited with a trustee as security for the New York Municipal Obligations.

(v) Each insured New York 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”) or 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”).

Insured Premium Income 2

(i) Except to the extent the Fund invests in temporary investments, the Fund will invest all of its assets in tax-exempt 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.

(iii) Municipal obligations backed by an escrow account or trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s assets.

Insured Municipal Opportunity and Premier Insured

(i) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary investments, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in tax-exempt municipal bonds that either are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds, or are 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. Uninsured municipal bonds backed by an escrow or trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s assets.

Insured Quality

(i) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary investments as described below, the Fund will invest all of its assets in tax-exempt municipal bonds that are either covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds or are 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.

(ii) Uninsured municipal bonds backed by an escrow or trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s assets.

New York Quality

(i) The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing substantially all of its assets in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt New York municipal bonds that are either insured or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure principal and interest payments.

(ii) If the Fund discontinues its policy of investing substantially all of its assets in New York municipal bonds that are insured or backed by an escrow account, the Fund thereafter will invest substantially all of its assets in New York municipal bonds rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s, except that the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated New York municipal bonds that, in NAM’s opinion, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and are of comparable quality to, New York municipal bonds so rated.

New York Select

(i) The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in a diversified portfolio of New York municipal bonds that either are insured or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure principal and interest payments.

Insured New York Tax-Free

(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding in a portfolio of municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal, New York State and New York City income taxes and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals.

Insured Dividend Advantage

(i) Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular federal income taxes and that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.

Insured Tax-Free Advantage

(i) 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 income tax and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals; and are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.

New York Investment Quality

Insured New York Dividend

(i) 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 New York State and New York City income taxes and that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.

(b) Approval of the New Fundamental Policy

In connection with eliminating the Fundamental Policies, the Board of each Insured Fund has unanimously approved, and recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund approve, a

New Fundamental Policy relating to each Insured Fund’s policy of investing 80% (or greater) of its assets in a portfolio of tax-exempt securities. The New Fundamental Policy will replace each Insured Fund’s Fundamental Policy (i), as described above. Implementation of the New Fundamental Policy is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of Fundamental Policy (i) for each Insured Fund. The New Fundamental Policy is as follows:

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 a portfolio of securities that pay interest exempt from federal [and New York State and New York City] (for the New York insured funds only) income taxes (“municipal securities”) [and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals] (for the insured tax-free funds only).

New Non-Fundamental Policies

In connection with eliminating the Fundamental Policies, the Board of each Insured Fund has also adopted New Non-Fundamental Policies, as described below. To the extent that the New Non-Fundamental Policies conflict with the existing Fundamental Policies, implementation of the New Non-Fundamental Policies is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the Fundamental Policies. To the extent such Non-Fundamental Policies do not conflict with the existing Fundamental Policies, the New Non-Fundamental Policies have already been implemented. By eliminating the Fundamental Policies and adopting the New 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.

The New Non-Fundamental Policies that the Board of each Insured Fund has adopted are 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 a portfolio of securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon. 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.

Board Recommendation

The Board believes that eliminating the Fundamental Policies and adopting the New 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 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 Non-Fundamental Policies without shareholder approval.

The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Fundamental Policy and vote to approve the New 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, (2) the quality and integrity of the Funds’ 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 three (for Real Estate and Diversified Dividend) or four (for each other Fund) Independent Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by each Board. Each committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

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 and letter 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

David J. Kundert (except for Real Estate and Diversified Dividend)

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.

For engagements with each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the audit committee 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 the Fund). None of the services rendered by the Fund’s independent registered public 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

The Board of each Fund (except Equity Premium, Equity Premium Advantage, Equity Premium Income, Core Equity, Equity Premium Opportunity and Multi-Currency) has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of the Fund for its current fiscal year. The Boards of Equity Premium, Equity Premium Advantage, Equity Premium Income, Core Equity, Equity Premium Opportunity and Multi-Currency have appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of these Funds for their current fiscal years. A representative of each independent registered public accounting firm will be present at the Annual Meetings to make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to shareholders’ questions. Each independent registered public accounting firm has informed each applicable 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 investment 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 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. 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 for the Funds to be held in 2009, shareholder proposals 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 January 19, 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 for the annual meeting must, pursuant to each Fund’s By-Laws, submit such written notice to the Fund not later than April 4, 2009 or prior to March 20, 2009. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included in a proxy statement.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders who want to communicate with the Board or any individual Board Member should write their Fund to the attention of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The letter should indicate that you are a Fund shareholder, and identify the Fund (or Funds). If the communication is intended for a specific Board Member and so indicates it will be sent only to that Board Member. If a communication does not indicate a specific Board Member it will be sent to the chair of the nominating and governance committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members for further distribution as deemed appropriate by such persons.

Expenses of Proxy Solicitation

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying notice and proxy statement and all other costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be paid 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.

Fiscal Year

The last fiscal year end for the New York Funds was September 30, 2007. The last fiscal year end for Insured Dividend Advantage, Insured Municipal Opportunity, Insured Premium Income 2,

Insured Quality, Insured Tax-Free Advantage and Premier Insured was October 31, 2007. The last fiscal year end for Real Estate, Diversified Dividend, Equity Premium, Equity Premium Advantage, Equity Premium Income, Equity Premium Opportunity, Quality Preferred, Quality Preferred 2, Quality Preferred 3, Tax-Advantaged, Tax-Advantaged Dividend, Global Government, Global Value, Core Equity, Multi-Currency, Multi-Strategy and Multi-Strategy 2 was December 31, 2007.

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 with respect to a matter requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.

APPENDIX C

NUVEEN FUND BOARD
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
JANUARY 15,2008


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 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:


	1.	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.”

	2.	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.

	3.	Discussing with management the Funds’ press releases regarding financial results and dividends, as well as financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. This 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.

C-2


	4.	Discussing with management and the independent auditors (a) significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation and presentation of the Funds’ financial statements, including any significant changes in the Funds’ 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.

	5.	Discussing with management and the independent auditors the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives on the Funds’ financial statements.

	6.	Reviewing and discussing reports, both written and oral, from the independent auditors and/or Fund management regarding (a) all critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (b) all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management, ramifications of the use of such alternative treatments and disclosures, and the treatment preferred by the independent auditors; and (c) other material written communications between the independent auditors and management, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.

	7.	Discussing with Fund management the Funds’ major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including the Funds’ risk assessment and risk management policies and guidelines. In fulfilling its obligations under this paragraph, the Audit Committee may review in a general manner the processes other Board committees have in place with respect to risk assessment and risk management.

	8.	Reviewing disclosures made to the Audit Committee by the Funds’ principal executive officer and principal financial officer during their certification process for the Funds’ periodic reports about any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in the Funds’ internal controls. In fulfilling its obligations under this paragraph, the Audit Committee may review in a general manner the processes other Board committees have in place with respect to deficiencies in internal controls, material weaknesses, or any fraud associated with internal controls.

With Respect to the Independent Auditors:
