Municipal Fund ("Dividend Advantage"), Nuveen Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund

Maturities") (individually, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies
to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund to be held on
July 31, 2002 (for each Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and, collectively, the "Annual
Meetings"), and at any and all adjournments thereof.
On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice has
been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of that
Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares of each
Fund will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint
Proxy Statement. Shareholders of any Fund who execute proxies may revoke them at
any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of
revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds on
or about June 27, 2002.
The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement
for each Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its
shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by
the shareholders. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each
proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on a proposal by the shareholders of
one Fund will not affect the vote on the proposal by the shareholders of another
Fund.
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMON MUNI-
MATTER SHARES PREFERRED(1)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1a(i). Election of Board Members by all shareholders (except X X
Municipal Value, Municipal Income, and Select Maturities)
(Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Anne E. Impellizzeri,
Peter R. Sawers and Judith M. Stockdale nominated)
a(ii). Election of Board Members by MuniPreferred only (except N/A X
Municipal Value, Municipal Income and Select Maturities)
(William J. Schneider and Timothy R. Schwertfeger nominated)
b. Election of one Board Member for Municipal Value and X N/A
Municipal Income by all common shareholders (Anne E.
Impellizzeri)
c. Election of Board Members for Select Maturities by all X N/A
shareholders (Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Anne E.
Impellizzeri, Peter R. Sawers, William J. Schneider, Timothy
R. Schwertfeger and Judith M. Stockdale nominated)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) "MuniPreferred" means "Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares."
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual
Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at
that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member
nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred of each Fund (except
Municipal Income, Municipal Value and Select Maturities), 33 1/3% of the
MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy will
constitute a quorum except that for Premium Income, a majority of the
MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy will
constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual Meeting
will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual
Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is
present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions
and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in
"street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the
beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee
does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for
purposes of determining a quorum.
For purposes of determining the approval of the matter submitted for a vote of
the shareholders of each Fund (except Insured Premium Income 2, Dividend
Advantage, Dividend Advantage 2 and Select Maturities, the "Massachusetts
Business Trusts"), abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares
voted against the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the
approval of the matter submitted for a vote of the shareholders of the
Massachusetts Business Trusts, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no
effect on the election of Board Members. The details of the proposal to be voted
on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of the
proposal are set forth under the description of the proposal below.
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on June
3, 2002 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of June 3, 2002,
shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

On February 28, 2002, Board Members and executive officers of the Funds as a
group beneficially owned 467,408 common shares of all funds managed by Nuveen
Advisory Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser"), Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp.
("NIAC") or Nuveen Senior Loan Asset Management Inc. ("NSLAM") (includes
Deferred Units and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's
401(k)/profit sharing plan, but excludes shares of money market funds). Each
Board Member's individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constitute less
than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of June 3, 2002, the Board
Members and executive officers of the Funds as a group owned beneficially less
than 1% of the outstanding common shares of each Fund. As of June 3, 2002, the
Board Members and executive officers of the Funds did not own any shares of
MuniPreferred. As of June 3, 2002, no shareholder owned more than 5% of any
class of shares of any Fund.
OTHER AFFILIATIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS OF BOARD MEMBERS
As of February 28, 2002, none of the Board Members who are "interested persons"
of a Fund (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) and who are not affiliated
with Nuveen Investments ("Nuveen") or the Adviser (the "Independent Board
Members"), nor any immediate family member of an Independent Board Member, owns
shares of the Adviser or a principal underwriter of a Fund, nor does any such
person own shares of a company controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Adviser or a principal underwriter of a Fund.
There have been no transactions by a Fund since the beginning of the Fund's last
fiscal year, nor are there any transactions currently proposed, in which the
amount exceeds $60,000 and in which any Board Member, executive officer or
security holder of more than 5% of the voting securities of a Fund, or any
immediate family members of the foregoing persons, has or will have a direct or
indirect material interest, nor have any of the foregoing persons been indebted
to a Fund in an amount in excess of $60,000 at any time since that date.
No Independent Board Member, nor any immediate family member of such a Board
Member, has had, in the past five years, any direct or indirect interest, the
value of which exceeds $60,000, in the Adviser or principal underwriter of the
Funds or in a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the Adviser
or principal underwriter of the Funds. Moreover, no Independent Board Member (or
immediate family member of any Independent Board Member) has, or has had in the
last two fiscal years of the Funds, any direct or indirect relationships or any
direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or series of
transactions or in any currently proposed transaction or series of transactions,
in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000, in which the following persons
were or are a party: the Funds, an officer of the Funds, any investment company
sharing the same Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or any officer of
such a party, any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with, the Adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds, or
any officer of such a person.
Within the last two completed fiscal years of the Funds, no officer of any
investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds or of any person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
the investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Funds, has served as a
board member on a board of a company where any of the Board Members or Nominees
of the Funds has served as an officer.
COMPENSATION
The Board Members affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser serve without any
compensation from the Funds. The Independent Board Members receive a $15,000
quarterly retainer ($60,000 annually) for serving as a board member of all funds
sponsored by Nuveen and managed by the Adviser and a $1,750 fee per day plus
expenses for attendance at all meetings (including any committee meetings) held
on a day on which a regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per
7
day plus expenses for attendance in person or a $500 fee per day plus expenses
for attendance by telephone at a meeting held on a day on which no regular Board
meeting is held, and a $500 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person
or $250 if by telephone at a meeting of any committee meeting held on a day on
which no Board meeting is held. The annual retainer, fees and expenses are
allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser on the basis of relative net
asset sizes. Effective January 1, 1999, the Board of Directors/Trustees of
certain Nuveen Funds (the "Participating Funds") established a Deferred
Compensation Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees ("Deferred Compensation
Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Independent Board Members of the
Participating Funds may defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation
they earn for their services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving
current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though
an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more eligible
Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected
to defer at least a portion of their fees. Each of the Funds except Select
Maturities, Municipal Income, and Dividend Advantage 2 are Participating Funds
under the Deferred Compensation Plan.
The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for
service on the boards of the NAC Funds for the calendar year ended 2001. Mr.
Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of each Fund, does not
receive any compensation from the Fund or any Nuveen Funds.

COMMITTEES
The Board Members serve on four standing committees: the executive committee,
the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, and the dividend
and valuation committee.
Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger serve as members of the executive
committee of the Board of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets
between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the
powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive
committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, are
limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is
impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to
quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the
executive committee) or (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature.
No executive committee meetings were held for any of the Funds during its last
fiscal year except for Dividend Advantage 2. The executive committee held two
meetings for Dividend Advantage 2 during its fiscal year.
Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are the current members of the
dividend and valuation committee for each Fund. The dividend and valuation
committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Funds' shares including,
but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary
income distributions. The committee also oversees the Fund's Pricing Procedures
including, but not limited to, the review and approval of fair value pricing
determinations made by Nuveen's Valuation Group. The dividend and valuation
committee of each Fund except Select Maturities and Dividend Advantage 2 held
eight meetings during its last fiscal year. The dividend and valuation committee
of Select Maturities held five meetings during its fiscal year. The dividend and
valuation committee of Dividend Advantage 2 held three meetings from its
inception to the end of its fiscal year.
Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Board Members who are not
"interested persons" of the Fund and who are "independent" as that term is
defined in Section 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange's
listing standards. The audit committee monitors the accounting and reporting
policies and practices of the Funds, the quality and integrity of the financial
statements of the Funds, compliance by the Funds with legal and regulatory
requirements and the independence and performance of the external and internal
auditors. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the
Fund's independent auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to make
recommendations to the Board. The audit committee has adopted a written charter.
The audit committee of each Fund held two meetings during its last fiscal year.
Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund
is committed to a nominating and governance committee composed of all Board
Members who are not "interested persons" of that Fund. It identifies and
recommends individuals to be nominated for election as non-interested Board
Members. The committee also reviews matters relating to (1) the composition,
duties, recruitment, independence and tenure of Board Members, (2) the selection
and review of committee assignments, and (3) Board Member education, board
meetings and board performance. The nominating and governance committee of each
Fund held one meeting during its last fiscal year. In the event of a vacancy on
the Board, the nominating and governance committee receives suggestions from
various sources as to suitable candidates. Suggestions should be sent in writing
to Lorna Ferguson, Vice President for Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333
West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606. The nominating and governance committee
sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new Board
Members and reserves the right to interview all candidates and to make the final
selection of any new Board Members.
The Board of each Fund held four regular quarterly meetings and two special
meetings during its last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, each Board
Member attended 75% or more of each Fund's Board meetings and the committee
meetings (if a member thereof).
THE FUND'S OFFICERS
The following table sets forth information as of June 3, 2002 with respect to
each officer of the Funds, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board Member
and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board. Officers of the
Funds receive no compensation from the Funds. The term of office of all officers
will expire in July 2002. The Board will
9
consider the election of officers to serve until July 2003 and as set forth in
each Fund's by-laws at the regularly scheduled Board meeting to be held after

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of the Board of each Fund is responsible for assisting the
Board in monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of the Fund's financial
statements, (2) each Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements, and (3) the
independence and performance of each Fund's independent and internal auditors.
Among other responsibilities, the Committee reviews, in its oversight capacity,
each Fund's annual financial statements with both management and the independent
auditors and the Committees meet periodically with the independent and internal
auditors to consider their evaluation of each Fund's financial and internal
controls. The Committee also recommends to the Board the selection of each
Fund's independent auditors. The Committee is currently composed of six Board
Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board.
Each Committee member is independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange
listing standards.
The Committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with
management and each Fund's independent and internal auditors. The Committee has
reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management.
Management has represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's
financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The Committee has also discussed with the independent
auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees). Each Fund's independent auditors
provided to the Committee the written disclosure required by Independent
Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions with Audit Committees),
and the Committee discussed with representatives of the independent auditor
their firm's independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not
the Committee's responsibility to determine, and the considerations and
discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund's financial
statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Based on the Committee's review and discussions with management and the
independent auditors, the representations of management and the report of the
independent auditors to the Committee, the Committee has recommended that the
Board include the audited financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.
The members of the Committee are:
Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Anne E. Impellizzeri
Peter R. Sawers
William J. Schneider
Judith M. Stockdale

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL NON-AUDIT FEES. The Audit Committee of each Fund has generally considered
whether the receipt of non-audit fees by Ernst & Young LLP from the Fund is
compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence.
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, as
independent auditors to audit the books and records of each Fund for its fiscal
year. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP will be present at the meeting to
make a statement, if such representative so desires, and to respond to
shareholders' questions. Ernst & Young LLP has informed each Fund that it has no
direct or indirect material financial interest in the Fund, Nuveen, the Adviser
or any other investment company sponsored by Nuveen.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL INTEREST REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")
and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), require each Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser,
affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than 10%
of a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms reporting
their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes in
ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and entities are required
by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund
believes that the Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser and
affiliated persons of the investment adviser have complied with all applicable
Section 16(a) filing requirements during its last fiscal year. To the knowledge
of management of the Funds, no shareholder of a Fund owns more than 10% of a
registered class of a Fund's equity securities.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Adviser, located at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, serves as
investment adviser and manager for each Fund. The Adviser is a wholly owned
subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60606. The John Nuveen Company is approximately 78% owned by The St. Paul
Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). St. Paul is located at 385 Washington Street, St.
Paul, Minnesota 55102, and is principally engaged in providing
property-liability insurance through subsidiaries.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
To be considered for presentation at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of any
of the Funds to be held in 2003, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333
West Wacker Drive,
13
Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than February 26, 2003. A shareholder wishing
to provide notice in the manner prescribed by Rule 14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal
submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 must submit such written notice
to the Fund not later than May 12, 2003. Timely submission of a proposal does
not mean that such proposal will be included.
EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying
notice and proxy statement, and all other costs in connection with the
solicitation of proxies, will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number

telephone or telegraph by officers or employees of Nuveen Investments or Nuveen
Advisory Corp., or by dealers and their representatives.
FISCAL YEAR
The last fiscal year end for each Fund except Select Maturities was October 31,
2001 and for Select Maturities was May 31, 2002.
ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY
Annual reports were sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following each
Fund's fiscal year end. The 2002 annual report for Select Maturities is expected
to be available on or before July 31, 2002. Each Fund will furnish, without
charge, a copy of its annual report and/or semi-annual report as available upon
request. Such written or oral requests should be directed to such Fund at 333
West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 or by calling 1-800-257-8787.
GENERAL
Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that
any other items of business will be presented at any Fund's Annual Meeting.
However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting for a
vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon
such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the
Fund.
A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's Annual
Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business
hours beginning ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting.
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if
they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in
the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an
adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
