IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO NUVEEN FUND SHAREHOLDERS
Although we recommend that you read the complete Joint Proxy Statement, for your
convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the issues to be voted on.
Q. WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT?
A. Closed-end investment companies listed on a stock exchange, such as your
Fund, are required to hold annual meetings to approve the election of Board
Members. Your Fund is seeking shareholder approval to elect Board Members to
serve on the Board. Please refer to the Joint Proxy Statement for a detailed
explanation.
Q. WHY ARE THESE INDIVIDUALS RECOMMENDED FOR ELECTION TO THE BOARD?
A. Currently, two separate board clusters oversee the funds in the Nuveen
family of funds. One board cluster comprised of the same Board Members
oversees the funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp., the investment adviser,
and another board cluster comprised of the same Board Members oversees all
but one of the funds managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. The
Board of your Fund has proposed to consolidate both board clusters into a
single board cluster so that the same individuals serve on the Boards of
most Nuveen funds.
Your Board believes that the consolidation of board clusters will have the
following advantages:
- the consolidation will avoid the need to add new Board Members to each
board cluster at various later dates to maintain the current size and
structure of each board cluster;
- the consolidation ensures that each fund will gain new Board Members that
are already knowledgeable about Nuveen and investment companies in
general;
- the consolidation would reduce the duplication of board materials and
reports covering the same issues and would avoid the need for repeated
presentation of the same material by the same personnel at different
meetings;
- reducing such administrative burdens will allow the investment adviser
and its personnel to focus more on non-administrative matters; and
- a single board cluster overseeing all operations of the Nuveen family of
funds will have a better picture of all issues facing shareholders.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARD MEMBERS OF MY FUND SUGGEST THAT I VOTE?
A. After careful consideration, the trustees of your Fund unanimously recommend
that you vote "FOR" the nominees for the Board.
Q. WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
A. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposal can be acted upon.
Additionally, your immediate response will help save on the costs of any
future solicitations for a shareholder vote. We encourage all shareholders
to participate in the governance of their Fund.
Q. WHO DO I CALL IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
A. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposal or
how to vote your shares, please call your financial advisor or call Nuveen
at (800) 257-8787 weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Central time.
Q. HOW DO I VOTE MY SHARES?
A. You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card,
and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Alternatively, you may
vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the proxy card or by
computer over the internet (www.proxyvote.com) and using the control number
on the proxy card.
Q. WILL ANYONE CONTACT ME?
A. You may receive a call to verify that you received your proxy materials, to
answer any questions you may have about the proposal and to encourage you to
vote.

Massachusetts Business Trusts and Minnesota Corporations are referred to as a

Meeting of Shareholders to be held on November 17, 2003 (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
no choice is so specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the
nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement. 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.
This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about
October 21, 2003.
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. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on the 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.
2
The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATTER COMMON SHARES MUNIPREFERRED(1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.a.i) Election of ten (10) Board Members by X X
all shareholders
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.a.ii) Election of two (2) Board Members by N/A X
MuniPreferred only
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.b. Election of eight (8) Board Members for X N/A
California Value by all shareholders
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) "MuniPreferred" means "Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative 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 nominees to be elected by
holders of MuniPreferred of each Fund (except California Value), 33 1/3% 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 Minnesota Corporation, 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.
Shares of MuniPreferred 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 each item in the same proportion
as the votes cast by all MuniPreferred shareholders as a class who have voted on
that item or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all MuniPreferred
shareholders of a series who have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits
proportionate voting of MuniPreferred with respect to a particular item if,
among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the shares of MuniPreferred or
shares of a series of MuniPreferred outstanding has been voted by the holders of
such shares with respect to such item and (ii) less than 10% of the shares of
MuniPreferred or shares of a series of MuniPreferred 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.
3
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on
September 19, 2003 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of
September 19, 2003, the shares of the Funds issued and outstanding were as
follows:

1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH FUND
GENERAL
Currently, two separate board clusters oversee the funds in the Nuveen family of
funds. One board cluster comprised of the same board members oversees the funds
managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser") and another board
cluster comprised of the same board members oversees all but one of the funds
managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"). The NAC board cluster
and NIAC board cluster currently have a total of seven and five board members,
respectively, who are not "interested persons" (as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) and who are not
affiliated with Nuveen or a fund's investment adviser (the "Independent Board
Members") and one board member who is an "interested person."
The Boards of each Fund have proposed to consolidate both board clusters into a
single board cluster so that the same individuals serve on the boards of most of
the Nuveen funds. All individuals serving on both board clusters are nominated
to serve on the combined board.
5
The following is a list of Board Members under the proposal who are continuing
Board Members currently serving on the NAC board cluster and Board Member
nominees who are currently serving on the NIAC board cluster:
CONTINUING BOARD MEMBERS (NAC BOARD CLUSTER):
Timothy R. Schwertfeger*
William E. Bennett**
Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Anne E. Impellizzeri
Peter R. Sawers
William J. Schneider
Judith M. Stockdale
NEW BOARD MEMBER NOMINEES (NIAC BOARD CLUSTER):
Jack B. Evans
William L. Kissick
Thomas E. Leafstrand
Sheila W. Wellington
* Interested person. Mr. Schwertfeger currently serves on both board clusters.
** Mr. Bennett, currently a member of the NIAC board cluster, was appointed to
the Board of the NAC funds on July 29, 2003 and is now being nominated for
election by shareholders.
In part, the proposal to create a single board is being recommended because of
the large number of retirements that will occur over the next few years. Within
two years, the aggregate number of Independent Board Members that serve on both
board clusters (currently 11) is expected to fall to six, due to a number of
retirements because of age and/or tenure limitations for board membership.
Combining the boards will avoid the need to add new board members to each board
cluster at various later dates to maintain the current size and structure of
each board cluster. In addition, combining the boards ensures that each Fund
will gain new board members that already are knowledgeable about Nuveen and
investment companies in general.
Historically, the two separate board clusters have had separate meetings but
often have reviewed similar policy issues, contractual arrangements and other
matters. Among other potential efficiencies, the Board of each Fund believes
that consolidating the board clusters into one board would reduce the
duplication of board materials and reports covering the same issues and would
avoid the need for repeated presentation of the same material by the same
personnel at different meetings. This would permit the Adviser and its personnel
to focus more on non-administrative matters. In addition, a single board
overseeing all operations of the Nuveen family of funds will have a better
picture of all issues facing shareholders.
At its May 15, 2003 meeting, each board cluster reviewed the compensation paid
to Independent Board Members and determined that compensation should be
increased because of the expanded responsibilities of the Board Members due to
(a) the increase in the number and types of investment companies overseen by the
Board Members and (b) recent additional legal and regulatory requirements.
Effective July 1, 2003, for all Nuveen funds overseen, Independent Board Members
receive a $65,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of
6
$2,000 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled
meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person where
such in-person attendance is required and $500 per day for attendance by
telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required at a special,
non-regularly scheduled, board meeting; (c) a fee of $1,000 per day for
attendance in person at an audit committee meeting where in-person attendance is
required and $500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person where
in-person attendance is not required; (d) a fee of $500 per day for attendance
in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (e) a fee
of $500 per day for attendance in person at all other committee meetings on a
day on which no regularly scheduled Board meeting is held in which in-person
attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance by telephone or in person
at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required, plus, in each case,
expenses incurred in attending such meetings. Compensation to the Independent
Board Members is allocated among the Nuveen family of funds based on assets per
fund. The Boards do not anticipate any further change in the compensation
schedule as a result of the board consolidation.
Prior to July 1, 2003, for all Nuveen funds overseen, the continuing Independent
Board Members of the Funds received a $60,000 annual retainer for serving as a
board member and a $1,750 fee per day for attendance in person or by telephone
at all meetings (including any committee meetings) held on a day on which a
regularly scheduled Board meeting was held, a $1,000 fee per day for attendance
in person or a $500 fee per day for attendance by telephone at all meetings
(including any committee meetings) held on a day on which no regular Board
meeting was held, and a $500 fee per day for attendance in person or $250 if by
telephone at a meeting of any committee, plus in each case, expenses incurred in
attending such meetings.
The proposal to combine boards, which increases the number of Board Members for
each Fund, will increase the total compensation paid by each Fund to Board
Members. Management, however, believes that such increase in compensation is not
material to each Fund and is justified by the benefits to each Fund and its
shareholders. Moreover, as the size of the combined board declines due to
retirements over the next two years, the total compensation paid by each Fund to
Independent Board Members based upon the above schedule will decrease to the
extent there will be fewer Board Members to compensate.
At each Fund's Annual Meeting (except California Value), twelve (12) Board
Members are nominated to be elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting or
until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Under the
terms of each Fund's organizational documents (except California Value), under
normal circumstances holders of MuniPreferred are entitled to elect two (2)
Board Members, and the remaining Board Members are to be elected by holders of
common shares and MuniPreferred, voting together as a single class. Pursuant to
the organizational documents of California Value, the Board is divided into
three classes, with each class being elected to serve a term of three years.
This year eight (8) Board Members are to be elected at this Annual Meeting to
serve on the Board of California Value (a twelve (12) person classified Board)
for a specified term (for some classes for multiple year terms).
7
A. FOR EACH FUND EXCEPT CALIFORNIA VALUE.
(i) Ten (10) Board Members are to be elected by holders of common
shares and MuniPreferred, voting together as a single class. Board
Members Bennett, Bremner, Brown, Evans, Impellizzeri, Kissick,
Leafstrand, Sawers, Stockdale and Wellington are nominees for
election by all shareholders.
(ii) Holders of MuniPreferred, each series voting together as a single
class, are entitled to elect two (2) of the Board Members. Board
Members Schneider and Schwertfeger are nominees for election by
holders of MuniPreferred.
B. FOR CALIFORNIA VALUE. The Board of California Value has designated Bremner,
Evans, Schneider and Stockdale as Class III Board Members, and as nominees for a
term expiring at the Annual Meeting of shareholders in 2006, and until their
successors have been duly elected and qualified; Bennett and Leafstrand as Class
II Board Members and as nominees for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of
shareholders in 2005, and until their successors have been duly elected and
qualified; and Kissick and Wellington as Class I Board Members and as nominees
for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of shareholders in 2004, and until
their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The remaining Board
Members Brown, Impellizzeri, Sawers and Schwertfeger are current and continuing
Board Members. The Board of California Value has designated Brown, Sawers and
Schwertfeger as continuing Class I Board Members for a term that expires in 2004
and has designated Impellizzeri as a continuing Class II Board Member for a term
that expires in 2005.
FOR THE MINNESOTA CORPORATIONS. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares
present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect
Board Members of that Fund.
FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS. 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.
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 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.
Except for California Value, Insured California Tax-Free, Insured California
Dividend, Insured Florida Tax-Free, New Jersey Dividend 2 and Pennsylvania
Dividend 2, all of the continuing Board Member nominees were last elected to
each Fund's Board at the 2002 annual meeting of shareholders except Mr. Bennett
who was appointed to each Fund's Board on July 29, 2003. Board Member
Impellizzeri was last elected as a Class II member of the Board for California
Value at the 2002 annual meeting of shareholders. Board Members Brown, Sawers
and Schwertfeger were last elected as Class I members of the Board for
California Value at the 2001 annual meeting of shareholders. Board Members
Bremner, Schneider and Stockdale were last elected as Class III members of the
Board for California Value at the 2000 annual meeting of shareholders. This is
the first Annual Meeting for each of Insured California Tax-Free, Insured
California Dividend, Insured Florida Tax-Free, New Jersey Dividend 2 and
Pennsylvania Dividend 2 therefore, the continuing Board Member nominees of
Insured
8
California Tax-Free, Insured California Dividend, Insured Florida Tax-Free, New
Jersey Dividend 2 and Pennsylvania Dividend 2 were appointed and not elected.
Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, none of the Board Member nominees has ever been a

(1) The amounts reflect the aggregate dollar range of equity securities and the
number of shares beneficially owned by the Board Member in the Funds and in
all Nuveen funds overseen by each Board Member.
As of August 31, 2003, neither the Board Member nominees, nor the Board Member
nominees and officers as a group, beneficially owned shares in any Fund. The
information as to beneficial ownership is based on statements furnished by each
Board Member nominee and officer.
On August 31, 2003, continuing Board Members and executive officers as a group
beneficially owned 883,517 common shares of all funds managed by NAC and NIAC
(includes deferred units in connection with the Deferred Compensation Plan, as
described below, and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's
401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each continuing Board Member's individual
beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constitute less than 1% of the outstanding
shares of each Fund. As of August 31, 2003, the continuing Board Members and
executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding
common shares of each Fund. As of August 31, 2003, the Board Member nominees and
executive officers of the Funds did not own any shares of MuniPreferred. As of
September 19, 2003, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class
of shares of any Fund.
COMPENSATION
The Board Member affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser serves without any
compensation from the Funds. The Independent Board Members are paid an annual
retainer and fees and expenses for Board meetings and committee meetings as
described above. 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 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
15
compensation they earn for their services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of
receiving current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated
as though an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more
eligible Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has
elected to defer at least a portion of his or her fees. Each of the Funds,
except California Opportunity, California Premium, New Jersey Dividend, New
Jersey Dividend 2, Pennsylvania Dividend, Pennsylvania Dividend 2, California
Value, Insured California, Insured California Tax-Free and Insured Florida
Tax-Free, is a Participating Fund.
The table below shows, for each continuing Board Member (except Mr. Bennett who
was appointed to the Board of each Fund on July 29, 2003) who is not affiliated
with Nuveen or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to
each continuing Board Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including
deferred fees) for service on the boards of the Nuveen open-end and closed-end
Funds managed by NAC ("NAC Funds") and NIAC ("NIAC Funds") for the calendar year
ended 2002. Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of each
Fund, does not receive any compensation from a Fund or any Nuveen funds.

COMMITTEES
The Board has five standing committees: the executive committee, the audit
committee, the governance committee, the dividend committee and the valuation
committee.
Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger currently 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) and (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial
nature. The executive committee of each Fund held no meetings during its last
fiscal year except Insured California Tax-Free and Insured Florida Tax-Free each
held two (2) meetings during the last fiscal year.
Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are current members of the
dividend committee. The dividend 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 dividend
committee of each of the California Funds held three (3) meetings during its
last fiscal year. The dividend committee of each of the Florida Funds, the New
Jersey Funds and the Pennsylvania Funds held four (4) meetings, except the
Insured Florida Tax-Free Fund held three (3) meetings during its last fiscal
year.
Lawrence H. Brown and Judith M. Stockdale are current members of the valuation
committee for each Fund. The valuation committee 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 valuation committee
of each Fund held one (1) meeting during its last fiscal year.
Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Independent Board Members
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 or Section 121(a) of the
American Stock Exchange's listing standings, as applicable. 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
18
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. A copy of
the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix A.
The audit committee of each Fund held three (3) meetings during its last fiscal
year.
Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund
is committed to a 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 governance committee of each Fund held one (1) meeting during
its last fiscal year. In the event of a vacancy on the Board, the 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 Inc., 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL
60606. The 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 regarding the nomination of any new
Board Member.
The Board of each Fund held four (4) regular quarterly meetings and three (3)
special Board 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).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The audit committee of the Board is responsible for assisting the Board in
monitoring (1) the accounting and reporting policies and procedures of the
Funds, (2) the quality and integrity of the Fund's financial statements, (3)
each Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements, and (4) the independence
and performance of the 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 committee meets periodically with the independent and internal auditors
to consider their evaluation of the Fund's financial and internal controls. The
committee also selects, retains, evaluates and replaces each Fund's independent
auditors and determines their compensation, subject to ratification of the
Board, if required. The committee is currently composed of seven Board Members
and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy
of which is attached as Appendix A. Each committee member is independent as
defined by New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange listing
standards, as applicable.
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 auditors
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:
William E. Bennett*
Lawrence H. Brown
Peter R. Sawers
Judith M. Stockdale
Robert P. Bremner
Anne E. Impellizzeri
William J. Schneider
* Mr. Bennett was appointed to the Board and the audit committee of the NAC
Funds on July 29, 2003.

25
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Each Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, 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 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), require Board Members and officers, the
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 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 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 except that with
respect to New Jersey Dividend, New Jersey Dividend 2, Pennsylvania Dividend,
Pennsylvania Dividend 2, California Dividend 3 and Insured California Dividend a
late filing was made on Form 3 on behalf of NAC. 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 Investments, Inc., 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois
60606. Nuveen Investments, Inc., is approximately 79% 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 2004, a shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333
West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, not later than June 23, 2004. 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 September 6, 2004. Timely
submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included in a
proxy statement.
26
EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying
notice and proxy statement will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the
number of shareholder accounts. All other costs in connection with the
solicitation of proxies, will also be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the
number of shareholder accounts. Additional solicitation may be made by letter,
telephone or telegraph by officers or employees of Nuveen or the Adviser, or by
dealers and their representatives.
FISCAL YEAR
The last fiscal year end for each Fund except the California Funds was June 30,
2003. The last fiscal year end for the California Funds was August 31, 2003.
ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY
Annual reports were 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 any 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 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.
27
Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal if they
determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the
best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an adjournment of
a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.

APPENDIX A
NUVEEN MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES
AUDIT COMMITTEES CHARTER
Revised May, 2003
ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP
There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees of the Nuveen
Management Investment Companies (the "Funds") to be known as the Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee shall be composed 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 a Committee
member. In particular, each member must meet the independence and experience
requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Each such member of the
Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting and
be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. 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 be the Committee's "financial expert"). The Board
shall appoint the members of the Audit Committee, on the recommendation of the
Governance Committee.
STATEMENT OF POLICY
The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in monitoring (1) the accounting and
reporting policies and practices of the Management Investment Companies
(hereafter referred to as "Funds" or individually "Fund"), (2) the quality and
integrity of the financial statements of the Funds, (3) the Funds' compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements and (4) the independent auditors'
qualifications and independence, and the performance of the internal audit
function and independent auditors. 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 Nuveen.
The Audit Committee shall meet periodically with Nuveen management, the Funds'
internal auditor, and the Funds' independent auditors, in separate executive
sessions.
The Audit Committee shall have the authority and resources in its discretion to
retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee.
The Audit Committee may request any officer or employee of Nuveen Investments,
Inc. (or its affiliates) or the Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel
to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Committee. The Funds' independent auditors and internal
auditors shall have unrestricted accessibility at any time to Committee members.
A-1
RESPONSIBILITIES
Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems
for accounting, reporting 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. The independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the
Board and Audit Committee. It is the ultimate responsibility of the Audit
Committee to select, retain, evaluate and replace the independent auditors and
to determine their compensation, subject to ratification of the Board, if
required.
In carrying out its responsibilities the Audit Committee believes its policies
and procedures should remain flexible, in order to react to changing conditions
and requirements applicable to the Funds.
The Audit Committee is responsible for the following:
Fund Financial Statements:
1. Reviewing the annual audited 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
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 Committee, as deemed necessary or appropriate in the
Chairman's judgment.
3. Discussing with management the Funds' press releases regarding
dividends, as well as financial information and 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.
4. Discussing with management and the independent auditors significant
financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the
preparation 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 control deficiencies.
5. Discussing with management and the independent auditors the effect of
regulatory and accounting initiatives on the Funds' financial
statements.
A-2
6. Reviewing and discussing reports from the independent auditors
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 management the Funds' major financial risk exposures
and the steps management has taken to monitor and control these
