Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

The financial markets in which your Fund operates continue to reflect the larger economic crosscurrents. The illiquidity that infected global credit markets over the last year continues to recede but there is concern about the impact of a reduction in official liquidity support programs. The major institutions that are the linchpin of the international financial system have strengthened their capital structures, but many still struggle with losses in their various portfolios. Global trends include increasing trade and concern about the ability of the U.S. government to address its substantial budgetary deficits.

While the fixed-income and equity markets have recovered from the lows recorded in late 2008 and early 2009, identifying those developments that will define the future is never easy, and rarely is it more difficult than at present. A fundamental component of a successful investment program is a commitment to remain focused on long-term investment goals even during periods of heightened market uncertainty. Another component is to re-evaluate investment disciplines and tactics and to confirm their validity following periods of extreme volatility and market dislocation, such as we have recently experienced. Your Board carried out an intensive review of investment performance with these objectives in mind during April and May of 2009 as part of the annual management contract renewal process. I encourage you to read the description of this process in the Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process section of this report. Confirming the appropriateness of a long term investment strategy is as important for our shareholders as it is for our professional investment managers. For that reason, I again encourage you to remain in communication with your financial consultant on this subject.

On behalf of the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board and Lead Independent Director
February 22, 2010

These Funds feature portfolio management by Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC. J. Patrick Rogers and Kenneth H. Toft serve as co-portfolio managers for JSN and JLA; Patrick and Michael T. Buckius are co-portfolio managers for JPZ and JPG. Patrick joined Gateway in 1989 and is a member of its Board, President and has been Chief Executive Officer since 2006. Ken joined Gateway in 1992 and has been a Vice President and Portfolio Manager since 1997. Mike joined Gateway in 1999 and is currently Senior Vice President and Portfolio Manager. Here they talk about economic and market conditions, their management strategies and the performance of the Funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.

What were the general market conditions during the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2009?

The general market conditions during this period were among the most fluctuating and challenging on record. The financial crisis that began to accelerate in the last half of 2008 was in full force by the first quarter of 2009. For the first time since the 1930s, the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Japan experienced recessions simultaneously.

In response, the U.S. government enacted a $787 billion economic stimulus plan early in 2009, and provided additional funds for large financial institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) started in 2008. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") maintained a fed funds target range of zero to 0.25%, its lowest level in history. In addition, the Fed announced in March that it would buy $300 billion in long-term Treasury securities in an effort to support private credit markets and up to an additional $750 billion (for a total of $1.25 trillion) in agency mortgage-backed securities to bolster the housing market. The government also took steps to prevent the collapse of the American auto industry.

By the second quarter of 2009, some positive signals began to emerge. Most major banks seemed to have raised sufficient capital to survive in the downturn, with several of them even appearing to thrive. Domestic equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rocketed up from the lows experienced in March. Bond investors seemed more willing to hold municipal and corporate securities, causing the pricing relationships between these issues and U.S. Treasury securities to adjust toward historical norms.

Counterbalancing these trends, the unemployment rate at year end was 10% and the general credit markets were still constricted, suggesting that the road to full recovery would not be quick or easy.

The year 2009 was an extraordinary period for both stock and option markets. During the period January 1 through March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 Index and NASDAQ-100 Index were down 24.63% and 13.68%, respectively. At year end, the S&P 500 Stock Index managed to post a positive return for 2009 of 26.46% with most major bond indexes also showing positive performance.

As one might expect in a year of such stock market extremes, volatility remained high throughout the year. The average level for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (the "VIX") during the year was 31.5, well-above its historical average. While the VIX is derived from S&P 500 Index option activity, its equivalent for the NASDAQ-100 Index, (the "VXN") posted a yearly average of over 31.8, a level also above its historical average.

Over this period, what key strategies were used to manage the Funds?

The core strategy employed in each Fund consists of an investment in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities that seeks to substantially track the price movement of a stock market index or a custom blend of stock market indexes. The primary purpose of each equity portfolio is to support the index option-based risk management strategy employed by each Fund. These strategies remained consistent in each Fund throughout the period.

For JPZ and JPG, the equity portfolio seeks to track the price movements of the Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 Stock Index. The JSN equity portfolio is invested to replicate the price performance of a custom index consisting of 75% S&P 500 Index and 25% NASDAQ-100 Index. JLA seeks to replicate a 50/50 blend of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ-100 Indexes. JPZ, JSN and JLA actively write (sell) listed index call options against substantially all of their entire stock portfolios. JPG differs in that its index option hedging activity is applied to 80% of the value of the equity portfolio.

During this period, the Fund's Board of Trustees removed the limitation that had allowed JPZ to purchase non-US securities only from developed countries. The Fund now is allowed to hold up to 20% of its equity portfolio in U.S. dollar-denominated common stocks of non-U.S. issuers with no limitation regarding whether these non-U.S. issuers are from developed or emerging market countries. This change establishes consistent policies across all four of these Funds.

* Since inception returns for JPZ are as of 10/26/04, for JSN as of 1/26/05, for JLA as of 5/25/05, and for JPG as of 11/22/05. Index returns, which are based on month end data, begin at the end of the month of the Fund's inception.

The strong equity markets over the period from March 9, 2009, to December 31, 2009, had a very positive impact on the values of the Funds' stock portfolios and their comparative equity indexes. For example, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ-100 Index were up 67.80% and 79.13%, respectively, during this specific time period, more than offsetting their poor performance in the first nine weeks of 2009.

As noted earlier, each of these Funds seeks to manage risk by selling index option calls covering the value of much or all of each Fund's equity holdings. This strategy provides incremental cash flow to the Funds, but also effectively limits the amount of upside potential the Funds can get from their equity holdings. In neutral or rapidly declining equity market environments, this additional cash flow may lead to opportunities for relative outperformance. However, in a market environment marked by sharply rising equity prices, as was the case in most of the past calendar year, the Funds' call option strategies may place them at a comparative performance disadvantage – as can be seen in the Funds' 2009 results.

As management fully expects the Funds to lag the equity markets during substantial market rallies, we believe investors should not lose sight of the potential risk reduction benefits provided by the Fund's index option strategies. The heightened equity market volatility in 2009 that we noted earlier resulted in continued strong cash flow from each Fund's index call option transactions. This increased cash flow served two important purposes: first, more cash was available to support the Funds' quarterly distributions, and second, the higher premiums received helped lower the overall risk profiles of the Funds. All of the Funds produced positive, double-digit returns in 2009, compared with negative performance in 2008. In particular, each Fund posted a NAV return of 5% or greater in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009.

Distribution and Share Price Information

The following information regarding your Fund's distributions is current as of December 31, 2009, and likely will vary over time based on each Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.

JPZ reduced its quarterly distribution to shareholders once over the course of 2009. Some of the factors affecting these distributions are summarized below.

Each Fund has a managed distribution program. The goal of this program is to provide shareholders with relatively consistent and predictable cash flow by systematically converting the Fund's expected long-term return potential into regular distributions. As a result, regular distributions throughout the year are likely to include a portion of expected long-term gains (both realized and unrealized), along with net investment income.

Important points to understand about the managed distribution program are:

•  Each Fund seeks to establish a relatively stable distribution rate that roughly corresponds to the projected total return from its investment strategy over an extended period of time. However, you should not draw any conclusions about a Fund's past or future investment performance from its current distribution rate.

•  Actual returns will differ from projected long-term returns (and therefore a Fund's distribution rate), at least over shorter time periods. Over a specific timeframe, the difference between actual returns and total distributions will be reflected in an increasing (returns exceed distributions) or a decreasing (distributions exceed returns) Fund net asset value.

•  Each distribution is expected to be paid from some or all of the following sources:

•  net investment income (regular interest and dividends),

•  realized capital gains, and

•  unrealized gains, or, in certain cases, a return of principal (non-taxable distributions).

•  A non-taxable distribution is a payment of a portion of a Fund's capital. When a Fund's returns exceed distributions, it may represent portfolio gains generated, but not realized as a taxable capital gain. In periods when a Fund's return falls short of distributions, the shortfall will represent a portion of your original principal, unless the shortfall is offset during other time periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent) when a Fund's total return exceeds distributions.

•  Because distribution source estimates are updated during the year based on a Fund's performance and forecast for its current fiscal year (which is the calendar year for each

Fund), estimates on the nature of your distributions provided at the time distributions are paid may differ from both the tax information reported to you in your Fund's IRS Form 1099 statement provided at year end, as well as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of your investment.

The following table provides information regarding each Fund's distributions and total return performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. This information is intended to help you better understand whether the Fund's returns for the specified time period were sufficient to meet each Fund's distributions.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) symbols are Nuveen Equity Premium Income Fund (JPZ), Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity Fund (JSN), Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage Fund (JLA) and Nuveen Equity Premium and Growth Fund (JPG) (collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies.

Equity Premium Income's (JPZ) investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Stock Index. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling index call options in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Equity Premium Opportunity's (JSN) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains from net index option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of a 75% / 25% combination of the S&P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ-100 Stock Index, respectively. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling S&P 500 and NASDAQ index call options in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Equity Premium Advantage's (JLA) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains from net index option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of a 50% / 50% combination of the S&P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ-100 Stock Index, respectively. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling S&P 500 and NASDAQ index call options in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

Equity Premium and Growth's (JPG) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains from net index option premiums. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation consistent with the Fund's strategy and its primary objective. The Fund invests its managed assets in a diversified equity portfolio that seeks to substantially replicate price movements of the S&P 500 Stock Index. The Fund also uses an index option strategy of selling index call options covering approximately 80% of the value of the Fund's equity portfolio in seeking to moderate the volatility of returns relative to an all equity portfolio.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM (the "Codification") as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not have a material effect on the Funds' financial statements.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Investment Valuation

Exchange-listed securities are generally valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If significant market events occur between the time of the determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Fund's NAV is determined, or if under the Fund's procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, and there could be a material effect on the Fund's NAV, the security would be

valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available, the pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular investment, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market data including prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

Index options are generally valued at the average of the closing bid and asked quotations. The close of trading of index options traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange normally occurs at 4:15 Eastern Time (ET), which is different from the normal 4:00 ET close of the NYSE (the time of day as of which each Fund's NAV is calculated). Under normal market circumstances, closing index option quotations are considered to reflect the index option contract values as of the close of the NYSE and will be used to value the option contracts. However, a significant change in the S&P 500 or NASDAQ-100 futures contracts between the NYSE close and the options market close will be considered as an indication that closing market quotations for index options do not reflect the value of the contracts as of the stock market close. In the event of such a significant change, the Fund's Board of Trustees, or its designee, will determine a valu e for the options. Any such valuation will likely take into account any information that may be available about the actual trading price of the affected option as of 4:00 ET, and if no such information is reliably available, the valuation of the option may take into account various option pricing methodologies, as determined to be appropriate under the circumstances.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method.

Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. In any year when the Funds realize net capital gains, each Fund may choose to distribute all or a portion of its net capital gains to shareholders, or alternatively, to retain all or a portion of its net capital gains and pay federal corporate income taxes on such retained gains.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The Funds make quarterly cash distributions to shareholders of a stated dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Funds' Board of Trustees, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund's investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a "Managed Distribution Program"). Total distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from each Fund's net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains in the Fund's portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid from net unrealized gains, if any, would be distributed from the Fund's assets and would be treated by shareholders as a non-taxable distribution for tax purposes. In the event that total distributions during a calendar year exceed a Fund's total return on net asset value, the difference will be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes and will reduce net asset value per share. If a Fund's total return on net asset value exceeds total distributions during a calendar year, the excess will be reflected as an increase in net asset value per share. The final determination of the source and character of all distributions for the fiscal year are made after the end of the fiscal year and are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Each Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Fund's investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

spot (i.e. cash) at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. E.T. Investments, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received.

The realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency" and "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Options Transactions

The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and are authorized to purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities, futures, swaps ("swaptions") or currencies in an attempt to manage this and other possible risks. The purchase of put options involves the risk of loss of all or a part of the cash paid for the options. Put options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The risk associated with purchasing put options is limited to the premium paid. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of "Call options written, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option until the option expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in v alue of options written during the fiscal period are recognized as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of call options written" on the Statement of Operations. When a written call or put option expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on the closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as "Net realized gain (loss) from call options written" on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. There is the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

The Funds did not purchase call or put options during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The average notional amount of call options written during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, was as follows:

	Equity Premium Income (JPZ)			Equity Premium Opportunity (JSN)			Equity Premium Advantage (JLA)			Equity Premium and Growth (JPG)
Average notional amount of call options written	$	(463,229,500	)	$	(808,979,250	)	$	(320,571,850	)	$	(165,521,500	)

Refer to Footnote 3—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on call options written.

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions. The extent of each Fund's exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guar antees the futures contracts against default.

Nuveen Investments
52

Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuat e, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Fair Value Measurements

In determining the value of each Fund's investments, various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including management's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of December 31, 2009:

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted amendments to authoritative guidance under GAAP on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. This guidance is intended to enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to better understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments; b) how derivative instruments are accounted for; and c) how derivative instruments affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows, if any. The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, under this guidance they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolios of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables present the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Funds as of December 31, 2009, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

6. Income Tax Information

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recording income, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the recognition of unrealized gain or loss for tax (mark-to-market) on option contracts. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

At December 31, 2009, the cost of investments (excluding call options written) was as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund's shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Average Daily Managed Assets*	Equity Premium Income (JPZ) Equity Premium Opportunity (JSN) Equity Premium Advantage (JLA) Fund-Level Fee Rate
For the first $500 million		.7000	%
For the next $500 million		.6750
For the next $500 million		.6500
For the next $500 million		.6250
For Managed Assets over $2 billion		.6000
Average Daily Managed Assets*	Equity Premium and Growth (JPG) Fund-Level Fee Rate
For the first $500 million		.6800	%
For the next $500 million		.6550
For the next $500 million		.6300
For the next $500 million		.6050
For Managed Assets over $2 billion		.5800

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Complex-Level Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion		.2000	%
$56 billion		.1996
$57 billion		.1989
$60 billion		.1961
$63 billion		.1931
$66 billion		.1900
$71 billion		.1851
$76 billion		.1806
$80 billion		.1773
$91 billion		.1691
$125 billion		.1599
$200 billion		.1505
$250 billion		.1469
$300 billion		.1445

*  The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds, with such daily managed assets defined separately for each fund in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level fees, daily managed assets includes assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to each fund's use of financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds' use of preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circ umstances. As of December 31, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was .1887%.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for the overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC ("Gateway"), under which Gateway manages the investment portfolio of the Fund. Gateway is compensated for its services to the Fund from the management fee paid to the Adviser.

The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred

Nuveen Investments
58

compensation plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.

For the first eight years of Equity Premium Income's (JPZ) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily managed assets, for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

On January 21, 2010, FASB issued changes to the authoritative guidance under GAAP for fair value measurements. The objective of which is to provide guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for both Level 2 and Level 3 positions, ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) on a gross basis (i.e., transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 rollforward must be shown on a gross basis rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the requirement to provide th e Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time the Fund is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

*  Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

  Total Return Based on Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

**  After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. Expense ratios do not reflect the reduction of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.

***  Rounds to less than $.01 per share.

****  Annualized.

(a)  Per share Net Investment Income is calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)  For the period January 26, 2005 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2005.

(c)  For the period May 25, 2005 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2005.

Annual Investment Management
Agreement Approval Process

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser (including sub-advisers) will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "Independent Board Members"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members mus t request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 27-29, 2009 (the "May Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees (each, a "Board" and each Trustee, a "Board Member") of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Funds for an additional one-year period. These agreements include the investment advisory agreements between Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") and each Fund and the sub-advisory agreements between NAM and Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"). In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2009 (the "April Meeting"). Accordingly, the factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.

In addition, in evaluating the applicable advisory agreements (each an "Investment Management Agreement") and sub-advisory agreements (each a "Sub-advisory Agreement," and each Investment Management Agreement and Sub-advisory Agreement, an "Advisory Agreement"), the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds, NAM and the Sub-Adviser (NAM and the Sub-Adviser are each a "Fund Adviser"), including absolute performance, fee and expense information for the Funds as well as comparative performance, fee and expense information for a comparable peer group of funds, the performance information of recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable) of the Funds, the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries other than Winslow Capital Management, Inc. ("Winslow Capital"), which was recently acquired in December 2008), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and services provided by the respective Fund Adviser. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent

Nuveen Investments
68

Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of the Fund Adviser, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund's Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members' considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of the Fund Adviser's services, including advisory services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser's organization and business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line.

In reviewing the services provided and the initiatives undertaken during the past year, the Independent Board Members recognized the severe market turmoil experienced in the capital markets during recent periods, including sustained periods of high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. The Independent Board Members considered the Fund Adviser's efforts, expertise and other actions taken to address matters as they arose that impacted the Funds. The Independent Board Members recognized the role of the Investment Services group which, among other things, monitors the various positions throughout the Nuveen fund complex to identify and address any systematic risks. In addition, the Capital Markets Committee of NAM provides a multi-departmental venue for developing new policies to mitigate any risks. The Independent Board Members further recognized NAM's continuous review of the Nuveen funds' investment strategie s and mandates in seeking to continue to refine and improve the investment process for the funds, particularly in light of market conditions. With respect to closed-end funds that issued auction rate preferred shares ("ARPs") or that otherwise utilize leverage, the Independent Board Members noted, in particular, NAM's efforts in refinancing the preferred shares of such funds frozen by the collapse of the auction rate market and managing leverage during a period of rapid market declines, particularly for the non-equity funds. Such efforts included negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs, liquidating portfolio securities during difficult times to meet

Approval Process (continued)

leverage ratios, and seeking alternative forms of debt and other leverage that may over time reduce financing costs associated with ARPs and enable the funds that have issued ARPs to restore liquidity to ARPs holders. The Independent Board Members also noted Nuveen's continued commitment and efforts to keep investors and financial advisers informed as to its progress with the ARPs through, among other things, conference calls, emails, press releases, information posted on its website, and telephone calls and in-person meetings with financial advisers. In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations program to provide timely information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing advertising and marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining websites; and providing educational seminars.

As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the background, experience and track record of the Fund Adviser's investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel, and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate the Fund Adviser's ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive for taking undue risks.

In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members considered NAM's compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures.

The Independent Board Members also considered NAM's oversight of the performance, business activities and compliance of the Sub-Adviser. In that regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed an evaluation of the Sub-Adviser from NAM. The evaluation also included information relating to the Sub-Adviser's organization, operations, personnel, assets under management, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques in managing the Funds, developments affecting the Sub-Adviser, and an analysis of the Sub-Adviser. As described in further detail below, the Board considered the performance of the Funds. The Board also recognized that the Sub-advisory Agreements were essentially agreements for portfolio management services only and the Sub-Adviser was not expected to supply other significant administrative services to the Funds. As part of their oversight, the Independent Board Members also continued their program of seeking to visit e ach sub-adviser to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. The Independent Board Members noted that NAM recommended the renewal of the applicable Sub-advisory Agreements

Nuveen Investments
70

and considered the basis for such recommendations and any qualifications in connection therewith.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds under the respective Investment Management Agreement or Sub-advisory Agreement, as applicable, were satisfactory.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including the Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data as well as recognized and/or customized benchmarks. The Independent Board Members reviewed performance information including, among other things, total return information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer Group and recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter-, one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2008 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2009. The Independent Board Members also reviewed performance information of the Nuveen funds managed by the Sub-Adviser in the ag gregate ranked by peer group and the performance of such funds, in the aggregate, relative to their benchmark. This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.

In comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the Independent Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer Group in certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund's investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison of the fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group. The Independent Board Members further considered the performance of the Funds in the context of the volatile market conditions during the past year, and their impact on various asset classes and the portfolio management of the Funds.

Based on their review and factoring in the severity of market turmoil in 2008, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance over time had been satisfactory.

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability

1. Fees and Expenses

The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees, net management fees and total expense ratios (before and after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the "Peer Universe") and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the "Peer Group").

Nuveen Investments
71

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (continued)

The Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such as the asset level of a fund relative to peers, the size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group, the investment objectives of the peers, expense anomalies, changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year, levels of reimbursement and the timing of information used may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison. The Independent Board Members also considered, among other things, the differences in the use and type of leverage compared to the peers. In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level an d complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999).

Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees and net total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.

2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients

The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients. Such clients include separately managed accounts (both retail and institutional accounts) and funds that are not offered by Nuveen but are sub-advised by one of Nuveen's investment management teams. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among other things, because of the different services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account si zes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.

In considering the fees of the Sub-Adviser, the Independent Board Members also considered the pricing schedule or fees that the Sub-Adviser charges for similar investment management services for other fund sponsors or clients (such as retail and/or institutional managed accounts) as applicable. The Independent Board Members noted that such fees were the result of arm's-length negotiations.

3. Profitability of Fund Advisers

In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers other than Winslow Capital) and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2008. In addition, the Independent Board Members reviewed information regarding the financial results of Nuveen for 2008 based on its Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2009. The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the profitability information requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen's revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition prepared by Nuveen.

In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's investment in its fund business.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided. The Independent Board Members also considered the Sub-Adviser's revenues, expenses and profitability margins (pre- and post-tax). Based on their review, the Independent Board Members were satisfied that the Sub-Adviser's level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Funds as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly

Approval Process (continued)

attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits the Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.

D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale

With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset levels increase. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that although closed-end funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets will occ ur primarily through the appreciation of such funds' investment portfolio. While economies of scale result when costs can be spread over a larger asset base, the Independent Board Members also recognized that the asset levels generally declined in 2008 due to, among other things, the market downturn. Accordingly, for funds with a reduction in assets under management, advisory fee levels may have increased as breakpoints in the fee schedule were no longer surpassed.

In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered the Funds' complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex generally are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen's costs are attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base. Generally, the complex-wide pricing reduces Nuveen's revenue because total complex fund assets have consistently grown in prior years. As noted, however, total fund assets declined in 2008 resulting in a smaller downward adj ustment of revenues due to complex-wide pricing compared to the prior year.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement (as applicable) were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.

E. Indirect Benefits

In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk.

In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Fund Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. With respect to NAM, the Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions. With respect to the Sub-Adviser, the Board considered that while the Sub-Adviser may select brokers that provide it with research services, it is the Sub-Adviser's current practice not to receive soft dollar cre dits in connection with trades executed for the Funds.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

F. Other Considerations

The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements and Sub-advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-advisory Agreements be renewed.

Reinvest Automatically
Easily and Conveniently

Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.

Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested.

It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

Easy and convenient

To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each quarter you'll receive a statement showing your total distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

How shares are purchased

The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid

Nuveen Investments

Reinvest Automatically
Easily and Conveniently (continued)

by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

Flexible

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your financial advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report

•  Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.

•  Current Distribution Rate: Current distribution rate is based on the Fund's current annualized quarterly distribution divided by the Fund's current market price. The Fund's quarterly distributions to its shareholders may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and, if at the end of the calendar year the Fund's cumulative net ordinary income and net realized gains are less than the amount of the Fund's distributions, a tax return of capital.

•  Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund's NAV per share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Adviser has engaged Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (formerly known as Gateway Investment Advisers, L.P.) (“Gateway” or the “Sub-Adviser”) as Sub-Adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services. As part of these services, the Adviser has also delegated to the Sub-Adviser the full responsibility for proxy voting and related duties in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s policy and procedures. The Adviser periodically will monitor the Sub-Adviser’s voting to ensure that they are carrying out their duties. The Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures are summarized as follows:

The SEC has issued regulations with respect to proxy voti ng for all registered investment advisers and their clients. To meet these requirements on a client’s behalf, Gateway has adopted policies as described below.

Gateway recognizes that voting rights are financial assets of a client’s account and that they must be managed accordingly, with voting decisions made in the client’s best interests. To that end and because of increasing complexity in administering policies in this area, Gateway has contracted with Institutional Shareholder Services, an affiliate of RiskMetrics Group (“ISS”), a nationally recognized proxy voting agent, to assist in administering client proxy votes and to provide voting recommendation on each ballot issue. ISS has developed its US Proxy Voting Manual, which provides guidelines for proxy voti ng that are designed to serve the best interest of investors. Effective July 1, 2003, Gateway incorporated these guidelines into its proxy voting policies and procedures and has instructed ISS to vote accordingly. Gateway’s policies and procedures now reflect ISS’s voting guidelines with regard to particular types of issues that my come before shareholder meetings, and also address the rare circumstances in which ISS’ voting recommendations may not be followed. The procedures also describe how any conflicts of interest would be handled.

The regulations were implemented to improve corporate governance and the functioning of the free market. We support these objectives and have adopted the policies and procedures as described above to effectively represent each client&# 146;s interests.

A client may obtain Gateway’s full proxy voting policy upon request. For clients for whom Gateway votes proxies, a voting record for an account’s respective votes can be obtained by calling or writing Gateway.

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Adviser has engaged Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC (formerly known as Gateway Investment Advisers, L.P.) (“Gateway”, or the “Sub-Adviser”), as sub-adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services.  The following section provides information on the portfolio managers at the Sub-Adviser.

Item 8 (a)(1).  PORTFOLIO MANAGER BIOGRAPHIES

J. Patrick Rogers and Kenneth H. Toft- J. Patrick Rogers, CFA, and Kenneth H. Toft, CFA, are the portfolio managers at Gateway responsible for investing the Managed Assets of the Nuveen Equity Premium Opportunity and Nuveen Equity Premium Advantage Funds.   Mr. Rogers is Gateway’s Chief Executive Officer.  He joined Gateway in 1989 and has been the President and a member of the Board of Directors of Gateway since 1995.  Mr. Rogers also serves as co-portfolio manager of Gateway’s flagship open-end fund, the Gateway Fund. Mr. Toft joined Gateway in 1992 and has been Vice President and Portfolio Manager since 1997, prior to which he held the position of Senior Trader and Research Analyst.

Item 8 (a)(2).  OTHER ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

As of December 31, 2009, Mr. Rogers was responsible for day-to-day management of 1 registered investment company account (excluding the Funds) having assets of approximately $4.7 billion.  Mr. Toft was not responsible for day-to-day management of any investment company accounts other than the above-referenced Nuveen Funds.  Mr. Rogers was responsible for day-to-day management of 2 other pooled investment vehicles having assets of approximately $86 million.  Mr. Rogers was responsible for day-to-day management of 38 other accounts having assets of approximately $458 million in the aggregate, and Mr. Toft was responsible for day-to-day management of 18 other accounts having assets of approximately $295 million in the aggregate. Neither Mr. Rogers nor Mr. Toft managed any accounts having a performance based investment advisory fee.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

As described above, the portfolio managers may manage other accounts with investment strategies similar to the Funds, including other investment companies and separately managed accounts.  Fees earned by Gateway may vary among these accounts and the portfolio managers may personally invest in some but not all of these accounts.  These factors could create conflicts of interest because a portfolio manager may have incentives to favor certain accounts over others, resulting in other accounts outperforming one or more of the Funds.  A conflict may also exist if a portfolio manager identified a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but one or more of the Funds are not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts.  In addition, the portfolio manager may execute transactions for another account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by one or more of the Funds.  However, Gateway believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject to exceptions

to account for particular investment restrictions or policies applicable only to certain accounts, differences in cash flows and account sizes, and similar factors.  In addition, Gateway has adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation of trade orders for a particular security among participating accounts.

Item 8 (a)(3).  FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION

Messrs. Rogers and Toft are compensated for their services by Gateway.  Their compensation consists of a fixed salary, incentive compensation related to the financial performance of Gateway (but not based on the investment performance of any of the Funds or any other managed account, either absolutely or in relation to any benchmark), and a retirement plan.  The incentive compensation component is anticipated to be larger than the base salary component.  Mr. Rogers’ employment agreement has an initial term ending December 31, 2012 and Mr. Toft’s employment agreement has an initial term ending December 31, 2010.  Each of the employment agreements provides for automatic renewals for successive one-year periods and, among other things, a specified base salary and certain undertakings not to compete with the Adviser or solicit its clients.  For Mr. Rogers, those undertakings will expire the later of eight years from the date of the sale of assets of Gateway’s predecessor to Gateway (the “Gateway Transaction”) or three years from the termination of Mr. Rogers’ employment.  For Mr. Toft, the non-competition and non solicitation undertakings will expire the later of three years from the date of the Gateway Transaction, one year from the termination of employment, or one year after the period during which severance payments are made pursuant to the agreement.  The profit sharing plan, applicable to Messrs. Rogers and Toft, provides for both a long-term incentive pool and a short-term incentive pool, the sizes of which will be determined based on profitability of Gateway.
