Correction Materials

Dear Stockholders:

As a stockholder of Global Income & Currency Fund Inc., you are being asked to vote for Nuveen Asset Management to continue to act as subadviser for Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (“Global Income & Currency Fund”).

It has come to our attention that the Proxy Cards many of our Global Income & Currency Fund stockholders received were incorrectly printed with the name of a subadviser that is an affiliate of Nuveen Asset Management.

Please note that Nuveen HydePark Group, LLC (“HydePark”) is not being proposed to serve as the subadviser for Global Income & Currency Fund. (HydePark is being proposed as a subadviser for certain other closed-end funds in the IQ Fund complex.) The Board of Directors recommends that you vote for the proposal for Nuveen Asset Management to continue to serve as subadviser for Global Income & Currency Fund.

We have enclosed a corrected proxy voting card and apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. If you have already voted, your vote will be counted as indicated on your proxy in respect of the proposal for Nuveen Asset Management to serve as subadviser and you do not need to vote again. If you have not already voted, or if you wish to change your voting instructions, you may do so by mailing in the enclosed proxy card or by calling Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. toll-free at (877) 333-2259.

 

Sincerely,
Donald C. Burke
