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.

("New Jersey Investment"), and Nuveen New Jersey Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("New Jersey Premium") (New Jersey Investment, New Jersey Premium, New Jersey Dividend and New Jersey Dividend 2 will be referred to collectively as the "New Jersey Funds"), each a Minnesota corporation (collectively referred to as the "Minnesota Corporations"), (individually, the Massachusetts Business Trusts and Minnesota Corporations are referred to as a "Fund" and collectively as the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual 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:

* The Common shares of all the Funds are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, except NCU, NVX, NZH, NKL, NKX, NWF, NXJ, NUJ, NXM and NVY, which are traded on the American Stock Exchange. 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.

(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.

Nuveen Investments, Inc. maintains charitable contributions programs to encourage the active support and involvement of individuals in the civic activities of their community. These programs include a matching contributions program and a direct contributions program. The 17 Independent Board Members of the funds managed by the Adviser are eligible to participate in the charitable contributions program of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Under the matching program, Nuveen Investments, Inc. will match the personal contributions of a Board Member to Section 501(c)(3) organizations up to an aggregate maximum amount of $10,000 during any calendar year. Under its direct (non-matching) program, Nuveen Investments, Inc. makes contributions to qualifying Section 501(c)(3) organizations, as approved by the Corporate Contributions Committee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. The Independent Board Members are also eligible to submit proposals to the committee requesting that contributions be made under this program to Section 501(c)(3) organizations identified by the Board Member, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000 during any calendar year. Any contribution made by Nuveen Investments, Inc. under the direct program is made solely at the discretion of the Corporate Contributions Committee. 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). 19 THE OFFICERS The following table sets forth information as of October 1, 2003 with respect to each officer, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board Member and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board.

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. 24 AUDIT AND RELATED FEES AUDIT FEES.

ALL NON-AUDIT FEES. The audit committee has generally considered whether the receipt of non-audit fees by Ernst & Young LLP from the Fund is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence. 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.

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.

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. Jessica R.
