NUVEEN FLORIDA INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL FUND NUVEEN FLORIDA QUALITY INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND NUVEEN INSURED FLORIDA PREMIUM INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND NUVEEN PENNSYLVANIA INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL FUND NUVEEN PENNSYLVANIA PREMIUM INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND 2 NUVEEN NEW JERSEY INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL FUND, INC. NUVEEN NEW JERSEY PREMIUM INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND, INC. GENERAL INFORMATION This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may be, (each a "Board" and each trustee or director a "Board Member") of each of Nuveen Florida Investment Quality Municipal Fund ("Florida Investment"), Nuveen Florida Quality Income Municipal Fund ("Florida Quality"), Nuveen Insured Florida Premium Income Municipal Fund ("Insured Florida"), Nuveen Pennsylvania Investment Quality Municipal Fund ("Pennsylvania Investment"), Nuveen Pennsylvania Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 ("Pennsylvania Premium"), Nuveen New Jersey Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. ("New Jersey Investment") and Nuveen New Jersey Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("New Jersey Premium") (individually, a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund to be held on December 10, 1997 (for each Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and, collectively, the "Annual Meetings"), and at any and all adjournments thereof. On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of that Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares of each Fund will be voted: FOR the election of the six Board nominees to be elected by all shareholders and the two Board nominees to be elected by holders of Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares ("MuniPreferred(R)"), as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement; and FOR ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as each Fund's independent auditors. Shareholders of any Fund who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending that Annual Meeting and voting in person. The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for each Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on a proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the vote on the proposal by the shareholders of another Fund. For convenience, the common shares or common stock, as the case may be, of each Fund shall be referred to in this Joint Proxy Statement as Common Shares. 1 4 The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to each matter:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matter Common Shares MuniPreferred - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Election of Board Members by all Shareholders X X (Robert Bremner, Lawrence Brown, Anthony Dean, Anne Impellizzeri, Peter Sawers and Judith Stockdale nominated) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Election of Board Members by MuniPreferred X only (William Schneider and Timothy Schwertfeger nominated) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratify Selection of Auditors X X - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred, 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 inspector of election appointed for that Annual Meeting. The inspector of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspector 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 matters submitted for a vote of the shareholders of each Fund other than New Jersey Investment and New Jersey Premium, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members and will have the same effect as shares voted against ratification of the selection of independent auditors. For purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote of the shareholders of New Jersey Investment and New Jersey Premium, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the election of Board Members and against ratification of the selection of independent auditors. The details of each proposal to be voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of each proposal are set forth under the description of each proposal below. As of October 13, 1997, there were issued and outstanding: 16,218,097 Common Shares and 2,200 shares of each series of MuniPreferred, Series T and F of Florida Investment; 14,061,331 Common Shares and 1,700 shares of each series of MuniPreferred, Series M and TH and 800 shares of MuniPreferred, Series F of Florida Quality; 14,290,929 Common Shares and 1,640 shares of MuniPreferred, Series W and 2,800 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of Insured Florida; 15,796,310 Common Shares and 2,400 shares of MuniPreferred, Series W and 2,000 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of Pennsylvania Investment; 15,747,463 Common Shares and 844 shares of MuniPreferred, Series M, 2,080 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH and 1,800 shares of MuniPreferred, Series F of Pennsylvania Premium; 19,621,888 Common Shares and 3,200 shares of MuniPreferred, Series M and 2,000 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of New Jersey Investment; and 11,873,216 Common Shares, and 624 shares of MuniPreferred, Series T, 1,440 shares of MuniPreferred, Series W and 1,600 shares of MuniPreferred, Series TH of New Jersey Premium. Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on October 13, 1997 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. 2 5 This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds on or about October 27, 1997. 1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH FUND At each Fund's Annual Meeting, eight (8) Board Members are to be elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Under the terms of each Fund's organizational documents, 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. The members of the Board and the nominees for election to the Board are the same for each Fund. Table I below shows the nominated Board Members of each Fund to be elected by holders of Common Shares and MuniPreferred, voting together as a single class. Table II below shows the nominated Board Members of each Fund to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred only. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of each Fund (except New Jersey Investment and New Jersey Premium) will be required to elect the Board Members of that Fund. For New Jersey Investment and New Jersey Premium, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at each Fund's Annual Meeting will be required to elect the Board Members of that Fund. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a Board Member of each Fund if elected; however, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the proxies for each Fund will be voted for one or more substitute nominees designated by that Fund's present Board. Tables I and II below show each nominee's age, principal occupations and other business affiliations, the year in which each nominee was first elected or appointed a Board Member of each Fund and the number of Common Shares of the Funds and of all Nuveen funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (excluding money market funds) that each nominee beneficially owned as of September 15, 1997. All of the nominees, except Ms. Stockdale and Messrs. Bremner and Schneider, were last elected to the Board at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders. Messrs. Bremner and Schneider were appointed to each Fund's Board in May 1997 and will be standing for election by each Fund's shareholders for the first time at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Bremner was appointed to fill the vacancy that existed on each Fund's Board and the appointment of Mr. Schneider was made in connection with an expansion in the size of the Board. In addition, Ms. Stockdale will also be standing for election by each Fund's shareholders for the first time at the Annual Meeting. Ms. Stockdale was appointed in July 1997 to fill a vacancy which occurred upon the retirement of Margaret K. Rosenheim from each Fund's Board on July 30, 1997. Pursuant to the term limits set by the Board, Mrs. Rosenheim was not eligible for reelection. The Board and management of the Nuveen Funds wish to express their appreciation to Mrs. Rosenheim for her contributions to the Nuveen Funds.

SECTION 16 REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 30(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, require each Fund's officers and Board Members, investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to that Fund's officers and Board Members, investment adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser were complied with. 9 12 ANNUAL REPORT DELIVERY Annual reports were sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following such Fund's fiscal year end. EACH FUND WILL FURNISH, WITHOUT CHARGE, A COPY OF ITS JUNE 30, 1997 ANNUAL REPORT UPON REQUEST. SUCH WRITTEN OR ORAL REQUEST SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO SUCH FUND AT 333 WEST WACKER DRIVE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60606 OR BY CALLING 1-800-257-8787. GENERAL Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at any Fund's Annual Meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies. A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's Annual Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business hours for ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting. Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN PERSON, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES. Gifford R.
