2002 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

April 25, 2002

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Boards of Directors or Trustees of the above-listed funds (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), to be voted at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of each Fund (the “Meeting”), to be held at the offices of Fund Asset Management L.P. (“FAM”), 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey, on Thursday, April 25, 2002 at the time specified in Exhibit A hereto. The approximate mailing date of this Proxy Statement is March 26, 2002.

Each Fund is organized either as a Maryland corporation or a Massachusetts business trust. In each jurisdiction, nomenclature varies. For ease and clarity of presentation throughout the proxy statement, shares of common stock or common shares of beneficial interest of a Fund are referred to as “Shares,” the outstanding Shares together with the outstanding auction market preferred stock or auction market preferred shares (“AMPS”) of a Fund are referred to collectively as the “Capital Stock,” holders of Shares or AMPS are referred to as “Stockholders,” the Board of Directors or Trustees of each of the Funds is referred to as the “Board,” the directors or trustees of each Fund are referred to as “Board members,” the investment adviser of each Fund is referred to as the “Investment Adviser” or “FAM” and each Fund’s Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of Trust is referred to as its ‘‘charter.’’

All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, such proxies will be voted for the election of the Board members. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by giving written notice to the Secretary of the applicable Fund at that Fund’s address indicated above or by voting in person at the Meeting.

The Board of each Fund has fixed the close of business on February 28, 2002, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Stockholders on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. As of the Record Date, each Fund had outstanding the number of Shares and the number of AMPS indicated in Exhibit A. To the knowledge of each Fund, as of the Record Date, no person is the beneficial owner of more than five percent of its outstanding Shares or AMPS at such date.

The Board of each Fund knows of no business other than that mentioned in Item 1 of the Notice of Meeting that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment.

ITEM 1.    ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS

At the Meetings, the Board members of each Fund will be elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders for such Fund and until their successors are elected and qualified. The Board member nominees are M. Colyer Crum, Laurie Simon Hodrick, Terry K. Glenn, J. Thomas Touchton and Fred G. Weiss.

It is intended that all properly executed proxies will be voted (unless such authority has been withheld in the proxy) as follows:

(1) All proxies of the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class, in favor of the two (2) persons designated in Exhibit B as Board members to be elected by holders of AMPS; and

(2) All proxies of the holders of Shares and AMPS, voting together as a single class, in favor of the three (3) persons designated in Exhibit B as Board members to be elected by holders of Shares and AMPS.

The Board of each Fund knows of no reason why any of these nominees will be unable to serve, but in the event of any such unavailability, the proxies received will be voted for such substitute nominee or nominees as the Board for such Fund may recommend.

Committee Report.    The Board of each Fund has a standing Audit and Nominating Committee (the ‘‘Committee’’), which consists of Board members who are not ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the ‘‘Investment Company Act’’) and who are ‘‘independent’’ as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Currently, Messrs. Crum, Touchton and Weiss and Ms. Hodrick are members of the Committee. The principal responsibilities of the Committee are to: (i) recommend to the Board the selection, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent auditors; (ii) review with the independent auditors the scope, performance and anticipated cost of their audit; (iii) discuss with the independent auditors certain matters relating to the Fund’s financial statements, including any adjustment to such financial statements recommended by such independent auditors, or any other results of any audit; (iv) review on a periodic basis a formal written statement from the independent auditors with respect to their independence, discuss with the independent auditors any relationships or services disclosed in the statement that may impact the objectivity and independence of the Fund’s independent auditors and recommend that the Board take appropriate action in response thereto to satisfy itself of the independent auditors independence; and (v) consider the comments of the independent auditors and management’s responses thereto with respect to the quality and adequacy of the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls.

Each Fund adopted an Audit Committee Charter at a meeting held on May 23, 2000. Each Fund revised and reapproved the Charter on May 8, 2001. A copy of the revised Audit Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit D. The Committee also has (a) received written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 from Deloitte & Touche LLP (‘‘D&T’’), independent auditors for MuniYield Florida Insured Fund, MuniYield Pennsylvania Insured Fund and MuniYield New Jersey Insured Fund, Inc. and Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), independent auditors for MuniYield Michigan Insured Fund, Inc. and (b) discussed certain matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61 with D&T and E&Y. The Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Funds’ independent auditors is compatible with maintaining the independence of those auditors.

At its meeting held on December 17, 2001, the Committee reviewed and discussed the audit of each Fund’s financial statements with Fund management and D&T and E&Y, as applicable. No material concerns arose during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to

2

Stockholders and included in each Fund’s Annual Report. Based on these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that each Fund’s audited financial statements be included in that Fund’s Annual Report to Stockholders.

In addition to the above, the Committee also reviews and nominates candidates to serve as non-interested Board members. The Committee generally will not consider nominees recommended by stockholders of a Fund. The non-interested Board members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with these duties.

Committee and Board Meetings.    During each Fund’s last fiscal year, each of the Board members then in office attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board held during the fiscal year and, if a member, the total number of meetings of the Committee held during the period for which he or she served.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the officers and directors of each Fund and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

Based solely on each Fund’s review of the copies of such forms, and amendments thereto, furnished to it during or with respect to its most recent fiscal year, and written representations from certain reporting persons that they were not required to file Form 5 with respect to the most recent fiscal year, each Fund believes that all of its officers, directors, greater than ten percent beneficial owners and other persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act because of the requirements of Section 30 of the Investment Company Act (i.e., any advisory board member, investment adviser or affiliated person of the Fund’s Investment Adviser), have complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, except that (i) J. Thomas Touchton inadvertently made a late Form 4 filing reporting his Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership for MuniYield Florida Insured Fund, and (ii) Michael G. Clark inadvertently made a late Form 4 filing reporting his Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership for each of the Funds.

Interested Persons.    Each Fund considers Mr. Glenn to be an “interested person” of the Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act. Mr Glenn is the President of each Fund.

Compensation of Board Members.    FAM, the investment adviser of each Fund, pays all compensation to all officers of the Fund and all Board members of the Fund who are affiliated with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“ML & Co.”) or its affiliates. Each Fund pays each Board member not affiliated with FAM (each, a “non-affiliated Board member”) an annual fee plus a fee for each meeting attended, and each Fund also pays each member of its Committee, which consists of all the non-affiliated Board members, an annual fee plus a fee for each meeting attended, together with such non-affiliated Board member’s out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings. The Chairman of each Fund’s Committee receives an additional fee. Information with respect to fees and expenses paid to the non-affiliated Board members for each Fund’s most recently completed fiscal year is set forth in Exhibit B.

Officers of the Funds.    Information regarding the officers of each Fund is set forth in Exhibit C. Officers of the Funds are elected and appointed by the Board and hold office until they resign, are removed or are otherwise disqualified to serve.

Stock Ownership.    Set forth in Exhibit B to this Combined Proxy Statement is the following information for each Board member nominee: (i) the number of Shares and AMPS, if applicable, of each Fund owned; (ii) the aggregate dollar range such stock ownership represents; and (iii) the aggregate dollar range of

3

securities owned in all registered funds overseen by each Board member nominee in the Merrill Lynch family of funds. As of the Record Date, no non-affiliated Board Member nominee or his or her immediate family members, owned beneficially or of record any securities of ML & Co. As of the Record Date, the Board members and officers of each Fund as a group owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the Capital Stock of each Fund outstanding at such date. At such date, Mr. Glenn, President and a Board member of each Fund, and the other officers of each Fund owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of ML & Co.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Expenses and Methods of Proxy Solicitation

The expenses of preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed form of proxy and accompanying Notice and Proxy Statement will be borne by the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets. The Funds will reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the shares of the Funds.

In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting (i.e., a majority of the shares of each class of securities of each Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting, present in person or by proxy), supplementary solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph or personal interview by officers of the Fund. Each Fund has retained Georgeson Shareholder, 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004, to assist in the solicitation of proxies at a cost to each Fund of approximately $3,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses which are estimated to be $500 per fund.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have previously been revoked, will be voted at the Meetings in accordance with the directions on the proxies; if no direction is indicated, the shares will be voted “FOR” the Board member nominees.

With respect to Item 1. “Election of Board Members,” holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class, are entitled to elect two Board members and holders of Capital Stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remaining Board members. Assuming a quorum is present, (A) with respect to Maryland corporations, (i) election of the two Board members to be elected by the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class, will require a plurality of all votes cast by the holders of AMPS, represented at the Meeting and entitled to vote; and (ii) election of the remaining Board members will require a plurality of all votes cast by the holders of Capital Stock represented at the Meeting and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class; (B) with respect to Massachusetts business trusts, (i) election of the two Board members to be elected by the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class, will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the AMPS present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and (ii) election of the remaining Board members will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Capital Stock present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, voting together as a single class. A “plurality of the votes” means the candidate must receive more votes than any other candidate for the same position, but not necessarily a majority of votes cast.

Broker-dealer firms, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), holding shares of each Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Item before the Meeting. The Funds understand that, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, such broker-dealer firms may, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the election of Board members (Item 1) if no instructions have been received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions. The Funds will include shares held of record by broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in their tabulation of the total number of votes present for purposes of

4

determining whether the necessary quorum of Stockholders exists. Proxies that are returned to the Fund but that are marked “abstain” or on which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any proposal (“broker non-votes”) will be counted as present for purposes of a quorum. MLPF&S has advised the Fund that it intends to vote shares held in its name for which no instructions are received, except as limited by agreement or applicable law, in the same proportion as the votes received from beneficial owners of those shares for which instructions have been received, whether or not held in nominee name. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will not have an effect on the vote on Item 1 in the case of Maryland corporations; however, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against Item 1 in the case of Massachusetts business trusts.

Other Matters

Management knows of no other matters to be presented at the Meetings. However, if other matters are presented for a vote at the meeting or any adjournments thereof, the proxy holders will vote the Shares and AMPS represented by properly executed proxies according to their judgment on those matters.

Independent Auditors’ Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees paid to the independent auditors for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year for professional services rendered for: (i) the audit of the Funds’ annual financial statements included in the Funds’ report to stockholders; (ii) all other related services provided to the Fund; and (iii) all other non-audit services provided to the Fund, its investment adviser, and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide services to the Fund. For the most recent fiscal year, the independent auditors did not render any professional services for financial information systems design and implementation services to the Funds, FAM, and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with FAM that provide services to the Funds. The Committee of each Fund has determined that the provision of information technology services under clause (ii) and the provision of non-audit services under clause (iii) are compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditors.

Stockholder Proposals

If a Stockholder of a Fund intends to present a proposal at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of a Fund, which is anticipated to be held in April 2003, and desires to have the proposal included in the Fund’s

5

proxy statement and form of proxy for that meeting, the stockholder must deliver the proposal to the offices of the Fund by November 22, 2002. The persons named as proxies in the proxy materials for the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may exercise discretionary authority with respect to any stockholder proposal presented at such meeting if written notice of such proposal has not been received by the Fund by February 10, 2003. Written proposals and notices should be sent to the Secretary of the Fund (addressed to 800 Scudders Mill Road, Plainsboro, New Jersey 08543).

CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES

FOR EXCHANGE LISTED FUNDS

Although each investment company audit committee also serves as a nominating committee, the following charter pertains only to each audit and nominating committee’s duties as an audit committee. The Board of Directors/Trustees of each investment company listed on Appendix A hereto, has adopted the following audit committee charter:

I.    Composition of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee shall be composed of at least three Directors/Trustees:

(a) each of whom shall not be an “interested person” of the Fund, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(b) each of whom shall not have any relationship to the Fund that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from Fund management and the Fund;

(c) each of whom shall otherwise satisfy the applicable independence requirements for any stock exchange or market quotation system on which Fund shares are listed or quoted;

(d) each of whom shall be financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the Board of Directors/Trustees in its business judgment, or shall become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Audit Committee; and

(e) at least one of whom shall have accounting or related financial management expertise as the Board of Directors/Trustees interprets such qualification in its business judgment.

II.    Purposes of the Audit Committee

The purposes of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board of Directors/Trustees:

(a) in its oversight of the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, the Fund’s internal audit controls and procedures and, as appropriate, the internal audit controls and procedures of certain of the Fund’s service providers;

(b) in its oversight of the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; and

(c) in acting as a liaison between the Fund’s independent accountants and the Board of Directors/Trustees.

The function of the Audit Committee is oversight. Fund management is responsible for maintaining appropriate systems for accounting. The independent accountants of the Fund are responsible for conducting a proper audit of the Fund’s financial statements.

III.    Responsibilities and Duties of the Audit Committee

The policies and procedures of the Audit Committee shall remain flexible to facilitate its ability to react to changing conditions and to generally discharge its functions. The following listed responsibilities describe areas of attention in broad terms.

To carry out its purposes, the Audit Committee shall have the following responsibilities and duties:

(a) to recommend the selection, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent accountants based on an evaluation of their independence and the nature and performance of audit services and other services;

D-1

(b)  to ensure that the independent accountants for the Fund submit on a periodic basis to the Audit Committee a formal written statement delineating all relationships between such independent accountants and the Fund, consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and actively engage in a dialogue with the independent accountants for the Fund with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of such independent accountants and, if deemed appropriate by the Audit Committee, to recommend that the Board of Directors/Trustees take appropriate action in response to the report of such independent accountants to satisfy itself of the independence of such independent accountants;

(c)  to receive specific representations from the independent accountants with respect to their independence and to consider whether the provision of any disclosed non-audit services by the independent accountants is compatible with maintaining the independence of those accountants;

(d)  to review the fees charged by independent accountants for audit and other services;

(e)  to review with the independent accountants arrangements for annual audits and special audits and the scope thereof;

(f)  to discuss with the independent accountants those matters required by SAS No. 61 and SAS No. 90 relating to the Fund’s financial statements, including, without limitation, any adjustment to such financial statements recommended by such independent accountants, or any other results of any audit;

(g)  to consider with the independent accountants their comments with respect to the quality and adequacy of the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls and management’s responses thereto, including, without limitation, the effect on the Fund of any recommendation of changes in accounting principles or practices by management or the independent accountants;

(h)  to report to the Board of Directors/Trustees regularly with respect to the Audit Committee’s activities and to make any recommendations it believes necessary or appropriate with respect to the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and the Fund’s internal controls;

(i)  to review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter on an annual basis and recommend any changes to the Board of Directors/Trustees;

(j)  to review legal and regulatory matters presented by counsel and the independent accountants for the Fund that may have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements;

(k)  to cause to be prepared and to review and submit any report, including any recommendation of the Audit Committee, required to be included in the Fund’s annual proxy statement by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission;

(l)  to assist the Fund, if necessary, in preparing any written affirmation or written certification required to be filed with any stock exchange on which Fund shares are listed; and

(m)  to perform such other functions consistent with this Charter, the Fund’s By-laws and governing law, as the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors/Trustees deems necessary or appropriate.

In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund and are not, and do not represent themselves to be, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the field of accounting or auditing. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures, and each member of the Audit Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations inside and outside the Fund from which the Audit Committee receives information and (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Audit Committee by such persons or

D-2

organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which actual knowledge shall be promptly reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees).

The independent accountants for the Fund are ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors/Trustees and the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors/Trustees and the Audit Committee have the ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent accountants for the Fund (or to nominate the independent accountants to be proposed for shareholder approval in the proxy statement).

IV.    Meetings

The Audit Committee shall meet at least once annually with the independent accountants (outside the presence of Fund management) and at least once annually with the representatives of Fund management responsible for the financial and accounting operations of the Fund. The Audit Committee shall hold special meetings at such times as the Audit Committee believes appropriate. Members of the Audit Committee may participate in a meeting of the Audit Committee by means of conference call or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in such meeting can hear each other.

V.    Outside Resources and Assistance from Fund Management

The appropriate officers of the Fund shall provide or arrange to provide such information, data and services as the Audit Committee may request. The Audit Committee shall have the power and authority to take all action it believes necessary or appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to retain at the expense of the Fund their own counsel and other experts and consultants whose expertise would be considered helpful to the Audit Committee.
