Important Notice to Fund Shareholders
 
OCTOBER 19, 2009
 
Although we recommend that you read the complete Proxy Statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the issues to be voted on.
 
Q. Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
 
A. You are receiving this Proxy Statement as a Fund shareholder in connection with the annual shareholders meeting for the Nuveen closed-end funds listed at the top of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
 
You are being asked to vote on a number of important matters:
 
  (i)    Updated Investment Policies (all Affected Municipal Funds (as defined in the Proxy Statement)). Nuveen’s municipal closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies (the “New Investment Policies”). In general, these funds currently have a somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting when the funds were launched over the past 20 years as well as developments over time in the municipal market, including new types of securities as well as investment strategies.
 
  (ii)   Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Investment Policy (Insured Funds (as defined in the Proxy Statement)). Fund shareholders are being asked to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment policies and to approve a new fundamental policy or policies (also referred to as, the “New Investment Policy” or “New Investment Policies”). These changes are designed to give the Insured Funds important flexibility to respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market while maintaining their current focus on insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings. In addition, the Insured Funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies.
 
  (iii)  Approval of Fund Board Nominees (all Funds). Each year, you and other Fund shareholders must approve the election of Board members to serve on your Fund’s Board. This is a requirement for all funds that list their common shares on a stock exchange. The Funds described in this Proxy Statement are holding their annual shareholders meetings at which Board members will be elected. The list of specific nominees is contained in the enclosed Proxy Statement.
 
Your Fund’s Board of Trustees/Directors, including your Board’s independent members, unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each proposal.
 
Your vote is very important. We encourage you as a shareholder to participate in your Fund’s governance by returning your vote as soon as possible. If enough shareholders don’t cast their votes, your Fund may not be able to hold its meeting or the vote on each issue, and will be required to incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain sufficient shareholder participation.
 
Q. What are the potential benefits of the New Investment Policies for common shareholders of the Affected Municipal Funds?
 
A. The potential benefits to common shareholders are:
 
• Enhanced ability of the Affected Municipal Funds to generate attractive tax-free income while retaining their orientation on investment grade quality municipal securities;


 

• Increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build net asset value; and
 
• Improved secondary market competitiveness that may lead to a higher relative market price and/or stronger premium/discount performance.
 
Q. What are the potential benefits of the New Investment Policies for preferred shareholders of the Affected Municipal Funds?
 
A. The potential benefits to preferred shareholders are increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build net asset value and therefore asset coverage levels for preferred shares.
 
Q. What actions are required in order to implement the New Investment Policies?
 
A. In order to implement the New Investment Policies and obtain the potential benefits described above, each Affected Municipal Fund or Insured Fund must make certain changes to its existing policies, including certain fundamental policies that require approval of shareholders. In some cases, this may require shareholder approval of the elimination of an existing fundamental policy as well as the implementation of a new replacement fundamental policy. Because each Affected Municipal Fund or Insured Fund tends to be situated somewhat differently, the specific changes required to implement the New Investment Policies often vary from fund to fund.
 
Q. Why are shareholders of the Insured Funds being asked to approve the elimination of fundamental investment policies and to approve a New Investment Policy?
 
A. As a result of conditions facing the bond insurance market, shareholders are being asked to approve the elimination of certain fundamental investment policies that are restricting, or may be expected in the future to restrict, each Insured Fund’s ability to effectively maintain its existing focus on insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings. In connection with eliminating the respective fundamental investment policies, shareholders are being asked to approve a new fundamental investment policy that will provide the Insured Funds with flexibility to respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market, while ensuring that the Insured Funds continue to invest substantially all (at least 80%) of their investments in insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.
 
Q. What happens if shareholders don’t approve the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and/or don’t approve the New Investment Policy or Policies?
 
A. An Affected Municipal Fund or Insured Fund will not be able to implement the New Investment Policies as discussed above. The Affected Municipal Fund or Insured Fund would likely incur further expenses to solicit additional shareholder participation, and may experience potential disruptions to its investment operations. The Boards of the Affected Municipal Funds and Insured Funds urge you to vote without delay in order to avoid the potential for higher costs and/or disruptions to portfolio operations.


 

 
Q. Who do I call if I have questions?
 
A. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Computershare Fund Services, your Fund’s proxy solicitor, at [(866) 864-0471]. Please have your proxy material available when you call.
 
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 by going to the Internet address provided on the proxy card and following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide.
 
Q. Will anyone contact me?
 
A. You may receive a call from Computershare Fund Services, the proxy solicitor hired by your Fund, to verify that you received your proxy materials, to answer any questions you may have about the proposals and to encourage you to vote your proxy.
 
We recognize the inconvenience of the proxy solicitation process and would not impose on you if we did not believe that the matters being proposed were important and in the best interests of the Funds. Once your vote has been registered with the proxy solicitor, your name will be removed from the solicitor’s follow-up contact list.

(1)  Taxable Auctioned Preferred Shares for Senior Income; FundPreferred Shares for Floating Rate, Floating Rate Income Opportunity and Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate; Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares for Insured California Tax-Free Advantage; and Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares for each Municipal Fund, except California Value, are referred to as “Preferred Shares.” California Value has not issued 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 Board Member nominees to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (except California Value), 331/3% of the Preferred 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 each Fund, 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. For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each Fund, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the approval of the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental investment policies for the Affected Municipal Funds and Insured Funds, a change will only be consummated if approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund’s Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class, and by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class. For this purpose, a majority of the outstanding shares means, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Annual Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities, whichever is less. For purposes of determining the approval of the elimination of the fundamental investment policies and the approval of the new fundamental investment policies, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against the proposal.
 
Preferred Shares 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

7


 

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 the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares as a class who have voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all holders of Preferred Shares of the Fund who have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item and (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares 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.
 
Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on October 2, 2009 will be entitled to one vote for each share held and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional share held. As of October 2, 2009, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

The dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Board Member in each Fund and all Nuveen funds overseen by the Board Member as of December 31, 2008 is set forth in Appendix A. The number of shares of each Fund beneficially owned by each Board Member and by the Board Members and officers of the Funds as a group as of December 31, 2008 is set forth in Appendix A. [On December 31, 2008, Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned approximately 640,000 shares of all funds managed by NAM (including shares held by the Board Members through the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members and by executive officers in Nuveen’s 401 (k)/profit sharing plan).] [As of October 2, 2009, each Board Member’s individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constituted less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of October 2, 2009, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of October 2, 2009, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund, except as provided in Appendix B.]
 
Compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2008, for all funds in the Nuveen complex, Independent Board Members receive a $100,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $3,250 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $2,500 per meeting for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and $1,500 per meeting 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 $2,000 per meeting for attendance in person or $1,500 per meeting for by telephone at an audit committee meeting; (d) a fee of $2,000 per meeting for attendance at a regularly scheduled compliance, risk management and

18


 

regulatory oversight committee meeting for regular quarterly meetings and $1,000 per meeting for attendance of other, non-quarterly meetings; (e) a fee of $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (f) a fee of $500 per meeting for attendance in person at all other committee meetings, $1,000 for attendance at shareholder meetings, on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such committee meetings (excluding shareholder meetings) where in-person attendance is not required and $100 per meeting when the executive committee acts as pricing committee for IPOs, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the payments described above, the Independent Chairman receives $50,000 annually and the Lead Independent Director, if any, receives $35,000, the chairpersons of the audit committee, dividend committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee receive $7,500 and the chairperson of the nominating and governance committee receives $5,000 as additional retainers to the annual retainer paid to such individuals. Independent Board Members also receive a fee of $2,500 per day for site visits to entities that provide services to the Nuveen funds on days on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held. When ad hoc committees are organized, the nominating and governance committee will at the time of formation determine compensation to be paid to the members of such committee, however, in general such fees will be $1,000 per meeting for attendance in person at any ad hoc committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $500 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required. 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 Board Member affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser serves without any compensation from the Funds.
 
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 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.

Committees
 
The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the executive committee, the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, the dividend committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee.
 
John P. Amboian, Robert P. Bremner, Chair, and Judith M. Stockdale serve as current members of the executive committee 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, is 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 number of executive committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
 
Jack B. Evans, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Terence J. Toth are current members of the dividend committee of each Fund. The dividend committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Fund’s shares including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The number of dividend committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
 
William C. Hunter, William J. Schneider, Chair, Judith M. Stockdale and Carole E. Stone are current members of the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund. The compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management, and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds which are not otherwise the jurisdiction of the other Board committees. The number of compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
 
Each Fund’s Board has an audit committee, in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), that is composed of Independent Board Members who are also “independent” as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Amex, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, David J. Kundert, Chair, William J. Schneider and Terence J. Toth are current members of the audit committee of each Fund. The audit committee is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, procedures and practices and the audit of the financial statements of the Funds, (2) the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the Board. The audit committee is also responsible for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The Boards have adopted a written Audit Committee Charter that conforms to the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE Amex, as applicable. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached as Appendix D. The number of audit committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
 
Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee that is composed entirely of Independent Board Members who are also “independent” as defined by New York Stock


23


 

Exchange or NYSE Amex US listing standards, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale, Carole E. Stone and Terence J. Toth are current members of the nominating and governance committee of each Fund. The purpose of the nominating and governance committee is to seek, identify and recommend to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to each Fund’s Board. In addition, the committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board performance and processes, and assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Boards of each Fund, a copy of which is available on the Funds’ website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder/. The number of nominating and governance committee meetings of each Fund held during its last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C.
 
The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for recommendations of qualified candidates, including current Board Members, employees of the Adviser, current shareholders of the Funds, third party sources and any other persons or entities that may be deemed necessary or desirable by the committee. Shareholders of the Funds who wish to nominate a candidate to their Fund’s Board should mail information to the attention of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. This information must include evidence of Fund ownership of the person or entity recommending the candidate, a full listing of the proposed candidate’s education, experience, current employment, date of birth, names and addresses of at least three professional references, information as to whether the candidate is an “interested person” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) in relation to the Fund and such other information that would be helpful to the nominating and governance committee in evaluating the candidate. All satisfactorily completed information regarding candidates will be forwarded to the chairman of the nominating and governance committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members. Recommendations for candidates to the Board will be evaluated in light of whether the number of Board members is expected to change and whether the Board expects any vacancies. All nominations from Fund shareholders will be acknowledged, although there may be times when the committee is not actively recruiting new Board members. In those circumstances nominations will be kept on file until active recruitment is under way.
 
The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations to the Board. In considering a candidate’s qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability and, if qualifying as an Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the Adviser or other service providers. These experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills and experience, in the aggregate. All candidates must meet high expectations of personal integrity, governance experience and professional competence that are assessed on the basis of personal interviews, recommendations, or direct knowledge by committee members. The committee may use any process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating candidates, which process may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates and third party references. There is no difference in the manner in which the nominating and governance committee evaluates candidates when the candidate is submitted by a shareholder. The nominating and governance committee reserves the right to make the final selection regarding the nomination of any prospective Board member.

The number of regular quarterly meetings and special meetings held by the Board of each Fund during the Fund’s last fiscal year is shown in Appendix C. 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) held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board Members at annual meetings of the Funds and the number of Board Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds’ website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder/.

2.   Approval of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Policies for each Affected Municipal Fund
 
The Affected Municipal Funds have adopted certain fundamental investment policies relating to (i) investments in municipal securities and below investment grade securities, (ii) investments in

30


 

other investment companies and/or (iii) investments in derivatives, short sales and commodities as described below (together, the “Current Fundamental Policies,” and each, a “Current Fundamental Policy”), that can only be changed by shareholder vote. The Current Fundamental Policies adopted by the Affected Municipal Funds reflected industry and other market conditions present at the time of the inception of each Fund.
 
Nuveen’s municipal closed-end funds are seeking to adopt a uniform, “up to date” set of investment policies (the “New Investment Policies”). In general, the funds currently have a somewhat diverse set of policies, reflecting when the funds were launched over the past 20 years as well as developments over time in the municipal market, including new types of securities as well as investment strategies. The potential benefits of the New Investment Policies to you as a Fund shareholder are:
 
•  enhanced ability of the Affected Municipal Funds to generate attractive levels of tax-exempt income, while retaining the Affected Municipal Funds’ orientation on investment grade quality municipal securities;
 
•  increased flexibility in diversifying portfolio risks and managing duration (the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate changes) to pursue the preservation and possible growth of capital, which, if successful, will help to sustain and build common shareholder net asset value and asset coverage levels for preferred shares; and
 
•  improved secondary market competitiveness which may benefit common shareholders through higher relative market price and/or stronger premium/discount performance.
 
In order to implement the New Investment Policies, each Affected Municipal Fund must make certain changes to its existing policies, including certain fundamental policies that require your vote of approval. In some cases, this may require your separate votes to approve the elimination of a Current Fundamental Policy as well as the implementation of a new, replacement fundamental policy (together, the “New Fundamental Policies” and each, a “New Fundamental Policy”). Because each Affected Municipal Fund tends to be situated somewhat differently, the specific changes required to implement the New Investment Policies often vary from fund to fund.
 
The primary purposes of these changes are to provide the Affected Municipal Funds with increased investment flexibility and to create consistent investment policies for all Nuveen municipal bond funds to promote operational efficiencies. Implementation of the New Fundamental Policies is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies.
 
The Board has unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of each Affected Municipal Fund, the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies of the Affected Municipal Funds. In connection with eliminating the Current Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of each Affected Municipal Fund of, the New Fundamental Policies, described below. In addition, the Board has approved certain new non-fundamental policies, described below (the “New Non-Fundamental Policies”).


31


 

  (a)   Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Investments in Municipal Securities and Below Investment Grade Securities (All Affected Municipal Funds except Michigan Premium Income)
 
The Current Fundamental Policies with respect to each Affected Municipal Fund’s investments in municipal securities and the ability to invest in below investment grade securities that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Arizona Dividend Advantage, Arizona Dividend Advantage 2, Connecticut Dividend Advantage, Maryland Dividend Advantage, Maryland Dividend Advantage 2, Massachusetts Dividend Advantage, Michigan Dividend Advantage, New Jersey Dividend Advantage, North Carolina Dividend Advantage, North Carolina Dividend Advantage 2, Ohio Dividend Advantage, Ohio Dividend Advantage 2 and Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage
 
(i) Under normal [circumstances/market conditions], the Fund will invest its net assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular federal and [State] income taxes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt municipal bonds.
 
Arizona Dividend Advantage 3, Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2, Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3, Georgia Dividend Advantage 2, Maryland Dividend Advantage 3, New Jersey Dividend Advantage 2, Ohio Dividend Advantage 3 and Pennsylvania Dividend Advantage 2
 
(i) The Fund [as a fundamental policy] may not, under normal circumstances, invest less than 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments the income from which is exempt from both regular federal and [State] income tax.
 
Arizona Premium Income, California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income, Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri Premium Income, New Jersey Premium Income, Ohio Quality Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income, Texas Quality Income and Virginia Premium Income
 
(i) [Except to the extent the Fund invests in temporary investments as described below and more fully in the Statement of Additional Information], the Fund [will, as a fundamental policy,] invest substantially all (in excess of 80%) of its assets in tax-exempt [State] Municipal Obligations rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”), or in unrated [State] Municipal Obligations which, in the opinion of the Adviser, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and will be of comparable quality to, [State] Municipal Obligations rated within the four highest grades by Moody’s or S&P, provided that the Fund may not invest more than 20% of its assets in such unrated [State] Municipal Obligations.
 
(ii) The Fund will not invest in any rated [State] Municipal Obligations that are rated lower than Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P at the time of purchase.


32


 

 
California Dividend Advantage
 
(i) The Fund will invest its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular Federal and California income tax. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt municipal bonds.
 
(ii) The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade quality municipal bonds.
 
(iii) The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, Ba/BB or B by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Advisory.
 
California Dividend Advantage 2 and California Dividend Advantage 3
 
(i) The Fund will invest its net assets in a diversified portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular Federal and California income tax. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to be fully invested (at least 95% of its assets) in such tax-exempt municipal bonds.
 
California Investment Quality, California Market Opportunity, California Performance Plus, New Jersey Investment Quality and Pennsylvania Investment Quality
 
(i) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary investments as described in [the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information], the Fund will, as a fundamental policy, invest substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in tax-exempt [State] municipal bonds that are rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s, except that the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated [State] municipal bonds which, in Nuveen Advisory’s opinion, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and are of comparable quality to, municipal bonds so rated.
 
California Quality Income and California Select Quality
 
(i) Except to the extent that the Fund buys temporary investments as described in [the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information], the Fund will, as a fundamental policy, invest substantially all of its assets (more than 80%) in tax-exempt California municipal bonds that are rated at the time of purchase within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s, except that the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated California municipal bonds which, in Nuveen Advisory’s opinion, have credit characteristics equivalent to, and are of comparable quality to, California municipal bonds so rated.
 
  (b)   Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Investments in Municipal Securities (All Affected Municipal Funds except Michigan Premium Income)
 
The following New Fundamental Policy will replace each Affected Municipal Fund’s Current Fundamental Policy or Policies referenced in 2(a) above. Implementation of the following New Fundamental Policy by each Affected Municipal Fund is contingent on


33


 

shareholder approval of the elimination of each Affected Municipal Fund’s Current Fundamental Policy or Policies. The proposed New Fundamental Policy with respect to each Fund’s investments in municipal securities is as follows:
 
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) or any preferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”) in municipal securities and other related investments, the income from which is exempt from regular federal [and state] income taxes.
 
In addition, the Board has adopted New Non-Fundamental Policies with respect to investing in investment grade securities for each Affected Municipal Fund, which will be implemented upon the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies described in 2(a) above. The New Non-Fundamental Policies relating to investing in investment grade securities are as follows:
 
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser (“NAM”).
 
(ii) The Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that at the time of investment are rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by NAM.
 
(iii) No more than 10% of the Fund’s Managed Assets may be invested in municipal securities rated below B3/B- or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by NAM.
 
Related to these changes, the Board of each Affected Municipal Fund has also amended and standardized the description of “municipal securities” or “municipal obligations” in which an Affected Municipal Fund may invest to include various types of municipal securities. The new description, tailored as appropriate to each Affected Municipal Fund, generally provides:
 
The Fund may invest in various municipal securities, including municipal bonds and notes, other securities issued to finance and refinance public projects, and other related securities and derivative instruments creating exposure to municipal bonds, notes and securities that provide for the payment of interest income that is exempt from federal income tax (“Municipal Obligations”). Municipal Obligations are generally debt obligations issued by state and local governmental entities and may be issued by U.S. territories to finance or refinance public projects such as roads, schools, and water supply systems. Municipal Obligations may also be issued for private activities, such as housing, medical and educational facility construction, or for privately owned transportation, electric utility and pollution control projects. Municipal Obligations may be issued on a long term basis to provide permanent financing. The repayment of such debt may be secured generally by a pledge of the full faith and credit taxing power of the issuer, a limited or special tax, or any other revenue source including project revenues, which may include tolls, fees and other user charges, lease payments, and mortgage payments. Municipal Obligations may


34


 

also be issued to finance projects on a short term interim basis, anticipating repayment with the proceeds on long term debt. Municipal Obligations may be issued and purchased in the form of bonds, notes, leases or certificates of participation; structured as callable or noncallable; with payment forms including fixed coupon, variable rate, zero coupon, capital appreciation bonds, tender option bonds, and residual interest bonds or inverse floating rate securities; or acquired through investments in pooled vehicles, partnerships or other investment companies. Inverse floating rate securities are securities that pay interest at rates that vary inversely with changes in prevailing short-term tax-exempt interest rates and represent a leveraged investment in an underlying municipal security, which may increase the effective leverage of the Fund.
 
  (c)   Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Commodities (All Premium/Quality Funds)
 
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to commodities that are proposed to be eliminated are as follow:
 
Arizona Premium Income, California Investment Quality, California Market Opportunity, California Performance Plus, California Quality Income, California Select Quality, Michigan Premium Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Premium Income, Pennsylvania Investment Quality and Texas Quality Income
 
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts within the limits described under “Certain Trading Strategies of the Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income, Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri Premium Income, Ohio Quality Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 and Virginia Premium Income
 
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
  (d)   Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Commodities (All Premium/Quality Funds)
 
It is proposed that each Premium/Quality Fund adopt a New Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities. The adoption of the following New Fundamental Policy for each Premium/Quality Fund is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


35


 

Premium/Quality Fund’s Current Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities, as reflected in 2(c) above. The proposed New Fundamental Policy is as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts or derivative instruments or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).
 
  (e)   Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Derivatives and Short Sales (All Premium/Quality Funds)
 
The Current Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Arizona Premium Income, California Investment Quality, California Market Opportunity, California Performance Plus, California Quality Income, California Select Quality, Michigan Premium Income, New Jersey Investment Quality, New Jersey Premium Income, Pennsylvania Investment Quality and Texas Quality Income
 
(i) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described [in/under] “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”
 
(ii) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options except within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
California Premium Income, Connecticut Premium Income, Georgia Premium Income, Massachusetts Premium Income, Missouri Premium Income, Ohio Quality Income, Pennsylvania Premium Income 2 and Virginia Premium Income
 
(i) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(ii) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options except for futures and options that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


36


 

otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”
 
In connection with the elimination of the Current Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales, as reflected in 2(e) above, the Board has adopted the following New Non-Fundamental Policies for each of the above Premium/Quality Funds. The New Non-Fundamental Policies are contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Premium/Quality Fund’s Current Fundamental Policies with respect to derivatives and short sales. The New Non-Fundamental Polices are as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may invest in derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include financial futures contracts, swap contracts (including interest rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments. NAM uses derivatives to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset.
 
(ii) The Fund may not sell securities short, unless the Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold at no added cost, and provided that transactions in options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, or other derivative instruments are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.
 
(iii) The Fund may not enter into futures contracts or related options or forward contracts, if more than 30% of the Fund’s net assets would be represented by futures contracts or more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets would be committed to initial margin deposits and premiums on futures contracts and related options.
 
  (f)   Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investment in Other Investment Companies (All Premium/Quality Funds)
 
The Premium/Quality Funds do not have specific restrictions as to investments in other investment companies. However, each such Premium/Quality Fund has an investment policy which only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments and thereby prohibits investment in other investment companies. The general restriction that only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments is as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may not invest in securities other than [state] Municipal Obligations and temporary investments[,] as described [in/under] “Investment Objective and Policies [of the Funds] — Portfolio Investments.”*
 
In addition, with respect to each Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies, the Board has adopted a New Non-Fundamental Policy to be implemented upon the elimination of that Premium/Quality Fund’s Current Fundamental Policy prohibiting

investments in other investment companies. The proposed New Non-Fundamental Policy relating to investments in other investment companies is as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (often referred to as “ETFs”)) that invest primarily in municipal securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.
 
Board Recommendation
 
The Board believes that eliminating the Current Fundamental Policies and adopting the New Investment Policies gives the Adviser flexibility to rapidly respond to continuing developments in the municipal market and would enhance the portfolio managers’ ability to meet each Affected Municipal Fund’s investment objective. In addition, the Board believes that the proposed changes will create consistent investment policies for all Nuveen municipal bond funds and will help to promote operational efficiencies.
 
The Board recommends that shareholders of each Affected Municipal Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Current Fundamental Policy and vote to approve each New Fundamental Policy.
 
3.   Approval of the Elimination of Fundamental Investment Policies and Approval of New Fundamental Policy for Each Insured Fund
 
The Insured Funds have adopted certain fundamental investment policies, as described below (together, “Insured Fundamental Policies,” each an “Insured Fundamental Policy”), that can only be changed by shareholder vote. The Insured Fundamental Policies adopted by the Insured Funds reflected industry conditions present in the municipal bond market at the time of the inception of these Funds.
 
Since that time, however, deterioration in the credit quality of securities backed by sub-prime residential mortgages has disrupted many markets and companies, including bond insurers, who in addition to insuring municipal bonds, have also provided guarantees on these mortgage-related securities. As a result, the financial strength ratings of certain municipal bond insurers have come under greater scrutiny. The ratings assigned to some municipal bond insurers either have been downgraded or are being reviewed for possible downgrades by certain of the primary ratings agencies.
 
As a result of these conditions facing the bond insurance market, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by each Insured Fund’s shareholders of the elimination of certain Insured Fundamental Policies of the Insured Funds that are restricting, or may be expected in the future to restrict, each Insured Fund’s ability to effectively make investments. In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends the approval by shareholders of a new fundamental policy, described below (each a “New Insured Fundamental Policy”). The elimination of each Fundamental Policy described below is contingent on shareholder approval of the New Fundamental Policy. In addition, the Board has approved new non-fundamental policies, described below (the “New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies” and together with the New Insured Fundamental Policy, the “New Insured Policies”). The New Insured Policies are


38


 

designed to provide portfolio managers with important flexibility to respond to on-going developments in the bond insurance market, while ensuring the Insured Funds continue to invest substantially all (at least 80%) of their municipal investments in insured bonds backed by insurers with solid credit ratings.
 
  (a)   Elimination of Insured Fundamental Policies Relating to Investments in Insured Municipal Securities (All Insured Funds)
 
The Insured Fundamental Policies of each Insured Fund that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Insured California Dividend Advantage
 
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are exempt from regular federal and California income taxes and that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.
 
Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2
 
(i) Except to the extent the Fund invests in temporary investments, the Fund will invest all of its assets in tax-exempt [State] Municipal Obligations which are either covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon or backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest.
 
(ii) Each insured [State] Municipal Obligation held by the Fund will either be (1) covered by an insurance policy applicable to a specific security, whether obtained by the issuer of the security or a third party at the time of original issuance (“Original Issue Insurance”) by the Fund or a third party subsequent to the time of original issuance (“Secondary Market Insurance”), or (2) covered by a master municipal insurance policy purchased by the Fund (“Portfolio Insurance”).
 
(iii) The Fund will only obtain policies of portfolio insurance issued by insurers whose claims-paying ability is rated “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“Standard & Poor’s”).
 
(iv) Municipal obligations backed by an escrow account or trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s assets.
 
Insured California Tax-Free Advantage and Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage
 
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”) in a portfolio of municipal bonds that pay interest that is exempt from regular federal and [State] income tax and from the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals.


39


 

(ii) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its average daily net assets, including assets attributable to MuniPreferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”) in a portfolio of municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.
 
  (b)   Approval of the New Insured Fundamental Policy Relating to Investments in Insured Municipal Securities (All Insured Funds)
 
In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board of each Insured Fund has unanimously approved, and recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund approve, a New Insured Fundamental Policy relating to each Insured Fund’s policy of investing 80% (or greater) of its assets in a portfolio of municipal securities or related investments that pay tax-exempt interest. The New Insured Fundamental Policy will replace each Insured Fund’s Insured Fundamental Policy or Insured Fundamental Policies, as described above. Implementation of the New Insured Fundamental Policy is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the Insured Fundamental Policy or Insured Fundamental Policies for each Insured Fund, as applicable. The New Insured Fundamental Policy is as follows:
 
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) or preferred shares outstanding (“Managed Assets”), in municipal securities and other related investments that pay interest exempt from federal and [State] income taxes (“municipal securities”) and are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon.
 
New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies
 
In connection with eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies, the Board of each Insured Fund has also adopted New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies, as described below. To the extent that the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies conflict with the existing Insured Fundamental Policies, implementation of the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of the Insured Fundamental Policies. To the extent such Insured Non-Fundamental Policies do not conflict with the existing Insured Fundamental Policies, the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies have already been implemented. By eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies and adopting the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies, each Insured Fund would be able to change these policies in the future with the approval of the Board, without the need to obtain prior shareholder approval. However, each Insured Fund’s New Insured Non-Fundamental Policy that it will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in a portfolio of securities that are covered by insurance may only be changed by such Fund’s Board following the provision of 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.
 
The New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies that the Board of each Insured Fund has adopted are as follows:
 
(i) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including assets attributable to any principal amount of any borrowings (including the issuance of commercial paper or notes) or preferred shares outstanding


40


 

(“Managed Assets”), in a portfolio of securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon. Inverse floaters whose underlying bonds are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest thereon are included in the above-referenced 80% test. In addition, for the 80% test above, insurers must have a claims-paying ability rated at least A by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) at the time of purchase or at the time the bond is insured while in the portfolio.†
 
(ii) Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities covered by insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated AA or better by an NRSRO at the time of purchase; municipal securities rated AA or better by an NRSRO, or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser, at the time of purchase; or municipal bonds backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest.
 
(iii) Under normal circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities covered by insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated BBB or better by an NRSRO; or municipal securities rated at least BBB or better by an NRSRO, or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment adviser, at the time of purchase.
 
  (c)   Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Commodities (Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2)
 
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to commodities that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income
 
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of the Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
Insured California Premium Income 2
 
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except for transactions involving futures contracts that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
 
† The above referenced 80% test refers to the New Insured Fundamental Policy proposed in item 3(b).
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


41


 

  (d)   Approval of New Fundamental Policy Relating to Commodities (Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2)
 
It is proposed that Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2 adopt a New Insured Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities, the adoption of which is contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Insured Fund’s Current Insured Fundamental Policy with respect to commodities, as reflected in 3(c) above. The proposed New Insured Fundamental Policy is as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2
 
(i) The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the
 
Fund from purchasing or selling options, futures contracts or derivative instruments or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).
 
(e)  Elimination of Fundamental Policies Relating to Derivatives and Short Sales (Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2)
 
The Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales that are proposed to be eliminated are as follows:
 
Insured California Premium Income
 
(i) The Fund, as a fundamental policy, may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(ii) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options except within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
Insured California Premium Income 2
 
(i) The Fund may not make short sales of securities or purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or write or purchase put or call options, except to the extent that the purchase of a stand-by commitment may be considered the purchase of a put, and except for transactions involving options within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
(ii) The Fund may not purchase financial futures and options that represent no more than 10% of the Fund’s total assets and are otherwise within the limits described in “Certain Trading Strategies of The Fund — Financial Futures and Options Transactions.”*
 
 
* References are to a Fund’s registration statement.


42


 

In connection with the elimination of the Current Insured Fundamental Policies relating to derivatives and short sales, as reflected in 3(e) above, the Board has adopted the following New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies for each of Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2. The New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies are contingent on shareholder approval of the elimination of that Insured Fund’s Current Fundamental Policies with respect to derivatives and short sales. The New Insured Non-Fundamental Polices are as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may invest in derivative instruments in pursuit of its investment objectives. Such instruments include financial futures contracts, swap contracts (including interest rate and credit default swaps), options on financial futures, options on swap contracts, or other derivative instruments. NAM uses derivatives to seek to enhance return, to hedge some of the risks of its investments in fixed income securities or as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset.
 
(ii) The Fund may not sell securities short, unless the Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold at no added cost, and provided that transactions in options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, or other derivative instruments are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.
 
(iii) The Fund may not enter into futures contracts or related options or forward contracts, if more than 30% of the Fund’s net assets would be represented by futures contracts or more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets would be committed to initial margin deposits and premiums on futures contracts and related options.
 
  (f)   Elimination of the Fundamental Policy Prohibiting Investment in Other Investment Companies (Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2)
 
Insured California Premium Income and Insured California Premium Income 2 do not have specific restrictions as to investments in other investment companies. However, each such Fund has an investment policy which only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments and thereby prohibits investment in other investment companies. The general restriction that only permits investment in municipal obligations and temporary investments is as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may not invest in securities other than [state] Municipal Obligations and temporary investments, as described in “Investment Objective and Policies — Portfolio Investments.”*
 
In addition, with respect to each Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies, the Board has adopted a New Insured Non-Fundamental Policy to be implemented upon the elimination of Insured California Premium Income’s and Insured California Premium Income 2’s Current Insured Fundamental Policy prohibiting investments in other

43


 

investment companies. The proposed New Insured Non-Fundamental Policy relating to investments in other investment companies is as follows:
 
(i) The Fund may invest up to 10% of its Managed Assets in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (often referred to as “ETFs”)) that invest primarily in municipal securities of the types in which the Fund may invest directly.
 
Board Recommendation
 
The Board believes that eliminating the Insured Fundamental Policies and adopting the New Insured Policies gives the Adviser flexibility to rapidly respond to continuing developments in the bond insurance market and would enhance the portfolio managers’ ability to meet each Insured Fund’s investment objective and keep each Fund fully invested. While the Board believes that the New Insured Policies give the Adviser adequate flexibility under current market conditions, if the market changes in the future, the Insured Funds may desire to refine these parameters further and the Board may change the New Insured Non-Fundamental Policies without shareholder approval.
 
The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders of each Insured Fund vote to approve the elimination of each Insured Fundamental Policy and vote to approve each New Insured Fundamental Policy.
 
Audit Committee Report
 
The audit committee of each Board is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audit of the financial statements, of each Fund, (2) the quality and integrity of the Funds’ financial statements and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the committee reviews each Fund’s annual financial statements with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm and the committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditors to consider their evaluation of each Fund’s financial and internal controls. The committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee is currently composed of five Independent Board Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by each Board. Each committee member meets the independence and experience requirements, as applicable, of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex, Section 10A of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 
The committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has represented to the independent registered public accounting firm that each Fund’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards (“SAS”) No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by SAS No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications). Each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm provided to the committee the written disclosure required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1


44


 

(Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm 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 registered public accounting firm, the representations of management and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the committee, the committee has recommended that the Boards include the audited financial statements in each Fund’s Annual Report.
 
The current members of the committee are:
 
Robert P. Bremner
Jack B. Evans
David J. Kundert
William J. Schneider
Terence J. Toth

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.  Generally, the audit committee must approve each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm’s engagements (i) with the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Adviser and Adviser Entities for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund and the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund), such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the audit committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the audit committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the audit committee at the next audit committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000.
 
The audit committee has approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that the independent registered public accounting firm provided to each Fund and to the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund). None of the services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm to each Fund or the Adviser or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.

These persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that any other items of business will be presented at the Annual Meetings.

54


 

reasonable and in the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund’s By-Laws, an adjournment of a meeting with respect to a matter requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.
