This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement

shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by
the shareholders.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:



  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   MATTER                                              COMMON SHARES   PREFERRED SHARES(1)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              
  1a(i).    Election of seven (7) Board Members by           X                 X
            all shareholders (except New York Value,
            Real Estate and Diversified Dividend)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  a(ii).    Election of two (2) Board Members by                               X
            Preferred Shares only (except New York
            Value, Real Estate and Diversified
            Dividend)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  b(i).     Election of six (6) Board Members for            X                 X
            Real Estate and Diversified Dividend by
            all shareholders
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  b(ii).    Election of two (2) Board Members for                              X
            Real Estate and Diversified Dividend by
            Preferred Shares only
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  c.        Election of four (4) Board Members for           X                N/A
            New York Value by all shareholders
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(1) FundPreferred shares for Real Estate, Diversified Dividend, Preferred
    Convertible, Preferred Convertible 2, Quality Preferred, Quality Preferred
    2, Quality Preferred 3 and Tax-Advantaged; and Municipal Auction Rate
    Cumulative Preferred Shares ("MuniPreferred") for each other Fund are
    referred to as "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 New York Value),
33 1/3% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in

                           2


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.

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 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 Preferred shareholders as a class who have
voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all
Preferred shareholders 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.

                           3


Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on
January 30, 2006 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of January
30, 2006, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

(1) The common shares of all of the Funds are listed on the New York Stock
    Exchange, except NXK, NKO, NRK and JRS, which are listed on the American
    Stock Exchange.

ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS

GENERAL

At each Fund's Annual Meeting, Board Members are to be elected to serve until
the next Annual Meeting or until their successors shall have been duly elected
and qualified. Under the terms of each Fund's organizational documents (except
New York Value), under normal circumstances, holders of Preferred Shares are
entitled to elect two (2) Board Members, and the remaining Board Members are to
be elected by holders of Common Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together as
a single class. Pursuant to the organizational documents of New York Value, the
Board is divided into three classes, with each class being elected to serve a
term of three years. For New York Value, four (4) Board Members are nominated to
be elected at this meeting to serve for multiple year terms.

A. FOR EACH FUND EXCEPT NEW YORK VALUE, REAL ESTATE AND DIVERSIFIED DIVIDEND:

     (i)  seven (7) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common Shares
          and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Board Members
          Bremner, Brown, Evans, Hunter, Kundert, Stockdale and Sunshine are
          nominees for election by all shareholders.

     (ii) holders of Preferred Shares, each series voting together as a single
          class, are entitled to elect two (2) of the Board Members. Board
          Members Schneider and Schwertfeger are nominees for election by
          holders of Preferred Shares.

B. FOR REAL ESTATE AND DIVERSIFIED DIVIDEND:

     (i)  six (6) Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common Shares
          and Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Board Members
          Bremner, Brown, Evans, Hunter, Stockdale and Sunshine are nominees for
          election by all shareholders.

                           5


     (ii) holders of Preferred Shares, each series voting together as a single
          class, are entitled to elect two (2) of the Board Members. Board
          Members Schneider and Schwertfeger are nominees for election by
          holders of Preferred Shares.

C. FOR NEW YORK VALUE: The Board of New York Value has designated Board Members
Bremner, Evans, Schneider and Stockdale as Class III Board Members, and as
nominees for Board Members for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
shareholders in 2009, and until their successors have been duly elected and
qualified. The remaining Board Members Brown, Schwertfeger, Hunter, Kundert and
Sunshine are current and continuing Board Members. The Board of New York Value
has designated Board Members Brown and Schwertfeger as continuing Class I Board
Members for terms expiring in 2007 and has designated Board Members Hunter,
Kundert and Sunshine as continuing Class II Board Members for terms expiring in
2008.

It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless
the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a
Board Member of each Fund if elected. However, should any nominee become unable
or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies will be voted for
substitute nominees, if any, designated by that Fund's present Board.

Except for New York Value, all Board Member nominees were last elected to each
Fund's Board at the annual meeting of shareholders held on March 22, 2005. Board
Members Bremner, Evans, Schneider and Stockdale were last elected as Class III
members of the Board of New York Value at the annual meeting of shareholders
held on December 17, 2003. Board Members Brown and Schwertfeger were last
elected as Class I Board Members and Board Members Hunter, Kundert and Sunshine
were last elected as Class II Board Members of the Board of New York Value at
the annual meeting of shareholders held on March 22, 2005.

Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, all Board Member nominees are not "interested
persons," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), of the Funds or Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser") and have
never been an employee or director of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), the
Adviser's parent company, or any affiliate. Accordingly, such Board Members are
deemed "Independent Board Members."

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE

COMPENSATION

Prior to January 1, 2006, for all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members
received an $85,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for
attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the
Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per day for

                           12


attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and $500 per
day for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not
required at a special, non-regularly scheduled board meeting; (c) a fee of
$1,000 per day for attendance in person at an audit committee or compliance,
risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person
attendance is required and $750 per day for audit committee attendance by
telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required and $500 per
day for compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee
attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required;
(d) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting
of the dividend committee; and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in
person at all other committee meetings (including ad hoc committee meetings and
shareholder meetings) on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is
held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance
by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not
required, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In
addition to the payments described above, the chairperson of each committee of
the Board (except the dividend committee and executive committee) received
$5,000 as an addition to the annual retainer paid to such individuals. When ad
hoc committees were organized, the Board may have provided for additional
compensation to be paid to the members of such committees. The annual retainer,
fees and expenses were allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser, on the
basis of relative net asset sizes although fund management could have, in its
discretion, established a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. The Board
Member affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser served without any compensation
from the Funds.

Effective January 1, 2006, for all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members
receive a $90,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,500 per day for
attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the
Board; (b) a fee of $2,000 per meeting for attendance in person where such
in-person attendance is required and $1,000 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 $1,500 per meeting for
attendance in person or by telephone at an audit committee meeting; (d) a fee of
$1,500 per meeting for attendance in person at a compliance, risk management and
regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person attendance is required
and $1,000 per meeting for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person
attendance is not required; (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
(including 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 Lead Independent Director receives $20,000, the
chairpersons of the audit 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 $2,000 per day for site visits on days on which no regularly
scheduled board meeting is held to entities that provide services to the Nuveen
funds. When ad hoc

                           13


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. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected
to defer at least a portion of his or her fees. The Funds that are Participating
Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan are New York Investment Quality, New
York Performance Plus, New York Quality, New York Select, Real Estate,
Diversified Dividend, Preferred Convertible, Preferred Convertible 2, Quality
Preferred, Quality Preferred 2, Quality Preferred 3 and Tax-Advantaged.

The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, the aggregate
compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board Member for its last fiscal year
and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for service on the boards of the Nuveen
open-end and closed-end funds managed by the Adviser for the calendar year ended
2005. Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of the Funds,
does not receive any compensation from the Funds or any Nuveen funds.

Nuveen maintains a charitable matching contributions program to encourage the
active support and involvement of individuals in the civic activities of their
community. The Independent Board Members of the funds managed by the Adviser are
eligible to participate in the charitable contributions program of Nuveen. Under
the matching contributions program, Nuveen will match the personal contributions
of a Board Member to Section 501(c)(3) organizations up to an aggregate maximum
amount of $10,000 during any calendar year.

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.

Robert P. Bremner, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, serve
as 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

committee) and (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. The
executive committee of each Fund held no meetings during its last fiscal year.

Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, 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 dividend committee of each Fund held five meetings during its
last fiscal year.

Lawrence H. Brown, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider,
Chair, and Judith M. Stockdale are current members of the compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund, except Mr. Kundert
is not a member with respect to Real Estate and Diversified Dividend. 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. As part of its duties regarding compliance matters, the
committee was responsible during 2004 for the oversight of the Pricing
Procedures of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The compliance, risk
management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund held four meetings
during its last fiscal year.

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 and American Stock Exchange, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner,
Lawerence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, Chair, William J. Schneider and Eugene S.
Sunshine 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
firms' qualifications, performance and independence. The audit committee reviews
the work and any recommendations of the Funds' independent registered public
accounting firms. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations
to the Board. Since 2005, the audit committee has been 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 and American Stock
Exchange. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy
statement as Appendix A. The audit committee of each Fund held four meetings
during its last fiscal year.

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 Exchange or American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable.
Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter,
David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale and Eugene S.
Sunshine are current members of the nominating and governance committee of each
Fund, except Mr. Kundert is not a member with respect to Real Estate and
Diversified Dividend. 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
                           17


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 http://www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The nominating and
governance committee of each Fund held four meetings during its last fiscal
year, except the nominating and governance committee of the New York Funds held
five meetings.

The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for
recommendations of qualified Board members, 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 nominees when the nominee 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 Independent Board Members of each Fund have appointed Robert P. Bremner as
their Lead Independent Director. The role of the Lead Independent Director is
one of coordination and assuring the appropriate, effective and efficient
functioning of the Board and the Board processes. Specific responsibilities may
include organizing and leading Independent Board

                           18


Member sessions, facilitating and ensuring an appropriate level of communication
among the Independent Board Members, leading the assessment of the Board's
effectiveness, and working with the Adviser's staff and outside counsel on board
meeting agendas, board material and workshops for trustees to ensure that the
priorities of the Independent Board Members are addressed.

The Board of each Fund held four regular quarterly meetings and four special
meetings during the last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, each Board
Member attended 75% or more of each Fund's Board meetings and the committee
meetings (if a member thereof) 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/etf/products/fundgovernance.aspx.

THE OFFICERS

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2005 with respect
to each officer of the Funds other than Mr. Schwertfeger (who is a Board Member
and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board). Officers
receive no compensation from the Funds. The officers are elected by the Board on
an annual basis to serve until successors are elected and qualified.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The audit committee of the 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, and (2) the quality and
integrity of the Funds' financial statements, and (3) the independent registered
public accounting firms 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 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 Board Members and operates under a

                           24


written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is attached
as Appendix A. Each committee member meets the independence and experience
requirements, as applicable, of the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock
Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 (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 Board include the audited
financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report.

The members of the committee are:

Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Jack B. Evans
William J. Schneider
Eugene S. Sunshine

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Generally, the audit
committee must approve each Fund's independent auditor'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 firms 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.

For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the
audit committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services
that Ernst & Young LLP 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 Ernst & Young LLP 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.

                               NUVEEN FUND BOARD

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

                                 1 January 2005

I.  ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP

There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of
the Nuveen Management Investment Companies (the "Funds" or, individually, a
"Fund") to be known as the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall be
comprised of at least three Directors/ Trustees. Audit Committee members shall
be independent of the Funds and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of
the Directors/Trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent
judgment as an Audit Committee member. In particular, each member must meet the
independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of the New York
Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Each such member of the
Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting, be
able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and be financially
literate, and at least one such member shall have accounting or related
financial management expertise, in each case as determined by the
Directors/Trustees, exercising their business judgment (this person may also
serve as the Audit Committee's "financial expert" as defined by the Commission).
The Board shall appoint the members and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, on
the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Audit
Committee shall meet periodically but in any event no less frequently than on a
semi-annual basis. Except for the Funds, Audit Committee members shall not serve
simultaneously on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.

II.  STATEMENT OF POLICY, PURPOSE AND PROCESSES

The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in oversight and monitoring of (1)
the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audits
of the financial statements, of the Funds; (2) the quality and integrity of the
financial statements of the Funds; (3) the Funds' compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements, (4) the independent auditors' qualifications,
performance and independence; and (5) oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the
Funds and the Valuation Group. In exercising this oversight, the Audit Committee
can request other committees of the Board to assume responsibility for some of
the monitoring as long as the other committees are composed exclusively of
independent directors.

In doing so, the Audit Committee shall seek to maintain free and open means of
communication among the Directors/Trustees, the independent auditors, the
internal auditors and the management of the Funds. The Audit Committee shall
meet periodically with Fund management, the Funds' internal auditor, and the
Funds' independent auditors, in separate executive sessions. The Audit Committee
shall prepare reports of the Audit Committee as

                           A-1


required by the Commission to be included in the Fund's annual proxy statements
or otherwise.

The Audit Committee shall have the authority and resources in its discretion to
retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Audit
Committee and to otherwise discharge its responsibilities, including appropriate
funding as determined by the Audit Committee for compensation to independent
auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or
performing other audit, review or attest services for a Fund, compensation to
advisers employed by the Audit Committee, and ordinary administrative expenses
of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its
duties, as determined in its discretion. The Audit Committee may request any
officer or employee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (or its affiliates)
(collectively, "Nuveen") or the Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel
to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or
consultants to, the Audit Committee. The Funds' independent auditors and
internal auditors shall have unrestricted accessibility at any time to Committee
members.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems
for accounting, reporting, disclosure and internal control.

The independent auditors have the primary responsibility to plan and implement
an audit, with proper consideration given to the accounting, reporting and
internal controls. Each independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing
or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services
for the Funds shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The independent
auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee. It is
the ultimate responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, appoint, retain,
evaluate, oversee and replace any independent auditors and to determine their
compensation, subject to ratification of the Board, if required. The Audit
Committee responsibilities may not be delegated to any other Committee or the
Board.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the following:

     With respect to Fund financial statements:

        1. Reviewing and discussing the annual audited financial statements and

           periodic reports under "Management's Discussion and Analysis."

        2. Requiring the independent auditors to deliver to the Chairman of the
           Audit Committee a timely report on any issues relating to the

           Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 90, Audit Committee

           Committees), that arise during the auditors' review of the Funds'
           financial statements, which information the Chairman shall further
           communicate to the other members of the Audit Committee, as deemed
           necessary or appropriate in the Chairman's judgment.

           of information to be disclosed and the types of presentations to be

           independent auditor setting forth significant financial reporting
           issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the

           alternative GAAP methods on the financial statements.

        5. Discussing with management and the independent auditors the effect of
           regulatory and accounting initiatives on the Funds' financial

           and disclosures, and the treatment preferred by the independent
           auditors; and (c) other material written communications between the
           independent auditors and management, such as any management letter or

           controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving
           management or other employees who have a significant role in the
           Funds' internal controls. In fulfilling its obligations under this
           paragraph, the Audit Committee may review in a general manner the
           processes other Board committees have in place with respect to
           deficiencies in internal controls, material weaknesses, or any fraud

           recommending to the Board approval of any proposed changes deemed
           necessary or advisable by the Audit Committee.

       10. Undertaking an annual review of the performance of the Audit
           Committee.

       11. Establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of
           complaints received by the Funds regarding accounting, internal
           accounting controls or auditing matters, and the confidential,
           anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting or
           auditing matters by employees of Fund management, the investment
           adviser, administrator, principal underwriter, or any other provider
           of accounting related services for the Funds, as well as employees of
           the Funds.

        Although the Audit Committee shall have the authority and
responsibilities set forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the
Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Funds'
financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. That is the responsibility of
management and the independent auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Audit
Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between
management and the independent auditors or to ensure compliance with laws and
regulations.
