Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions and high-net-worth investors, today announced that the Board of Trustees of 16 of its insured municipal closed-end funds has approved changes to each such fund’s investment policies. The Board of each fund took this action in response to the continuing challenges faced by municipal bond insurers. The changes to each fund’s investment policies are intended to increase the fund’s investment flexibility in pursuing its investment objective, while retaining the insured nature of its portfolio.

The changes will allow the funds to invest:

  • At least 80 percent of their net assets in municipal bonds insured by insurance providers with a claims-paying ability of at least investment grade at the time of investment; and
  • Up to 20 percent in uninsured municipal bonds that are either escrowed to maturity, rated investment grade or unrated but judged by the fund’s investment adviser to be investment grade quality.

These changes are effective immediately. The affected funds are:

               

Nuveen Insured Premium Income 2 Fund (NPX)
