Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER]
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The problems in the U.S. financial system and the slowdown in global economic
activity continue to create a very difficult environment for the U.S. economy.
The administration, the Federal Reserve System and Congress have initiated a
variety of programs directed at restoring liquidity to the financial markets,
providing financial support for critical financial institutions and stimulating
economic activity. There are encouraging signs that these initiatives are
beginning to have a constructive impact. It is not possible to predict whether
the actions taken to date will be sufficient to restore more normal conditions
in the financial markets or enable the economy to stabilize and set a course
toward recovery. However, the speed and scope of the government's actions are
very encouraging and more importantly, reflect a commitment to act decisively to
meet the economic challenges we face.
The performance information in the attached report reflects the impact of many
forces at work in the equity and fixed income markets. The comments by the
portfolio managers describe the strategies being used to pursue your Fund's
long-term investment goals. Parts of the financial markets continue to
experience serious dislocations and thorough research and strong investment
disciplines have never been more important in identifying risks and
opportunities. I hope you will read this information carefully.
Your Board is particularly sensitive to our shareholders' concerns in these
uncertain times. We believe that frequent and thorough communication is
essential in this regard and encourage you to visit the Nuveen website:
www.nuveen.com, for recent developments in all Nuveen funds. We also encourage
you to communicate with your financial consultant for answers to your questions
and to seek advice on your long-term investment strategy in the current market
environment.
Nuveen continues to work on resolving the issues related to the auction rate
preferred shares situation, but the unsettled conditions in the credit markets
have slowed progress. Nuveen is actively pursuing a number of solutions, all
with the goal of providing liquidity for preferred shareholders while preserving
the potential benefits of leverage for common shareholders. We appreciate the
patience you have shown as we work through the many issues involved.
On behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward
to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner
Robert P. Bremner

Portfolio Managers' Comments
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS MUNICIPAL CLOSED-END FUNDS NQM, NQS, NQU, NPF, NMZ, NMD
Portfolio managers Tom Spalding, Paul Brennan, John Miller and Johnathan Wilhelm
review key investment strategies and the six-month performance of these six
national Funds. A 33-year veteran of Nuveen, Tom has managed NQS and NQU since
2003. With 20 years of industry experience, including 12 years at Nuveen, Paul
assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPF in 2006. John, who has 15
years of municipal market experience, has managed NMZ since its inception in
2003. Johnathan, who came to Nuveen in 2001 with 19 years of industry
experience, joined John as co-portfolio manager for NMD in 2007, assuming full
portfolio management responsibility for this Fund as well as for NQM in March
2009.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE FUNDS DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD
ENDED APRIL 30, 2009?
During this time, the municipal market remained under pressure from price
volatility, reduced liquidity and fundamental economic concerns. After a very
difficult start to the period, market conditions began to show signs of
improvement in mid-December 2008 and municipal bonds were on an improving trend
during the first four months of 2009. In this environment, we continued to focus
on finding bonds that offered relative value, while seeking to manage liquidity
and invest for the long term.
Much of our investment activity during this period was driven by opportunities
created by market conditions. We sought to capitalize on this environment by
continuing to take a bottom-up approach to finding undervalued sectors and
individual credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. This
was true in both the new issuance and secondary markets. In the new issuance
market, we found bonds with better structures (such as higher coupons or longer
call protection) than we have seen in a long time as market conditions required
issuers to enhance offerings to make them more attractive to buyers. In the
secondary markets, we were able to purchase bonds, especially lower-rated
issues, at discounted prices as the result of forced selling by some municipal
market participants, particularly in November and December 2008. Although we
found some bonds at extremely discounted prices during this period, our emphasis
was always on carefully selecting what we believed to be the best bonds
available. In general, the bonds we purchased were ones where we were already
familiar with the credit being offered or where we were adding to positions or
sectors currently held in the portfolio.

Our purchases in NQM, NQS, NQU and NPF during this period generally focused on
bonds issued for essential services, including water and sewer, utilities, local
public schools and hospitals, as well as state and local general obligation and
other tax-backed bonds. In most cases, we sought bonds with longer maturities to
take advantage of the spreads offered by the extremely steep yield curve.
In NMZ and NMD, we focused on bonds that we believed had the potential to
appreciate over time, but that were currently unfavorable in the market due to
the overall economic environment and not because of any intrinsic problem with
the credits themselves. We were able to purchase these bonds at very attractive
prices in areas of the market such as community development districts (CDDs),
hospitals, hotel and convention centers and the tobacco sector. Later in the
period, NMD took advantage of opportunities to reduce its heavier exposure to
health care by selling selected hospital bonds and reinvesting the proceeds in
other sectors where we saw better potential, particularly special tax issues or
limited tax obligation bonds. Although land-secured offerings have been under
pressure due to the housing market slowdown, we used a fundamental approach to
find what we believed were the strongest credits-those with good underlying
asset values and cashflows--at very attractive prices.
Some of the cash for new purchases was generated by bond calls and redemptions.
In NQM, NPF, NMZ and NMD, we also monitored the types of credits and bond
structures that were attractive to the retail market and methodically took
advantage of strong bids to sell selected bonds into relatively consistent
retail demand. The bonds we sold tended to have shorter maturities, as these
generally offered more liquidity and were in greater demand by retail buyers.
NMZ and NMD also sold some economically sensitive issues, including airline
bonds.
We continued to use inverse floating rate securities(1) in all six Funds. We
employed inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration(2)
management, income enhancement, and as a form of leverage. NPF, NMZ and NMD also
invested in additional types of derivatives(3) intended to help manage duration
and common share net asset value (NAV) volatility without having a negative
impact on income streams or common share dividends over the short term. As of
April 30, 2009, the inverse floaters remained in place in all six Funds. We also
continued to use derivatives in NMZ and NMD, while we had removed the derivative
positions from NPF.
(1) An inverse floating rate security, also known as inverse floaters, is a
financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a
rate that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate
index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index typically used is the Securities
Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously
referred to as the Bond Market Association Index or BMA). Inverse
floaters, including those inverse floating rate securities in which the
Funds invested during the reporting period, are further defined within the
Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
sections of this report.
(2) Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
(3) Each Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as forwards, futures,
options and swap transactions. For additional information on the
derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the
end of the reporting period, see the Portfolio of Investments, Financial
Statements, and Notes to Financial Statements sections of this report.

For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the cumulative returns on common share
NAV for NQM, NQS and NPF exceeded the average return for the Lipper General
Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds Average, while NQU trailed slightly. NQM, NQS and
NPF also outperformed the returns on both the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond
Index and the Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index. For the
same period, NMD outperformed both the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds
Average, Barclays Capital High-Yield Municipal Bond Index and the Standard &
Poor's (S&P) National High Yield Municipal Bond Index.
* Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year, and
ten-year are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance
may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions
or upon the sale of Fund shares.
For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for
your Fund in this report.
(4) The Lipper General Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated
using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period
as follows: six-months, 54 funds; one-year, 54 funds; five-year, 52 funds;
and ten-year, 38 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of
dividends. The Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average is
calculated using the returns of all 15 closed-end funds in this category
for the six-months 15 funds; one-year, 15 funds; five-year, 14 funds;
ten-year, 11 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of
dividends.
(5) The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index comprising a broad range of
investment-grade municipal bonds. The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman
Brothers) High-Yield Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising municipal bonds rated below investment grade
(i.e., below Baa by Moody's Investors Service and below BBB by Standard &
Poor's or Fitch Ratings). Results for the Barclays Capital indexes do not
reflect any expenses.
(6) The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
performance of the U.S. municipal bond market. The S&P National High Yield
Municipal Bond Index contains all bonds in the S&P National Municipal Bond
Index that are non-rated or whose ratings are BB+ S&P and/or BA-1 Moody's
or lower. This index does not contain bonds that pre-refunded or are
escrowed to maturity.
(7) NMD is an unleveraged Fund; the remaining five Funds in this report are
leveraged.

Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this six-month
period included duration and yield curve positioning, the use of derivatives,
credit and sector allocations and individual security selection. In addition,
the use of leverage was an important factor affecting the Funds' performances
over this period. The impact of leverage is discussed in more detail on page 8.
Over this period, the municipal bond yield curve remained steep, with
longer-term yields significantly higher than shorter-terms yields. Bonds in the
Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index maturing in ten years or more, especially
bonds with maturities of approximately 15 years and 22 years and longer,
benefited the most from the overall market environment. While NQM and NPF had
relatively better overall duration and yield curve positioning than NQS and NQU,
all four Funds had significant exposure to the longer part of the yield curve,
which benefited their performances. In NMZ and NMD, the benefits of longer
durations were offset to a large extent by credit allocation and the use of
derivatives.
As mentioned earlier, NMZ and NMD, used derivative positions during this period
to synthetically reduce duration and move these Funds closer to target level.
The derivatives were intended in part to help position the Funds within a
targeted range on the yield curve without incurring additional trading activity,
or adversely affecting credit quality and yields. During the early part of this
period, in these derivative positions performed poorly, detracting from the
total return performances of NMZ and NMD for the entire period. In NPF, the
derivatives were removed shortly after the beginning of this reporting period
and so had no meaningful impact on this Fund's performance.
All of the Funds in this report also continued to use inverse floating rate
securities. During this period, these instruments generally had a positive
impact on the Funds' overall performances, while also helping to support their
income streams.
Credit quality exposure was also an important factor in the Funds' returns
during this period, although the impact of allocations to various credit quality
sectors was offset to varying degrees in NQM, NQS, NQU and NPF by other factors,
such as duration and yield curve positioning, sector allocation and security
selection. In general, risk-averse investors put a priority on higher quality
investments causing bonds with higher credit to perform very well. As a result,
bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally posted poorer returns.
With these market conditions, allocation to lower-rated credits was a
significant factor in the six-month performances of NMZ and NMD. Overall,
conditions in the high-yield market were poor during much of the period due to
the earlier flight to quality, lower demand for high-yield securities and wider
credit spreads. These factors were the main drivers behind the relatively weak
performances of these Funds' holdings of higher-yielding credits. As the market
environment started to improve over the last four months of the period, demand
for lower-rated bonds began to expand.
Nuveen Investments 7
Sectors of the municipal bond market that generally contributed positively to
the Funds' returns during this period included housing, water and sewer and
education. Overall, general obligation bonds tended to outperform the general
municipal market, while health care bonds, which had underperformed for some
time, reversed course and generally performed in line with the market over the
six months. In particular, the hospital bonds held by NQM and NPF performed
well, boosting the returns of these Funds.
Holdings that generally detracted from the Funds' performances included
industrial development revenue (IDR) and resource recovery bonds, zero coupon
bonds did poorly, and lower-rated bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco
settlement agreement, also lagged. Pre-refunded(8) bonds, which had been the
top-performing segment of the municipal market for some time, also
underperformed. Although backed by U.S. Treasuries, their shorter effective
maturities hurt their performances during this period. As of April 30, 2009, NQU
and NQS had significantly heavier weightings of pre-refunded bonds.
Individual security selection was also a factor in the Funds' returns. NQM, NQS,
NQU, NMZ and NMD all were negatively impacted by their holdings of Ambac-insured
bonds issued for the Las Vegas monorail project, which links various casinos on
the Las Vegas strip. The project has struggled to build ridership and turn a
profit, and proposals to extend the monorail to McCarran International Airport
remain on hold.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
In addition to the factors previously discussed, one of the primary reasons for
the strong six-month returns was the Funds' use of financial leverage. As
mentioned previously, NMD is an unleveraged Fund. This positive contribution to
performance stands in sharp contrast to the preceding six-month period, when
leverage had a generally detrimental impact on the Funds' returns. This can be
seen by comparing the six-month and one-year Fund returns shown on page 6.
Financial leverage offers opportunities to generate additional income and total
return for common shareholders under a variety of market conditions. However,
leverage may work to the common shareholders' disadvantage during periods when
bond prices are extraordinarily volatile or in sharp decline. During the six
months covered by this report, overall conditions within the municipal bond
market were relatively favorable, in contrast to the relatively unfavorable
market conditions during the fall of 2008.
(8) Pre-refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of these Funds was their
positions in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that experienced downgrades
in their credit ratings. At the time this report was prepared, there were no
bond insurers rated AAA by all three of the major rating agencies (Moody's
Investor Service, S&P and Fitch) and at least one rating agency has placed each
insurer on "negative credit watch," "credit watch evolving," "credit outlook
developing," or "rating withdrawn," which may presage one or more rating
reductions in the future. As concern increased about the balance sheets of
insurers, prices on insured bonds - especially those bonds issued by weaker
underlying credits - declined, detracting from the Funds' performances. By the
end of this reporting period, most insured bonds were being valued according to
their fundamentals as if they were uninsured. On the whole, the holdings of all
of our Funds continued to be well diversified, and it is important to note that
municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES MARKETS
As noted in the previous shareholder reports, beginning in February 2008, more
shares were submitted for sale in the regularly scheduled auctions for the
auction rate preferred shares issued by these Funds than there were offers to
buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many, or all, of
the Funds' auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares
in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction
rate preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and
auction rate preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions, as calculated
in accordance with the pre-established terms of the auction rate preferred
shares.
These developments generally have not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of these Funds. However, one continuing implication for
common shareholders of these auction failures is that the Funds' cost of
leverage will likely be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise would
have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds'
future common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise might have been.
As previously reported, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees authorized a plan
to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, to
refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding auction rate preferred shares. As
of April 30, 2009, the amount of auction rate preferred securities redeemed by
the Funds are as shown in the accompanying table. As noted previously, NMD is an
unleveraged Fund.

While the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees and management continue to work to

As of April 30, 2009, sixty-seven Nuveen closed-end municipal funds have
redeemed and/or noticed for redemption at par a portion of their outstanding
auction rate preferred shares. These redemptions bring the total amount of
Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds' auction rate preferred share redemptions to
approximately $2.1 billion of the original $11 billion outstanding.

Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, NQU and NPF each had one
monthly dividend increase, while the dividends of NQM, NQS, NMZ and NMD remained
stable throughout the period.
As a result of normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following
Funds received capital gains and/or net ordinary income distributions at the end
of December 2008 as follows:

|
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of April 30, 2009, all six of
the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based on our best estimate,
for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial statement purposes.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
The Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved an open-market share repurchase
program on July 10, 2007, for NPF and on July 30, 2008, for NQM, NQS, NQU, NMZ
and NMD under which each Fund may repurchase an aggregate of up to 10% of its
outstanding common shares. Since the inception of this program, NQM, NQS, NQU,
NMZ and NMD have not repurchased any of their outstanding common shares.

SHELF EQUITY PROGRAM
On April 1, 2009, a registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by NMZ became effective. This registration statement enables
the Fund to issue up to 1,900,000 additional shares of common stock through an
ongoing shelf offering. Under this equity shelf program, the Fund, subject to
market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in
varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund's NAV
per common share. During the period ended April 30, 2009, NMZ cumulatively
issued 58,508 shares at an average price of $9.98 and an average premium to NAV
of 13.60% per common share.
On May 29, 2009, NMD filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement seeking to register additional shares of common stock.
This registration statement, if declared effective by the SEC, would enable the
Fund to issue to the public additional common shares in an amount up to ten
percent of the Fund's currently issued and outstanding common shares through an
ongoing shelf offering. Under this equity shelf program, the Fund, subject to
market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in
varying amounts and offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund's NAV
per common share.
As of April 30, 2009, the Funds' common share prices were trading at premiums or

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.

at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")

underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.

Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.

demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate
disclosed is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate

index.

Investments is 27.6%.

at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")

Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.

index.

(6) Portion of investment has been pledged as collateral for Recourse Trusts.
(7) The Fund's Adviser has concluded this issue is not likely to meet its
future interest payment obligations and has directed the Fund's custodian

| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQM),
Nuveen Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQS), Nuveen Quality Income
Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQU), Nuveen Premier Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NPF),
Nuveen Municipal High Income Opportunity Fund (NMZ) and Nuveen Municipal High
Income Opportunity Fund 2 (NMD) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of
Investment Quality (NQM), Select Quality (NQS), Quality Income (NQU), Premier
Income (NPF) and High Income Opportunity 2 (NMD) are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange while Common shares of High Income Opportunity (NMZ) are traded
on the NYSE Amex (formerly, American Stock Exchange). The Funds are registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end, management
investment companies.
Prior to the commencement of operations, High Income Opportunity 2 (NMD) had no
operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial
capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), and the
recording of the organization expenses ($11,000) and their reimbursement by
Nuveen Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax
by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state
and local government authorities or certain U.S. territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Prices
of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Futures contracts are
valued using the closing settlement price, or, in the absence of such a price,
at the mean of the bid and asked prices. When market price quotes are not
readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the
pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular
investment or derivative instrument, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the
Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market
data including yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of
issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from
security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general
market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's
credit characteristics considered relevant. Temporary investments in securities
that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term
investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At April 30, 2009, there were
no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
88 Nuveen Investments
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented on the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees
incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees
and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in
an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or
legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain
such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net
realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are
subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the
Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those
that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last
four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore,
management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
High Income Opportunity 2 (NMD) did not issue Preferred shares during the six
months ended April 30, 2009. The Funds below have issued and outstanding
Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting
financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in more than one
Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every
seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent,
and is payable at the end of each rate period. As of April 30, 2009, the number
of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as
follows:

Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated
in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.

These developments have generally not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of the Funds. However, one implication of these auction
failures for Common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely
be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise would have been had the
auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future Common share
earnings may be lower then they otherwise would have been. As of April 30, 2009,
the aggregate amount of outstanding Preferred shares redeemed by each Fund is as
follows:

Organization and Offering Costs
Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to reimburse all organizational costs
(approximately $11,000) and pay all Common share offering costs (other than the
sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share of High Income Opportunity Fund 2
(NMD). High Income Opportunity Fund 2's (NMD) share of Common share offering
costs ($472,500) were recorded as reductions of the proceeds from the sale of
Common shares.
Common Shares Shelf Offering
On April 1, 2009, a registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by High Income Opportunity (NMZ) became effective. This
registration statement enables the Fund to issue up to 1,900,000 additional
shares of common stock through an ongoing shelf offering. Under this equity
shelf program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional
equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a
net price at or above the Fund's NAV per common share. During the period ended
April 30, 2009, High Income Opportunity (NMZ) cumulatively issued 58,508 shares
at an average price of $9.98 and an average premium to NAV of 13.60% per common
share.
Shelf Offering Costs
Costs incurred by High Income Opportunity (NMZ) in connection with the offering
of its additional Common shares are recorded as a deferred charge which are
amortized over the period such additional Common shares are sold not to exceed
the one-year life of the shelf offering period.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse
90 Nuveen Investments
floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to
cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at
par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust
to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an
externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as "(IF) - Inverse floating rate investment." An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (SFAS No.
140) "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities." In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited
into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as
"(UB) - Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust," with the Fund
accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as
"Floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In
addition, the Fund reflects in "Investment Income" the entire earnings of the
underlying bond and the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term
floating rate certificates is included as a component of "Interest expense" on
the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended April 30, 2009, each Fund invested in
externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund
agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the
difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the
trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as
"Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.
At April 30, 2009, each Fund's maximum exposure to externally-deposited Recourse
Trusts, is as follows:

Forward Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to
terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of
loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to
the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment
to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. Premier Income (NPF),
High Income Opportunity (NMZ) and High Income Opportunity 2 (NMD) invested in
forward interest rate swap transactions during the six months ended April 30,
2009.
Futures Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a
futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of
cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.
Nuveen Investments 91
| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the
contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value
of the contract when originally entered into. Cash held by the broker to cover
initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin when
applicable. High Income Opportunity (NMZ) and High Income Opportunity 2 (NMD)
invested in futures contracts during the six months ended April 30, 2009.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.
Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments
and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to
changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the
transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, each Fund may be
exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity
with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The
potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the
financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to
credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward,
option and swap transactions. The extent of each Fund's exposure to credit and
counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their
carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage credit risk by entering into agreements only with
counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their
obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the
counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge
collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf
of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized
gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an
unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the
Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the
unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are
monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either
up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/Trustees
are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of
their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the
Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other
parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this
would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
92 Nuveen Investments
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net
assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157) "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosure about fair value measurements. In determining the value of each
Fund's investments various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the
three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a
summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of April 30, 2009:

5. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
transactions subject to SFAS No.140, if any. To the extent that differences
arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the
annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences
do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not
impact the net asset values of the Funds.

6. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:
INVESTMENT QUALITY (NQM)
SELECT QUALITY (NQS)
QUALITY INCOME (NQU)
PREMIER INCOME (NPF)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (1) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .4500%
For the next $125 million .4375
For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750
================================================================================
HIGH INCOME OPPORTUNITY (NMZ)

For the next $250 million .5250
For the next $500 million .5125
For the next $1 billion .5000
For net assets over $2 billion .4750
================================================================================
|
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund net assets managed as stated in the following
table. As of April 30, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was .1998%.
Nuveen Investments 97
| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL NET ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989
$60 billion .1961

$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
|
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed net assets of all Nuveen
funds, with such daily managed net assets defined separately for each fund
in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to
investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level
fee components, daily managed net assets includes assets managed by the
Adviser that are attributable to each fund's use of financial leverage.
For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds' use of
preferred stock and borrowings and investments in the residual interest
certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender
option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by the TOB
trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of
floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit
the amount of such assets for determining managed net assets in certain
circumstances.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with
the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of
Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent
Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of
all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from
certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as
though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised
funds.
For the first eight years of High Income Opportunity's (NMZ) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and
expenses in the amounts, and for the time periods set forth below:

The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse High Income Opportunity (NMZ) for any
portion of its fees and expenses beyond November 30, 2011.
The Adviser has agreed to waive 100% of High Income Opportunity 2's (NMD)
management fee from November 15, 2007 (commencement of operations) through
February 29, 2008, 50% of the management fee for the period March 1, 2008
through May 31, 2008, and 25% of the management fee for the period June 1, 2008
through August 31, 2008. The Adviser has not agreed to waive any portion of High
Income Opportunity 2's (NMD) management fee beyond August 31, 2008.
During the six months ended April 30, 2009, Nuveen Investments, LLC received
commissions of $3,504 related to the sale of Common shares as a result of the
High Income Opportunity (NMZ) shelf offering.
7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161 (SFAS No. 161)
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended
to enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and
hedging activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund
uses derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge
items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge
items affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of April 30, 2009,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be
required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-4 (FSP No. 157-4)
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FSP No. 157-4,
"Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly." FSP No. 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value
in accordance with SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP
No. 157-4 also requires additional disaggregation of the current SFAS No. 157
required disclosures. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied
prospectively. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP
No. 157-4 and the impact it will have on the financial statement disclosures.
8. BORROWINGS
During January 2008, credit issues associated with sub-prime mortgages and
municipal bond insurers caused High Income Opportunity 2 (NMD) to postpone its
preferred shares offering, and subsequent failed auctions of the preferred
shares issued by other closed-end funds have postponed the issuance of the
Fund's preferred shares indefinitely. Management determined that leveraging the
Fund with debt as a replacement for preferred shares continued to benefit the
Funds' shareholders. During 2008 the Fund entered into a $50 million senior
committed secured 364-day revolving line of credit with the custodian bank.
Amounts drawn on the line are recognized as "Borrowings" on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the average daily balance outstanding
on borrowings and average interest rate was $39,613,260 and 1.03%, respectively.
Interest on the revolving line of credit was calculated at a rate per annum of
the Federal Funds Rate plus .75%. Interest expense incurred on such borrowings
is included as a component of "Interest expense" on the Statement of Operations.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Distributions to Common Shareholders
The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net
investment income which were paid on June 1, 2009, to shareholders of record on
May 15, 2009, as follows:
INVESTMENT SELECT QUALITY PREMIER HIGH INCOME HIGH INCOME

Auction Participation Fees
Effective May 1, 2009, auction participation fees for Nuveen Preferred shares
with respect to auctions that have failed have been reduced from 25 bps
(annualized) to 15 bps (annualized). All auction participants have signed new
agreements incorporating this change.
Shelf Offering
On May 29, 2009, High Income Opportunity Fund 2 (NMD) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) a registration statement seeking to register
additional shares of common stock. This registration statement, if declared
effective by the SEC, would enable the Fund to issue to the public additional
common shares in an amount up to ten percent of the Fund's currently issued and
outstanding common shares through an ongoing shelf offering. Under this equity
shelf program, the Fund, subject to market conditions, may raise additional
equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and offering methods at a
net price at or above the Fund's NAV per common share.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation.
Total returns are not annualized. Total Return Based on Common Share Net
Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value,
reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains
distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in
the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the
following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset
value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the
period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net
asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the
calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit, expense reimbursement and legal fee refund,
where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable
to Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from Fund borrowings and the application of SFAS
No. 140 to certain inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the
Fund as more fully described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate
Securities.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation.
Total returns are not annualized. Total Return Based on Common Share Net
Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value,
reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains
distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in
the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the
following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset
value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the
period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net
asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the
calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit, expense reimbursement and legal fee refund,
where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable
to Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from Fund borrowings and the application of SFAS
No. 140 to certain inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the
Fund as more fully described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate
Securities.

reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the

REINVEST AUTOMATICALLY EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed
the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer
shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued
108 Nuveen Investments
by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open
market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually
will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
o AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
o AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
invest- ment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time
period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year
to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change
in NAV or market price and reinvested divi- dends and capital gains
distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments
or the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short- term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportion- ately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
110 Nuveen Investments
o LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to
changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's
or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as
interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the
leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the dura- tion
of the Fund's portfolio of bonds.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund
NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
o TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
investment.
o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest
coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to
the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the
original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the
bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of
zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of
bonds that pay interest periodically.
