Letter to Shareholders
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 governments 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 Funds 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 Funds
Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the
months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Nuveen Fund Board

Portfolio Managers
Comments
Nuveen Diversified
Dividend and Income Fund (JDD)
JDD features portfolio management by teams at four separate
sub-advisers.
NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC, (NWQ), an affiliate
of Nuveen Investments, invests its portion of the Funds
assets in dividend-paying common stocks. Jon Bosse, Chief
Investment Officer of NWQ, leads the Funds management team
at that firm. He has more than 27 years of corporate
finance and investment management experience.
The real estate portion of the Funds investment
portfolio is managed by a team at Security Capital
Research & Management Incorporated, (Security
Capital), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. Anthony R. Manno Jr., Kenneth D. Statz and
Kevin Bedell, who each have more than 27 years
experience in managing real estate investments, lead the team.
Symphony Asset Management, LLC, (Symphony), an affiliate of
Nuveen Investments, invests its portion of the Funds
assets primarily in senior loans. The Symphony team is led by
Gunther Stein, the firms Chief Investment Officer. Gunther
has more than 20 years of investment management
experience.
Wellington Management Company, LLP, (Wellington), invests its
portion of the Funds assets in emerging markets sovereign
debt. James W. Valone, who has more than 18 years of
investment management experience, heads the team.
Here representatives from NWQ, Symphony, Security Capital,
and Wellington talk about their management strategies and the
performance of the Fund for the six-month period ending
June 30, 2009.
What key
strategies were used to manage the Fund over this reporting
period?
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking
statements. Discussions of specific investments are for
illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of
individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other
views expressed herein are those of the portfolio managers as of
the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences
may differ significantly from those anticipated in any
forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are
subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other
factors. The Fund disclaims any obligation to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed
herein.
For the equity portion of the Funds portfolio, we
continued to employ an opportunistic,
bottom-up
strategy that focused on identifying undervalued companies
possessing favorable risk/reward characteristics as well as
emerging catalysts that can unlock value or improve
profitability. These catalysts included management changes,
restructuring efforts, recognition of hidden assets, or a
positive change in the underlying fundamentals. We also focused
on downside protection, and paid a great deal of attention to a
companys balance sheet and cash flow statement, not just
the income statement. We believed that cash flow analysis
offered a more objective and truer picture of a companys
financial position than an evaluation based on earnings alone.
In managing the real estate portion of the portfolio, we sought
to maintain significant property type and geographic
diversification while taking into account company credit
quality, sector, and security-type allocations. Investment
decisions are based on a multi-layered analysis of the company,
the real estate it owns, its management, and the relative
price of the security, with a focus on securities that we
believe will be best positioned to generate sustainable income
and potential price appreciation over the long-run. Across all
real estate sectors, we favored companies with properties
located in the strongest urban locations. These high
barrier to entry markets often have constraints that limit
new construction, a quality that we believe over the long-term
has the potential to provide superior value enhancement and a
real inflation hedge. The severe deterioration in credit markets
in 2008 and early 2009 required an equally strong re-appraisal
of the financial flexibility of each company in which we invest.
As the credit environment changed we adjusted the portfolio away
from companies that we believed were not as well positioned in
the current tough environment.
In the senior loan portion of the Fund, we continued to find
value in the senior parts of many firms capital
structures, as well as within the convertible securities market.
In a number of cases, we believed that both senior loans and
convertibles remained significantly undervalued on an implied
basis, even after the recent rally. The first half of this year
was characterized by a broad-based technical move in many areas
of the market. Over the first two quarters alone, over
$30 billion of new-issue high yield bonds have been used to
pay down shorter-dated term loans. This is a positive in most
cases for the secured lender, as many of these issuers suffer
more from bad balance sheets than bad business models. From a
technical perspective, we preferred to own senior loans and
convertibles rather than other forms of debt. Senior loans
generally carry floating rates, and they historically have
outperformed fixed-rate bonds in a rising interest rate
environment. We also felt that there was potential to see
continued crossover demand in the convertible bond market from
equity accounts buying convertible bonds because of better
perceived values.
In the emerging markets debt portion of the Funds
portfolio, we focused on differentiating between countries and
paid close attention to the underlying credit fundamentals in
order to find the best opportunities in this market. Improving
trends across the globe did not benefit all countries equally.
There continued to be large differences between countries within
emerging markets, and we believe the market will continue to
differentiate between countries based on their monetary policy
framework,
balance-of-payments
and economic vulnerabilities, and political risks.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the total
return on common share net asset value for the Fund
significantly outperformed the comparative benchmark and general
market index. The Funds leveraged capital structure in the
generally favorable
market conditions found during the second quarter of 2009 served
as a primary driver for the Funds performance in the first
half of 2009. By contrast, leverage had a generally detrimental
effect on the Funds return during the negative market
environment in the second half of 2008, as can be seen in the
one-year returns shown here. (Please see p. 7 for more
information on the Funds capital structure and financial
leverage).
In the equity portion of the Funds portfolio managed by
NWQ, JPMorgan Chase & Co. appreciated as the company
seemed to have successfully solidified its position as one of
the survivors of the on-going global banking crisis.
The strength of JPMorgan was also seen in its record
fixed-income trading revenue for the first quarter as the
company reaped the benefits of abnormal bid/ask spreads on bond
trading because it was one of a few banks (including Goldman
Sachs) that could provide liquidity in the market.
Our investment in Microsoft Corp. benefited from positive
investor reaction to the companys successful cost cuts and
the upcoming corporate product upgrade cycle that should help
drive revenue growth. The company also received several upgrades
from sell-side analysts which has helped support the stock
price. Packaging Corp. of America also outperformed for the
period as the company continued to show improving fundamentals,
report earnings above expectations, and remains well positioned
for a cyclical recovery in the economy.
While our investment in Hartford Financial Services Group Inc.
declined for the period, the shares were very volatile. After
hitting a 52-week low in early March, the shares appreciated by
nearly 350% by early May ($4 to $18) as the financial sector
rallied on increased investor confidence in the sector. Shares
of Hartford specifically benefited from news that the company
would receive Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds, as
well as speculation that it is close to a deal to sell its
property and casualty business. While portfolio holdings MetLife
Inc. and Travelers Companies Inc. did not need TARP assistance,
their shares also declined for the period as rising realized and
unrealized losses and declining equity markets put a strain on
regulatory capital for companies with exposure to
equity-sensitive insurance products such as variable life and
variable annuities.
Shares of Wells Fargo Inc. also bottomed with the rest of the
market in early March (hitting a 52-week low of $8) before
rebounding 200% by the end of the period. Although considered
one of the better positioned U.S. banks capable of surviving the
current economic environment, the company remains exposed to
ongoing credit deterioration and a potential for futures losses
from increasing credit costs.
The decline in Raytheon Co. during the period had less to do
with the companys fundamentals and more to do with
investor speculation on reduced defense spending by the Obama
Administration. Although we believe that the Obama defense plan
will most likely slow the top-line growth of defense companies,
we think current valuations discount a far more negative outcome
than what will most likely occur.
We were able to add a few new positions to the Fund over the
reporting period. We initiated a position in insurance holding
company, Reinsurance Group of America Inc. (RGA), in February
after shares of the company declined in line with the rest of
the insurance sector on investors concerns that insurance
companies were at risk to suffer losses similar to those
experienced by banks. RGA is primarily engaged in traditional
individual life, critical illness, and financial reinsurance.
We also invested in Loews Corp. as our calculation of the
stocks discount to the sum of its parts exceeded 30%, more
than double its historical average. We invested in TransAtlantic
Holdings Inc. (TRH), a leading global reinsurer that is well
diversified both in terms of products and geography with a focus
on the casualty insurance markets. We eliminated our position in
TRH shortly after its purchase to take advantage of an immediate
profit. We also purchased a U.S. Steel convertible bond on a
public offering as the company was raising additional capital,
and then sold that position to realize the gain.
The Funds exposure to real estate investment trusts
(REITs) with significant office and multi-family properties
located in the New York City real estate markets experienced
relatively poor performance over the six-month period due to
investor concerns about the long-term negative effects of an
extended decline in the financial service industry.
Another factor impacting performance for the six-month period
was the broad and technical upward move in the senior loan
market. The Fund did have exposure to both VNU Nielsen and
Charter Communication, two large positions which outperformed
the market on a relative basis. VNU had strong operating
results, while Charter filed for bankruptcya move that was
beneficial to senior lenders given the companys strong
assets which collateralize the term loan. The VNU Nielsen
position was eliminated before the end of the period.
In the emerging markets debt portion of the portfolio, the Fund
benefited from its relative underweight position in China, where
deterioration in the
Sino-American
trade balance appears to be one of the unintended consequences
of the U.S. economic stimulus policy. A relative underweight to
Trinidad & Tobago also contributed positively to
performance. Trinidad & Tobago (-11.9%) was one of the
worst performing emerging markets during the period, largely as
a result of a larger than expected slowdown in Latin America
that appeared in January. The Fund also benefited from a
comparative underweight to Egypt, where the global economic
slowdown, liquidity crisis, and risk reduction have meant
significant outflows from Egyptian capital markets, with the
countrys current account moving from surplus to deficit. A
relative overweight to the Philippines contributed positively to
performance, as lower oil prices held inflation down across the
region and provided the Philippine central bank with sufficient
leeway for aggressive monetary easing amid slowing business
activity.
Conversely, the Funds comparative underweight positions in
the Ukraine (+89.8%), Pakistan (+94.5%), the Dominican Republic
(+50.1%), and Gabon (+37.8%) detracted from relative
performance. The Ukraine, Pakistan, and the Dominican Republic
all rose following pledges of support from the International
Monetary Fund (IMF), reducing the risks of investing there.
The Ukraine also benefited from revised, less extreme downside
forecasts in Europe than were previously issued. Gabon advanced
on the announcement of a plan created in conjunction with the
IMF to diversify their economy and become less dependent on oil
revenues.
RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUNDS LEVERAGED CAPITAL
STRUCTURE
Shortly after its inception in 2003, the Fund issued
FundPreferred shares to create financial leverage. The Fund uses
leverage because its managers believe that, over time,
leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and
total return for common shareholders.
However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to
additional riskespecially when market conditions are
unfavorable. For example, if the prices of securities held by
the Fund decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes
on common share net asset value and common shareholder total
return would be magnified by the use of leverage.
As noted in the last several shareholder reports, the auction
rate preferred shares issued by many closed-end funds, including
this Nuveen Fund, have been hampered by a lack of liquidity
since February 2008. Since that time, more auction rate
preferred shares have been submitted for sale in their regularly
scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. This
means that these auctions have failed to clear, and
that many, or all, of the 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.
One continuing implication for JDD common shareholders from the
auction failures is that the Funds cost of leverage likely
has been incrementally higher at times than it otherwise might
have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a
result, the Funds common share earnings likely have been
incrementally lower at times than they otherwise might have been.
Beginning in the summer of 2008, the Fund announced its
intention to redeem most or all of its FundPreferred shares and
retain its leveraged structure primarily through the use of
borrowings. The Fund began a series of periodic, partial
redemptions in September 2008, and on June 10, 2009, it
announced its intention to redeem all of its remaining
outstanding FundPreferred shares. This final redemption is
contingent on favorable market conditions and temporary relief
from the Securities and Exchange Commission from certain
technical regulatory provisions. The Fund cannot provide any
assurance about if or when this regulatory relief might be
granted and if or when these last outstanding FundPreferred
shares might be redeemed.
As of June 30, 2009, the Fund had redeemed $105 million, at
par, of its FundPreferred shares, representing 87.5% of the
total amount originally issued by the Fund.
Leveraging using borrowings offers common shareholders most of
the same potential benefits and risks as leveraging with
FundPreferred.

Common Share
Distribution
and Share Price Information
The following information regarding your Funds
distributions is current as of June 30, 2009, and likely
will vary over time based on the Funds investment
activities and portfolio investment value changes.
The Fund reduced its quarterly distribution to common
shareholders once over the
six-month
reporting period. Some of the important factors affecting the
amount and composition of these distributions are summarized
below.
The Fund employs financial leverage through the use of
FundPreferred shares and/or bank borrowings. Financial leverage
provides the potential for higher earnings (net investment
income), total returns and distributions over time, butas
noted earlieralso increases the variability of common
shareholders net asset value per share in response to
changing market conditions. Over the reporting period, the
impact of financial leverage on the Funds net asset value
per share contributed positively to the income return and
detracted from the price return. The overall impact of financial
leverage detracted from the Funds total return.
The Fund has a managed distribution program. The goal of this
program is to provide common shareholders with relatively
consistent and predictable cash flow by systematically
converting the Funds expected long-term return potential
into regular distributions. As a result, regular common share
distributions throughout the year are likely to include a
portion of expected long-term gains (both realized and
unrealized), along with net investment income.
Important points to understand about the managed distribution
program are:
|
|
|
The Fund seeks to establish a relatively stable common share
distribution rate that roughly corresponds to the projected
total return from its investment strategy over an extended
period of time. However, you should not draw any conclusions
about the Funds past or future investment performance from
its current distribution rate.
|
|
|
Actual common share returns will differ from projected long-term
returns (and therefore the Funds distribution rate), at
least over shorter time periods. Over a specific timeframe, the
difference between actual returns and total distributions will
be reflected in an increasing (returns exceed distributions) or
a decreasing (distributions exceed returns) Fund net asset value.
|
|
|
Each distribution is expected to be paid from some or all of the
following sources:
|
|
|
|
|
|
net investment income (regular interest and dividends),
|
|
|
|
realized capital gains, and
|
|
|
|
unrealized gains, or, in certain cases, a return of principal
(non-taxable
distributions).
|
|
|
|
A
non-taxable
distribution is a payment of a portion of the Funds
capital. When the Funds returns exceed distributions, it
may represent portfolio gains generated, but not realized as a
taxable capital gain. In periods when the Funds returns
fall short of
|
|
|
|
distributions, the shortfall will represent a portion of your
original principal, unless the shortfall is offset during other
time periods over the life of your investment (previous or
subsequent) when the Funds total return exceeds
distributions.
|
|
|
|
Because distribution source estimates are updated during the
year based on the Funds performance and forecast for its
current fiscal year (which is the calendar year for the Fund),
estimates on the nature of your distributions provided at the
time the distributions are paid may differ from both the tax
information reported to you in your Funds IRS
Form 1099 statement provided at year end, as well as the
ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of your
investment.
|
The following table provides estimated information regarding the
Funds common share distributions and total return
performance for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The
distribution information is presented on a tax basis rather than
on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. This
information is intended to help you better understand whether
the Funds returns for the specified time period were
sufficient to meet the Funds distributions.
|
|

The Fund elected to retain a portion of its realized long-term
capital gains for the tax years ended December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, and pay required federal corporate
income taxes on these amounts. As reported on Form 2439,
Common shareholders on record date must include their pro-rata
share of these gains on their applicable federal tax returns,
and are entitled to take offsetting tax credits, for their
pro-rata
share of the taxes paid by the Fund. The total returns
Including retained gain tax credit/refund include
the economic benefit to Common shareholders on record date of
these tax credits/refunds. The Fund had no retained capital
gains for the tax year ended December 31, 2008.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1)
|
|
All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based
on net assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
|
(2)
|
|
Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poors Group
(Standard & Poors) or Moodys
Investor Service, Inc. (Moodys) rating.
Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poors or Baa by
Moodys are considered to be below investment grade.
|
|
|
|
|
(3)
|
|
Senior Loans generally are subject to mandatory
and/or
optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment
conditions and because there may be significant economic
incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans
may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of Senior
Loans held may be substantially less than the stated maturities
shown.
|
|
|
|
|
(4)
|
|
Senior Loans generally pay interest at rates which are
periodically adjusted by reference to a base short-term,
floating lending rate plus an assigned fixed rate. These
floating lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate
referenced by the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), or (ii) the prime rate offered by one or
more major United States banks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Senior Loans may be considered restricted in that the Fund
ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from
the Agent Bank
and/or
Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior Loan.
|
|
|
|
|
(5)
|
|
At or subsequent to June 30, 2009, this issue was under the
protection of the Federal Bankruptcy Court.

144A
|
|
Investment is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These investments may only
be resold in transactions exempt from registration which are
normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.

|
|
|
|
|
Reg S
|
|
Regulation S allows U.S. companies to sell securities to persons
or entities located outside of the United States without
registering those securities with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Specifically, Regulation S provides a safe harbor
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for the
offers and sales of securities by both foreign and domestic
issuers that are made outside the United States.
|
|
|
|
|
TBD
|
|
Senior Loan purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis. Certain details associated with this purchase are not
known prior to the settlement date of the transaction. In
addition, Senior Loans typically trade without accrued interest
and therefore a weighted average coupon rate is not available
prior to settlement. At settlement, if still unknown, the
Borrower or counterparty will provide the Fund with the final
weighted average coupon rate and maturity date.

General
Information and Significant Accounting Policies
|
Nuveen Diversified Dividend and Income Fund (the
Fund) is a closed-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Funds Common shares are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange and trade under the ticker symbol JDD. The
Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
July 18, 2003.
The Fund seeks to provide high current income and total return
by investing primarily in a portfolio of dividend-paying common
stocks, securities issued by Real Estate Investment Trusts
(REITs), debt securities and other non-equity
instruments that are issued by, or that are related to,
government, government-related and supernational issuers
located, or conducting their business, in emerging market
countries (emerging markets debt and foreign corporate
bonds) and senior loans.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting
principles.
Investment
Valuation
Exchange-listed securities are generally valued at the last
sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities
are primarily traded. Securities traded on a securities exchange
for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities
not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the mean of
the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on NASDAQ
are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. The prices of
fixed-income securities, senior loans and derivative instruments
are generally provided by an independent pricing service
approved by the Funds Board of Trustees. When market price
quotes are not readily available, the pricing service or, in the
absence of a pricing service for a particular investment or
derivative instrument, the Board of 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 obligors credit characteristics considered relevant.
Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates value.
The senior loans in which the Fund invests are not listed on an
organized exchange and the secondary market for such investments
may be less liquid relative to markets for other fixed-income
securities. Consequently, the value of senior loans, determined
as described above, may differ significantly from the value that
would have been determined had there been an active market for
that senior loan.
Investment
Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
Trade date for senior loans purchased in the primary
market is considered the date on which the loan
allocations are determined. Trade date for senior loans
purchased in the secondary market is the date on
which the transaction is entered into. Realized gains and losses
from investment 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 Fund has 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 June 30, 2009, the Fund had outstanding
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $3,665,000.
Investment
Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for
foreign securities, when information is available. 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, fee income and amendment fees, if any.
Fee income consists primarily of amendment fees. Amendment fees
are earned as compensation for evaluating and accepting changes
to an original senior loan agreement and are recognized when
received.
Income
Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of
its investment company taxable income to shareholders. In any
year when the Fund realizes net capital gains, the Fund may
choose to distribute all or a portion of its net capital gains
to shareholders, or alternatively, to retain all or a portion of
its net

|
capital gains and pay federal
corporate income taxes on such retained gains. The Fund had no
retained capital gains for the tax year ended December 31,
2008.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions,
management of the Fund 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 Fund 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
Distributions to Common shareholders are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are
determined in accordance with federal corporate income tax
regulations, which may differ from US generally accepted
accounting principles.
The Fund makes quarterly cash distributions to Common
shareholders of a stated dollar amount per share. Subject to
approval and oversight by the Funds Board of Trustees, the
Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to
deliver the long-term return potential of the Funds
investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a
Managed Distribution Program). Total distributions
during a calendar year generally will be made from the
Funds net investment income, net realized capital gains
and net unrealized capital gains in the Funds portfolio,
if any. The portion of distributions paid from net unrealized
gains, if any, would be distributed from the Funds assets
and would be treated by shareholders as a
non-taxable
distribution for tax purposes. In the event that total
distributions during a calendar year exceed the Funds
total return on net asset value, the difference will be treated
as a return of capital for tax purposes and will reduce net
asset value per share. If the Funds total return on net
asset value exceeds total distributions during a calendar year,
the excess will be reflected as an increase in net asset value
per share. The final determination of the source and character
of all distributions for the fiscal year are made after the end
of the fiscal year and are reflected in the financial statements
contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.
REIT distributions received by the Fund are generally comprised
of ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and
a return of REIT capital. The actual character of amounts
received during the period are not known until after the fiscal
year-end. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the
character of distributions to the Fund from the REITs was 60.35%
ordinary income, 28.69% long-term and short-term capital gains,
and 10.96% return of REIT capital.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund
applied the actual character of distributions reported by the
REITs in which the Fund invests to its receipts from the REITs.
If a REIT held in the portfolio of investments did not report
the actual character of its distributions during the period, the
Fund treated the distributions as ordinary income.
The actual character of distributions made by the Fund during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, is reflected in
the accompanying financial statements.
The distributions made by the Fund to its shareholders during
the six months ended June 30, 2009, are provisionally
classified as being From and in excess of net investment
income, and those distributions will be classified as
being from net investment income, net realized capital gains
and/or a
return of capital for tax purposes after the fiscal year end,
based upon the income type breakdown information conveyed at the
time by the REITs whose securities are held in the Funds
portfolio. For purposes of calculating Undistributed
(Over-distribution of) net investment income as of
June 30, 2009, the distribution amounts provisionally
classified as From and in excess of net investment
income were treated as being entirely from net investment
income. Consequently, the financial statements at June 30,
2009, reflect an over-distribution of net investment income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund applied
the actual percentages for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, described above, to its receipts from
the REITs and treated as income in the Statement of Operations
only the amount of ordinary income so calculated. The Fund
adjusts that estimated breakdown of income type (and
consequently its net investment income) as necessary early in
the following calendar year when the REITs inform their
shareholders of the actual breakdown of income type.
FundPreferred
Shares
As of June 30, 2009, the Fund has issued and outstanding
300 Series T and 300 Series W FundPreferred shares,
$25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting
financial leverage. The dividend rate paid by the Fund 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.
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted
in the regularly scheduled auctions for the FundPreferred shares
issued by the Fund than there were offers to buy. This meant
that these auctions failed to clear, and that many
FundPreferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in
these auctions were unable to do so. FundPreferred 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
FundPreferred shares.
These developments have generally not affected the management or
investment policies of the Fund. 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 than they otherwise would
have been.
As of June 30, 2009, the Fund has redeemed $105,000,000 of
its outstanding FundPreferred shares, at liquidation value.
Foreign Currency
Transactions
The Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange
transactions, including foreign currency forward, futures,
options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Fund invests
in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a
currency other than U.S. dollars, the Fund will be subject to
currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S.
dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or
portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value
against a foreign currency, the Funds investments
denominated in that currency will lose value because its
currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs
if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and
other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at
the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market
at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and
income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into
U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time. Investments and income and expenses are translated
on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized
foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in
exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between
trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign
currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of
interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the
amounts actually received.
The realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates are included in Net
realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency
and Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
of investments and foreign currency on the Statement of
Operations.
Forward Foreign
Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in
the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is
authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange
contracts in an attempt to manage such risk under two
circumstances: (i) when a Fund enters into a contract for
the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign
currency to lock in the U.S. exchange rate of
the transaction, with such period being a short-dated contract
covering the period between transaction date and settlement
date; or (ii) when Nuveen Asset Management (the
Adviser), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. (Nuveen), believes that the
currency of a particular foreign country may experience a
substantial movement against the U.S. dollar or against
another foreign currency. Forward foreign currency contracts are
valued daily at the forward rate and are recognized as
Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign
currency exchange contracts on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities The change in value of the contracts during
the reporting period is recognized as Change in net
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign
currency exchange contracts on the Statement of
Operations. When the contract is closed or offset with the same
counterparty, the Fund recognizes the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at
the time it was closed or offset as Net realized gain
(loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts on
the Statement of Operations.
Forward foreign currency contracts will generally not be entered
into for terms greater than three months, but may have
maturities of up to six months or more. The use of forward
foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Funds investment securities;
however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be
achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency
contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements
will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency
contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the
value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any
potential gain that might result should the value of the
currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may
involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss
reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The average number of forward foreign currency exchange
contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30,
2009, was 39. Refer to Footnote 3Derivative Instruments
and Hedging activities for further details on forward foreign
currency exchange contract activity.
Market and
Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business the 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 (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could
exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the
financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose
the Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of
cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap
transactions. The extent of the Funds exposure to
counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets
approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts expose a Fund to
minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and
the exchanges clearing house, which is counterparty to all
exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts
against default.
The Fund helps manage counterparty 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 the Fund with a value
approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a
pre-determined
threshold. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss,
the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the
Fund 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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Repurchase
Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is
the Funds policy that its custodian take possession of the
underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which
exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction,
including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller
defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines,
realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.
Custodian Fee
Credit
The Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby
certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits
earned on the Funds 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 the Fund overdraws its account at the
custodian bank.
Borrowing
Costs
Costs incurred by the Fund in connection with its debt
restructuring are recorded as a deferred charge which are being
amortized through December 13, 2009, and are included as a
component of Interest expense on borrowings and
amortization of borrowing costs on the Statement of
Operations.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds organizational documents, its Officers and
Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out
of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in
the normal course of business, the Fund enters 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
Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had
prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects
the risk of loss to be remote.
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.

Fair Value
Measurements
|
In determining the value of the Funds 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 managements
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 the Funds fair
value measurements as of June 30, 2009:

Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
|
During the current fiscal period, the Fund adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161 (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 better understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments; b) how derivative instruments are
accounted for; and c) how derivative instruments affect a
funds financial position, results of operations and cash
flows, if any. The Fund records derivative instruments at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of
Operations. Even though the Funds investments in
derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered
to be non-hedge transactions for SFAS No. 161
disclosure purposes.
The following table presents the fair value of all derivative
instruments held by the Fund as of June 30, 2009, the
location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

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 the treatment of
paydown gains and losses, recognition of premium amortization,
recognition of income on REIT investments and timing differences
in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions. 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 value of the Fund.
At June 30, 2009, the cost of investments was $276,314,271.
Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation
of investments at June 30, 2009, were as follows:

Management Fees
and Other Transactions with Affiliates
|
The Funds management fee is separated into two
componentsa 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 the 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, is based upon the
average daily managed net assets of the Fund as follows:

U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund net assets
managed as stated in the following table. As of June 30,
2009, the complex-level fee rate was .1970%.

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 include assets managed by the Adviser
that are attributable to 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
trusts 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 Adviser has entered into Sub-Advisory
Agreements with NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC
(NWQ), Security Capital Research & Management
Incorporated (Security Capital), Symphony Asset
Management, LLC (Symphony) and Wellington Management
Company, LLP (Wellington). NWQ and Symphony are both
subsidiaries of Nuveen. NWQ manages the portion of the
Funds investment portfolio allocated to dividend-paying
common stocks including American Depositary Receipts
(ADRs). Security Capital manages the portion of the
Funds investment portfolio allocated to securities issued
by real estate companies. Symphony manages the portion of the
Funds investment portfolio allocated to senior loans.
Wellington manages the portion of the Funds investment
portfolio allocated to emerging markets debt and foreign
corporate bonds. NWQ, Security Capital, Symphony and Wellington
are compensated for their services to the Fund from the
management fee paid to the Adviser.
The Fund pays no compensation directly to those of its Trustees
who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its Officers, all of
whom receive remuneration for their services to the Fund from
the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted
a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that
enables 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 the Funds operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of
average daily managed net assets, for fees and expenses in the
amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

Senior Loan
Commitments
|
Unfunded
Commitments
Pursuant to the terms of certain of the variable rate senior
loan agreements, the Fund may have unfunded senior loan
commitments. The Fund will maintain with its custodian, cash,
liquid securities and/or liquid senior loans having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of unfunded senior loan
commitments. At June 30, 2009, the Fund had no unfunded
senior loan commitments.

Participation
Commitments
With respect to the senior loans held in the Funds
portfolio, the Fund may: 1) invest in assignments;
2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates; or
3) invest in participations. If the Fund purchases a
participation of a senior loan interest, the Fund would
typically enter into a contractual agreement with the lender or
other third party selling the participation, rather than
directly with the Borrower. As such, the Fund not only assumes
the credit risk of the Borrower, but also that of the Selling
Participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund
and the Borrower. At June 30, 2009, there were no such
outstanding participation commitments.

|
Borrowing
Arrangements
|
Management determined that leveraging the Fund with debt as a
replacement for FundPreferred shares continued to benefit the
Funds shareholders. The Fund has entered into a
$50 million senior committed secured
364-day
revolving line of credit with its custodian bank. Amounts drawn
on the line of credit are recognized as Borrowings
on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the average daily
balance outstanding on these borrowings and average interest
rate was $50,000,000 and .31%, 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 borrowings and amortization of borrowing costs
on the Statement of Operations.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 165 (SFAS No. 165)
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 165 (SFAS No. 165),
Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 requires
an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects
of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about
conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet.
SFAS No. 165 is intended to establish general
standards of accounting and for disclosure of events that occur
after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has
evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that
date that is, whether that date represents the date
the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Fund has
performed an evaluation of subsequent events through
August 26, 2009, which is the date the financial statements
were issued.

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 takes 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 Funds
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.
|
|
|
|
The Fund elected to
retain a portion of its realized long-term capital gains for the
following tax years ended December 31, (which is the fiscal
year end for the Fund) and pay required federal corporate
income taxes on these amounts. As reported on Form 2439,
Common shareholders on record date must include their pro-rata
share of these gains on their applicable federal tax returns,
and are entitled to take offsetting tax credits, for their
pro-rata share of the taxes paid by the Fund. The standardized
total returns shown above do not include the economic benefit to
Common shareholders on record date of these tax credits/refunds.
The Funds corresponding Total Returns Based on Market
Value and Common Share Net Asset Value when these benefits are
included are as follows:

Annual Investment
Management
Agreement Approval Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), provides, in substance, that each
investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment
adviser (including
sub-advisers)
will continue in effect from year to year only if its
continuance is approved at least annually by the funds
board members, including by a vote of a majority of the board
members who are not parties to the advisory agreement or
interested persons of any parties (the
Independent Board Members), cast in person at
a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
In connection with such approvals, the funds board members
must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is
required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably
necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement.
Accordingly, at a meeting held on May
27-29, 2009
(the May Meeting), the Board of Trustees (the
Board, and each Trustee, a Board
Member) of the Fund, including a majority of the
Independent Board Members, considered and approved the
continuation of the advisory and
sub-advisory
agreements for the Fund for an additional one-year period. These
agreements include the investment advisory agreement between
Nuveen Asset Management (NAM) and the Fund
and the
sub-advisory
agreements between NAM and NWQ Investment Management Company,
LLC (NWQ), NAM and Symphony Asset Management
LLC (Symphony), NAM and Wellington Management
Company, LLP (Wellington), and NAM and
Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated
(Security Capital and, together with NWQ,
Symphony and Wellington, the
Sub-Advisers).
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the
Board also held a separate meeting on April
21-22, 2009
(the April Meeting). Accordingly, the factors
considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the
Independent Board Members include those made at the April
Meeting.
In addition, in evaluating the advisory agreement (the
Investment Management Agreement) and
sub-advisory
agreements (each, a
Sub-advisory
Agreement, and the Investment Management Agreement and
Sub-advisory
Agreements are each an Advisory Agreement),
the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of
information relating to the Fund, NAM and the
Sub-Advisers
(NAM and the
Sub-Advisers
are each a Fund Adviser), including
absolute performance, fee and expense information for the Fund
as well as comparative performance, fee and expense information
for a comparable peer group of funds, the performance
information of recognized
and/or
customized benchmarks (as applicable) of the Fund, the
profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which
includes its wholly owned subsidiaries other than Winslow
Capital Management, Inc. (Winslow Capital),
which was recently acquired in December 2008), and other
information regarding the organization, personnel, and services
provided by the respective Fund Adviser. The Independent
Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times as
the need arose during the year and took into account the
information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained
therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory
Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing
information with their independent legal counsel and with
management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel
describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory
contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private
sessions without management present. The Independent Board
Members considered the legal advice provided by independent
legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of the
Fund Adviser, its services and the Fund resulting from
their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and
their own business judgment in determining the factors to be
considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board
Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors
in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to the
Funds Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members
did not identify any single factor as all-important or
controlling. The Independent Board Members considerations
were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the
information presented. The principal factors considered by the
Board and its conclusions are described below.
|
|
A.
|
Nature, Extent
and Quality of Services
|
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the
Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and
quality of the Fund Advisers services, including
advisory services and administrative services. The Independent
Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things,
the Fund Advisers organization and business; the
types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates
provide and are expected to provide to the Fund; the performance
record of the Fund (as described in further detail below); and
any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product
line.
In reviewing the services provided and the initiatives
undertaken during the past year, the Independent Board Members
recognized the severe market turmoil experienced in the capital
markets during recent periods, including sustained periods of
high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention.
The Independent Board Members considered the
Fund Advisers efforts, expertise and other actions
taken to address matters as they arose that impacted the Fund.
The Independent Board Members recognized the role of the
Investment Services group which, among other things, monitors
the various positions throughout the Nuveen fund complex to
identify and address any systematic risks. In addition, the
Capital Markets Committee of NAM provides a multi-departmental
venue for developing new policies to mitigate any risks. The
Independent Board Members further recognized NAMs
continuous review of the Nuveen funds investment
strategies and mandates in seeking to continue to refine and
improve the investment process for the funds, particularly in
light of market conditions. With respect to closed-end funds
that issued auction rate preferred shares
(ARPs) or that otherwise utilize leverage,
the Independent Board Members noted, in particular, NAMs
efforts in refinancing the preferred shares of such funds frozen
by the collapse of the auction rate market and managing leverage
during a period of rapid market declines, particularly for the
non-equity funds. Such efforts included negotiating and
maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other
sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy
liquidity needs, liquidating portfolio securities during
difficult times to meet leverage ratios, and seeking alternative
forms of debt and other leverage that may over time reduce
financing costs associated with ARPs and enable the funds that
have issued ARPs to restore liquidity to ARPs holders. The
Independent Board Members also noted Nuveens continued
commitment and efforts to keep investors and financial advisers
informed as to its progress with the ARPs through, among other
things, conference calls, emails, press releases, information
posted on its website, and telephone calls and in-person
meetings with financial advisers. In addition to the foregoing,
the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services
that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds,
including, in particular, Nuveens continued commitment to
supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its
closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise
investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end
funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations
program to provide timely information and education to financial
advisers and investors; providing advertising and marketing for
the closed-end funds; maintaining websites; and providing
educational seminars.
As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also
evaluated the background, experience and track record of the
Fund Advisers investment personnel. In this regard,
the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the
personnel, and the impact on the level of services provided to
the Fund, if any. The Independent Board Members also reviewed
information regarding portfolio manager compensation
arrangements to evaluate the Fund Advisers ability to
attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve
stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive
for taking undue risks.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members
considered the quality of administrative services provided by
NAM and its affiliates including product management, fund
administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder
services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and
portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of
compliance, the Independent Board Members considered NAMs
compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance
officer regarding the Funds compliance policies and
procedures.
The Independent Board Members also considered NAMs
oversight of the performance, business activities and compliance
of the
Sub-Advisers.
In that regard, the Independent Board Members reviewed an
evaluation of each
Sub-Adviser
from NAM. The evaluation also included information relating to
the respective
Sub-Advisers
organization, operations, personnel, assets under management,
investment philosophy, strategies and techniques in managing the
Fund, developments affecting each
Sub-Adviser,
and an analysis of each
Sub-Adviser.
As described in further detail below, the Board considered the
performance of the portion of the investment
Annual Investment Management
Agreement Approval Process
(continued)
portfolio for which each
Sub-Adviser
is responsible. The Board also recognized that the
Sub-advisory
Agreements were essentially agreements for portfolio management
services only and the
Sub-Advisers
were not expected to supply other significant administrative
services to the Fund. As part of their oversight, the
Independent Board Members also continued their program of
seeking to visit each
sub-adviser
to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation,
meeting with key investment and business personnel. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members met with NWQ in February
2009. The Independent Board Members noted that NAM recommended
the renewal of the
Sub-advisory
Agreements and considered the basis for such recommendations and
any qualifications in connection therewith.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that,
overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided
(and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment
Management Agreement or
Sub-advisory
Agreement, as applicable, were satisfactory.

B.

The Investment
Performance of the Fund and Fund Advisers
|
The Board considered the investment performance of the Fund,
including the Funds historic performance as well as its
performance compared to funds with similar investment objectives
(the Performance Peer Group) based on data
provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data as well
as recognized
and/or
customized benchmarks. The Independent Board Members reviewed
performance information including, among other things, total
return information compared with the Funds Performance
Peer Group and recognized
and/or
customized benchmarks for the quarter-, one-, three- and
five-year periods ending December 31, 2008 and for the same
periods ending March 31, 2009. The Independent Board
Members also reviewed performance information of the Nuveen
funds managed by each of Security Capital, NWQ and Symphony,
respectively, in the aggregate ranked by peer group and the
performance of such funds, in the aggregate, relative to their
benchmark. The Independent Board Members also reviewed, among
other things, the returns of each sleeve of the Fund relative to
the benchmark of each sleeve and the overall benchmark for the
Fund for the year 2008. This information supplemented the Fund
performance information provided to the Board at each of its
quarterly meetings.
In comparing a funds performance with that of its
Performance Peer Group, the Independent Board Members took into
account that the closest Performance Peer Group in certain
instances may not adequately reflect the respective funds
investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a
meaningful comparison of the funds performance with that
of the Performance Peer Group. The Independent Board Members
further considered the performance of the Fund in the context of
the volatile market conditions during the past year, and their
impact on various asset classes and the portfolio management of
the Fund.
Based on their review and factoring in the severity of market
turmoil in 2008, the Independent Board Members determined that
the Funds investment performance over time had been
satisfactory.
|

C.
|
Fees, Expenses
and Profitability
|
1. Fees and
Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of the Fund
reviewing, among other things, the Funds gross management
fees, net management fees and total expense ratios (before and
after expense reimbursements
and/or
waivers) in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and
expenses of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based on
data provided by an independent fund data provider (the
Peer Universe) and in certain cases, to a
more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the
Peer Group).
The Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding
the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group.
In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the
Independent Board Members took into account that in certain
instances various factors such as the asset level of a fund
relative to peers, the size and particular composition of the
Peer Universe or Peer Group, the investment objectives of the
peers, expense anomalies, changes in the funds comprising the
Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year, levels of
reimbursement and the timing of information used may impact the
comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a
meaningful comparison. The Independent Board Members also
considered, among other things, the differences in the use and
type of leverage compared to the peers. In reviewing the fee
schedule for the Fund, the Independent Board Members also
considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules
(described in further detail below) and any fee waivers
and reimbursements provided by
Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain closed-end funds
launched since 1999).
Based on their review of the fee and expense information
provided, the Independent Board Members determined that the
Funds management fees and net total expense ratio were
reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of
services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons
with the Fees of Other Clients
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information
regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to
other clients. Such clients include separately managed accounts
(both retail and institutional accounts) and funds that are not
offered by Nuveen but are
sub-advised
by one of Nuveens investment management teams. In
evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board
Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Fund and other
clients vary, among other things, because of the different
services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance
requirements associated with registered investment companies,
such as the Fund. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members
considered the differences in the product types, including, but
not limited to, the services provided, the structure and
operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio
investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and
regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in
particular, that the range of services provided to the Fund (as
discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to
separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in
the products, particularly the extensive services provided to
the Fund, the Independent Board Members believe such facts
justify the different levels of fees.
In considering the fees of the
Sub-Advisers,
the Independent Board Members also considered the pricing
schedule or fees that each
Sub-Adviser
charges for similar investment management services for other
fund sponsors or clients (such as retail
and/or
institutional managed accounts) as applicable. With respect to
Symphony, the Independent Board Members also reviewed the fees
it assesses for equity and taxable fixed-income hedge funds and
hedge accounts it manages, which include a performance fee. The
Independent Board Members noted that with respect to Security
Capital and Wellington, the
Sub-Advisers
that are unaffiliated with Nuveen, such fees were the result of
arms-length negotiations.
3. Profitability
of Fund Advisers
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board
Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its
advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveens
wholly-owned affiliated
sub-advisers
other than Winslow Capital) and its financial condition. The
Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of
Nuveens advisory activities for the last two years, the
allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data
and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in
revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2008. In
addition, the Independent Board Members reviewed information
regarding the financial results of Nuveen for 2008 based on its
Form 8-K
filed on March 31, 2009. The Independent Board Members
noted this information supplemented the profitability
information requested and received during the year to help keep
them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as
changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments).
In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they
had also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person
to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability
analysis
and/or
methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members
also considered Nuveens revenues for advisory activities,
expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various
unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets
under management and relatively comparable asset composition
prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members
recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability
which may be affected by numerous factors including the
allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members
recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the
profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly
available and the profitability information that is available
for certain advisers or management firms may not be
representative of the industry and may be affected by, among
other things, the advisers particular business mix,
capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members
reviewed Nuveens
Annual Investment Management
Agreement Approval Process
(continued)
methodology and assumptions for
allocating expenses across product lines to determine
profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board
Members recognized Nuveens investment in its fund business.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded
that Nuveens level of profitability for its advisory
activities was reasonable in light of the services provided. In
addition, with respect to Security Capital and Wellington, which
are unaffiliated with Nuveen, the Independent Board Members also
considered each such
Sub-Advisers
revenues, expenses and profitability margins (pre- and
post-tax). Based on their review, the Independent Board Members
were satisfied that each such
Sub-Advisers
level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services
provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the
Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to
a Fund Adviser by the Fund as well as any indirect benefits
(such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser
and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are
directly attributable to the management of the Fund, if any. See
Section E below for additional information on indirect
benefits the Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its
relationship with the Fund. Based on their review of the overall
fee arrangements of the Fund, the Independent Board Members
determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the Fund were
reasonable.
|
|
D.
|
Economies of
Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of
Scale
|
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board
Members have recognized the potential benefits resulting from
the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base,
although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict
with precision, particularly on a
fund-by-fund
basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these
benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule.
Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are
comprised of a fund-level component and a complex-level
component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the
Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable
fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce
advisory fees as asset levels increase. In this regard, the
Independent Board Members noted that although closed-end funds
may from
time-to-time
make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets will
occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds
investment portfolio. While economies of scale result when costs
can be spread over a larger asset base, the Independent Board
Members also recognized that the asset levels generally declined
in 2008 due to, among other things, the market downturn.
Accordingly, for funds with a reduction in assets under
management, advisory fee levels may have increased as
breakpoints in the fee schedule were no longer surpassed.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board
also considered the Funds complex-wide fee arrangement.
Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the
funds in the Nuveen complex generally are reduced as the assets
in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee
arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale
to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase,
even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have
decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of
Nuveens costs are attributable to services provided to all
its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if
these costs are spread over a larger asset base. Generally, the
complex-wide pricing reduces Nuveens revenue because total
complex fund assets have consistently grown in prior years. As
noted, however, total fund assets declined in 2008 resulting in
a smaller downward adjustment of revenues due to complex-wide
pricing compared to the prior year.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded
that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement
(as applicable) were acceptable and reflect economies of scale
to be shared with shareholders when assets under management
increase.
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and
considered information regarding potential fall out
or ancillary benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its
affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with the
Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered
revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at
Nuveens trading desk.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members
considered whether the Fund Adviser received any benefits
from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by the Fund for brokerage may be used to
acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in
managing the assets of the Fund and other clients. With respect
to NAM, the Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not
currently have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the
extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on
markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and
riskless principal transactions are considered as generating
commissions, NAM intends to comply with the
applicable safe harbor provisions.
With respect to NWQ and Security Capital, the Independent Board
Members considered that such
Sub-Advisers
may benefit from their soft dollar arrangements pursuant to
which the respective
Sub-Adviser
receives research from brokers that execute the Funds
portfolio transactions. With respect to Wellington, the
Independent Board Members noted that while Wellington does have
some soft dollar arrangements with respect to some of its agency
trades, the trades in fixed income securities held by the Fund
are done on a principal basis and do not generate soft dollar
credits. For these
Sub-Advisers,
the Independent Board Members further noted that such
Sub-Advisers
profitability may be lower if they were required to pay for this
research with hard dollars. With respect to Symphony, the Board
also considered that Symphony currently does not enter into soft
dollar arrangements; however, it has adopted a soft dollar
policy in the event it does so in the future.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded
that any indirect benefits received by a Fund Adviser as a
result of its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and
within acceptable parameters.
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor
discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Board
Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously
concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreement
and
Sub-advisory
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the respective
Fund Advisers fees are reasonable in light of the
services provided to the Fund and that the Investment Management
Agreement and the
Sub-advisory
Agreements be renewed.
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, youll 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
youll 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 Funds 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
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
|
|
n
|
Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly
used method to express an investments performance over a
particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the
return that would have been necessary each year to equal the
investments actual cumulative performance (including
change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and
capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being
considered.
|
|
n
|
Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs):
Collateralized debt obligations are a type of asset-backed
security constructed from a portfolio of fixed-income assets.
CDOs usually are divided into different tranches having
different ratings and paying different interest rates. Losses,
if any, are applied in reverse order of seniority and so junior
tranches generally offer higher coupons to compensate for added
default risk.
|
|
n
|
Current Distribution Rate (also known as Market Yield,
Dividend Yield or Current Yield): Current distribution
rate is based on the Funds current annualized quarterly
distribution divided by the Funds current market price.
The Funds quarterly distributions to its shareholders may
be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and,
if at the end of the calendar year the Funds cumulative
net ordinary income and net realized gains are less than the
amount of the Funds distributions, a tax return of capital.
|
|
n
|
Net Asset Value (NAV): A Funds 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.
