On the matters coming before each Annual Meeting as to which a choice has been specified by shareholders on the proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is returned and no choice is specified, the shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint Proxy Statement. Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about October 11, 2005. The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for each Annual Meeting is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders. The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to each matter:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTER COMMON SHARES PREFERRED SHARES(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1a(i). Election of seven (7) Board Members by X X all shareholders (except California Value). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a(ii). Election of two (2) Board Members by X Preferred Shares only (except California Value). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- b. Election of three (3) Board Members for X N/A California Value by all shareholders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) Taxable Auctioned Preferred Shares for Senior Income; FundPreferred shares for Floating Rate, Floating Rate Opportunity and Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate; and Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares ("MuniPreferred") for each other Fund are referred to as "Preferred Shares." A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Annual Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member nominees to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares of each Fund (except California Value), 33 1/3% of the Preferred Shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in "street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the 4 broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum. For each Minnesota Corporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the Board Members of that Minnesota Corporation. For each Massachusetts Business Trust, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the Board Members of that Massachusetts Business Trust. For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each of the Massachusetts Business Trusts, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the approval of the proposal to elect nominees for each of the Minnesota Corporations, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the election of Board Members. The details of the proposal to be voted on by the shareholders and the vote required for approval of the proposal is set forth under the description of the proposal below. Preferred Shares held in "street name" as to which voting instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote as of one business day before the Annual Meeting, or, if adjourned, one business day before the day to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned, and that would otherwise be treated as "broker non-votes" may, pursuant to Rule 452 of the New York Stock Exchange, be voted by the broker on the proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast by all Preferred shareholders as a class who have voted on the proposal or in the same proportion as the votes cast by all Preferred shareholders of the Fund who have voted on that item. Rule 452 permits proportionate voting of Preferred Shares with respect to a particular item if, among other things, (i) a minimum of 30% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares with respect to such item and (ii) less than 10% of the Preferred Shares or shares of a series of Preferred Shares outstanding has been voted by the holders of such shares against such item. For the purpose of meeting the 30% test, abstentions will be treated as shares "voted" and, for the purpose of meeting the 10% test, abstentions will not be treated as shares "voted" against the item. 5 Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on September 20, 2005 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of September 20, 2005, the shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

(1) The numbers include share equivalents of certain Nuveen funds in which the Board Member is deemed to be invested pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members as more fully described below. (2) Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund did not commence operations until March 16, 2005. (3) In November 2004, Messrs. Kundert and Sunshine were appointed to each Fund's Board, effective February 23, 2005. Mr. Sunshine did own shares of Nuveen Funds prior to his being appointed as a Board Member. On December 31, 2004, Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned 1,196,807 common shares of all funds managed by Adviser (includes deferred units and shares held by the executive officers in Nuveen's 401(k)/profit sharing plan). Each Board Member's individual beneficial shareholdings of each Fund constitute less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund. As of July 31, 2005, the Board Members and executive officers as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding common shares of each Fund. As of September 20, 2005, the Funds were not aware that any shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of any class of shares of any Fund, except as listed below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHAREHOLDER NAME AND AMOUNT OF PERCENTAGE FUND AND CLASS ADDRESS(1) SHARES OWNED OWNED --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Senior Income Fund -- Common First Trust Portfolios L.P. 3,122,382 10.5% Shares 1001 Warrenville Road Lisle, IL 60532 First Trust Advisors L.P. 1001 Warrenville Road Lisle, IL 60532 The Charger Corporation 1001 Warrenville Road Lisle, IL 60532 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) First Trust Portfolios L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. and The Charger Corporation are shared beneficial owners of the amount and percentage of Senior Income shares shown. Information is based on a Schedule 13G filed on behalf of First Trust Portfolios L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. and The Charger Corporation on June 10, 2005. 25 COMPENSATION For all Nuveen funds, Independent Board Members receive an $85,000 annual retainer plus (a) a fee of $2,000 per day for attendance in person or by telephone at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board; (b) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person where such in-person attendance is required and $500 per day for attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required at a special, non-regularly scheduled board meeting; (c) a fee of $1,000 per day for attendance in person at an audit committee or compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee meeting where in-person attendance is required and $750 per day for audit committee attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required and $500 per day for compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee attendance by telephone or in person where in-person attendance is not required; (d) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person or by telephone for a meeting of the dividend committee; and (e) a fee of $500 per day for attendance in person at all other committee meetings (including ad hoc committee meetings and shareholder meetings) on a day on which no regularly scheduled board meeting is held in which in-person attendance is required and $250 per day for attendance by telephone or in person at such meetings where in-person attendance is not required, plus, in each case, expenses incurred in attending such meetings. In addition to the payments described above, the chairperson of each committee of the Board (except the dividend committee and executive committee) receives $5,000 as an addition to the annual retainer paid to such individuals. When ad hoc committees are organized, the Board may provide for additional compensation to be paid to the members of such committees. The annual retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser, on the basis of relative net asset sizes although fund management may, in its discretion, establish a minimum amount to be allocated to each fund. The Board Member affiliated with Nuveen and the Adviser serves without any compensation from the Funds. The boards of certain Nuveen funds (the "Participating Funds") established a Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Board Members ("Deferred Compensation Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Independent Board Members of the Participating Funds may defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more eligible Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected to defer at least a portion of his or her fees. The Funds that are Participating Funds under the Deferred Compensation Plan are Floating Rate, Floating Rate Opportunity, Senior Income, California Value, California Performance, California Investment, California Select, California Quality, Insured California 2, California Dividend, California Dividend 2, California Dividend 3, Insured California Dividend, Insured Florida Premium, Florida Investment, Florida Quality, Michigan Quality, New Jersey Investment, New Jersey Premium, Pennsylvania Premium 2 and Pennsylvania Investment. 26 The table below shows, for each Independent Board Member, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid (including deferred fees) for service on the boards of the Nuveen open-end and closed-end funds managed by the Adviser for the calendar year ended 2004. Mr. Schwertfeger, a Board Member who is an interested person of the Funds, does not receive any compensation from the Funds or any Nuveen funds.

32 Nuveen maintains a charitable matching contributions program to encourage the active support and involvement of individuals in the civic activities of their community. The Independent Board Members of the funds managed by the Adviser are eligible to participate in the matching contributions program of Nuveen. Under the matching contributions program, Nuveen will match the personal contributions of a Board Member to Section 501(c)(3) organizations up to an aggregate maximum amount of $10,000 during any calendar year. COMMITTEES The Board of each Fund has five standing committees: the executive committee, the audit committee, the nominating and governance committee, the dividend committee and the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee. Robert P. Bremner, Judith M. Stockdale and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, serve as members of the executive committee of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, is limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the executive committee) and (ii) matters of an administrative or ministerial nature. The executive committee of each Fund held no meetings during its last fiscal year, except the executive committee of the Floating Rate Opportunity Fund held one meeting and the executive committee of the Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund held two meetings. Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans and Timothy R. Schwertfeger, Chair, are current members of the dividend committee of each Fund. The dividend committee is authorized to declare distributions on the Fund's shares including, but not limited to, regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions. The dividend committee of each Fund held five meetings during its last fiscal year, except the dividend committee of the Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund held three meetings. Lawrence H. Brown, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Chair, and Judith M. Stockdale are current members of the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund. The compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee is responsible for the oversight of compliance issues, risk management, and other regulatory matters affecting the Funds which are not otherwise the jurisdiction of the other Board committees. As part of its duties regarding compliance matters, the committee was responsible during 2004 for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee of each Fund held four meetings during its last fiscal year, except the compliance, risk management and regulatory oversight committee of the Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund held two meetings. Each Fund's Board has an audit committee, established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), composed of Independent Board Members who are "independent" as that term is defined in the listing standards pertaining to closed-end funds of the New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, Chair, 33 William J. Schneider and Eugene S. Sunshine are current members of the audit committee of each Fund. The audit committee is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices and the audit of the financial statement of the Funds, (2) the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds, and (3) the independent auditors' qualifications, performance and independence. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Funds' independent auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the Board. Commencing in 2005, the audit committee is responsible for the oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the internal Valuation Group. The Boards adopted an Audit Committee Charter that conforms to the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix A. The audit committee of each Fund held four meetings during its last fiscal year, except the audit committee of the Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund held one meeting. Each Fund has a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of Independent Board Members who are also "independent" as defined by New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange listing standards, as applicable. Robert P. Bremner, Chair, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, William C. Hunter, David J. Kundert, William J. Schneider, Judith M. Stockdale and Eugene S. Sunshine are current members of the nominating and governance committee of each Fund. The purpose of the nominating and governance committee is to seek, identify and recommend to the Board qualified candidates for election or appointment to each Fund's Board. In addition, the committee oversees matters of corporate governance, including the evaluation of Board performance and processes, and assignment and rotation of committee members, and the establishment of corporate governance guidelines and procedures, to the extent necessary or desirable. The committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Boards. The nominating and governance committee charter is available on the Funds' website at http://www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundGovernance.aspx. The nominating and governance committee of each Fund held five meetings during its last fiscal year, except the nominating and governance committee of the Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund held one meeting and the nominating and governance committee of the California Funds held four meetings. The nominating and governance committee looks to many sources for recommendations of qualified Board members, including current Board Members, employees of the Adviser, current shareholders of the Funds, third party sources and any other persons or entities that may be deemed necessary or desirable by the committee. Shareholders of the Funds who wish to nominate a candidate to their Fund's Board should mail information to the attention of Lorna Ferguson, Manager of Fund Board Relations, Nuveen Investments, 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. This information must include evidence of Fund ownership of the person or entity recommending the candidate, a full listing of the proposed candidate's education, experience, current employment, date of birth, names and addresses of at least three professional references, information as to whether the candidate is an "interested person" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) in relation to the Fund and such other information that would be helpful to the nominating and governance committee in evaluating the candidate. All satisfactorily completed information regarding candidates will be forwarded to the chairman of the nominating and governance committee and the outside counsel to the Independent Board Members. Recommendations for candidates to the Board will be evaluated in light of whether the number of Board members is expected to change and whether the Board expects any vacancies. All nominations from Fund shareholders will 34 be acknowledged, although there may be times when the committee is not actively recruiting new Board members. In those circumstances nominations will be kept on file until active recruitment is under way. The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations to the Board. In considering a candidate's qualifications, each candidate must meet certain basic requirements, including relevant skills and experience, time availability and, if qualifying as an Independent Board Member candidate, independence from the Adviser or other service providers. These experience requirements may vary depending on the current composition of the Board, since the goal is to ensure an appropriate range of skills and experience, in the aggregate. All candidates must meet high expectations of personal integrity, governance experience and professional competence that are assessed on the basis of personal interviews, recommendations, or direct knowledge by committee members. The committee may use any process it deems appropriate for the purpose of evaluating candidates, which process may include, without limitation, personal interviews, background checks, written submissions by the candidates and third party references. There is no difference in the manner in which the nominating and governance committee evaluates nominees when the nominee is submitted by a shareholder. The nominating and governance committee reserves the right to make the final selection regarding the nomination of any prospective Board member. The Board of each Fund held four regular quarterly meetings and six special meetings during the last fiscal year, except the Board of the Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund held five regular quarterly meetings and seven special meetings, the Board of the Floating Rate Opportunity Fund held five regular quarterly meetings and six special meetings, the Boards of the Senior Income Fund, the Floating Rate Fund, the Arizona Funds, the Michigan Funds, the Ohio Funds and the Texas Fund held five regular quarterly meetings and five special meetings and the Board of the California Funds held four regular quarterly meetings and four special meetings. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or more of each Fund's Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member thereof) held during the period for which such Board Member was a Board Member. The policy of the Board relating to attendance by Board Members at annual meetings of the Funds and the number of Board Members who attended the last annual meeting of shareholders of each Fund is posted on the Funds' website at www.nuveen.com/etf/products/fundgovernance.aspx. 35 THE OFFICERS The following table sets forth information as of September 15, 2005 with respect to each officer of the Funds other than Mr. Schwertfeger (who is a Board Member and is included in the table relating to nominees for the Board). Officers receive no compensation from the Funds. The officers are elected by the Board on an annual basis to serve until successors are elected and qualified.

(1) Length of Service indicates the year the individual became an officer of a fund in the Nuveen fund complex. (2) Nuveen Advisory Corp. and Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. were merged into Nuveen Asset Management, effective January 1, 2005. AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The audit committee of the Board is responsible for the oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audit of the financial statements, of each Fund, (2) the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds, and (3) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, performance and independence. In its oversight capacity, the committee reviews each Fund's annual financial statements with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm and the committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm to consider their evaluation of each Fund's financial and internal controls. The committee also selects, retains, evaluates and may replace each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. The committee is currently composed of five Board 40 Members and operates under a written charter adopted and approved by the Board, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A. Each committee member meets the independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm. The committee has also reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. Management has represented to the independent registered public accounting firm that each Fund's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards ("SAS") No. 61, (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by SAS No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications). Each Fund's independent registered public accounting firm provided to the committee the written disclosure required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm their firm's independence. As provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the committee's responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced above do not ensure, that each Fund's financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Based on the committee's review and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the representations of management and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the committee, the committee has recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in each Fund's Annual Report. The members of the committee are: Robert P. Bremner Lawrence H. Brown Jack B. Evans William J. Schneider Eugene S. Sunshine 41 AUDIT AND RELATED FEES.

47 AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Generally, the audit committee must approve each Fund's independent auditor's engagements (i) with the Fund for audit or non-audit services and (ii) with the Adviser and Adviser Entities for non-audit services if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund and the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund), such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the audit committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the audit committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the audit committee at the next audit committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000. For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the audit committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to each Fund and to the Adviser and Adviser Entities (with respect to the operations and financial reporting of each Fund). None of the services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP to each Fund or the Adviser or Adviser Entities were pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2.01(c)(7)(i)(C) or Rule 2.01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X. APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Each Board has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and records of each Fund for its fiscal year.

Droeger Vice President and Secretary October 11, 2005 51 APPENDIX A NUVEEN FUND BOARD AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER 1 JANUARY 2005 I. ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees (the "Board") of the Nuveen Management Investment Companies (the "Funds" or, individually, a "Fund") to be known as the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall be comprised of at least three Directors/Trustees. Audit Committee members shall be independent of the Funds and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Directors/Trustees, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as an Audit Committee member. In particular, each member must meet the independence and experience requirements applicable to the Funds of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Section 10a of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Each such member of the Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting, be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and be financially literate, and at least one such member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, in each case as determined by the Directors/Trustees, exercising their business judgment (this person may also serve as the Audit Committee's "financial expert" as defined by the Commission). The Board shall appoint the members and the Chairman of the Audit Committee, on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Audit Committee shall meet periodically but in any event no less frequently than on a semi-annual basis. Except for the Funds, Audit Committee members shall not serve simultaneously on the audit committees of more than two other public companies. II. STATEMENT OF POLICY, PURPOSE AND PROCESSES The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in oversight and monitoring of (1) the accounting and reporting policies, processes and practices, and the audits of the financial statements, of the Funds; (2) the quality and integrity of the financial statements of the Funds; (3) the Funds' compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (4) the independent auditors' qualifications, performance and independence; and (5) oversight of the Pricing Procedures of the Funds and the Valuation Group. In exercising this oversight, the Audit Committee can request other committees of the Board to assume responsibility for some of the monitoring as long as the other committees are composed exclusively of independent directors. In doing so, the Audit Committee shall seek to maintain free and open means of communication among the Directors/Trustees, the independent auditors, the internal auditors and the management of the Funds. The Audit Committee shall meet periodically with Fund management, the Funds' internal auditor, and the Funds' independent auditors, in separate executive sessions. The Audit Committee shall prepare reports of the Audit Committee as required by the Commission to be included in the Fund's annual proxy statements or otherwise. A-1 The Audit Committee shall have the authority and resources in its discretion to retain special legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Audit Committee and to otherwise discharge its responsibilities, including appropriate funding as determined by the Audit Committee for compensation to independent auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for a Fund, compensation to advisers employed by the Audit Committee, and ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties, as determined in its discretion. The Audit Committee may request any officer or employee of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (or its affiliates) (collectively, "Nuveen") or the Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel to attend a meeting of the Audit Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Audit Committee. The Funds' independent auditors and internal auditors shall have unrestricted accessibility at any time to Committee members. RESPONSIBILITIES Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems for accounting, reporting, disclosure and internal control. The independent auditors have the primary responsibility to plan and implement an audit, with proper consideration given to the accounting, reporting and internal controls. Each independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Funds shall report directly to the Audit Committee. The independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee. It is the ultimate responsibility of the Audit Committee to select, appoint, retain, evaluate, oversee and replace any independent auditors and to determine their compensation, subject to ratification of the Board, if required. The Audit Committee responsibilities may not be delegated to any other Committee or the Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for the following: WITH RESPECT TO FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: 1.
