Fair Value Measurements
       
Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a
     
liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for
     
the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize
     
the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure
     
purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or
     
liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting
     
entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market
     
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information
     
available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation
     
input levels.
       
         
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for
     
identical securities.
       
Level 2 – Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
     
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
       
Level 3 – Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management’s
       
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
       
         
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with
     
investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the Fund’s fair value measurements as of the
     
end of the reporting period:

The Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds’ pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser’s dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.
 
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer’s financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts’ research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.
 
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.
 
Income Tax Information
 
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset value of the Fund.
