           NUVEEN INVESTMENTS DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY DIVIDEND AND
                      REPLENISHES SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

CHICAGO, August 9, 2006 - Nuveen Investments, a leading provider of diversified
investment services, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a
regular quarterly dividend on its common shares and approved an increase in the
number of shares authorized for repurchase by the Company.

The Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share on its
common stock. The quarterly dividend will be paid September 15, 2006, to
shareholders of record as of September 1, 2006.

The Board also authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 7 million shares
of the Company's common stock over the next several years. "The new
authorization replenishes our existing program, enabling us to continue a
measured use of our strong cash flows for share repurchases, in part to offset
the dilutive effects of employment-related equity awards over time," said Tim
Schwertfeger, Nuveen Investments Chairman and CEO. "The authorization also
reflects our continued confidence in the firm's prospects for long-term growth
and profitability."

Nuveen Investments provides high-quality investment services designed to help
secure the long-term goals of institutions and high-net-worth investors as well
as the consultants and financial advisors who serve them. Nuveen Investments
markets its highly specialized investment teams, each with its own brand name
and area of expertise: NWQ, specializing in value-style equities; Nuveen,
managing fixed-income investments; Santa Barbara, committed to growth equities;
Tradewinds, specializing in global value equities; Rittenhouse, focused on
"blue-chip" growth equities; and Symphony, with expertise in alternative
investments as well as equity and income portfolios. In total, the Company
manages just over $149 billion in assets. Nuveen Investments is listed on The
New York Stock Exchange and trades under the symbol "JNC."


Certain statements made by the Company in this release are forward-looking
statements. The Company's actual future results may differ significantly from
those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors.
These include, but are not limited to, the effects of the substantial
competition in the investment management business, including competition for
access to brokerage firms' retail distribution systems, the Company's reliance
on revenues from investment management contracts which renew annually,
regulatory developments, accounting pronouncements, and other additional risks
and uncertainties as set forth in the Company's filings with the SEC. The
Company undertakes no responsibility to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements.
