NUVEEN INVESTMENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2008

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the “Company,” or “we,” or “our”), its majority-owned subsidiaries, and certain funds which we are required to consolidate (as further discussed in Note 10, “Consolidated Funds,” in the Company’s March 31, 2008 year-end financial statement filing on Form 8-K), and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s March 31, 2008 year-end financial statement filing on Form 8-K.

As more fully discussed in Note 1, “Acquisition of the Company,” in the Company’s March 31, 2008 year-end financial statement filing on Form 8-K, Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the “Predecessor”) was acquired by a group of private equity investors led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC (“MDP”) in a merger and related transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”). The Transactions closed on November 13, 2007.

Financial results presented for periods prior to November 13, 2007 represent operations of the Predecessor. Financial results presented from November 14, 2007 forward represent operations of the company surviving the MDP-led buyout (the “Successor”). As a result of the MDP-led buyout and the application of purchase accounting as of November 13, 2007, the consolidated financial statements for the period after November 13, 2007 (the Successor period) are presented on a different basis than that for periods prior to November 13, 2007 (the Predecessor period) and therefore are not comparable.

These financial statements rely, in part, on estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) have been reflected for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. The results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 2 SFAS No. 157 — Fair Value Measurements

On September 15, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 permits delayed adoption of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities, which are not recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, until fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As permitted by FSP 157-2, the Company has elected to delay the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for qualifying non-financial assets and liabilities, such as property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. The Company is

in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, that the application of SFAS No. 157 to its non-financial assets will have on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

SFAS No. 157 itself does not require that fair value be applied to specific items; it merely clarifies how to value items that must be measured at fair value.

SFAS No. 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities by defining fair value, establishing a framework for measuring fair value, and expanding disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Prior to this standard, methods for measuring fair value were diverse and inconsistent, especially for items that are not actively traded. The standard clarifies that, for items that are not actively traded, such as certain kinds of derivatives, fair value should reflect the price in a transaction with a market participant, including an adjustment for risk, not just the company’s mark-to-market model value. The standard also requires expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data.

Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data (for example, the reporting entity’s own data). SFAS No. 157 requires that fair value measurements be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy in order to distinguish between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Specifically:

	•		Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

	•		Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, through corroboration with observable market data (market-corroborated inputs).

	•		Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability – that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk) developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s fair value measurements at June 30, 2008 (in 000s):

Available-for-Sale Securities and Trading Securities

Approximately $86.3 million of the Company’s available-for-sale securities and all $1.4 million of the Company’s trading securities are classified as Level 1 financial instruments, as they are valued based on unadjusted quoted market prices. The majority of these investments are investments in the Company’s managed accounts and certain product portfolios (seed investments). Approximately $16.7 million of the Company’s available-for-sale investments are considered to be Level 2 financial instruments, as they are valued based on quoted prices in less liquid markets.

As further discussed in Note 8, “Investments in Collateralized Loan and Debt Obligations,” the Company also has $6.4 million invested in collateralized debt obligation entities for which it acts as a collateral manager. This $6.4 million investment is included in “available-for-sale” securities and the Company considers these investments to be Level 3 financial instruments, as the valuations for these investments are based on cash flow estimates and the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk), as developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. At June 30, 2008, the Company also holds $15.4 million in auction rate preferred stock of an unaffiliated issuer. As further discussed in the Company’s March 31, 2008 year-end

financial statement filing on Form 8-K, the auctions for auction rate preferred stock began to fail on a widespread basis in the beginning of 2008. The Company considers these investments as Level 3 financial instruments, as there is currently no liquid market for these investments.

Underlying Investments from Consolidated Vehicle

As further discussed in Note 9, “Symphony CLO V,” the Company is required to consolidate into its financial results an investment vehicle, Symphony CLO V, in which the Company has no equity interest, but for which an affiliate of MDP is the majority equity holder. The underlying investment securities in Symphony CLO V are predominantly syndicated loans whose fair values are derived from broker-quotes. The Company considers these investments to be Level 3 financial instruments.

Other Investments

The Company holds a general partner interest in certain limited partnerships for which one of its subsidiary companies is the advisor. The Company considers these investments to be Level 3 financial instruments, as the fair value of these investments is based on valuation pricing models.

Derivative Financial Instruments

As further discussed in Note 6, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” the Company uses derivative instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates related to its long-term debt and to mitigate the overall market risk for certain recently created product portfolios.

Derivative Instruments Related to Long-Term Debt

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps and an interest rate collar to manage its interest rate risk related to its long-term debt. The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair value of the interest rate collar is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash payments that would occur if variable interest rates fell below the floor strike rate or the cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rose above cap strike rate. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected cash flows on the collar are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.

To comply with the provisions of SFAS No. 157, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives related to long-term debt fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with these derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2008, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of these derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation

of these derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its valuations for derivatives related to its long-term debt in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments Related to Certain Recently Created Product Portfolios

At June 30, 2008, the Company holds futures contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133 in order to mitigate the overall market risk of certain recently created product portfolios. As the valuations for these futures contracts are directly received from the counterparty, the futures arm of a nationally recognized bank, the Company has determined that the valuations for the derivatives related to certain recently created product portfolios are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as all valuations for these derivatives are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Note 3 Net Capital Requirement

Nuveen Investments, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned broker/dealer subsidiary, is subject to SEC Rule 15c3-1, the “Uniform Net Capital Rule,” which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as these terms are defined in the Rule, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At June 30, 2008, Nuveen Investments, LLC’s net capital ratio was 2.78 to 1 and its net capital was approximately $14.2 million, which was $11.6 million in excess of the required net capital of $2.6 million.

Note 4 Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The following table presents a reconciliation of activity in the balance of goodwill from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 presented on our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):


Balance at December 31, 2007	$	3,376,841
MDP Transaction		(9,249	)
Repurchase of NWQ minority interests		23,500
Repurchase of SBAM minority interests		12,327
Repurchase of NWQ, Tradewinds, and Symphony Equity Program interests		24,138

Balance at June 30, 2008	$	3,427,557

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded approximately $9.2 million of an adjustment to goodwill arising from the MDP Transaction and is predominantly due to purchase accounting and the revaluation of the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans.

As discussed in Note 20, “Subsequent Events,” in the Company’s March 31, 2008 year-end financial statement filing on Form 8-K, the Company repurchased various minority interests of certain subsidiaries. As a result of these various repurchase transactions, the Company recorded a total of approximately $60.0 million as goodwill.

The following table presents gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization amounts for the remaining unamortized intangible assets presented on our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (in thousands):


	At June 30, 2008				At December 31, 2007
	Gross				Gross
	Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying		Accumulated
	Amount		Amortization		Amount		Amortization
Trade names	$	273,800	$	-	$	273,800	$	-
Investment contracts – closed end funds		1,551,400		-		1,551,400		-
Investment contracts – mutual funds		1,290,600		-		1,290,600		-

Total	$	4,087,800	$	40,500	$	4,087,800	$	8,100

Of the intangible assets presented above, only one is amortizable – Customer Relationships – Managed Accounts; the estimated approximate useful life of this one amortizable intangible asset is 15 years. The remaining intangible assets presented above are indefinite-lived. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the next five years is approximately $32.4 million for the remaining six months of 2008, and annual amortization of $64.8 million for each of the years 2009 through 2012.

Symphony CLO V subordinated notes		24,208			24,208


Total	$	3,967,519		$	3,968,723

Senior Secured Credit Agreement – Successor

As a result of the Transactions, the Company has a new senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $2.3 billion term loan facility and a $250 million secured revolving credit facility. The Company received approximately $2.3 billion in net proceeds after discounts and underwriting commissions. The net proceeds were used as part of the financing to consummate the Transactions. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no borrowings under the $250 million secured revolving credit facility. All borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 3.0%. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized loan commitments at a rate of 0.3750% per annum. The Company is required to make quarterly payments under the senior term loan facility in the amount of approximately $5.8 million beginning June 30, 2008. The credit agreement permits all or any portion of the loans outstanding to be prepaid.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had $2.3 billion outstanding under the term loan facility. At June 30, 2008, after the first quarterly payment of $5.8 million was made, the Company had approximately $2.3 billion outstanding under the term loan facility.

All obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Windy City Investments Inc. (the “Parent”) and each of our present and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries that are broker dealers). The obligations under the Credit Facility and these guarantees are secured, subject to permitted liens and other specified exceptions, (1) on a first-lien basis, by all the capital stock of Nuveen Investments and certain of its subsidiaries (excluding significant subsidiaries and limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 100% of the non-voting capital stock and 65% of the voting capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries) directly held by Nuveen Investments or any guarantor and (2) on a first lien basis by substantially all present and future assets of Nuveen Investments and each guarantor.

The senior secured term loan matures on November 13, 2014 and the senior secured revolving credit facility matures on November 13, 2013.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of the $2.3 billion term loan facility was approximately $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants, including but not limited to, maximum consolidated total secured leverage, net of certain cash and cash equivalents, and certain other limitations on the Company and certain of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries’ (as defined in the credit agreement) ability to incur additional debt.

Senior Term Notes – Predecessor / Successor

On September 12, 2005, the Predecessor issued $550 million of senior unsecured notes, comprised of $250 million of 5-year notes and $300 million of 10-year notes (“Predecessor senior term notes”), which remain outstanding at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. The Company received approximately $544 million in net proceeds after discounts and other debt issuance costs. The 5-year Predecessor senior term notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 5.0% payable semi-annually beginning March 15, 2006. The 10-year Predecessor senior term notes bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 5.5% payable semi-annually also beginning March 15, 2006. The net proceeds from the Predecessor senior term notes were used to refinance outstanding indebtedness. The costs related to the issuance of the Predecessor senior term notes were capitalized and amortized to expense over their term. At June 30, 2008, the fair value of the 5-year and 10-year Predecessor senior term notes was approximately $238.3 million and $213.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the 5-year and 10-year Predecessor senior term notes was approximately $229.2 million and $207.9 million, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Notes – Successor

Also in connection with the Transactions, the Company issued $785 million of 10.5% senior unsecured notes (“10.5% senior notes”). The 10.5% senior notes mature on November 15, 2015 and pay a coupon of 10.5% of par value semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2008. The

Company received approximately $758.9 million in net proceeds after underwriting commissions and structuring fees. The net proceeds were used as part of the financing to consummate the Transactions.

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of the $785 million 10.5% senior notes was approximately $726 million and $780 million, respectively.

Obligations under the notes are guaranteed by the Parent and each of our existing, subsequently acquired, and/or organized direct or indirect, domestic, restricted (as defined in the credit agreement) subsidiaries that guarantee the debt under the credit agreement.

Symphony CLO V – Successor

As more fully discussed in Note 10, “Consolidated Funds,” in the Company’s year-end financial statement filing under Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2008, the Company is required to consolidate into its financial results a collateralized loan obligation, Symphony CLO V, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Although the Company does not hold any equity interest in this investment vehicle, an affiliate of MDP is the majority equity holder. The $378.5 million of Notes Payable and $24.2 million of Subordinated Notes reflected in the table, above, reflect debt obligations of Symphony CLO V. All of this debt is collateralized by the assets of Symphony CLO V.

Other

The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary may utilize available, uncommitted lines of credit with no annual facility fees, which approximate $50 million, to satisfy unanticipated, short-term liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, no borrowings were outstanding on these uncommitted lines of credit.

Note 6 Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates related to its long-term debt and to mitigate the overall market risk for certain recently created product portfolios.

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” and further amended by SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (collectively, “SFAS No. 133”), requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that do not meet the SFAS No. 133 criteria for hedge accounting must be adjusted to fair value through earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do meet the hedge accounting criteria under SFAS No. 133 are offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities, with only any “ineffectiveness” (as defined under SFAS No. 133) marked through earnings.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company did not hold any derivatives designated in a formal hedge relationship under the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

Derivative Transactions Related to Financing Part of the Transactions

As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company held nine interest rate swap derivative transactions and one collar derivative that effectively convert $2.3 billion of variable rate debt into fixed-rate borrowings. In addition at June 30, 2008 the Company also held two basis swap derivative transactions with a notional amount of $1.5 billion. These basis swap derivatives effectively lock-in the expected future difference between one-month and three-month LIBOR as the primary reference rate for our variable debt. Collectively, these derivatives are referred to as the “New Debt Derivatives.” As further discussed in Note 5, “Debt,” the Company borrowed $2.3 billion under a variable rate term loan facility and $785.0 million under 10.5%

senior term notes due 2015 to finance part of the Transactions. The Company recorded $0.9 million in unrealized losses and $0.4 million in realized gains related to the New Debt Derivatives in “Other Income/(Expense)” on the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As the New Debt Derivatives did not exist until the fourth quarter of 2007, there were no unrealized gains/losses related to the New Debt Derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the fair value of the New Debt Derivatives is ($32.6 million) and ($31.7 million), respectively, and is reflected in “Fair Value of Open Derivatives” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

Derivative Transactions Related to Certain Recently Created Product Portfolios

The Company entered into swap agreements and futures contracts that have not been designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133 in order to mitigate overall market risk of certain recently created product portfolios. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the net fair value of these open non-hedging derivatives was approximately $18,000 and $17,000, respectively, and is reflected in “Other Assets” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded approximately $0.1 million of net losses related to these derivatives, comprised of approximately $0.2 million in unrealized gains and $0.3 million in realized losses, both of which are reflected in “Other Income/(Expense)” on the accompanying consolidated statement of income for that period. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million of net losses related to these derivatives, comprised of $0.5 million in unrealized losses and $0.2 million in realized gains, both of which are reflected in “Other Income/(Expense)” on the accompanying consolidated statement of income for that period.

Total	$	688,714		$	510,952	$	1,074,468		$	349,352

As of June 30, 2008 the Company has approximately $18.5 million recorded on its balance sheet as obligations for its pension and post-retirement plans. During 2008, the Company expects to contribute approximately $0.5 million to its excess pension plan. The Company does not expect to make any contributions to its qualified pension plan. In addition, the Company expects to contribute $0.6 million, net of expected Medicare Part D reimbursements, for benefit payments to its post-retirement benefit plan during 2008. For the first six months of 2008, the Company has paid out approximately $0.3 million in post-retirement benefits.

Note 8 Investments in Collateralized Loan and Debt Obligations

The Company holds an investment in two collateralized debt obligation entities for which it acts as a collateral manager, Symphony CLO I, Ltd. (“CLO”) and the Symphony Credit Opportunities Fund Ltd. (“CDO”), pursuant to collateral management agreements between the Company and each of the CLO and the CDO entities. At June 30, 2008, combined assets under management in the collateral pools of the CLO and CDO were approximately $836.5 million. The Company had combined minority equity investments of $6.4 million and $9.8 million in the CLO and CDO as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The Company accounts for its investments in the CLO and CDO under EITF 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” The excess of future cash flows over the initial investment at the date of purchase is recognized as interest income over the life of the investment using the effective yield method. The Company reviews cash flow estimates throughout the life of the CLO and CDO investment pool to determine whether an impairment of its equity investments should be recognized. Cash flow estimates are based on the underlying pool of collateral securities and take into account the overall credit quality of the issuers in the collateral securities, the forecasted default rate of the collateral securities and the Company’s past experience in managing similar securities. If an updated estimate of future cash flows (taking into account both timing and amounts) is less than the revised estimate, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its fair value. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has determined that no impairment of its equity investments exists. The Company has recorded its equity interest in the CLO and CDO in Investments on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Fair value is determined using current information, notably market yields and projected cash flows based on forecasted default and recovery rates that a market participant would use in determining the current fair value of the equity interest. Market yields, default rates and recovery rates used in the Company’s estimate of fair

value vary based on the nature of the investments in the underlying collateral pools. In the periods of rising credit default rates and lower debt recovery rates, the fair value, and therefore the carrying value, of the Company’s investments in the CLO and CDO may be adversely affected. The Company’s risk of loss in the CLO and CDO is limited to the $6.4 million that remains invested in these entities at June 30, 2008.

Note 9 Symphony CLO V

As further discussed in Note 10, “Consolidated Funds,” in the Company’s March 31, 2008 year-end financial statement filing on Form 8-K, the Company is required to consolidate into its financial results an investment vehicle, Symphony CLO V, in which the Company has no equity interest, but for which an affiliate of MDP is the majority equity holder.

As the Company has no equity interest in Symphony CLO V, all gains and losses recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2008 are attributable to other investors. The Company recorded $23.2 million of “Minority Interest Revenue from Consolidated Vehicle” on the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to reflect the net loss of Symphony CLO V which belongs entirely to the minority owners. As the requirement to consolidate did not exist until the fourth quarter of 2007, there was no minority interest revenue from the consolidated vehicle for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, total assets of Symphony CLO V approximated $413.6 million and total liabilities approximated $444.3 million. At December 31, 2007, total assets of Symphony CLO V approximated $463.3 million and total liabilities approximated $470.7 million.

The following table presents a condensed summary of the assets and liabilities for Symphony CLO V that have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2008:

Note 10 Financial Information Related to Guarantor Subsidiaries

As discussed in Note 5, “Debt,” obligations under the senior notes due 2015 are guaranteed by the Parent and each of our present and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries that are broker dealers). The obligations under the Credit Facility and these guarantees are secured, subject to permitted liens and other specified exceptions, (1) on a first-lien basis, by all the capital stock of Nuveen Investments and certain of its subsidiaries (excluding significant subsidiaries and limited, in the case of foreign subsidiaries, to 100% of the non-voting capital stock and 65% of the voting capital stock of the first tier foreign subsidiaries) directly held by Nuveen Investments

and any guarantor and (2) on a first lien basis by substantially all present and future assets of Nuveen Investments and each guarantor.

The following tables present consolidating supplementary financial information for the issuer of the notes (Nuveen Investments, Inc.), the issuer’s domestic guarantor subsidiaries, and the non-guarantor subsidiaries together with eliminations as of and for the periods indicated. The issuer’s Parent is also a guarantor of the notes. The Parent was a newly formed entity with no assets, liabilities or operations prior to the completion of the Transactions on November 13, 2007. Separate complete financial statements of the respective guarantors would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of the guarantors.
