Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Investors have many reasons to remain cautious. The challenges in the Euro area are casting a shadow over global economies and financial markets. The political support for addressing fiscal issues is eroding as the economic and social impacts become more visible. At the same time, member nations appear unwilling to provide adequate financial support or to surrender sufficient sovereignty to strengthen the banks or unify the Euro area financial system. The gains made in reducing deficits, and the hard-won progress on winning popular acceptance of the need for economic austerity, are at risk. To their credit, European political leaders press on to find compromise solutions, but there is increasing concern that time will begin to run out.

In the U.S., strong corporate earnings have enabled the equity markets to withstand much of the downward pressures coming from weakening job creation, slower economic growth and political uncertainty. The Fed remains committed to low interest rates but has refrained from predicting another program of quantitative easing unless economic growth were to weaken significantly or the threat of recession appears on the horizon. Pre-election maneuvering has added to the already highly partisan atmosphere in the Congress. The end of the Bush-era tax cuts and implementation of the spending restrictions of the Budget Control Act of 2011, both scheduled to take place at year-end, loom closer.

During the last year, U.S. based investors have experienced a sharp decline and a strong recovery in the equity markets. The experienced investment teams at Nuveen keep their eye on a longer time horizon and use their practiced investment disciplines to negotiate through market peaks and valleys to achieve long-term goals for investors. Experienced professionals pursue investments that will weather short-term volatility and at the same time, seek opportunities that are created by markets that overreact to negative developments. Monitoring this process is an important consideration for the Fund Board as it oversees your Nuveen Fund on your behalf.

As always, I encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (GCF)
Nuveen Global Government Enhanced Income Fund (JGG)
Nuveen Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income Fund (JGT)

These Funds are managed by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Steve Lee, CFA, and Timothy Palmer, CFA, manage the Funds. Steve has more than 15 years of industry experience and Timothy has more than 25 years of experience. Here they discuss their management strategy and the performance of the Funds during the six-month period ending June 30, 2012.

What key strategies were used to manage the Funds during this six-month reporting period?

GCF seeks to provide current income while also seeking total returns. The Fund is comprised of a portfolio of investments that provides long and short exposure to selected foreign currencies. The Fund seeks to gain exposure to these foreign currencies by investing in short-term foreign sovereign debt and other instruments that provide foreign currency exposure. The currencies are selected based on our global economic outlook and fundamental analysis. We look at factors such as trading liquidity, as well as political and economic factors to eliminate currencies we believe to be too volatile or otherwise undesirable for investment at that time.

The Fund may buy or sell foreign sovereign debt securities, or may use currency contracts that provide similar exposure. In addition, the Fund seeks to improve the Fund's risk-adjusted returns by helping to reduce exposure to specific currencies when it appears, in our opinion, that market conditions or trends will cause their value to decline significantly.

JGG seeks to provide a high level of current income and gains, as well as capital preservation. The Fund invests in global government debt securities directly or indirectly by investing in debt related derivative instruments. These derivative instruments include interest rate swaps, total return swaps, bond futures and contracts to purchase government debt securities on a forward basis. At least 80% of the debt will be hedged to the U.S. dollar and up to 30% may be invested in emerging market government securities. The Fund also features a foreign currency strategy that seeks to take long positions in countries with higher yielding government debt and short positions in countries with lower yielding debt. This strategy may potentially create the economic effect of financial leverage.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares.

For additional information, see the Performance Overview page for your Fund in this report.

* Six-month returns are cumulative; all other returns are annualized.

** Since inception returns for GCF and its comparative index are from 4/28/06; since inception returns for JGG and its comparative index are from 6/27/06; since inception returns for JGT and its comparative index are from 4/25/07.

*** Refer to Glossary of Terms Used in this Report for definitions. Indexes are not available for direct investment.

JGT seeks to provide the potential for an attractive level of current income and total return. The Fund invests directly and indirectly in a portfolio of short-term international government securities with approximately 50% denominated in unhedged, non-U.S. currencies. Indirect investments in international non-U.S. government securities are made by purchasing forward currency contracts and other derivative instruments that are collateralized by direct investments in U.S. cash equivalents, including U.S. government debt and agency paper. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage.

How did the Funds perform over this period?

The performance of the Funds, as well as comparative indexes, is presented in the accompanying table.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, all three funds outperformed their respective index. It should be noted that while each of these Funds focuses to a large degree on managing foreign government debt and currency exposures, none of these Funds are designed for close comparison to a particular measure of market performance.

GCF's currency strategy which invests in a basket of high yielding currencies and shorts a basket of low yielding currencies was well positioned given the improvement in global economic and market conditions during the first quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2012, proved to be difficult for risk assets as a broad slowdown in global growth together with renewed political discord and sovereign funding pressures in Europe negatively impacted the markets. Europe slowed into recession, and concerns over developing economic growth mounted. These dynamics resulted in a renewed investor risk aversion and sparked another flight to quality episode. GCF's outperformance was mainly due to the positive performance of its currency carry strategy, buying currencies expected to appreciate and selling currencies expected to depreciate, as well as the weakness of the U.S. dollar during the first half of the reporting period. Overall, the Fund benefited from its long positions in the Turkish lira, Chilean peso and the Brazilian real dollar and its short position in the Euro and Japanese yen, while short positions in the British pound and Philippine peso detracted from performance.

During the reporting period, the JGG's fixed income positions outperformed the Citigroup Index. The Fund's long fixed income positions in New Zealand, Mexico and South Africa positively contributed to performance. Our underweight interest rate exposures in

Japan and Italy detracted from performance. From a currency perspective, our long positions in the Turkish lira, Mexican peso and Colombian peso and short position in the Japanese yen contributed positively, while short positions in the British pound detracted.

During this period, JGG held positions in interest rate swaps, receiving and paying a fixed rate of interest at various points of the yield curve in different countries. These transactions were designed to benefit from potential relative interest rate moves, and the shapes of the yield curves, in a variety of countries. Treasury futures were also utilized to manage U.S. interest rate exposure.

JGT's outperformance was mainly due to the weakness of the U.S. dollar during the first quarter of 2012. During the first half of the reporting period, we maintained a significant overweight position in currencies with competitive economies and strong fiscal positions. The second quarter of 2012 realized an increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar, especially as compared to high-beta emerging market currencies. These currencies sold off significantly in May 2012, when the financial markets were under stress. The Fund's long positions in the Turkish lira, Mexican peso and Brazilian real, as well as underweight in the Japanese yen, contributed to the Fund's outperformance, The Fund's long positions in the Indian rupee and British pound detracted from performance.

JGT also purchased short term call options on the Turkish lira, sold put options on the Turkish lira with higher strikes and reduced FX forward positions to rebalance the net currency exposure to the Turkish lira. These option transactions would benefit from currency appreciation. We exercised these options as they expired in-the-money.

In both JGG and JGT, foreign currency exchange contracts were used both to reduce risk and to take active currency exposures. Currency forward contracts were used to reduce risk by hedging the foreign currency risk associated with the Fund's foreign debt investments. The Funds also actively managed the currency exposures through currency forwards in an attempt to benefit from the potential appreciation.

Investment Policy and Name Changes for JGG

On August 1, 2012 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), JGG's Board of Trustees approved repositioning the Fund and changing its investment policies to feature a multi-sector, global bond strategy. JGG's investment objective of high current income with a secondary objective of seeking capital preservation will remain unchanged. The Board of Trustees also approved changing the Fund's name to Nuveen Global Income Opportunities Fund. Shareholders received written notice of these changes, which will become effective on October 10, 2012.

Fund Reorganization and Name Change for JGT

On August 1, 2012 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), GCF's and JGT's Board of Directors/Trustees approved a plan to reposition JGT's portfolio and subsequently to merge GCF into JGT. The Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees also approved changing JGT's name to Nuveen Diversified Currency Opportunities Fund. The portfolio repositioning and subsequent merger does not require approval from JGT shareholders.

JGT shareholders, however, will receive 60 days advance written notice before the name change is effective and the Fund begins repositioning its portfolio. GCF will hold a special shareholder meeting in the fourth quarter of 2012 on the proposed merger with JGT.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Shares of closed-end funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The following risks are listed in order of priority.

Investment and Market Risk. An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the corporate securities owned by the Funds, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.

Leverage Risk. A Fund's use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund's per share net asset value (NAV), market price, and distributions. Leverage risk can be introduced through regulatory leverage (issuing preferred shares or debt borrowings at the Fund level) or through certain derivative investments held in a Fund's portfolio. Leverage typically magnifies the total return of a Fund's portfolio, whether that return is positive or negative. The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased common share net income, but there is no assurance that a Fund's leveraging strategy will be successful.

Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations. This is particularly true for funds employing a managed distribution program.

Below-Investment Grade Risk. Investments in securities below-investment grade quality are predominantly speculative and subject to greater volatility and risk of default.

Non-U.S. Securities Risk. Investments in non-U.S securities involve special risks not typically associated with domestic investments including currency risk and adverse political, social and economic development. These risks often are magnified in emerging markets.

Call Risk or Prepayment Risk. Issuers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Funds to reinvest in lower-yielding securities.

Derivatives Strategy Risk. Derivative securities, such as calls, puts, warrants, swaps and forwards, carry risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with the underlying investments.

Issuer Credit Risk. This is the risk that a security in a Fund's portfolios will fail to make dividend or interest payments when due.

Nuveen Investments
8

Interest Rate Risk. Fixed-income securities such as bonds, preferred, convertible and other debt securities will decline in value if market interest rates rise.

Currency Risk. Changes in exchange rates will affect the value of a Fund's investments.

Counterparty Risk. To the extent that a Fund's derivative investments are purchased or sold in over-the-counter transactions, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that counter- parties to these transactions will be unable to meet their obligations.

Interest Rate Swaps Risk. The risk that yields will move in the direction opposite to the direction anticipated by a Fund, which would cause a Fund to make payments to its counterparty in the transaction that could adversely affect the Fund's performance.

Forward Currency Contracts Risk. Forward currency contracts are not standardized and are substantially unregulated. Principals are not required to continue to make markets in the securities or currencies they trade and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity, sometimes of significant duration. In addition, trading forward currency contracts can have the effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure.

Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund's portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.

Potential New Regulatory Burden Risk. The Funds are presently exempt from regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). However, the CFTC has recently adopted amendments to its rules, which, upon their compliance dates, may subject the Funds to regulation by the CFTC and impose on them additional disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations. Compliance with these additional obligations may increase Fund expenses. Certain of the rules that would apply to the Funds if they become subject to CFTC regulation have not yet been adopted, and it is unclear what effect such rules would have on the Funds if they are adopted.

Share Distribution and
Price Information

Distribution Information

The following information regarding each Fund's distributions is current as of June 30, 2012, and likely will vary over time based on the Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.

During the six-month reporting period, the quarterly distribution for GCF remained stable. JGG reduced its quarterly distribution to shareholders during June. JGT reduced its quarterly distribution to shareholders during June. Some of the important factors affecting the amount and composition of these distributions are summarized below.

Each Fund has a managed distribution program. The goal of this program is to provide shareholders with relatively consistent and predictable cash flow by systematically converting the Fund's expected long-term return potential into regular distributions. As a result, regular 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 a managed distribution program are:

• Each Fund seeks to establish a relatively stable 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 a Fund's past or future investment performance from its current distribution rate.

• Actual returns will differ from projected long-term returns (and therefore a Fund's 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 a Fund's capital. When a Fund's returns exceed distributions, it may represent portfolio gains generated, but not realized as a taxable capital gain. In periods when the Fund's returns fall short of distributions, the shortfall will represent a portion of the distribution as a return of your original principal, unless the shortfall is offset during other time periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent) when the Fund's total return exceeds distributions.

Nuveen Investments

**** JGT elected to retain a portion of its realized long-term capital gains for the tax year ended December 31, 2007, and pay required federal corporate income taxes on this amount. As reported on Form 2439, 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 shareholders on record date of these tax credits/refunds. The Fund had no retained capital gains for the tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2008.

• Because distribution source estimates are updated during the year based on a Fund's performance and forecast for its current fiscal year (which is the calendar year for each 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 Fund's 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 each Fund's distributions and total return performance for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This information is provided on a tax basis rather than a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. This information is intended to help you better understand whether the Fund's returns for the specified time period were sufficient to meet each Fund's distributions.

(c) • 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 may take 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 Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in net asset value, reinvested divided 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 Fund's 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.

• For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, and prior, Global Income & Currency's (GCF) Total Returns Based on Market Value and Net Asset Value reflect the performance of the Fund based on a calculation approved by Fund management of IQ Investment Advisers, LLC, the Fund's previous investment adviser. Total returns based on the calculations described above may have produced substantially different results. Total returns are not annualized.

• Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) 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, 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 shareholders on record date of these tax credits/refunds. The Fund's corresponding Total Returns Based on Market Value and Net Asset Value when these benefits are included are as follows:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies

General Information

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") symbols are Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (GCF), Nuveen Global Government Enhanced Income Fund (JGG) and Nuveen Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income Fund (JGT) (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end registered investment companies. Global Income & Currency (GCF) was organized as a Maryland business trust on August 2, 2005. Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on April 13, 2006 and February 14, 2007, respectively.

Global Income & Currency's (GCF) investment objective is to provide current income while also seeking total returns. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by constructing and actively managing a portfolio of investments that provides long and short exposure to selected foreign currencies. The Fund's portfolio will be comprised of short-term fixed income securities and investments in other instruments that provide long and short exposure to the eligible currencies selected by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the "Sub-Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), using the investment process described in its prospectus. In implementing its investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser begins the investment process by investing all or substantially all of the Fund's assets primarily in short-term debt securities, including, but not limited to, foreign sovereign debt securities, securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities, debt obligations of corporate issuers and other debt securities that the Sub-Adviser believes are appropriate investments for the Fund (the "Debt Securities"). Following its investment in the Debt Securities, the Sub-Adviser generally will make investments in forward contracts and other instruments that provide exposure to selected foreign currencies.

Global Government Enhanced Income's (JGG) primary investment objective is to provide a high level of current income and gains. The Fund's secondary investment objective is to seek capital preservation. The Fund invests in global government debt securities directly, or indirectly by investing in debt-related derivative instruments. These derivative instruments include interest rate swaps, total return swaps, bond futures, and contracts to purchase government debt securities on a forward basis. At least 80% of the debt will be hedged to the U.S. Dollar, and up to 30% may be invested in emerging market government securities. The Fund also features a currency strategy of up to 35% long and 35% short positions, with a target of 25% / 25%. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage. The Adviser will monitor and adjust investments using a propriety risk reduction methodology.

Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income's (JGT) primary investment objective is to provide an attractive level of current income and total return. The Fund will invest directly and indirectly in a portfolio of short-term international government securities. The Fund will invest approximately 50% of its assets directly in international short-term government securities that are denominated in non-U.S. currencies and will not be currency hedged. Indirect investments in international non-U.S. government securities are made by purchasing forward currency contracts and other derivative instruments that offer exposure to the returns of short-term international (non-U.S.) government securities. These contracts are collateralized by direct investments in U.S. cash equivalents, including U.S. government debt and agency paper. This strategy may create the economic effect of financial leverage. The Adviser will monitor and adjust investments using a propriety risk reduction methodology.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").

Investment Valuation

Prices of fixed-income securities, short-term U.S. and international government securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 for fair value measurement purposes. The pricing service establishes a security's fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of

Nuveen Investments
33

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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 obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the net asset value (NAV) of the Funds' shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the New York Stock Exchange is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. If significant market events occur between the time of determination of the closing price of a foreign security on an exchange and the time that the Funds' NAV is determined, or if under the Funds' procedures, the closing price of a foreign security is not deemed to be reliable, the security would be valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.

The value of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or in the absence of such a price, the last traded price. Exchange-traded options and futures contracts are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated mean price and are generally classified as Level 2.

Repurchase agreements are valued at contract amount plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.

Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund's net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security's fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: 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 obligor's credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee.

Refer to Footnote 2—Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. 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 Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Funds' portfolios with a current

Nuveen Investments
34

value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At June 30, 2012, the Funds had no outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Investment Income

Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. In any year when the Funds realize net capital gains, each 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.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds 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 Funds 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 Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

Each Fund makes quarterly cash distributions to shareholders of a stated dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of each Fund's investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a "Managed Distribution Program"). Total distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from each Fund's net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains in the Fund's portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid attributed to net unrealized gains, if any, is distributed from the Fund's assets and is treated by shareholders as a non-taxable distribution ("Return of Capital") for tax purposes. In the event that total distributions during a calendar year exceed a Fund's total return on net asset value, the difference will reduce net asset value per share. If a Fund's 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 is made after the end of the fiscal year and is reflected in the financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.

The actual character of distributions made by the Funds during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

The distributions made by the Funds during the six months ended June 30, 2012, 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. For purposes of calculating "Undistributed (Over-distribution of) net investment income" as of June 30, 2012, 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, 2012, reflect an over-distribution of net investment income.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Each Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds 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 Fund's 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 Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Investment transactions, 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 a Fund and the amounts actually received.

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options purchased, options written and swap contracts are recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency" on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options purchased, options written and swaps are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (deprecation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options purchased, options written and swaps" respectively on the Statement of Operations, when applicable.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

Each Fund that invests in non-dollar denominated securities 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 the Sub-Adviser 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 exchange contracts are valued daily at the forward rate and are recognized as a component of "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 a component of "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, a Fund recognizes the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered and the value at the time it was closed or offset as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts" on the Statement of Operations.

Forward foreign currency exchange 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 exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund's investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency exchange 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 appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to counterparty risk if the counterparty fails to perform as specified in the contract due to financial impairment or other reason.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, Global Income & Currency (GCF) entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts buying currencies expected to appreciate and selling currencies expected to depreciate. Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce risk and to take portfolio positions. The Funds reduce risk by hedging the foreign currency risk associated with the Fund's foreign debt investments. The Funds take portfolio positions through a forward purchase of a foreign currency to benefit from its potential appreciation, or by purchasing one currency and selling another to benefit from their potential movement relative to one another.

The average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2012, were as follows:

				Global Income & Currency (GCF)				Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)				Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)
Average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding*					26				28				41

* The average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on forward foreign currency exchange contract activity.

Futures Contracts

Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in attempt to manage such risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized as "Deposits with brokers for open futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable or payable for "Variation margin on futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract, which is recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into, which is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement in the price of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) invested in Treasury futures to manage U.S. interest rate exposure; benefitting from the potential flattening of the yield curve or from potential changes in the shape of the U.S. government bond yield curve.

The average number of futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2012, was as follows:

				Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)
Average number of futures contracts outstanding*					41

* The average number of futures contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on futures contract activity.

Interest Rate Swaps Contracts

Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to invest in interest rate swap transactions in an attempt to manage such risk. Each Fund uses interest rate swap contracts for purposes of risk reduction or expressing market views. An example of risk reduction would be to synthetically convert certain Fund positions in fixed-rate securities effectively into adjustable rate instruments and thereby shorten the average interest rate reset time and duration of each Fund's portfolio of investments. An example of expressing a market view would be to enter into swaps of different tenors that offset one another in whole or in part (in one case paying the fixed leg, in the other case receiving the fixed leg), in order to benefit if certain changes occur in the slope of the yield curve. Interest rate swap contracts involve each Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay or receive a fixed or floating rate payment in exchange for the counterparty receiving or paying from each Fund a variable rate payment. The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the interest rate swap contract. Interest rate swap contracts do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the

Nuveen Investments
37

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the net amount of interest payments that each Fund is to receive. Interest rate swap positions are valued daily. Each Fund accrues the fixed rate payment expected to be paid or received and the variable rate payment expected to be received or paid on interest rate swap contracts on a daily basis, and recognizes the daily change in the market value of the Fund's contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are recognized as "Interest rate swaps premiums paid and/or received" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments made or received upon entering into the swap agreement are to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreements and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on interest rate swaps (, net)" with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of interest rate swaps." Once periodic payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from interest rate swaps" on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gain or loss recorded upon the termination of interest rate swap contracts. For tax purposes, periodic payments are treated as ordinary income or expense.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) invested in interest rate swaps, receiving and paying a fixed rate of interest at various points of the yield curve in different countries. The Fund's investments in these interest rate swap transactions were designed to benefit from potential relative interest rate moves, and the shapes of the yield curves, in a variety of countries.

The average number of interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2012, were as follows:

				Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)
Average number of interest rate swap contracts outstanding*					9

* The average number of interest rate swap contracts is calculated based on the outstanding contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.

Refer to Footnote 3—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on interest rate swap contract activity.

Options Transactions

Each Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities, futures, swaps ("swaptions") or currencies in an attempt to manage such risk. The purchase of options and/or swaptions involves the risk of loss of all or a part of the cash paid for the options (the premium). The market risk associated with purchasing options and/or swaptions is limited to the premium paid. The counterparty credit risk of purchasing options and/or swaptions, however, needs also to take into account the current value of the option, as this is the performance expected from the counterparty. When a Fund purchases an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as a component of "Options and/or Swaptions purchased, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a Fund writes an option and/or swaption, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of "Options and/or Swaptions written, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option and/or swaption until the option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions purchased during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Options and/or Swaptions purchased" on the Statement of Operations. The changes in the value of options and/or swaptions written during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of Options and/or Swaptions written" on the Statement of Operations. When an option and/or swaption is exercised or expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a

Nuveen Investments
38

closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from Options and/or Swaptions purchased and/or written" on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as a writer of an option and/or swaption, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option and/or swaption. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, each of the Funds purchased short-term call options on currencies (the Brazilian real for Global Income & Currency (GCF) and Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) and the Turkish lira for Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) in an attempt to benefit from an appreciation in the currency, and wrote (sold) higher strike calls/puts on the same currency that would limit the Funds' upside if such appreciation took place. These transactions would therefore benefit from a moderate appreciation in the currency.

The Funds did not purchase or write swaptions during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The average number of options contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2012, were as follows:

Market and Counterparty Credit Risk

In the normal course of business each 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 each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund's 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, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Each 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 each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds 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 pre-determined threshold amount.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is each Fund's 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 counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.

Due from Broker

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("Lehman") filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in U.S. Federal Court. A number of Lehman subsidiaries have subsequently filed bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceedings in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Lehman's bankruptcy caused the Funds to terminate their outstanding Lehman derivative positions and

Nuveen Investments
39

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

quantify such exposures. The Funds have filed claims in the relevant Lehman bankruptcy proceedings, as appropriate. The Funds' net exposure, after application of available offsets, is expected to be modest.

In conjunction with quantifying exposure to such Lehman transactions, the Funds discounted the net gains on their outstanding Lehman derivative contracts prior to their scheduled settlement dates by an amount the Adviser believed to be the Funds' expected loss rate in seeking recovery in bankruptcy. This discounted value is recognized as "net of amounts uncollectible of" the component of "Due from broker" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG) also has an outstanding trade receivable in the amount of $871,186 from Lehman, which is recognized as a component of "Due from Broker" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund's Adviser has agreed that to the extent that this asset is not ultimately recovered by the Fund, the Adviser or another party shall reimburse the Fund for this asset. The Fund's custodian has also agreed to waive any overdraft charges resulting from this receivable. As the receivable is an offset of the overdraft noted on the Fund's accounting records and recognized as a component of "Cash overdraft" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, there has been no effect on the Fund's net asset value.

Zero Coupon Securities

Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.

Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's 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 a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter 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 Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds 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.).

Nuveen Investments

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 each 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.

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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.

3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which the Funds were invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolios of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1—General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables present the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Funds as of June 30, 2012, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

6. 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 amortization of premium, recognition of unrealized gain or loss for tax (mark-to-market) for certain foreign currency contracts, 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 as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

At June 30, 2012, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

	Global Income & Currency (GCF)			Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)			Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)
Cost of investments	$	76,893,637		$	132,961,126		$	643,311,104
Gross unrealized:
Appreciation	$	1,119		$	2,222,375		$	303,073
Depreciation		(2,719,224	)		(2,437,326	)		(28,731,103	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	(2,718,105	)	$	(214,951	)	$	(28,428,030	)

Permanent differences, primarily due to foreign currency reclasses, tax basis earning and profits adjustments, and distribution reclasses, resulted in reclassifications among the Funds' components of net assets at December 31, 2011, the Funds' last tax year end, as follows:

	Global Income & Currency (GCF)			Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)			Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Each Fund's management fee consists of two components—a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund's shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Average Daily Managed Assets*	Fund-Level Fee Rate
For the first $500 million		.7000	%
For the next $500 million		.6750
For the next $500 million		.6500
For the next $500 million		.6250
For managed assets over $2 billion		.6000

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level*	Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$ 55 billion		.2000	%
$ 56 billion		.1996
$ 57 billion		.1989
$ 60 billion		.1961
$ 63 billion		.1931
$ 66 billion		.1900
$ 71 billion		.1851
$ 76 billion		.1806
$ 80 billion		.1773
$ 91 billion		.1691
$ 125 billion		.1599
$ 200 billion		.1505
$ 250 billion		.1469
$ 300 billion		.1445

* For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund 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 certain 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 a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen Funds that constitute "eligible assets." Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds or assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser's assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the complex-level fee rate for these Funds was .1731%.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund's overall investment strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with the Sub-Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.

The Adviser has agreed to reimburse fees and expenses of Global Income & Currency (GCF) so that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.22% through August 1, 2012, of the Fund's average daily Managed Assets. The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse any fees and expenses of Global Income and Currency (GCF) beyond August 1, 2012.

The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its directors/trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has

Nuveen Investments
47

Notes to

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors/trustees that enables directors/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.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 ("ASU No. 2011-11") to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting ("netting") on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This information will enable users of the entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the entity's financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statements amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

9. Subsequent Events

Investment Policy and Name Changes for Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)

On August 1, 2012 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)'s Board of Trustees approved repositioning the Fund and changing its investment policies to feature a multi-sector, global bond strategy. Global Government Enhanced Income (JGG)'s investment objective of high current income with a secondary objective of seeking capital preservation will remain unchanged. The Board of Trustees also approved changing the Fund's name to Nuveen Global Income Opportunities Fund. Shareholders received written notice of these changes, which will become effective on October 10, 2012.

Fund Reorganization and Name Change for Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)

On August 1, 2012 (subsequent to the close of this reporting period), Global Income & Currency (GCF)'s and Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)'s Board of Directors/Trustees approved a plan to reposition Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)'s portfolio and subsequently to merge Global Income & Currency (GCF) into Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT). The Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees also approved changing Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT)'s name to Nuveen Diversified Currency Opportunities Fund. The portfolio repositioning and subsequent merger does not require approval from Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) shareholders. Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT) shareholders, however, will receive 60 days advance written notice before the name change is effective and the Fund begins repositioning its portfolio. Global Income & Currency (GCF) will hold a special shareholder meeting in the fourth quarter of 2012 on the proposed merger with Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income (JGT).

Annual Investment Management
Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each, a "Board" and each Trustee or Director, a "Board Member" ) of the Funds, including the Board Members who are not parties to the Funds' advisory or sub-advisory agreements or "interested persons" of any such parties (the "Independent Board Members" ), is responsible for approving the advisory agreements (each, an "Investment Management Agreement" ) between each Fund and Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor" ) and the sub-advisory agreements (each, a "Sub-Advisory Agreement" ) between the Advisor and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (the "Sub-Advisor" ) (the Investment Management Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to collectively as the "Advisory Agreements" ) and their periodic continuation. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act" ), the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements on an annual basis. Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on May 21-23, 2012 (the "May Meeting" ), the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for the Funds for an additional one-year period.

In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Funds, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor (the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor are collectively, the "Fund Advisers" and each, a "Fund Adviser" ). As described in more detail below, the information provided included, among other things, a review of Fund performance, including Fund investment performance assessments against peer groups and appropriate benchmarks, a comparison of Fund fees and expenses relative to peers, a description and assessment of shareholder service levels for the Funds, a summary of the performance of certain service providers, a review of product initiatives and shareholder communications and an analysis of the Advisor's profitability with comparisons to comparable peers in the managed fund business. As part of their annual review, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 18-19, 2012, to review the Funds' investment performance and consider an analysis provided by the Advisor of the Sub-Advisor which generally evaluated the Sub-Advisor's investment team, investment mandate, organizational structure and history, investment philosophy and process, performance of the applicable Fund, and significant changes to the foregoing. As a result of their review of the materials and discussions, the Board presented the Advisor with questions and the Advisor responded.

The materials and information prepared in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreements supplement the information and analysis provided to the Board during the year. In this regard, throughout the year, the Board, acting directly or through

Nuveen Investments
49

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

its committees, regularly reviews the performance and various services provided by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. The Board meets at least quarterly as well as at other times as the need arises. At its quarterly meetings, the Board reviews reports by the Advisor which include, among other things, Fund performance, a review of the investment teams and reports on compliance, regulatory matters and risk management. The Board also meets with key investment personnel managing the Fund portfolios during the year. In October 2011, the Board also created two new standing committees (the Open-end Fund Committee and the Closed-end Fund Committee) to assist the full Board in monitoring and gaining a deeper insight into the distinctive issues and business practices of open-end and closed-end funds.

In addition, the Board continues its program of seeking to have the Board Members or a subset thereof visit each sub-advisor to the Nuveen funds at least once over a multiple year rotation, meeting with key investment and business personnel. Further, an ad hoc committee of the Board visited the then-current transfer agents of the Nuveen funds in 2011 and the audit committee of the Board visited the various pricing agents for the Nuveen funds in January 2012.

The Board considers factors and information that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements at the meetings held throughout the year. Accordingly, the Board considers the information provided and knowledge gained at these meetings when performing its annual review of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Board Members are assisted throughout the process by independent legal counsel who provided materials describing applicable law and the duties of directors or trustees in reviewing advisory contracts and met with the Independent Board Members in executive sessions without management present. In addition, it is important to recognize that the management arrangements for the Nuveen funds are the result of many years of review and discussion between the Independent Board Members and fund management and that the Board Members' conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of fee arrangements and other factors developed in previous years.

The Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Fund Advisers, (b) the investment performance of the Fund and Fund Advisers, (c) the advisory fees and costs of the services to be provided to the Fund and the profitability of the Fund Advisers, (d) the extent of any economies of scale, (e) any benefits derived by the Fund Advisers from the relationship with the Fund and (f) other factors. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund's 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 Adviser's services, including

Nuveen Investments
50

advisory services and the resulting Fund performance and administrative services. The Independent Board Members further considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Advisor's integrity and the Advisor's responsiveness to questions and concerns raised by them. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser's organization and business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line.

In considering advisory services, the Board recognized that the Advisor provides various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services for the Funds and the Sub-Advisor generally provides the portfolio investment management services to the Funds. In reviewing the portfolio management services provided to each Fund, the Board reviewed the materials provided by the Nuveen Investment Services Oversight Team analyzing, among other things, the Sub-Advisor's investment team and changes thereto, organization and history, assets under management, Fund objectives and mandate, the investment team's philosophy and strategies in managing the Fund, developments affecting the Sub-Advisor or Fund and Fund performance. The Independent Board Members also reviewed portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate each Fund Adviser's ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an inappropriate incentive to take undue risks. In addition, the Board considered the Advisor's execution of its oversight responsibilities over the Sub-Advisor. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen's compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures; the resources dedicated to compliance; and the record of compliance with the policies and procedures.

In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the quality and extent of administrative and other non-investment advisory services the Advisor and its affiliates provide to the Funds, including product management, investment services (such as oversight of investment policies and procedures, risk management, and pricing), fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services and communications, administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance, legal support, managing leverage and promoting an orderly secondary market for common shares. The Board further recognized Nuveen's additional investments in personnel, including in compliance and risk management.

In reviewing the services provided, the Board also reviewed materials describing various notable initiatives and projects the Advisor performed in connection with the closed-end fund product line. These initiatives included completion of the refinancing of auction rate preferred securities; efforts to eliminate product overlap with fund mergers; elimination of the insurance mandate on several funds; ongoing services to manage leverage that has become increasingly complex; continued secondary market offerings, share repurchases and other support initiatives for certain funds; and continued communications efforts with shareholders, fund analysts and financial advisers. With respect to the

Nuveen Investments
51

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

latter, the Independent Board Members noted Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a comprehensive secondary market communication program designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. Nuveen's support services included, among other things: continuing communications concerning the refinancing efforts related to auction rate preferred securities; supporting and promoting munifund term preferred shares (MTP) including by launching a microsite dedicated to MTP shares; sponsoring and participating in conferences; communicating with closed-end fund analysts covering the Nuveen funds throughout the year; providing marketing and product updates for the closed-end funds; and maintaining and enhancing a closed-end fund website.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the respective Funds under each applicable Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and Fund Advisers

The Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed and considered the performance history of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund's historic investment performance as well as information comparing the Fund's performance information with that of other funds (the "Performance Peer Group" ) based on data compiled by Nuveen that was provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks ( i.e. , benchmarks derived from multiple recognized benchmarks).

The Board reviewed reports, including a comprehensive analysis of the Funds' performance and the applicable investment team. In this regard, the Board reviewed each Fund's total return information compared to the returns of its Performance Peer Group and recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter, one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2011, as well as performance information reflecting the first quarter of 2012 (or for the periods available for the Nuveen Multi-Currency Short-Term Government Income Fund (the "Multi-Currency Fund" ), which did not exist for part of the foregoing time frame).

The Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and discount levels, including a summary of actions taken to address or discuss other developments affecting the secondary market discounts of various funds. This information supplemented the fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.

In reviewing performance comparison information, the Independent Board Members recognized that the usefulness of the comparisons of the performance of certain funds with the performance of their respective Performance Peer Group may be limited because the Performance Peer Group may not adequately represent the objectives and strategies of the applicable funds or may be limited in size or number. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that the Performance Peer Groups of each of the Funds were classified as having significant differences from such Funds based on various considerations such as special fund objectives, potential investable universe and the

Nuveen Investments
52

composition of the peer set ( e.g. , the number and size of competing funds and number of competing managers). The Independent Board Members also noted that the investment experience of a particular shareholder in the Nuveen funds will vary depending on when such shareholder invests in the applicable fund, the class held (if multiple classes are offered in a fund) and the performance of the fund (or respective class) during that shareholder's investment period. In addition, although the performance below reflects the performance results for the time periods ending as of the most recent calendar year end (unless otherwise indicated), the Board also recognized that selecting a different ending time period may derive different results. Furthermore, while the Board is cognizant of the relevant performance of a fund's peer set and/or benchmark(s), the Board evaluated fund performance in light of the respective fund's investment objectives, investment parameters and guidelines and recognized that the objectives, investment parameters and guidelines of peers and/or benchmarks may differ to some extent, thereby resulting in differences in performance results.

As noted above, each of the Funds had significant differences from its Performance Peer Group. Therefore, the Independent Board Members considered the Funds' performance compared to their benchmarks. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that the Nuveen Global Government Enhanced Income Fund (the "Global Government Fund" ) and the Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (the "Global Income & Currency Fund" ) underperformed their benchmarks in the one-year period, but outperformed their benchmarks in the three-year period and first quarter of 2012. The Multi-Currency Fund underperformed its benchmark for the one-year period, but provided comparable performance to its benchmark in the three-year period and outperformed its benchmark for the first quarter of 2012. With respect to any Nuveen funds that the Board considers to have underperformed their peers and/or benchmarks from time to time, the Board monitors such funds closely and considers any steps necessary or appropriate to address such issues.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance had been satisfactory.

C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability

1. Fees and Expenses

The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of funds provided by an independent fund data provider (the "Peer Universe" ) and any expense limitations.

The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe. 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 limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe (including the inclusion of other Nuveen funds in the peer set); expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe from year to year; levels of reimbursement or fee waivers; the timing of information used; and the

Nuveen Investments
53

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

differences in the type and use of leverage may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting somewhat the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers.

In reviewing the fee schedule for a 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). In reviewing fees and expenses (excluding leverage costs and leveraged assets), the Board considered the expenses and fees to be higher if they were over 10 basis points higher, slightly higher if they were approximately 6 to 10 basis points higher, in line if they were within approximately 5 basis points higher than the peer average and below if they were below the peer average of the Peer Universe. In reviewing the reports, the Board noted that the overwhelming majority of the Nuveen funds were at, close to or below their peer set average based on the net total expense ratio.

The Independent Board Members observed that the Global Government Fund and the Multi-Currency Fund each had net management fees and net expense ratios (including fee waivers and expense reimbursements, if any) in line with their peer averages. With respect to the Global Income & Currency Fund, the Board recognized that although such Fund's net expenses were slightly higher than those of its Peer Universe, its net management fees were in line with the peer average.

Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to it.

2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients

The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and range of fees offered by the Advisor to other clients, including separately managed accounts (both retail and institutional accounts), collective trusts, foreign investment funds offered by Nuveen, and funds that are not offered by Nuveen but are sub-advised by one of Nuveen's investment management teams. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds 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 Funds. 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 Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the various products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.

In considering the fees of the Sub-Advisor, the Independent Board Members also considered the pricing schedule or fees that the Sub-Advisor charges for similar

Nuveen Investments
54

investment management services for other Nuveen funds, funds of other sponsors (if any), and other clients (such as retail and/or institutional managed accounts).

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 and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities for the last two calendar 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 2011. 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 have an Independent Board Member serve 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 Nuveen's revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with comparable assets under management (based on asset size and asset composition).

In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the Advisor's continued investment in its business to enhance its services, including capital improvements to investment technology, updated compliance systems, and additional personnel in compliance, risk management, and product development as well as its ability to allocate resources to various areas of the Advisor as the need arises. In addition, in evaluating profitability, the Independent Board Members also 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 adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's investment in its fund business. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the Advisor's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided.

With respect to sub-advisers affiliated with Nuveen, including the Sub-Advisor, the Independent Board Members reviewed the sub-adviser's revenues, expenses and profitability margins (pre- and post-tax) for its advisory activities and the methodology used for allocating expenses among the internal sub-advisers. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members were satisfied that the Sub-Advisor's level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided.

Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)

In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to a Fund Adviser by the Funds 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 Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information on indirect benefits a Fund Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective 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. Further, 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.

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 are generally 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 Nuveen's 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. In addition, with the acquisition of the funds previously advised by FAF Advisors, Inc., the Board noted that a portion of such funds' assets at the time of acquisition were deemed eligible to be included in the complex-wide fee calculation in order to deliver fee savings to shareholders in the combined complex and such funds were subject to differing complex-level fee rates.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.

E. Indirect Benefits

In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits the respective Fund Adviser or its

Nuveen Investments
56

affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any revenues received by affiliates of the Advisor for serving as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds as well as revenues received in connection with secondary offerings.

In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Fund Advisers received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The Independent Board Members recognized that each Fund Adviser has the authority to pay a higher commission in return for brokerage and research services if it determines in good faith that the commission paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided and may benefit from such soft dollar arrangements. Similarly, the Board recognized that the research received pursuant to soft dollar arrangements by a Fund Adviser may also benefit a Fund and shareholders to the extent the research enhances the ability of the Fund Adviser to manage the Fund. The Independent Board Members noted that the Fund Advisers' profitability may be somewhat lower if they did not receive the research services pursuant to the soft dollar arrangements and had to acquire such services directly.

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 Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

F. Other Considerations

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 each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund and that the 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 Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of compounding. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on 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 quarter you'll receive a statement showing your total 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 Fund's 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. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on 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 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

Nuveen Investments
58

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.

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 financial 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.
