Wealth takes a lifetime to build. Once achieved, it should be preserved.

Dear Shareholder
I am pleased to report to you on the annual performance of your Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Fund. Providing a stable, attractive tax-free dividend is the
Fund's main objective, and over the past year, your Fund continued to achieve
this goal. During the period covered by this report, we have seen some shifts in
the U.S. investment climate and the fixed-income environment in which your
Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund operates. I appreciate the opportunity to review the
current investment environment with you, as does the portfolio manager of your
Fund, who discusses fund performance later in this report.


A CHALLENGING INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
Over the past 12 months, the U.S. economy continued to be characterized by
surprisingly robust growth, benign inflation, and unemployment levels that
remained among the lowest in three decades. However, concerns about the
persistent pace of the economy's expansion continued to test the new paradigm,
which holds that the improvements in productivity achieved through technology
enable us to have both economic growth and low inflation at the same time. With
investors watching and reacting to each announcement concerning economic
statistics, volatility increased, especially in the equity markets, and the
spectre of inflation seemed to lurk behind every report. Especially worrisome to
the Federal Reserve was the possibility that tight labor markets would
eventually have an inflationary effect on wages and, consequently, on consumer
prices.

In an effort to pre-empt this threat of inflation, the Fed moved to raise
interest rates by a quarter-point on three separate occasions between June and
November 1999. This brought the federal funds rate - which represents the amount
banks charge one another on overnight loans, establishing the standard for other
short-term rates - from 4.75% to 5.50%, thereby erasing the three rate cuts
enacted by the Fed a year earlier. At its November meeting, the Fed announced
that it would shift to a neutral stance following the latest interest rate
increase. With Y2K on the horizon, followed by the politics of an election year,
investors had some hope that the Fed would put any additional rate hikes on
hold. However, the Fed's indication that it would renew its close attention to
the rate of economic growth left the door open for another tightening.


MUNICIPAL BOND PERFORMANCE

Over the past year, our exchange-traded municipal bond funds continued to offer
attractive, stable income in a market that places a high premium on yield. At
the end of October 1999, the ratio between long-term municipal yields and
30-year Treasury yields stood at 100.3%, compared with the historical average of
86% for the period 1986-1999. For investors, this meant that quality long-term
municipal bonds offered yields slightly higher than those of long Treasury bonds
- - even before the tax advantages of municipals were taken into account. On an
after-tax basis, municipal bonds continued to present an exceptionally
attractive investment option relative to Treasuries.

During 1999, we have seen the supply of municipal bonds drop off from the
near-record levels of 1998. This was largely due to the increase in interest
rates, which deterred municipal governments from issuing new debt and removed
much of the incentive to refund existing bonds. To date, municipal supply has
declined by approximately 20% from the levels of a year ago. This, in turn, has
enhanced the attractiveness of the municipal bonds that are brought to market,
as demand - especially from individual investors remains strong. We anticipate
that this demand will continue to

<PAGE>

strengthen as investors increasingly look at rebalancing their portfolios. With
the outlook for tighter supply and continued demand in the months ahead,
Nuveen's established market position as the leading sponsor of exchange-traded
municipal bond funds enables us to have excellent access to the bond offerings
that have the potential to add value for our shareholders.


A BALANCED PORTFOLIO:
ENHANCED GROWTH WITH REDUCED RISK
If you are like most investors in the market-place today, your goals for
tax-free investing probably include capturing high after-tax total returns while
moderating risk. To demonstrate the role that municipal bonds can play in
achieving this goal, Nuveen tracked a balanced portfolio consisting of equities
and municipal bonds and compared its hypothetical investment performance - based
on appropriate market indexes and tax rates - with that of a balanced portfolio
composed of equities and taxable bonds.

Our research showed that, over the past 20 years, the pairing of equities with
municipal bonds provided both superior after-tax total returns and lower levels
of risk than the combination of equities and taxable bonds. Incorporating even a
20% allocation of municipal bonds into an all-equity portfolio cut risk
substantially, with only a small reduction in after-tax total return. Purchasing
shares of a Nuveen Exchange-Traded Municipal Bond Fund provides an easy way to
incorporate the benefits of municipal bonds into a balanced portfolio.


NUVEEN FUNDS:
AN ANSWER TO YOUR INVESTMENT NEEDS
In light of the recent shifts in the investment environment, your financial
adviser can serve as a valuable resource in helping you determine if adjustments
are needed in your current asset allocation plan and suggesting investments that
can accomplish this goal. By investing in other Nuveen funds, you can bring
balance to your portfolio and provide proper exposure to the different types of
investments needed to enhance your potential for success. Your adviser can also
set up a reinvestment plan designed to purchase additional shares of your Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Fund. For more information on Nuveen's expanding array of funds,
contact your financial adviser for a prospectus detailing all charges and
expenses, or call Nuveen at (800) 621-7227. Please read the prospectus carefully
before you invest or send money.

THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Since this is my last opportunity to talk with you before we enter the new
millennium, I wanted to take a moment to discuss the status of Nuveen's
preparations for that event. We believe that Nuveen is fully prepared for the
upcoming transition, from an operational as well as an investment perspective.
During 1999, Nuveen tested all critical operating systems, and we anticipate no
problems with year-end processing. As we evaluated potential investments over
the year, Nuveen carefully reviewed the progress of each issuer toward Y2K
compliance. Last summer, we requested information from the issuers of all bonds
in the Funds' portfolios, with special attention to the largest and more
volatile holdings. In the following months, we continued to monitor issuers'
progress in this area, assisted by securities industry oversight organizations,
including the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board and the Securities and
Exchange Commission, as well as rating agencies and insurance companies. Based
on our review, we believe that the majority of issuers are Y2K-compliant. The
diligence of the financial industry as a whole in dealing with this transition
should prove to have ongoing benefits for investors.

Since 1898, Nuveen has been synonymous with investments that stand the test of
time. As we enter the new millennium, we remain committed to maintaining that
reputation and finding the best ways to serve your evolving investment needs.
Thank you for your continued confidence.

Sincerely,

/s/Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Portfolio Managers' Comments
Portfolio managers Tom Futrell, Rick Huber, Bill Fitzgerald, and Steve Peterson
discuss the national municipal market, fund performance, and key investment
strategies for the Nuveen national exchange-traded funds. Tom, Bill, and Steve

WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE
PAST 12 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999?
Over the past year, the U.S. economy continued to forge ahead with few signs of
slowing. Among the statistics showing surprising strength in recent months was
gross domestic product (GDP) growth, which rose 5.5% in the third quarter, well
ahead of projections. The growth in GDP was fueled by rising inventories, an
improved trade balance, and strong consumer spending, which continues to serve
as the main engine powering U.S. economic expansion. Commodity prices,
particularly oil and gold, and raw material prices also continued to rise. For
the most part, however, these increases did not translate into higher consumer
prices. Through the end of October 1999, the Consumer Price Index showed
inflation maintaining its low profile, with an annualized increase of 2.8%.
Labor markets remained among the tightest in 30 years, as the national
unemployment average dropped to 4.1% in October 1999, down from 4.5% in October
1998. Also in October, U.S. personal income surged 1.3%, its biggest jump in
more than five years.

Concerned about the potential for an overheated economy, the Federal Reserve
raised short-term interest rates twice during the fiscal year covered by this
report. A third increase, announced November 16, occurred after the reporting
period for the Funds. According to the Fed's theory, the impact of the two rate
increases on the stock market during the period covered by this report should
have caused consumer confidence to fall and consumer spending to slow, thereby
pre-empting any reemergence of inflation. Despite the evidence of the Fed's
continued vigilance on the inflation front, the cumulative effect of 1999's
economic events has been negative for the fixed-income markets, including
municipal bonds.

HOW DID THESE EVENTS IMPACT SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
For the first 10 months of 1999, municipal supply across the nation fell just
over 20% from the levels recorded during the same period in 1998. Some of this
decline can be attributed to the rise in interest rates, which discouraged
municipalities from issuing long-term debt at higher interest costs. In
addition, the refunding activity involving older debt typically declines in a
rising interest rate environment. Among the states, California and New York
remained the most active issuers in the nation. Although we expect to see
adequate municipal supply for the remainder of the year, Y2K concerns are
expected to affect the new issuance calendar to some extent. To avoid any
potential problems as 1999 turns to 2000, some municipal bond issuers have
accelerated this year's issuance, while others have decided to delay issues
until next year. Issuance should gradually return to a more normal level
following January, with issuance in 2000 expected to be on par with that of
1999.

Over recent months, institutional demand for municipal paper has been weakened
by several events outside the municipal market. Insurance companies, which have
historically been major buyers of municipal bonds, have been hit hard by claims
from natural disasters and further hampered by price cutting on insurance
premiums in the property casualty sector, which has hurt earnings. At the same
time, fund redemptions have limited the demand from mutual fund companies,
another major source of institutional demand. In addition, an accelerated
corporate bond issuance calendar, timed to avoid any problems with Y2K, resulted
in heavy corporate bond supply, which vied with municipal bonds for
institutional investor attention.

On the other hand, demand from individual investors has been a bright spot for
municipal bonds during most of 1999, as investors actively worked to rebalance
their portfolios by redirecting assets from equity investments into the
fixed-income market. In 1998, individual investors held more than 30% of
outstanding municipal debt, making them the largest owner class, and statistics
indicate that municipal bond sales to retail investors in 1999 are on track to
beat 1998's record levels.

HOW DID THE NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS PERFORM IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
For the 12 months ended October 31, 1999, the Funds produced total returns on
net asset value (NAV) ranging from -6.64% to -3.20%, providing
taxable-equivalent total returns1 between -3.87% and -0.20% for shareholders in
the 31% federal income tax bracket, as shown in the table on page four. The
annual total return for the Funds' benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index2, and the average return for their Lipper Peer Group3 are also provided.


1    The taxable-equivalent total return represents the total return that must
     be earned on a taxable investment in order to equal the total return of the
     Nuveen fund on an after-tax basis. The taxable-equivalent total return is
     based on the annualized total return and the 31% federal income tax rate.

Past performance is not predictive of future results.

For additional information on your Fund, see its individual Performance Overview
in this report.

The underperformance of the Funds' total returns on NAV relative to their Lehman
benchmark can be attributed largely to their durations4. Duration measures a
bond fund's price volatility, or reaction to interest rate movements (prices
fall when rates rise and vice versa). The longer the duration, the more
sensitive the fund's NAV is to changes in interest rates. During a period of
falling interest rates, a longer duration enables a fund's NAV to participate
more fully in market gains. However, when interest rates rise as they did over
the last year, longer duration can make the fund's NAV more vulnerable to price
declines. As of October 31, 1999, the Funds' durations ranged from 8.72 to
12.75, compared with 7.52 for the Lehman index. Between November 1, 1998, and
October 31, 1999, the yield on the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index5 rose from
5.28% to 6.18%. This meant that funds with longer durations, like the Funds in
this report, were more likely to underperform the market, as represented by the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.


Over the past 12 months, the durations of the Funds in this report lengthened
considerably due to market action, trading activity, and bond calls that removed
shorter bonds from each fund. Proceeds from sold or called bonds were reinvested
in issues with longer durations. These bonds provided attractive yields and
better call protection. Lengthening the Funds' durations should help position
the Funds to regain net asset value as the bond market recovers.


HOW WERE THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES AFFECTED?
During the past year, good call protection helped support the dividends of the
Funds covered in this report and shield their income from erosion. As of October
31, 1999, NQU had provided shareholders with steady dividends for 57 consecutive
months, and NQS had produced 16 consecutive months of stable dividends. Both NQM
and NPF had recorded 15 months without a change in dividend. All of these funds
continued to provide competitive market yields.


In 1999, rising interest rates, inflation worries, and the uncertainty
surrounding the timing of the Federal Reserve's moves created a negative
environment in the fixed-income markets. In addition, concerns about the impact
of the transition to the year 2000 have precipitated an early start to tax-swap
season, as investors attempt to offset profits in the equity markets by selling
fixed-income investments with embedded losses. All of these factors have
negatively impacted the market demand for exchange-traded funds, especially NQS,
NQU, and NPF, which had been trading at premiums to their net asset value. This
resulted in declines in share price across the board. Since the prevailing
interest rate environment in October 1999 was higher than that of a year
earlier, the Funds' NAVs also declined, as bond prices fell while interest rates
rose. As a result of these factors, NQS, NQU, and NPF saw their premiums (share
price above NAV) move to discounts (share price below NAV), and the discount on
NQM widened over the past 12 months.

WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE FUNDS DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
Over the past fiscal year, these Funds were managed with the goals of supporting
and strengthening their long-term dividend capabilities, improving call
protection, and enhancing the Funds' tax efficiency by offsetting potential
capital gains with capital losses.

Enhanced tax efficiency has been an increasing focus for us over the past six
months, as the rising interest rate environment offered opportunities to
benefit the Funds through active trading. The increased level of recent trading
activity is reflected in the transaction volume figure for the Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Funds for the third quarter of 1999, which was 10 times that of
the same period in 1998. The strategy we are employing involves selling selected
bonds that are trading at a loss, recognizing the capital losses, and then
rolling the proceeds into bonds with similar characteristics, but offering
attractive yields and better call protection. Some of the bonds we sold were due
to mature or scheduled to be called within the next few months, while others
were bonds that we had purchased earlier this year that were now producing a
lower income stream than that recently available in the market. This trading not
only gave us capital losses with which to offset current and future capital
gains, thereby protecting shareholders from additional taxes, but also - in most
cases - increased the net earnings of the Funds. If current market conditions
persist, we will continue to focus on implementing this strategy.

Although new issue supply in the municipal market declined from last year's
levels, we were able to identify attractive bonds in several sectors that added
income potential as well as diversification to the Funds. Among the sectors
where we found value were utilities and transportation, especially in airport
and toll road bonds. In NQM, we also continue to watch the more traditional
issuer sectors for value, including water and sewer bonds and general
obligation debt. In NQU, we are currently seeing increased opportunities in the
transportation sector on the West Coast, particularly California, where
transportation infrastructure projects have received little attention for 20
years. Today, increased demand is being met with a growing number of toll road
and rail projects. In addition to enhancing diversification, all of these bonds
provide

     that must be earned on a taxable investment in order to equal the
     yield/total return of the Nuveen fund on an after-tax basis. The
     taxable-equivalent yield is based on the fund's current market yield and a
     federal income tax rate of 31%, while the taxable-equivalent total return
     is based on the annualized total return and the 31% federal income tax
     rate.

attractive income, with the potential of being an excellent example of the types
of purchases we made to support the Funds' dividends.

All four funds have holdings in the healthcare sector, which has been beset with
concerns about deregulation and profitability. This sector is a dynamic and
volatile area of the market and has created credit and rating pressures for
certain healthcare organizations and caused some investors to avoid the sector
entirely. Since one of Nuveen's strategies is to find value in sectors and bonds
that have been overlooked by the rest of the market, the healthcare sector has
been an area where Nuveen research and our prudent investment approach enable us
to find and exploit opportunities that can add value for our shareholders. As
credit spreads (or the difference between higher credit quality securities and
those of lower credit quality) widened in recent months, we took advantage of
these opportunities to purchase lower-rated hospital issues for NPF.

All four funds offer excellent credit quality, with the portion of the Funds'
assets invested in bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 74% to
85% at the end of October 1999. Each of the Funds has a high percentage
(28%-34%) of U.S. guaranteed bonds, representing a large number of pre-refunded
and escrowed issues. Over the next six months, shareholders can expect to see
those percentages drop between 10% and 15% due to bond calls and sales. The
prices of many of the U.S. guaranteed bonds have appreciated to their full
extent, and we are taking advantage of opportunities to sell at attractive
prices before they are called from our portfolios. The credit quality of the
Funds will remain high, however, since these bonds are being replaced with
insured and AAA bonds. All four funds also had a substantial allocation (9% to
17%) of BBB and non-rated investment-grade bonds. These lower-rated bonds
generally provided enhanced levels of yield, especially as credit spreads
widened. Nuveen's research expertise, along with our presence in the national
municipal market, means that shareholders can be assured that the
credit-worthiness of all issuers is subjected to Nuveen's stringent review
process before bonds are purchased for the Funds' portfolios.

MuniPreferred shares, which pay short-term interest rates to investors seeking
short-term liquidity, are issued by all of the Funds covered in this report. The
proceeds from these preferred shares are used to buy additional long-term bonds
for the leveraged funds' portfolios. These bonds can generate additional income
for the portfolios, but may also increase volatility, including lengthening
duration. During the past year, the leverage ratio of each fund fell below the
Nuveen guideline of 35%. This led to the issuance of new MuniPreferred shares
for NQM and NQU in May and for NQS and NPF in June. Nuveen releveraged the funds
both to restore the original leverage ratio of 35% and to provide the potential
for increased incremental tax-free income for common shareholders.

In the area of bond calls, NPF currently provides excellent levels of call
protection, with only 11% of its portfolio subject to calls between now and the
end of 2001. This should provide additional protection and stability for the
Fund's dividend over this period. However, NQM, NQS, and NQU are now approaching
the part of a bond's life when the likelihood of bond calls increases. Ten years
after the original issue date, issuers typically have their first opportunity to
call, or redeem, outstanding bonds. Calls are more likely to occur if current
interest rates are lower than the rates that prevailed when the bonds were first
issued. For NQM, the greatest call exposure occurs in 2000, while NQS and NQU
will face the majority of calls in 2001.

To reduce the impact of calls, we are already at work on strategies for managing
through this period. As mentioned earlier, we have been active buyers in the
current market as we try to take advantage of the higher interest rate
environment. These recent purchases can also benefit the Funds by extending call
protection. Given the current level of bond yields, we have been evaluating
suitable replacements for older bonds, focusing on bonds that we believe are
undervalued and have the potential to support the Funds' dividends and enhance
portfolio structure. This should enable us to continue providing a competitive
level of dividends for our shareholders.

WHAT IS NUVEEN'S OUTLOOK FOR THE FUNDS?
In the months ahead, we plan to continue active trading to take advantage of the
higher yields currently available in the municipal market and enhance our
portfolio holdings and the dividend capabilities of the Funds. Because of strong
interest from individual investors, California and New York continue to be good
markets for selling bonds. We will also continue working on strategies designed
to manage the Funds' call exposure and reduce the impact of bond calls.
Currently, that includes selling bonds with short calls and extending the Funds'
call protection by buying new issues with favorable call features. While credits
spreads remain wider, we will continue to monitor the BBB and non-rated sector,
watching for additional opportunities to take advantage of higher yields,
especially in NPF.

The ability to implement strategies with the potential to benefit the Funds
demonstrates the value that can be added by an active bond manager such as
Nuveen. As an experienced investment manager knowledgeable about the unique
aspects of the municipal market, we are in the marketplace every day, monitoring
market dynamics, looking for opportunities, and trying to capitalize on them to
the benefit of shareholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The National Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding
New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Investment Quality Municipal Fund,
Inc. (NQM), Nuveen Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQS), Nuveen Quality
Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQU) and Nuveen Premier Municipal Income Fund, Inc.
(NPF).

Each Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations
issued by state and local government authorities. The Funds are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as closed-end, diversified management
investment companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Securities Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. When price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields
or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon,
maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers and general
market conditions. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to
market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to
the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At
October 31, 1999, Select Quality and Premier Income had outstanding when-issued
and delayed delivery purchase commitments of $14,709,625 and $7,669,520,
respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in either
Investment Quality or Quality Income.

Investment Income
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on long-term debt securities
when required for federal income tax purposes.

Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its tax-exempt net
investment income, in addition to any significant amounts of net realized
capital gains and/or market discount realized from investment transactions. The
Funds currently consider significant net realized capital gains and/or market
discount as amounts in excess of $.01 per Common share. Furthermore, each Fund
intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such
tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly
tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999,
have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gain and
market discount distributions are subject to federal taxation.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Tax-exempt net investment income is declared monthly as a dividend and payment
is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts on the first
business day after month-end. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount
from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less
frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the
extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized
capital gains and/or market discount 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 generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, temporary over-distributions as a result of these
differences may occur and will be classified as either distributions in excess
of net investment income, distributions in excess of net realized gains and/or
distributions in excess of net ordinary taxable income from investment
transactions, where applicable.

Preferred Shares

The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend
rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set by the auction agent.
The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as
follows:

Effective June 11, 1999, Premier Income issued 1,000 Series M $25,000 stated

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in transactions in certain derivative financial instruments
including futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial
instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to
invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not
make any such investments during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the custodian fees
and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with
the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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.

Build Your Wealth Automatically
Sidebar text: Nuveen offers a number of convenient ways to add to your portfolio
and earn the tax-free income you need to achieve your financial goals.

Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your
reinvestment account.

NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends
and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. If you do not
elect to reinvest distributions, all distributions are paid by check or can be
deposited directly into your bank or brokerage account.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. You'll also potentially benefit from dollar-cost averaging, a
technique of investing at regular intervals, which allows you to build a
high-quality, tax-free portfolio conveniently and cost effectively over time.

To be effective, dollar cost averaging requires that you invest over a long
period of time and does not assure that you will profit.

EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
Income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that
are reinvested.

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
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. Dividends
and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally
be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on
dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of
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 dividend or 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 by Plan participants. These
commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

FLEXIBILITY
You may, of course, change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at
any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can
receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account
and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment
account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

You can also reinvest if your shares are registered in the name of a brokerage
firm, bank, or other nominee. Just ask your investment adviser if the firm will
participate on your behalf. If not, it's easy to have the shares registered in
your name and to apply for a reinvestment account directly. Participants whose

YEAR 2000
The concern that computer systems may have problems processing date-related
information in the year 2000 and beyond has challenged businesses and
organizations to thoroughly review all aspects of their operations. We have
undertaken just such an approach at Nuveen in preparation for the millennium.
Over the last 10 years, we have updated or replaced our trading, fund
management, and pricing systems at Nuveen - systems that directly affect our
investors and their financial advisers - to address Year 2000 concerns.

We continue to work closely with our transfer agent, custodian, firms through
whom we buy and sell portfolio securities, and other service partners to monitor
the Year 2000 readiness of their systems, while addressing other remaining
systems issues.

In addition, the Funds hold securities of issuers whose business operations
leave them susceptible to Year 2000 concerns. We seek to evaluate an issuer's
Year 2000 readiness as part of our initial and ongoing research of these
issuers. This is only one of the many factors considered in determining whether
to buy, sell, or continue holding a particular security.

Our Year 2000 review, repair, and testing program has been substantially
completed. This program included industry-wide testing of critical systems and
receipt of satisfactory assurances from critical service providers, vendors, and
issuers regarding their Year 2000 readiness. We will continue more refined
testing of our systems and their relationships with other parties' systems and
will regularly discuss the results of this testing with those parties. We are
also making Year 2000 contingency plans to guide recovery efforts in the event
that, despite our remediation attempts, Year 2000 issues adversely affect the
Funds. Although we can never have complete assurance that the steps we take will
be sufficient to prevent any problems that would impact the Nuveen
Exchange-Traded Funds, we can assure you that we will take all reasonable steps
to prevent disruption of the services provided by your Fund.


FUND POLICIES
The Board of Trustees of your Fund recently modified certain investment policies
of the Fund. The Fund was formerly not permitted to invest more than 5% of its
total assets in Municipal Leases that contain "non-appropriation" clauses. In
addition, your Fund was not permitted to invest more than 10% of its total
assets in Municipal Leases and securities that are unmarketable, illiquid or not
readily marketable. The Municipal Lease market has matured since the Fund's
inception, and non-appropriation leases have become more liquid and widely
accepted. The Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund Board has eliminated the restrictions
noted above, replacing them with requirements that the Funds limit investments
in non-appropriation Municipal Leases to those that meet one or more of six
criteria that indicate that the issuer will be motivated to continue to
appropriate monies to make the payments under the Municipal Lease.

The Board also eliminated the Fund's policy not to invest more than 5% of its
total assets in unsecured obligations of issuers which, together with their
predecessors, have been in operation for less than three years.

Each fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in
the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the 12-month period ended October 31, 1999. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.
