GENERAL INFORMATION

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees, as the case may be, (each a "Board"
and each Director or Trustee a "Board Member") of each of Nuveen Municipal Value
Fund, Inc. ("Municipal Value"), Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("Municipal
Income"), Nuveen Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Premium Income"), Nuveen
Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Performance Plus"), Nuveen Municipal
Advantage Fund, Inc. ("Municipal Advantage"), Nuveen Municipal Market

Nuveen Premier Insured Municipal Income Fund, Inc. ("Premier Insured"), Nuveen
Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. ("Premium Income 2"), Nuveen Insured
Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 ("Insured Premium Income 2") and Nuveen Select
Maturities Municipal Fund ("Select Maturities") (individually, a "Fund" and,
collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of each Fund to be held on July 28, 1999 (for each Fund, an "Annual
Meeting" and, collectively, the "Annual Meetings"), and at any and all
adjournments thereof.

On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice has
been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of that
Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares of each
Fund will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint
Proxy Statement and FOR ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as
independent auditors. Shareholders of any Fund who execute proxies may revoke
them at any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice
of revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement
for the Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of the Fund and its
shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by
the shareholders. Shareholders of each Fund will vote separately on each
proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on a proposal by the shareholders of
one Fund will not affect the vote on the proposal by the shareholders of another
Fund.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:

(1) "MuniPreferred" means "Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred."

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual
Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at
that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member
nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred of each Fund (except
Municipal Income, Municipal Value and Select Maturities), 33 1/3% of the
MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy will
constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual Meeting
will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual
Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is
present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions
and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in
"street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the
beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee
does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for
purposes of determining a quorum.

For purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote of
the shareholders of each Fund (except Select Maturities and Insured Premium
Income 2), abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted
against the election of Board Members and against ratification of the selection
of independent auditors. For purposes of determining the approval of the matters
submitted for a vote of the shareholders of Select Maturities and Insured
Premium Income 2, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the
election of Board Members and will have the same effect as shares voted against
ratification of the selection of independent auditors. The details of each
proposal to be voted on by the shareholders of each Fund and the vote required
for approval of each proposal are set forth under the description of each
proposal below.

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on June
1, 1999 will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of June 1, 1999,
shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding as follows:

This Joint Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of the Funds on

1. ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH FUND

At each Fund's Annual Meeting (except Municipal Value and Municipal Income),
seven (7) Board Members are to be elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting
and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Under the
terms of each Fund's organizational documents (except Municipal Value, Municipal
Income and Select Maturities) under normal circumstances holders of
MuniPreferred are entitled to elect two (2) Board Members, and the remaining
Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common Shares and MuniPreferred,
voting together as a single class. Pursuant to the organizational documents of
Municipal Value and Municipal Income the Board is divided into three classes,
with each class being elected to serve a term of three years. For Municipal
Value and Municipal Income, one (1) Board Member is to be elected at this
meeting to serve for a three year term.

FOR PREMIUM INCOME, PERFORMANCE PLUS, MUNICIPAL ADVANTAGE, MUNICIPAL MARKET
OPPORTUNITY, INVESTMENT QUALITY, INSURED QUALITY, SELECT QUALITY, QUALITY
INCOME, INSURED MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITY, PREMIER MUNICIPAL, PREMIER INSURED,
PREMIUM INCOME 2, AND INSURED PREMIUM INCOME 2. As indicated above, holders of
MuniPreferred are entitled to elect two of the Board Members. Messrs. Schneider
and Schwertfeger are nominees for election by holders of MuniPreferred. The five
remaining Board Members are to be elected by holders of Common Shares and the
Preferred Shares, voting together as a single class. Messrs. Bremner, Brown and
Sawers and Mses. Impellizzeri and Stockdale are nominees for election by all
shareholders.

FOR MUNICIPAL VALUE AND MUNICIPAL INCOME. The Boards of Municipal Value and
Municipal Income have designated Ms. Impellizzeri as a Class II and Class I
Board Member, respectively, and as a nominee for Board Member for a term
expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2002, and until her successor
has been duly elected and qualified. The remaining Board Members, Messrs.
Bremner, Brown, Sawers, Schneider and Schwertfeger and Ms. Stockdale are current
and continuing Board Members. The term of Messrs. Bremner and Schneider and Ms.
Stockdale as Class III and Class II Board Members of Municipal Value and
Municipal Income, respectively, expires in 2000. The term of Lawrence H. Brown,
Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger as Class I and Class III Board

FOR SELECT MATURITIES. Messrs. Bremner, Brown, Sawers, Schneider and

will be required to elect Board Members of that Fund. For Select Maturities and
Insured Premium Income 2, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares
present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to elect the
Board Members of those Funds.

It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless
the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a
Board Member of each Fund if elected; however, should any nominee become unable
or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies for each Fund will
be voted for one or more substitute nominees designated by that Fund's present
Board.

The table below shows each nominee's age, principal occupations and other
business affiliations, the year in which each nominee was first elected or
appointed a Board Member of each Fund and the number of common shares of the
Funds and of all Nuveen Funds (excluding money market funds) which each nominee
beneficially owned as of April 30, 1999. All of the nominees were last elected
to the Board at the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders except for Municipal
Value and

3
<PAGE> 7

Municipal Income which only elected Class I and Class III Board Members,
respectively. Currently there is a vacancy on the Board. No candidate has been
selected to fill this vacancy.

Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, none of the Board Members have ever been a director
or an employee of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated or any affiliate.

EACH FUND'S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION
OF THE NOMINEES NAMED BELOW.

<PAGE> 8

(*) "Interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by reason of being an officer or director of the Funds' investment
adviser, Nuveen Advisory Corp.

(1) As of June 1, 1999, the Board Members and nominees were board members of 36
Nuveen open-end funds and 55 closed-end funds managed by Nuveen Advisory
Corp. ("NAC Funds"). In addition, Mr. Schwertfeger is a board member of six
open-end and five closed-end funds managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory
Corp. ("NIAC Funds").

(2) These persons have sole voting power and sole investment power, except that
Mr. Schwertfeger and Ms. Stockdale's shares are held jointly with their
respective spouses. Mr. Brown's shares are held in a revocable trust. All
shares listed for Mr. Bremner are owned by his spouse. Mr. Bremner disclaims
beneficial ownership of these shares.

(3) The number shown reflects the aggregate number of common shares beneficially
owned in all of the NAC and NIAC Funds referred to in note (1) above
(excluding money market funds). Includes share equivalents of certain Nuveen
Funds in which the Board Member is deemed to be invested pursuant to the
Funds' Deferred Compensation Plan ("Deferred Units"), as more fully
described below. Also includes shares held by Mr. Schwertfeger in Nuveen's
401(k)/profit sharing plan.

(4) Messrs. Bremner and Schneider and Ms. Stockdale are continuing Class III and
Class II Board Members of Municipal Value and Municipal Income,
respectively, whose term will expire in 2000.

(5) Messrs. Brown, Sawers and Schwertfeger are Class I and Class III Board
Members of Municipal Value and Municipal Income, respectively, and have been
nominated for a term to expire in 2001.

(6) Ms. Impellizzeri is a continuing Class II and Class I Board Member of
Municipal Value and Municipal Income, respectively, whose term, should she
be elected again at this meeting, will expire in 2002.

(7) Messrs. Schneider and Schwertfeger are Board nominees to be elected by
holders of MuniPreferred for all Funds except Municipal Value, Municipal
Income and Select Maturities.

The Board Members affiliated with John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated ("Nuveen") or
Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") serve without any compensation from the
Funds. Board Members who are not affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser receive a
$15,000 quarterly retainer ($60,000 annually) for serving as a board member of
all funds sponsored by Nuveen and managed by the Adviser and a $1,000 fee per
day plus expenses for attendance at all meetings held on a day on which a
regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per day plus expenses
for attendance in person or a $500 fee per day plus expenses for attendance by
telephone at a meeting held on a day on which no regular Board meeting is held,
and a $250 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person or by telephone at
a meeting of the executive committee or the dividend committee. The annual
retainer, fees and expenses are allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser
on the basis of relative net asset sizes. Effective January 1, 1999, the Board
of Directors/Trustees of certain Nuveen Funds (the "Participating Funds")
established a Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees.
Under the plan, Independent Board Members of the Participating Funds may defer
receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation they earn for their services
to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving current payments of such
compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though an equivalent dollar
amount had been invested in shares of one or more Eligible Funds. Each
Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected to defer at least a
portion of their fees. Select Maturities is not a Participating Fund. As the
Plan went into effect after the end of the Funds' fiscal year end, no
compensation for the Fund's most recent fiscal year end was deferred.

The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid during the calendar year 1998.

(1) Includes compensation for service on the boards of the NAC Funds for the
calendar year ended 1998.

Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger serve as members of the executive
committee of the Board of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets
between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the
powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive
committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, are
limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is
impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to
quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the
executive committee) or (ii) matters of administrative or ministerial nature.
The executive committee of each Fund did not hold any meetings.

Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are the current members of the
dividend committee for each Fund. The dividend committee is authorized to
declare distributions on the Funds' shares including, but not limited to,
regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions.
The dividend committee of each Fund held fourteen meetings (twelve for Select
Maturities) during its last fiscal year.

Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence
H. Brown, Anne E. Impellizzeri, Peter R. Sawers, William J. Schneider and Judith
M. Stockdale, Board Members who are not "interested persons." The audit
committee reviews the work and any recommendations of the Fund's independent
auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to make recommendations to the
Board. The audit committee of each Fund held two meetings during its last fiscal
year.

Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund
is committed to a nominating committee composed of the Board Members who are not
"interested persons" of that Fund. It identifies and recommends individuals to
be nominated for election as non-interested Board Members. The nominating
committees of each Fund held one meeting during its last fiscal year. No policy
or procedure has been established as to the recommendation of Board Member
nominees by shareholders.

The Board of each Fund, except Select Maturities, held five meetings during its
last fiscal year. The Board of Select Maturities held six meetings during its
last fiscal year. During the last fiscal year, each Board Member attended 75% or
more of each Fund's Board meetings and the committee meetings (if a member
thereof).

The following table sets forth information as of April 30, 1999 with respect to
each executive officer of the Funds, other than Mr. Schwertfeger who is a Board
Member and included in the table relating to nominees for the Board. Officers of
the Funds receive no compensation from the Funds. The term of office of all
officers will expire in July 1999. The Board will consider

<PAGE> 10

the election of officers at the Board meeting to be held after the Funds' Annual
Meeting, to serve until July 2000 and as set forth in each Fund's by-laws.

As of June 1, 1999, no shareholder owned more than 5% of any class of shares of

2. SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The members of each Fund's Board who are not "interested persons" of that Fund
have unanimously selected Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, as
independent auditors, to audit the books and records for each Fund for its
current fiscal year. Ernst & Young LLP has served each Fund in this capacity
since that Fund was organized and has no direct or indirect financial interest
in that Fund except as independent auditors. The selection of Ernst & Young LLP
as independent auditors of each Fund is being submitted to the shareholders for
ratification, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of
each Fund present and entitled to vote on the matter. A representative of Ernst
& Young LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meetings and will be
available to respond to any appropriate questions raised at the Annual Meetings
and to make a statement if he or she wishes.

EACH FUND'S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL INTEREST REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"
and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), as
amended, require each Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser,
affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms
reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes
in ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and entities are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each
Fund believes that during its last fiscal year all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to that Fund's Board Members and officers, investment
adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser were complied with
except that a late filing was made on Form 5 on behalf of Anthony T. Dean, a
retired Board Member, in connection with an additional purchase of shares of
Municipal Market Opportunity.

14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 must
submit such written notice to the Fund not later than April 30, 2000. Timely
submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included.

EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION

notice and proxy statement, and all other costs in connection with the
solicitation of proxies, will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number

representatives.

FISCAL YEAR

annual report and/or semi-annual report as available upon request. Such written
or oral requests should be directed to such Fund at 333 West Wacker Drive,

GENERAL

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that
any other items of business will be presented at any Fund's Annual Meeting.
However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meeting for a
vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon
such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of the
Fund.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's Annual
Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business
hours for ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if
they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in
the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an
adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN PERSON, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
