+ Interest for Unitholders of this series began to accrue as of the Date of
Deposit. Units purchased on the Date of Deposit will have $.08 of accrued
interest that will be added to the Public Offering Price on the Settlement Date.
After provision for expenses of the Fund, the daily rate of accrual from the
Date of Deposit to the first Record Date is $.01557 per unit per day.
Consequently, on the first Record Date (10/01/95), accrued interest will total
$0.5916 per unit for the 38-day period. All interest accrued from the Date of
Deposit to the first Record Date, less expenses, will be distributed on the
first Distribution Date to Unitholders of Record as of the first Record Date.
The first payment to all Unitholders of Record on 10/01/95 is $.5916 per unit.
After the first Record Date daily rates of accrual are:
Monthly - $0.01557 Quarterly - $0.01566
Semi-Annual - $0.01571
This daily rate of accrual, and the annual distributions shown above, will
remain the same as long as the portfolio size and composition remain the same.

will redeem units at net asset value. In addition, John Nuveen & Co.

prospectus. No representation is made as to the insurer's ability to meet its
commitments. See Section 5 of the prospectus for details.

interest that will be added to the Public Offering Price on the Settlement Date.
