Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The financial markets in which your Fund operates continue to reflect the larger
economic crosscurrents. The illiquidity that infected global credit markets over
the last year appears to be slowly but steadily receding. The major institutions
that are the linchpin of the international financial system are strengthening
their capital structures, but many still struggle with losses in their various
portfolios. There are encouraging signs of recovery in European and Asian
economies, while the U.S. economy continues to feel the impact of job losses and
an over-borrowed consumer. Global trends include modestly increasing trade and
increased concern about the ability of the U.S. government to address its
substantial budgetary deficits. Identifying those developments that will define
the future is never easy, but rarely is it more difficult than at present.
After considerable volatility in the first few months of 2009, both the
fixed-income and equity markets have seen a partial recovery. A fundamental
component of a successful long-term investment program is a commitment to remain
invested during market downturns in order to be better positioned to benefit
from any recovery. Another component is to re-evaluate investment disciplines
and tactics and to confirm their validity following periods of extreme
volatility and market dislocation, such as we have recently experienced. Your
Board carried out an intensive review of investment performance with these
objectives in mind during April and May of this year as part of the annual
management contract renewal process. I encourage you to read the description of
this process in the Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
section of this report.
Remaining invested through market downturns and reconfirming the appropriateness
of a long term investment strategy is as important for our shareholders as it is
for professional investment managers. For that reason, I again encourage you to
remain in communication with your financial consultant on these subjects. For
recent developments on all your Nuveen Funds, please visit the Nuveen web site:
www.nuveen.com.
Nuveen remains committed to resolving the issues connected with outstanding
auction rate preferred shares. In September 2009, Nuveen completed the
refinancing, at par, of all the auction rate preferred shares issued by its
taxable closed-end funds that were outstanding when the preferred auctions began
to fail in February 2008. For a variety of reasons, refinancing the outstanding
auction rate preferred shares issued by the municipal closed-end funds is taking
longer but Nuveen is diligently pursuing a range of options to accomplish this.
Please consult the Nuveen web site for the most recent information about the
redemption of municipal auction rate preferred shares.
On behalf of the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward to
continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner

twelve-month performance of the Nuveen New York Funds. Cathryn, who joined

WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE
TWELVE-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009?
During this reporting period, municipal bond prices generally rose as strong
cash flows into municipal bond funds combined with a tighter supply of new
tax-exempt issuance to provide favorable supply and demand conditions. As the
period began, downward pressure on the economy continued. In an effort to
improve overall economic conditions, the Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to cut
interest rates, lowering the fed funds rate from 2.00% on October 1, 2008, to a
target range of zero to 0.25% in December 2008, its lowest level on record. In
March 2009, the Fed announced that, in addition to maintaining the current
target rate, it would buy $300 billion in long-term Treasury securities in an
effort to support private credit markets and up to an additional $750 billion
(for a total of $1.25 trillion) in agency mortgage-backed securities to bolster
the housing market. The federal government joined in the effort to boost the
economy by passing a $700 billion financial industry rescue package in October
2008, which was followed by a $787 billion stimulus package in February 2009.
In recent months, the measures taken by the Federal Reserve and the federal
government to ease the economic recession have produced some incipient signs of
improvement in the economy. In the third quarter of 2009, the U.S. economy, as
measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), posted positive growth (3.5%
annualized) for the first time since the second quarter of 2008. Housing prices
also provided something of a bright spot between June and August 2009 by
recording three consecutive months of positive returns, the first following
three years of decline. At the same time, inflation remained muted, as the
Consumer Price Index (CPI), reflecting a

22% drop in energy prices, fell 1.3% year-over-year as of September 2009. This
marked the sixth straight month that consumer prices dropped from their levels
of a year earlier, the longest such decline since 1954-1955. The core CPI (which
excludes food and energy) rose 1.5% over this twelve-month period, within the
Fed's unofficial objective of 2.0% or lower for this measure. However, the
economy continued to be stressed by weakness in the labor markets. September
2009 marked the 21st consecutive month of job losses, bringing the total to 7.2
million jobs lost since the recession began in December 2007, the biggest
decline since the Great Depression. The national unemployment rate for September
2009 was 9.8%, a 26-year high, up from 6.2% in September 2008.
Municipal market conditions began to show general signs of improvement in
mid-December 2008, and municipal bonds were on an improving trend during the
first nine months of 2009. This was bolstered by the reduced supply of
tax-exempt municipal debt in the marketplace, due in part to the introduction of
the Build America Bond program in April 2009. Build America Bonds are a new
class of taxable municipal debt created as part of the February 2009 economic
stimulus package. These bonds offer municipal issuers a federal subsidy equal to
35% of the security's interest payments, and therefore offer issuers an
attractive alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt. As of September 30, 2009,
approximately 20% of new bonds issued in the municipal market, totaling more
than $33 billion, were issued as taxable Build America Bonds.
Over the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, municipal bond issuance
nationwide totaled $381.1 billion, a drop of approximately 17% compared with the
twelve-month period ended September 30, 2008. As mentioned earlier, demand for
tax-exempt bonds was exceptionally strong during the first nine months of 2009.
This combination of lower tax-exempt supply and increased demand provided
support for municipal bond prices.
HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS IN NEW YORK DURING THIS PERIOD?
According to the most recent data available, New York's economy continued to
contract in 2008, as the state posted annual GDP growth of 1.6%, down from 4.4%
in 2007. This dropped New York from its ranking as the second fastest growing
state economy in the nation to 18th. These numbers still compared favorably with
economic growth for the nation as a whole, which registered 0.7% in 2008 and
2.0% in 2007. Much of the decline in New York's GDP can be attributed to the
state's--and especially New York City's--substantial exposure to the financial
sector, which continued to experience turmoil and job losses. The majority of
the jobs lost in the state over the past twelve months were in the finance,
professional and business services, manufacturing and construction sectors,
while education and health services was the only sector to show a small gain in
employment.
Nuveen Investments 3
This gain was significant, however, because the education and health services
sector represents approximately 18% of the New York economy, compared with an
average of 13% nationally. As of September 2009, the unemployment rate in New
York was 8.9%. The decline in the housing sector also added to New York's
economic slowdown. Housing markets across the state continued to weaken,
although the drop was not as precipitous in New York as nationally. In New York
City, for example, housing prices fell 9.6% during the twelve months ended
August 2009, compared with an average decrease of 11.3% nationwide, according to
the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major metropolitan
areas. In terms of number of home foreclosures, New York ranked 39th among the
50 states in the third quarter of 2009. As of September 30, 2009, Moody's,
Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Fitch rated New York general obligation debt at
Aa3/AA/AA-, respectively, with stable outlooks from all three rating agencies.
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, municipal issuance in New York
totaled $38.7 billion, down 14% from the previous twelve months.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE NEW YORK FUNDS DURING THIS
REPORTING PERIOD?
During the majority of this twelve-month period, the municipal market was
characterized by stronger demand, constrained supply and generally improving
valuations. Due in part to the decline in new tax-exempt supply, investment
activity in the New York Funds was somewhat more limited than usual during this
period. While there was considerable issuance of Build America Bonds over the
last half of this period, we do not see them as a good investment opportunity
since interest payments from these bonds represent taxable income. Another
factor dampening trading activity during this period was the limited liquidity
of many insured bonds due to concerns about the financial health of municipal
bond insurers.
Overall, we continued to focus on relative value by taking a bottom-up approach
to discover undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to
perform well over the long term. Early in the period, we were able to take
advantage of opportunities to purchase lower-rated and non-rated bonds that we
believed offered value at very attractive prices. As the market rallied, we took
advantage of selected opportunities to add higher-quality bonds with longer
maturities and higher coupons.
4 Nuveen Investments
Cash for new purchases during this period was generated by maturing or called
bonds. As with our investment activity, we were not active in trying to sell
portfolio holdings in a market environment where the majority of the bonds
available for reinvestment offered lower yields at higher dollar prices. The
Funds continued to maintain their cash reserves, which we had increased amid the
market uncertainty of the previous reporting period, in anticipation of
increased tax-exempt issuance during the last part of 2009.
All of these New York Funds continued to use inverse floating rate
securities.(1) We employ inverse floaters as part of our management strategies
for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and
as a form of leverage. As of September 30, 2009, the inverse floaters remained
in place in all of the Funds. During the first half of the period, NNY also
invested in additional types of derivative instruments(2) designed to help
lengthen its duration. These derivatives were removed prior to September 30,
2009.
In April 2009, we introduced the Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund 2 (NYV),
which--like NNY--is an unleveraged Fund investing in a portfolio of tax-exempt
municipal obligations. NYV is designed to invest at least 80% of its net assets
in investment quality municipal securities and may invest up to 20% of its net
assets in bonds rated below investment grade quality but judged to be of
comparable quality by the Fund's adviser. During the period between NYV's
inception and September 30, 2009, we focused on completing the Fund's initial
investment phase. By period end, NYV was fully invested and had met or exceeded
all of its targeted objectives in terms of credit quality and diversification.
Our purchases during the investment phase primarily focused on bonds that we
believed would achieve the portfolio's objectives of providing attractive
monthly income exempt from regular federal and New York taxes and attractive
after-tax total returns over the long term. This included bonds at the longer
end of the maturity spectrum that offered good call protection and
diversification in terms of credit quality and sector, such as general and
limited tax obligation, health care, multi-family housing, education, and
transportation.
(1) An inverse floating rate security, also known as an inverse floater, is a
financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a
rate that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate
index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index typically used is the Securities
Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously
referred to as the Bond Market Association Index or BMA). Inverse
floaters, including those inverse floating rate securities in which the
Funds invested during this reporting period, are further defined within
the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in this
Report sections of this report.
(2) Each Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as forwards, futures,
options and swap transactions. For additional information on the
derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the
end of the reporting period, see the Portfolio of Investments, Financial
Statements, and Notes to Financial Statements sections of this report.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, the total returns on common
share net asset value (NAV) for NNP, NAN and NXK exceeded the returns for the
Standard & Poor's (S&P) New York Municipal Bond Index, the S&P National
Municipal Bond Index, the national Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the
average return for the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Average. NNY lagged
all of these measures over the same time period. As noted in the accompanying
footnotes, NYV's return represents the approximately five-month period between
its inception and September 30, 2009.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included yield curve and duration positioning, credit exposure and sector
allocation. In addition, leverage was an important factor affecting the Funds'
performances over this period. The primary reason that the return on NNY trailed
those of the other Funds for the twelve-month period was that this Fund does not
use leverage. The impact of leverage is discussed in more detail on page seven.
During this period, we saw prices rise and yields decline for many municipal
securities. Especially those at the longer end of the municipal yield curve.
Bonds in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities longer than
15 years, particularly those maturing in 20 years or more, benefited the most
from this interest rate environment. These bonds generally outperformed credits
with shorter maturities, with bonds maturing in one to two years posting the
weakest returns for the period. Overall, duration positioning was a positive
contributor to these Funds' returns, due largely to the fact that they were
underweighted in the underperforming shorter part of the yield curve.
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.

and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.

unleveraged, unmanaged national index comprising a broad range of
investment-grade municipal bonds. Results for the Barclays Capital index

6 Nuveen Investments
While duration played an important role in performance, credit exposure was also
a significant factor. As noted earlier, demand for municipal bonds increased
among both institutional and individual investors during this period. This
increase was driven by a variety of factors, including concerns about potential
tax increases, the need to rebal-ance portfolio allocations and a growing
appetite for additional risk. At the same time, the supply of new municipal
paper declined. As investors bid up municipal bond prices, bonds rated BBB or
below and non-rated bonds generally outperformed those rated AAA. In this
environment, the Funds' performances benefited greatly from their allocations of
bonds rated BBB and below and non-rated bonds, especially their overweighting of
the BBB category.
Holdings that generally contributed positively to the Funds' performances
included industrial development revenue (IDR), housing, water and sewer,
education and health care bonds, all of which outperformed the general municipal
market during this period. In general, the Funds had relatively heavy weightings
in housing, health care and education, which benefited their performances during
this period. Zero coupon bonds and credits backed by the 1998 master tobacco
settlement agreement were also among the strongest performers.
Pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities and which
had been one of the top performing segments of the municipal bond market over
the past two years, performed especially poorly during this period. This was due
primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. As of
September 30, 2009, these Funds were generally relatively underweighted in this
category, which lessened the negative impact of these holdings. Other market
segments that detracted from performance included resource recovery and leasing
bonds, the only two revenue sectors that failed to outperform the overall
municipal market during this period. General obligation bonds also struggled to
keep pace with the municipal market return for the twelve months.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of these Funds relative to the
comparative indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage (NNY and NYN are
unleveraged). The Funds use leverage because their managers believe that, over
time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total returns
for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common
shareholders to additional risk--especially when market conditions are
unfavorable. For example, as the prices of securities held by a Fund declines,
the negative impact of these valuation changes on common share net asset value
and common shareholder total return is magnified by the
Nuveen Investments 7
use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during
periods when bond prices generally are rising.
Over the early part of this period, leverage hampered the performance of the
Funds using this strategy. However, leverage made a significant positive
contribution to those Funds returns over much of 2009, which can be seen in
their twelve-month performance shown on page six.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUND'S LEVERAGED CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As noted in the last several shareholder reports, the auction rate preferred
shares issued by many closed-end funds, including these Nuveen Funds, have been
hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more
auction rate preferred shares have been submitted for sale in their regularly
scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy
have been almost completely non-existent since late February 2008. This means
that these auctions have "failed to clear," and that many, or all, of the
auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these
auctions were unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in auction rate preferred
shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction rate
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions, as calculated in accordance with
the pre-established terms of the auction rate preferred shares. In the recent
market, with short-term rates at multi-generational lows, those maximum rates
also have been low.
One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is
that each Fund's cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times
than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful.
As a result, each Fund's common share earnings likely have been incrementally
lower at times than they otherwise might have been.
As noted in past shareholder reports, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees
authorized a plan to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate
securities, to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding auction rate
preferred shares. The amount of TOBs that a Fund may use varies according to the
composition of each Fund's portfolio. Some Funds have a greater ability to use
TOBs than others. As of September 30, 2009,
8 Nuveen Investments
the amounts of auction rate preferred securities redeemed, at par, by each of
the Funds are as shown in the accompanying table.
AUCTION RATE % OF ORIGINAL
PREFERRED SHARES AUCTION RATE
FUND REDEEMED PREFERRED SHARES

NNP $ 36,650,000 29.49%
NAN $ 17,600,000 25.51%
NXK $ 12,900,000 27.45%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 16, 2009, subsequent to the reporting period, NAN filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement seeking to register
municipal term preferred shares (MTP), a new form of closed-end fund preferred
shares. This registration statement, if declared effective by the SEC, may
enable the Fund to issue to the public shares of MTP to refinance all or a
portion of NAN's auction rate preferred shares. The issuance of MTP by NAN is
subject to market conditions, the receipt of ratings, and on final approval by
NAN's Board of Trustees. There is no assurance that MTP will be issued.
The Funds, their Board of Directors/Trustees and Fund Management continue to
work to resolve this situation. Some Funds have issued Variable Rate Demand
Preferred Shares, but these issuances have been limited since it has been
difficult to find liquidity facilities on economically viable terms given the
constrained credit environment. The Funds also have tried to develop other forms
of preferred stock that have longer terms and do not require a Fund to obtain
and pay for the services of an external liquidity provider. However, the Funds
cannot provide any assurance on when the remaining outstanding auction rate
preferred shares might be redeemed.
As of September 30, 2009, 78 out of 88 Nuveen closed-end municipal funds have
redeemed, at par, all or a portion of their outstanding auction rate preferred
shares. These redemptions bring the total amount of Nuveen's municipal
closed-end funds' auction rate preferred share redemptions to approximately $2.3
billion of the original $11 billion outstanding.

Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information
During the twelve-month reporting period ended September 30, 2009, NNP had three
monthly dividend increases, while NAN and NXK each had two monthly dividend
increases. The dividend of NNY remained stable throughout the period. NYV, which
was introduced in April 2009, paid its initial monthly dividend distribution
effective June 2009 and maintained a stable dividend through the remainder of
the reporting period.
As the result of normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of these Funds
received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of
December 2008 as follows:
SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS AND/OR ORDINARY INCOME
FUND (PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NNY $ 0.0628 $ 0.0354
NNP $ 0.0751 $ 0.0558
NAN $ 0.0353 $ 0.0525
NXK $ 0.0822 $ 0.0566
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of September 30, 2009, all of
the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for tax purposes. NNY, NNP,
NAN and NXK had positive UNII balances and NYV had a negative UNII balance for
financial statement purposes.

NUVEEN NEW YORK MUNICIPAL VALUE FUND 2
NUVEEN NEW YORK PERFORMANCE PLUS MUNICIPAL FUND, INC.
NUVEEN NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND
NUVEEN NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND 2
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc.,
Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund 2, Nuveen New York Performance Plus
Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and
Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (the "Funds") as of
September 30, 2009, and the related statements of operations, cash flows (New
York Performance Plus, New York Dividend Advantage, and New York Dividend
Advantage 2 only), changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each
of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of September 30, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from
brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund
2, Nuveen New York Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund 2 at September 30, 2009, the results of their operations and cash
flows (New York Performance Plus, New York Dividend Advantage, and New York
Dividend Advantage 2 only), the changes in their net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with US
generally accepted accounting principles.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NNY), Nuveen
New York Municipal Value Fund 2 (NYV), Nuveen New York Performance Plus
Municipal Fund, Inc. (NNP), Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
(NAN) and Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NXK)
(collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of New York Value (NNY), New York
Performance Plus (NNP) and New York Dividend Advantage (NAN) are traded on the
New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of New York Municipal Value 2 (NYV)
and New York Dividend Advantage 2 (NXK) are traded on the NYSE Amex. The Funds
are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
closed-end management investment companies.
Prior to the commencement of operations, New York Value 2 (NYV) had no
operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial
capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), and the
recording of the organization expense ($15,000) and its reimbursement by Nuveen
Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
New York state income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal
obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of
New York or certain U.S. territories.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) (the "Codification") as the single
source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification supersedes existing
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification
did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance
within the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification
became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not have a material effect
on the Funds' financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment 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/Trustees. Prices
of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Futures contracts are
valued using the closing settlement price, or, in the absence of such a price,
at the mean of the bid and asked prices. When market price quotes are not
readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the
pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular
investment or derivative instrument, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the
Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market
data including 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. Temporary investments in securities
that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term
investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
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
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At September 30, 2009, New
York Dividend Advantage (NAN) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery
commitments of $4,000,000. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments
in any of the other Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
58 Nuveen Investments
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and New York state
income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders
of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid
by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
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 Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, 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 US
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
New York Value (NNY) and New York Value 2 (NYV) are not authorized to issue
Preferred shares. The following Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred
shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial
leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The
dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every seven days,
pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is
payable at the end of each rate period. As of September 30, 2009, the number of
Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as
follows:
NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK
PERFORMANCE DIVIDEND DIVIDEND

Series F 403 2,056 --
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 3,506 2,056 1,364
=================================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated
in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
These developments have generally not affected the management or investment
policies of the Funds. However, one continuing implication of these auction
failures for Common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely
be higher at times than it otherwise would have been had the auctions continued
to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future Common share earnings may
likely have been incrementally lower than they otherwise would have been. As of
September 30, 2009, the aggregate amount of outstanding Preferred shares
redeemed by each Fund is as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preferred shares redeemed, at liquidation value $ 36,650,000 $ 17,600,000 $ 12,900,000
=================================================================================================
Effective May 1, 2009, auction participation fees for Nuveen
Preferred shares with respect to auctions that have failed have been reduced
from 25 bps (annualized) to 15 bps (annualized). All auction participants have
signed new agreements incorporating this change.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the
Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to
tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate
bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment
in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as "(IF) - Inverse floating rate investment." An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In
such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as "(UB) - Underlying bond of an
inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction," with the Fund
accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as
"Floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In
addition, the Fund reflects in "Investment Income" the entire earnings of the
underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the
short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest expense on floating rate
obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, each Fund invested in
externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund
agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the
difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the
trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as
"Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.
At September 30, 2009, the Funds were not invested in externally-deposited
Recourse Trusts.

* Fund did not invest in self-deposited inverse floaters during the period
April 28, 2009 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2009.
Swap Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate swap contracts
consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or
otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e.
duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives. Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap
transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate
sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the
Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader municipal market.
Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with a
60 Nuveen Investments
counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange
for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the
accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the "effective
date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of
the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a
bond's maturity). The value of the Fund's swap commitment would increase or
decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for
bonds having a maturity of the swap's termination date increases or decreases.
Forward interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The net amount recorded
on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward
swaps" with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward
swaps."
The Funds may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which
point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated,
it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Net realized
gains and losses during the fiscal period are recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps." Each Fund intends,
but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date.
Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such
transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty
failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon
termination. The Funds did not invest in forward interest rate swap transactions
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
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 order
to gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in interest rates. 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 recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a
daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract and is
recognized as "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 and is recognized as "Net realized gain (loss) from
futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations. New York Value (NNY) was the
only Fund to invest in futures contracts during the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
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.
The average number of futures contracts outstanding for New York Value (NNY)
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, were as follows:
NEW YORK
VALUE
(NNY)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Average number of futures contracts outstanding 9*
================================================================================
* The average number of contracts is calculated based on the outstanding
contracts at the beginning of the fiscal year end and at the end of each
fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year. New York Value (NNY) was
not invested in futures contracts at the end of the current fiscal year.
Refer to Footnote 3 -- Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further
details on futures contract activity.
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. 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 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
Nuveen Investments 61
| Notes to

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 predetermined threshold
amount.
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. Tax-exempt 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. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Organizational and Offering Costs
Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to reimburse all organizational costs
($15,000) and pay all Common share offering costs (other than the sales load)
that exceed $.03 per share for New York Value 2 (NYV). New York Value 2 (NYV)
common share offering costs ($70,200) were recorded as reductions of the
proceeds from the sale of common shares.
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 Directors/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 US 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 applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted authoritative guidance under
GAAP on determining fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. In
determining the value of each Fund's investments various inputs are used. These
inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a
summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of September 30, 2009:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted amendments to authoritative
guidance under GAAP on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging
activities. This guidance is intended to enhance financial statement disclosures
for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to better
understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments; b) how derivative
instruments are accounted for; and c) how derivative instruments affect a fund's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows, if any. 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, under this
guidance they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for financial
reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in
which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period,
refer to the Portfolio of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1 -
General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.
The following tables present the amount of net realized gain (loss) and change
in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2009, on derivative instruments, as well as the primary risk
exposure associated with each. New York Value (NNY) held derivative instruments
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. None of the Funds had
outstanding derivative contracts at September 30, 2009.

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 timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that
differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified
within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented
in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences
do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.
At September 30, 2009, the cost of investments was as follows:

federal income tax regulations. Post-October capital losses of $7,406 are
treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year.
7. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components -- a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual Fund, and for New York Value (NNY) a gross interest
income component. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to
benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from
growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
New York Value (NNY) pays an annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, of .15% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund, as well as 4.125% of the gross
interest income (excluding interest on bonds underlying a "self-deposited
inverse floater" trust that is attributed to the Fund over and above the net
interest earned on the inverse floater itself) of the Fund.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for New York Performance Plus (NNP),
New York Dividend Advantage (NAN) and New York Dividend Advantage 2 (NXK) is
based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:
NEW YORK PERFORMANCE PLUS (NNP)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (1) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .4500%
For the next $125 million .4375
For the next $250 million .4250

For the next $1 billion .4000

For net assets over $2 billion .3750
================================================================================

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for New York Value 2 (NYV) is based
upon the average daily managed net assets of the Fund as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .4000%

For the next $250 million .3750
For the next $500 million .3625
For the next $1 billion .3500
For net assets over $2 billion .3375
================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is
additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is
based on the aggregate amount of total fund net assets managed as stated in the
following table. As of September 30, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was
..1901%.
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL NET ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989

$66 billion .1900
$71 billion .1851

$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed net assets of all Nuveen
funds, with such daily managed net assets defined separately for each fund
in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to
investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level
fee components, daily managed net assets include 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 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 the TOB trust that has
been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate
securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit the amount of
such assets for determining managed net assets in certain circumstances.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. 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 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.
For the first ten years of New York Dividend Advantage's (NAN) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth
below:

8. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets
During June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the authoritative guidance under
GAAP on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The objective of this
guidance is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a
transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a
transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and
measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring
on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this
guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the
effective date of this guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the
implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial
statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Distributions to Common Shareholders
The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net
investment income which were paid on November 2, 2009, to shareholders of record

==============================================================================================================
Municipal Term Preferred Shares (MTP)
On November 16, 2009, NAN filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement seeking to register MTP, a new form of closed-end fund
preferred shares. This registration statement, if declared effective by the SEC,
may enable the Fund to issue to the public shares of MTP to refinance all or a
portion of NAN's auction rate preferred shares. The issuance of MTP by NAN is
subject to market conditions, the receipt of ratings, and on final approval by
NAN's Board of Trustees. There is no assurance that MTP will be issued.
Evaluation Date
In May 2009, the FASB issued changes to authoritative guidance under GAAP for
subsequent events. This guidance requires an entity to recognize in the
financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide
additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance
sheet. This guidance is intended to establish general standards of accounting
and for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date - that is, whether that date
represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The Funds have performed an evaluation of subsequent events
through November 25, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were
issued.

N/A Fund is not authorized to issue Preferred shares.
* Annualized.
** 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 Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend 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.
*** After expense reimbursement, legal fee refund, where applicable. Expense
ratios do not reflect the reduction of custodian fee credits earned on the
Fund's net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and
expenses incurred on assets attributable to Preferred shares.
(a) For the period April 28, 2009 (commencement of operations) through
September 30, 2009.
(b) The expense ratios in the above table reflect, among other things, the
interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate
certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited
inverse floaters held by the Fund, as described in Footnote 1 - Inverse
Floating Rate Securities.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in
substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its
investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its
continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including
by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory
agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "Independent Board
Members"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering
such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members must
request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such
information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory
agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 27-29, 2009 (the "May
Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each, a
"Board" and each Trustee or Director, a "Board Member") of the Funds (other than
the Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund 2 (the "Municipal Value Fund 2")),
including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved
the continuation of the advisory agreements (each an "Advisory Agreement")
between each Fund (other than the Municipal Value Fund 2) and Nuveen Asset
Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period. In preparation for their
considerations at the May Meeting, such Boards also held a separate meeting on
April 21-22, 2009 (the "April Meeting"). Accordingly, the factors considered and
determinations made regarding the renewals by the Independent Board Members
include those made at the April Meeting. The Municipal Value Fund 2 is a new
Fund. Accordingly, the initial Advisory Agreement between NAM and the Municipal
Value Fund 2 was approved separately at meetings of the Board of such Fund held
on February 27, 2009 and March 16, 2009.
The discussion of the approvals for the Funds other than the Municipal Value
Fund 2 is set forth below in Section I, followed by the discussion in Section II
of the approval for the Municipal Value Fund 2.

NUVEEN NEW YORK MUNICIPAL VALUE FUND, INC.
NUVEEN NEW YORK PERFORMANCE PLUS MUNICIPAL FUND, INC.
NUVEEN NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND
NUVEEN NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND 2
With respect to the Funds listed above (for purposes of this Section I, the
"Funds"), in evaluating the applicable Advisory Agreements (for purposes of this
Section I, the "Advisory Agreements"), the Independent Board Members reviewed a
broad range of information relating to the Funds and NAM, including absolute
performance, fee and expense information for the Funds as well as comparative
performance, fee and expense information for a comparable peer group of funds,
the performance
Nuveen Investments 81
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
information of recognized and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable) of the
Funds, the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes
its wholly owned subsidiaries other than Winslow Capital Management, Inc.
("Winslow Capital"), which was recently acquired in December 2008), and other
information regarding the organization, personnel, and services provided by
NAM. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times
as the need arose during the year and took into account the information provided
at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom. Prior to approving the
renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed the
foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with
management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel describing
applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and met with
independent legal counsel in private sessions without management present. The
Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by independent
legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of NAM, its services and the Funds
resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and
their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in
evaluating the Advisory Agreements. 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 Agreement. 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 NAM's services, including advisory
services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed
materials outlining, among other things, NAM's organization and business; the
types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to 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 reviewing the services provided and the initiatives undertaken during the
past year, the Independent Board Members recognized the severe market turmoil
experienced in the capital markets during recent periods, including sustained
periods of high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. The
Independent Board Members considered NAM's efforts, expertise and other actions
taken to address matters as they arose that impacted the Funds. The Independent
Board Members recognized the role of the Investment Services group which, among
other things, monitors the various positions throughout the Nuveen fund
complex to identify and address any systematic risks. In addition, the Capital
Markets Committee of NAM provides a multi-departmental venue for developing new
policies to mitigate any risks. The Independent Board Members further recognized
NAM's continuous review of the Nuveen funds' investment strategies and mandates
in seeking to continue to refine and improve the investment process for the
funds, particularly in light of market conditions. With respect to closed-end
funds that issued auction rate preferred shares ("ARPs") or that otherwise
utilize
82 Nuveen Investments
leverage, the Independent Board Members noted, in particular, NAM's efforts in
refinancing the preferred shares of such funds frozen by the collapse of the
auction rate market and managing leverage during a period of rapid market
declines, particularly for the non-equity funds. Such efforts included
negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other
sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs,
liquidating portfolio securities during difficult times to meet leverage
ratios, and seeking alternative forms of debt and other leverage that may over
time reduce financing costs associated with ARPs and enable the funds that have
issued ARPs to restore liquidity to ARPs holders. The Independent Board Members
also noted Nuveen's continued commitment and efforts to keep investors and
financial advisers informed as to its progress with the ARPs through, among
other things, conference calls, emails, press releases, information posted on
its website, and telephone calls and in-person meetings with financial
advisers. In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted
the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds,
including, in particular, Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety
of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding
of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations
program to provide timely information and education to financial advisers and
investors; providing advertising and marketing for the closed-end funds;
maintaining websites; and providing educational seminars.
As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the
background, experience and track record of NAM's investment personnel. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel,
and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The
Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager
compensation arrangements to evaluate NAM's ability to attract and retain high
quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not
provide an incentive for taking undue risks.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including
product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers,
shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and
portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of compliance, the
Independent Board Members considered NAM's compliance program, including the
report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies
and procedures.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the
nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to
the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including the
Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with
similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data
provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data as well as recognized
and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable). The Independent Board Members
reviewed performance
Nuveen Investments 83
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
information including, among other things, total return information compared
with the Fund's Performance Peer Group and recognized and/or customized
benchmarks (as applicable) for the quarter-, one-, three-and five-year periods
(as applicable) ending December 31, 2008 and for the same periods (as
applicable) ending March 31, 2009. The Independent Board Members also reviewed
performance information of the Nuveen municipal funds managed by NAM in the
aggregate ranked by peer group and the performance of such funds, in the
aggregate, relative to their benchmark. This information supplemented the Fund
performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
In comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the
Independent Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer
Group in certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund's
investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison
of the fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group. The
Independent Board Members further considered the performance of the Funds in the
context of the volatile market conditions during the past year, and their impact
on various asset classes and the portfolio management of the Funds.
Based on their review and factoring in the severity of market turmoil in 2008,
the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance
over time 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 total expense ratios (before and after expense
reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as compared to
the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based
on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the "Peer
Universe") and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the
Peer Universe (the "Peer Group").
The Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding the
construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group. 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 asset level of a fund relative to peers, the size and particular
composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group, the investment objectives
of the peers, expense anomalies, changes in the funds comprising the Peer
Universe or Peer Group from year to year, levels of reimbursement and the
timing of information used may impact the comparative data, thereby
limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison. In addition, the
Independent Board Members considered, among other things, the differences
in the use and type of leverage compared to the peers. The Independent
Board Members also considered the differences in the states reflected in
the respective Peer Group. 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
84 Nuveen Investments
any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in
particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999).
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the
Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees and
net total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and
quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the
nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients. Such
other clients include NAM's municipal separately managed accounts. 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 products, particularly the extensive services provided
to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the
different levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also
considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities
(which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers other
than Winslow Capital) and its financial condition. The Independent Board
Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities
for the last two 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 2008. In addition,
the Independent Board Members reviewed information regarding the financial
results of Nuveen for 2008 based on its Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2009.
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 had also appointed
an Independent Board Member 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 similar amounts of
assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition
prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the
subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by
numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the
Independent Board Members
Nuveen Investments 85
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
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
Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable
in light of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent
Board Members also considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as
well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any)
NAM 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 NAM 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. In this regard, 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. While economies of scale
result when costs can be spread over a larger asset base, the Independent Board
Members also recognized that the asset levels generally declined in 2008 due to,
among other things, the market downturn. Accordingly, for funds with a reduction
in assets under management, advisory fee levels may have increased as
breakpoints in the fee schedule were no longer surpassed.
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 generally are 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. Generally,
the complex-wide pricing reduces Nuveen's revenue because total complex fund
assets have consistently grown in prior years. As noted, however, total fund
assets declined in 2008 resulting in a smaller downward adjustment of revenues
due to complex-wide pricing compared to the prior year.
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 NAM or its
affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates
of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM
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 NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The
Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar
arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that
occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless
principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends
to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect
benefits received by NAM 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 the Advisory
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
II
NUVEEN NEW YORK MUNICIPAL VALUE FUND 2
The Board is responsible for approving the advisory arrangement of the Municipal
Value Fund 2 (for purposes of this Section II, the "Fund") and, at meetings held
on February 27, 2009 and March 16, 2009 (collectively, for purposes of this
Section II, the "Meeting"), the Board Members, including the Independent Board
Members, considered and approved the investment advisory agreement (for purposes
of this Section II, the "Advisory Agreement") between the Fund and NAM.
To assist the Board in its evaluation of the Advisory Agreement at the Meeting,
the Independent Board Members had received, in adequate time in advance of the
Meeting or at prior meetings, materials which outlined, among other things:
o the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided by NAM;
o the organization of NAM, including the responsibilities of various
departments and key personnel;
o the expertise and background of NAM with respect to the Fund's investment
strategy;
o the performance records of NAM and of certain similar Nuveen funds (as
described below);
o the profitability of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") (which
incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers);
o the proposed management fees of NAM, including comparisons of such fees
with the management fees of comparable, unaffiliated funds, as well as
comparable, affiliated funds;
o the advisory fees NAM assesses to other types of investment products or
clients;
o the expected expenses of the Fund, including comparisons of the Fund's
expected expense ratio with the expense ratios of comparable, unaffiliated
funds, as well as comparable, affiliated funds; and
o the soft dollar practices of NAM, if any.
At the Meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from the
Board. During the Meeting, the Independent Board Members also met privately with
their legal counsel to review the Board's duties under the 1940 Act, the general
principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the
standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of
directors have fulfilled their duties, factors to be considered in voting on
advisory contracts and an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory
agreements and compensation. It is with this background that the Independent
Board Members considered the advisory agreement with NAM for the Fund. As
outlined in more detail below, the Independent Board Members considered all
factors they believed relevant with respect to the Fund, including the
following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by
NAM; (b) investment performance, as described below; (c) the profitability of
Nuveen and its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be
realized; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the
benefit of Fund investors.

A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
The Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's
services, including advisory services and administrative services. As NAM
already serves as adviser to other Nuveen funds overseen by the Board Members,
the Board has a good understanding of NAM's organization, operations and
personnel. As the Independent Board Members meet regularly throughout the year
to oversee the Nuveen funds, including funds currently advised by NAM, the
Independent Board Members have relied upon their knowledge from their meetings
and any other interactions throughout the year of NAM and its services in
evaluating the Advisory Agreement.
At the Meeting and at prior meetings, the Independent Board Members reviewed
materials outlining, among other things, Nuveen's organization and business;
the types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide to the Nuveen funds and
are expected to provide to the Fund; and NAM's experience with applicable
investment strategies. The Independent Board Members further evaluated the
professional experience, qualifications and credentials of NAM's investment
personnel.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of any administrative or non-advisory services to be provided. In this
regard, NAM is expected to provide the Fund with such administrative and other
services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others
for the Fund) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the
operations of the Fund. In addition to investment management services, NAM and
its affiliates will provide the Fund with a wide range of services, including,
among other things, product management, fund administration, oversight of
service providers, shareholder services, administration of Board relations,
regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support.
In addition to the foregoing services, the Independent Board Members also noted
the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds,
including, in particular, its secondary market support activities and the costs
of such activities. The Independent Board Members have recognized Nuveen's
continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of
its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor
and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts
include maintaining an investor relations program to timely provide
information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing
advertising and marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining its closed-end
fund website; and providing educational seminars.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the
nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Fund under
the Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
B. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
The Fund is new and therefore does not have its own performance history.
However, the Independent Board Members are familiar with NAM's performance
record on other Nuveen funds, and the Fund is expected to employ a substantially
similar investment philosophy and strategies that have guided two other Nuveen
state municipal closed-
Nuveen Investments 89
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
end funds (specifically, the Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NNY)
and the Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NCA)). Accordingly, the
Board Members were provided with certain performance information for these
comparable funds, including calendar year total returns for the years 2000
through 2008.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
In evaluating the management fees and expenses that the Fund was expected
to bear, the Independent Board Members considered, among other things, the
Fund's proposed management fee structure and its expected expense ratios
in absolute terms as well as compared with the fees and expense ratios of
comparable, unaffiliated funds and comparable, affiliated funds. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members noted the limited universe of
municipal funds with an unleveraged capital structure, and the even more
limited universe of state municipal funds with an unleveraged capital
structure (i.e., none other than for the states of California and New
York), which made it difficult to make peer group comparisons.
In addition, the Fund was not expected to issue preferred shares or debt
instruments; however, the Board Members noted that the Fund may make
investments in inverse floating rate securities (including inverse
floating rate securities representing interests in so-called "tender
option bond trusts" formed by third-party sponsors for the purpose of
holding municipal bonds). The Independent Board Members recognized that
assets financed through the creation of tender option bond trusts in which
the Fund may invest or other financial leverage used would be included in
the amount of assets upon which the advisory fee is calculated. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members noted that the advisory fee is based
on a percentage of average daily "Managed Assets." "Managed Assets"
generally means the total assets of the Fund (including assets
attributable to the Fund's use of financial leverage such as, but not
limited to, proceeds from tender option bond trusts) minus the sum of
accrued liabilities (other than Fund liabilities incurred for the express
purpose of creating financial leverage). Accordingly, the advisory fees
paid to NAM for investment advisory services will be higher if the Fund
uses financial leverage, which may create a conflict of interest between
NAM and the Fund's shareholders. This methodology is consistent with
that used on Nuveen taxable leveraged funds and a Nuveen national
municipal closed-end fund with a similar capital structure. The
Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level breakpoint
schedule and the complex-wide breakpoint schedule (described in further
detail below) and any applicable expense reimbursements to be provided.
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the
Independent Board Members determined that the Fund's management fees and
net total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and
quality of services to be provided to the Fund.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
Due to their experience with other Nuveen funds, the Board Members were
familiar with the fees NAM assesses to other clients of Nuveen or its
affiliates, including NAM's municipal separately managed accounts. In
evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members have
noted, at the Meeting or at prior
90 Nuveen Investments
meetings, that the fee rates charged to a fund (such as the Fund) and
charged to 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
Fund. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members have considered the
differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the
services to be provided, the structure and operations, product
distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor
profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board
Members have noted, in particular, that the range of services as described
above to be provided to a fund (such as the Fund) is much more extensive
than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent
differences in the products, particularly the extensive services to be
provided to a fund, the Independent Board Members believe such facts
justify the different levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN
In conjunction with its review of fees at prior meetings, the Independent
Board Members have considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory
activities (which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated
sub-advisers) and its financial condition. At the Meeting or prior
meetings, the Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses
of Nuveen's advisory activities and the allocation methodology used in
preparing the profitability data.
The Independent Board Members have also considered, at the Meeting or at
prior meetings, Nuveen's profitability compared with other fund sponsors
prepared by two independent third party service providers as well as
comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various
unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under
management prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members have recognized
the subjective nature of determining profitability, which may be affected
by numerous factors, including the allocation of expenses. Further, the
Independent Board Members have 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. The Independent Board Members further
received the Form 8-K of Nuveen for the quarter ending September 30, 2008.
Based on its review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen's
level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light
of the services to be provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent
Board Members also considered any other amounts expected to be paid to NAM
as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if
any) NAM and its affiliates are expected to receive that are directly
attributable to their management of the Fund, if any. See Section E below
for additional information on indirect benefits NAM may
Nuveen Investments 91
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. Based on their
review of the overall fee arrangements of the Fund, the Independent Board
Members determined that the advisory fees and expected expenses of the
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 recognized the
potential benefits resulting from the costs of the Fund being spread over a
larger asset base. The Independent Board Members therefore considered whether
the Fund could be expected to benefit from any economies of scale. In
considering economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized
that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, one method to help ensure that shareholders share
in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule.
Accordingly, the Independent Board Members received and reviewed the schedule of
proposed advisory fees for the Fund, including the fund-level breakpoints
thereto. In this regard, given that the Fund is a closed-end fund, the
Independent Board Members recognized that although the Fund may from time to
time make additional share offerings, the growth in its assets will occur
primarily through appreciation of its investment portfolio.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered
the Fund's complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee
arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Fund,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Independent Board Members have
considered that 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. Based on their
review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedule and
complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and desirable in providing benefits
from economies of scale to shareholders of the Fund.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members also considered information
regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits NAM or its affiliates may
receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. In this regard, the
Independent Board Members considered the revenues received by affiliates of
NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's preferred trading desk and for serving as a
co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange traded
funds.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM
will receive any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by the Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that
may be useful to NAM in managing the assets of the Fund and other clients. The
Independent Board
92 Nuveen Investments
Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements;
however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that occur on
markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless principal
transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends to comply
with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect
benefits received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Fund were
reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. APPROVAL
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed
previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including a
majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the terms of the
Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in
light of the services to be provided to the Fund and that the Advisory Agreement
should be and was approved on behalf of the Fund.

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 DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains 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 tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or 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 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.
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. 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 the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price
94 Nuveen Investments
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.
FLEXIBLE
You may 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 reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment 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.

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report
o AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed," with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
o AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time
period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year
to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including
change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments
or the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
o DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond's
principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the
sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes when market
interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's duration,
the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates
change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging
process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's
portfolio of bonds.
o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse
floaters, are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a
fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates
typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in
amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or
market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate
(sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") to an investor (such as a
Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal
bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies
inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates'
holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears
substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk. The
holder of the inverse floater typi-
96 Nuveen Investments
cally also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of
the underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially
represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund
NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
o PRE-REFUNDING: Pre-refunding, also known as advanced refundings or
refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to
refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new
bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury
securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the
higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally
raises a bond's credit rating and thus its value.
o TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
investment.
o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest
coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to
the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the
original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the
bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of
zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of
bonds that pay interest periodically.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a
code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or
persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers
from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has
posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/CEF/Info/Shareholder.
(To view the code, click on Fund Governance and then click on Code of Conduct.)
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees ("Board") determined that the
registrant has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in
Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit
committee financial expert is Jack B. Evans, who is "independent" for purposes
of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial
Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment
adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer,
Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and
actively supervised the CFO's preparation of financial statements and other
filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was
actively involved in the preparation of SCI's financial statements and the
resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served
on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund 2
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For
engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all
audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the
Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval
exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The
pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the
pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest
services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes
no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its
accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the
Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the
engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's
attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the
audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its
Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to
Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling,

full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit
Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP
provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the
engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting
(except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The
Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about
any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last
fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The
Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's
independence.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit
Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund
by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services
to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts
greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under
$10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at
the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under
$5,000.
ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
The registrant's Board has a separately designated Audit Committee established
in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The members of the audit committee are
Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, Terence J. Toth, William J. Schneider and
David J. Kundert.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
a) See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
b) Not applicable.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash
management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or
through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer
whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are
expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of
acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the
municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or
facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit
problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer,
NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail
negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and
otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such
activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but
nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board on its control
activities on a quarterly basis.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the
registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM
would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should
be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of
the registrant's Board or its representative. A member of NAM's legal department
would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that records were
maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed with the SEC on
Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board and made available
to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day
implementation of the registrant's investment strategies:
NAME FUND
Cathryn P. Steeves Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund 2
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio
manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of
the following accounts:
TYPE OF ACCOUNT NUMBER OF
PORTFOLIO MANAGER MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cathryn P. Steeves Registered Investment Company 44 $8246 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0
Other Accounts 0 $0
* Assets are as of September 30, 2009. None of the assets in these accounts
are subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic
elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The
compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation, including
these three elements, to the market in order to create a compensation structure
that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As
discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio
manager's total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among
others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the
portfolio manager's investment team, the investment performance of the accounts
managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM). Although investment performance
is a factor in determining the portfolio manager's compensation, it is not
necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager's performance is evaluated
in part by comparing manager's performance against a specified investment
benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds
in each Fund's specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by
managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing,
Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2
million. As of September 30, 2009, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index
was comprised of 54,220 securities with an aggregate current market value of
$1,130 billion.
Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level
determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed
above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a
portfolio manager's base salary.
Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations made
by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his
peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of
factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to
the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves
as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts,
his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and
their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and
to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also
impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its
business objectives.
Long-term incentive compensation. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen
Investments by a group of investors led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC in
November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit
interests in the parent company of Nuveen Investments. These profit interests
entitle the holders to participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen
Investments beyond the issue date and vest over five to seven years, or earlier
in the case of a liquidity event. In addition, in July 2009, Nuveen Investments
created and funded a trust, as part of a newly-established incentive program,
which purchased shares of certain Nuveen Mutual Funds and awarded such shares,
subject to vesting, to certain employees, including portfolio managers.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous management
of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or
apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of
securities orders placed on behalf of the registrant and the other account. NAM,
however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that
the NAM has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of
interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are
designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for
portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation
of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a
non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account
performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager, although the
allocation procedures may provide allocation preferences to funds with special
characteristics (such as favoring state funds versus national funds for
allocations of in-state bonds). In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct
that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of September 30, 2009, the portfolio
manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities
issued by the registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal
investment team.
