CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to
institutions and high-net-worth investors, today announced that 107 Nuveen
closed-end funds had declared regular monthly distributions. These funds
represent a broad range of tax-exempt, taxable fixed and floating rate income
investment strategies for investors seeking to build sophisticated and
diversified long-term investment portfolios for cash flow. The funds` monthly
distributions are listed below. 

Monthly distributions from Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds and portfolios
are generally exempt from regular Federal income taxes, and monthly
distributions of single-state municipal funds and portfolios are also exempt
from state and, in some cases, local income taxes for in-state residents. Unless
otherwise stated in the funds' objectives, monthly distributions of the
municipal funds and portfolios may be subject to the Federal Alternative Minimum
Tax for some shareholders. 

Nuveen funds generally seek to pay stable distributions at rates that reflect
each fund`s past results and projected future performance. During certain
periods, each fund may pay distributions 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 cumulatively earned more than it has paid in distributions, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the fund`s net asset value (NAV). Conversely, if a fund has cumulatively
paid distributions 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 distributions to shareholders. The
funds` positive or negative UNII balances are disclosed from time to time in
their periodic shareholder reports, and are also on www.nuveen.com/cef. 

JFP, the Nuveen Tax-Advantaged Floating Rate Fund, has implemented a managed
distribution policy which permits it to include as part of its monthly
distributions supplemental amounts from sources other than net investment
income. This fund currently expects that any supplemental amounts would
represent anticipated portfolio price appreciation over time once financial
market conditions stabilize and prospects begin to improve for the middle market
financial companies in which the fund primarily invests. Because the timing and
extent of any such recovery is presently difficult to assess in light of
continued market volatility and the negative effects on financial companies of
the on-going credit crisis, the fund`s latest monthly distribution is estimated
to contain only net investment income and does not include any supplemental
amounts. 

Because a managed distribution program permits regular distributions from
sources other than net investment income, it is important to understand the
components of a managed distribution and the fund's NAV performance relative to
its distribution rate. JFP posts information and estimates on www.nuveen.com/cef
regarding the sources of distributions and total return performance over various
time periods. In addition, at least in any month in which fund distributions
include supplemental amounts from sources other than net investment income, the
fund will also send this information directly to shareholders. Estimates are for
informational purposes only, and the final determination of the source and tax
characteristics of all distributions paid in 2009 will be made in early 2010 and
reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV at that time. 

In addition, distributions for certain funds investing in real estate investment
trusts (REITs) may later be characterized as capital gains and/or a return of
capital, depending on the character of the dividends reported to each fund after
year-end by REIT securities held by each fund. The Nuveen preferred securities
funds, JTP, JPS and JHP may invest in REITs; a list of funds that are likely to
be affected by re-characterization is posted to www.nuveen.com each January, and
updated tax characteristics are posted to the web site and mailed to
shareholders via form 1099-DIV during the first quarter of the year. 

The following dates apply to today`s distribution declarations:
