Chairman's
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
| Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board
Dear Shareholders,
I'd like to use my initial letter to you to accomplish several things. First, I
want to report that after fourteen years of service on your Fund's Board,
including the last twelve as chairman, Tim Schwertfeger retired from the Board
in June. The Board has elected me to replace him as the chairman, the first time
this role has been filled by someone who is not an employee of Nuveen
Investments. Electing an independent chairman marks a significant milestone in
the management of your Fund, and it aligns us with what is now considered a
"best practice" in the fund industry. Further, it demonstrates the independence
with which your Board has always acted on your behalf.
Following Tim will not be easy. During my eleven previous years on the Nuveen
Fund Board, I found that Tim always set a very high standard by combining
insightful industry and market knowledge and sound, clear judgment. While the
Board will miss his wise counsel, I am certain we will retain the primary
commitment Tim shared with all of us - an unceasing dedication to creating and
retaining value for Nuveen Fund shareholders. This focus on value over time is a
touchstone that I and all the other Board members will continue to use when
making decisions on your behalf.
Second, I also want to report that we are very fortunate to welcome two new
Board members to our team. John Amboian, the current chairman and CEO of Nuveen
Investments, has replaced Tim as Nuveen's representative on the Board. John's
presence will allow the independent Board members to benefit not only from his
leadership role at Nuveen but also his broad understanding of the fund industry
and Nuveen's role within it. We also added Terry Toth as an independent
director. A former CEO of the Northern Trust Company's asset management group,
Terry will bring extensive experience in the fund industry to our deliberations.
Third, on behalf of the entire Board, I would like you to know that we are
closely monitoring the unprecedented market developments and their distressing
impact on the Funds. We believe that these Funds continue to be actively and
constructively managed for the long term and at the same time we are very aware
that these are trying times for our investors. We appreciate the patience you
have shown with the Board and with Nuveen Investments as they manage your
investment through this extremely difficult period.
Finally, I urge you to take the time to review the Portfolio Managers' Comments,
the Dividend and Share Price Information, and the Performance Overview sections
of this report. All of us are grateful that you have chosen Nuveen Investments
as a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and, on behalf of myself and
the other members of your Fund's Board, let me say we look forward to continuing
to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

Portfolio Managers' COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NUV, NMI
Portfolio managers Tom Spalding, John Miller and Johnathan Wilhelm discuss U.S.
economic and municipal market conditions, key investment strategies, and the
twelve-month performance of NUV and NMI. With thirty-two years of investment
experience at Nuveen, Tom has managed NUV since its inception in 1987. John, who
has fifteen years of municipal market experience, including twelve years with
Nuveen, assumed portfolio management responsibility for NMI in 2001. In December
2007, John was joined by co-portfolio manager Johnathan, who came to Nuveen in
2001 with eighteen years of industry experience.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE
TWELVE-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2008?
During this period, stress in the financial and credit markets led to increased
price volatility for many securities, reduced liquidity and a general flight to
quality. The Federal Reserve (Fed) began in September 2007 a series of interest
rate cuts that lowered the fed funds rate by 325 basis points--from 5.25% to
2.00%--over an eight-month period ending April 2008. In October 2008, the Fed
announced two additional reductions of 50 basis points each, bringing the fed
funds rate to 1.00%, its lowest level since 2003. (On December 16, after the end
of this twelve-month period, the Fed reduced the fed funds rate target to 0.25%
or less.)
The Fed's rate-cutting actions also were a response to concerns about the pace
of U.S. economic growth, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).
After declining at an annual rate of 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2007, GDP
improved to a positive 0.9% in the first quarter of 2008 and posted growth of
2.8% in the second quarter of 2008 (all GDP numbers annualized). During the
third quarter of 2008, however, GDP contracted at an annual rate of 0.5%, the
biggest decrease since 2001, mainly as the result of the first decline in
consumer spending since 1991 and an 18% drop in residential investment. The
Consumer Price Index (CPI), driven largely by increased energy, food and
transportation prices, registered a 3.7% year-over-year gain as of October 2008,
while the core CPI (which excludes food and energy) rose 2.2% over this same
period, above the Fed's unofficial target of 2.0% or lower. In the labor
markets, October 2008 marked the tenth consecutive month of job losses. The
national unemployment rate for October 2008 was 6.5%, its highest point in more
than fourteen years, up from 4.8% in October 2007.
In the municipal bond market, performance was significantly impacted by concerns
about the credit markets, downgrades of municipal bond insurers, the freeze-up
of the auction rate market, and institutional investors' need to unwind various
leveraging strategies. These events created surges of selling pressure,
especially in late

September and early October 2008. While some investors curtailed purchases,
non-traditional buyers of municipal bonds such as hedge funds, traditional
buyers such as tax-exempt money market funds, and institutions were forced to
sell holdings of longer-maturity bonds into a market already experiencing
reduced liquidity.
Combined with the Fed rate cuts, this selling produced a sharp steepening of the
municipal yield curve, as longer-term interest rates rose and short-term rates
declined over this period. In this environment, bonds with shorter maturities
generally outperformed longer maturity bonds, and higher quality bonds tended to
outperform lower quality credits.
Another item of note in the municipal market was the U.S. Supreme Court's May
2008 ruling that individual states could continue to offer their residents
special tax treatment on municipal bonds issued within their borders. The high
court's decision preserved tax rules in forty-two states, allowing them to
continue to exempt from taxation the income their residents earn on in-state
municipal bonds while taxing the income earned on municipal bonds issued in
other states.
Over the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, municipal bond issuance
nationwide totaled $450.3 billion, a drop of 8% from the previous twelve months.
In 2008, insured bonds comprised less than 20% of new supply, compared with the
recent historical figure of approximately 50%. While market conditions during
this period impacted the demand for municipal bonds, we continued to see demand
from investors attracted by higher interest rates and yields relative to taxable
bonds.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE NUV AND NMI DURING THIS REPORTING
PERIOD?
During this twelve-month period, with the municipal market characterized by
volatility and a relatively steep yield curve, we sought to capitalize on a
turbulent environment by continuing to focus on relative value and investing for
the long term, preserving and enhancing liquidity, and managing duration(1)
risk.
As events in the general financial markets unfolded, we found attractive
opportunities in various sectors of the municipal market, using a fundamental
approach to identify undervalued sectors and individual credits with the
potential to perform well over the long term. In NUV, some portfolio activity
also was driven by our efforts to boost liquidity or cash reserves. Especially
during the commotion of September and October, we believed that it was prudent
to take defensive measures that would reduce exposure to market risk. These
measures included selectively selling some holdings and raising cash reserves.
In addition to selling credits with shorter durations, including a few
pre-refunded(2) bonds, we also took advantage of strong bids to sell bonds that
were attractive to the retail market. Given the market environment, retail
demand was often strongest for higher credit quality bonds. At all times, we
were careful to balance our efforts to enhance liquidity through sales to the
retail market with our focus on maintaining the credit quality of our portfolios
in an uncertain market. Some of our new purchases also were funded by
reinvesting the proceeds from called or matured bonds.
(1) Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
(2) Pre-refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
5
In NMI, our primary emphasis remained on bottom-up credit analysis and
selection. During this period, we continued to find opportunities to add health
care bonds, a sector that we found attractive in the current market environment
due to its long-term value potential. To fund these purchases, NMI sold selected
bonds, including a Florida community development district credit; reduced
exposure to California general obligation (GO) bonds; and reinvested proceeds
from bond calls. Our decision to sell some of our California GO holdings was
based on the state's weaker economy, resultant declines in revenue and the
anticipation of larger issues of California GOs with more attractive yields in
the near future.
As a key dimension of risk management, a disciplined approach to duration
positioning remained an important component of our management strategies. As
part of this approach, we used inverse floating rate securities(3), a type of
derivative financial instrument, in both NUV and NMI during this period. Inverse
floaters typically provide the dual benefit of bringing the Funds' durations
closer to our strategic target and enhancing their income-generation
capabilities. NMI also invested in additional types of derivatives during this
period. The goal was to help manage net asset value (NAV) volatility without
having a negative impact on income streams or dividends over the short term.
HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?
Individual results for these Funds, as well as relevant index and peer group
information, are presented in the accompanying table.
Annualized Total Returns on Net Asset Value
For periods ended 10/31/08
1-Year 5-Year 10-Year
NUV -10.51% 2.28% 3.46%
NMI -9.53% 2.55% 2.87%
Lipper General and

Barclays Capital
Municipal
Bond Index(5) -3.30% 2.73% 4.14%
S&P National
Municipal Bond Index(6) -4.15% 2.75% N/A
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2008, the total returns on net asset
value (NAV) for both NUV and NMI underperformed the return on the Lipper General
and Insured Unleveraged Municipal Debt Funds Average, the Barclays Capital
Municipal Bond Index and the Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond
Index.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns included duration
positioning, the use of derivatives, credit exposure and sector allocations.
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.

Fund in this report.
(3) An inverse floating rate security 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 shareholder report.
(4) The Lipper General and Insured Unleveraged Municipal Debt Funds Average is
calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for
each period as follows: 1 year, 8 funds; 5 years, 7 funds; and 10 years, 7
funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.
(5) The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index comprising a broad range of
investment-grade municipal bonds. Results for the Barclays Capital index do
not reflect any expenses.
(6) The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
performance of the investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market.

Given the changes in the interest rate environment during this period, bonds in
the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities of ten years or less
outperformed the market as a whole, with bonds maturing in one to six years
benefiting the most. Because they were less sensitive to interest rate changes,
these shorter bonds generally outperformed credits with longer maturities, with
the biggest losses posted by bonds with the longest maturities (twenty-two years
and longer). In general, the greater a Fund's exposure to the underperforming
longer part of the yield curve during this period, the greater the negative
impact on the Fund's return. Overall, NMI, which had a shorter duration than
NUV, was the better positioned of these two Funds in terms of duration.
As mentioned earlier, NUV and NMI used inverse floaters during this period to
help bring their durations closer to our strategic target and enhance
income-generation capabilities. In general, these inverse floaters detracted
from performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse floaters
effectively increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds at a time
when shorter maturities were in favor in the market.
Credit exposure, including exposure to bonds backed by municipal bond insurers,
also was a factor in performance during this period. Because risk-averse
investors generally sought higher quality investments as disruptions in the
financial markets deepened, bonds with higher credit quality ratings typically
performed very well. However, insured bonds with underlying credits that were
rated BBB or non-rated, originally purchased because of the higher yields they
offered, experienced a disproportionately negative impact (compared with bonds
with underlying credits rated AA or A) if the insurer backing the bond was
downgraded from AAA. As many investors avoided high-yield securities, bonds
rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally posted poor returns. As of
October 31, 2008, allocations of bonds rated BBB accounted for approximately 12%
of NUV's portfolio and 26% of NMI, with both Funds allocating an additional 7%
and 6%, respectively, to bonds rated BB or lower (below investment-grade
quality). NMI also held approximately 11% of its portfolio in non-rated bonds,
while NUV allocated less than 1% to this credit category. The Funds' lower-rated
credit exposure, which was generally higher than that of the Barclays Capital
Municipal Bond Index, was a negative influence on the Funds' returns for this
period. Conversely, the Funds' weightings in bonds rated AAA were generally
positive for performance.
Sectors of the market that generally helped the Funds' performances included
general obligation bonds, resource recovery, water and sewer and utilities.
Pre-refunded bonds, which are usually backed by U.S. Treasury securities, were
one of the top performing segments of the market, due primarily to their shorter
effective maturities, higher credit quality, and perceived safety. Holdings of
pre-refunded bonds accounted for 23% of NUV's portfolio and 16% of NMI.
In general, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector, posted
weak performance. Revenue bonds as a whole, and the industrial development
revenue (IDR) sector in particular, underperformed the general municipal market.
Next to the IDR sector, zero coupon bonds were among the worst performing
categories, followed by the health care and housing sectors. NMI, in particular,
was very heavily weighted in health care bonds.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Beginning in October, the nation's financial institutions and financial
markets--including the municipal bond market--experienced significant turmoil.
Reductions in demand decreased valuations of municipal bonds across all credit
ratings, especially those with lower credit ratings, and this generally reduced
the Funds' net asset values. The municipal market is one in which dealer firms
make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and
during the recent market turmoil these firms'capital was severely constrained.
As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and
to serve as a dealer for municipal bonds. This reduction in dealer involvement
in the market was accompanied by significant net selling pressure by investors,
particularly with respect to lower-rated municipal bonds, as institutional
investors generally removed money from the municipal bond market, at least in
part because of their need to reduce the leveraging of their municipal
investments. This de-leveraging was in part driven by the overall reduction in
the amount of financing available for such leverage, the increased costs of such
leverage financing, and the need to reduce leverage levels that had recently
increased due to the decline in municipal bond prices.
Municipal bond prices were further negatively impacted by concerns that the need
for further de-leveraging and a supply overhang as a large amount of new issues
were postponed would cause selling pressure to persist for a period of time. In
addition to falling prices, these market conditions resulted in greater price
volatility of municipal bonds; wider credit spreads (i.e., lower quality bonds
fell in price more than higher quality bonds); significantly reduced liquidity
(i.e., the ability to sell bonds at a price close to their carrying value),
particularly for lower quality bonds; and a lack of price transparency (i.e.,
the ability to accurately determine the price at which a bond would likely
trade). Reduced liquidity was most pronounced in mid-October, and although
liquidity improved considerably over ensuing weeks, it may reoccur if financial
turmoil persists or worsens.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
As mentioned earlier, another factor that had an impact on the performance of
these Funds was their position in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that
experienced downgrades in their credit ratings. During the period covered by
this report, ACA, AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA (formerly XLCA)
experienced one or more rating reductions by at least one or more rating
agencies. Subsequent to the reporting period, AMBAC, MBIA and SYNCORA
experienced further rating reductions while AGC and FSA received their first
rating reductions by at least one rating agency. At the time this report was
prepared, at least one rating agency has placed each of these insurers except
AGC on "negative outlook" or "negative credit watch," which may presage one or
more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. As concern
increased about the balance sheets of these insurers, prices on bonds insured by
these companies - especially those bonds with weaker underlying credits -
declined, detracting from the Funds' performance. By the end of this period,
most insured bonds were being valued according to their fundamentals as if they
were uninsured. On the whole, the holdings of all of our Funds continued to be
well diversified not only between insured and uninsured bonds, but also within
the insured bond category. It is important to note that municipal bonds
historically have had a very low rate of default.

Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
The dividends of both NUV and NMI remained stable throughout the twelve-month
reporting period ended October 31, 2008.
Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders
of NUV received a long-term capital gains distribution of $0.0283 per share and
an ordinary income distribution of $0.0017 per share at the end of December
2007.
Both NUV and NMI 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 October 31, 2008, NUV and NMI had positive UNII
balances for both tax and financial statement purposes.
The Funds' Board of Directors approved an open-market share repurchase program
on July 30, 2008, under which each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its common
shares. As of October 31, 2008, the Funds had not repurchased any of their
outstanding common shares.
As of October 31, 2008, the Funds' share prices were trading at premiums or
discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:

Report of
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
NUVEEN MUNICIPAL VALUE FUND, INC.
NUVEEN MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc. and Nuveen
Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the "Funds") as of October 31, 2008, and the
related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of
changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.
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 October 31, 2008, 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 Municipal Value Fund, Inc. and Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. at
October 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended,
changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,
and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month
and year) and prices of the earliest optional call or
redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying
prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities
may be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered
public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard &
Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's are considered to be
below investment grade.
The Portfolio of Investments may reflect the rating on
certain bonds insured by ACA, AGC, AMBAC, FGIC, FSA, MBIA,
RAAI and SYNCORA as of October 31, 2008. Please see the
Portfolio Managers' Commentary for an expanded discussion of
the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of certain
bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings
of the underlying insurers both during the period and after
period end.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has
variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a
short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect
at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes
periodically based on market conditions or a specified
market index.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange
symbols are Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NUV) and Nuveen Municipal Income
Fund, Inc. (NMI) (collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end, diversified
management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax
by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations
issued by state and local government authorities or certain U.S. territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
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. When market
price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on yields or
prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity
and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions.
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. If the pricing
service is unable to supply a price for an investment or derivative instrument,
each Fund may use market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such
investments. If it is determined that the market price for an investment or
derivative instrument is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors of
the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair value in accordance with
procedures established in good faith by the Board of Directors. 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 October 31, 2008,
Municipal Value (NUV) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase
commitments of $4,786,850. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments
in Municipal Income (NMI).
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.
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 income tax, 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.
Effective April 30, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN
48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax expense in the current year.
37
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. 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). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the fiscal year ended October 31,
2008.
The Funds are 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 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 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 U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
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 an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (SFAS No.
140) "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited
into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an
"Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust", 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 the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate
certificates is included as a component of "Interest expense on floating rate
obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
38
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 included as "Unrealized
depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self deposited inverse floaters.
At October 31, 2008, each Fund's maximum exposure to externally-deposited
Recourse Trusts, if any, is as follows:
MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL
VALUE (NUV) INCOME (NMI)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximum exposure $19,500,000 $3,005,000
================================================================================
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2008, were as follows:
MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL
VALUE (NUV) INCOME (NMI)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Average floating rate obligations $31,948,716 $3,314,781
Average annual interest rate and fees 2.73% 2.75%
================================================================================
Futures Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to invest in futures contracts. 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." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. 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. Cash held by the broker to cover
initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized on
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin, when
applicable. Municipal Income (NMI) was the only Fund to invest in futures
contracts during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.
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.
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.
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 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.
39
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.
2. FUND SHARES
On July 30, 2008, the Funds' Board of Directors approved a program under which
each Fund may repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its
outstanding shares. The Funds did not repurchase any of their shares during the
fiscal year ended October 31, 2008.
Transactions in shares were as follows:

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales (including maturities but excluding short-term investments
and derivative transactions) during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, were
as follows:
MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchases $303,478,614 $7,391,720
Sales and maturities 357,238,678 7,102,495
================================================================================
4. 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 timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investments
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
transactions subject to SFAS No. 140. 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 October 31, 2008, the cost of investments was as follows:
MUNICIPAL MUNICIPAL

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), a specific fund-level component, based only on the
amount of assets within each individual Fund, and for Municipal Value (NUV) 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.
Municipal Value's (NUV) annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, at the rates set
forth below, are based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund as follows:
MUNICIPAL VALUE (NUV)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $500 million .1500%
For the next $500 million .1250
For net assets over $1 billion .1000
================================================================================
In addition, Municipal Value (NUV) pays an annual management fee, payable
monthly, based on 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) as follows:
MUNICIPAL VALUE (NUV)
GROSS INTEREST INCOME GROSS INCOME FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $50 million 4.125%
For the next $50 million 4.000
For gross income over $100 million 3.875
================================================================================
Municipal Income's (NMI) annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, at the rates
set forth below, are based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund as
follows:
MUNICIPAL INCOME (NMI)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS 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 $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750
================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee and Municipal Value's (NUV) gross interest income fee, for all
Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total
fund assets managed as stated in the following table. As of October 31, 2008,
the complex-level fee rate was .1998%.
42
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989
$60 billion .1961
$63 billion .1931
$66 billion .1900
$71 billion .1851
$76 billion .1806
$80 billion .1773
$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level component of the management fee for the Funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all Nuveen Funds,
with such daily net assets to include assets attributable to preferred
stock issued by or borrowings by such Funds but to exclude assets
attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds.
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 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 has
adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Directors that enables
Directors 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.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157 (SFAS No. 157)
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This
standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already
required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally
accepted accounting principles from the application of this standard relate to
the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of October 31, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required
about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of
the measurements included within the Statement of Operations for the period.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161 (SFASNo. 161)
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of October 31, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be
required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

* 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 takes 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 Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in 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 custodian fee credit and legal fee refund, where applicable.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

49
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 28-29, 2008 (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, including
a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the
continuation of the advisory agreement (each, an "Advisory Agreement") between
each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held
a separate meeting on April 23, 2008 (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.
In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, as described in further
detail below, 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
information of recognized benchmarks (as applicable), the profitability of
Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned
subsidiaries), 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. With respect to personnel, the Independent Board Members
evaluated the background, experience and track record of NAM's
50
investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered
the additional investment in personnel to support Nuveen fund advisory
activities, including in operations, product management and marketing as well as
related fund support functions, including sales, executive, finance, human
resources and information technology. 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.
In evaluating the services of NAM, the Independent Board Members also considered
NAM's ability to supervise the Funds' other service providers and given the
importance of compliance, NAM's compliance program. Among other things, the
Independent Board Members considered the report of the chief compliance officer
regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures.
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.
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 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. With respect to closed-end funds that utilize
leverage through the issuance of auction rate preferred securities ("ARPS"), the
Board has recognized the unprecedented market conditions in the auction rate
market industry with the failure of the auction process. The Independent Board
Members noted Nuveen's efforts and the resources and personnel employed to
analyze the situation, explore potential alternatives and develop and implement
solutions that serve the interests of the affected funds and all of their
respective shareholders. The Independent Board Members further noted Nuveen's
commitment and efforts to keep investors and financial advisers informed as to
its progress in addressing the ARPS situation through, among other things,
conference calls, press releases, and information posted on its website as well
as its refinancing activities. The Independent Board Members also noted Nuveen's
continued support for holders of preferred shares of its closed-end funds by,
among other things, seeking distribution for preferred shares with new market
participants, managing relations with remarketing agents and the broker
community, maintaining the leverage and risk management of leverage and
maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency criteria.
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 third party (as described below). The Independent
Board Members also reviewed portfolio level performance (which does not reflect
fund level fees, expenses and leverage), as described in further detail below.
In evaluating the performance information, the Board considered whether the Fund
has operated within its investment objectives and parameters and the impact that
the investment mandates may have had on performance. In addition, 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
51
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
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 reviewed performance information including, among
other things, total return information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer
Group and recognized benchmarks for the one-, three-, and five-year periods (as
applicable) ending December 31, 2007 and with the Performance Peer Group for the
quarter and same yearly periods ending March 31, 2008 (as applicable). The
Independent Board Members also reviewed the Fund's portfolio level performance
(which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses (and leverage for
closed-end funds)) compared to recognized benchmarks for the one-, three-, and
five-year periods ending December 31, 2007 (as applicable). The analysis was
used to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate measures
of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This information
supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of
its quarterly meetings. Based on their review, 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 (which
take into account breakpoints), net management fees (which take into
account fee waivers or reimbursements) and total expense ratios (before and
after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as
compared to the gross management fees, net management fees (after waivers
and/or reimbursements) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers)
of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based on data provided by an
independent data provider (the "Peer Universe") and/or a more focused
subset of funds therein (the "Peer Group"). The Independent Board Members
further reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as
the methods of measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the
performance analysis. 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 size of the Fund relative to
peers, the size and particular composition of the Peer Group, the
investment objectives of the peers, expense anomalies, and the timing of
information used may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the
ability to make a meaningful comparison. The Independent Board Members also
considered, among other things, the differences in the use of leverage and
the differences in the use of insurance, if any. 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 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
52
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) and its
financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues
and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities for the last two years and the
allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data. 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 considered 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 recognized the
subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by
numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the
Independent Board Members 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 Nuveeninvestment in its fund business.
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 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 recognized the
potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger
asset base. The Independent Board Members therefore considered whether the Funds
have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is
potential realization of any further 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, particularly on a
fund-by-fund basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one method to help ensure the
shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory
fee schedule. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered
the fund-level breakpoints in the
53
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees. In this regard, given that the
Funds are closed-end funds, the Independent Board Members recognized that
although the Funds may from time to time make additional share offerings, the
growth in their assets will occur primarily through appreciation of each Fund's
investment portfolio.
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, including the Funds,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Independent Board Members
recognized that the complex-wide fee schedule was recently revised in 2007 to
provide for additional fee savings to shareholders and considered the amended
schedule. The Independent Board Members further 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.
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 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
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.

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 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.
55
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.

NOTES

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities 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 typically 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.
[] 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.
[] MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
[] NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per share is calculated by subtracting
the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the
remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at
the end of each business day.
[] 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.
[] 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/etf. (To view the
code, click on the Shareholder Resources drop down menu box, 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 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.
Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation
of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc.
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).

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

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 of Directors or Trustees 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.
See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
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 of Trustees 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 of Trustees 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 of
Trustees 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
THOMAS SPALDING Nuveen Municipal Value Fund, Inc.
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:
NUMBER OF
PORTFOLIO MANAGER TYPE OF ACCOUNT MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas Spalding Registered Investment Company 11 $6.72 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0
Other Accounts 5 $15 million
* Assets are as of October 31, 2008. 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 October 31, 2008, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was
comprised of 52,959 securities with an aggregate current market value of $1,009
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, Inc., by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners in
November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit
interests in Nuveen's parent. These profit interests entitle the holders to
participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen beyond the issue date and
vest over five to seven years, or earlier in the case of a liquidity event.
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
