Plan Seeks to Enhance Income Potential and Reduce Trading
Discounts
Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment
services to institutions as well as individual investors, today
announced that the Board of Trustees of the Nuveen closed-end funds
approved a plan to merge eight national municipal closed-end funds
and to reposition the portfolios of the two acquiring funds. The
funds will hold special shareholder meetings later this year to
seek approval for those aspects of the plan that require
shareholder approval.
The goal of the proposals is to enhance the funds’
competitiveness and investor appeal and thereby improve the market
price at which the common shares trade relative to net asset value.
The proposals seek to accomplish this by:
- Improving fund net earnings potential
through a broader investment mandate;
- Creating significantly larger funds
that offer greater liquidity and ease of trading; and
- Eliminating overlapping products and
enhancing fund differentiation.
The proposed fund mergers are as follows:
