PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

The principal businesses of The John Nuveen Company (the "Company") are asset
management and related research, as well as the development, marketing and
distribution of investment products and services for the affluent,
high-net-worth and the institutional market segments. We distribute our
investment products and services, including mutual funds (open-end funds),
exchange-traded funds (closed-end funds), defined portfolios, and separately
managed accounts, to the affluent and high-net-worth market segments through
unaffiliated intermediary firms, broker/dealers, commercial banks, affiliates
of insurance providers, financial planners, accountants, consultants and
investment advisers. We also provide investment products and services to
institutional markets.

The Company's operations are organized around nine subsidiaries including Nuveen
Investments (previously known as John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated), a registered
broker and dealer in securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and
six investment advisory subsidiaries registered under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940. These include Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC"), Nuveen Institutional
Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"), Nuveen Asset Management Inc. ("NAM"), Nuveen Senior
Loan Asset Management Inc. ("NSLAM"), Rittenhouse Financial Services, Inc.
("Rittenhouse") and Symphony Asset Management, LLC ("Symphony"). Nuveen
Investments provides investment product distribution and related services for
the Company's managed funds and defined portfolios. NAC, NIAC and NSLAM provide
investment management for, and administer the business affairs of, the Nuveen
managed funds. NAM, Symphony and Rittenhouse provide investment management
services for individual and institutional managed accounts; Rittenhouse also
acts as sub-adviser and portfolio manager for a mutual fund managed by NIAC. The
Company's other two investment subsidiaries are not registered broker dealers or
investment advisors and do not provide product distribution or investment
management services for the Company.

The Company, headquartered in Chicago, has offices in New York, NY, Irvine, CA,
Radnor, PA, and San Francisco, CA and has sales representatives located
nationally. The Company is the successor to a business formed in 1898 by Mr.
John Nuveen, which served as an underwriter and trader of municipal bonds. This
core business was augmented in 1961 when the Company developed and introduced
its first municipal defined portfolio, which is a fixed portfolio of municipal
securities selected and purchased by the Company and deposited in a trust. The
Company introduced its first municipal mutual fund in 1976, its first municipal
money market fund in 1981, and its first municipal exchange-traded fund in
1987. The Company began providing individual managed account services to
investors in early 1995, sponsored its first equity mutual fund in 1996 and its
first equity defined portfolio in 1997.

On August 31, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of Rittenhouse, which specializes in managing individual
equity and balanced portfolios primarily for high-net-worth individuals served
by financial advisors. Rittenhouse managed approximately $9.1 billion in
predominantly growth equity assets at the acquisition date.

During 1999, the Company expanded its product line by introducing products
comprised of senior secured corporate floating rate loans. On September 17,
1999, the Company completed the sale of its investment banking business to US
Bancorp Piper Jaffray. In conjunction with the sale, the Company no longer
underwrites and distributes municipal and corporate bonds or serves as
remarketing agent for variable rate bonds.

On July 16, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Symphony. Symphony is
an institutional investment manager based in San Francisco. As a result of the
acquisition, the Company's product offerings have expanded to include
alternative investments for

institutional investors designed to reduce risk through market neutral and other
strategies in several equity and fixed-income asset classes. Symphony managed
approximately $4.1 billion in institutional assets at the acquisition date.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 23, 1992, as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The St. Paul Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). John
Nuveen & Co., the predecessor of the Company, had been a wholly owned subsidiary
of St. Paul since 1974. During 1992, St. Paul sold a portion of its ownership
interest in the Company through a public offering. As of the date of this
report, St. Paul owns approximately 77% of the outstanding voting securities of
the Company.

The following series of tables, including Gross Sales of Investment Products,
Net Flows, and Net Assets Under Management provide data which should be helpful
in understanding the Company's investment products and should be referred to
while reading the separate product discussions which follow the tables.

GROSS SALES OF INVESTMENT PRODUCTS

The following table summarizes gross sales for the Company's products for the
past three years, including managed assets and defined portfolios:

NET FLOWS OF INVESTMENT PRODUCTS

The following table summarizes net flows (equal to sales, reinvestments and

NET FLOWS
(IN THOUSANDS)

The following table shows net assets managed by the Company at December 31
for each of the past three years. Defined portfolio assets under surveillance
are not included in net assets under management since the portfolios are not
actively managed and generally generate up-front distribution revenues rather
than ongoing advisory fees.

NET ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
(IN MILLIONS)

PRODUCT DISCUSSIONS

MANAGED ASSETS

OVERVIEW
As of December 31, 2001, the Company offered 39 equity, balanced, taxable
fixed-income, senior loan and municipal mutual funds. These funds are actively
managed and continuously offered to sell their shares at prices based on the
daily net asset values of their portfolios. Daily redemption at net asset value
is offered by 38 of the funds, with one (organized as a closed-end
"interval" fund) offering quarterly redemption. The investment objectives and
asset mixes of the mutual funds vary; however, most are managed with a view
towards reduced risk and tax efficient results for the investor.

The Company offers 30 national and state-specific municipal mutual funds that
invest substantially all of their assets in diversified portfolios of
limited-term, intermediate-term or long-term municipal bonds. During 2000, the
Company merged the Nuveen Flagship Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund into the
Nuveen Municipal Bond Fund and changed the name of the fund to the Nuveen
Intermediate Duration Municipal Bond Fund.

The Company offers 8 mutual funds that invest exclusively in U.S. equities,
international equities, or taxable fixed-income securities, or in portfolios
combining equity with taxable fixed-income or municipal securities.

During 1999, the Company launched the Nuveen Floating Rate Fund, an interval
fund that invests in senior secured floating and adjustable rate loans made by
commercial banks, investment banks, finance companies and other lenders to
commercial and industrial borrowers.

The Company sponsors 81 exchange-traded funds that are actively managed. Of
these funds, 79 funds invest exclusively in municipal securities while one of
the remaining two funds invests in senior loans and the other invests in real
estate. These funds do not continually offer to sell and redeem their shares.
Rather, daily liquidity is provided by the ability to trade the shares of these
funds on the New York or American Stock Exchanges, at prices that may be above
or below the shares' net asset values. The municipal exchange-traded funds
include insured and uninsured national and single-state funds. Most of the
exchange-traded funds have a "leveraged" capital structure; these funds raised
assets through the issuance of both common and preferred stock offerings. The
dividends paid to preferred shareholders are based on short-term tax-free
interest rates, while the proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares are
invested by the funds in longer-term municipal securities. If the preferred
stock dividend rate were to exceed the net rate of return earned by a fund's
investment portfolio for an extended period, the exchange-traded fund's Board
of Directors may consider redeeming the outstanding preferred stock. In
addition, the Fund Board may consider converting a fund from its
exchange-traded status into an open-end fund if the fund persistently trades
on the stock exchange at deep discounts to its net asset value per share.
Either of these situations may negatively affect total assets under management.
During 2001, the 21 new exchange-traded funds issued $1,174 million in
preferred stock.

While most of the exchange-traded funds have perpetual lives, five funds
(referred to as portfolios) representing approximately $833 million in assets
have a finite life and provide for a liquidating distribution of assets to
investors upon reaching fixed termination dates, beginning in the year 2017.

The relative attractiveness of the Company's mutual funds and exchange-traded
funds to investors depends upon many factors, including current and expected
market conditions, the performance histories of the funds, their current yields
and the availability of viable alternatives.

The Company, through its Rittenhouse, NAM, and Symphony subsidiaries, provides
private account investment management services for individuals and
institutions. The Company refers to these products as managed accounts. At
December 31, 2001, Rittenhouse, NAM, and Symphony managed 70%, 16%, and 14% of
these assets, respectively.

Rittenhouse follows a core growth stock strategy that centers generally on
identifying large capitalization companies that are financially strong, are
global leaders in their industries and generally have demonstrated consistent
and predictable above-average long-term growth in earnings and, if applicable,
in dividends. NAM concentrates primarily on the research, selection, and
management of municipal bond portfolios. Symphony manages institutional accounts
designed to reduce risk through market-neutral and other strategies in several
equity and fixed-income asset classes. Rittenhouse manages accounts on both a
discretionary and non-discretionary basis, while NAM and Symphony accounts are
managed on a discretionary basis.

The assets under management of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and managed
accounts are affected by changes in the market values of these assets. Changing
market conditions may cause positive or negative shifts in valuation, and
subsequently in the advisory fees earned from these assets.

Due to the non-strategic nature of our money market funds, the Company decided
to close all of the money market funds effective August 24, 2001. This is not
expected to have a material effect on our business, as the Money Market Fund
assets under management were relatively immaterial.

ADVISORY FEES
NAC, NIAC, NSLAM, NAM, Rittenhouse, and Symphony provide investment management
services to the funds, accounts and portfolios pursuant to investment management
agreements. With respect to mutual funds, the Company receives fees based either
on each fund's average daily net assets or on a combination of the average daily
net assets and gross interest income. With respect to managed accounts,
Rittenhouse, NAM, and Symphony generally receive fees, on a quarterly basis,
based on the value of the assets managed on a particular date, such as the last
calendar day of a quarter, or on the average asset value for the period.
Symphony also receives incentive fees earned on certain institutional accounts
based on the performance of the accounts.

Institutional Capital Corporation ("ICAP") and Columbus Circle Investors ("CCI")
perform portfolio management services on behalf of six of the equity mutual
funds pursuant to sub-advisory agreements with NIAC. Security Capital ("SC")
performs portfolio management services for our real estate based exchange-traded
fund pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with NIAC. Rittenhouse, a subsidiary
of the Company, performs portfolio management services for one of the equity
mutual funds pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement with NIAC.

Advisory fees earned on managed assets for each of the past three years are
shown in the following table:

=====================================

The Company's advisory fee schedules currently provide for maximum annual fees
ranging from .45% to .60% in the case of the municipal mutual funds and .60% to
1.1% in the case of the equity and taxable income mutual funds. Maximum fees in
the case of the exchange-traded funds currently range from .35% to .90% of total
net assets, except with respect to the five finite-life portfolios. The
investment management agreements for the finite-life portfolios provide for
annual advisory fees ranging from .25% to .30%. Additionally, for the three
Dividend Advantage Municipal funds offered in 1999, the twenty Dividend
Advantage Municipal funds offered in 2001 and the real estate (REIT-based) fund
offered in 2001, the investment management agreement specifies that for the
first five years the Company will waive management fees or reimburse other
expenses in an amount equal to .30% so that the total net management fees do not
exceed .35% of total fund net assets for the municipal funds (including
preferred share assets) and .60% of total fund net assets for the REIT fund. In
each case, the management fee schedules provide for reductions in the fee rate
at increased asset levels. For the separately managed accounts, fees are
negotiated and are based primarily on asset size, portfolio complexity and
individual needs. These fees can range from .15% to 1.00% of net asset value
annually.

The Company, through its Symphony subsidiary, earns performance fees for
performance above specifically defined benchmarks. These fees are recognized
only at the performance measurement date contained in the individual account
management agreement. Approximately 80% of the measurement dates fall in the
second half of the year.

The Company pays ICAP, CCI and SC a portfolio advisory fee for sub-advisory
services. The ICAP sub-advisory fee is based on the aggregate amount of
average daily net assets in the four funds they sub-advise plus a supplemental
fee for the assets they manage in the Nuveen European Value Fund. The CCI and
SC sub-advisory fee is based on the aggregate amount of average daily net
assets in the funds they sub-advise. The fee schedules provide for rate
declines when specified asset levels are reached.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

Each managed fund has entered into an investment management agreement with NAC,
NIAC or NSLAM (each, an "Adviser"). Although the specific terms of each
agreement vary, the basic terms are similar. Pursuant to the agreements, the
Adviser provides overall management services to each of the funds, subject to
the supervision of each fund's Board of Directors and in accordance with each
fund's investment objectives and policies. The investment management agreements
are approved initially by fund shareholders and their continuance must be
approved annually by the directors of the respective funds, including a majority
of the directors who are not "interested persons" of the Adviser, as defined in
the Investment Company Act of 1940. Amendments to such agreements typically must
be approved by fund shareholders. Each agreement may be terminated without
penalty by either party upon 60 days written notice, and terminates
automatically upon its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940). Such an "assignment" will take place in the event of a change in control
of the Adviser. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a change in control of
the Adviser would be deemed to occur in the event of certain changes in the
ownership of the Company's voting stock. The termination of all or a portion of
the investment management agreements, for any reason, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.

Each fund bears all expenses associated with its operations, including the costs
associated with the issuance and redemption of securities, where applicable. The
fund does not bear compensation expenses of directors and officers of the fund
who are employed by the Company or its subsidiaries. Some investment management
agreements provide that, to the extent certain enumerated expenses exceed a
specified percentage of a fund's or a portfolio's average net assets for a given
year, the Adviser will absorb such excess through a reduction in the management
fee and, if necessary, pay such expenses so that the year-to-date net expense
will not exceed the specified percentage. In addition, the Company may
voluntarily waive all or a portion of its advisory fee from a fund, and/or
reimburse expenses, for competitive reasons. Reimbursed expenses for mutual
funds and money market funds, including voluntary waivers, totaled $1.5 million
during the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company expects to continue
voluntary waivers in order to keep their products competitive. The amount of
such waivers may be more or less than historical amounts.

Services provided by Rittenhouse, NAM, and Symphony to each of the individual
accounts are also governed by management contracts, which are customized to
suit a particular account. A majority of these contracts and of Rittenhouse and
NAM's assets under management involve investment management services provided
to clients who are participants in "wrap-fee" programs sponsored by
unaffiliated investment advisers or broker/dealers. Such agreements, and the
other investment agreements to which Rittenhouse and NAM are parties, generally
provide that they are terminable without penalty upon written notice by either
party within any specified period. Under the provisions of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 such investment management agreements may not be assigned
to another manager without the client's consent. The term "assignment" is
broadly defined under this Act to include any direct or indirect transfer of
the contract or of a controlling block of the adviser's stock by a security
holder.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT AND RESEARCH

Each Adviser is responsible for the execution of the investment policies of the
various funds or managed accounts it advises. Investment decisions for each fund
or account are made by the portfolio manager responsible for the fund or managed
account. The Company has traditionally had a very low employment turnover rate
for its portfolio managers. The majority of the Company's portfolio managers, as
well as those employed by the sub-advisers, have devoted most of their
professional careers to the analysis, selection and surveillance of the types of
securities held in the funds or accounts they manage.

OVERVIEW OF DISTRIBUTION AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH DISTRIBUTORS

Comments in this distribution overview section apply not only to managed assets
but also to defined portfolios. This information will not be repeated and should
be kept in mind while reading the defined portfolio discussion.

The Company distributes its investment products and services, including mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds, separately managed accounts and defined
portfolios, through registered representatives associated with unaffiliated
national and regional broker/dealers, commercial banks and thrifts,
broker/dealer affiliates of insurance agencies and independent insurance
dealers, financial planners, accountants, and tax consultants (retail
distribution firms). The Company provides investment products and services
directly to the institutional market. The Company's distribution strategy is to
maximize the liquidity and distribution potential of its investment products by
maintaining strong relationships with a broad array of registered
representatives. The Company has well-established relationships with registered
representatives in retail distribution firms throughout the country. These
registered representatives participate to varying degrees in the Company's
marketing programs, depending upon: their interests in distributing investments
provided by the Company; their perceptions of the relative attractiveness of the
Company's managed funds, managed accounts and defined portfolios; the profiles
of their customers and their clients' needs; and the conditions prevalent in
financial markets. Registered representatives may reduce or eliminate their
involvement in marketing the Company's products at any time, or may elect to
emphasize the investment products of competing sponsors, or the proprietary
products of their own firms. Registered representatives may receive compensation
incentives to sell their firm's investment products or may choose to recommend
to their customers investment products sponsored by firms other than the
Company. This decision may be based on such considerations as investment
performance, types and amount of distribution compensation, sales assistance and
administrative service payments and level and quality of customer service. In
addition, a registered representative's ability to distribute the Company's
mutual funds is subject to the continuation of a selling agreement between the
firm with which the representative is affiliated and the Company. A selling
agreement does not obligate the retail distribution firm to sell any specific
amount of products and is typically terminable by either party upon 60 days
notice. Redeemable managed assets held in accounts at Merrill Lynch produced 14%
of consolidated operating revenue in 2001.

The Company employs sales professionals and internal sales assistants who work
closely with individual registered representatives to help them develop their
businesses. The Company's sales professionals regularly visit the firms who
distribute the Company's products to provide product information, explain new
products, services and programs as well as discuss ideas in response to
particular investor needs.

DISTRIBUTION REVENUE

All of the Company's mutual funds have adopted a Flexible Sales Charge Program
which provides investors with alternative ways of purchasing fund shares based
upon their individual needs and preferences.

Class A shares may be purchased at a price equal to the fund's net asset value
plus an up-front sales charge ranging from 2.5% of the public offering price for
limited-term municipal funds to 5.75% for equity. At the maximum sales charge
level, approximately 90% to 95% of the sales charge is typically reallowed as
concessions to retail distribution firms. From time to time, the Company may
reallow all of the sales charge to retail distribution firms or waive the sales
charge and advance a sales commission to such firms in connection with marketing
programs or special promotions. Additionally, purchases of Class A shares which
equal or exceed $1 million may be made without an up-front sales charge, but are
subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") ranging from .75% to 1%
for shares redeemed within 18 months. In order to compensate retail distribution
firms for Class A share sales which are $1 million or greater, the Company
advances a sales commission ranging from .50% to 1% at the time of sale. Class A
shares are also subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 service fee of between .20% and
.25% of assets, which is used to compensate securities dealers for providing
ongoing financial advice and other services to investors. Class B shares may be
purchased at a price equal to the fund's net asset value without an up-front
sales charge. Class B shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 distribution
fee of 75% of assets to compensate the Company for costs incurred in connection
with the sale of such shares, an annual Rule 12b-1 service fee of between .20%
and .25% of assets for the ongoing

services of securities dealers and a CDSC, which declines from 5% to 1%, for
shares redeemed within a period of 5 or 6 years. The Company compensates retail
distribution firms for sales of Class B shares at the time of sale at the rate
of 4% of the amount of Class B shares sold, which represents a sales commission
plus an advance of the first year's annual Rule 12b-1 service fee. Class B
shares convert to Class A shares after they are held for eight years.

Class C shares may be purchased without an up-front sales charge at a price
equal to the fund's net asset value. However, these shares are subject to an
annual Rule 12b-1 distribution fee of .55% to .75% of assets designed to
compensate securities dealers over time for the sale of the fund shares, an
annual Rule 12b-1 service fee of between .20% and .25% of assets used to
compensate securities dealers for providing continuing financial advice and
other services and a 1% CDSC for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
In addition, the Company advances a 1% sales commission to retail distribution
firms at the time of sale and in return, receives the first year's Rule 12b-1
distribution fee and Rule 12b-1 service fee.

Class R shares are available for purchase at a price equal to the fund's net
asset value with no ongoing fees or CDSCs. These shares are available primarily
to clients of fee-based advisers, wrap programs and others under certain limited
circumstances.

The markets for mutual funds are highly competitive, with many participating
sponsors. Based upon the information available, the Company believes that it
held less than a 5% share of the market with respect to net sales of mutual
funds and money market funds in each of the last three years.

Common shares of the exchange-traded funds are initially sold to the public in
offerings that are underwritten by a syndication group. During the year ended
December 31, 2001, there were 21 new offerings issued.

Sales of managed accounts do not impact the Company's distribution revenue since
there are no transaction-based revenues associated with these products.

DEFINED PORTFOLIOS

OVERVIEW

The Company is a major sponsor of defined portfolios. Each defined portfolio
consists of a fixed portfolio of securities selected and purchased by the
Company and deposited in a trust. The trustee of the portfolio is not affiliated
with the Company. Units of undivided beneficial interest on the portfolio are
sold to investors at a price equal to the per unit market price of the
securities deposited in the trust plus a sales charge. Defined portfolios are
not actively managed after the initial deposit. However, certain equity and
taxable fixed-income portfolios may add securities in proportionate amounts of
the same securities already held in order to accommodate additional inflows. New
securities are not added to municipal defined portfolios after the date of
deposit, and may be exchanged or substituted only under extremely limited
circumstances. Securities from the portfolios can only be sold pursuant to the
Company's monitoring program or for the purpose of raising cash to pay for units
that have been redeemed. The proceeds of any security sales must be distributed
to unit holders.

The Company created and introduced its first municipal bond defined portfolio in
1961, and now sponsors nationally diversified and single-state portfolios,
uninsured portfolios, portfolios whose bonds are insured by a third party, and
portfolios of varying average maturities. At December 31, 2001, the Company had
2,338 municipal trusts outstanding with an aggregate market value of $6.6
billion.

In May of 1997, the Company expanded its defined portfolio product line to
include equity and taxable fixed-income defined portfolios. The Company
presently offers portfolios that invest in a wide range of equity sector, index,
thematic, and strategy portfolios as well as corporate debt and treasury
securities. The corporate debt trusts invest in a portfolio consisting primarily
of investment grade corporate debt obligations and zero coupon U.S. Treasury
Obligations. The treasury trusts invest in a laddered portfolio of short and
intermediate-

term U.S. Treasury Obligations. At December 31, 2001, the Company had
approximately 191 equity and taxable fixed-income trusts outstanding with an
aggregate market value of $1.8 billion.

In January of 2002, the Company announced its intention to stop depositing
continuously offered equity and fixed-income defined portfolios by the end of
the first quarter in 2002. The primary reason for the change is the continued
migration of customers to fee-based services away from commission-based
products such as defined portfolios.

DISTRIBUTION REVENUE
Units of the Company's defined portfolios are sold to the public through
financial advisors. For these sales, the Company earns a sales charge based on
the public offering price of the units sold. The Company's distribution
revenues include the sales charge, less an applicable concession to the
distributor firm through which the units were placed. For certain equity
trusts, the Company receives a deferred sales charge over a period of months
following the initial sale date.

The typical sales charge for defined portfolios ranges from 3.30% to 5.95% of
the public offering price (3.41% to 6.33% of the net amount invested), with
reduced sales charges at various sales breakpoints. At the maximum sales charge
level, the dealer concession ranges from 2.10% to 4.63% of the amount invested.

The Company maintains a secondary market for some of the defined portfolios it
sponsors. For transactions in the secondary market, the Company earns a sales
charge less a concession reallowed to dealers. The Company, like any other
unitholder, can also tender units it holds to the defined portfolio trustee for
redemption at their redemption value. The sales charges for fixed income defined
portfolios in the secondary market are established based on the number of years
remaining to maturity for each bond in the defined portfolio.

The following table shows the Company's defined portfolio distribution revenues
during each of the last three years:

DEFINED PORTFOLIO DISTRIBUTION REVENUES
(IN THOUSANDS)

Year Ended December 31,

Secondary 2,506 1,226 1,554
--------------------------------------
Total $13,101 $33,274 $22,845
======================================

The Company also realizes profits or incurs losses when the market price of
securities deposited in a trust exceeds or is less than the original cost of
the securities. After the date of deposit, the Company is the holder of all
units of the particular trust series and will realize profit or incur loss
depending on whether the public offering price increases or decreases before
the units are sold. The Company attempts to manage its exposure to interest
rate fluctuations on the securities held for deposit and on defined portfolio
inventory by, among other practices, coordinating inventory levels to the rate
of sale of various types of trusts and hedging through the use of futures
contracts.

The market for the sale of defined portfolios is relatively concentrated, with
only a few sponsors accounting for a majority of total sales. Based upon the
information available, the Company believes that through current year sales, it
continues to occupy a substantial share of the municipal defined portfolio
market. The Company entered the equity and taxable fixed-income defined
portfolio market in 1997. Consistent with 2000, the Company's equity and taxable
fixed-income market share remains constant at 5% in 2001.

INVESTMENT BANKING

Prior to the sale of the investment banking business in September of 1999,
Nuveen Investments underwrote and distributed municipal and corporate bonds,
traded bonds in the secondary market and served as remarketing agent for
variable rate bonds. The majority of the underwritings were for government and
not-for-profit entities and substantially all of its sales were to institutional
investors including casualty insurance companies, managed municipal bond funds,
sponsors of defined portfolios (including the Company), bank portfolios, trust
departments and other dealers. In addition, the investment banking business did,
on occasion, act as financial adviser and/or broker to municipal or other
not-for-profit issuers with respect to transactions in interest rate swaps,
forward transactions or other investment agreements.

The principal sources of revenue for the investment banking business included
underwriting revenues and management fees derived from negotiated and
competitive bond underwritings, financial advisory fees, remarketing agent fees,
and profits from other principal transactions including secondary market trading
and furnishing investment securities to investment banking clients incidental to
their bond financing transactions.

The following table shows net underwriting revenues, financial advisory fees and
remarketing fees for each of the last three years:

GENERAL BUSINESS DISCUSSIONS

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION

The Company provides individual registered representatives with daily prices,
weekly, monthly and quarterly sales bulletins, monthly product statistical and
performance updates, product education programs, product training seminars, and
promotional programs coordinated with its advertising campaigns. In addition,
the Company regularly coordinates its marketing and promotional efforts with
individual registered representatives. The Company also augments its marketing
efforts through magazine, newspaper and

television advertising, targeted direct mail and telemarketing sales programs
and sponsorship of certain sports and civic activities.

INVENTORY POSITIONS

The Company regularly purchases and holds for resale municipal securities and
defined portfolio units. Inventory positions are recorded at market value and
unrealized gains and losses are reported in the Company's operating results.
The level of inventory maintained by the Company will fluctuate daily and is
dependent upon the need to maintain municipal inventory for future defined
portfolios, and the need to maintain defined portfolio inventory to support
ongoing sales.

The market value of the Company's inventory at December 31 for each of the last
three years and the average daily inventory balances outstanding during each
year are set forth below:

INVENTORY
(IN THOUSANDS)

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2001, the Company had 597 full-time employees. Employees are
compensated with a combination of salary, cash bonus and fringe benefits. In
addition, the Company has sought to retain its key and senior employees through
competitive compensation arrangements, which include equity-based incentive
awards.

COMPETITION

The Company is subject to substantial competition in all aspects of its
business. The registered representatives that distribute the Company's
investment products also distribute numerous competing products, often
including products sponsored by the retail distribution firms where they are
employed. There are relatively few barriers to entry for new investment
management firms. Investment products are sold to the public by broker/dealers,
banks, insurance companies and others, and many competing investment product
sponsors offer a broader array of investment products. Many of these
institutions have substantially greater resources than the Company. In
addition, rapid growth in internet-based investing and trading activity and
financial advisory services offered through electronic means is significantly
altering the landscape in which the Company's distributors compete and the
economics of many of the products and services they offer. The

effect that these continuing changes in the brokerage and investment management
industries will have on the Company and its competitors cannot be predicted. The
Company competes with other providers of products primarily on the basis of the
range of products offered, the investment performance of such products, quality
of service, fees charged, the level and type of broker compensation, the manner
in which such products are marketed and distributed, and the services provided
to registered representatives and investors.

REGULATORY

Nuveen Investments is registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), the NASD Regulation, Inc. and other federal and
state agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Nuveen Investments is subject
to the Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule, designed to enforce minimum
standards regarding the general financial condition and liquidity of a
broker/dealer. Under certain circumstances, this rule may limit the ability of
the Company to make withdrawals of capital and receive dividends from Nuveen
Investments. Nuveen Investments regulatory net capital has consistently exceeded
such minimum net capital requirements. At December 31, 2001, Nuveen Investments
had aggregate net capital, as defined, of approximately $38.5 million, which
exceeded the regulatory minimum by approximately $34.7 million. The securities
industry is one of the most highly regulated in the United States, and failure
to comply with related laws and regulations can result in the revocation of
broker/dealer licenses, the imposition of censures or fines, and the suspension
or expulsion of a firm and/or its employees from the securities business.

Each Adviser is registered with the Commission under the Investment Advisers
Act. Each fund and defined portfolio is registered with the Commission under the
Investment Company Act. Each national fund is qualified for sale (or not
required to be so qualified) in all states in the United States and the District
of Columbia. Each single-state fund is qualified for sale (or not required to be
so qualified) in the state for which it is named and other designated states.
Virtually all aspects of the Company's investment management business are
subject to various federal and state laws and regulations. These laws and
regulations are primarily intended to benefit the investment product holder and
generally grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad administrative powers,
including the power to limit or restrict the Company from carrying on its
investment management business in the event that it fails to comply with such
laws and regulations. In such event, the possible sanctions, which may be
imposed, include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on the
Company's engaging in the investment management business for specified periods
of time, the revocation of the Advisers' registrations as investment advisers or
other censures and fines.

The Company's officers, directors, and employees may, from time to time, own
securities which are also held by one or more of the funds. The Company's
internal policies with respect to individual investments require prior
clearance of all transactions in exchange-traded fund securities and securities
of the Company. The Company also requires employees to report all securities
transactions, and restrict certain transactions so as to avoid the possibility
of conflicts of interest. Additionally, employees of Rittenhouse are subject to
their own internal policies with respect to the pre-clearance of the purchase
or sale of securities held in investor accounts.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company conducts its principal operations through leased offices located at
its Chicago headquarters and in other United States cities. The Company leases
approximately 228,000 square feet of office space across the country.
Management believes that the Company's facilities are adequate to serve its
currently anticipated business needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported most recently in the Form 10-Q for September 30, 2001, a
lawsuit (Civil Action No. 97 C 5255) brought in June, 1996 by certain
shareholders is currently pending in federal district court for the Northern
District of Illinois against Nuveen Advisory. The suit was originally brought
against John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated, Nuveen Advisory, six Nuveen investment
companies (the "Funds") managed by Nuveen Advisory and two of the Funds' former
directors seeking unspecified damages, an injunction and other relief. The suit
also sought certification of a defendant class consisting of all Nuveen-managed
leveraged funds.

The complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class of present and former
shareholders of all Nuveen leveraged investment companies, including the Funds,
which allegedly engaged in certain practices that plaintiffs allege violated
provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and common law. Plaintiffs
alleged, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty and various
misrepresentations and omissions in disclosures in connection with the use and
maintenance of leverage through the issuance and periodic auctioning of
preferred stock and the payment of management and brokerage fees to Nuveen
Advisory and John Nuveen & Co. A similar complaint was filed by the Plaintiffs
at the same time against another major leveraged-fund sponsor and adviser. The
Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify a plaintiff class (which would include
current and former shareholders of all Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds).

On March 30, 1999, the court entered a memorandum opinion and order (1) granting
the Defendants' motion to dismiss all of Plaintiffs' counts against the
defendants other than Nuveen Advisory, (2) granting Nuveen Advisory's motion to
dismiss all of Plaintiffs' counts against it other than breach of fiduciary duty
under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (3) denying the
Plaintiffs' motion to certify a plaintiff class and a defendant class. No appeal
was made by Plaintiffs of this decision, and the remaining Section 36(b) count
against Nuveen Advisory has proceeded through the discovery phase.

As to alleged damages, Plaintiffs claimed as damages the portion of all advisory
compensation received by Nuveen Advisory from the Funds during the period from
June 21, 1995 to the present that is equal to the proportion of each Fund's
preferred stock to its total assets. The preferred stock constitutes
approximately one third of the Funds' assets so the amount claimed would equal
approximately one third of management fees received by Nuveen Advisory for
managing the Funds during this period, or more than $60 million. Nuveen Advisory
believes that it has no liability and that Plaintiffs have suffered no damages
and filed a motion for summary judgement as to both liability and damages.
Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgement as to liability only. In
a memorandum opinion dated September 6, 2001, the court granted Nuveen
Advisory's motion for summary judgement, thereby terminating the litigation
before the court. Plaintiffs appealed this decision on October 8, 2001.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter ended
December 31, 2001.
