LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
I am very pleased to report that for the year ended December 31, 2005, your Fund
continued to provide you with attractive monthly income from a diversified
portfolio of quality preferred securities, convertible securities and high yield
debt. For more information on your Fund's performance, please read the Portfolio
Managers' Comments, the Distribution and Share Price Information, and the
Performance Overview sections of this report.
Portfolio diversification is a recognized way to try to reduce some of the risk
that comes with investing. Since one part of your portfolio may be going up when
another is going down, portfolio diversification may help smooth your investment
returns over time. In addition to providing regular monthly income, an
investment like your Fund that combines several asset classes may help you
achieve and benefit from greater portfolio diversification. Your financial
advisor can explain these potential advantages in more detail. I urge you to
contact him or her soon for more information on this important investment
strategy.
"IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING REGULAR MONTHLY INCOME, AN INVESTMENT LIKE YOUR FUND
THAT COMBINES SEVERAL ASSET CLASSES MAY HELP YOU ACHIEVE AND BENEFIT FROM
GREATER PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION."
As you look through this report, be sure to review the inside front cover. This
contains information on how you can receive future Fund reports and other Fund
information faster by using e-mails and the Internet. Sign up is quick and easy
- just follow the step-by-step instructions.
As we noted in our last shareholder report, The St. Paul Travelers Companies,
Inc., which had owned 79% of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent of your Fund's
investment adviser), had sold a substantial portion of its stake in Nuveen.
Since then, St. Paul has sold the balance of its shares to Nuveen Investments or
to others. Please be assured that these transactions only affected Nuveen's
corporate structure, and they do not have any impact on the investment
objectives or management of your Fund.
At Nuveen Investments, our mission continues to be to assist you and your
financial advisor by offering investment services and products that can help you
to secure your financial objectives. We are grateful that you have chosen us as
a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and we look forward to continuing
to earn your trust in the months and years ahead. Sincerely,
/s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Funds (JPC, JQC)
Portfolio Managers'
COMMENTS
These Funds are subadvised by a team of specialists from Spectrum Asset
Management, Inc., Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc., and Symphony Asset
Management LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments.
Spectrum, an affiliate of Principal CapitalSM, manages the preferred securities
portion of each Fund's portfolio. Mark Lieb, Bernie Sussman and Phil Jacoby, who
have more than 50 years of combined experience in the preferred securities
markets, lead the team.
Froley, Revy, one of the oldest firms specializing in convertible securities,
manages that portion of each Fund's portfolio. Their investment team is led by
Andrea Revy O'Connell and Michael Revy, who each have more than 10 years
experience in convertible securities investing.
The Symphony team managing the high yield securities and other debt instruments
in both Funds is led by Gunther Stein and Lenny Mason. Gunther and Lenny have
more than 25 years of combined investment management experience, much of it in
evaluating and purchasing senior corporate loans and other high-yield debt.
Here representatives from Spectrum, Froley, Revy and Symphony talk about their
management strategies and the performance of both Funds for the 12-month period
ended December 31, 2005.
WHAT WERE THE GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND MARKET TRENDS OVER THE COURSE OF
2005?
The U.S. economy posted another year of growth in 2005. The Gross Domestic
Product grew 3.5% during the year, in line with the rise of the Consumer Price
Index. The U.S. equity market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
produced a return of 4.91%. The Federal Reserve continued to be on guard against
an increase in the rate of inflation, raising the closely-watched short-term fed
funds rate to 4.25% by year end. (On January 31, 2006, after the close of this
reporting period, the Fed raised the fed funds rate to 4.50%.)
As with most fixed income investors, participants in the preferred market spent
much of the year concerned with rising Fed funds rates, potential inflation,
rising energy prices, and the economic impact of natural disasters. Credit
spreads began 2005 at historically narrow levels relative to U.S. Treasury and
corporate bonds, and individual investors began to shy away from $25 par
preferreds early in the year fearing poor performance as the Fed continued to
raise the fed funds rate. The $25 par market also suffered from what was at
times more new issue supply than could readily be absorbed by the market.
Consequently, the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Index returned only 0.46%
in 2005, which was the worst annual performance for this index since 1999. The
year also saw significant new issuance of DRD (dividends received deduction)
preferred securities. This new DRD supply caused some price weakness during the
summer, but DRDs rallied during the fourth quarter and outperformed other
preferreds as well as the general bond market.
4
The $1000 par Capital Security sector, targeted to institutional investors, also
experienced healthy new issuance. Fortunately, institutional investors were
ravenous for the incremental yield afforded by this sector, and the strong
demand prevented the dislocations we saw in the $25 par preferred stock market.
The Lehman Tier 1 Capital Securities Index rise of 3.68% for the year far
outpaced returns in the $25 par sector. Many of the new securities in the
institutional sector utilized a new structure which provided more equity credit
for the issuers and provided higher yields for investors. The advent of these
new types of "enhanced equity" preferreds is expected to foster a broad
expansion of the hybrid preferred securities market, which reached a size of
about $276 billion by year end following record new issuance of $46 billion in
2005. (Hybrid preferred carry stated maturities and fixed coupons, but they can
be treated by companies as equity for financial statement purposes.)
Convertible securities had a difficult year in 2005, in part because of rising
short term rates. This caused a rocky start to the year for equity markets in
the U.S. However, stocks generally moved higher in the latter half of the year
due to overall good economic news coupled with little sign of inflation.
Convertibles, having features of both equities and bonds, struggled more than
would have been expected due to massive selling by convertible arbitrage hedge
funds, which created a supply/demand imbalance. This was mitigated to some
extent by a slow new issue calendar and high redemptions by issuers, causing a
reduction in supply that tended to support prices. However, values in the
convertible market did cheapen significantly last year. (A convertible issue is
considered cheap when the value of its bond component is added to the value of
the equity option and the result is higher than where the actual security is
trading.)
In the high yield debt market, 2005 was highlighted by record leveraged merger
financing, near historic low default rates and relatively narrow credit spreads
(the difference in yields between higher- and lower-rated securities). We were
able to avoid companies with aggressive leverage, such as auto suppliers like
Delphi. We also continued to avoid smaller high yield issues because we believed
that market liquidity could be challenged if the credit experienced any negative
events. The CSFB High Yield Index returned 2.26% for the year.
5
WHAT STRATEGIES AND TACTICS DID YOU USE TO MANAGE THE FUNDS' ASSETS?
In the preferred securities markets, we did some rebalancing between the $25 par
and $1000 par Capital Security sectors because of relative value considerations.
We sold $1000 par Capital Securities, which had been aggressively bid up in
price, and bought the relatively cheaper $25 par securities. Many of the Capital
Security sales were high coupon callable securities priced at levels that
assumed they would be called at the first opportunity. Therefore, they had
little or no upside price appreciation potential. As a result, we also were
being proactive in managing upcoming call exposure within the Funds' portfolios.
The overall management strategy for the convertible sleeves of JPC and JQC
continued to focus on the "balanced" portion of the convertible universe, which
includes securities that capture the features of both bonds and stocks by being
priced much like bonds while maintaining the upside potential of equities. We
found these balanced convertible securities generally had an attractive
risk/reward trade off between equity sensitivity and downside risk. We
maintained a minimum of 50% investment-grade securities, while the Merrill Lynch
All Convertibles Index investment-grade weight has dropped to 40% due to
redemptions by higher-quality issuers and more sub-investment grade issuance
over the last year.
For the high yield debt portion of both Funds, we continued to employ a
value-oriented strategy, focusing on relatively higher-quality credits with
strong fundamental business models, diversified revenue streams, and relatively
low earnings volatility. We maintained our investments across a variety of
industry sectors and rating tiers. We continued to eliminate positions that we
believed had escalating credit issues, limited upside potential or significant
downside risk.
HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM OVER THIS PERIOD?
The performance of each Fund, as well as the performance of a comparative
benchmark, is shown in the accompanying table.
TOTAL RETURN ON NET ASSET VALUE For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005
JPC 1.32%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JQC 1.41%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comparative benchmark1 1.73%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of
taxes that a shareholder may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale
of Fund shares. For more information, please see the individual Performance
Overview pages in this report.
1 Comparative benchmark performance is a blended return consisting of: 1) 33%
of the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock Hybrid Securities Index, an unmanaged
index of investment-grade, exchange-traded preferred issues with
outstanding market values of at least $30 million and at least one year to
maturity; 2) 27% of the Lehman Tier 1 Capital Securities Index, an
unmanaged index that includes securities that can generally be viewed as
hybrid fixed-income securities that either receive regulatory capital
treatment or a degree of "equity credit" from a rating agency; 3) 30% of
the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index, consisting of approximately
575 securities with par value greater than $50 million that were issued by
U.S. companies or non-U.S. based issuers that have a significant business
presence in the U.S.; and 4) 10% of the CSFB High Yield Index, which
includes approximately $375 billion of $US-denominated high yield debt with
a minimum of $75 million in par value and at least one rating below
investment-grade. Index returns do not include the effects of any
management fees or fund expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in
an index.
6
Over the course of what turned out to be a difficult 12-month period, both Funds
underperformed their comparative benchmark.
Taking advantage of the large amount of new issuance in the DRD sector and the
attractiveness of their yields compared to other preferreds, we increased our
concentration in these securities and reaped the benefits when credit spreads in
that market tightened toward the end of the year.
In addition, in keeping with our strategy of selling Capital Securities and
purchasing $25 par securities due to their relative values, we sold some high
coupon securities which become callable in late 2006 or early 2007. These
securities were priced to their first call dates because the market fully
expected them to get called. Selling these short duration securities, which had
little to no price appreciation upside, throughout 2005 positioned the Funds
ahead of the call cycle, especially as the short end of the yield curve sold
off. We also bought several of the new "enhanced equity" issues which provided
relatively higher income levels and attractive total return opportunities.
JPC and JQC began 2005 with a relatively light concentration in the automotive
industry, when compared with the sector's standing in the preferred market.
Nevertheless, in hindsight, the positions were not small enough. Many of these
holdings were senior debt which we had bought when it looked cheap compared to
their $25 par preferred counterparts. We began selling Ford and General Motors
in January 2005 (for a profit) and had been selling Delphi since 2004. We took
some losses when we sold much of our position in Delphi early in the year while
it was still making payments and thereby avoided the huge price declines that
accompanied Delphi's subsequent bankruptcy filing. These three automotive names
were the worst performers in 2005. As of year end, we had no automotive exposure
to Delphi, Ford, and GM, but did have a relatively small position in Daimler
Chrysler in JQC.
The best performing convertible securities sector for the year was energy. In
particular, the price of a Chesapeake Energy holding rose more than 130% from
the date of purchase in March 2004 through the date of the last sale of this
position in October 2005. While we remained positive on the stock and the
sector, the high equity sensitivity of this particular security made us look for
an attractive exit point. Subsequently, the Funds have purchased new Chesapeake
Energy securities. Other energy sector holdings Diamond Offshore, Kerr McGee
(which was sold during the period) and Amerada Hess also were positive
contributors during the year.
7
The financial sector represented on average just over 17% of the convertible
universe in 2005. The sector return in convertibles was a positive 5.8%. Both
Funds benefited from their financial sector holdings of Fortis Insurance,
Genworth and MetLife.
Although the utilities sector represents less than 5% of the convertible
universe, the Funds had a positive return from their positions in this area, in
contrast to a decline in the sector as a whole. FPL Group was the most notable
performer in JQC, while Calpine Corp. (currently in Chapter 11) was the most
notable company we avoided in both Funds.
Offsetting these solid performers, the convertible securities consumer
discretionary sector had a miserable year. We sold our positions in Ford and
General Motors when their debt was downgraded to junk status. Similar to the
auto industry, airlines also had a negative impact on the Transportation sector.
At the beginning of the year, both Funds owned convertibles issued by Pinnacle
Airlines, a partner with Northwest Airlines. We sold these positions well before
both airlines declared bankruptcy, but not soon enough to avoid a loss. On the
other hand, Continental Airlines (purchased in September) and JetBlue (bought in
October) both performed well during the periods they were in the portfolios.
Convertibles issued by firms in the technology sector were down about 2.2% last
year. A disappointing return from Digital River convertibles had a negative
impact on performance of both Funds. However, we remained interested in the
technology sector, and the Funds maintained much of their convertible exposure
in this area at year end.
Overall, we were pleased with the performance of the high yield debt portions of
both Funds' portfolios. In JPC, Allied Waste North America and Baytex Energy
Ltd. performed well, while solid performers in JQC included Global Cash Access
LLC and Quintiles Transnational Corporation.

Distribution and Share Price
INFORMATION
Each Fund uses financial leverage in an effort to enhance its common share
dividend-paying capabilities. While this strategy adds volatility to the Fund's
common share net asset value and share price, it generally enhances the amount
of income the Fund has to distribute to its common shareholders. The extent of
this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their
FundPreferredTM shareholders. As short-term rates rose through this reporting
period, the Funds paid higher dividends to their FundPreferred shareholders. As
a result, the leveraging strategy did not provide as much income enhancement to
common shareholders as it did before short-term interest rates began to rise.
Over this 12-month reporting period, both JPC and JQC announced three reductions
in their monthly distribution to common shareholders.
Both Funds seek to pay stable common share distributions at rates that reflect
each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain
periods, each Fund may pay distributions at a rate that may be more or less than
the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in
distributions, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment
income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively
paid distributions in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative
UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time,
pay all of its net investment income in distributions to shareholders. As of
December 31, 2005, both Funds had negative UNII balances for financial statement
purposes and positive UNII balances for tax purposes.
In addition, due to normal portfolio management activity, common shareholders of
the Funds received two capital gains distribution in 2005 as follows:
JULY LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS DECEMBER LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS
(PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JPC $0.0176 $0.1934
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JQC $0.0430 $0.0530
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These distributions represented important parts of the Funds' total return for
this period. Generally, these types of distributions were generated by bond
calls or by sales of appreciated securities that occurred in the course of
normal portfolio management activities. On balance, this had a slight negative
impact on the Funds' per share earning power and was a minor factor in the per
share distribution reductions noted above.
As of December 31, 2005, the Funds' common shares were trading at discounts to
their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:
12/31/05 12-MONTH AVERAGE
DISCOUNT DISCOUNT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JPC -15.59% -10.25%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JQC -14.72% -11.06%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 3, 2006, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved an open market share
repurchase program, as part of a broad, ongoing program of activity designed to
support the market prices of the Funds' common shares.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS
NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND
NUVEEN PREFERRED AND CONVERTIBLE INCOME FUND 2
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund
and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 as of December 31, 2005, and
the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements
of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated
therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of December 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers. 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 position of Nuveen
Preferred and Convertible Income Fund and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible
Income Fund 2 at December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations for the
year then ended, and changes in their net assets and their financial highlights
for the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common
share New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Preferred and Convertible
Income Fund (JPC) and Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund 2 (JQC). The
Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
diversified, closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide high current income by investing primarily in a
portfolio of preferred securities, convertible securities and, to a lesser
degree, high yield securities. Each Fund may also invest in other debt
instruments and common stocks acquired upon conversion of a convertible
security.
The Board of Trustees of the Funds approved a change in the Funds' fiscal year
end from July 31 to December 31 upon completion of the Funds' July 31, 2004
fiscal year.
Effective January 1, 2005, Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC") the
Funds' previous adviser, and its affiliate, Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC"), were
merged into Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"), each wholly owned subsidiaries of
Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"). As a result of the merger, NAM is now the
Adviser to all funds previously advised by either NIAC or NAC.
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
Exchange-listed securities and instruments, other than futures, are generally
valued at the last sales price on the exchange on which such securities or
instruments are primarily traded. Securities or instruments traded on an
exchange for which there are no transactions on a given day or securities or
instruments not listed on an exchange are valued at the mean of the closing bid
and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq Official
Closing Price. 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.
Prices of other derivative instruments are provided by an independent pricing
service approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees. The prices of fixed-income
securities are generally also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees and based on the mean between the bid
and asked prices. When price quotes are not readily available, the pricing
service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular security or
instrument, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish
fair market value using a wide variety of market data including yields or prices
of securities of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating,
market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other
information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics
considered relevant by the pricing service or the Board of Trustee's designee.
Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from investment transactions are determined on the specific
identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued or 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 and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At
December 31, 2005, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in either
fund.
46
Investment Income
Dividend income on securities purchased and dividend expense on securities sold
short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when
information is available. Interest income, which includes the amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is
recorded on an accrual basis.
Professional Fees
Professional fees presented in the Statement of Operations consist of legal fees
incurred in the normal course of operations, audit fees, tax consulting fees
and, in some cases, workout expenditures. Workout expenditures are incurred in
an attempt to protect or enhance an investment, or to pursue other claims or
legal actions on behalf of Fund shareholders.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all 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.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Distributions to Common shareholders 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.
Distributions to Common shareholders are declared monthly. With respect to the
Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") securities held in the Funds' Portfolio of
Investments, distributions received by the Funds are generally comprised of
ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and a return of REIT
capital. The actual character of amounts received during the period is not known
until after the fiscal year-end. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005,
the character of distributions to the Funds from the REITs was as follows:

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and the fiscal period ended
December 31, 2004, each Fund applied the actual character of distributions
reported by the REITs in which the Fund invests to its receipts from the REITS.
If a REIT held in the portfolio of investments did not report the actual
character of its distributions during the period, the Fund treated the
distributions as ordinary income.
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, each Fund applied a percentage estimate
for the breakdown of income type, to its receipts from the REITs and treated as
income in the Statement of Operations only the amount of ordinary income so
calculated. Each Fund adjusted that estimated breakdown of income type (and
consequently its net investment income) as necessary in the following calendar
year when the REITs informed their shareholders of the actual breakdown of
income type.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and the fiscal period ended
December 31, 2004, each Fund applied the actual character of distributions
reported by the REITs in which the Fund invests to the distributions paid to
each Fund's shareholders.
With respect to the portion of each Fund's monthly distribution to its
shareholders derived from the Fund's investments in REIT securities for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2004, each Fund treated that portion of its
distribution as being entirely from net investment income. The Funds
recharacterized those distributions as being from ordinary income, long-term and
short-term capital gains, and return of capital, if necessary, in the subsequent
calendar year, based upon the income type breakdown information conveyed at that
time by the REITs whose securities were held in each Fund's portfolio.
Consequently, the financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004,
reflected an over-distribution of net investment income that was at least partly
attributable to the fact that, as of the date of the financial statements, some
of the amounts received by the Funds from the portfolio REITs, but none of the
dividends paid by the Funds to shareholders from the portfolio REITs were
treated as something other than ordinary income.
48
FundPreferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding FundPreferred shares, $25,000 stated value
per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's FundPreferred
shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate paid by the Fund on
each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process
overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period.
The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as
follows:

================================================================================
Interest Rate Swap Transactions
The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use
of interest rate swap transactions is intended to mitigate the negative impact
that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on Common share net
earnings as a result of leverage. Interest rate swap transactions involve each
Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay a fixed rate payment in exchange
for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment that is intended to
approximate each Fund's variable rate payment obligation on FundPreferred shares
or any variable rate borrowing. The payment obligation is based on the notional
amount of the interest rate swap contract. Interest rate swaps do not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal. Accordingly,
the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is
limited to the net amount of interest payments that each Fund is to receive.
Interest rate swap positions are valued daily. Although there are economic
advantages of entering into interest rate swap transactions, there are also
additional risks. The Funds help manage the credit risks associated with
interest rate swap transactions by entering into agreements only with
counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their
obligations and by having the Adviser continually monitor the financial
stability of the swap counterparties.
Futures Contracts
Each Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the values of
securities the Fund owns. Each Fund bears the market risk arising from changes
in the value of these financial instruments. At the time a Fund enters into a
futures contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial
margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected.
Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract.
Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the
Fund as unrealized gains or losses on futures contracts. Risk may arise from the
potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. When
a contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the
time is was closed. At December 31, 2005, there were no open futures contracts
in either Fund.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Short Sales
The Funds are authorized to make short sales of securities if the Funds own at
least an equal amount of such securities or securities convertible into
securities of the same issuer. To secure its obligation to deliver securities
sold short, the Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in an
equivalent amount of the securities sold short or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for such securities. The Fund is obligated to pay to the party to
which the securities were sold short, dividends declared on the stock by the
issuer and records such amounts as expense in the Statement of Operations. Short
sales are valued daily and the corresponding unrealized gains or losses are
included in "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments." At December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding short sales in
either Fund.
Repurchase Agreements
In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds'
policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral
securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the
repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller
defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the
collateral may be delayed or limited.
Offering Costs
Costs incurred by Preferred and Convertible Income 2 (JQC) in connection with
its offering of FundPreferred shares ($19,728,655) during the fiscal year ended
July 31, 2004, were recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

================================================================================
* Net ordinary income consists of net taxable income derived from dividends,
interest, and net short-term capital gains, if any.
** The Fund designated as a long-term capital gain dividend, pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce the
earnings and profits of the Fund related to net capital gain to zero for
the tax period ended December 31, 2005.
Calculation of certain of the amounts presented above (namely, undistributed net
ordinary income for tax purposes) involves the application of complex aspects of
the Internal Revenue Code to certain securities held by the Funds. In
calculating the amount of taxable income derived from these securities,
management made assumptions as to the correct tax treatment of certain of those
securities and made estimates about the tax characteristics of income received
from those securities, based on information currently available to the Funds.
The use of these assumptions and estimates will not affect the qualification of
the Funds as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code, nor is it expected that these assumptions and estimates will be
used in computing taxable income for purposes of preparing the federal and state
income and excise tax returns.
5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual fund. 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.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily Managed Assets of each Fund as follows:
AVERAGE DAILY MANAGED ASSETS FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $500 million .7000%
For the next $500 million .6750
For the next $500 million .6500
For the next $500 million .6250
For Managed Assets over $2 billion .6000
================================================================================
53
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As
of December 31, 2005, the complex-level fee rate was .1895%.
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $55 billion .2000%
For the next $1 billion .1800
For the next $1 billion .1600
For the next $3 billion .1425
For the next $3 billion .1325
For the next $3 billion .1250
For the next $5 billion .1200
For the next $5 billion .1175
For the next $15 billion .1150
For Managed Assets over $91 billion(2) .1400
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in
the U.S.
(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee
rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later
date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91
billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to
be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee
rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as
a different rate or rates is determined.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is
responsible for the overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser
has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with Spectrum Asset Management, Inc.
("Spectrum"), Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc. ("Froley, Revy") and Symphony
Asset Management, LLC ("Symphony"). Spectrum manages the portion of the Funds'
investment portfolios allocated to preferred securities. Froley, Revy manages
the portion of the Funds' investment portfolios allocated to convertible
securities. Symphony manages the portion of the Funds' investment portfolios
allocated to debt securities. Spectrum, Froley, Revy and Symphony are
compensated for their services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the
Adviser. Spectrum also receives compensation on certain portfolio transactions
for providing brokerage services to the Funds.
The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are
affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration
for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of
Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that
enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual
compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds.
Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had
been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds.

For the first eight years of Preferred and Convertible Income's (JPC)
operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of
average daily Managed Assets, for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the

6. ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PARENT COMPANY OF ADVISER
In early April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul
Travelers"), which owned 79% of Nuveen, (A) completed a public offering of a
substantial portion of its equity stake in Nuveen, (B) sold Nuveen $200 million
of its Nuveen shares, (C) entered into an agreement with Nuveen to sell an
additional $400 million of its Nuveen shares on a "forward" basis with payment
for and settlement of these shares delayed for several months, and (D) entered
into agreements with two unaffiliated investment banking firms to sell an amount
equal to most or all of its remaining Nuveen shares for current payment but for
future settlement. Transactions (C) and (D) above were settled in late July,
which effectively reduced St. Paul Travelers' controlling stake in Nuveen and
was deemed an "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment
management agreements between the Funds and the Adviser, which resulted in the
automatic termination of each agreement under the 1940 Act. In anticipation of
such deemed assignment, the Board of Trustees had approved new ongoing
investment management agreements for each Fund and the submission of those
agreements for approval by each respective Fund's shareholders, which
shareholder approval was received prior to the settlement of transactions (C)
and (D). The new ongoing management agreements took effect upon such settlement.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET
UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED CLOSED-END FUNDS
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded 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 compounding.
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. 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.
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.

Other Useful
INFORMATION
In April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. (`'St. Paul Travelers ")
sold the majority of its controlling equity interest in Nuveen Investments, Inc.
(`'Nuveen") to the general public. Nuveen is the parent of Nuveen Asset
Management ("NAM"), which is each Fund's investment manager. This sale was
deemed to be an `'assignment" of the investment management agreement between
each Fund and NAM and, if applicable, of the sub-advisory agreement between NAM
and the Fund's sub-adviser. As required by law, the shareholders of each Fund
were asked to approve a new investment management agreement and, if applicable,
a new subadvisory agreement that reflected this change in ownership. The
shareholders of each Fund voted this approval at a Shareholders' Meeting on July
26, 2005. There were no changes to the investment objectives or management of
any Fund as a result of these actions.
QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS AND PROXY VOTING INFORMATION
The Fund's (i) quarterly portfolio of investments, (ii) information regarding
how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the
most recent 12-month period ended June 30, 2005, and (iii) a description of the
policies and procedures that the Fund used to determine how to vote proxies
relating to portfolio securities are available without charge, upon request, by
calling Nuveen Investments toll-free at (800) 257-8787 or on Nuveen's website at
www.nuveen.com. You may also obtain this and other Fund information directly
from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The SEC may charge a
copying fee for this information. Visit the SEC on-line at http://www.sec.gov or
in person at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Call the SEC at
1-202-942-8090 for room hours and operation. You may also request Fund
information by sending an e-mail request to publicinfo@sec.gov or by writing to
the SEC's Public Reference Section at 450 Fifth Street NW, Washington, D.C.
20549.
CEO CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE
Each Fund's Chief Executive Officer has submitted to the New York Stock Exchange
the annual CEO certification as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE
Listed Company Manual.
Each Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the
certification of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
INVESTMENTS IN SYNTHETIC CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
Although the Funds' respective prospectuses indicated that they did not
currently intend to invest in "synthetic convertible securities", the Funds have
now determined to invest up to 10% of their respective Managed Assets in such
securities. Synthetic convertibles possess the two principal characteristics of
a true convertible security: a fixed-income component, and an equity component.
Synthetic convertibles are usually created by third parties (such as investment
banks) and typically involve the marrying of non-convertible fixed-income
instruments such as bonds or preferred stocks with equity instruments such as
warrants or options. Because synthetic convertible securities can sometimes be
comprised of two separate and unrelated instruments from unrelated obligors,
their performance may differ somewhat from true convertibles.
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
Nuveen Preferred and Convertible Income Fund (JPC) and Nuveen Preferred and
Convertible Income Fund 2 (JQC) designate 11.37% and 8.68%, respectively, of
dividends declared from net investment income as dividends qualifying for the
70% dividends received deduction for corporations and 14.38% and 12.43%,
respectively, as qualified dividend income for individuals under the Jobs and
Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.

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 Investor 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, Chairman of the Audit Committee, 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 Preferred and Convertible Income Fund
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

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 Adviser has engaged Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. ("Spectrum") for
preferred securities, Froley, Revy Investment Company Inc. ("Froley, Revy") for
convertible securities and Symphony Asset Management, LLC ("Symphony") for
high-yield fixed income securities (Spectrum, Froley, Revy and Symphony are also
collectively referred to as "Sub-Advisers") as Sub-Advisers to provide
discretionary investment advisory services. As part of these services, the
Adviser has also delegated to each Sub-Adviser the full responsibility for proxy
voting and related duties in accordance with the Sub-Adviser's policy and
procedures. The Adviser periodically will monitor each Sub-Adviser's voting to
ensure that they are carrying out their duties. The Sub-Advisers' proxy voting
policies and procedures are summarized as follows:
SYMPHONY
Symphony uses the proxy voting services of Institutional Shareholder Services
("ISS"). The ISS Proxy Voting Services provide Symphony and its clients with an
independent source of proxy voting research and services. The use of ISS is
designed to offer client-centered proxy voting which minimizes conflicts of
interests between Symphony's interests and those of its clients.
In order to monitor how ISS votes client proxies, Symphony has established a
Proxy Voting Review Committee (the "Committee"). The Committee is composed of
Symphony's Chief Operating Officer and its Chief Investment Officer. Each year,
the Committee reviews ISS proxy voting policies and practices to determine
whether such policies and practices are consistent with Symphony's fiduciary
duty to the clients for whom Symphony is responsible for voting proxies. During
the year, the Committee review how ISS votes on specific issues. From time to
time, the Committee discusses the proxy voting process with representatives of
ISS in order to ensure that Symphony's client interests are being protected.
When Symphony disagrees with ISS' policies with respect to certain issues,
Symphony will direct the voting of its clients' proxies according to what
Symphony believes is the best interests of its clients.
Clients who have questions about how particular proxies are voted for their
account may request such information from Symphony by calling (800) 847-6369.
FROLEY, REVY
Froley, Revy will vote proxies upon a client's request as set forth in the
Investment Management contract. Proxies will be voted in the best interests of
the account's participants and beneficiaries. Thus, the primary consideration in
voting a proxy is the ultimate economic value of the stock based on Froley,
Revy's independent analysis of the stock's investment potential. Froley, Revy
utilizes a proxy committee. With respect to each proxy issue, the committee will
analyze the economic impact on the company of voting in favor or against the
proposal. The committee will vote based on the best ultimate long-term economic
interest of the plan. Froley, Revy may determine not to vote proxies relating to
certain securities if Froley, Revy determines it would be in its clients'
overall best interest not to vote. If Froley, Revy manages the assets of a
company or its pension plan and any of Froley, Revy's clients hold any
securities of that company, to avoid conflicts of interest, the client will be
asked to vote the proxy.
Clients that would like to obtain a copy of Froley, Revy's proxy policies and
procedures and/or the voting history for their account may do so by writing to
the offices of Froley, Revy Investment Co., Inc. at 10900 Wilshire Blvd. Suite
900, Los Angeles, CA 90024, Attn: Compliance Department.
SPECTRUM
Spectrum has adopted a Policy on Proxy Voting for Investment Advisory Clients
(the "Voting Policy"), which provides that Spectrum aims to ensure that, when
delegated proxy voting authority by a client, Spectrum acts (1) solely in the
interest of the client in providing for ultimate long-term stockholder value,
and (2) without undue influence from individuals or groups who may have an
economic interest in the outcome of a proxy vote. Spectrum relies on the
custodian bank to deliver proxies to Spectrum for voting.
Spectrum has selected Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ("ISS") to assist
with Spectrum's proxy voting responsibilities. Spectrum generally follows ISS
standard proxy voting guidelines which embody the positions and factors Spectrum
considers important in casting proxy votes. In connection with each proxy vote,
ISS prepares a written analysis and recommendation based on its guidelines. In
order to avoid any conflict of interest for ISS, the CCO will require ISS to
deliver additional information or certify that ISS has adopted policies and
procedures to detect and mitigate such conflicts of interest in issuing voting
recommendations. Spectrum also may obtain voting recommendations from two proxy
voting services as an additional check on the independence of ISS' voting
recommendations.
Spectrum may, on any particular proxy vote, diverge from ISS' guidelines or
recommendations. In such a case, Spectrum's Voting Policy requires that: (i) the
requesting party document the reason for the request; (ii) the approval of the
Chief Investment Officer; (iii) notification to appropriate compliance
personnel; (iv) a determination that the decision is not influenced by any
conflict of interest; and (v) a written record of the process.
When Spectrum determines not to follow ISS' guidelines or recommendations,
Spectrum classifies proxy voting issues into three broad categories: (1) Routine
Administrative Items; (2) Special Interest Issues; and (3) Issues having the
Potential for Significant Economic Impact, and casts proxy votes in accordance
with the philosophy and decision guidelines developed for that category in the
Voting Policy.
o Routine Administrative Items. Spectrum is willing to defer to
management on matters of a routine administrative nature. Examples of issues on
which Spectrum will normally defer to management's recommendation include
selection of auditors, increasing the authorized number of common shares and the
election of unopposed directors.
o Special Interest Issues. In general, Spectrum will abstain from
voting on shareholder social, political, environmental proposals because their
long-term impact on share value cannot be calculated with any reasonable degree
of confidence.
o Issues Having the Potential for Significant Economic Impact.
Spectrum is not willing to defer to management on proposals which have the
potential for major economic impact on the corporation and value of its shares
and believes such issues should be carefully analyzed and decided by
shareholders. Examples of such issues are classification of board of directors'
cumulative voting and supermajority provisions, defensive strategies (e.g.,
greenmail prevention), business combinations and restructurings and executive
and director compensation.
Conflicts of Interest. There may be a material conflict of interest when
Spectrum votes, on behalf of a client, a proxy that is solicited by an
affiliated person of Spectrum or another Spectrum client. To avoid such
conflicts, Spectrum has established procedures under its Voting Policy to seek
to ensure that voting decisions are based on a client's best interests and are
not the product of a material conflict. In addition to employee monitoring for
potential conflicts, the CCO reviews Spectrum's and its affiliates' material
business relationships and personal and financial relationships of senior
personnel of Spectrum and its affiliates to monitor for conflicts of interest.
If a conflict of interest is identified, Spectrum considers both financial and
non-financial materiality to determine if a conflict of interest is material. If
a material conflict of interest is found to exist, the CCO discloses the
conflict to affected clients and obtains consent from each client in the manner
in which Spectrum proposed to vote.
Spectrum clients can obtain a copy of the Voting Policy or information on how
Spectrum voted their proxies by calling Spectrum's Compliance Department at
(203) 322-0189.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The portfolios of the Funds are managed by three different sub-advisers:
Spectrum for preferred securities; Froley Revy for convertible securities and
Symphony for high yield fixed-income securities. Following is disclosure
regarding the portfolio managers responsible for each asset class:
SPECTRUM ASSET MANAGEMENT - PREFERRED SECURITIES
A. PORTFOLIO MANAGER BIOGRAPHIES
BERNARD M. SUSSMAN is Chief Investment Officer and Chairman of Spectrum's
Investment Committee. Prior to joining Spectrum in 1995, Mr. Sussman was with
Goldman Sachs & Co. for nearly 18 years.
MARK A. LIEB is Chief Financial Officer and is responsible for business
development. Prior to founding Spectrum in 1987, Mr. Lieb was a Founder,
Director and Partner of DBL Preferred Management, Inc., a wholly owned corporate
cash management subsidiary of Drexel Burnham Lambert, Inc.

C. POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
As described above, the portfolio manager may manage other accounts
with investment strategies similar to the Fund, including other
investment companies and separately managed accounts. Fees earned by
the sub-advisers may vary among these accounts and the portfolio
managers may personally invest in some but not all of these accounts.
These factors could create conflicts of interest because a portfolio
manager may have incentives to favor certain accounts over others,
resulting in other accounts outperforming the Fund. A conflict may also
exist if a portfolio manager identified a limited investment
opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account, but the
Fund is not able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to the
need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts. In addition,
the portfolio manager may execute transactions for another account that
may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Fund. However,
the sub-advisers believe that these risks are mitigated by the fact
that accounts with like investment strategies managed by a particular
portfolio manager are generally managed in a similar fashion, subject
to exceptions to account for particular investment restrictions or
policies applicable only to certain accounts, differences in cash flows
and account sizes, and other factors. In addition, each sub-adviser has
adopted trade allocation procedures that require equitable allocation
of trade orders for a particular security among participating accounts.
D. FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
All employees of Spectrum Asset Management are paid a base salary and
discretionary bonus. The bonus is paid quarterly and may represent a significant
proportion of an individual's total annual compensation. Discretionary bonuses
are determined by management after consideration of several factors including
but not necessarily limited to:
o Changes in overall firm assets under management (employees have no
direct incentive to increase assets)
o Portfolio performance relative to benchmarks
o Contribution to client servicing
o Compliance with firm and/or regulatory policies and procedures
o Work ethic
o Seniority and length of service
o Contribution to overall functioning of organization

D. FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Froley, Revy's portfolio managers receive base compensation and
benefits, which are competitive with the industry standards. Bonuses
are a reflection of both the individual's contribution and firm wide
profitability. Ms. O'Connell's compensation is not based on the
performance of her portfolios and is not directly tied to the
gathering of assets. Rather any increases in assets are reflected
through overall firm profitability. Ms. O'Connell is a profit
participant in the firm and her bonus is based on a percentage of net
profitability (including all bonuses paid to employees).
Due to the complex and varying natures of the portfolios managed,
there is no simple comparison to an index, nor is compensation tied to
performance against an index in the short term. Over a longer cycle,
however, actual over and under performance is evaluated.

D. FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Symphony investment professionals receive competitive base salaries and
participate in a bonus pool which is tied directly to the firm's operating
income with a disproportionate amount paid to the managers responsible for
generating the alpha. The bonus paid to investment personnel is based on acumen,
overall contribution and strategy performance. However, there is no fixed
formula which guides bonus allocations. Bonuses are paid on an annual basis. In
addition, investment professionals may participate in an equity-based
compensation pool.
