Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions as well as high-net-worth and affluent investors, today announced that the Board of 13 insured municipal bond closed-end funds has approved changes to each of these fund’s investment policies.

Over the past few years, most municipal bond insurers have had their credit ratings downgraded and only one insurer is currently insuring new municipal bonds. As a result, the supply of insured municipal securities has decreased dramatically and the long-term viability of the municipal bond insurance market is uncertain.

In response, the Board approved changes to each fund’s investment policies intended to increase the fund’s flexibility regarding the types of securities available for investment.

The changes provide that:

  • Each fund will eliminate the investment policy requiring it, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 80 percent of its managed assets in municipal securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest.
  • Each fund will continue to invest substantially all (at least 80 percent) of its managed assets in investment grade quality municipal securities.

In connection with the changes in policy, each fund will also change its name as follows:
