Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
Despite the global economy's ability to muddle through the many economic headwinds of 2012, investors continue to have good reasons to remain cautious. The European Central Bank's decisions to extend intermediate term financing to major European banks and to support sovereign debt markets have begun to show signs of a stabilized euro area financial market. The larger member states of the European Union (EU) are working diligently to strengthen the framework for a tighter financial and banking union and meaningful progress has been made by agreeing to centralize large bank regulation under the European Central Bank. However, economic conditions in the southern tier members are not improving and the pressures on their political leadership remain intense. The jury is out on whether the respective populations will support the continuing austerity measures that are needed to meet the EU fiscal targets.
In the U.S., the Fed remains committed to low interest rates into 2015 through its third program of Quantitative Easing (QE3). Inflation remains low but a growing number of economists are expressing concern about the economic distortions resulting from negative real interest rates. The highly partisan atmosphere in Congress led to a disappointingly modest solution for dealing with the end-of-year tax and spending issues. Early indications for the new Congressional term have not given much encouragement that the atmosphere for dealing with the sequestration legislation and the debt ceiling issues, let alone a more encompassing "grand bargain," will be any better than the last Congress. Over the longer term, there are some encouraging trends for the U.S. economy: house prices are beginning to recover, banks and corporations continue to strengthen their financial positions and incentives for capital investment in the U.S. by domestic and foreign corporations are increasing due to more competitive energy and labor costs.
During 2012 U.S. investors have benefited from strong returns in the domestic equity markets and solid returns in most fixed income markets. However, many of the macroeconomic risks of 2012 remain unresolved, including negotiating through the many U.S. fiscal issues, managing the risks of another year of abnormally low U.S. interest rates, sustaining the progress being made in the euro area and reducing the potential economic impact of geopolitical issues, particularly in the Middle East. In the face of these uncertainties, the experienced investment professionals at Nuveen Investments seek out investments that are enjoying positive economic conditions. At the same time they are always on the alert for risks in markets subject to excessive optimism or for opportunities in markets experiencing undue pessimism. Monitoring this process is a critical function for the Fund Board as it oversees your Nuveen Fund on your behalf.
As always, I encourage you to communicate with your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund. On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner

The Funds are managed by Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, an affiliate of Nuveen Investments. Keith Hembre, CFA, David Friar and James Colon, CFA, manage the portfolios. Here the team talks about the general market conditions, their management strategies and the performance of the Funds for the twelve-months ended December 31, 2012.
What were the general market conditions and trends over the course of this reporting period?
During this period, the U.S. economy's progress toward recovery from recession continued at a moderate pace. The Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its efforts to improve the overall economic environment by holding the benchmark fed funds rate at the record low level of zero to 0.25% that it established in December 2008. The central bank decided during its December 2012 meeting to keep the fed funds rate at "exceptionally low levels" until either the unemployment rate reaches 6.5% or expected inflation goes above 2.5%. The Fed also affirmed its decision, announced in September 2012, to purchase $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to stimulate the housing market. In addition to this new, open-ended stimulus program, the Fed plans to continue its program to extend the average maturity of its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities through the end of December 2012. The goals of these actions, which together will increase the Fed's holdings of longer-term securities by approximately $85 billion a month through the end of the year, are to put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, make broader financial conditions more accommodative and support a stronger economic recovery as well as continued progress toward the Fed's mandates of maximum employment and price stability.
In the fourth quarter 2012, the U.S. economy, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), decreased at an estimated annualized rate of 0.1%, down from a 3.1% increase in the third quarter. This slight decline was due to lower inventory investment, federal spending and net exports. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.7% year-over-year as of December 2012, after a 3.0% increase in 2011. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) increased 1.9% during the period, staying just within the Fed's unofficial objective of 2.0% or lower for this inflation measure. As of January 2013, the national unemployment rate was 7.9%, slightly higher than the 7.8% unemployment rate for December 2012 but below the 8.3% level recorded in January 2012. The housing market continued to show

signs of improvement, with the average home price in the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of 20 major metropolitan areas rising 5.5% for the twelve months ended November 2012 (most recent data available at the time this report was prepared). This was the largest year-over-year price gain since August 2006. The outlook for the U.S. economy remained clouded by uncertainty about global financial markets and the continued negotiations by Congress regarding potential spending cuts and tax policy reform.
The U.S. equity market appreciated during the reporting period notwithstanding concerns regarding global economic growth and the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Regardless, equities enjoyed a strong year. 2012 was the first year since 1979 that the S&P 500® Index never entered negative returns on a year-to-date basis.
What key strategies were used to manage the Funds during this reporting period?
Each Fund pursues a two-part investment strategy, consisting of an equity strategy and an option overlay strategy.
The purchase of call options was approved on November 12, 2012 for the purpose of implementing call spreads and similar options strategies. A call spread involves the sale of a call option and the corresponding purchase of a call option on the same underlying security, index or instrument with the same expiration date but with different exercise prices. In entering into call spreads, the Fund generally will sell an at-the-money or slightly out-of-the-money call option and purchase an out-of-the-money call option that has a strike price higher than the strike price of the option written by the Fund. The call spreads utilized by the Fund generally will generate less net option premium than writing calls, but limit the overall risk of the strategy (in rapidly rising markets) by capping the Fund's liability from the written call while simultaneously allowing for additional upside above the strike price of the purchased call.
QQQX's core equity strategy is to invest in an optimized portfolio of equities designed to track the price movement of the NASDAQ -100 Stock Index, a market capitalization weighted index. The option overlay is designed to provide incremental cash flow and serve as a risk management strategy by lowering the overall beta of the Fund. Index call options are written on approximately 30-50% of the Fund's net asset value (NAV).
DPD's core equity strategy is to invest in a portfolio of equities designed to track the price movement of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). As the DJIA is a price weighted index, this is accomplished by holding an equal number of shares in each index component. The option overlay is designed to provide incremental cash flow and serve as a risk management strategy by lowering the overall beta of the Fund. Call options are written on all the stocks held in the portfolio, generally between 20%-60% of the notional equity exposure.
DPO's core equity strategy is to invest in a portfolio of equities designed to track the price movement of the DJIA. Total exposure to the equity strategy is augmented by the purchase of other securities or financial instruments, primarily swap contracts, designed to provide additional investment exposure (i.e. leverage) to the return of the DJIA stocks. The option overlay is designed to provide incremental cash flow and serve as a risk management strategy by lowering the overall beta of the Fund. Call options are

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2012, QQQX and DPD underperformed their comparative indexes, while DPO slightly outperformed its benchmark.
QQQX seeks to dampen the beta of the overall portfolio by selling call options on a percentage of the Fund's net asset value (NAV). This strategy provides incremental cash flow to the Fund, and also allows the Fund to participate in any equity market rally for the portion of the Fund's assets that are not included in the call overwrite, typically an amount corresponding to between 30% and 50% of the Fund's assets. Those portions of the Fund subject to overwrite have their upside potential capped at the amount of premium received for the option. The downside is buffered by the amount of the cash flow premium received. In flat or declining markets, the option premium can enhance total returns relative to the benchmark. In rising markets, the options can hurt the Fund's total return relative to the benchmark. The reporting period was marked by a rising market, with minimal volatility levels. As a result, the Fund underperformed for the reporting period.
The equity portfolio of DPD is constructed to substantially replicate the securities in the DJIA, and therefore the Fund's performance is expected to be very similar to this measure. As described previously, the Fund seeks to dampen the beta of the overall portfolio by selling call options on a pro-rata percentage of each security held in the portfolio. The options sold provide incremental cash flow in exchange for giving up the potential upside of each stock above the options strike price. The downside is buffered by the amount of the cash flow premium received. In flat or declining markets, the option premium can enhance total returns relative to the benchmark. In rising markets, the options can hurt the Fund's total return relative to the benchmark. During the reporting period the DJIA rose modestly, and as a result, the Fund underperformed for the period.

flow in exchange for giving up the potential upside of each stock above the options strike price. The downside is buffered by the amount of the cash flow premium received. In flat or declining markets, the option premium can enhance total returns relative to the benchmark. In rising markets, the options can hurt the Fund's total return relative to the benchmark. The Fund also invested in swaps that receive the total return of the DJIA while paying a floating rate of interest, adding leverage and equity exposure to the Fund. During the reporting period the DJIA rose modestly. As a result of its extra market exposure due to leverage, the Fund slightly outperformed the benchmark.
RISK CONSIDERATIONS
Fund shares are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank or other insured depository institution, and are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Shares of closed-end funds are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal invested. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Fund common shares are subject to a variety of risks, including:
Investment, Market and Price Risk. An investment in common shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. Your investment in common shares represents an indirect investment in the corporate securities owned by the Funds, which generally trade in the over-the-counter markets. Shares of closed-end investment companies like the Funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value (NAV). Your common shares at any point in time may be worth less than your original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Leverage Risk. A Fund's use of leverage creates the possibility of higher volatility for the Fund's per share NAV, market price, and distributions. Leverage risk can be introduced through regulatory leverage (issuing preferred shares or debt borrowings at the Fund level) or through certain derivative investments held in a Fund's portfolio. Leverage typically magnifies the total return of a Fund's portfolio, whether that return is positive or negative. The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased common share net income, but there is no assurance that a Fund's leveraging strategy will be successful.
Tax Risk. The tax treatment of Fund distributions may be affected by new IRS interpretations of the Internal Revenue Code and future changes in tax laws and regulations. This is particularly true for funds employing a managed distribution program.
Common Stock Risk. Common stock returns often have experienced significant volatility.
Call Option Risks. The value of call options sold (written) by the Funds will fluctuate. The Funds may not participate in any appreciation of its equity portfolio as fully as it would if the Funds did not sell call options. In addition, the Funds will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the equity portfolio.
Derivatives Strategy Risk. Derivative securities, such as calls, puts, warrants, swaps and forwards, carry risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with the underlying investments.
Index Call Option Risk. Because index options are settled in cash, sellers of index call options, such as the Funds, cannot provide in advance for their potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities.
Reinvestment Risk. If market interest rates decline, income earned from a Fund's portfolio may be reinvested at rates below that of the original bond that generated the income.

Share Distribution
and Price Information
Distribution Information
The following information regarding each Fund's distributions is current as of December 31, 2012, and likely will vary over time based on the Fund's investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.
During the current reporting period, the Funds' quarterly distributions to shareholders remained stable. Some of the important factors affecting the amount and composition of these distributions are summarized below.
Each Fund has a managed distribution program. The goal of this program is to provide shareholders with relatively consistent and predictable cash flow by systematically converting the Fund's expected long-term return potential into regular distributions. As a result, regular distributions throughout the year are likely to include a portion of expected long-term gains (both realized and unrealized), along with net investment income.
Important points to understand about the managed distribution program are:
• Each Fund seeks to establish a relatively stable distribution rate that roughly corresponds to the projected total return from its investment strategy over an extended period of time. However, you should not draw any conclusions about a Fund's past or future investment performance from its current distribution rate.
• Actual returns will differ from projected long-term returns (and therefore a Fund's distribution rate), at least over shorter time periods. Over a specific timeframe, the difference between actual returns and total distributions will be reflected in an increasing (returns exceed distributions) or a decreasing (distributions exceed returns) Fund net asset value.
• Each distribution is expected to be paid from some or all of the following sources:
• net investment income (regular interest and dividends),
• realized capital gains, and
• unrealized gains, or, in certain cases, a return of principal (non-taxable distributions).
• A non-taxable distribution is a payment of a portion of a Fund's capital. When a Fund's returns exceed distributions, it may represent portfolio gains generated, but not realized as a taxable capital gain. In periods when a Fund's return falls short of distributions, the shortfall will represent a portion of your original principal, unless the shortfall is offset during other time periods over the life of your investment (previous or subsequent) when a Fund's total return exceeds distributions.
Nuveen Investments

• Because distribution source estimates are updated during the year based on a Fund's performance and forecast for its current fiscal year (which is the calendar year for each Fund), estimates on the nature of your distributions provided at the time distributions are paid may differ from both the tax information reported to you in your Fund's IRS From 1099 statement provided at year end, as well as the ultimate economic sources of distributions over the life of your investment.
The following table provides information regarding each Fund's distributions and total return performance for the year ended December 31, 2012. This information is intended to help you better understand whether the Funds' returns for the specified time period were sufficient to meet each Fund's distributions.

Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc.
Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc., Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. and Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Funds") at December 31, 2012, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(a) Per share Net Investment Income (Loss) is calculated using the average daily shares method.
(b) For the fiscal years ended subsequent to December 31, 2009, Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
For the fiscal years ended subsequent to December 31, 2009, Total Return Based on Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in net asset value, reinvested divided income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, and prior, the Fund's Total Returns Based on Market Value and Net Asset Value reflect the performance of the Fund based on a calculation approved by Fund management of IQ Investment Advisers, LLC, the Funds' previous investment adviser. Total returns based on the calculations described above may have produced substantially different results. Total returns are not annualized.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
General Information
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") symbols are NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc. (QQQX), Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (DPD) and Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (DPO) (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified closed-end registered investment companies.
On December 31, 2012, the Funds' investment adviser converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company. As a result, Nuveen Fund Advisers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisers, LLC (the "Adviser"). There were no changes to the identities or roles of any personnel as a result of the change.
NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth's (QQQX) investment objective is high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objective principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, substantially all of its net assets in a portfolio of investments (the "NASDAQ Investment Portfolio") designed to closely track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the NASDAQ 100® Index (the "Index"). Second, in attempting to generate premium income and reduce the volatility of the Fund's returns, with the intent of improving the Fund's risk-adjusted returns, the Fund will write (sell) call options on the Index, which are fully collateralized by the NASDAQ Investment Portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the notional value of the written options is not expected to exceed 50% of the Fund's net assets.
Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income's (DPD) investment objective is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objective principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, substantially all of its net assets (including the proceeds of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the thirty stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM ("DJIA") (the "Stocks") in approximately the amounts such Stocks are weighted in the DJIA and/or in other securities or financial instruments that are intended to correlate with the DJIA (the "Other Instruments"). Second, the Fund will write (sell) covered call options on some or all of the Stocks or Other Instruments.
Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income's (DPO) investment objective is to provide a high level of premium and dividend income and the potential for capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will purchase all of the thirty common stocks included in the DJIA, weighted in approximately the same proportions as in the DJIA ("Dow Stocks"). The Fund will also purchase other securities or financial instruments, primarily swap contracts, designed to provide additional investment exposure (i.e., leverage) to the return of the Dow Stocks ("Additional Dow Exposure"). The Dow Stocks and the Additional Dow Exposure are collectively referred to as "Total Dow Exposure." The Fund also will engage in certain option strategies, primarily consisting of writing (selling) covered call options on some or all of the Dow Stocks ("Options"). The Options will be written on approximately 50% (or less) of the Total Dow Exposure at the time they are written. As a result, generally 50% (or more) of the Fund's Total Dow Exposure will have the potential for full capital appreciation. The portion of the Total Dow Exposure subject to the Options will be limited in the amount of capital appreciation that may be obtained.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
Investment Valuation
Common stocks and other equity-type securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded and are generally classified as Level 1 for fair value measurement purposes. Securities primarily traded on the NASDAQ National Market ("NASDAQ") are valued, except as indicated below, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price and are generally classified as Level 1. However, securities traded on a securities exchange or NASDAQ for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a securities exchange or NASDAQ are valued at the quoted bid price and are generally classified as
Nuveen Investments
38
Level 2. Prices of certain American Depositary Receipts ("ADR") held by the Funds that trade in only limited volume in the United States are valued based on the last traded price, official closing price, or the most recent bid price of the underlying non-U.S.-traded stock, adjusted as appropriate for the underlying-to-ADR conversion ratio and foreign exchange rate, and from time-to-time foreign currencies may also be adjusted further to take into account material events that may take place after the close of the local non-U.S. market but before the close of the NYSE, which generally represents a transfer from a Level 1 to a Level 2 security.
Prices of fixed-income securities and total return swap contracts are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds' Board of Directors. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. The pricing service establishes a security's fair value using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments 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. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information about a security, its issuer, or market activity, provided by the Adviser. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs.
Index options are valued at the average of the closing bid and asked quotations. The close of trading of index options traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange normally occurs at 4:15 Eastern Time (ET), which is different from the normal 4:00 ET close of the NYSE (the time of day as of which each Fund's NAV is calculated). Under normal market circumstances, closing index option quotations are considered to reflect the index option contract values as of the close of the NYSE and will be used to value the option contracts. However, a significant change in the S&P 500 or NASDAQ-100 futures contracts between the NYSE close and the options market close will be considered as an indication that closing market quotations for index options do not reflect the value of the contracts as of the stock market close. In the event of such a significant change, the Funds' Board of Directors or its designee will determine a value for the options. Any such valuation will likely take into account any information that may be available about the actual trading price of the affected option as of 4:00 ET, and if no such information is reliably available, the valuation of the option may take into account various option pricing methodologies, as determined to be appropriate under the circumstances. Index options are generally classified as Level 1.
The values of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the closing bid and ask prices. Exchange-traded options are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated mean price and are generally classified as Level 2.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds' Board of Directors or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; debt securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund's net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security's fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of a security would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments 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. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds' Board of Directors or its designee.
Refer to Footnote 2Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method, which is the same basis for federal income tax purposes. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to earmark securities in the Fund's portfolio with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2012, the Funds had no outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Investment Income
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for foreign securities, when information is available. Interest income, which reflects the amortization of premiums and includes accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. In any year when a Fund realizes net capital gains, each Fund may choose to distribute all or a portion of its net capital gains to shareholders, or alternatively, to retain all or a portion of its net capital gains and pay federal corporate income taxes on such retained gains.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to 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. GAAP.
Each Fund makes quarterly cash distributions of a stated dollar amount per share. Subject to approval and oversight by the Funds' Board of Directors, each Fund seeks to maintain a stable distribution level designed to deliver the long-term return potential of the Fund's investment strategy through regular quarterly distributions (a "Managed Distribution Program"). Total distributions during a calendar year generally will be made from a Fund's net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized capital gains in the Fund's portfolio, if any. The portion of distributions paid attributed to net unrealized gains, if any, is distributed from the Fund's assets and is treated by shareholders as a non-taxable distribution ("Return of Capital") for tax purposes. In the event that total distributions during a calendar year exceed the Fund's total return on net asset value, the difference will reduce net asset value per share. If the Fund's total return on net asset value exceeds total distributions during a calendar year, the excess will be reflected as an increase in net asset value per share. The final determination of the source and character of all distributions for the fiscal year are made after the end of the fiscal year and are reflected in the financial statements contained in the annual report as of December 31 each year.
The actual character of distributions made by the Funds during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Options Transactions
Each Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities, futures, swaps ("swaptions") or currencies. The purchase of put options involves the risk of loss of all or a part of the cash paid for the options (the premium). The market risk associated with purchasing put options is limited to the premium paid. The counterparty credit risk of purchasing options, however, needs to take into account the current value of the option, as this is the performance expected from the counterparty. When the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (the premium plus commission) is recognized as a component of "Call and/or Put options purchased, at value" on the Statement of Asset and Liabilities. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recognized as a component of "Call and/or Put options written, at value" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current value of the written option until the option is exercised or expires or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction. The changes in the value of options purchased during the fiscal period are recognized as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of call and/or put options purchased" on the Statement of Operations. The changes in values of the options written during the reporting period are recognized as a component of
Nuveen Investments
40
"Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of call and/or put options written" on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or expires or a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid at expiration or on executing a closing purchase transaction, including commission, is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from call/put options purchased and/or written" on the Statement of Operations. The Fund, as writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. There is also the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX) wrote call options on the NASDAQ 100 Index, while investing in a portfolio of equities, to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential, which is capped at the amount of premium received for each option. NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX) also purchased call options at a higher strike price than the Fund's call options written, which have the effect of allowing the Fund to benefit from strong price increases, if they occur. Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD) and Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium Income (DPO) each wrote call options on individual stocks, while investing in these same stocks, to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential of each stock above the options stock price. There were no other options transactions by the Funds during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
The average notional amount of call options purchased and call options written during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, were as follows:

* The average notional amount is calculated based on the outstanding notional at the beginning of the fiscal year and at the end of each fiscal quarter within the current fiscal year.
Refer to Footnote 3Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Footnote 5Investment Transactions for further details on options activity.
Swap Contracts
Each Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may enter into total return swap contracts to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, or to create exposure to certain securities to which it is otherwise not exposed. Total return swap contracts involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on specified notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of offsetting the interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
Total return swap contracts are valued daily. A Fund accrues daily the periodic payments expected to be paid and received on each swap contract and recognizes the daily change in the market value of the Fund's contractual rights and obligations under the contracts. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on total return swaps (, net)" with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of total return swaps." Income received or paid by a Fund is recognized as a component of "Net realized gain (loss) from total return swaps" on the Statement of Operations, in addition to the net realized gains or losses recognized upon the termination of the swap contract, and are equal to the difference between the Fund's basis in the swap and the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction. The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap contract. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period, if any, are recognized as a component of "Total return swap premiums paid and/or received" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO) entered into total return swap contracts that receive the total return of the DJIA while paying a floating rate of interest; adding leverage and additional equity

Refer to Footnote 3Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on swap activity.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund's exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following is a summary of the three-tiered hierarchy of valuation input levels.
Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted and prices are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs (including management's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of the end of the reporting period:

The Nuveen funds' Board of Directors/Trustees is responsible for the valuation process and has delegated the oversight of the daily valuation process to the Adviser's Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee, pursuant to the valuation policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, is responsible for making fair value determinations, evaluating the effectiveness of the funds' pricing policies, and reporting to the Board of Directors/Trustees. The Valuation Committee is aided in its efforts by the Adviser's dedicated Securities Valuation Team, which is responsible for administering the daily valuation process and applying fair value methodologies as approved by the Valuation Committee. When determining the reliability of independent pricing services for investments owned by the funds, the Valuation Committee, among other things, conducts due diligence reviews of the pricing services and monitors the quality of security prices received through various testing reports conducted by the Securities Valuation Team.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Valuation Committee will consider pricing methodologies it deems relevant and appropriate when making fair value determinations. Examples of possible methodologies include, but are not limited to, multiple of earnings; discount from market of a similar freely traded security; discounted cash-flow analysis; book value or a multiple thereof; risk premium/yield analysis; yield to maturity; and/or fundamental investment analysis. The Valuation Committee will also consider factors it deems relevant and appropriate in light of the facts and circumstances. Examples of possible factors include, but are not limited to, the type of security; the issuer's financial statements; the purchase price of the security; the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase; analysts' research and observations from financial institutions; information regarding any transactions or offers with respect to the security; the existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and the existence of a shelf registration for restricted securities.
For each portfolio security that has been fair valued pursuant to the policies adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees, the fair value price is compared against the last available and next available market quotations. The Valuation Committee reviews the results of such testing and fair valuation occurrences are reported to the Board of Directors/Trustees.
3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Funds record derivative instruments at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are not considered to be hedge transactions for financial reporting purposes. For additional information on the derivative instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the reporting period, refer to the Portfolios of Investments, Financial Statements and Footnote 1General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.
The following tables present the fair value of all derivative instruments held by the Funds as of December 31, 2012, the location of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the primary underlying risk exposure.

6. Income Tax Information
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts as detailed below. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.
As of December 31, 2012, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund's management fee consists of two componentsa fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within the Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all eligible fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables Fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:
Average Daily Managed Assets* |

* For the fund-level and complex-level fees, managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds' use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser as to certain funds to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen Funds that constitute "eligible assets."
Nuveen Investments
48
Eligible assets do not include assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen Funds and assets in excess of $2 billion added to the Nuveen Fund complex in connection with the Adviser's assumption of the management of the former First American Funds effective January 1, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, the complex-level fee rate for these Funds was .1684%.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Adviser is responsible for each Fund's overall strategy and asset allocation decisions. The Adviser has entered into sub-advisory agreements with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, (the "Sub-Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, under which the Sub-Adviser manages the investment portfolios of the Funds. The Sub-Adviser is compensated for its services to the Funds from the management fees paid to the Adviser.
The Funds pays no compensation directly to those of its directors who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors that enables directors to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen-advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen-advised funds.
8. New Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11 ("ASU No. 2011-11") to enhance disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to offsetting ("netting") on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This information will enable users of the entity's financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the entity's financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statements amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report
• Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
• Beta: A measure of the variability of the change in the share price for a Fund in relation to a change in the value of the Fund's market benchmark. Securities with betas higher than 1.0 have been, and are expected to be, more volatile than the benchmark; securities with betas lower than 1.0 have been, and are expected to be, less volatile than the benchmark.
• Current Distribution Rate: An investment's current annualized distribution divided by its current market price.
• Dow Jones Industrial Average: An average that tracks the performance of 30 large cap companies. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
• Effective Leverage: Effective leverage is a Fund's effective economic leverage, and includes both Regulatory Leverage (see below) and the leverage effects of certain derivative investments in the Fund's portfolio that increase the Fund's investment exposure.
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country/region in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending, plus the value of exports, minus the value of imports.
• Leverage: Using borrowed money to invest in securities or other assets, seeking to increase the return of an investment or portfolio.
• NASDAQ-100 Index: An index that includes 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges or management fees.
• Net Asset Value (NAV): The net market value of all securities held in a portfolio.
• Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share: The market value of one share of a mutual fund or closed-end fund. For a Fund, the NAV is calculated daily by taking the Fund's total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), subtracting the Funds's liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding.
• Regulatory Leverage: Regulatory Leverage consists of preferred shares issued by or borrowings of a Fund. Both of these are part of a Fund's capital structure. Regulatory Leverage is sometimes referred to as "'40 Act Leverage" and is subject to asset coverage limits set in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

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 Committees attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC (formerly Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc.) (the Adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (Affiliated Fund Service Provider), for engagements directly related to the Funds operations and financial reporting, from October 28, 2010, the date the Adviser became the Funds investment adviser, through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (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 Committees attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Funds audit is completed.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed during the Funds last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Funds operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the pre-approval exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP about any non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP rendered during the Funds last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating PricewaterhouseCoopers LLPs independence.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple accounts are presented a number of potential conflicts, including, among others, those discussed below.
The management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Nuveen Asset Management seeks to manage such competing interests for the time and attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most accounts managed by a portfolio manager in a particular investment strategy are managed using the same investment models.
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one account, an account may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible accounts. To deal with these situations, Nuveen Asset Management has adopted procedures for allocating limited opportunities across multiple accounts.
With respect to many of its clients accounts, Nuveen Asset Management determines which broker to use to execute transaction orders, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, with respect to certain other accounts, Nuveen Asset Management may be limited by the client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, Nuveen Asset Management may place separate, non-simultaneous, transactions for a Fund and other accounts which may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the detriment of the Fund or the other accounts.
Some clients are subject to different regulations. As a consequence of this difference in regulatory requirements, some clients may not be permitted to engage in all the investment techniques or transactions or to engage in these transactions to the same extent as the other accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Finally, the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Nuveen Asset Management has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of some accounts, with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities.
Nuveen Asset Management has adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts common among investment managers. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION
Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of base pay, an annual cash bonus and long term incentive payments.
Base pay. Base pay is determined based upon an analysis of the portfolio managers general performance, experience, and market levels of base pay for such position.
Annual cash bonus. The Funds portfolio managers are eligible for an annual cash bonus based on investment performance, qualitative evaluation and financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management.
A portion of each portfolio managers annual cash bonus is based on the Funds investment performance, generally measured over the past one- and three or five-year periods unless the portfolio managers tenure is shorter. Investment performance for the Fund generally is determined by evaluating the Funds performance relative to its benchmark(s) and/or Lipper industry peer group.
A portion of the cash bonus is based on a qualitative evaluation made by each portfolio managers supervisor taking into consideration a number of factors, including the portfolio managers team collaboration, expense management, support of personnel responsible for asset growth, and his or her compliance with Nuveen Asset Managements policies and procedures.
The final factor influencing a portfolio managers cash bonus is the financial performance of Nuveen Asset Management based on its operating earnings.
Long-term incentive compensation. Certain key employees of Nuveen Investments and its affiliates, including certain portfolio managers, have received equity interests in the parent company of Nuveen Investments. In addition, certain key employees of Nuveen Asset Management, including certain portfolio managers, have received profits interests in Nuveen Asset Management which entitle their holders to participate in the firms growth over time.
There are generally no differences between the methods used to determine compensation with respect to the Fund and the Other Accounts shown in the table above.
