INVESTMENT ADVISER NAME CHANGE

Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management, the Funds’ investment adviser, changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“Nuveen Fund Advisors”). Concurrently, Nuveen Fund Advisors formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities.

NUVEEN INVESTMENTS COMPLETES STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH FAF ADVISORS

On December 31, 2010, Nuveen Investments completed the strategic combination between Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, the largest investment affiliate of Nuveen Investments, and FAF Advisors. As part of this transaction, U.S. Bancorp – the parent of FAF Advisors – received cash consideration and a 9.5% stake in Nuveen Investments in exchange for the long term investment business of FAF Advisors, including investment-management responsibilities for the non-money market mutual funds of the First American Funds family.

The approximately $27 billion of mutual fund and institutional assets managed by FAF Advisors, along with the investment professionals managing these assets and other key personnel, have become part of Nuveen Asset Management, LLC. With these additions to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, this affiliate now manages more than $100 billion of assets across a broad range of strategies from municipal and taxable fixed income to traditional and specialized equity investments.

This combination does not affect the investment objectives or strategies of the Funds in this report. Over time, Nuveen Investments expects that the combination will provide even more ways to meet the needs of investors who work with financial advisors and consultants by enhancing the multi-boutique model of Nuveen Investments, which also includes highly respected investment teams at HydePark, NWQ Investment Management, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors and Winslow Capital. Nuveen Investments managed approximately $195 billion of assets as of December 31, 2010.

NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc. (QQQX) Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (DPD) Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (DPO) Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (GCF)

The NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc. (QQQX), Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (DPD), and Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (DPO) feature portfolio management by HydePark Group, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments. Over this period, Rob Guttschow and John Gambla served as co-portfolio managers for the Funds. In January 2011, after the close of this reporting period, management of these Funds transferred to Keith Hembre, David Friar and James Colon.

The Global Income & Currency Fund (GCF) is managed by Nuveen Asset Management LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. Steven Lee served as a portfolio manager for the Fund during this period. In January 2011, he was joined by Timothy Palmer.

Here the portfolio managers talk about general economic and market conditions, their management strategies and the performance of the Funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

What were the general market conditions during the twelve-month reporting period ending December 31, 2010?

During this reporting period, the U.S. economy remained under considerable stress, and both the Federal Reserve and the federal government continued their efforts to improve the overall economic environment. For its part, the Fed held the benchmark fed funds rate in a target range of zero to 0.25% after cutting it to this record low level in December 2008. At its September 2010 meeting, the central bank renewed its commitment to keep the fed funds rate at “exceptionally low levels” for an “extended period.” The Fed also stated that it was “prepared to take further policy actions as needed” to support economic recovery. The federal government continued to focus on implementing the economic stimulus package passed early in 2009 that was intended to provide job creation, tax relief, fiscal assistance to state and local governments, and expand unemployment benefits and other federal social welfare programs. Cognizant of the fragility of the financial system, in the fall of 2010 the Federal Reserve announced a second round of quantitative easing designed to help stimulate increased economic activity.

Recently, nearly all U.S. indicators of production, spending, and labor market activity have pointed toward an acceleration in economic growth. At the same time, inflation has remained relatively tame, as the Consumer Price Index rose just 1.5% year-over-year as of December 31, 2010. However, unemployment remained at historically high levels. As of December 2010, the national unemployment rate was 9.4%. In addition, the housing

market continued to show signs of weakness with the average home price in the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Index of 20 large metro areas falling 1.6% over the twelve months ended November 2010 (the latest available figures at the time this report was prepared).

Overall, the U.S. stock market performed well during the twelve-month period, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) climbing 14%, the S&P 500 Index advancing 15% and the NASDAQ-100 Index gaining 19%. Looking overseas, Europe’s central bankers announced a $1 trillion bailout package to contain the situation with Greece and possibly help Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland. Ireland subsequently applied for a bailout to rescue its banking system.

Over this period, what key strategies were used to manage the Funds?

QQQX seeks to provide high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund pursues these objectives principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, substantially all of its net assets in a portfolio designed to closely track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the NASDAQ-100 Index. This portfolio may include stocks which are members of the Index, stocks which are not members of the Index, and other investments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities that constitute the Index. These other investments may include futures, forwards, swaps, option contracts based on the Index and options on futures and swaps, as well as investment funds or baskets of securities with a composition similar to all or a portion of the Index. Second, in attempting to generate premium income and reduce the volatility of the Fund’s return, with the intent of improving the Fund’s risk-adjusted return, the Fund will write (sell) call options on the Index which are fully collateralized by the Fund’s investment portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the notional value of the written options is not expected to exceed 50% of the Fund’s net assets.

DPD’s investment objective also is to provide a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this principally through a two-part strategy. First, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, substantially all of its net assets in the 30 stocks included in the DJIA 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. Second, the Fund will write (sell) covered call options on some or all of the stocks or other instruments in its portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the notional value of the written options is expected to equal approximately 40%-60% of the Fund’s net assets.

Similarly, DPO seeks to provide a high level of premium and dividend income and the potential for capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will purchase all 30 stocks included in the DJIA, weighted in approximately the same proportions as in the DJIA. The Fund also will purchase other securities or financial instruments, primarily swap contracts, designed to provide additional investment exposure (i.e., leverage) to the return of the Fund’s equity holdings. The Fund also will engage in certain option strategies, primarily consisting of writing (selling) covered call options on some or all of the DJIA stocks. The options will be written on approximately 40%-60% of the Fund’s DJIA exposure at the time they are written.

1.	The since inception date for QQQX is 1/30/07, for DPD is 4/29/05, for DPO is 5/30/07 and for GCF is 4/28/06.

 

2.	The NASDAQ-100 Index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial securities listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. Returns do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees. It is not possible to invest directly in this index.

 

3.	The Dow Jones Industrial Average tracks the performance of 30 large cap companies. Returns do not include the effects of any sales charges or management fees. It is not possible to invest directly in this average.

 

4.	The London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is the rate that contributor banks in London offer each other for three-month inter-bank deposits. The rate does not reflect sales charges or management fees. It is not possible to investor directly in LIBOR.

 

GCF seeks to provide current income while also seeking total returns. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by constructing and actively managing a portfolio of investments that provides long and short exposure to selected foreign currencies. The Fund’s portfolio generally is comprised of short-term fixed-income securities and investments in other instruments that provide long and short exposure to foreign currencies.

Eligible foreign currencies are selected from countries that, in our opinion, have a well developed capital market infrastructure. This universe is then screened to remove any currencies whose value is determined by reference to other currencies (i.e. “pegged” currencies) and currencies that in our opinion do not have sufficient trading liquidity. Next, we analyze political and economic factors to eliminate currencies we believe to be too volatile or otherwise undesirable for investment at that time.

The remaining currencies then are ranked from the highest yielding to the lowest yielding based upon the yield of local short-term government obligations denominated in that country’s currency, adjusted for local inflation. The Fund then invests in instruments providing long exposure to the highest yielding currencies and investments in instruments providing short exposure to the lowest yielding currencies. In making these investments that provide long and short exposure, the Fund invests by buying or selling foreign sovereign debt securities, or alternatively through the use of currency contracts that provide exposure to the respective currencies.

In addition, we employ a proprietary risk reduction methodology that seeks to improve the Fund’s risk-adjusted returns. The proprietary risk reduction methodology consists of two quantitative models, one which focuses on the risks inherent in individual currencies and one which evaluates overall currency risk premiums. These models are intended to help us reduce or eliminate exposure to certain currency investments when it appears, in our opinion, that market conditions or trends will cause their value to decline significantly.

For the twelve-month period ending December 31 2010, QQQX and DPD underperformed their respective comparisons, while DPO and GCF outperformed their comparatives.

In QQQX we sought to dampen the volatility of the overall portfolio by selling call options on a broad equity index, based on a percentage of the Fund’s net asset value, while investing in a portfolio of equities to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential. While this strategy provided incremental cash flow to the Fund, it effectively limited the ability of the Fund to participate fully in the significant market rally that occurred over the course of the period. This was the primary factor affecting the Fund’s underperformance relative to the index.

As the equity portfolio of DPD is constructed to substantially replicate the securities in the DJIA, its performance is expected to be very similar to this measure. As described previously, the Fund seeks to reduce the volatility of the overall portfolio by selling call options on securities held in the portfolio to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential. The options sold provide incremental cash flow in exchange for giving up the potential upside of each stock above the options strike. 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 DJIA. In rising markets, such as we experienced in 2010, the options can hurt the Funds total return relative to the DJIA.

DPO also sought to reduce the volatility of the overall portfolio by selling call options on a pro-rata percentage of each name held in the portfolio to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential. The options sold provided incremental cash flow in exchange for giving up the potential upside of each stock above the options strike. However, this Fund also purchased other securities or financial instruments, primarily swap contracts, designed to provide additional investment exposure. The net effect was to leverage the Fund’s equity holdings in a rising equity price environment, positively impacting the Fund’s performance.

As noted, GCF employed a long/short currency strategy during the period buying currencies expected to appreciate and selling currencies expected to depreciate. The Fund was able to benefit from the volatility resulting from the European sovereign debt crisis. We shorted the euro and Swiss franc which contributed to our outperformance relative to 3-month LIBOR.

Our long positions in the Brazilian real and Mexican peso enhanced performance as well. Both countries have high yielding currencies with strong fundamentals. In particular, Mexico had attractive valuations in 2010. Also, our stop loss methodology based on momentum indicators gave us warning early enough to get out of our long positions when the market became risk averse.

Detracting somewhat from performance was our long position in the Hungarian forint, which was hurt by its indirect euro exposure. Also negatively impacting performance was our short position in the Canadian dollar.

Distribution and Share Price Information

 

The following information regarding your Fund’s distributions is current as of December 31, 2010, and likely will vary over time based on the Fund’s investment activities and portfolio investment value changes.

During the twelve-month reporting period, QQQX reduced its quarterly distribution to shareholders during March and DPD and DPO reduced their monthly distributions to shareholders during January. GCF did not make any changes to its quarterly distributions to shareholders. Effective January 1, 2011, DPD and DPO will begin paying distributions to shareholders quarterly, with their first quarterly distributions payable to shareholders during April 2011. Some of the important factors affecting these 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.

 

•

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.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc.

Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc.

Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc.

Global Income & Currency 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 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc., Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. and Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2010, and 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 the two years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and prior, were audited by other independent auditors whose reports, dated February 27, 2009 for NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc., Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc., and Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc., and March 13, 2009 for Global Income & Currency Fund Inc., expressed unqualified opinions on those statements.

(a)	Per share Net Investment Income (Loss) is calculated using the average daily shares method.

(b)

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, 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 year ended December 31, 2010, 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 prior to December 31, 2010, 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 Advisors. Total returns based on the calculations described above may have produced substantially different results. Total returns are not annualized.

(c)	After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.

(d)	For the period January 30, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31,2007.

(e)	For the period May 30, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31,2007.

(f)	For the period April 28, 2006 (commencement of operations) through December 31,2006.

*	Annualized.

**	Rounds to less than $.01 per share.

^	Includes repurchase offer fees, which are less than $.01 per share.

(DPD), Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (DPO) and Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (GCF) (collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end registered investment companies.

After the close of business on October 6, 2010, for Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD), Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO) and Global Income & Currency (GCF), and after the close of business on October 28, 2010, for NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX), Nuveen Asset Management (“the Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”), assumed the role of investment adviser for the Funds from IQ Investment Advisers LLC (“IQ Advisors”) following a vote by shareholders of each Fund. The transition from IQ Advisors to the Advisor did not result in any change to the Funds’ investment objectives or principal investment strategies.

Effective January 1, 2011, Nuveen Asset Management, the Funds’ Adviser, has changed its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“Nuveen Fund Advisors”). Concurrently, Nuveen Fund Advisors has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nuveen Asset Management, LLC, to house its portfolio management capabilities. Nuveen Asset Management, LLC now serves as the sub-adviser for Global Income & Currency (GCF).

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. 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 30^SM 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 Average^SM (“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 30^SM 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.

Global Income & Currency’s (GCF) investment objective is to provide current income while also seeking total returns. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by constructing and actively managing a portfolio of investments that provides long and short exposure to selected foreign currencies. The Fund’s portfolio will be comprised of short-term fixed income securities and investments in other instruments that provide long and short exposure to the eligible currencies selected by the Fund’s sub-adviser using the investment process described in its prospectus. In implementing its investment strategy, the Fund’s sub-adviser begins the investment process by investing all or substantially all of the Fund’s assets primarily in short-term debt securities, including, but not limited to, foreign sovereign debt securities, securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities, debt obligations of corporate issuers and other debt securities that the Fund’s sub-adviser believes are appropriate investments for the Fund (the “Debt Securities”). Following its investment in the Debt Securities, the Fund’s sub-adviser generally will make investments in forward contracts and other instruments that provide exposure to selected foreign currencies.

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. 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 mean between the quoted bid and ask prices and are generally classified as Level 1. Investments in open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values on the valuation date. These investment vehicles are generally classified as Level 1. Prices of certain American Depository Receipts (“ADR”) held by the Fund that trade in the United States are valued based on the last traded price, official closing price, or mean between the most recent bid and ask prices 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. These triggers generally represent a transfer from a Level 1 to a Level 2 security.

Prices of fixed-income securities, total return swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. Prices of fixed-income securities are based on the mean between the bid and asked prices. When price quotes are not readily available for fixed-income securities, total return swaps and forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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. Highly rated zero coupon fixed-income securities, like U.S. Treasury Bills, issued with maturities of one year or less, are valued using the amortized cost method when 60 days or less remain until maturity. With amortized cost, any discount or premium is amortized each day, regardless of the impact of fluctuating rates on the market value of the security. These securities will generally be classified as Level 2.

The values of exchange-traded options are based on the mean of the bid and ask prices. Exchange-traded options are generally classified as Level 1. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using market implied volatilities and are generally classified as Level 2.

Euro dollar time deposits are valued at contract amount plus interest, which approximates market value. These securities are generally classified as Level 1.

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 Fund’s 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 an issue of securities would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them it in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of such these 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 2 – Fair 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 investment 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 segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At December 31, 2010, 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 accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income also reflects paydown gains and losses, if any.

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.

NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX) and Global Income & Currency (GCF) make quarterly cash distributions and Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD) and Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO) make monthly to shareholders 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/monthly 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.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Each Fund is authorized to engage in foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. To the extent that the Funds invest in securities and/or contracts that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the Funds will be subject to currency risk, which is the risk that an increase in the U.S. dollar relative to the foreign currency will reduce returns or portfolio value. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Fund’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. dollar falls in relative value. Investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars on a spot (i.e. cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Investments, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date of the transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received.

The realized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps, and swaptions written are recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency,” when applicable.

The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in foreign exchange rates associated with other assets and liabilities on investments are recognized as a component of “Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments and foreign currency,” when applicable. The unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps and swaptions written are recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (deprecation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options written, swaps and swaptions written, respectively ” when applicable.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

Each Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in an attempt to manage such risk under two circumstances: (i) when a Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency to “lock in” the U.S. exchange rate of the transaction, with such period being a short-dated contract covering the period between transaction date and settlement date; or (ii) when the Adviser, believes that the currency of a particular foreign country may experience a substantial movement against the U.S. dollar or against another foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the forward rate and are recognized as a componet of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the contracts during the reporting period is recognized as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund recognizes the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was entered and the value at the time it was closed or offset as a componet of “Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency exchange contracts” on the Statement of Operations.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts will generally not be entered into for terms greater than three months, but may have maturities of up to six months or more. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of a Fund’s investment securities; however, it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted. A forward foreign currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Global Income & Currency (GCF) entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, buying currencies expected to appreciate and selling currencies expected to depreciate. The average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, were as follows:

 

		Global Income & Currency (GCF)
Average number of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding			16

Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on forward foreign currency exchange contract activity.

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 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 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 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 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 “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options written” on the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised or expires or the 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 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.

The following Funds wrote call options during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, to enhance returns while foregoing some upside potential.

The Funds did not purchase call or put options during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The average notional amount of call option written during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, were as follows:

 

		NASDAQ* Premium Income & Growth (QQQX)				Dow 30SM** Premium  & Dividend Income (DPD)				Dow 30SM** Enhanced Premium  & Income (DPO)
Average notional amount of call options written		$	(125,912,500	)		$	(76,675,488	)		$	(171,849,106	)

 

*	The Fund wrote call options on a broad equity index.

**	The Fund wrote call options on individual stocks.

Refer to Footnote 3 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further details on options activity.

Swap Contracts

Each Fund is authorized to enter into swap contracts consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e. duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).

Each Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may enter into a total return swap contract to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, or to create exposure to certain debt 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. The Funds accrue daily the periodic payments expected to be paid and received on each swap contract and recognize the daily change in the market value of the Funds’ 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” with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swaps.” Income received or paid by a Fund is recognized as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from 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 Funds’ 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, 2010, Dow 30^SM 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 equity exposure to the Fund. The average notional amount of total return swap contacts outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, were as follows:

 

		Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium  & Income (DPO)
Average notional amount of total return swaps outstanding		$	85,720,239

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 clearing house, 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. Tax-exempt 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.

Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its 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 expects 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

In determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments, various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 – 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 risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of December 31, 2010:

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Funds recognized no significant transfers to/from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3.

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 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

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.

At December 31, 2010, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments (excluding investments in derivatives), as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

 

		NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX)				Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD)				Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO)				Global Income & Currency (GCF)
Cost of investments		$	205,245,697			$	146,684,495			$	310,818,430			$	87,184,163

Depreciation			(12,494,273	)			(10,117,596	)			(39,507,272	)			(165,524	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments		$	68,641,555			$	27,945,440			$	(14,643,290	)		$	1,222,649

Permanent differences, primarily due to return of capital distributions, foreign currency reclasses, net operating losses and tax basis earning and profits adjustments resulted in reclassifications among the Funds’ components of net assets at December 31, 2010, the Funds’ tax year-end, as follows:

 

		NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX)				Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD)				Dow 30SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO)				Global Income & Currency (GCF)
Paid-in surplus		$	(24,026,179	)		$	(12,117,505	)		$	(24,185,138	)		$	(3,092,476	)
Undistributed (Over-distribution of) net investment income			24,026,179				12,117,505				24,185,138				5,717,810
Accumulated net realized gain (loss)			–				–				–				(2,625,334	)

The tax components of undistributed net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains at December 31, 2010, the Funds’ tax year end, were as follows:

The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

Average Daily Managed Assets		NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX) Dow 30SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD) Dow 30SM Enhanced  Premium & Income (DPO) Global Income & Currency (GCF) Fund-Level Fee Rate
For the first $500 million			0.7000	%
For the next $500 million			0.6750
For the next $500 million			0.6500
For the next $500 million			0.6250
For managed assets over $2 billion			0.6000

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated according to the following schedule:

 

Complex-Level Managed Asset Breakpoint Level*		Effective Rate at Breakpoint Level
$55 billion			.2000	%
$56 billion			.1996
$57 billion			.1989
$60 billion			.1961
$63 billion			.1931
$66 billion			.1900
$71 billion			.1851
$76 billion			.1806
$80 billion			.1773
$91 billion			.1691
$125 billion			.1599
$200 billion			.1505
$250 billion			.1469
$300 billion			.1445

* 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.” 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, 2010, the complex-level fee rate was .1831%.

On October 6, 2010, for Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD) and Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO), and on October 28, 2010, for NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX), the Adviser entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund with HydePark.

On January 1, 2011, the Advisor entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC for Global Income & Currency (GCF).

HydePark and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC are compensated for their services to each Fund from the management fee paid to the Adviser. The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities.

The Fund 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 Fund 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.

For the period October 6, 2010, through August 1, 2012, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse expenses of Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income (DPD), Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income (DPO) and Global Income & Currency (GCF) (including management fees and other fees and expenses) so that the Funds’ total operating expenses do not exceed such Funds’ total operating expense for the last fiscal year prior to October 6, 2010.

For the period October 28, 2010, through August 1, 2012, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse expenses of NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth (QQQX), (including management fees and other fees and expenses) so that the Fund’s total operating expenses do not exceed such Fund’s total operating expense for the last fiscal year prior to October 28, 2010.

Investment Management

Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited)

 

A. Background

Prior to October 6, 2010 (the “First Transition Date”), IQ Investment Advisors LLC (“IQ Advisors”) served as investment adviser to the Dow 30^SM Premium & Dividend Income Fund Inc. (the “Dow 30 Fund”), the Dow 30^SM Enhanced Premium & Income Fund Inc. (the “Dow 30 Enhanced Fund”) and the Global Income & Currency Fund Inc. (the “Global Income Fund”) and Nuveen Asset Management (“NAM”) served as investment sub-adviser to the Global Income Fund. Prior to October 28, 2010 (the “Second Transition Date”; the First Transition Date and the Second Transition Date are each a “Transition Date”), IQ Advisors served as investment adviser to the NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc. (the “NASDAQ Premium Fund”). In addition, Nuveen HydePark Group, LLC (“HydePark”) served as investment sub-adviser to the Dow 30 Fund, the Dow 30 Enhanced Fund and the NASDAQ Premium Fund (collectively, the “HydePark Subadvised Funds”) prior to each such Fund’s Transition Date and continues to serve as each HydePark Subadvised Fund’s investment sub-adviser pursuant to the respective New HydePark Sub-Advisory Agreement (as defined below).

IQ Advisors had determined earlier in the year 2010 to discontinue the portion of its business involving the provision of investment management services to registered investment companies, such as the Funds. In order to effect an orderly transition and continue the management of each Fund without interruption, IQ Advisors recommended to the Boards of Directors (each, a “Prior Board”) serving the Funds as directors at that time (each such director, a “Prior Director” and, collectively, the “Prior Directors”) to consider NAM as a candidate to assume the role of investment adviser. Accordingly, at an in-person meeting held on June 18, 2010, the Prior Directors, all of whom were not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), approved a new investment management agreement between each Fund and NAM (each, a “New Management Agreement”) and, with respect to each HydePark Subadvised Fund, a new sub-advisory agreement between NAM and HydePark (each, a “New HydePark Sub-Advisory Agreement”), and authorized their submission to the Funds’ respective stockholders for their consideration. No sub-advisory arrangement was proposed for the Global Income Fund at that time given that it was anticipated that NAM would manage the assets of the Fund directly. At the meetings of the stockholders of the Dow 30 Fund, the Dow 30 Enhanced Fund and the Global Income Fund held on September 30, 2010 and a meeting of the stockholders of the NASDAQ Premium Fund held on October 22, 2010, the Funds’ stockholders, among other things, approved the respective New Management Agreement with NAM and the stockholders of the HydePark Subadvised Funds approved the respective New HydePark Sub-Advisory Agreement, all of which subsequently became effective on the applicable Transition Date. In connection with the transition, the stockholders of the Funds at separate stockholders’ meetings also elected a new board of directors (each, a “New Board,” and each new director, a “New Director” and, collectively, the “New Directors”), who took office as of the applicable Transition Date, and each of the Funds’ Prior Directors resigned at such time. The considerations of the Prior Board in approving the respective New Management Agreement and, with respect to the HydePark Subadvised Funds, the respective New HydePark Sub-Advisory Agreement, are summarized in the Funds’ semi-annual reports dated as of June 30, 2010.

B. New Board Approval of Sub-Advisory Arrangement with Nuveen Asset Management, LLC for the Global Income Fund

Since the Transition Dates, Nuveen has engaged in an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to which the portfolio management services provided by NAM to certain funds in the Nuveen fund complex would be transferred to Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“NAM LLC”), a newly-organized wholly-owned subsidiary of NAM and NAM would change its name to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (“NFA”). NAM, under its new name NFA, will continue to serve as investment adviser to each Fund and, in that capacity, will continue to provide various oversight, administrative, compliance and other services to each Fund. The Restructuring will not result in any

---

changes to the New HydePark Sub-Advisory Agreements under which HydePark serves as sub-adviser to the HydePark Subadvised Funds.

In connection with the Restructuring, with respect to the Global Income Fund, NFA will enter into a sub-advisory agreement with NAM LLC on behalf of such Fund (the “Global Income Fund Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Under the Global Income Fund Sub-Advisory Agreement, NAM LLC, subject to the oversight of NFA and the New Board, will furnish an investment program, make investment decisions for, and place all orders for the purchase and sale of securities for the portion of the Global Income Fund’s investment portfolio allocated to it by NFA. There will be no change in the advisory fees paid by the Global Income Fund. Rather, NFA will pay a portion of the investment advisory fee it receives to NAM LLC for its sub-advisory services. The New Directors who are not parties to the advisory agreements or “interested persons” of any parties (such New Directors, the “New Independent Directors”), reviewed the allocation of fees between NFA and NAM LLC. NFA and NAM LLC do not anticipate any reduction in the nature or level of services provided to the Global Income Fund following the Restructuring. The personnel of NFA who engaged in portfolio management activities prior to the spinoff of NAM LLC are not expected to materially change as a result of the spinoff. In light of the foregoing, at a meeting held on November 16-18, 2010, the New Directors, including a majority of the New Independent Directors, approved the Global Income Fund Sub-Advisory Agreement. Given that the Restructuring was not expected to reduce the level or nature of services provided and the advisory fees paid by the Global Income Fund were the same, the New Directors noted that the factors considered and determinations made by the Prior Directors at their meeting held on June 18, 2010 when they approved the New Management Agreement for such Fund should still be applicable.

Reinvest Automatically

Easily and Conveniently

 

Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.

Nuveen Closed-End Funds Automatic Reinvestment Plan

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest 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. Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on distributions that are reinvested.

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 quarter you’ll receive a statement showing your total 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. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on 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 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.

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 financial 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.

Call today to start reinvesting distributions

For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800)257-8787.

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.

 

¢

Current Distribution Rate: Market yield is based on the Fund’s current annualized monthly/quarterly distribution divided by the Fund’s current market price. The Fund’s monthly/quarterly distributions to its shareholders may be comprised of ordinary income, net realized capital gains and, if at the end of the calendar year the Fund’s cumulative net ordinary income and net realized gains are less than the amount of the Fund’s distributions, a tax return of capital.

 

¢

Net Asset Value (NAV): A Fund’s NAV per common share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund. NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant’s Board of Directors or Trustees (“Board”) 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. As of January 1, 2011, the registrant’s audit committee financial expert is Carole E. Stone, who is “independent” for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Ms. Stone served for five years as Director of the New York State Division of the Budget. As part of her role as Director, Ms. Stone was actively involved in overseeing the development of the State’s operating, local assistance and capital budgets, its financial plan and related documents; overseeing the development of the State’s bond-related disclosure documents and certifying that they fairly presented the State’s financial position; reviewing audits of various State and local agencies and programs; and coordinating the State’s system of internal audit and control.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

NASDAQ Premium Income & Growth Fund Inc.

The following tables show the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Fund’s auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund’s last two full fiscal years. For engagements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers 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 Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

SERVICES THAT THE FUND’S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE FUND

 

Fiscal Year Ended		Audit Fees Billed to Fund 1				Audit-Related Fees Billed to Fund 2				Tax Fees Billed to Fund 3				All Other Fees Billed to Fund 4

¹ “Audit Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements and services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

² “Audit Related Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

³ “Tax Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning.

⁴ “All Other Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for products and services for agreed upon procedures engagements performed for leveraged funds.

SERVICES THAT THE FUND’S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc. (formerly Nuveen Asset Management) (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 Fund’s operations and financial reporting, from October 28, 2010, the date the Adviser became the Fund’s 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 Committee’s attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund’s audit is completed.

 

		Audit-Related Fees Billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers				Tax Fees Billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers				All Other Fees Billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service  Providers

Percentage approved pursuant to pre-approval exception			0	%			0	%			0	%

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

The following table shows the amount of fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed during the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP’s independence.

 

Fiscal Year Ended		Total Non-Audit Fees Billed to Fund				Total Non-Audit Fees billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund)				Total Non-Audit Fees billed to Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (all other engagements)				Total
December 31, 2010 1		$	0			$	0			$	0			$       0
December 31, 2009		$	8,500			$	0			$	0			$8,500

“Non-Audit Fees billed to Fund” for both fiscal year ends represent “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” billed to Fund in their respective amounts from the previous table.

¹ The Fund was acquired on October 28, 2010.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund’s independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund.

ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.

a) See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.

b) Not applicable.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The Adviser, Nuveen Fund Advisors, Inc., has engaged Nuveen HydePark Group, LLC (the “HydePark”), as sub-adviser to provide discretionary investment advisory services to the Fund. As part of these services, the Adviser has also delegated to HydePark the full responsibility for proxy voting and related duties in accordance with HydePark’s policy and procedures. The Adviser periodically will monitor HydePark’s voting to ensure that they are carrying out their duties.

HydePark has engaged the services of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) to vote proxies relating to securities held by the Fund. HydePark may instruct ISS not to vote proxies in respect of any issue if it determines it would be in the Fund’s overall best interest not to vote. Generally, HydePark would instruct ISS not to vote proxies associated with the securities of any issuer if, as a result of voting, subsequent purchases or sales of such securities would be blocked. However, HydePark may decide, on an individual security basis, that it is in the best interests of the Fund for ISS to vote the proxy associated with such a security, taking into account the loss of liquidity. In addition, HydePark may instruct ISS not to vote proxies where the voting would, in HydePark’s judgment, result in some other financial, legal or regulatory disability or burden to HydePark or the Fund (such as imputing control with respect to the issuer). In addition, HydePark may determine not to vote a proxy if, in its judgment, the expense and administrative inconvenience outweighs the benefits to the Fund of voting the securities.

If HydePark determines that it wishes to override ISS’s recommendations and vote the proxy, it must first determine whether voting the proxy would present it with a material conflict of interest. Voting the securities of an issuer where the following relationships or circumstances exist is deemed to give rise to a material conflict of interest:

 

(i)

The issuer is an investment advisory client of HydePark that pays (or is expected to pay) fees to HydePark in excess of 1% of HydePark’s annual revenue in the year in which the proxy is to be voted;

 

(ii)

The issuer is an entity in which an executive officer of HydePark or a relative of any such person is or was (within the past three years of the proxy vote) an executive officer or director or employee; or

 

(iii)

Any other circumstance that HydePark is aware of HydePark’s duty to serve its clients’ interests, typically referred to as its “duty of loyalty,” could be materially compromised.

A conflict of interest shall not be considered material in respect of a specific vote or circumstance if the matter to be voted on relates to a restructuring of the terms of existing securities or the issuance of new securities or a similar matter arising out of the holding of securities, other than common equity, in the context of a bankruptcy or threatened bankruptcy of the issuer, even if a conflict described in the three bullets above is present.

In its process of determining whether there are material conflicts of interest, HydePark does not consider nonpublic information about the business arrangements of its affiliates or their officers and directors. Business arrangements that HydePark is not actively involved in shall not be deemed to raise a material conflict of interest for HydePark.

Where a material conflict of interest has been identified by HydePark and ISS does not offer a recommendation on the matter, HydePark shall disclose the conflict and HydePark’s Proxy Voting Committee shall determine the manner in which to vote and notify the Fund’s Board or its designated committee.

POTENTIAL MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

HydePark’s portfolio manager’s simultaneous management of the Fund and the other accounts may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Fund and the other accounts. HydePark, however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that HydePark primarily invests in highly liquid equity securities with sufficient availability in the open market. In addition, HydePark has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager. In addition, HydePark has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.

Item 8(a)(3). FUND MANAGER COMPENSATION

Compensation for key investment professionals of HydePark consists of competitive base salary and an annual cash bonus. For certain portfolio managers, base salary has been set in conjunction with the signing of long-term employment agreements. A compensation committee reviews and determines the amount of bonus for each individual by examining several quantitative and qualitative factors. For those individuals with specific investment sectors assigned to them, their annual performance relative to the annual performance of that sector is an important factor. Other factors include the investment professional’s contribution to the business results and overall business strategy, success of marketing and client servicing, as well as managerial and demonstrated leadership. Not all factors apply to each investment professional and there is no particular weighting or formula for considering certain factors.

Each HydePark portfolio manager is also eligible to receive long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity-based awards. The amount of such compensation is dependent upon the same factors articulated for cash bonus awards but also factors in the portfolio manager’s long-term potential with the firm.
