CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions and high-net-worth investors today announced the first distribution declaration for the MuniFund Term Preferred shares (MTP) of the Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NVG PrC). This distribution covers the time period of 42 days between the shares’ settlement on October 19, 2009 and the payable date of November 30, 2009. Based on the par amount of $10 per share, this distribution reflects an annualized distribution rate of 2.95 percent.
MuniFund Term Preferred Shares are a new form of preferred share issued by Nuveen municipal bond closed-end funds for the purposes of locking in leverage costs at an attractive fixed tax-exempt cost and to hedge against the risk of rising short-term rates. This hedging effort is designed to improve future common share net earnings and distributions, and to simultaneously provide the opportunity for partial or full liquidity at par for that fund’s outstanding auction-rate preferred shares (ARPS).
