Nuveen Investments, a leading global provider of investment services to institutions as well as individual investors, today announced that shareholders of the Nuveen Multi-Strategy Income and Growth Fund 2 (NYSE: JQC) approved a change necessary to implement the repositioning of the fund's portfolio at a special shareholder meeting held November 18, 2011.

The repositioning of the fund's portfolio is expected to commence in early 2012, and is intended to increase the attractiveness of the fund's common shares and narrow the fund's trading discount by simplifying its investment mandate to a credit-focused strategy.

More details on the repositioning can be found in the JQC Portfolio Repositioning Overview by clicking here: http://www.nuveen.com/Home/Documents/Default.aspx?fileId=53909. Shareholders will be notified once the portfolio repositioning has been completed.
