Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders

[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER]

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

The financial markets in which your Fund operates continue to reflect the larger
economic crosscurrents. The illiquidity that infected global credit markets over
the last year appears to be slowly but steadily receding. The major institutions
that are the linchpin of the international financial system are strengthening
their capital structures, but many still struggle with losses in their various
portfolios. There are encouraging signs of recovery in European and Asian
economies, while the U.S. economy continues to feel the impact of job losses and
an over-borrowed consumer. Global trends include modestly increasing trade and
increased concern about the ability of the U.S. government to address its
substantial budgetary deficits. Identifying those developments that will define
the future is never easy, but rarely is it more difficult than at present.

After considerable volatility in the first few months of 2009, both the
fixed-income and equity markets have seen a partial recovery. A fundamental
component of a successful long-term investment program is a commitment to remain
invested during market downturns in order to be better positioned to benefit
from any recovery. Another component is to re-evaluate investment disciplines
and tactics and to confirm their validity following periods of extreme
volatility and market dislocation, such as we have recently experienced. Your
Board carried out an intensive review of investment performance with these
objectives in mind during April and May of this year as part of the annual
management contract renewal process. I encourage you to read the description of
this process in the Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
section of this report.

Remaining invested through market downturns and reconfirming the appropriateness
of a long term investment strategy is as important for our shareholders as it is
for professional investment managers. For that reason, I again encourage you to
remain in communication with your financial consultant on these subjects. For
recent developments on all your Nuveen Funds, please visit the Nuveen web site:
www.nuveen.com.

Nuveen remains committed to resolving the issues connected with outstanding
auction rate preferred shares. In September 2009, Nuveen completed the
refinancing at par of all the outstanding auction rate preferred shares issued
by its taxable closed-end funds. For a variety of reasons, refinancing the
remaining outstanding preferred shares issued by the municipal closed-end funds
is taking longer but Nuveen is diligently pursuing a range of options to
accomplish this. Please consult the Nuveen web site for the most recent
information about the redemption of municipal auction rate preferred shares.

On behalf of the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward to
continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead. Sincerely,

/s/ Robert P. Bremner

Portfolio manager Scott Romans examines key investment strategies and the

He assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPC and NCL in 2005.

WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE
SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009?

During this reporting period, municipal bond prices generally rose, as strong
cash flows into municipal bond funds combined with tighter new issue supply to
provide favorable supply and demand conditions.

Given the restricted supply during the period, investment activity in the
California Funds was more limited than usual. One reason for the supply
reduction was the introduction of the Build America Bonds program. Build America
Bonds are a new class of taxable municipal debt created as part of the February
2009 economic stimulus package. They provide municipal issuers with a federal
subsidy equal to 35% of the security's interest payments, and therefore offer
issuers an attractive alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt. As of August
31, 2009, approximately 20% of new bonds issued in the municipal market have
been issued as taxable Build America Bonds, which has reduced the supply of
traditional tax-exempt municipal bond issuance. For the insured Funds, this
situation was compounded by the severe decline in the issuance of AAA-rated
insured bonds. During the first eight months of 2009, new insured bonds
accounted for only 10.8% of national issuance, compared with 20.7% during the
first eight months of 2008 and historical levels of approximately 50%. While we
did see some new insured issuance during this period, none of it offered enough
compelling opportunities to warrant significant turnover and its potential
impact on earnings.

When purchase opportunities did arise, we continued to focus on relative value,
as we took a bottom-up approach to discovering undervalued sectors and
individual credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. In
some cases, we were able to add lower-rated and non-rated credits that we
believed offered value at historically very attractive prices.

Cash for new purchases during this period was generated largely by bond calls.
During the spring of 2009, some of the Funds also sold positions in California
general obligation (GO) bonds prior to the credit problems experienced by the
state during the summer.

We continued to use inverse floating rate securities(1) in all of these Funds.
We employ inverse floaters for a variety of reasons, including duration(2)
management, income enhancement and as a form of financial leverage. As of August
31, 2009, the inverse floaters remained in place in all of these Funds.

For the six months ended August 31, 2009, the cumulative returns on common share
net asset value (NAV) for NCU, NAC, NVX and NZH exceeded the returns on the
Standard & Poor's (S&P) California Municipal Bond Index. NAC and NZH
outperformed the average return for the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds
Average while NCU and NVX underperformed the Lipper average return. All of these
Funds outperformed the Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index for
the period.

*Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year and ten-year
are annualized.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of
taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale
of Fund shares.

For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your
Fund in this report.

(1)   An inverse floating rate security, also known as inverse floaters, is a
      financial instrument designed to pay long-term tax-exempt interest at a
      rate that varies inversely with a short-term tax-exempt interest rate
      index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index typically used is the Securities
      Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index (previously
      referred to as the Bond Market Association Index or BMA). Inverse
      floaters, including those inverse floating rate securities in which the
      Funds invested during the reporting period, are further defined within the
      Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
      sections of this report.

(2)   Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
      change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
      changes than bonds with shorter durations.

(3)   The Standard & Poor's (S&P) California Municipal Bond Index is an
      unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
      performance of the investment-grade California municipal bond market. This
      index does not reflect any initial or on going expenses and is not
      available for direct investment.

(4)   The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
      returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
      follows: Six-months, 24 funds; 1-year, 24 funds; 5-year, 24 funds; and
      10-year, 12 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of
      dividends.

(5)   The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an
      unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
      performance of the investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market, while the
      Standard & Poor's (S&P) Insured National Municipal Bond Index is an
      unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
      performance of the insured segment of the U.S. municipal bond market. The
      indexes do not reflect any initial or on going expenses and are not
      available for direct investment.

(6)   The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Municipal Bond Index is an
      unleveraged, unmanaged national index comprising a broad range of
      investment-grade municipal bonds, while the Barclays Capital (formerly
      Lehman Brothers) Insured Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
      national index containing a broad range of insured municipal bonds.
      Results for the Barclays Capital indexes do not reflect any expenses and
      are not available for direct investment.

(7)   The Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated
      using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period
      as follows: Six-months, 44 funds; 1-year, 44 funds; 5-year, 44 funds; and
      10-year, 24 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of
      dividends.

For the insured Funds during the same period, the cumulative returns on common
share NAV for NCL, NKL and NKX exceeded the returns on the Standard & Poor's
(S&P) California Municipal Bond Index. NPC performed in line with the Standard &
Poor's (S&P) California Municipal Bond Index. The four insured Funds
underperformed the average return on the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal
Debt Funds Average. All of the Funds except NPC outperformed the Standard &
Poor's (S&P) Insured National Municipal Bond Index for the period.

Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included duration and yield curve positioning, credit exposure and sector
allocations. In addition, leverage was an important factor affecting the Funds'
performances over this period. The impact of leverage is discussed in more
detail on page 5.

As previously noted, municipal bonds generally performed well over this period.
Bonds in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities longer than
15 years, especially those with the longest maturities (22 years or more),
benefited the most from this environment. These bonds generally outperformed
credits with shorter maturities, with bonds maturing in one to two years posting
the weakest returns for the period. Among the uninsured Funds, NAC was the best
positioned for this environment in terms of duration and yield curve
positioning, while NCU had more exposure to the underper-forming shorter end of
the yield curve, which hurt its performance. Similarly, among the insured Funds,
NCL was more advantageously positioned, especially relative to NPC, which was
negatively impacted by its lower weightings in the longer parts of the curve
that performed well.

The increase in demand for municipal bonds, among both institutional and
individual investors, especially for lower-rated credits, was driven by a
variety of factors. These included concerns about possible tax increases, the
need to rebalance portfolio allocations, and a growing appetite to assume
additional risk. At the same time, the supply of new municipal paper declined
and bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally outperformed those
rated AAA. All of the uninsured Funds were helped by their weightings in the
lower-rated credit categories, although the positive contribution from these
bonds was smaller in NCU, which had less exposure to these categories. NKL and
NKX also benefited from their holdings of uninsured BBB and non-rated bonds. In
addition, individual security selection in the high-grade, longer maturity
categories boosted the performance of NAC, as its selection of longer AAA, AA,
and A rated bonds outperformed similar categories in the other California Funds.

Holdings that generally contributed to the Funds' performances included
industrial development revenue (IDR), health care and zero coupon bonds, all of
which outperformed the general municipal market during this period. Bonds backed
by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement also posted strong returns. As
of August 31, 2009, holdings of lower-rated tobacco bonds ranged from
approximately 3% to 5% of total net assets, providing a meaningful contribution
to performance. (NPC and NCL do not hold any uninsured tobacco bonds.)

Pre-refunded(8) bonds, which often are backed by U.S. Treasury securities and
which, were one of the top performing segments of the municipal bond market over
the past two years, performed especially poorly during this period. This was due
primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality.
Additional market segments that lagged the overall municipal market included
resource recovery, water and sewer and GO credits. Although long-dated
California GOs underperformed other bonds with the same effective duration, all
of these Funds were significantly underweighted in California GOs relative to
the California market in general, which helped their absolute and relative
performances. As of August 31, 2009, California GOs were rated Baa1/A/BBB by
Moody's, S&P and Fitch, respectively. These credit ratings, which were the
lowest of any state, reflected two downgrades by Moody's and three downgrades by
Fitch during this six-month period, most recently in July 2009. On the positive
side, S&P, which had lowered its rating on California GOs in February 2009,
reaffirmed its rating of A in August 2009 and removed the state from its
negative credit watch list.

IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE

One important factor impacting the returns of these Funds relative to the
comparative indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. The Funds use
leverage because their managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides
opportunities for additional income and total returns for common shareholders.
However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional
risk--especially when market conditions are unfavorable. For example, as the
prices of securities held by a Fund declines, the negative impact of these
valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total
return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance
common share returns during periods when bond prices generally are rising.
During this six-month period, leverage had a positive impact on the total return
performance of the Funds that employed this strategy.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES

Another factor that had an impact on the performance of these Funds was their
positions in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that experienced downgrades
in their credit ratings. During the period covered by this report, all bond
insurers experienced one or more rating reductions by at least one or more
rating agencies. At the time this report was prepared, there are no longer any
bond insurers rated AAA by more than one of the major rating agencies (Moody's
Investor Service, S&P and Fitch) and at least one rating agency has placed each
insurer on "negative credit watch," "credit outlook/watch developing" "credit
outlook/watch negative," "credit watch evolving," "rating withdrawn" or
"regulatory supervision" which may presage one or more rating reductions for any
insurer in the future. As concern increased about the balance sheets of
insurers, prices on insured bonds - especially those bonds issued by weaker
underlying credits - declined, detracting from the Funds' performances. By the
end of this period, most insured bonds were being valued according to their
fundamentals as if they were uninsured. On the whole, the holdings of all of
these Funds continued to be well diversified and it is important to note that
municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.

(8)   Pre-refundings, also known as advance refundings or refinancings, occur
      when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
      interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
      lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUND'S LEVERAGED CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As noted in the last several shareholder reports, the auction rate preferred
shares issued by many closed-end funds, including these Nuveen Funds, have been
hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more
auction rate preferred shares have been submitted for sale in their regularly
scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy
have been almost completely non-existent since late February, 2008. This means
that these auctions have "failed to clear," and that many, or all, of the
auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these
auctions were unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in auction rate preferred
shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction rate
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions, as calculated in accordance with
the pre-established terms of the auction rate preferred shares. In the recent
market, with short-term rates at multi-generational lows, those maximum rates
also have been low.

One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is
that each Fund's cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times
than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful.
As a result, each Fund's common share earnings likely have been incrementally
lower at times than they otherwise might have been.

As noted in past shareholder reports, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees
authorized a plan to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate
securities, to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding auction rate
preferred shares. The amount of TOBs that a Fund may use varies according to the
composition of each Fund's portfolio. Some Funds have a greater ability to use
TOBs than others. As of August 31, 2009, the amounts of auction rate preferred
securities redeemed, at par, by each of the Funds are as shown in the
accompanying table.

As noted in past shareholder reports, NKX's redemptions were achieved through
the issuance of variable rate demand preferred shares (VRDP) in conjunction with
the proceeds from the creation of TOBs. VRDP is a newly-developed instrument
that essentially replaced the auction rate preferred shares used as leverage in
NKX, and potentially, could be used to refinance the auction rate preferred
shares of other Funds. The holder of VRDP has a right to put the shares to an
external liquidity provider, whose fees are paid by the Fund and its common
shareholders. VRDP is offered only to qualified institutional buyers, defined
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. As of August 31, 2009,
NKX had issued $35.5 million of VRDP.

Subsequent to the end of this reporting period, the following Funds noticed for
redemption, at par, additional auction rate preferred securities as shown in the
accompanying table.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds, their Board of Directors/Trustees and Fund Management continue to
work to resolve this situation. Several Funds have attempted to issue VRDP, but
it has been difficult to find liquidity facilities on economically viable terms
given the constrained credit environment. The Funds also have tried to develop
other forms of preferred stock that have longer terms and do not require a Fund
to obtain and pay for the services of an external liquidity provider. However,
the Funds cannot provide any assurance on when the remaining outstanding auction
rate preferred shares might be redeemed.

As of August 31, 2009, 78 Nuveen closed-end municipal funds have redeemed, at
par, a portion of their outstanding auction rate preferred shares. These
redemptions bring the total amount of Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds'
auction rate preferred share redemptions to approximately $2.3 billion of the
original $11 billion outstanding.

Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information

During the six-month reporting period ended August 31, 2009, each of these eight
California Funds had one monthly dividend increase.

All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of August 31, 2009, all of
the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for tax purposes, based upon
our best estimate, and positive UNII balances for financial statement purposes.

(1)   Primarily all of the Fund's net assets are invested in municipal
      securities that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest.
      See Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more
      information.

(2)   The percentages shown in the foregoing chart may reflect the ratings on
      certain bonds whose insurer has experienced downgrades as of the end of
      the reporting period. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Comments for an
      expanded discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of
      certain bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of
      the underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.

(3)   Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
      fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
      after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
      rate of 34.9%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
      qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(4)   The Fund paid shareholders capital gains and net ordinary income
      distributions in December 2008 of $0.1447 per share.

(5)   MBIA's public finance subsidiary.

(1)   Primarily all of the Fund's net assets are invested in municipal
      securities that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest.
      See Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more
      information.

(2)   The percentages shown in the foregoing chart may reflect the ratings on
      certain bonds whose insurer has experienced downgrades as of the end of
      the reporting period. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Comments for an
      expanded discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of
      certain bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of
      the underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.

(3)   Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
      fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
      after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
      rate of 34.9%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
      qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(4)   The Fund paid shareholders capital gains and net ordinary income
      distributions in December 2008 of $0.1431 per share.

(5)   MBIA's public finance subsidiary.

(1)   At least 80% of the Fund's net assets are invested in municipal securities
      that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
      Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.

(2)   The percentages shown in the foregoing chart may reflect the ratings on
      certain bonds whose insurer has experienced downgrades as of the end of
      the reporting period. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Comments for an
      expanded discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of
      certain bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of
      the underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.

(3)   Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
      fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
      after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
      rate of 34.9%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
      qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(4)   The Fund paid shareholders capital gains and net ordinary income
      distributions in December 2008 of $0.0372 per share.

(5)   MBIA's public finance subsidiary.

(1)   Excluding short-term investments.

(2)   At least 80% of the Fund's net assets are invested in municipal securities
      that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
      Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.

(3)   The percentages shown in the foregoing chart may reflect the ratings on
      certain bonds whose insurer has experienced downgrades as of the end of
      the reporting period. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Comments for an
      expanded discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of
      certain bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of
      the underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.

(4)   Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
      fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
      after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
      rate of 34.9%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
      qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

      of $0.0516 per share.

      securities that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest.
      See Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more

      At least 80% of the Fund's net assets are invested in municipal securities
      that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
      Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.

(1)   All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
      assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.

(4)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
      Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal

      Total Investments is 32.9%.

N/R   Not rated.

(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

      At least 80% of the Fund's net assets are invested in municipal securities
      that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
      Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.

(1)   All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
      assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.

(2)   Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the
      earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
      at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
      be subject to periodic principal paydowns.

(3)   Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
      or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
      Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
      grade.

      The Portfolio of Investments may reflect the ratings on certain bonds
      whose insurer has experienced downgrades as of the end of the reporting
      period. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Comments for an expanded
      discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of certain
      bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of the
      underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.

(4)   Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
      Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
      and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
      AAA rated securities.

(5)   Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has variable rate and
      demand features which qualify it as a short-term investment. The rate
      disclosed is that in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate
      changes periodically based on market conditions or a specified market
      index.

(6)   Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a
      percentage of Total Investments is 30.2%.

N/R   Not rated.

(IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

(UB)  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing
      transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140. See Notes to
      Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities for
      more information.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund,
Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc.
(NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund (NCU), Nuveen California
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3
(NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL) and
Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NKX) (collectively,
the "Funds"). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured
California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of California Premium
Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend
Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured
California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the NYSE Amex. The Funds are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end
management investment companies.

Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and
local government authorities within the state of California or certain U.S.
territories.

During the prior fiscal period, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds
approved a change in the Funds' fiscal and tax year ends from August 31 to
February 28/29.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuation

The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Prices
of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Futures contracts are
valued using the closing settlement price, or, in the absence of such a price,
at the mean of the bid and asked prices. When market price quotes are not
readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the
pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular
investment or derivative instrument, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the
Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market
data including 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. Temporary investments in securities
that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term
investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
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 August 31, 2009, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.

Investment Income

Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes 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 net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state
income taxes, and in the case of Insured

66 Nuveen Investments



California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to
individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders
of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid
by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.

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.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders

Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.

Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, 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 US
generally accepted accounting principles.

Auction Rate Preferred Shares

The following Funds have issued and outstanding Auction Rate Preferred shares,
$25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each
Fund's Auction Rate Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The
dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every seven days,
pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is
payable at the end of each rate period. As of August 31, 2009, the number of
Auction Rate Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund
is as follows:

==========================================================================


Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Auction Rate Preferred shares issued by the Funds
than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear,"
and that many Auction Rate Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their
shares in these auctions were unable to do so. Auction Rate Preferred
shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the "maximum
rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with the
pre-established terms of the Auction Rate Preferred shares.

These developments have generally not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of the Funds. However, one continuing implication of these
auction failures for Common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage
likely has been incrementally higher at times, than it otherwise might have been
had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future
Common share earnings may likely have been incrementally lower than they
otherwise might have been. As of August 31, 2009, the aggregate amount of
outstanding Auction Rate Preferred shares redeemed by each Fund is as follows:

Effective May 1, 2009, auction participation fees with respect to auctions that
have failed have been reduced from 25 bps (annualized) to 15 bps (annualized).
All auction participants have signed new agreements incorporating this change.

Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares

On August 7, 2008, Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) issued 355 Series
1 Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, $100,000 liquidation value per share,
in a privately negotiated offering. Proceeds of this offering along with the
proceeds from the Fund's creation of tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as
"floaters" or floating rate obligations, were used to redeem all of the Fund's
outstanding Auction Rate Preferred shares totaling $45,000,000. The Variable
Rate Demand Preferred shares were offered to institutional buyers as defined
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, have a maturity date of
August 1, 2038 and include a liquidity feature that allows the Variable Rate
Demand Preferred shareholders to have their shares purchased by the liquidity
provider in the event that sell orders are not matched with purchase orders in a
remarketing. Dividends on the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares (which are
treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at
a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the liquidation value of
the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares approximates fair value.

Subject to certain conditions, Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund
may also redeem certain of the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares if the Fund
fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not
cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to
the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid
dividends.

Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) had all of its $35,500,000 Variable
Rate Demand Preferred shares outstanding during the six months ended August 31,
2009, with an annualized interest rate of 0.47%.

For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of Variable Rate
Demand Preferred shares is recognized as a liability on the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the dividends paid on the Variable Rate Demand Preferred
shares are included as a component of "Interest expense and amortization of
offering costs" on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense,
the Fund also paid a per annum liquidity fee which is recognized as "Liquidity
fees" on the Statement of Operations.

Insurance

Except to the extent that each of Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and
Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) invests in temporary investments, all
of the net assets of each Fund will be invested in municipal securities that are
covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest
or backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. government or
U.S. government agency securities to ensure timely payment of principal and
interest. Insurers must have a claims paying ability rated "Aaa" by Moody's or
"AAA" by Standard & Poor's. Municipal securities backed by an escrow account or
trust account will not constitute more than 20% of the Fund's net assets.

Under normal circumstances, Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and
Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invests at least 80% of their net
assets (as defined in Footnote 7 - Management Fees and Other Transactions with
Affiliates) in municipal securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing
the timely payment of principal and interest. For purposes of this 80% test,
insurers must have a claims paying ability rated at least "A" at the time of
purchase by at least one independent rating agency. In addition, each of Insured
California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage
(NKX) invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that are
rated at least "AA" at the time of

68 Nuveen Investments



purchase (based on the higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the
underlying security) by at least one independent rating agency, or are unrated
but judged to be of similar credit quality by Nuveen Asset Management (the
"Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), or
are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. government
or U.S. government agency securities or U.S. Treasury-issued State and Local
Government Series (SLGS) securities to ensure timely payment of principal and
interest. Inverse floating rate securities whose underlying bonds are covered by
insurance are included for purposes of the 80% test. Each of Insured California
Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) may
also invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities rated below "AA"
but at least "BBB" (based on the higher rating of the insurer, if any, or the
underlying bond) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the
Adviser.

Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds
ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the
market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net
asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds
the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security
covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities

Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.

A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the
Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to
tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate
bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment
in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as "(IF) - Inverse floating rate investment." An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (SFAS No.
140) "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities." In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited
into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as
"(UB) - Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust," with the Fund
accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as
"Floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In
addition, the Fund reflects in "Investment Income" the entire earnings of the
underlying bond and recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the
short-term floating rate certificates as a component of "Interest expense and
amortization of offering costs" on the Statement of Operations.

During the six months ended August 31, 2009, each Fund invested in
externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.

Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund
agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the
difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the
trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as
"Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.

At August 31, 2009, the Funds were not invested in externally-deposited Recourse
Trusts.

Futures Contracts

Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in
attempt to manage such risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is
required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or liquid securities equal
to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial
margin." Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open
futures contracts, if any, is recognized as "Deposits with brokers for open
futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent
payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending
on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is
recognized as a receivable or payable for "Variation margin on futures
contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a
daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract and is
recognized as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures
contracts" on the Statement of Operations. When the contract is closed or
expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when
originally entered into and is recognized as "Net realized gain (loss) from
futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations. The Funds did not invest in
futures contracts during the six months ended August 31, 2009.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.

Swap Contracts

Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate 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 interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives. Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap
transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate
sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the
Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader municipal market.
Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with a
counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange
for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the
accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the "effective
date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of
the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a
bond's maturity). The value of the Fund's swap commitment would increase or
decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for
bonds having a maturity of the swap's

70 Nuveen Investments



termination  date increases or decreases.  Forward  interest rate swap contracts
are  valued  daily.  The net  amount  recorded  on these  transactions  for each
counterparty  is  recognized  on the  Statement  of Assets  and  Liabilities  as
"Unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation  on forward  swaps"  with the change
during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as "Change in
net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward swaps."

The Funds may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which
point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated,
it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Net realized
gains and losses during the fiscal period are recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps." Each Fund intends,
but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date.
Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such
transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty
failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon
termination. Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend
Advantage 3 (NZH) invested in forward interest rate swaps transactions during
the six months ended August 31, 2009.

The average notional amount of forward swap contracts outstanding during the six
months ended August 31, 2009, were as follows:



                                                                    INSURED

Forward swap contracts average notional amount outstanding       $4,000,000     $4,333,333

Refer to Footnote 3 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further
details on forward swap contract 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. 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 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. 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. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.

Offering Costs

Costs incurred by Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) in connection with
its offering of Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares ($530,000) were recorded
as a deferred charge which will be amortized over the 30-year life of the shares
and are included as a component of "Interest expense and amortization of
offering costs" on the Statement of Operations.

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, their Officers and Directors/Trustees
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

                                                           Nuveen Investments 71



| Notes to
| Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

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 US generally accepted
accounting principles 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 applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In determining the 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 methodology 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 August 31, 2009:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS No. 161) "Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to
enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to better understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments; b) how derivative instruments are accounted for; and c)
how derivative instruments affect a fund's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows, if any. 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 considered to be non-hedge transactions for SFAS No.
161 disclosure 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 Portfolio of Investments, Financial Statements
and Footnote 1 - General Information and Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables presents the amount of net realized gain (loss) and change
in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) recognized for the six months
ended August 31, 2009, on derivative instruments, as well as the primary risk
exposure associated with each. Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and
California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) invested in derivative instruments during
the six months ended August 31, 2009. The Funds had no derivative contracts
outstanding at August 31, 2009.

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 taxable market discount, timing differences in
recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the
treatment of investments in inverse floating rate transactions subject to SFAS
No.140, if any. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in
nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on
their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net
asset values of the Funds.

At August 31, 2009, the cost of investments was as follows:

7.MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Fund's  management fee is separated  into two components - a  complex-level
component,  based on the  aggregate  amount of all fund  assets  managed  by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within  each  individual  Fund.  This  pricing  structure  enables  Nuveen  fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

(1)   The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
      calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed net assets of all Nuveen
      funds, with such daily managed net assets defined separately for each fund
      in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to
      investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level
      fee components, daily managed net assets include 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 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 the TOB trust that has
      been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate
      securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit the amount of
      such assets for determining managed net assets in certain circumstances.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees 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/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent
Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees 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 first ten years of California Dividend Advantage's (NAC) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets, for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth
below:

8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 166 (SFAS No. 166)

During June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 166,
"Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of SFAS No. 140."
The objective of SFAS No. 166 is to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the
effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows; and a transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred
financial assets.

SFAS No. 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and
measurement provisions of SFAS No. 166 must be applied to transfers occurring on
or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.
166 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the
effective date of SFAS No. 166. At this time, management is evaluating the
implications of SFAS No. 166 and the impact it will have on the financial
statement amounts and disclosures, if any.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 165 (SFAS No. 165)

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 165
"Subsequent Events." SFAS No. 165 requires an entity to recognize in the
financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide
additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance
sheet. SFAS No. 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting and
for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date - that is, whether that date
represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The Funds have performed an evaluation of subsequent events
through October 27, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were
issued.

*     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.

      Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
      changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend 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.

**    After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

***   Annualized.

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

+     The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

++    Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
      Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned
      and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred
      shares or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, where applicable.

(a)   Interest expense arises from payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred
      shareholders and the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain inverse
      floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund, where applicable, as
      both are more fully described in Footnote 1 - Variable Rate Demand
      Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.

*     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.

      Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
      changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend 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.

**    After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

***   Annualized.

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

+     The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

++    Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
      Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned
      and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred
      shares or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, where applicable.

(a)   Interest expense arises from payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred
      shareholders and the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain inverse
      floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund, where applicable, as
      both are more fully described in Footnote 1 - Variable Rate Demand
      Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.

*     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.

      Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
      changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend 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.
**    After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
***   Annualized.
+     The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++    Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
      Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned
      and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred
      shares or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, where applicable.
(a)   Interest expense arises from payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred
      shareholders and the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain inverse
      floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund, where applicable, as
      both are more fully described in Footnote 1 - Variable Rate Demand
      Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.

*     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.

      Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
      changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend 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.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in
substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its
investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its
continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including
by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory
agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "Independent Board
Members"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering
such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members must
request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such
information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory
agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 27-29, 2009 (the "May
Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each a
"Board" and each Trustee or Director, a "Board Member") of the Funds, including
a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the
continuation of the advisory agreements (each an "Advisory Agreement") between
each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held
a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2009 (the "April Meeting"). Accordingly, the
factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the
Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.

In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board
Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds and NAM,
including absolute performance, fee and expense information for the Funds as
well as comparative performance, fee and expense information for a comparable
peer group of funds, the performance information of recognized and/or customized
benchmarks (as applicable) of the Funds, the profitability of Nuveen for its
advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries other than
Winslow Capital Management, Inc. ("Winslow Capital"), which was recently
acquired in December 2008), and other information regarding the organization,
personnel, and services provided by NAM. The Independent Board Members also met
quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took
into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained
therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the
Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their
independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from
independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in
reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private
sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered
the legal advice provided

92   Nuveen Investments



by independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of NAM, its
services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions
throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors
to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may
have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her
conclusions with respect to a Fund's Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board
Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The
Independent Board Members' considerations were instead based on a comprehensive
consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered
by the Board and its conclusions are described below.

A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members
considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, including advisory
services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed
materials outlining, among other things, NAM's organization and business; the
types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide
to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in
further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable
fund product line.

In reviewing the services provided and the initiatives undertaken during the
past year, the Independent Board Members recognized the severe market turmoil
experienced in the capital markets during recent periods, including sustained
periods of high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. The
Independent Board Members considered NAM's efforts, expertise and other actions
taken to address matters as they arose that impacted the Funds. The Independent
Board Members recognized the role of the Investment Services group which, among
other things, monitors the various positions throughout the Nuveen fund complex
to identify and address any systematic risks. In addition, the Capital Markets
Committee of NAM provides a multi-departmental venue for developing new policies
to mitigate any risks. The Independent Board Members further recognized NAM's
continuous review of the Nuveen funds' investment strategies and mandates in
seeking to continue to refine and improve the investment process for the funds,
particularly in light of market conditions. With respect to closed-end funds
that issued auction rate preferred shares ("ARPs") or that otherwise utilize
leverage, the Independent Board Members noted, in particular, NAM's efforts in
refi-nancing the preferred shares of such funds frozen by the collapse of the
auction rate market and managing leverage during a period of rapid market
declines, particularly for the non-equity funds. Such efforts included
negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other
sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs,
liquidating portfolio securities during difficult times to meet leverage ratios,
and seeking alternative forms of debt and other leverage that may over time
reduce financing costs associated with ARPs and enable the funds that have
issued ARPs to restore liquidity to ARPs holders. The Independent Board Members
also noted Nuveen's continued commitment and efforts to keep investors and
financial advisers

                                                           Nuveen Investments 93



Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)

informed as to its progress with the ARPs through, among other things,
conference calls, emails, press releases, information posted on its website, and
telephone calls and in-person meetings with financial advisers. In addition to
the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services
that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in
particular, Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for
the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed
to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds.
These efforts include maintaining an investor relations program to provide
timely information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing
advertising and marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining websites; and
providing educational seminars.

As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the
background, experience and track record of NAM's investment personnel. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel,
and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The
Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager
compensation arrangements to evaluate NAM's ability to attract and retain high
quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not
provide an incentive for taking undue risks.

In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including
product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers,
shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and
portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of compliance, the
Independent Board Members considered NAM's compliance program, including the
report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies
and procedures.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the
nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to
the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.

B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including the
Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with
similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data
provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data as well as recognized
and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable). The Independent Board Members
reviewed performance information including, among other things, total return
information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer Group and recognized
and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable) for the quarter-, one-, three- and
five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31, 2008 and for the same
periods (as applicable) ending March 31, 2009. The Independent Board Members
also reviewed performance information of the Nuveen municipal funds managed by
NAM in the aggregate ranked by peer group and

94 Nuveen Investments



the performance of such funds, in the aggregate, relative to their benchmark.
This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the
Board at each of its quarterly meetings.

In comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the
Independent Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer
Group in certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund's
investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison
of the fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group. The
Independent Board Members further considered the performance of the Funds in the
context of the volatile market conditions during the past year, and their impact
on various asset classes and the portfolio management of the Funds.

Based on their review and factoring in the severity of market turmoil in 2008,
the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance
over time had been satisfactory.

C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY

      1. FEES AND EXPENSES

      The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund
      reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees, net
      management fees and total expense ratios (before and after expense
      reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as compared to
      the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based
      on data provided by an independent fund data provider the "Peer Universe")
      and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer
      Universe (the "Peer Group").

      The Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding the
      construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group. In reviewing
      the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board
      Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such
      as the asset level of a fund relative to peers, the size and particular
      composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group, the investment objectives
      of the peers, expense anomalies, changes in the funds comprising the Peer
      Universe or Peer Group from year to year, levels of reimbursement and the
      timing of information used may impact the comparative data, thereby
      limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison. In addition, the
      Independent Board Members also considered, among other things, the
      differences in the use and type of leverage compared to the peers. The
      Independent Board Members also considered the differences in the states
      reflected in the respective Peer Group. In reviewing the fee schedule for
      a Fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level and
      complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and
      any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in
      particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999).

                                                         Nuveen Investments   95



Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)

      Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the
      Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees and
      net total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and
      quality of services provided to the Fund.

      2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS

      The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the
      nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients. Such
      other clients include NAM's municipal separately managed accounts. In
      evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted
      that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among
      other things, because of the different services involved and the
      additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with
      registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the
      Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types,
      including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and
      operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment
      policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements.
      The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of
      services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive
      than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent
      differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided
      to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the
      different levels of fees.

      3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN

      In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also
      considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which
      incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers other than
      Winslow Capital) and its financial condition. The Independent Board
      Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities
      for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the
      profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes
      in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2008. In addition,
      the Independent Board Members reviewed information regarding the financial
      results of Nuveen for 2008 based on its Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2009.
      The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the
      profitability information requested and received during the year to help
      keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as
      changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this
      regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed
      an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them
      apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies
      during the year. The Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen's
      revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to
      that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of

96 Nuveen Investments



      assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition
      prepared by Nuveen.

      In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the
      subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by
      numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the
      Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making
      comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not
      publicly available and the profitability information that is available for
      certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the
      industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser's
      particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense
      allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members
      reviewed Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses
      across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing
      profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's
      investment in its fund business.

      Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that
      Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable
      in light of the services provided.

      In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent
      Board Members also considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as
      well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any)
      NAM and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are
      directly attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section
      E below for additional information on indirect benefits NAM may receive as
      a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the
      overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members
      determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were
      reasonable.

D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE

With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have
recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being
spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to
measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One
method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include
breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds
in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a
complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the
Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level
breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset
levels increase. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that
although closed-end funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings,
the growth of their assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of such
funds' investment portfolio.

                                                           Nuveen Investments 97



Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)

While economies of scale result when costs can be spread over a larger asset
base, the Independent Board Members also recognized that the asset levels
generally declined in 2008 due to, among other things, the market downturn.
Accordingly, for funds with a reduction in assets under management, advisory fee
levels may have increased as breakpoints in the fee schedule were no longer
surpassed.

In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered
the Funds' complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee
arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex generally are reduced
as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee
arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund
shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a
particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the
notion that some of Nuveen's costs are attributable to services provided to all
its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are
spread over a larger asset base. Generally, the complex-wide pricing reduces
Nuveen's revenue because total complex fund assets have consistently grown in
prior years. As noted, however, total fund assets declined in 2008 resulting in
a smaller downward adjustment of revenues due to complex-wide pricing compared
to the prior year.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the
breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and
reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under
management increase.

E. INDIRECT BENEFITS

In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered
information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits NAM or its
affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates
of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk.

In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM
received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that
may be useful to NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The
Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar
arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that
occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless
principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends
to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.

Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect
benefits received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Funds were
reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed
previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Advisory
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

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 DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains 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 tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or 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 month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and 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. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price

100 Nuveen Investments



per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or 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. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

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 investment 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.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report

o     AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
      payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
      process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
      Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
      sale are deemed to have "failed," with current holders receiving a
      formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.

o     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.

o     AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
      of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
      to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
      security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments
      or the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
      established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
      for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
      portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
      not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.

o     INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse
      floaters, are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a
      fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
      broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates
      typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in
      amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or
      market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate
      (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") to an investor (such as a
      Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal
      bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies
      inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates'
      holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears
      substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk. The
      holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately
      from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond's value. Hence, an
      inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying
      bond on a leveraged basis.

102    Nuveen Investments



o     LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
      over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
      is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to
      changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's
      or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as
      interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the
      leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of
      the Fund's portfolio of bonds.

o     MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
      investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
      price.

o     NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common share is calculated by
      subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
      issued in order to leverage 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.

o     TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
      investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
      investment.

o     ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest
      coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to
      the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the
      original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the
      bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of
      zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of
      bonds that pay interest periodically.
