[LOGO] NUVEEN Investments Chairman's LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS [PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER] | Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board Dear Shareholders, I write this letter in a time of continued uncertainty about the current state of the U.S. financial system and pessimism about the future of the global economy. Many have observed that the conditions that led to the crisis have built up over time and will complicate and extend the course of recovery. At the same time, government officials in the U.S. and abroad have implemented a wide range of programs to restore stability to the financial system and encourage economic recovery. History teaches us that these efforts will moderate the extent of the downturn and hasten the inevitable recovery, even though it is hard to envision that outcome in the current environment. As you will read in this report, the continuing financial and economic problems are weighing heavily on asset values for equities and fixed income, and unfortunately the performance of the Nuveen Funds has been similarly affected. I hope that you will carefully review the Portfolio Managers' Comments, the Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information and the Performance Overview sections of this report. These comments highlight the individual manager's pursuit of investment strategies that depend on thoroughly researched securities, diversified portfolio holdings and well established investment disciplines to achieve your Fund's investment goals. The Fund Board believes that a consistent focus on long term investment goals provides the basis for successful investment over time and we monitor your Fund with that objective in mind. Nuveen continues to work on resolving the auction rate preferred shares situation, but the unsettled conditions in the credit markets have slowed progress. Nuveen is actively pursuing a number of solutions, all with the goal of providing liquidity for preferred shareholders while preserving the potential benefits of leverage for common shareholders. We appreciate the patience you have shown as we have worked through the many issues involved. Please consult the Nuveen website: www.Nuveen.com, for the most recent information. On behalf of myself and 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 --------------------------------- Robert P. Bremner Chairman of the Nuveen Fund Board January 20, 2009 Portfolio Managers' COMMENTS Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NTC, NFC, NGK, NGO, NMT, NMB, NGX, NOM Portfolio managers Cathryn Steeves and Scott Romans discuss key investment strategies and the six-month performance of these eight Nuveen Funds. Cathryn, who joined Nuveen in 1996, has managed the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds since 2006. Scott, who has been with Nuveen since 2000, assumed portfolio management responsibility for NOM in 2003. WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2008? During this period, stress in the financial and credit markets led to increased price volatility for many securities, reduced liquidity and a general flight to quality. In this environment, we took a defensive approach to managing these Funds, focusing on preserving and enhancing liquidity, managing duration(1) risk and continuing to invest for the long term. As events unfolded, we carefully watched the municipal bond market for attractive purchase opportunities, using a fundamental approach to discover undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. One area of the market that we found attractive during this period was higher education and we purchased several issues in this sector for the Connecticut Funds. All of the Connecticut Funds also added general obligation bonds issued by the state. For all eight Funds, a top priority was preserving or enhancing liquidity when we found appropriate opportunities to do so. To provide liquidity for purchases, we monitored the types of credits and bond structures that were attractive to the retail market and took advantage of strong bids to sell such bonds into solid retail demand. This was especially true in Missouri, where a substantial decline in issuance during this period meant fewer bonds available in the primary market. Given the market environment, retail demand was strongest for higher credit quality bonds, especially tax-backed securities (e.g., state and local general obligation bonds) with intermediate maturities. Some of the Funds also selectively sold holdings with shorter durations. As a key dimension of risk management, we employed a disciplined approach to duration positioning as an important component of our overall strategy. As part of this approach, we used inverse floating rate securities(2) in the Connecticut Funds and NOM throughout the six-month period. We also added inverse floaters to all three of the Massachusetts Funds during this period. Inverse floaters typically provide the dual benefit of bringing the Funds' durations closer to our strategic target and enhancing their income-generation capabilities. NMT and NMB also invested in certain types of derivative(3) instruments in an effort to lengthen duration and help us manage common Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio managers as of the date of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or views expressed herein. (1) 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. (2) 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 this reporting period, are further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in this Report sections of this shareholder report. (3) Each Fund may invest in derivatives instruments such as forwards, futures, option and swap transactions.

As of November 30, 2008, we continued to use inverse floaters in all eight of these Funds, while the derivatives had been removed from NMT and NMB HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? Individual results for these Nuveen Funds, as well as relevant index and peer group information, are presented in the accompanying table.

(4) The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as follows: 6 months, 46; 1 year, 46; 5 years, 27; and 10 years, 18. The performance of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. (5) 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 Lehman indexes do not reflect any expenses. (6) The Standard & Poor's 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. (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: 6 months, 44; 1 year, 44 funds; 5 years, 44 funds; and 10 years, 24 funds. The performance of the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from eight different states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 5 For the six months ended November 30, 2008, the cumulative returns on common share NAV for NTC, NFC, NGK, NGO, NMB and NOM exceeded the average return for the Lipper Other State Municipal Debt Funds Average, while NMT trailed this average by a slight margin. At the same time, NGX outperformed the average return for the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average. The seven uninsured Funds underperformed the national Barclays Capital and S&P National Municipal Bond Indexes. NGX lagged the national Barclays Capital Insured Municipal Bond Index and the S&P National Municipal Bond Index. Shareholders should note the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Barclay Capital Municipal Bond Index include bonds from states not covered in this report, which may make direct comparisons between the funds and these benchmarks less meaningful. Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period included duration and yield curve positioning, the use of derivatives, credit exposure and sector allocations. In addition, the use of leverage was an important factor affecting each Fund's performance over this period. The impact of leverage is discussed in more detail on page 7. Over this period, we saw the yield curve steepen, as interest rates at the short end of the curve declined and longer rates rose. Given these changes in the interest rate environment, bonds in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities of ten years or less generally outperformed the market as a whole, with bonds maturing in two to four years benefiting the most. Because they were less sensitive to interest rate changes, these shorter bonds generally outperformed credits with longer maturities, with the biggest losses posted by bonds with the longest maturities (twenty-two years and longer). In general, the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds had less exposure to the outperforming short end of the yield curve than the market as a whole, and more exposure to the underperforming longer part of the curve. Although this positioning was a net negative for the performance of these seven Funds, the Funds received positive contributions from their heavier allocation to bonds with intermediate maturities, which performed well. In NOM, duration positioning was a relative positive during this period, due to an underweighting of bonds with the longest maturities (twelve years and longer) and an overweighting in some of the shorter maturity categories, especially in bonds maturing in two to four years, which were the best performers. As mentioned earlier, all of these Funds used inverse floaters to help bring their durations closer to our strategic target and enhance income-generation capabilities. In general, these inverse floaters had a negative impact on performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse floaters effectively increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds at a time when shorter maturities were in favor in the market. The derivative instruments used in NMT and NMB were not in place long enough during this period to have a significant impact on performance. 6 Credit exposure was also an important factor in performance during these six months. Because risk-averse investors generally sought higher quality investments as disruptions in the financial markets deepened, bonds with higher credit quality typically performed very well. At the same time, as many investors avoided high-yield securities, bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally posted poor returns. Insured bonds with underlying credits that were rated BBB or non-rated, originally purchased because of the higher yields they offered, were disproportionately impacted (compared with bonds with underlying credits rated AA or A) if the insurer backing the bond was downgraded. While exposure to lower-rated credits had a negative impact on the Funds for this period, the six-month performances of NFC, NGK and especially NGX benefited on a relative basis from their overall higher credit quality. During this period, pre-refunded bonds(8), which are backed by U.S. Treasury securities, were one of the top performing segments of the market, due primarily to their shorter effective maturities, higher credit quality and perceived safety. Among these Funds, NGX, NFC and NGK had the largest allocations of pre-refunded bonds as of November 30, 2008. Additional sectors of the market that generally contributed to the Funds' performances included general obligation and other tax-backed bonds and water and sewer, electric utilities and education credits. The Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds, in particular, benefited relatively from their heavier allocations to the education sector. This was offset to some degree by their lower allocations to tax-backed credits as compared to the market as a whole, which lessened the positive contribution from this sector. In general, bonds that were lower rated, regardless of sector, posted weak performance. Revenue bonds as a whole, and the industrial development, health care and housing sectors in particular, underperformed the general municipal market. Next to the industrial development revenue sector, zero coupon bonds were among the worst performing categories in the municipal market. While the Funds had relatively small exposures to the industrial development revenue sector, their performances were hurt by their overexposure to the housing sector. NMT, NMB and NOM also were negatively impacted by their heavier allocations to the health care sector during this period. IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE In addition to the factors previously discussed, one of the primary factors impacting the six-month returns of these Funds relative to the market indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. While leverage offers opportunities to generate additional income and total returns for common shareholders, the benefits provided by leveraging are (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. 7 influenced by the price movements of the bonds in each Fund's portfolio. During this period, as yields on longer-term bonds rose and their prices correspondingly fell, declining valuations had a negative effect on performance that was magnified by the use of leverage. In addition, at various points during the six-month period, the Funds' borrowing costs were relatively high, negatively impacting their total returns. RECENT MARKET DEVELOPMENTS Beginning in October, the nation's financial institutions and financial markets--including the municipal bond market--experienced significant turmoil. Reductions in demand decreased valuations of municipal bonds across all credit ratings, especially those with lower credit ratings, and this generally reduced the Funds' common share net asset values. The municipal market is one in which dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and during the recent market turmoil these firms' capital was severely constrained. As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal bonds. This reduction in dealer involvement in the market was accompanied by significant net selling pressure by investors, particularly with respect to lower-rated municipal bonds, as institutional investors generally removed money from the municipal bond market, at least in part because of their need to reduce the leveraging of their municipal investments. This deleveraging was in part driven by the overall reduction in the amount of financing available for such leverage, the increased costs of such leverage financing, and the need to reduce leverage levels that had recently increased due to the decline in municipal bond prices. Municipal bond prices were further negatively impacted by concerns that the need for further deleveraging and a supply overhang (a large amount of new issues that were postponed) would cause selling pressure to persist for a period of time. In addition to falling prices, the following market conditions resulted in greater price volatility of municipal bonds - wider credit spreads (i.e., lower quality bonds fell in price more than higher quality bonds); significantly reduced liquidity (i.e., the ability to sell bonds at a price close to their carrying value), particularly for lower quality bonds; and a lack of price transparency (i.e., the ability to accurately determine the price at which a bond would likely trade). Reduced liquidity was most pronounced in mid-October, although it improved considerably after that period. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES Another factor that had an impact on the performance of these Funds was their position in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that experienced downgrades in their credit ratings. During the period covered by this report, ACA, AMBAC, 8 FGIC, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA (formerly XLCA) experienced one or more rating reductions by at least one or more rating agencies while AGC and FSA received their first rating reductions by at least one rating agency. At the time this report was prepared, at least one rating agency has placed each of these insurers except AGC on "negative outlook" or "negative credit watch," which may presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. As concern increased about the balance sheets of these insurers, prices on bonds insured by these companies - especially those bonds with weaker underlying credits - declined, detracting from the Funds' performance. 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 our Funds continued to be well diversified not only between insured and uninsured bonds, but also within the insured bond category. It is important to note that municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES MARKETS Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the auction rate preferred shares issued by these Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear" and that many or all auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction rate preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction rate preferred shareholder 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. At the time this report was prepared, the Funds' managers could not predict when future auctions might succeed in attracting sufficient buyers for the shares offered, if ever. The Funds' managers are working diligently to refund the auction rate preferred shares, and have made progress in these efforts (at least for certain funds), but at present there is no assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments have generally not affected the portfolio management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been. On June 11, 2008, Nuveen announced the Fund Board's approval of plans to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, to refinance a portion of the municipal Funds' outstanding auction rate preferred shares, for which 9 auctions have been failing for several months. This plan included an initial phase of approximately $1 billion in forty-one Funds. As of November 30, 2008, none of the Funds included in this shareholder report had issued par redemption notices for their auction rate preferred shares. On August 7, 2008, four Nuveen municipal Funds (none of which are included in this shareholder report) issued par redemption notices for all outstanding shares of their auction rate preferred shares totaling $569.9 million. These redemptions were achieved through the issuance of variable rate demand preferred shares (VRDP) in conjunction with the proceeds from the creation of TOBs. For current, up-to-date information, please visit the Nuveen CEF Auction Rate Preferred Resource Center at: http://www.nuveen.com/ResourceCenter/AuctionRatePreferred.aspx. 10 Common Share Dividend and Share Price INFORMATION During the six-month period ended November 30, 2008, there was one dividend increase in each of the following Funds: NTC, NGO, NMT, NMB and NGX. The dividends of NFC, NGK and NOM remained stable throughout the reporting period. 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 Funds NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2008, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and all of the Fund's in this report except NOM had a negative UNII balances for financial statement purposes. The Funds' Board of Trustees approved an open-market share repurchase program on July 30, 2008, under which each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its common shares. As of November 30, 2008 the Funds' have not repurchased any of their outstanding common shares. As of November 30, 2008, the Funds' common share prices were trading at premiums or discounts to their common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart: 11/30/08 Six-Month Average Discount

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The state funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income Municipal Fund (NTC), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFC), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NGK), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NGO), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMT), Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NMB), Nuveen Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NGX) and Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Connecticut Dividend Advantage (NFC), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO), Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB), Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. 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 designated state income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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 Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of 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. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for an investment or derivative instrument, each Fund may use market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such investments. If it is determined that the market price for an investment or derivative instrument is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair value in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. 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 November 30, 2008, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds. 63 | Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) 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 designated state income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) 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. Effective November 30, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax expense in the current year. Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. 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). The Funds have no examinations in progress. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets or results of operations as of and during the six months ended November 30, 2008. The Funds are 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 64 Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one 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 November 30, 2008, the number of Preferred shares outstanding for each Fund is as follows: CONNECTICUT CONNECTICUT CONNECTICUT CONNECTICUT PREMIUM DIVIDEND DIVIDEND DIVIDEND INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 ADVANTAGE 3 (NTC) (NFC) (NGK) (NGO) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series T -- 780 -- -- Series W -- -- 700 -- Series TH 1,532 -- -- -- Series F -- -- -- 1,280 ================================================================================ INSURED MASSACHUSETTS MASSACHUSETTS MASSACHUSETTS MISSOURI PREMIUM DIVIDEND TAX-FREE PREMIUM INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE INCOME (NMT) (NMB) (NGX) (NOM) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series T -- 600 -- -- Series W -- -- 820 -- Series TH 1,360 -- -- 640 Series F -- -- -- -- ================================================================================ Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. 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 Preferred shares. These developments have generally not affected the portfolio management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future Common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been. On June 11, 2008, Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") announced the Fund Board's approval of plans to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as "floaters" or floating rate obligations, to refinance a portion of the municipal funds' outstanding Preferred shares, whose auctions have been failing for several months. The plan included an initial phase of approximately $1 billion in forty-one funds. As of November 30, 2008, the Funds had not redeem any of their outstanding Preferred shares. Insurance Under normal circumstances, Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) 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, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are rated at least "AA" at the time of 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, or municipal bonds 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 securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities rated below "AA" (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. 65 | Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) 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 Fund's 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 Fund ultimately disposes 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 Fund. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset value of the Fund include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Fund 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 an "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 an "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 the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates is included as "Interest expense on floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended November 30, 2008, 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 66 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 included as "Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. At November 30, 2008, the Funds were not invested in any externally-deposited Recourse Trusts.

The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months ended November 30, 2008, were as follows:

Forward Swap Transactions Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions. 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 forward 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 termination date increases or decreases. 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. 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. To reduce such credit risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, 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 swap valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) and Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB) were the only Funds invested in forward interest rate swap transactions during the six months ended November 30, 2008. 67 | Notes to | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) Futures Contracts Each Fund is authorized to invest in futures contracts. 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." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. 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. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin, when applicable. Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) and Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB) were the only Funds invested in futures contracts during the six months ended November 30, 2008. 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. 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. 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 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 indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. 68 2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157) "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about 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 November 30, 2008:

The following is a reconciliation of each Fund's Level 3 investments held at the beginning and end of the measurement period:

FUND SHARES Common Shares On July 30, 2008, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved an open-market share repurchase program under which each Fund may repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of its outstanding Common shares. The Funds did not repurchase any of their Common shares during the six months ended November 30, 2008. Transactions in Common shares were as follows:

4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Purchases and sales (including maturities but excluding short-term investments and derivative transactions) during the six months ended November 30, 2008, were as follows:

70 5. 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. 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 November 30, 2008, the cost of investments was as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at November 30, 2008, were as follows:

71 | Notes to | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) The tax components of undistributed net tax-exempt income, net ordinary income and net long-term capital gains at May 31, 2008, the Funds' last tax year end, were as follows:

* Undistributed net tax-exempt income (on a tax basis) has not been reduced for the dividend declared on May 1, 2008, paid on June 2, 2008. ** Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. The tax character of distributions paid during the Funds' last tax year ended May 31, 2008, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows:

** Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. 72 At May 31, 2008, the Funds' last tax year end, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains, if any. If not applied, the carryforwards will expire as follows:

The following Funds have elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008, the Funds' last tax year end, ("post-October losses") in accordance with federal income tax regulations. Post-October losses are treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year:

6. 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 (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the following table. As of November 30, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .2000%. 73 | Notes to | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:

(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all Nuveen funds, with such daily net assets to include assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by such funds but to exclude assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds. 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 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 Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables 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 Connecticut Dividend Advantage's (NFC) and Massachusetts Dividend Advantage's (NMB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, JANUARY 31, ----------------------------------------------------- 2001* .30% 2007 .25% 2002 .30 2008 .20 2003 .30 2009 .15 2004 .30 2010 .10 2005 .30 2011 .05 2006 .30 ===================================================== * From the commencement of operations. The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse Connecticut Dividend Advantage (NFC) and Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB) for any portion of their fees and expenses beyond January 31, 2011. 74 For the first ten years of Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2's (NGK) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, MARCH 31, ----------------------------------------------------- 2002* .30% 2008 .25% 2003 .30 2009 .20 2004 .30 2010 .15 2005 .30 2011 .10 2006 .30 2012 .05 2007 .30 ===================================================== * From the commencement of operations.

The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) for any portion of its fees and expenses beyond November 30, 2010. 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161 (SFAS No. 161) In March 2008, the FASB issued 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 understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of November 30, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items. 75 | Notes to | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited) 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Distributions to Common Shareholders The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net investment income which were paid on December 31, 2008, to shareholders of record on December 15, 2008, as follows:

At the same time, the following Funds declared capital gains and/or ordinary income distributions as follows:

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 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. 86 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.

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 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. 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. 90 Other Useful INFORMATION QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS AND PROXY VOTING INFORMATION You may obtain (i) each Fund's quarterly portfolio of investments, (ii) information regarding how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2008, and (iii) a description of the policies and procedures that the Funds used to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities without charge, upon request, by calling Nuveen Investments toll-free at (800) 257-8787 or on Nuveen's website at www.nuveen.com.
