WELL-BALANCED PORTFOLIO ..... IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN ACHIEVING YOUR
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS."

Dear
  SHAREHOLDER

Once again, I am pleased to report that over the most recent reporting period
your California Fund continued to provide you with attractive tax-free monthly
income and the opportunity for increased portfolio diversification. For more
specific information about the performance of your Fund, please see the
Portfolio Managers' Comments and Performance Overview sections of this report.

With interest rates at historically low levels, many investors have begun to
wonder whether interest rates will rise, and whether that possibility should
cause them to adjust their fixed-income holdings. While no one knows what the
future will bring, we think a well-balanced portfolio that is structured and
carefully monitored with the help of an investment professional is an important
component in achieving your long-term financial goals. A well-diversified
portfolio may actually help to reduce your overall investment risk. We believe
municipal bond investments like your Nuveen Fund can be important building
blocks in a portfolio crafted to perform well through a variety of market
conditions.

I'd also like to direct your attention to the inside front cover of this report,
which explains the quick and easy process to begin receiving Fund reports like
this via e-mail and the internet. Thousands of Nuveen Fund shareholders already
have signed-up, and they are getting their Fund information faster and more
conveniently than ever. I urge you to consider joining them.

Since 1898, Nuveen Investments has offered financial products and solutions that
incorporate careful research, diversification, and the application of
conservative risk-management principles. We are grateful that you have chosen us
as a partner as you pursue your financial goals. We look forward to continuing
to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.

(NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL, NKX)

Portfolio Managers'
               COMMENTS

Portfolio managers Tom O'Shaughnessy, Bill Fitzgerald, and Scott Romans discuss
economic and market conditions, key investment strategies, and the annual
performance of the Funds. Tom, a 20-year veteran of Nuveen, assumed portfolio
management responsibility for NPC and NCL in January 2003. With 15 years of
investment experience at Nuveen, Bill has managed NCU since 1998, NAC since
1999, NVX and NZH since 2001, and NKL and NKX since their inceptions in 2002.
Scott, who has three years of investment experience at Nuveen, joined Bill in
managing these six Funds in January 2003.


WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE TWELVE
MONTH PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2003?

As has been the case for some time, we believe the two greatest influences on
the general economy and the municipal market continued to be historically low
interest rates and the slow pace of economic growth. In June 2003, the Federal
Reserve cut the fed funds rate to 1.0%, its lowest level since 1958. Growth
during the first half of 2003, as measured by the GDP, registered 2.3%, lagging
the 3% pace considered by many to be indicative of recovery. At the same time,
inflation remained dormant, with the 12-month advance in the core rate dropping
to 1.3% in August.

The slow rate of economic recovery, low interest rates, and lack of inflationary
pressures created conditions that helped many municipal bonds perform well
during the majority of this reporting period. However, during July 2003,
stronger-than-expected economic data precipitated a spike in bond yields and a
corresponding drop in bond prices that impacted results across all fixed-income
markets.

During the first eight months of 2003, the states and municipalities followed up
the record issuance of 2002 with continued strong supply, issuing $254 billion
in new bonds, up 12.5% over the same period in 2002.


HOW WERE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA?

Over the 12-months ended August 31, 2003, California continued to struggle with
significant budget problems and political uncertainty. On July 29, 2003, nearly
a month into its 2004 fiscal year, the state budget was finally approved,
closing a $38 billion deficit. Due to the heavy reliance on borrowing and
one-time measures to balance the fiscal 2004 budget, California is expected to
face an additional $8 billion deficit in fiscal 2005. The governor recall
election added further uncertainty to California's outlook during the reporting
period.

While employment and real estate values remained relatively stable in Southern
California, the San Francisco area continued to be the state's weak spot,
suffering from lingering effects of the technology downturn. Although some
economic data provided a glimmer of hope for the state's tech-related jobs, the
consensus was that any meaningful improvement in California's employment market,
especially technology, was not expected until 2004.

                                       2



During the first eight months of 2003, municipal new issue supply in the state
totaled $42 billion, up 56% over the same period in 2002. However, the delays in
budget approval, the size of the deficit, and the uncertainty created by the
recall effort also led to several downgrades of California's general obligation
debt over the twelve months ended August 31, 2003. In December 2002, Standard &
Poor's cut the state's credit rating to A from A+, while Moody's followed suit
in February 2003, lowering the rating to A2. In July 2003, Moody's and S&P again
downgraded the state, to A3/BBB from A2/A, respectively.

Past performance is not predictive of future results.

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


For the 12-months ended August 31, 2003, all of the Funds in this report with at
least one year of performance history (with the exception of NCU) outperformed
their respective Lipper peer group averages. In addition, NPC, NCL, and NKL also
outperformed the unleveraged Lehman Brothers California Insured Tax-Exempt Bond
Index, and NAC and NVX outperformed the Lehman California index, with NZH
lagging the uninsured index by a small margin.

In general over this period, the performance of most of the Funds were helped by
longer durations.4 During periods of declining interest rates, such as that we
experienced over the majority of the past reporting period, investments with
longer durations generally would have been expected to outperform those with
shorter durations. However, as bond yields jumped higher in late June and July,
longer durations worked to hamper the Funds' performances, especially in NZH.
Another factor in the performance of these Funds in comparison with the Lehman
California indexes over this period was their use of leverage, a strategy that
can provide the opportunity for additional income for common shareholders,
especially during periods of low short-term interest rates.

In addition to duration and leverage, factors such as call exposure, portfolio
trading activity, and the price movement of specific sectors and holdings also
had an impact on the Funds' performances during this period. For example, all
four of the uninsured Funds held bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco
settlement agreement. Over the year ended August 31, 2003, the prices of these
bonds weakened. The negative returns affected the NCU, NVX, and NZH in
particular. NAC was protected to a degree from these declines by its relatively
lower exposure to this sector. In recent months, tobacco bonds have shown some
recovery. Our strategy continues to be one of maintaining these holdings while
regularly evaluating the situation.



1 The total annual returns on common share net asset value (NAV) for the insured
  NPC, NCL, and NKL are compared with the total annual return of the Lehman
  Brothers California Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Index, an unleveraged, unmanaged
  index comprising a broad range of insured California municipal bonds, while
  annual returns for the uninsured NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH are compared with the
  total annual return of the Lehman California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, an
  unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade
  California municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any
  expenses.

2 The total returns of the insured California Funds are compared with the
  average annualized return of the 10 funds in the Lipper California Insured
  Municipal Debt Funds category, while the total returns of the uninsured
  California Funds are compared with the return of the 28 funds in the Lipper
  California Municipal Debt Funds category. Fund and Lipper returns assume
  reinvestment of dividends.

3 The taxable-equivalent yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
  taxable investment other than an alternative investment that generates
  qualified dividend income that is taxable at the maximum rate of 15%, in order
  to equal the yield of the Nuveen Fund on an after-tax basis. The
  taxable-equivalent yield is based on the Fund's market yield on the indicated
  date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 34.5%.

4 Duration is a measure of a fund's NAV volatility in reaction to interest rate
  movements. Fund duration, also known as leverage-adjusted duration, takes into
  account the leveraging process for a fund and therefore is generally longer
  than the duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the
  fund. References to duration in this commentary are intended to indicate fund
  duration unless otherwise noted.


                                       3



NCU also held bonds issued for Downey Community Hospital, which declined
following a downgrade to BB+ from BBB+ by Standard & Poor's in February 2003 due
to poor management of managed care and physician contracts. Although the
hospital had been slow to respond to declining operations, the downgrade spurred
management to make staff changes and implement operating improvements. We
continue to hold these bonds based on our belief that the S&P rating is too low
and that the hospital has sufficient balance-sheet liquidity to provide time and
resources for a turnaround. NCU's performance over this period was also
negatively impacted by the Fund's need to reinvest called bond proceeds at
today's relatively lower interest rates.


HOW DID THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT AFFECT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES?

With short-term interest rates remaining at historically low levels, the
dividend-payment capabilities of the Funds benefited from their use of leverage.
During the 12-months ended August 31, 2003, the continued low level of
short-term rates enabled us to implement two dividend increases in NPC, NCL, and
NAC and one each in NCU and NVX. Leverage also helped to support the dividends
of NZH and NKL, which, as of August 2003, had paid shareholders dependable,
attractive dividends for 22 and 16 consecutive months, respectively. NKX, which
was introduced in November 2002, declared its first dividend in January 2003 and
continued to pay steady dividends over the course of this reporting period.

Although the share prices and net asset values of these Funds generally
performed well during much of this 12-month reporting period, increased
volatility in the fixed-income markets during the summer of 2003 as well as
continued budgetary and political turmoil in California led to an overall
weakening of prices. While we began to see some recovery in August as municipal
supply thinned somewhat, the Funds' share prices and NAVs finished this
reporting period lower than they had been at the beginning. As of August 31,
2003, all of the Funds with at least one year of history continued to trade at
discounts to their common share NAVs, while NKX had moved to trading at a slight
discount (see charts on individual Performance Overview pages).


WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
AUGUST 31, 2003?

Over this 12-month period, we continued to place strong emphasis on diversifying
the portfolios, improving call protection, and enhancing dividend-paying
capabilities. One of our key strategies focused on managing the Funds' durations
in order to enhance our ability to mitigate interest rate risk and produce
potentially more consistent returns over time. Interest rate risk is the risk
that the value of a Fund's portfolio will decline when market interest rates
rise. The longer the duration of a Fund's portfolio, the greater its interest
rate risk. Over the course of the reporting period, we concentrated on finding
value in the intermediate part of the yield curve.

In NKL and NKX, which were introduced in 2002, we expanded our search further
out on the yield curve to find additional bonds that would help to support the
dividends of the two newest Funds. This has resulted in longer durations for
both NKL (15.13) and NKX (16.98). Over the past few months, we have been
swapping bonds with the goal of maintaining the yields of these Funds while
reducing their durations.


                                       4



Over the six months ended August 31, 2003, another key strategy centered on
selling or purchasing California general obligation bonds (GOs) to take
advantage of general market moves. In early spring 2003, the yield differential
between California GOs and national AAA credits with similar maturities had
narrowed to 35-40 basis points. We believed this made California GOs relatively
expensive and we largely moved the Funds out of positions in California GOs. By
June 2003, as the state's budget process stalled and the recall movement
gathered strength, the yield differential had widened, and we began buying
California GOs. Following the approval of the fiscal 2004 budget at the end of
July 2003, California GOs rallied on a relative basis. As the yield spread with
national bonds once again narrowed, we began to sell some of these GO positions
at what we believed were attractive prices.


WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE BOND CALLS FOR THESE FUNDS?

The five newer Funds will not experience any significant call exposure for
several years, with potential call exposure during 2003 and 2004 ranging from
zero in NVX to 5% in NKX. During this reporting period, we worked to mitigate
the call risk of the three older Funds, especially NCL and NCU, which marked
their 10-year anniversaries in 2003, a point in a Fund's life cycle often
associated with increased bond calls. As of August 31, 2003, NPC's potential
call exposure through 2004 was 12%, while NCL and NCU faced potential calls on
13% and 17% of their portfolios, respectively. The number of actual calls in
these Funds will depend largely on market interest rates in coming months.

In general, we believe that these Nuveen Funds can continue to serve as
attractive sources of tax-free income, while simultaneously offering the
potential for considerable portfolio diversification. In our opinion, these
Funds represent a quality component of a well-balanced core investment portfolio
that can continue to benefit shareholders over time.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The California Funds (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). 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 American Stock Exchange.
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as closed-end management investment companies.

Prior to the commencement of operations of California Dividend Advantage 3
(NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California
Tax-Free Advantage (NKX), each Fund had no operations other than those related
to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 per Fund
by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. (formerly, The John Nuveen Company), and the recording of the
organization expenses ($11,500 per Fund) and their reimbursement by Nuveen
Investments, LLC (formerly, Nuveen Investments), also a wholly owned subsidiary
of Nuveen Investments, Inc.

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 diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within the state of California.

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


Securities 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. When
price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service establishes fair market 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. If it is
determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate,
the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a
fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have
variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.


Securities Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities 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 and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At August 31, 2003,
Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2
(NCL), California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage (NAC),
California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) and
Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) had outstanding when-issued and
delayed delivery purchase commitments of $9,684,494, $20,891,454, $1,574,025,
$9,236,901, $3,629,077, $9,568,446, and $6,897,184, respectively. There were no
such outstanding purchase commitments in Insured California Tax-Free Advantage
(NKX).


Investment Income

Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.


                                       52



Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment
income to its shareholders. 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 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. All
monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended August 31,
2003, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends.


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 not less frequently than 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.


Preferred Shares

The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares.
Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate
on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction
process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate
period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by series and in total, for
each Fund is as follows:

                            Notes to
                                FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



Insurance

Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2
(NCL) invest in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or
are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government
or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of
principal and interest.

Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets
applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered by
insurance. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net
assets applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either
(i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities, or (ii) municipal bonds that are rated, at the
time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by
Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or 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 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.


Derivative Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments including
futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial instruments
with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in
such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any
such investments during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003.


Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.


Offering Costs

Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all Common share offering costs (other
than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for California Dividend
Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured
California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX). California Dividend Advantage 3's (NZH),
Insured California Dividend Advantage's (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage's (NKX) share of Common share offering costs ($551,264, $447,886 and
$176,250, respectively) were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the
sale of Common shares.

Costs incurred by California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California
Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) in
connection with their offering of Preferred shares ($2,137,378, $1,370,824 and
$1,044,953, respectively) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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.

Build Your Wealth
       AUTOMATICALLY

SIDEBAR TEXT: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET
UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.

NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded 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
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. 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
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.

FLEXIBILITY

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.

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

POLICY CHANGE

On November 14, 2002, the Board adopted a policy that allows each Fund, in
addition to investments in municipal bonds, to invest up to 5% of its net assets
(including assets attributable to preferred shares, if any) in tax-exempt or
taxable fixed-income securities or equity securities for the purpose of
acquiring control of an issuer whose municipal bonds (a) the Fund already owns
and (b) have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly
in credit quality, provided Nuveen Advisory determines that such investment
should enable the Fund to better maximize the value of its existing investment
in such issuer. This policy is a non-fundamental policy of each Fund which means
that it can be changed at any time by the Board of Directors without vote of the
shareholders.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT

Average Annual Total Return: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It
expresses the return (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that
would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual
performance over the time period being considered.

Average Effective Maturity: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a
fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (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.

Leverage-Adjusted Duration: Duration is a measure of a bond or bond fund's
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a bond 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 generally longer than the duration of the actual
portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund.

Market Yield (also known as Dividend Yield or Current Yield): An investment's
current annualized dividend divided by its current market price.

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

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.

---------
Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in
the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.

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

In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy
or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security,
Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") would either engage an independent third
party to determine how the proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the
consent, or based on the instructions, of the Fund's Board of Directors or
Trustees or its representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy
would be submitted to the applicable fund's Board to determine how the proxy
should be voted. A member of the Adviser's legal department would oversee the
administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in
accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and
the results were provided to the Board of Directors or Trustees and made
available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
