Once again, I am pleased to report that over the six-month period covered by
this report your Fund continued to provide you with attractive monthly tax-free
income. For more details about the management strategy and performance of your
Fund, please read the Portfolio Managers' Comments, the Dividend and Share Price
Information, and the Performance Overview sections of this report.
I also wanted to update you on some important news about Nuveen Investments. The
firm recently was acquired by a group led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC.
While this affected the corporate structure of Nuveen Investments, it has no
impact on the investment objectives, portfolio management strategies or dividend
policy of your Fund.
With the recent volatility in the stock market, many have begun to wonder which
way the market is headed, and whether they need to adjust their holdings of
investments. No one knows what the future will bring, which is why 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, and we believe that investments like your Nuveen
Investments Fund can be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted to
perform well through a variety of market conditions.
We also are pleased to be able to offer you a choice concerning how you receive
your shareholder reports and other Fund information. As an alternative to mailed
copies, you can sign up to receive future Fund reports and other Fund
information by e-mail and the internet. The inside front cover of this report

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, 2007?
Over the course of this period, we saw the municipal yield curve steepen, as
interest rates at the short end of the yield curve declined and longer-term
rates generally rose. In this environment, our investment strategies continued
to focus on finding relative value. We looked for undervalued sectors and
credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. The majority of
our purchases were attractively-priced bonds with longer maturities, typically
in the 30-year part of the yield curve. These purchases helped to offset the
shortening of the Funds' portfolio durations due to bond calls and the natural
tendency of bond durations to shorten as time passes.
Our focus in the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds was on buying bonds that
provided liquidity and facilitated trading. In Missouri, market conditions
resulted in a number of lower-rated, uninsured health care offerings coming to
market at the same time. To ensure buyer interest, these deals were offered at
very attractive prices. We took advantage of opportunities to purchase some of
these bonds, which we considered attractive based not only on their price, but
also on their performance potential and the support they could provide for NOM's
income stream.
When the liquidity crisis in August led the market to discount lower-quality and
higher-yielding bonds, we found several opportunities to add lower-rated
hospital and continuing care retirement community bonds, to NMT, NMB, and NOM.
In addition, the Connecticut Funds purchased single-family housing bonds at
discounts as a way to add both performance potential and favorable
income-generation capabilities. The four Connecticut Funds also added higher
education bonds and a public utility issue. We also bought some short-term
insured bonds in the Massachusetts Funds. These bonds, many of which had
underlying credits with which we were familiar through our research efforts,
offered attractive yields and pricing in the aftermath of the liquidity crisis.
Discussions of specific investments are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed
in this commentary represent those of the portfolio managers as of the date of
this report and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions
and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of
such changes.

In NOM, which had a large exposure to the shorter end of the yield curve
relative to our strategic target, we continued to work to restructure the Fund,
watching for opportunities that would help extend the Fund's duration. We also
focused on augmenting NOM's income stream by buying credits backed by some of
the nontraditional insurers, bonds with structures that were out of favor with
the market but which we believed were undervalued, and long credit positions
that offered attractive income potential.
To help generate cash for purchases and move the Funds' durations closer to our
strategic range, we selectively sold holdings with shorter durations. Selling
shorter duration bonds and reinvesting further out on the yield curve also
helped to improve the Funds' overall call protection profile.
We continued to emphasize a disciplined approach to duration1 management. As
part of our duration management strategies, we used inverse floating rate
securities,2 a type of derivative financial instrument, in NOM. The inverse
floaters had the dual benefit of bringing the duration of this Fund closer to
our strategic target and enhancing its income-generation capabilities. In
addition, the four Connecticut Funds and the three Massachusetts Funds used
forward interest rate swaps, another type of derivative instrument. The goal of
this strategy was to help us manage net asset value (NAV) volatility without
having a negative impact on the Funds' income streams or common share dividends
over the short term.
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 is a financial instrument designed to pay
long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
securities in which the Funds invested during the reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of
Terms Used in This Report sections of this report.

For the six months ended November 30, 2007, the cumulative returns on NAV for
NTC, NFC and NGK exceeded the return on the national Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index, while the returns of NGO, NMT, NMB, and NOM trailed the index. For
the same period, NGX outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers Insured
Municipal Bond Index. NTC, NFC, NGK, NGO, NMT, NMB and NGX all outperformed the
average return for the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average, while
NOM underperformed this average. Shareholders should note that the performance
of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average represents the overall
average of returns for funds from 10 different states with a wide variety of
municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less meaningful.
One of the factors contributing to the six-month performance of these Funds,
especially relative to the returns of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index and Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index, was the use of
financial leverage. The returns of NTC, NFC, NGK, NGO and NGX were positively
impacted by their use of leverage, while NMT, NMB and NOM were negatively
impacted. Although leveraging

municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any
expenses.

years, 18 funds. The performance of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt
Funds Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from 10

provides opportunities for additional income and total returns for common
shareholders, it can also expose shareholders to additional risk. With the
fluctuations in yields on longer municipal bonds and other market variations,
the impact of valuation changes in the Funds' holdings--both positive and
negative--was magnified by the use of leverage.
Other major factors that influenced the Funds' returns included yield curve and
duration positioning, the use of derivatives, sector allocations and credit
exposure.
During this six-month period, bonds in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
with maturities between two and twelve years, especially those maturing in
approximately six to eight years, benefited the most from changes in the
interest rate environment. As a result, these bonds generally outperformed
credits with longer maturities, with bonds having the longest maturities (22
years and longer) posting the worst returns. While our strategies during this
period included adding longer bonds to our portfolios, the Funds continued to be
relatively underweighted in the underperforming longer part of the yield curve,
and their overall portfolio durations remained short of our strategic target.
Consequently, duration and yield curve positioning were net positives for the
Funds' performances.
The forward interest rate swaps in place in the four Connecticut Funds and three
Massachusetts Funds also had a positive impact on the return performance of
these Funds. These derivative instruments provided exposure to taxable markets
during a period when, in contrast to historical trends, the Treasury market and
the municipal market moved in opposite directions. As municipal market
performance lagged the significant gains made by Treasuries, the forward
interest rate swaps performed well. At the same time, the inverse floaters in
NOM had a negative impact on the performance of this Fund, because they
effectively increased NOM's exposure to longer maturity bonds during a period
when shorter maturities were in favor in the market. However, these inverse
floaters also benefited NOM by helping to support its income stream.
Sectors of the market that generally made positive contributions to the Funds'
performances included water and sewer, transportation, and education. General
obligation credits and pre-refunded bonds, especially those that were advance
refunded before longer municipal interest rates began to rise in mid-2007, also
performed very well. In addition, the short-term insured bonds that we added to
the Massachusetts Funds later in the period posted strong returns.
On the other hand, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector,
generally tended to perform poorly. Revenue bonds as a whole, and specifically
the industrial development and health care sectors that had ranked among the top
performers in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index over the past few years
underperformed the general municipal market.
As interest rates on longer municipal bonds rose and credit spreads widened,
lower credit quality bonds also generally underperformed the municipal market as
a whole for the first time in several years. As of November 30, 2007, the
Connecticut Funds
7
had weightings of bonds rated BBB or lower and non-rated bonds ranging from
approximately 8% in NTC and NGK to 11% in NFC and 13% in NGO, while the
Massachusetts Funds' allocations totaled approximately 12% in NMT and 14% in
NMB. NGX, which can invest up to 20% of its assets in uninsured investment-grade
quality securities, held 2% of its assets in bonds rated BBB as of November 30,
2007, and the Fund's overall higher credit quality benefited its return. At 22%,
NOM had the heaviest weighting of bonds rated BBB or lower and non-rated bonds
across all eight of these Funds, which marred its performance.
Another factor that had a negative impact on the performance of the Connecticut
and Massachusetts Funds was their small position in bonds backed by certain
municipal insurers, specifically Radian Asset Assurance (Radian). NOM also had a
very small position (less than 1%) in bonds insured by ACA Financial Guaranty
Corporation (ACA). As concern increased about these two companies, prices on
bonds insured by Radian and ACA declined to levels close to what one would
expect for uninsured bonds from the underlying municipal issuers, detracting
from the performances of these Funds. It is important to note that these Nuveen
Municipal Closed-End Funds had no exposure to the collateralized debt products
that were at the center of the recent liquidity crisis.
RECENT MARKET EVENTS
Many of the municipal bonds in the portfolios are covered by policies of
insurance, issued by one of several municipal bond insurers, under which the
insurer guarantees the timely payment of interest and principal on the bonds.
[NGX has a policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in such insured
bonds.] Certain of those insurers, including AMBAC, MBIA and FGIC, historically
rated AAA (the highest grade), also insure investment vehicles representing
interests in subprime mortgages, which suffered severe credit deterioration
during the semi-annual period covered by this report. The defaults and/or credit
deterioration of the subprime mortgage investments they insured have caused
losses to the insurers, which has reduced the insurers' capital and called into
question the insurers' continued ability to pay interest and principal on
insured bonds for the life of those bonds. One rating agency has already reduced
the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA, and other rating agencies may follow,
and this rating may fall even further. While the major rating agencies continue
to give the other affected insurers their highest rating, as of the date this
report was written one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one or more rating
reductions in the future. The value of the insurance associated with bonds held
by the Funds in this report (a component of the value of the bond/insurance
combination) generally declined during and after the reporting period, and
further credit deterioration or rating downgrades of the insurers could cause
further declines in the value of the insurance component of an insured bond,
although it has not and should not affect the creditworthiness of the municipal
issuer of, and the uninsured value of, the underlying bond.

Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, these eight Funds use leverage to potentially enhance
opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. The Funds' use of
this strategy continued to provide incremental income, although the extent of
this benefit was reduced to a degree in some of the Funds by short-term interest
rates that remained relatively high during most of this period. This, in turn,
kept the Funds' borrowing costs high. The Funds' income streams were also
somewhat impacted as the proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured
or were called were reinvested into bonds currently available in the market,
which generally offered lower yields during much of this period. The combination
of these factors resulted in one monthly dividend reduction in NGK and NGO over
the six-month period ended November 30, 2007. In NGX, we were able to increase
the dividend effective August 2007, while the dividends of NTC, NFC, NMT, NMB
and NOM remained stable throughout this 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 Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of November 30, 2007, all of
the Funds in this report had negative UNII balances for financial statement
purposes and positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax
purposes.
As of November 30, 2007, the Funds' share prices were trading at premiums and/or
discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:
11/30/07 Six-Month Average
Premium/Discount Premium/Discount

this report, one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA, and
one or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on "negative

1 The percentage of AAA ratings shown in the foregoing chart reflects the AAA
ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC or MBIA as of November 30,
2007. As explained earlier in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of
this report, one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA, and
one or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on "negative
credit watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for such
insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
reduced below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer or insurers,
and thereby reduce the percentage of the portfolio rated AAA from the
percentage shown in the foregoing chart.
2 Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
rate of 31.6%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

1 The percentage of AAA ratings shown in the foregoing chart reflects the AAA
ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC or MBIA as of November 30,
2007. As explained earlier in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of
this report, one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA, and
one or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on "negative
credit watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for such
insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
reduced below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer or insurers,
and thereby reduce the percentage of the portfolio rated AAA from the
percentage shown in the foregoing chart.
2 Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
rate of 31.8%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
The Fund may 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 Portfolio 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.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
The Fund may 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 Portfolio 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.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
The Fund may 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 Portfolio 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.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
The Fund may 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 Portfolio 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.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
The Fund may 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 Portfolio 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.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has
variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a
short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect
at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes
periodically based on market conditions or a specified
market index.
(6) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has
variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a
short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect
at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes
periodically based on market conditions or a specified
market index.
(6) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.

SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly SIFM (Securities Industry and
Financial Markets) Municipal Swap Index.
At least 80% of the Fund's net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) are invested in municipal
securities that are either covered by Original Issue
Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance
which ensures the timely payment of principal and interest.
Up to 20% of the Fund's net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) may be invested in
municipal securities that are (i) either backed by an escrow
or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities (also ensuring the timely
payment of principal and interest), or (ii) rated, at the
time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or
BBB or better by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch) or
unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the
Adviser.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The AAA ratings shown in the Portfolio of Investments
reflects the AAA ratings on certain bonds insured by AMBAC,
FGIC or MBIA as of November 30, 2007. As explained earlier
in the Portfolio Managers' Comments section of this report,
one rating agency has reduced the rating for AMBAC to AA,
and one or more rating agencies have placed each of these
insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one
or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in
the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
below AAA by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds (the "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). 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
a municipal bond, forward swap or futures contract, each Fund may use a market
price or fair market value quote provided by a major broker/dealer in such
investments. If it is determined that the market price or fair market value for
an investment or derivative instrument is unavailable or inappropriate, the
Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for
the investment. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and
demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market 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, 2007,
Connecticut Premium Income (NTC), Connecticut Dividend Advantage (NFC),
Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2 (NGK) and Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3
(NGO) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of
$1,680,237, $837,485, $753,210 and $1,369,472, respectively. There were no such
outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.

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 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.
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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
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. The number of
Preferred shares outstanding for each Fund is as follows:

==================================================================================================================
Insurance
Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) invests at least 80% of its net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities that are covered by insurance. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of
its net assets (including net assets attributable 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) rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades Baa or BBB
or better by Moody's, Standard &Poor's or unrated but judged to be of comparable
quality by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen").
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 includes 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 may 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.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
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"). A Fund may also enter into shortfall and
forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit
recovery swap") 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, as well as any shortfalls in interest
cash flows. 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, recourse trust or credit recovery swap is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (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 accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" in the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended November 30, 2007, Missouri Premium Income (NOM)
invested in externally deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse
floaters. None of the other Funds invested in such instruments during the six
months ended November 30, 2007.
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, 2007, were as follows:

================================================================================
Forward Swap Transactions
The Funds are authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Funds' 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
70
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. Missouri Premium Income (NOM) was the
only Fund not to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions during the
six months ended November 30, 2007.
Futures Contracts
The Funds are 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 in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin when
applicable. None of the Funds invested in futures contracts during the six
months ended November 30, 2007.
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.
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 the 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.

4. 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 the treatment of paydown gains and losses, 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.

5. 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.
74
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 tables below. As
of November 30, 2007, the complex-level fee rate was .1837%.
Effective August 20, 2007, 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 Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.
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

Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Windy City
Investments, Inc. ("Windy City"), a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("Madison Dearborn"), pursuant to which Windy
City would acquire Nuveen Investments. Madison Dearborn is a private equity
investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The merger was consummated on
November 13, 2007.
The consummation of the merger was deemed to be an "assignment" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management
agreement between each Fund and the Adviser, and resulted in the automatic
termination of each Fund's agreement. The Board of Trustees of each Fund
considered and approved a new investment management agreement with the Adviser
at the same fee rate. The new ongoing agreement was approved by the shareholders
of each Fund and took effect on November 13, 2007.
77
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
The investors led by Madison Dearborn include an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. As
a result, Merrill Lynch is an indirect "affiliated person" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of each Fund. Certain conflicts
of interest may arise as a result of such indirect affiliation. For example, the
Funds are generally prohibited from entering into principal transactions with
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates. The Adviser does not believe that any such
prohibitions or limitations as a result of Merrill Lynch's affiliation will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
Effective November 30, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN
48). FIN 48 provides guidance regarding how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the
course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax
positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax
authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold
would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management of
the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
that require recognition in the Funds' financial statements. Consequently, the
adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the net assets or results of operations of
the Funds.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the
application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. As of November 30, 2007, management does not believe the adoption
of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of
Operations for the period.

* Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period takes place over
several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price,
so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in
the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market
price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

Annual Investment
Management Agreement
Approval PROCESS
The Board Members are responsible for overseeing the performance of the
investment adviser to the Funds and determining whether to continue the advisory
arrangements. At the annual review meeting held on May 21, 2007 (the "May
Meeting"), the Board Members of the Funds, including the Independent Board
Members, unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management
Agreement between each Fund (each, a "Fund") and Nuveen Asset Management
("NAM"). The foregoing Investment Management Agreements with NAM are hereafter
referred to as the "Original Investment Management Agreements."
Subsequent to the May Meeting, Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), the parent
company of NAM, entered into a merger agreement providing for the acquisition of
Nuveen by Windy City Investments, Inc., a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("MDP"), a private equity investment firm (the
"Transaction"). Each Original Investment Management Agreement, as required by
Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), provides for
its automatic termination in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the
1940 Act). Any change in control of the adviser is deemed to be an assignment.
The consummation of the Transaction will result in a change of control of NAM as
well as its affiliated sub-advisers and therefore cause the automatic
termination of each Original Investment Management Agreement, as required by the
1940 Act. Accordingly, in anticipation of the Transaction, at a meeting held on
July 31, 2007 (the "July Meeting"), the Board Members, including the Independent
Board Members, unanimously approved new Investment Management Agreements (the
"New Investment Management Agreements") with NAM on behalf of each Fund to take
effect immediately after the Transaction or shareholder approval of the new
advisory contracts, whichever is later. The 1940 Act also requires that each New
Investment Management Agreement be approved by the respective Fund's
shareholders in order for it to become effective. Accordingly, to ensure
continuity of advisory services, the Board Members, including the Independent
Board Members, unanimously approved Interim Investment Management Agreements to
take effect upon the closing of the Transaction if shareholders have not yet
approved the New Investment Management Agreements.
Because the information provided and considerations made at the annual review
continue to be relevant with respect to the evaluation of the New Investment
Management Agreements, the Board considered the foregoing as part of its
deliberations of the New Investment Management Agreements. Accordingly, as
indicated, the discussions immediately below outline the materials and
information presented to the Board in connection with the Board's prior annual
review and the analysis undertaken and the conclusions reached by Board Members
when determining to continue the Original Investment Management Agreements.
I. APPROVAL OF THE ORIGINAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials
relating to the services provided by NAM and the performance of the Funds. At
each of its quarterly meetings, the Board reviewed investment performance and
various matters relating to the operations of the Funds and other Nuveen funds,
including the compliance program, shareholder services, valuation, custody,
distribution and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of
services provided by NAM. Between the regularly scheduled quarterly meetings,
the Board Members received information on particular matters as the need arose.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Independent
Board Members received extensive materials, well in advance of the meeting,
which outlined or are related to, among other things:
[] the nature, extent and quality of services provided by NAM;
[] the organization and business operations of NAM, including the
responsibilities of various departments and key personnel;
88
[] each Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance compared to
funds with similar investment objectives based on data and information
provided by an independent third party and to customized benchmarks;
[] the profitability of Nuveen and certain industry profitability analyses for
unaffiliated advisers;
[] the expenses of Nuveen in providing the various services;
[] the advisory fees and total expense ratios of each Fund, including
comparisons of such fees and expenses with those of comparable,
unaffiliated funds based on information and data provided by an independent
third party (the "Peer Universe") as well as compared to a subset of funds
within the Peer Universe (the "Peer Group") of the respective Fund (as
applicable);
[] the advisory fees NAM assesses to other types of investment products or
clients;
[] the soft dollar practices of NAM, if any; and
[] from independent legal counsel, a legal memorandum describing among other
things, applicable laws, regulations and duties in reviewing and approving
advisory contracts.
At the May Meeting, NAM made a presentation to, and responded to questions from,
the Board. Prior to and after the presentations and reviewing the written
materials, the Independent Board Members met privately with their legal counsel
to review the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and considering the
renewal of the advisory contracts. The Independent Board Members, in
consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial
decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") directives relating to
the renewal of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Board
Members considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund,
including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality
of the services to be provided by NAM; (b) the investment performance of the
Fund and NAM; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be
realized by Nuveen and its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of
scale would be realized; and (e) whether fee levels reflect those economies of
scale for the benefit of the Fund's investors. In addition, as noted, the Board
Members met regularly throughout the year to oversee the Funds. In evaluating
the Original Investment Management Agreements, the Board Members also relied
upon their knowledge of NAM, its services and the Funds resulting from their
meetings and other interactions throughout the year. It is with this background
that the Board Members considered each Original Investment Management Agreement.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In considering the renewal of the Original Investment Management Agreements, the
Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services. The
Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, Nuveen's
organization and business; the types of services that NAM or its affiliates
provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the
applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and, any initiatives
Nuveen had taken for the municipal fund product line. As noted, at the annual
review, the Board Members were already familiar with the organization,
operations and personnel of NAM due to the Board Members' experience in
governing the respective Funds and working with NAM on matters relating to the
Funds. With respect to personnel, the Board Members recognized NAM's investment
in additional qualified personnel throughout the various groups in the
organization and recommended to NAM that it continue to review staffing needs as
necessary. In addition, the Board Members reviewed materials describing the
current status and, in particular, the developments in 2006 with respect to
NAM's investment process, investment strategies (including additional tools used
in executing such strategies), personnel (including portfolio management and
research teams), trading process, hedging activities, risk management operations
(e.g., reviewing credit quality, duration limits, and derivatives use, as
applicable), and investment operations (such as enhancements to trading
procedures, pricing procedures, and client services). The Board Members
recognized NAM's investment of resources and efforts to continue to enhance and
refine its investment process.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative and non-advisory services provided by NAM and noted
that NAM and its affiliates provide the Funds with a wide variety of services
and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
Funds, including:
89
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
[] product management;
[] fund administration;
[] oversight by shareholder services and other fund service providers;
[] administration of Board relations;
[] regulatory and portfolio compliance; and
[] legal support.
As the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry and given the importance of
compliance, the Board Members considered, in particular, Nuveen's compliance
activities for the Funds and enhancements thereto. In this regard, the Board
Members recognized the quality of Nuveen's compliance team. The Board Members
further noted Nuveen's negotiations with other service providers and the
corresponding reduction in certain service providers' fees at the May Meeting.
In addition to the foregoing services, the Board Members also noted the
additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to Nuveen's closed-end
funds, including, in particular, its secondary market support activities. The
Board Members recognized Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety
of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding
of closed-end funds. These efforts include:
[] maintaining shareholder communications;
[] providing advertising for the Nuveen closed-end funds;
[] maintaining its closed-end fund website;
[] maintaining continual contact with financial advisers;
[] providing educational symposia;
[] conducting research with investors and financial analysis regarding
closed-end funds; and
[] evaluating secondary market performance.
With respect to the Nuveen closed-end funds that utilize leverage through the
issuance of preferred shares ("Preferred Shares"), the Board Members noted
Nuveen's continued support for the holders of Preferred Shares by, among other
things:
[] maintaining an in-house trading desk;
[] maintaining a product manager for the Preferred Shares;
[] developing distribution for Preferred Shares with new market participants;
[] maintaining an orderly auction process;
[] managing leverage and risk management of leverage; and
[] maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency
criteria.
Based on their review, the Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent
and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective
Funds under the Original Investment Management Agreements were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM
At the May Meeting, the Board considered the investment performance for each
Fund, including the Fund's historic performance as well as its performance
compared to funds with similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer
Group") based on data provided by an independent third party (as described
below). The Board Members also reviewed the respective Fund's portfolio level
performance (which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses, and leverage)
against customized benchmarks, described in further detail below.
In evaluating the performance information during the annual review at the May
Meeting, in certain instances, the Board Members noted that the closest
Performance Peer Group for a fund may not adequately reflect
90
such fund's investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the
usefulness of the comparisons of such fund's performance with that of the
Performance Peer Group.
With respect to state-specific municipal funds, the Board Members also
recognized that certain funds do not have a corresponding state-specific
Performance Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a
more general municipal category for various states. With respect to municipal
closed-end funds, funds that do not have corresponding state-specific
Performance Peer Groups are from states other than New York, California,
Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. However, with respect to funds
based in Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania, the peer group may be
so small or the Nuveen funds may dominate the category to such an extent that
performance information for such funds was also compared to the more general
category for all states (other than New York and California).
The Board Members reviewed performance information including, among other
things, total return information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer Group
for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31,
2006. The Board Members also reviewed the Fund's portfolio level performance
(which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses, and leverage) compared to
customized portfolio level benchmarks for the one- and three-year periods ending
December 31, 2006 (as applicable). The analysis was used to assess the efficacy
of investment decisions against appropriate measures of risk and total return,
within specific market segments. This information supplemented the Fund
performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
Based on their review, the Board Members determined that each Fund's investment
performance over time had been satisfactory, subject to the following. With
respect to various municipal closed-end funds, the Board Members noted relative
total return underperformance in recent years compared to peers. The Board
Members reviewed materials and discussed with NAM the factors contributing to
the shift in performance including, among other things, the degree of risk
undertaken by peers compared to the municipal closed-end funds (such as through
the increased use of leverage or taking concentrated positions in high risk
credits). In addition, the Board Members also considered a fund's dividend
performance and the extent of any secondary market discounts. The Board Members
noted NAM's efforts to evaluate the factors affecting performance and determine
whether modification to a fund's investment strategy is necessary or
appropriate, and concluded that they were satisfied with the steps being taken.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
During the annual review, in evaluating the management fees and expenses of
a Fund, the Board reviewed, among other things, the Fund's advisory fees
(net and gross management fees) and total expense ratios (before and after
expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as
comparisons to the gross management fees (before waivers), net management
fees (after waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) of
comparable funds in the Peer Universe and the Peer Group. In reviewing the
fee schedule for a Fund, the Board Members considered the fund-level and
complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and
any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in
particular, for certain funds launched since 1999). The Board Members
further reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as
the methods of measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the
performance analysis. In certain cases, due to the small number of peers in
the Peer Universe, the Peer Universe and Peer Group had significant overlap
or even consisted entirely of the same unaffiliated funds. In reviewing the
comparisons of fee and expense information, the Board Members recognized
that in certain cases, the fund size relative to peers, the small size and
odd composition of the Peer Group (including differences in objectives and
strategies), expense anomalies, timing of information used or other factors
impacting the comparisons thereby limited some of the usefulness of the
comparative data. The Board Members also considered the differences in the
use of leverage. Based on their review of the fee and expense information
provided, the Board Members determined that each Fund's net total expense
ratio was within an acceptable range compared to peers.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
At the annual review, the Board Members further reviewed data comparing the
advisory fees of NAM with fees NAM charges to other clients. With respect
to municipal funds, such clients include NAM's municipal separately managed
accounts. In general, the advisory fees charged for separate accounts are
91
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
somewhat lower than the advisory fees assessed to the Funds. The Board
Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not
limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product
distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor
profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Board Members
noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as
discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately
managed accounts. As described in further detail above, such additional
services include, but are not limited to: product management, fund
administration, oversight of third party service providers, administration
of Board relations, and legal support. The Board Members noted that the
Funds operate in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive compliance
functions compared to other investment products. Given the inherent
differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided
to the Funds, the Board Members believe such facts justify the different
levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Board Members also considered
the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated
Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition.
At the annual review, the Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses
of Nuveen's advisory activities for the last three years, the allocation
methodology used in preparing the profitability data as well as the 2006
Annual Report for Nuveen. The Board Members noted this information
supplemented the profitability information requested and received during
the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability
(such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In
this regard, the Board Members noted the enhanced dialogue and information
regarding profitability with NAM during the year, including more frequent
meetings and updates from Nuveen's corporate finance group. The Board
Members also reviewed data comparing Nuveen's profitability with other fund
sponsors prepared by three independent third party service providers as
well as comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various
unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under
management prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Board Members recognized the subjective
nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous
factors, including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Board Members
recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of
other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability
information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may
not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other
things, the adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of
funds managed and expense allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board Members reviewed Nuveen's methodology
and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine
profitability. Last year, the Board Members also designated an Independent Board
Member as a point person for the Board to review the methodology determinations
during the year and any refinements thereto, which relevant information produced
from such process was reported to the full Board. In reviewing profitability,
the Board Members recognized Nuveen's increased investment in its fund business.
Based on its review, the Board Members concluded that Nuveen's level of
profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the
services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Board Members also
considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as well as any indirect
benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its affiliates
receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable to the
management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information
on indirect benefits NAM may receive as a result of its relationship with the
Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the
Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the Funds were
reasonable.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
With respect to economies of scale, the Board Members recognized the potential
benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset
base. To help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits, the Board Members
reviewed and considered the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that
reduce advisory fees. In addition to advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also
approved a complex-wide fee
92
arrangement in 2004. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of
the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds, are reduced as the assets
in the fund complex reach certain levels. In evaluating the complex-wide fee
arrangement, the Board Members noted that the last complex-wide asset level
breakpoint for the complex-wide fee schedule was at $91 billion and that the
Board Members anticipated further review and/or negotiations prior to the assets
of the Nuveen complex reaching such threshold. Based on their review, the Board
Members concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement
were acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to
shareholders, subject to further evaluation of the complex-wide fee schedule as
assets in the complex increase. See Section II, Paragraph D - "Approval of the
New Investment Management Agreements - Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels
Reflect These Economies of Scale" for information regarding subsequent
modifications to the complex-wide fee.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Board Members also considered any indirect benefits or
profits NAM or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with
each Fund. With respect to closed-end funds, the Board Members considered the
revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's
preferred trading desk and for serving as a co-manager in the initial public
offering of new closed-end exchange traded funds.
In addition to the above, the Board Members considered whether NAM received any
benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the commissions paid
by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that may be useful to
NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. With respect to NAM,
the Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar
arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that
occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless
principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends
to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
Based on their review, the Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits
received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable
and within acceptable parameters.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling in their considerations to continue an advisory
contract. The Board Members, including the Independent Board Members,
unanimously concluded that the terms of the Original Investment Management
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the renewal of the Original
Investment Management Agreements be approved.
II. APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Following the May Meeting, the Board Members were advised of the potential
Transaction. As noted above, the completion of the Transaction would terminate
each of the Original Investment Management Agreements. Accordingly, at the July
Meeting, the Board of each Fund, including the Independent Board Members,
unanimously approved the New Investment Management Agreements on behalf of the
respective Funds. Leading up to the July Meeting, the Board Members had several
meetings and deliberations with and without Nuveen management present, and with
the advice of legal counsel, regarding the proposed Transaction as outlined
below.
On June 8, 2007, the Board Members held a special telephonic meeting to discuss
the proposed Transaction. At that meeting, the Board Members established a
special ad hoc committee comprised solely of Independent Board Members to focus
on the Transaction and to keep the Independent Board Members updated with
developments regarding the Transaction. On June 15, 2007, the ad hoc committee
discussed with representatives of NAM the Transaction and modifications to the
complex-wide fee schedule that would generate additional fee savings at
specified levels of complex-wide asset growth. Following the foregoing meetings
and several subsequent telephonic conferences among Independent Board Members
and independent counsel, and between Independent Board Members and
representatives of Nuveen, the Board met on June 18, 2007 to further discuss the
proposed Transaction. Immediately prior to and then again during the June 18,
2007 meeting, the Independent Board Members met privately with their independent
legal counsel. At that meeting, the Board met with representatives of MDP, of
Goldman Sachs,
93
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
Nuveen's financial adviser in the Transaction, and of the Nuveen Board to
discuss, among other things, the history and structure of MDP, the terms of the
proposed Transaction (including the financing terms), and MDP's general plans
and intentions with respect to Nuveen (including with respect to management,
employees, and future growth prospects). On July 9, 2007, the Board also met to
be updated on the Transaction as part of a special telephonic Board meeting. The
Board Members were further updated at a special in-person Board meeting held on
July 19, 2007 (one Independent Board Member participated telephonically).
Subsequently, on July 27, 2007, the ad hoc committee held a telephonic
conference with representatives of Nuveen and MDP to further discuss, among
other things, the Transaction, the financing of the Transaction, retention and
incentive plans for key employees, the effect of regulatory restrictions on
transactions with affiliates after the Transaction, and current volatile market
conditions and their impact on the Transaction.
In connection with their review of the New Investment Management Agreements, the
Independent Board Members, through their independent legal counsel, also
requested in writing and received additional information regarding the proposed
Transaction and its impact on the provision of services by NAM and its
affiliates.
The Independent Board Members received, well in advance of the July Meeting,
materials which outlined, among other things:
[] the structure and terms of the Transaction, including MDP's co-investor
entities and their expected ownership interests, and the financing
arrangements that will exist for Nuveen following the closing of the
Transaction;
[] the strategic plan for Nuveen following the Transaction;
[] the governance structure for Nuveen following the Transaction;
[] any anticipated changes in the operations of the Nuveen funds following the
Transaction, including changes to NAM's and Nuveen's day-to-day management,
infrastructure and ability to provide advisory, distribution or other
applicable services to the Funds;
[] any changes to senior management or key personnel who work on Fund related
matters (including portfolio management, investment oversight, and
legal/compliance) and any retention or incentive arrangements for such
persons;
[] any anticipated effect on each Fund's expense ratio (including advisory
fees) following the Transaction;
[] any benefits or undue burdens imposed on the Funds as a result of the
Transaction;
[] any legal issues for the Funds as a result of the Transaction;
[] the nature, quality and extent of services expected to be provided to the
Funds following the Transaction, changes to any existing services and
policies affecting the Funds, and cost-cutting efforts, if any, that may
impact such services or policies;
[] any conflicts of interest that may arise for Nuveen or MDP with respect to
the Funds;
[] the costs associated with obtaining necessary shareholder approvals and who
would bear those costs; and
[] from legal counsel, a memorandum describing the applicable laws,
regulations and duties in approving advisory contracts, including, in
particular, with respect to a change of control.
Immediately preceding the July Meeting, representatives of MDP met with the
Board to further respond to questions regarding the Transaction. After the
meeting with MDP, the Independent Board Members met with independent legal
counsel in executive session. At the July Meeting, Nuveen also made a
presentation and responded to questions. Following the presentations and
discussions of the materials presented to the Board, the Independent Board
Members met again in executive session with their counsel. As outlined in more
detail below, the Independent Board Members considered all factors they believed
relevant with respect to each Fund, including the impact that the Transaction
could be expected to have on the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality
of services to be provided; (b) the investment performance of the Funds; (c) the
costs of the services and profits to be realized by Nuveen and its affiliates;
(d) the extent to which
94
economies of scale would be realized; and (e) whether fee levels reflect those
economies of scale for the benefit of investors. As noted above, the Board
Members had completed their annual review of the respective Original Investment
Management Agreements at the May Meeting and many of the factors considered at
the annual review were applicable to their evaluation of the New Investment
Management Agreements. Accordingly, in evaluating the New Investment Management
Agreements, the Board Members relied upon their knowledge and experience with
NAM and considered the information received and their evaluations and
conclusions drawn at the annual review. While the Board reviewed many Nuveen
funds at the July Meeting, the Independent Board Members evaluated all
information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations
were made separately in respect of each Fund.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be
provided by NAM under the New Investment Management Agreements, the Independent
Board Members considered, among other things, the expected impact, if any, of
the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of
NAM; the potential implications of regulatory restrictions on the Funds
following the Transaction; the ability of NAM and its affiliates to perform
their duties after the Transaction; and any anticipated changes to the current
investment and other practices of the Funds.
The Board noted that the terms of each New Investment Management Agreement,
including the fees payable thereunder, are substantially identical to those of
the Original Investment Management Agreement relating to the same Fund (with
both reflecting reductions to fee levels in the complex-wide fee schedule for
complex-wide assets in excess of $80 billion that have an effective date of
August 20, 2007). The Board considered that the services to be provided and the
standard of care under the New Investment Management Agreements are the same as
the Original Investment Management Agreements. The Board Members further noted
that key personnel who have responsibility for the Funds in each area, including
portfolio management, investment oversight, fund management, fund operations,
product management, legal/compliance and board support functions, are expected
to be the same following the Transaction. The Board Members considered and are
familiar with the qualifications, skills and experience of such personnel. The
Board also considered certain information regarding anticipated retention or
incentive plans designed to retain key personnel. Further, the Board Members
noted that no changes to Nuveen's infrastructure or operations as a result of
the Transaction were anticipated other than potential enhancements as a result
of an expected increase in the level of investment in such infrastructure and
personnel. The Board noted MDP's representations that it does not plan to have a
direct role in the management of Nuveen, appointing new management personnel, or
directly impacting individual staffing decisions. The Board Members also noted
that there were not any planned "cost cutting" measures that could be expected
to reduce the nature, extent or quality of services. After consideration of the
foregoing, the Board Members concluded that no diminution in the nature, quality
and extent of services provided to the Funds and their shareholders is expected.
In addition to the above, the Board Members considered potential changes in the
operations of each Fund. In this regard, the Board Members considered the
potential effect of regulatory restrictions on the Funds' transactions with
future affiliated persons. During their deliberations, it was noted that, after
the Transaction, a subsidiary of Merrill Lynch is expected to have an ownership
interest in Nuveen at a level that will make Merrill Lynch an affiliated person
of Nuveen. The Board Members recognized that applicable law would generally
prohibit the Funds from engaging in securities transactions with Merrill Lynch
as principal, and would also impose restrictions on using Merrill Lynch for
agency transactions. They recognized that having MDP and Merrill Lynch as
affiliates may restrict the Nuveen funds' ability to invest in securities of
issuers controlled by MDP or issued by Merrill Lynch and its affiliates even if
not bought directly from MDP or Merrill Lynch as principal. They also recognized
that various regulations may require the Nuveen funds to apply investment
limitations on a combined basis with affiliates of Merrill Lynch. The Board
Members considered information provided by NAM regarding the potential impact on
the Nuveen funds' operations as a result of these regulatory restrictions. The
Board Members considered, in particular, the Nuveen funds that may be impacted
most by the restricted access to Merrill Lynch, including: municipal funds
(particularly certain state-specific funds), senior loan funds, taxable fixed
income funds, preferred security funds and funds that heavily use derivatives.
The Board Members considered such funds' historic use of Merrill Lynch as
principal in their transactions and information provided by NAM regarding the
expected impact resulting from Merrill Lynch's affiliation with Nuveen and
available measures that could be taken to minimize such
95
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
impact. NAM informed the Board Members that, although difficult to determine
with certainty, its management did not believe that MDP's or Merrill Lynch's
status as an affiliate of Nuveen would have a material adverse effect on any
Nuveen fund's ability to pursue its investment objectives and policies.
In addition to the regulatory restrictions considered by the Board, the Board
Members also considered potential conflicts of interest that could arise between
the Nuveen funds and various parties to the Transaction and discussed possible
ways of addressing such conflicts.
Based on its review along with its considerations regarding services at the
annual review, the Board concluded that the Transaction was not expected to
adversely affect the nature, quality or extent of services provided by NAM and
that the expected nature, quality and extent of such services supported approval
of the New Investment Management Agreements.
B. PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS
With respect to the performance of the Funds, the Board considered that the
portfolio management personnel responsible for the management of the Funds'
portfolios were expected to continue to manage the portfolios following the
completion of the Transaction.
In addition, the Board Members recently reviewed Fund performance at the May
Meeting, as described above, and determined that Fund performance was
satisfactory or better, subject to the following. With respect to certain
municipal closed-end funds with relative short-term underperformance, the Board
Members concluded NAM was taking steps to evaluate the factors affecting
performance and those steps would continue following the Transaction. Further,
the investment policies and strategies were not expected to change as a result
of the Transaction.
In light of the foregoing factors, along with the prior findings regarding
performance at the annual review, the Board concluded that its findings with
respect to performance supported approval of the New Investment Management
Agreements.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
As described in more detail above, during the annual review, the Board Members
considered, among other things, the management fees and expenses of the Funds,
the breakpoint schedules, and comparisons of such fees and expenses with peers.
At the annual review, the Board Members determined that the respective Fund's
advisory fees and expenses were reasonable. In evaluating the costs of services
to be provided by NAM under the New Investment Management Agreements and the
profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities, the Board Members
considered their prior conclusions at the annual review and whether the
management fees or other expenses would change as a result of the Transaction.
As described above, the investment management fee is composed of two
components--a fund-level component and complex-wide level component. The fee
schedule under the New Investment Management Agreements to be paid to NAM is
identical to that under the Original Investment Management Agreements, including
the modified complex-wide fee schedule. As noted above, the Board recently
approved a modified complex-wide fee schedule that would generate additional fee
savings on complex-wide assets above $80 billion. The modifications have an
effective date of August 20, 2007 and are part of the Original Investment
Management Agreements. Accordingly, the terms of the complex-wide component
under the New Investment Management Agreements are the same as under the
Original Investment Management Agreements. The Board Members also noted that
Nuveen has committed for a period of two years from the date of closing of the
Transaction that it will not increase gross management fees for any Nuveen fund
and will not reduce voluntary expense reimbursement levels for any Nuveen fund
from their currently scheduled prospective levels. Based on the information
provided, the Board Members did not expect that overall Fund expenses would
increase as a result of the Transaction.
In addition, the Board Members considered that additional fund launches were
anticipated after the Transaction which would result in an increase in total
assets under management in the complex and a corresponding decrease in overall
management fees under the complex-wide fee schedule. Taking into consideration
the Board's prior evaluation of fees and expenses at the annual renewal, and the
modification
96
to the complex-wide fee schedule, the Board determined that the management fees
and expenses were reasonable.
While it is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty the impact of the
Transaction on Nuveen's profitability, at the recent annual review, the Board
Members were satisfied that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory
activities was reasonable. During the year, the Board Members had noted the
enhanced dialogue regarding profitability and the appointment of an Independent
Board Member as a point person to review methodology determinations and
refinements in calculating profitability. Given their considerations at the
annual review and the modifications to the complex-wide fee schedule, the Board
Members were satisfied that Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory
activities continues to be reasonable.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Board Members have been cognizant of economies of scale and the potential
benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset
base. To help ensure that shareholders share in the benefits derived from
economies of scale, the Board adopted the complex-wide fee arrangement in 2004.
At the May Meeting, the Board Members reviewed the complex-wide fee arrangements
and noted that additional negotiations may be necessary or appropriate as the
assets in the complex approached the $91 billion threshold. In light of this
assessment coupled with the upcoming Transaction, at the June 15, 2007 meeting,
the ad hoc committee met with representatives of Nuveen to further discuss
modifications to the complex-wide fee schedule that would generate additional
savings for shareholders as the assets of the complex grow. The proposed terms
for the complex-wide fee schedule are expressed in terms of targeted cumulative
savings at specified levels of complex-wide assets, rather than in terms of
targeted marginal complex-wide fee rates. Under the modified schedule, the
schedule would generate additional fee savings beginning at complex-wide assets
of $80 billion in order to achieve targeted cumulative annual savings at $91
billion of $28 million on a complex-wide level (approximately $0.6 million
higher than those generated under the then current schedule) and generate
additional fee savings for asset growth above complex-wide assets of $91 billion
in order to achieve targeted annual savings at $125 billion of assets of
approximately $50 million on a complex-wide level (approximately $2.2 million
higher annually than that generated under the then current schedule). At the
July Meeting, the Board approved the modified complex-wide fee schedule for the
Original Investment Management Agreements and these same terms will apply to the
New Investment Management Agreements. Accordingly, the Board Members believe
that the breakpoint schedules and revised complex-wide fee schedule are
appropriate and desirable in ensuring that shareholders participate in the
benefits derived from economies of scale.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
During their recent annual review, the Board Members considered any indirect
benefits that NAM may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds, as
described above. As the policies and operations of Nuveen are not anticipated to
change significantly after the Transaction, such indirect benefits should remain
after the Transaction. The Board Members further considered any additional
indirect benefits to be received by NAM or its affiliates after the Transaction.
The Board Members noted that other than benefits from its ownership interest in
Nuveen and indirect benefits from fee revenues paid by the Funds under the
management agreements and other Board-approved relationships, it was currently
not expected that MDP or its affiliates would derive any benefit from the Funds
as a result of the Transaction or transact any business with or on behalf of the
Funds (other than perhaps potential Fund acquisitions, in secondary market
transactions, of securities issued by MDP portfolio companies); or that Merrill
Lynch or its affiliates would derive any benefits from the Funds as a result of
the Transaction (noting that, indeed, Merrill Lynch would stand to experience
the discontinuation of principal transaction activity with the Nuveen funds and
likely would experience a noticeable reduction in the volume of agency
transactions with the Nuveen funds).
97
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
In addition to the factors above, the Board Members also considered the
following with respect to the Funds:
[] Nuveen would rely on the provisions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act.
Section 15(f) provides, in substance, that when a sale of a controlling
interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of
its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with
the sale so long as (i) during the three-year period following the
consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company's
board of directors must not be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser and (ii) an "unfair
burden" (as defined in the 1940 Act, including any interpretations or
no-action letters of the SEC) must not be imposed on the investment company
as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or
any express or implied terms, conditions or understanding applicable
thereto. In this regard, to help ensure that an unfair burden is not
imposed on the Nuveen funds, Nuveen has committed for a period of two years
from the date of the closing of the Transaction (i) not to increase gross
management fees for any Nuveen fund; (ii) not to reduce voluntary expense
reimbursement levels for any Nuveen fund from their currently scheduled
prospective levels during that period; (iii) that no Nuveen fund whose
portfolio is managed by a Nuveen affiliate shall use Merrill Lynch as a
broker with respect to portfolio transactions done on an agency basis,
except as may be approved in the future by the Compliance Committee of the
Board; and (iv) that NAM shall not cause the Funds and other municipal
funds that NAM manages, as a whole, to enter into portfolio transactions
with or through the other minority owners of Nuveen, on either a principal
or an agency basis, to a significantly greater extent than both what one
would expect an investment team to use such firm in the normal course of
business, and what NAM has historically done, without prior Board or
Compliance Committee approval (excluding the impact of proportionally
increasing the use of such other "minority owners" to fill the void
necessitated by not being able to use Merrill Lynch).
[] The Funds would not incur any costs in seeking the necessary shareholder
approvals for the New Investment Management Agreements (except for any
costs attributed to seeking shareholder approvals of Fund specific matters
unrelated to the Transaction, such as approval of Board Members, in which
case a portion of such costs will be borne by the applicable Funds).
[] The reputation, financial strength and resources of MDP.
[] The long-term investment philosophy of MDP and anticipated plans to grow
Nuveen's business to the benefit of the Nuveen funds.
[] The benefits to the Nuveen funds as a result of the Transaction including:
(i) as a private company, Nuveen may have more flexibility in making
additional investments in its business; (ii) as a private company, Nuveen
may be better able to structure compensation packages to attract and retain
talented personnel; (iii) as certain of Nuveen's distribution partners are
expected to be equity or debt investors in Nuveen, Nuveen may be able to
take advantage of new or enhanced distribution arrangements with such
partners; and (iv) MDP's experience, capabilities and resources that may
help Nuveen identify and acquire investment teams or firms and finance such
acquisitions.
[] The historic premium and discount levels at which the shares of the Nuveen
funds have traded at specified dates with particular focus on the premiums
and discounts after the announcement of the Transaction, taking into
consideration recent volatile market conditions and steps or initiatives
considered or undertaken by NAM to address discount levels.
98
G. CONCLUSION
The Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the Independent Board
Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Investment Management
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that the fees therein are reasonable in
light of the services to be provided to each Fund and that the New Investment
Management Agreements should be approved and recommended to shareholders.
III. APPROVAL OF INTERIM CONTRACTS
As noted above, at the July Meeting, the Board Members, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the Interim Investment
Management Agreements. If necessary to assure continuity of advisory services,
the Interim Investment Management Agreements will take effect upon the closing
of the Transaction if shareholders have not yet approved the New Investment
Management Agreements. The terms of each Interim Investment Management Agreement
are substantially identical to those of the corresponding Original Investment
Management Agreement and New Investment Management Agreement, respectively,
except for certain term and escrow provisions. In light of the foregoing, the
Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously determined
that the scope and quality of services to be provided to the Funds under the
respective Interim Investment Management Agreement are at least equivalent to
the scope and quality of services provided under the applicable Original
Investment Management Agreement.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price 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.
100
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.

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 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.
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] 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 common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares
issued in order to leverage 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.
[] 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.
