ITEM 1. REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS.
NUVEEN INVESTMENTS ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH FAF ADVISORS
On July 29, 2010, Nuveen Investments, Inc. announced that U.S. Bancorp will receive a 9.5% stake in Nuveen Investments and cash consideration in exchange for the long-term asset business of U.S. Bancorp’s FAF Advisors (FAF). Nuveen Investments is the parent of Nuveen Asset Management (NAM), the investment adviser for the Funds included in this report.
FAF Advisors, which currently manages about $25 billion of long-term assets and serves as the advisor of the First American Funds, will be combined with NAM, which currently manages about $75 billion in municipal fixed income assets. Upon completion of the transaction, Nuveen Investments, which currently manages about $150 billion of assets across several high-quality affiliates, will manage a combined total of about $175 billion in institutional and retail assets.
This combination will not affect the investment objectives, strategies or policies of the Funds in this report. Over time, Nuveen Investments expects that the combination will provide even more ways to meet the needs of investors who work with financial advisors and consultants by enhancing the multi-boutique model of Nuveen Investments, which also includes highly respected investment teams at NWQ Investment Management, Santa Barbara Asset Management, Symphony Asset Management, Tradewinds Global Investors, Winslow Capital and Nuveen HydePark.
The transaction is expected to close late in 2010, subject to customary conditions.
Chairman’s
Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder,
Recent months have revealed the fragility and disparity of the global economic recovery. In the U.S., the rate of economic growth has slowed as various stimulus programs have started to wind down, exposing weakness in the underlying economy. In contrast, many emerging market countries are experiencing a return to comparatively high rates of growth. Confidence in global financial markets has been undermined by concerns about high sovereign debt levels in Europe and the U.S. Until these countries can begin credible programs to reduce their budgetary deficits, market unease and hesitation will remain. On a more positive note, even though the countries now enjoying the strongest recovery depend on exports to countries with trade deficits, these importing countries have resisted the temptation to damage world trade by erecting trade barriers.
The U.S. economy is subject to unusually high levels of uncertainty as it struggles to recover from a devastating financial crisis. Unemployment remains stubbornly high, due to what appears to be both cyclical and structural forces. Federal Reserve policy makers are considering novel approaches to provide support to the economy, and administration policy makers are debating additional stimulus measures. However, the high levels of debt owed both by U.S. consumers and the U.S. government limit their ability to engineer a stronger economic recovery.
The U.S. financial markets reflect the crosscurrents now impacting the U.S. economy. Today’s historically low interest rates reflect the Fed’s easy monetary policy and the demand for U.S. government debt by U.S. and overseas investors looking for a safe haven for investment. Despite a continued corporate earnings recovery, equity markets continue to reflect concern about the possibility of a “double dip” recession. Encouragingly, financial institutions are rebuilding their balance sheets and the financial reform legislation enacted this summer has the potential to address many of the most significant contributors to the financial crisis, although many details still have to be worked out.
In this difficult environment, your Nuveen investment team continues to seek sustainable investment opportunities and, at the same time, remains alert for potential risks that may result from a recovery still facing many headwinds. As your representative, the Nuveen Fund Board monitors the activities of each investment team to assure that all maintain their investment disciplines. As always, I encourage you to contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your investment in a Nuveen Fund.
On behalf of the other members of your Fund Board, we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

Portfolio manager Scott Romans examines key investment strategies and the performance of the Nuveen California Municipal Funds for the six-month period ended August 31, 2010. Scott, who joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX since 2003. He assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPC and NCL in 2005.
What key strategies were used to manage the California Funds during the six-month reporting period ended August 31, 2010?
During this period, the combination of strong demand and tighter supply of new tax-exempt municipal issuance continued to create favorable supply/demand conditions that helped to support municipal bond prices. One reason for the decline in new tax-exempt supply was the considerable issuance of taxable municipal debt under the Build America Bond program. These bonds, first issued in April 2009, offer municipal issuers a federal subsidy equal to 35% of a security’s interest payments, providing issuers with an attractive alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt. For the six months ended August 31, 2010, taxable Build America Bond issuance totaled $49.4 billion, representing more than 24% of new bonds in the municipal marketplace nationwide. Of that total, almost $9 billion in Build American Bonds were issued in California, accounting for approximately 30% of municipal supply in the state. Since California’s total new issuance—both tax-exempt and taxable—was already down substantially from the same period a year earlier, the availability of tax-exempt bonds in California was significantly impacted. Because interest payments from Build America Bonds represent taxable income, we do not view these bonds as good investment opportunities for the Funds.
For the four insured California Funds, the supply situation was compounded by the continued decline in the issuance of AAA rated insured bonds. Over the period, new insured paper accounted for approximately 7% of national issuance, compared with 11% a year earlier and historical levels of approximately 50%. In response to this situation, in May 2010 the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees approved changes to the Funds’ investment policies that increased their investment flexibility while retaining the

insured nature of their portfolios. The insured California Funds can now invest at least 80% of their net assets in municipal securities that are covered by insurance from insurers with a claims-paying ability rated at least BBB-at the time of purchase. In addition, the Funds may also invest up to 20% of their net assets in uninsured investment-grade credits rated BBB-or higher. The investment policy changes are discussed in more detail on page eight.
Despite the constrained issuance on tax-exempt municipal bonds, we continued to find attractive value opportunities by exploring both the primary and secondary markets for undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to perform well over the long term. We found value in a variety of sectors, including lower-rated health care credits, redevelopment agency (RDA) issues and bonds issued for school districts and community colleges. During this period, a number of bonds issued by redevelopment agencies became available in the secondary market. The proceeds of these bonds are used to fund programs to improve deteriorated, blighted and economically depressed areas. The quantity of RDA bonds available in the marketplace allowed us to be very selective in evaluating these bonds on a case by case basis, buying only those where our research indicated that we potentially would be compensated for taking on additional risk.
We also purchased zero coupon and convertible zero coupon1 bonds issued for school districts and community colleges. These bonds, some of which were insured with underlying ratings of AA or A, offered longer durations with very attractive yields relative to their credit quality. Due to the low yield environment, bonds with longer durations were in less demand during this period, so this also meant very attractive pricing. Because the Funds tended to be at or short of their target duration, they were in a position to take advantage of this situation, benefiting from both the longer durations and strong yields of the bonds we added to our portfolios. With both the RDA bonds and the school district and community college credits, we were able to discover attractive candidates for purchase in both the insured and uninsured segments of the market.
Early in the period, we also added bonds issued by the state of California, including California general obligation (GO) and public works bonds, which are backed by appropriations of the state. We believed that these bonds offered good value, as credit spreads remained relatively wide. As the period progressed, these spreads began to tighten, and we reduced our purchases of California GOs as their spreads became less attractive.
Some of our investment activity during this period resulted from opportunities created by the provisions of the Build America Bond program. For example, tax-exempt supply was more plentiful in the health care sector because, as 501(c)(3) (non-profit) organizations, hospitals generally do not qualify for the Build America Bond program and must continue to issue bonds in the tax-exempt municipal market. Bonds with proceeds earmarked for refundings, working capital, and private activities also are not covered by the Build America Bond program, and this resulted in attractive opportunities in various other sectors of the market.
The impact of the Build America Bond program was also evident in the area of longer-term issuance, as municipal issuers sought to take full advantage of the attractive

financing terms offered by these bonds. Approximately 70% of Build America Bonds were issued with maturities of at least 30 years. Even though this program significantly reduced the availability of tax-exempt credits with longer maturities, we continued to find good opportunities to purchase attractive longer-term bonds for these Funds.
Cash for new purchases during this period was generated primarily by the proceeds from called and maturing bonds, which we worked to redeploy to keep the Funds fully invested. Selling was relatively insignificant, as the bonds in our portfolios generally offered higher yields than those available in the current marketplace.
As of August 31, 2010, all eight of these Funds continued to use inverse floating rate securities.2 We employ inverse floaters as a form of leverage for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income enhancement and total return enhancement.

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

formed the average return on the Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average, while the remaining three insured Funds trailed the Lipper average.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds’ returns during this period included yield curve positioning and duration, credit exposure and sector allocation. In addition, the use of structural leverage was an important positive factor during this period. The impact of structural leverage is discussed in more detail on page six.
For this period, municipal bonds with longer maturities generally outperformed those with shorter maturities, with credits at the longest end of the municipal yield curve posting the strongest returns. The outperformance of longer term bonds was due in part to the decline in interest rates, particularly at the longer end of the curve. The scarcity of tax-exempt bonds with longer maturities also drove up the prices of these bonds. Among these Funds, NCL and NCU were the most strongly positioned in terms of duration and yield curve, with overweights in the outperforming longer part of the yield curve and underexposure to the shorter end of the curve that did not perform as well. NVX, on the other hand, was relatively weaker in its duration and yield curve positioning, which negatively affected its performance. The net impact of duration and yield curve positioning varied in the other Funds from positive in NPC and NKX to neutral in NAC, NZH and NKL, depending upon their individual weightings along the yield curve.
During this period, we saw the demand for municipal bonds increase among both institutional and individual investors. This increase was driven by a variety of factors, including concerns about potential tax increases, the need to rebalance portfolio allocations and a growing appetite for additional risk for certain higher yielding bonds. Over time, this has caused credit spreads to narrow, and the trend greatly helped our lower-rated positions, especially those we bought at depressed values several years ago. At the same time, the supply of new tax-exempt municipal paper declined, due largely to the Build America Bond program. As investors bid up municipal bond prices, bonds rated A, BBB or below, and non-rated bonds generally outperformed those rated AAA or AA. NCU and NKL benefited from their heavier weightings in bonds rated A; NCU also had the smallest allocation of bonds rated AAA among these Funds. In NVX, an underweighting of the top-performing A rated credit category detracted from this Fund’s performance. Although the remaining Funds were generally helped by their allocations to lower-rated bonds, credit exposure tended to be a neutral factor in their performance for the period.
Holdings that positively contributed to the Funds’ returns during this period included health care and transportation bonds. Revenue bonds as a whole performed well, with leasing, special tax and education among the other sectors that outperformed the general municipal market. Zero coupon bonds also were among the strongest performers and general obligation (GO) and other tax-supported bonds outpaced the market for the first time in about a year. Most of these Funds, especially NZH, tended to be underweight in the tax-supported sector, particularly in California GOs, relative to the California market. This underweighting was due to the fact that California GOs comprise such a large portion of the tax-supported sector in California that it is very difficult to match the market weighting in our portfolios. During this period, the more underweight a Fund was in California GOs, the more it hurt that Fund’s performance.
Nuveen Investments 5
Among the poorest performers during this period were pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities. The underperformance of these bonds can be attributed primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. As of August 31, 2010, NVX held the heaviest weightings of pre-refunded bonds among these Funds, while NCL had the smallest allocation of these bonds. Among the revenue sectors, resource recovery trailed the overall municipal market by the widest margin, and industrial development revenue (IDR), housing and electric utilities also turned in weaker performances. The performances of NPC and NKX also were hurt by their allocations to the “other revenue” sector, which focuses largely on community facilities district (CFD) or land development bonds, also known as “dirt deals.” This area of the market was hard hit in the states most affected by the housing crisis, including California.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of these Funds relative to the comparative indexes was the Funds’ use of financial leverage. The Funds use leverage because their managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders. However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional volatility. For example, as the prices of securities held by a Fund decline, the negative impact of these valuation changes on common share net asset value and common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely, leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when the prices of securities held by a Fund generally are rising.
Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of all these Funds over this reporting period.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUNDS’ LEVERAGED CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Shortly after their inceptions, each of the Funds issued auction rate preferred shares (ARPS) to create financial leverage. As noted in past shareholder reports, the ARPS issued by many closed-end funds, including these Funds, have been hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more ARPS have been submitted for sale in each of their regularly scheduled auctions than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy have been almost completely non-existent since late February 2008. This means that these auctions have “failed to clear,” and that many, or all, of the ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in ARPS did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares continued to receive distributions at the “maximum rate” applicable to failed auctions, as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. In the recent market, with short-term rates at multi-generational lows, those maximum rates also have been low.
One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is that each Fund’s cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, each Fund’s common share earnings likely have been incrementally lower at times than they otherwise might have been.
6 Nuveen Investments
As noted in past shareholder reports, the Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees authorized several methods to refinance a portion of the Nuveen funds’ outstanding ARPS. Some funds have utilized tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as inverse floating rate securities, for leverage purposes. The amount of TOBs that a fund may use varies according to the composition of each fund’s portfolio. Some funds have a greater ability to use TOBs than others. Some funds have issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred (VRDP) Shares, a floating rate form of preferred stock. Some funds have issued MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP) Shares, a fixed rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption period of five years.
While all these efforts have reduced the total amount of outstanding ARPS issued by the Nuveen funds, the funds cannot provide any assurance on when the remaining outstanding ARPS might be redeemed.
During 2010, 33 Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds, (including NAC, NZH and NKX), received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of purported holders of common shares of each such fund, alleging that Nuveen and the funds’ officers and Board of Directors/ Trustees breached their fiduciary duties related to the redemption at par of the funds’ ARPS. In response, the Board established an ad hoc Demand Committee consisting of certain of its disinterested and independent Board members to investigate the claims. The Demand Committee retained independent counsel to assist it in conducting an extensive investigation. Based upon its investigation, the Demand Committee found that it was not in the best interests of each fund or its shareholders to take the actions suggested in the demand letters, and recommended that the full Board reject the demands made in the demand letters. After reviewing the findings and recommendation of the Demand Committee, the full Board of each fund unanimously adopted the Demand Committee’s recommendation.
Subsequently, twenty of the funds that received demand letters (including NKX) were named as nominal defendants in a putative shareholder derivative action complaint captioned Safier and Smith v. Nuveen Asset Management, et al. that was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division (the “Cook County Chancery Court”) on July 27, 2010. Three additional funds were named as nominal defendants in a similar complaint captioned Curbow v. Nuveen Asset Management, et al. filed in the Cook County Chancery Court on August 12, 2010, and three additional funds were named as nominal defendants in a similar complaint captioned Beidler v. Nuveen Asset Management, et al. filed in the Cook County Chancery Court on September 21, 2010 (collectively, the “Complaints”). The Complaints, filed on behalf of purported holders of each fund’s common shares, also name Nuveen Asset Management as a defendant, together with current and former Officers and interested Trustees of each of the funds (together with the nominal defendants, collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaints contain the same basic allegations contained in the demand letters. The suits seek a declaration that the Defendants have breached their fiduciary duties, an order directing the Defendants not to redeem any ARPS at their liquidation value using fund assets, indeterminate monetary damages in favor of the funds and an award of plaintiffs’ costs and disbursements in pursuing the action. Nuveen Asset Management believes that the Complaints are without merit, and intends to defend vigorously against these charges.

As of August 31, 2010, NZH had issued and outstanding $86,250,000 of MTP.
During this six-month reporting period, NCU, NAC, NVX and NKL filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registration statements seeking to register MTP. These registration statements, declared effective by the SEC, enable the Funds to issue to the public shares of MTP to refinance all or a portion of their ARPS. The issuance of MTP by these Funds is subject to market conditions. There is no assurance that these MTP shares will be issued.
As noted in previous shareholder reports, NKX has issued and outstanding $35.5 million of VRDP. During this six-month reporting period, NPC issued $42.7 million of VRDP to redeem at par its remaining outstanding ARPS. As noted previously, VRDP is a newly-developed instrument that essentially replaces all or a portion of the ARPS used as leverage and potentially could be used to refinance all or a portion of the ARPS of other Funds. VRDP shares include a liquidity feature that allows holders of VRDP to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider in the event that sell orders have not been matched with purchase orders and successfully settled in a remarketing. VRDP is offered only to qualified institutional buyers, defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.
During September 2010, subsequent to the reporting period, NCU completed the issuance of $35.25 million of 2.00%, Series 2015 MTP. The net proceeds from this offering were used to refinance the Fund’s remaining outstanding ARPS at par. The newly-issued MTP shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “NCU Pr C”. MTP is a fixed-rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption period, in this case, of five years. By issuing MTP, the Fund seeks to take advantage of the current historically low interest rate environment to lock in an attractive federally tax-exempt cost of leverage for a period as long as the term of the MTP. The Fund’s managers believe that issuing MTP may help the Fund mitigate the risk of a significant increase in their cost of leverage should short-term interest rates rise sharply in the coming years. Using the proceeds from the issuance of MTP, NCU redeemed at par the remaining $34.375 million of its outstanding ARPS.
Refer to Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies and Footnote 4 – Fund Shares for further details on MTP and VRDP Shares.
As of August 31, 2010, 83 out of the 84 Nuveen closed-end municipal funds that had issued ARPS have redeemed at par all or a portion of these shares. These redemptions
8 Nuveen Investments
bring the total amount of Nuveen’s municipal closed-end funds’ ARPS redemptions to approximately $5.5 billion of the approximately $11 billion outstanding.

RECENT CHANGES TO INVESTMENT POLICIES OF NUVEEN INSURED FUNDS
As a result of the “credit crunch” that began in 2007 and that led to the financial crisis that peaked in late 2008, the financial strength ratings assigned to most municipal bond insurers have been downgraded by the primary ratings agencies. These ratings downgrades generally have reduced, and any additional ratings downgrades may further reduce, the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by those bond insurers, including bonds held by the Funds. This in turn has sharply reduced, and in some cases may have eliminated, the value provided by such insurance. Nonetheless, the Fund’s holdings continue to be well diversified and on the whole, the underlying credit quality of its holdings are of medium to high quality. It is also important to note that municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
On May 3, 2010, the Nuveen funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees approved changes to the investment policies of all of the Nuveen insured municipal bond closed-end funds, including NPC, NCL, NKL and NKX. The Board took this action in response to the continuing challenges faced by municipal bond insurers. The changes to each Fund’s investment policies are intended to increase the Fund’s investment flexibility in pursuing its investment objective, while retaining the insured nature of its portfolio.
The changes, which were effective immediately, provide that under normal circumstances, the Funds invest at least 80% of their net assets (as defined in Footnote 7—Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) in municipal securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest. For purposes of this 80%, insurers must have a claims-paying ability rated at least BBB-at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency. In addition, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that are rated at least BBB-at the time of purchase (based on the higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying security) by at least one independent rating agency, or that are unrated but judged to be of similar credit quality by Nuveen Asset Management, or that are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities or U.S. Treasury-issued State and Local Government Series securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. Inverse floating rate securities with underlying bonds that are covered by insurance are included for purposes of the 80%. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities that are rated at least BBB-(based on the higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying bond) or that are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management.

Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information
During the six-month reporting period ended August 31, 2010, NPC, NCU, NAC, NVX, NKL and NKX each had one monthly dividend increase. NPC, NCL and NCU also had an additional dividend increase that was declared just prior to the start of this reporting period and took effect in March 2010. The dividend of NCL and NZH remained stable throughout the 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 August 31, 2010, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and positive UNII balances for financial reporting purposes.

1. General Information and Significant Accounting Policies
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund (NCU), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL) and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NKX) (collectively, the “Funds”). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) while Common shares of California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the NYSE Amex. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of California or certain U.S. territories.
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 (“U.S. GAAP”).
Investment Valuation
Prices of fixed-income securities and forward swap contracts are provided by a pricing service approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees. These securities are generally classified as Level 2. Fixed-income securities and forward swap contracts are valued by a pricing service that values portfolio securities at the mean between the quoted bid and ask prices or the yield equivalent when quotations are readily available. Securities for which quotations are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities) are valued at fair value as determined by the pricing service using methods that may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. The pricing service may employ electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to determine valuations. In pricing certain securities, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing service may consider information provided by Nuveen Asset Management (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (“Nuveen”) in establishing a fair valuation for the security. These securities are generally classified as Level 2.
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. These securities are generally classified as Level 1.
Certain securities may not be able to be priced by the pre-established pricing methods as described above. Such securities may be valued by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee at fair value. These securities generally include, but are not limited to, restricted securities (securities which may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act) for which a pricing service is unable to provide a market price; securities whose trading has been formally suspended; fixed-income securities that have gone into default and for which there is no current market quotation; a security whose market price is not available from a pre-established pricing source; a security with respect to which an event has occurred that is likely to materially affect the value of the security after the market has closed but before the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value (as may be the case in non-U.S. markets on which the security is primarily traded) or make it difficult or impossible to obtain a reliable market quotation; and a security whose price, as provided by the pricing service, is not deemed to reflect the security’s fair value. As a general principle, the fair value of an issue of securities would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them in a current sale. A variety of factors may be considered in determining the fair value of these securities, which may include consideration of the following: yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant. These securities are generally classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the priority of the significant inputs. Regardless of the method employed to value a particular security, all valuations are subject to review by the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees or its designee.
Refer to Footnote 2 – Fair Value Measurements for further details on the leveling of securities held by the Funds as of the end of the reporting period.

Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At August 31, 2010, there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Auction Rate Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”), $25,000 stated value per share, which approximates market value, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund’s ARPS are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. As of August 31, 2010, the number of ARPS outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows:

Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly scheduled auctions for the ARPS issued by the Funds than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions “failed to clear,’’ and that many ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the “maximum rate’’ applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. As of August 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of outstanding ARPS redeemed by each Fund is as follows:

MuniFund Term Preferred Shares
California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) has issued and outstanding $86,250,000, of 2.95%, Series 2015 MuniFund Term Preferred (“MTP”) Shares, with a $10 stated value per share. Proceeds from the issuance of MTP Shares, net of offering expenses, were used to redeem a portion of the Fund’s outstanding ARPS. Dividends, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting purposes, are paid monthly at a fixed annual rate of 2.95%, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The Fund is obligated to redeem its MTP Shares on January 1, 2015, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Fund. MTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. As of January 1, 2011, the MTP Shares will be subject to redemption at the option of the Fund, subject to payment of a premium until December 31, 2011, and at par thereafter. The MTP Shares also will be subject to redemption, at the option of the Fund, at par in the event of certain changes in the credit rating of the MTP Shares. The Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the MTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The MTP Shares trade on NYSE under the ticker symbol “NZH Pr C.”
During the six months ended August 31, 2010, California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) had an average liquidation value of $86,250,000 MTP Shares outstanding.
For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of MTP Shares is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on MTP Shares are recognized as “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on MTP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Net amounts earned by Nuveen as underwriter of the Fund’s MTP Share offering were recorded as reductions of offering costs recognized by the Fund. For the six months ended August 31, 2010, the net amount earned by California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) was $6,122.
Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) have issued and outstanding 427 Series 1 and 355 Series 2 Variable Rate Demand Preferred (“VRDP”) Shares, $100,000 liquidation value per share, respectively.
Insured California Premium Income (NPC) issued its 427 Series 1 VRDP Shares in a privately negotiated offering in March 2010.
Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) issued its 355 Series 1 VRDP Shares in a privately negotiated offering in August 2008. Concurrent with renewing agreements with the liquidity provider for its VRDP Shares in June 2010. Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) exchanged all its 355 Series 1 VRDP Shares for 355 Series 2 VRDP Shares. The principal difference in terms between Series 1 and Series 2 VRDP Shares is the requirement that the Fund redeem VRDP Shares owned by the liquidity provider if the VRDP Shares have been owned by the liquidity provider through six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing. Proceeds of each Fund’s offering were used to redeem a portion of each Fund’s outstanding ARPS. The VRDP Shares were offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and have a maturity date of March 1, 2040, for Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and June 1, 2040, for Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX).
VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature that allows VRDP shareholders to have their shares purchased by a liquidity provider with whom the Fund has contracted in the event that purchase orders for VRDP Shares in a remarketing are not sufficient in number to be matched with the sale orders in that remarketing. Each Fund is required to redeem any VRDP Shares that are still owned by the liquidity provider after six months of continuous, unsuccessful remarketing.
70 Nuveen Investments
Dividends on the VRDP Shares (which are treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the market value of the VRDP Shares is expected to approximate its liquidation value. If remarketing for VRDP Shares is continuously unsuccessful for six months, the maximum rate is designed to escalate according to a specified schedule in order to enhance the remarketing agent’s ability to successfully remarket the VRDP Shares.
Subject to certain conditions, VRDP Shares may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund may also redeem certain of the VRDP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.
Insured California Premium Income (NPC) had all $42,700,000 of its VRDP Shares issued and outstanding during the period March 31, 2010 through August 31, 2010, with an annualized dividend rate of 0.21%. Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) had all $35,500,000 of its VRDP Shares outstanding during the six months ended August 31, 2010, with an annualized dividend rate of 0.19%.
For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of VRDP Shares is recognized as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest payable” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on the VRDP Shares are recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense, each Fund also pays a per annum liquidity fee to the liquidity provider, which is recognized as “Liquidity fees” on the Statement of Operations.
Insurance
During the period March 1, 2010 through May 2, 2010, except to the extent that Insured California Premium Income (NPC) invests in temporary investments, all of the net assets (as defined in Footnote 7 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) of the Fund were invested in municipal securities that were covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest or backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. Insurers had a claims paying ability rated “Aaa” by Moody’s or “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s. Municipal securities backed by an escrow account or trust account did not constitute more than 20% of the Fund’s net assets.
Under normal circumstances, and during the period March 1, 2010 through May 2, 2010, Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invested at least 80% of their net assets (as defined in Footnote 7 – Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) in municipal securities that were covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest. For purposes of this 80%, insurers had a claims paying ability rated at least “A” at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency. In addition, each of Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invested at least 80% of their net assets in municipal securities that were rated at least “BBB” at the time of purchase (based on the higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying security) by at least one independent rating agency, or are unrated but judged to be of similar credit quality by the Adviser, or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities or U.S. Treasury-issued State and Local Government Series securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. Inverse floating rate securities whose underlying bonds are covered by insurance were included for purposes of this 80%. Each of Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) also invested up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities rated at least “BBB” (based on the higher rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
On May 3, 2010, the Funds’ Board of Directors/Trustees approved changes to Insured California Premium Income’s (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2’s (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage’s (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage’s (NKX) insurance investment policies in response to the continuing challenges faced by municipal bond insurers. The changes to Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage’s (NKX) investment policies are intended to increase the Funds’ investment flexibility in pursuing their investment objective, while retaining the insured nature of their portfolios.
The changes, which were effective immediately, provide that under normal circumstances, Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invest at least 80% of their managed assets in municipal securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest. In addition, the municipal securities in which Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invests will be investment grade at the time of purchase (including (i) bonds insured by investment grade insurers or rated investment grade; (ii) unrated bonds that are judged to be investment grade by the Adviser; and (iii) escrowed bonds). Ratings below BBB by one or more national rating agencies are considered to be below investment grade.
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the Funds’ Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are held by the Funds and is reflected as an expense over the term of the policy, when applicable. Accordingly, neither the

prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) that represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an “externally-deposited inverse floater”), or instead by first selling a fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a “self-deposited inverse floater”). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(IF) – Inverse floating rate investment.” An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as “(UB) – Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction,” with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate certificates issued by the trust as “Floating rate obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in “Investment Income” the entire earnings of the underlying bond and the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates is recognized as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended August 31, 2010, each Fund invested in externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a “recourse trust” or “credit recovery swap”) (such agreements referred to herein as “Recourse Trusts”) with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a Fund’s potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may increase beyond the value of a Fund’s inverse floater investments as a Fund may potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as “Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
At August 31, 2010, each Fund’s maximum exposure to externally-deposited Recourse Trusts, is as follows:

Forward Swap Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate swap contracts consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e. duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Each Fund’s use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund’s agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the “effective date”). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond’s maturity). The value of the Fund’s swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the swap’s termination date increases or decreases. Forward interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The net amount recorded on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a component of “Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward swaps” with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward swaps.”
Each Fund may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Net realized gains and losses during the fiscal period are recognized on the Statement of Operations as a component of “Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps.” Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. The Funds did not invest in forward interest rate swap transactions during the six months ended August 31, 2010.
Market and Counterparty Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, which is counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.

Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
Offering Costs
Cost incurred by California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) in connection with its offering of MTP Shares ($1,658,750) were recorded as a deferred charge, which will be amortized over the 5-year life of the shares. Costs incurred by Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) in connection with their offerings of VRDP Shares ($857,000 and $530,000, respectively) were recorded as deferred charges which will be amortized over the 30-year life of the shares. Costs incurred by Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) in connection with its

|
exchange of Series 1 VRDP Shares for Series 2 VRDP Shares were expensed as incurred. Each Fund’s amortized deferred charges are included as a component of “Interest expense and amortization of offering costs” on the Statement of Operations.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, their officers and directors/trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general 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. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. Fair Value Measurements
In determining the value of each Fund’s investments, various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
Level 1 –
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
|
|
|
Level 2 –
|
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
|
|
|
Level 3 –
|
Significant unobservable inputs (including management’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
|
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of each Fund’s fair value measurements as of August 31, 2010:

6. Income Tax Information
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. To the extent that differences

Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
|
arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.
At August 31, 2010, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010, the Fund’s last tax year end, (“post-October losses”) in accordance with federal income tax regulations. Post-October capital losses of $307,631 are treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year.
7. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund’s management fee is separated into two components – a fund-level fee, based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund’s shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

| * | The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed assets of all Nuveen funds, with such daily managed assets defined separately for each fund in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level fees, daily net assets and managed assets include closed-end fund assets managed by the Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes, financial leverage includes the funds’ use of preferred stock and borrowings and certain investments in the residual interest certificates (also called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB) trusts, including the portion of assets held by a TOB trust that has been effectively financed by the trust’s issuance of floating rate securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit the amount of such assets for determining managed assets in certain circumstances. As of August 31, 2010, the complex-level fee rate was .1831%. |
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its directors/trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent directors/trustees that enables directors/trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.
As of July 31, 2009, the Adviser is no longer reimbursing California Dividend Advantage (NAC) for any portion of its fees or expenses.

8. New Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurements
On January 21, 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued changes to the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements. The objective of which is to provide guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities disclose Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 roll-forward on a gross
Nuveen Investments 81

|
Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)
|
basis rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
9. Subsequent Events
MTP Shares
During September 2010, California Premium Income (NCU) successfully completed the issuance of $35.25 million of 2.00%, Series 2015 MTP Shares. The newly-issued MTP Shares trade on the NYSE under the symbol “NCU Pr C.”
ARPS Noticed for Redemption
During September 2010, California Premium Income (NCU) noticed for redemption all $34.375 million of its ARPS, at liquidation value, using the proceeds from the issuance of MTP Shares as described above.
Other Matters
During July 2010, lawsuits pursuing claims made in the demand letter alleging that Insured California Tax-Free Advantage’s (NKX) Board of Trustees breached their fiduciary duties related to the redemption at par of its ARPS had been filed on behalf of shareholders of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX), against the Adviser, the Nuveen holding company, the majority owner of the holding company, the lone interested trustee, and current and former officers of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX). Nuveen and the other named defendants believe these lawsuits to be without merit, and all named parties intend to defend themselves vigorously. Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) believes that these lawsuits will not have a material effect on it or on the Adviser’s ability to serve as investment adviser to it.

(a)
|
The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
|
|
(b)
|
Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
|
|
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares and/or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, where applicable.
|
|
(d)
|
Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund’s net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
|
|
(e)
|
The expense ratios reflect, among other things, payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred shareholders and/or the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, both as described in Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies, Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.

The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

(b)
|
Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
|
|
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund’s market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares.
|
|
(d)
|
After expense reimbursement from the Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund’s net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable. As of July 31, 2009, the Adviser is no longer reimbursing California Dividend Advantage (NAC) for any fees or expenses.
|
|
(e)
|
The expense ratios reflect, among other things, the interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited inverse floaters held by the Fund, where applicable, as described in Footnote 1 – General Information and Significant Accounting Policies, Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Nuveen Investments 91
Annual Investment Management
Agreement Approval Process (Unaudited)
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuance is approved at least annually by the fund’s board members, including by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any parties (the “Independent Board Members”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund’s board members must request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 25-26, 2010 (the “May Meeting”), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each a “Board” and each Trustee or Director, a “Board Member”) of the Funds, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the continuation of the advisory agreements (each an “Advisory Agreement”) between each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) for an additional one-year period. In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2010 (the “April Meeting”). Accordingly, the factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.
In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds and the Adviser, including absolute and comparative performance, fee and expense information for the Funds (as described in more detail below), the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and services provided by the Adviser. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of the Adviser, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be considered in evaluating the
92 Nuveen Investments
Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund’s Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members’ considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, including advisory services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Adviser’s organization and business; the types of services that the Adviser or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable fund product line, including continued activities to refinance auction rate preferred securities, manage leverage during periods of market turbulence and implement an enhanced leverage management process, modify investment mandates in light of market conditions and seek shareholder approval as necessary, maintain the fund share repurchase program and maintain shareholder communications to keep shareholders apprised of Nuveen’s efforts in refinancing preferred shares. In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the additional services that the Adviser or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, Nuveen’s continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an investor relations program to provide timely information and education to financial advisers and investors; providing marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining and enhancing a closed-end fund website; participating in conferences and having direct communications with analysts and financial advisors.
As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the background, experience and track record of the Adviser’s investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel, and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate the Adviser’s ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not provide an incentive for taking undue risks.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the quality of administrative services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates including product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers, shareholder services,
Nuveen Investments 93
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
administration of Board relations, regulatory and portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of compliance, the Independent Board Members also considered the Adviser’s compliance program, including the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser
The Board considered the performance results of each Fund over various time periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund’s historic investment performance as well as information comparing the Fund’s performance information with that of other funds (the “Performance Peer Group”) based on data provided by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or customized benchmarks. In this regard, the Board reviewed each Fund’s total return information compared to its Performance Peer Group for the quarter, one-, three-and five-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). In addition, the Board reviewed each Fund’s total return information compared to recognized and/or customized benchmarks for the quarter, one-and three-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). Moreover, the Board reviewed the peer ranking of the Nuveen municipal funds advised by the Adviser in the aggregate. The Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and discount levels. This information supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
In reviewing peer comparison information, the Independent Board Members recognized that the Performance Peer Group of certain funds may not adequately represent the objectives and strategies of the funds, thereby limiting the usefulness of comparing a fund’s performance with that of its Performance Peer Group. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered that the Performance Peer Groups of certain funds (including the Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc., Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund) were classified as having significant differences from such funds based on considerations such as special fund objectives, potential investable universe and the composition of the peer set (e.g., the number and size of competing funds and number of competing managers).
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s investment performance over time had been satisfactory. The Independent Board Members noted that the Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
94 Nuveen Investments
generally demonstrated favorable performance in comparison to peers, performing in the top two quartiles in the one-, three-and five-year periods ending March 31, 2010. The Independent Board Members noted that the Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc., Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund underperformed their benchmarks in the three-year period but outperformed their benchmarks in the one-year period. The performance of the Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund over time was satisfactory compared to peers, falling within the second or third quartile over various periods. While the Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 lagged its peers somewhat in the short-term one-year period, it demonstrated more favorable performance in the longer three-and five-year periods. Although the performance of the Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 lagged its peers somewhat in the longer periods, the performance had improved in the one-year period, performing in the first or second quartile.
C. Fees, Expenses and Profitability
1. Fees and Expenses
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund reviewing, among other things, such Fund’s gross management fees, net management fees and net expense ratios in absolute terms as well as compared to the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of funds based on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the “Peer Universe”) and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the Peer Universe (the “Peer Group”) and any expense limitations.
The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the construction of the applicable Peer Universe and/or Peer Group. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such as: the asset level of a fund relative to peers; the limited size and particular composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group; the investment objectives of the peers; expense anomalies; changes in the funds comprising the Peer Universe or Peer Group from year to year; levels of reimbursement; the timing of information used; the differences in the type and use of leverage; and differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe or Peer Group may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison with peers, including, in particular, the Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund.
In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain closed-end funds launched since 1999). Except
Nuveen Investments 95
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
as set forth in the following sentence, the Independent Board Members noted that the Funds had net management fees and/or net expense ratios below, at or near (within 5 basis point or less) the peer averages of their Peer Group or Peer Universe. Although the net management fees of the Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund were above the peer average and the available peer set was limited, the net expense ratio was below or near the peer average. In addition, although the Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc., Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund had net advisory fees and net expense ratios above the peer average, the Board members recognized the limited peers available for comparison.
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund’s management fees were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. Comparisons with the Fees of Other Clients
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the nature of services and fee rates offered by the Adviser to other clients, including municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed municipal bond exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are sub-advised by the Adviser. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among other things, because of the different services involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels of fees.
3. Profitability of Nuveen
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen’s wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen’s advisory activities for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2009. The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented the profitability information
96 Nuveen Investments
requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies during the year. The Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen’s revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other things, the adviser’s particular business mix, capital costs, types of funds managed and expense allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen’s methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen’s investment in its fund business. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen’s level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board Members also considered other amounts paid to the Adviser by the Funds as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Adviser 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 the Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
D. Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level
Nuveen Investments 97
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (Unaudited) (continued)
component and a complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset levels increase. Further, the Independent Board Members noted that although closed-end funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings, the growth of their assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of such funds’ investment portfolio.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered the Funds’ complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex are generally reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen’s costs are attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.
E. Indirect Benefits
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered information regarding potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits the Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered any revenues received by affiliates of the Adviser for serving as agent at Nuveen’s trading desk and as co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether the Adviser 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 the Adviser in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The Independent Board Members noted that the Adviser 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,” the Adviser intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect benefits received by the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds were reasonable and within acceptable parameters.

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

Reinvest Automatically
Easily and Conveniently
Nuveen makes reinvesting easy. A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account.
Nuveen Closed-End Funds Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you’ll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
Easy and convenient
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you’ll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
How shares are purchased
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund’s shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares’ net asset value or 95% of the shares’ market value on the last business day immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price
100 Nuveen Investments
per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
Flexible
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change.
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.

Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report
|
■
|
Auction Rate Bond: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond. Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for sale are deemed to have “failed,” with current holders receiving a formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
|
|
■
|
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, also known as inverse floaters, are created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a) issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond’s par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an “inverse floater”) to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate certificates’ holders, and in most circumstances the holder of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.

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 NAV per common share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of common shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
|
|
■
|
Pre-refunding: Pre-refunding, also known as advanced refundings or refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally raises a bond’s credit rating and thus its value.
|
|
■
|
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.
