LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Once again, I am pleased to report that over the 12-month period covered by this
report your Fund continued to provide you with monthly tax-free income and an
attractive total return. For more details about the management strategy and
performance of your Fund, please see the Portfolio Managers' Comments and
Performance Overview sections of this report.
As I noted in my last letter to you, many market observers are wondering whether
longer-term interest rates will soon begin to rise substantially, mirroring the
rise that has taken place over the past year in shorter-term rates. If
longer-term rates do begin to rise significantly, some have suggested that this
would be a signal to begin adjusting your holdings of fixed-income investments.
Nobody knows what the market will do in the future. But from our experience, we
do know that a well-balanced portfolio, structured and carefully monitored with
the help of a trusted investment professional, can be an important component in
helping you achieve your long-term financial goals. In fact, a well-diversified
portfolio may actually help to reduce your overall
"IN FACT, A WELL-DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO MAY ACTUALLY HELP TO
REDUCE YOUR OVERALL INVESTMENT RISK OVER THE LONG TERM."
investment risk over the long term. That is one reason why we believe that a
municipal bond investment like your Nuveen Fund can be an important building
block in a comprehensive investment program designed to perform well in a
variety of market conditions.
As in past reports, I urge you to consider receiving future Fund reports and
other Fund information by e-mail and the Internet. Not only will you be able to
receive the information faster, but this also may help lower your Fund's
expenses. Sign up is quick and easy - see the inside front cover of this report
for instructions.
You may have heard that in April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc.,
which owned 79% of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent of your Fund's
investment adviser) completed a public offering of a substantial portion of its
equity stake in Nuveen. At the same time, St. Paul Travelers also entered into
agreements to sell the balance of its shares in Nuveen to us or to others at a
future date.
These transactions had, and will have, no impact on the investment objectives or
management of your Fund. However, taken as a whole they are considered to be an
"assignment" of your Fund's investment management agreement. This means that you
and your fellow Fund shareholders will be asked to formally approve the
continuation of your Fund's management contract with Nuveen. We recently sent
you more information about this process. Be sure to read the information
carefully and return your completed proxy form by the date indicated.
At Nuveen Investments, our mission continues to be to assist you and your
financial advisor by offering investment services and products that can help you
to secure your financial objectives. We are grateful that you have chosen us as
a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and we look forward to continuing
to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,

Portfolio Managers'
COMMENTS
Portfolio managers Paul Brennan and Scott Romans review the economic and
municipal market environments, key investment strategies, and the annual
performance of these eight Nuveen Funds. Paul, who has 14 years of investment
experience, including 8 years with Nuveen, has managed NTC since 1999, NFC since
2001, NGK and NGO since 2002, and NMT and NMB since 2003. At the beginning of
May 2005, he assumed portfolio management responsibility for NGX. Scott, who
joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed NOM since 2003.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2005?
During this 12-month reporting period, the Federal Reserve implemented eight
separate one-quarter-point increases in the fed funds rate. These increases,
which were intended to help control economic growth and head off an increase in
the rate of inflation, raised this short-term target rate to 3.00% from 1.00%.
(On June 30, 2005, after the close of this reporting period, the fed funds rate
was raised another quarter point to 3.25%.) As the Fed raised short-term rates,
many market observers expected to see longer-term interest rates increase as
well. However, yields on longer-term municipal bonds (as measured by the
widely-followed Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index) actually declined by 61 basis
points during this reporting period. This resulted in a flattening of the
municipal market yield curve over the 12-month period.
The Fed's actions during this period seem to have helped the U. S. maintain a
fairly steady economic expansion. After growing at an annualized rate of 3.3% in
the second quarter of 2004, the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.0%
in the third quarter of 2004 and by 3.8% in both the fourth quarter of 2004 and
the first quarter of 2005. The year-over-year increase in the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) as of May 31, 2005, was a modest 2.8%, while unemployment in May
2005 dropped to 5.1% nationally, down from 5.6% in May 2004.
HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS AND
MISSOURI?
Connecticut is a highly developed, urbanized state with a diverse economy led by
manufacturing, financial services, education and healthcare. The defense
industry also plays an important role in Connecticut's economy, as 25% of the
state's manufacturing
4
jobs are concentrated in defense, and Connecticut currently ranks fifth among
the states in terms of total defense dollars awarded. Over the 12-month period,
the Connecticut economy has continued to recover. However, the recently released
plan for military base closures and realignments, if implemented, could have a
negative effect. As of May 2005, unemployment in the state was 5.3%, up from
5.0% in May 2004. In May 2005, Moody's reconfirmed its rating of Connecticut
debt at Aa3 with a stable outlook, and Standard & Poor's reconfirmed its AA
rating just after the close of this reporting period (June 1, 2005). For the 12
months ended May 31, 2005, Connecticut issuers offered $5.0 billion of new
municipal bonds, down 22% from the previous 12-month period.
The Massachusetts economy also continued its recovery over this period, although
the commonwealth lags the nation in that respect. However, Massachusetts
benefited from a well-educated population, relatively high income levels and a
diverse economy driven by healthcare, education, financial services and
technology. In May 2005, unemployment in Massachusetts was 4.8%, down from 5.2%
in May 2004. In March 2005, S&P cited a strengthening financial picture in its
upgrade of Massachusetts general obligation bonds to AA from AA-. In the same
month, Moody's confirmed its rating at Aa2, having revised its outlook for the
commonwealth to stable from negative in December 2004. During this 12-month
reporting period, Massachusetts issuers offered $10.8 billion in new bonds, down
6% from the previous 12 months.
During the 12-month period, economic recovery in Missouri outpaced that of the
Midwest region as a whole, with robust job creation following a deep
manufacturing-led recession that had cost the state thousands of jobs. In
addition to its central location, relatively low cost of living and highly
skilled workforce, Missouri benefited from a large and industrially diverse
economy that included construction, wholesale trade, transportation,
communications and utilities. However, the auto sector continued to suffer as
motor vehicle manufacturing employment declined 16% over the year. Overall,
unemployment in Missouri was 5.6% in May 2005, on par with the number for May
2004. The state's long-standing Aaa/AAA/AAA ratings from Moody's, S&P, and
Fitch, respectively, reflect its long history of effective fiscal management and
sound financial operations. Over the
5
12 months ended May 31, 2005, Missouri issued $4.0 billion in new debt, a
decrease of 30% from the previous 12 months.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED
MAY 31, 2005?
With many market participants anticipating higher interest rates throughout this
reporting period, our focus continued to be on finding bonds that we believed
would add immediate value to the Funds' portfolios while also offering the
potential to perform well under a variety of future market scenarios.
Overall, our purchase activity in these Funds emphasized bonds in the
intermediate part of the yield curve, that is, bonds that mature in 10 to 20
years. We believed that in these states this part of the curve generally offered
the most attractive opportunities and the best values during this period.
However, we also purchased bonds with maturities longer than 20 years when we
saw an opportunity to improve a Fund's yield curve positioning. This was
especially true for NMT, which had developed a relatively short average
effective maturity as many of its older bonds got closer to maturity or were
pre-refunded to early call dates. We also placed an emphasis on purchasing
premium bonds, which are bonds that at the time of purchase were trading above
their par values because their coupons were higher than current interest rate
levels. These bonds have been in great demand recently, since historically they
have held their value better than current coupon bonds when interest rates rise.
The majority of our new purchases over this period included insured or highly
rated bonds, reflecting the overall high credit quality of new issue supply.
While we sought to balance these purchases with lower quality bonds, the
municipal markets in these states did not provide many opportunities to purchase
non-rated or lower-rated bonds during this period. Lower-rated bonds were
generally among the best performers over this time period.
Often, the additions we did make to these Funds were financed with the proceeds
from sales of older pre-refunded bonds and bonds with shorter maturities, which
tended to underperform in the interest rate environment of the 12-month period.
6
As discussed in our last shareholder report, in late 2004 we began using forward
interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument, in an attempt to
reduce some of the interest rate risk in NFC, NGK, NGO, NMB and NGX. It is
important to note that we did not use these hedges in an attempt to profit from
correctly predicting the timing and direction of interest rate movements.
Instead, our sole objective was to reduce these Funds' durations (and therefore
their price sensitivity to interest rate changes) without having a negative
impact on their income streams or common share dividends over the short term.
The gain or loss from each Fund's hedging activity is reflected as an addition
or subtraction to the Fund's net asset value (NAV) as the market value of the
hedge fluctuates. The hedges were effective in helping to reduce the NAV
volatility of all of these Funds over the course of this reporting period. This
was especially important in the Connecticut Funds, as the sharp decline in
supply in the Connecticut municipal market during this period would have
increased the difficulty of achieving this objective through portfolio trading.
However, they had negative impacts on each Fund's total return over this period
because declining long-term interest rates caused the value of the hedges to
decline as the value of each Fund's portfolio rose.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of
taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale
of Fund shares.
For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your
Fund in this report.
For the 12 months ended May 31, 2005, the total returns on NAV for all seven of
the noninsured Funds in this report outperformed the return on the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index. Over the same period, NGX outperformed the Lehman
Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index. NMB and NGX also outperformed the average
return for the Lipper Other States peer group, while the other Funds trailed the
group average. Please keep in mind that the Lipper Other States average
represents the overall average of returns for funds from 10 different states
displaying a variety of economic and municipal market conditions. We believe
that makes direct comparisons between the returns of specific state funds with a
multi-state group average less meaningful.
One of the primary factors benefiting the 12-month performance of these Funds
relative to that of the unleveraged, unmanaged Lehman Brothers index was the
Funds' use of financial leverage. While leveraging can add volatility to a
Fund's NAV and share price, especially during periods when interest rates rise,
this strategy also can provide opportunities for additional income and total
return for common shareholders when short-term interest rates remain relatively
low and long-term rates fall.
As noted earlier, over most of this reporting period, longer-term rates tended
to fall while shorter-term interest rates rose. As a result, the prices of bonds
with longer maturities generally performed better than those of securities with
shorter maturities. This

bonds, while the Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index is an

hampered the performance of NMT, which had more exposure to the short end of the
yield curve than the other Funds shown in this report.
All of these Funds benefited during this period from their allocations to
non-rated bonds, or to bonds rated BBB or lower. These bonds generally
outperformed higher rated securities as the economy improved. However, NMT and
NMB held small positions (under 2% of their total portfolios) in Crosstown
Center Project bonds issued by the Boston Industrial Development Financing
Authority. These bonds were downgraded to BB from BBB during this period based
on the underperformance of the project hotel. We believed this situation was
temporary, and we continued to hold these bonds, which--despite the
downgrade--provided positive performance to both Funds over this period.
Some of the sectors with larger concentrations of these lower quality bonds that
made positive contributions to the Funds' 12-month returns were healthcare
(including hospitals and lifecare facilities) and higher education. In addition,
bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement also produced solid
performance during this period for the Connecticut Funds, as the litigation
environment improved. NMT added a small tobacco bond position toward the end of
the reporting period, too late to affect the Fund's reported performance.
Neither of the other Massachusetts Funds nor NOM held any tobacco credits during
these 12 months.
The performance of each of these Funds during this period also was boosted to
some extent by several advance refundings of their holdings, which resulted in
price appreciation as well as enhanced credit quality. At the same time,
however, their holdings of older pre-refunded bonds tended to underperform the
general municipal market, due primarily to the shorter effective maturities of
these bonds.
Housing, especially single family housing, was another sector of the market that
tended to underperform during this period, due largely to the increased risk of
prepayments and bond calls in the current interest rate environment. While all
of the Connecticut Funds had modest weightings in housing bonds as of May 2005,
NGK entered the reporting period with a larger allocation to single family
housing bonds than the other Funds and these bonds acted as a drag on NGK's
performance for the full period even though all of these bonds were sold by May
31, 2005. Although the performance of the housing sector in general had a
negative impact during this period, these holdings continued to serve as a good
source of core income for the Funds.
9
Some of the disparity in performance among the Funds can be attributed to the
fact that each Fund's portfolio is different. While we tended to purchase bonds
with similar maturities and similar characteristics for each Fund, some Funds
may perform better than others over time. This happens for a variety of reasons.
For example, some Funds may hold bonds that may be advance refunded while other
are not, or some issuers might be perceived to have greater financial strength
than others which effects the value of their bonds in the marketplace. Even
though the overall management strategy was the same across all the Funds, the
execution of that strategy sometimes created situations or conditions that led
to the performance differentials shown in the performance chart.
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF
MAY 31, 2005?
We continued to believe that, given the current geopolitical and economic
climate, maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of
May 31, 2005, all these Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with
allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA in the Connecticut Funds
ranging from 82% in NFC to 86% in NGO, 87% in NGK, and 89% in NTC. In the
Massachusetts Funds, NMT and NMB had AAA/AA allocations of 82% and 87%,
respectively, while NGX, which can invest up to 20% of its assets in uninsured
investment-grade quality securities, held 86% of its portfolio in AAA rated
bonds as of May 31, 2005. NOM's allocation of AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA bonds
accounted for 78% of its portfolio.
At the end of May 2005, potential call exposure for the period June 2005 through
the end of 2007 ranged from 2% in NMB and NGX, to 4% in NGK and NGO, 5% in NFC,
8% in NOM, 12% in NMT and 17% in NTC. The number of actual bond calls in all of
these Funds depends largely on future market interest rates.

Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
All eight of the Funds in this report use leverage to enhance opportunities for
additional income for common shareholders. The extent of this benefit is tied in
part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders.
During periods of low short-term rates, leveraged Funds generally pay lower
dividends to MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to
support common share dividends. However, when short-term interest rates rise, as
they did during this reporting period, the Funds' borrowing costs also rise.
While leveraging still provided benefits for common shareholders, the extent of
the benefit was reduced. As a result, NTC, NFC, NGK, NMT and NMB experienced a
single dividend cut over the 12-month period ended May 31, 2005, while NGX's
dividend was reduced twice. The dividends of NGO and NOM remained stable during
this period.
In addition, due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common
shareholders of the following Funds received capital gains and/or net ordinary
income distributions at the end of December 2004 as follows:
LONG-TERM
CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME
(PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTC $0.0114 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NGK $0.0657 $0.0006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NMT -- $0.0107
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NMB $0.1149 $0.0028
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 May 31, 2005, all of the
Funds in this report except NGX had positive UNII balances for both financial
statement and tax purposes. NGX had a negative UNII balance for financial
statement purposes and a positive UNII balance for tax purposes.

Fund as of May 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations for the year
then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated
therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of May 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers
were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nuveen
Connecticut Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2, Nuveen
Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3, Nuveen Massachusetts Premium

periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common
share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income Municipal
Fund (NTC), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFC), Nuveen
Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NGK), Nuveen Connecticut
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NGO), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income
Municipal Fund (NMT), Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
(NMB), Nuveen Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NGX) and
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM). Common shares of
Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Connecticut
Dividend Advantage (NFC), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut
Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO), Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB), Insured
Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are
traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment
companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free
Advantage (NGX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within a single state.
Effective January 1, 2005, Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC") the Funds' previous
adviser, and its affiliate, Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"), were
merged into Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"), each wholly owned subsidiaries of
Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"). As a result of the merger, NAM is now the
Advisor to all funds previously advised by either NAC or NIAC.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When price quotes
are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities),
the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of
municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and
rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated
cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of derivative
investments are also provided by an independent pricing service approved by each
Fund's Board of Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for
a derivative investment each Fund may use a market quote provided by a major
broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that market prices for an
investment are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds,
or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary
investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying
them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have
extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2005,
Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) had
outstanding when-issued purchase commitments of $557,319 and $317,049,
respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the
other 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 net investment income and net capital
gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state
income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX)
the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt
status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly tax-exempt
income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005, have been
designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains and ordinary
income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
57
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually.
Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one Series. The dividend rate on each Series is determined every
seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent,
and is payable weekly at the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred
shares outstanding for each Fund is as follows:

================================================================================
Insurance
Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) invests at least 80% of its net
assets (including net assets applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities that are covered by insurance. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of
its net assets (including net assets applicable to Preferred shares) in
municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust
containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or
(ii) municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, within the four
highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but
judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Fund's Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Fund
ultimately disposes of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Fund. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market
value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset
value of the Fund includes value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Fund
the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security
covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.
58
Forward Swap Transactions
The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use
of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to mitigate the negative
impact that an increase in long-term interest rates could have on Common share
net asset value. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's
agreement with the counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed rate payment in
exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment. The
amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward
swap contract. The Funds may close out a contract prior to the effective date at
which point a realized gain or loss would be recognized. When a forward swap is
terminated, it does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash. Each Fund intends, but is
not obligated to, terminate its forward swaps before the effective date.
Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such
transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty
failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon
termination. To minimize such credit risk, all counterparties are required to
pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of
each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain
above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an
unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the custodian to
pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the
amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral
pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations
fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses on investments,
timing differences in recognizing income on taxable market discount securities
and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investments.

At May 31, 2005, Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) elected to defer
$156,912 of net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2004
through May 31, 2005 ("post-October losses"), in accordance with Federal income
tax regulations. The post-October losses were treated as having arisen on the
first day of the following fiscal year.
5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
As approved by the Board of Trustees, effective August 1, 2004, a complex-wide
management fee structure was adopted for all funds sponsored by the Adviser, or
its predecessor and its affiliates. This fee structure separates each fund's
management fee into two components - a complex-level component, based on the
aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser and a specific
fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual
fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from
growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the
amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. Under no circumstances
will this pricing structure result in a fund paying management fees at a rate
higher than would otherwise have been applicable had the complex-wide management
fee structure not been implemented. As of June 30, 2005, the complex-level fee
rate was .1900%; that is, the funds' effective management fees were reduced by
approximately .0100%.
62
Effective August 1, 2004, the annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each
of the Funds is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:
CONNECTICUT PREMIUM INCOME (NTC)

For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For net assets over $2 billion .3750
================================================================================
Effective August 1, 2004, the annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which
is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S.,
is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $55 billion .2000%
For the next $1 billion .1800
For the next $1 billion .1600

For the next $3 billion .1250
For the next $5 billion .1200
For the next $5 billion .1175
For the next $15 billion .1150
For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds
in the U.S.
(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee
rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later
date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91
billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to
be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level
fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such
time as a different rate or rates is determined.
Each Fund paid through July 31, 2004, an annual management fee, payable monthly,
at the rates set forth below, which were based upon the average daily net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees
has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables
Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual
compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds.
Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had
been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds.
For the first ten years of Connecticut Dividend Advantage's (NFC) and
Massachusetts Dividend Advantage's (NMB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to
reimburse the Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net
assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts

6. ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PARENT COMPANY OF ADVISER
In early April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul
Travelers"), which owned 79% of Nuveen, (A) completed a public offering of a
substantial portion of its equity stake in Nuveen, (B) sold Nuveen $200 million
of its Nuveen shares, (C) entered into an agreement with Nuveen to sell an
additional $400 million of its Nuveen shares on a "forward" basis with payment
for and settlement of these shares delayed for several months, and (D) entered
into agreements with two unaffiliated investment banking firms to sell an amount
equal to most or all of its remaining Nuveen shares for current payment but for
future settlement. The settlement of transactions (C) and (D) above would likely
be deemed an "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment
management agreements between the Funds and the Adviser, which would result in
the automatic termination of each agreement under the 1940 Act. The Board of
Trustees will consider approval of new ongoing investment management agreements
for each Fund and the submission of those agreements for approval by each
respective Fund's shareholders. Those agreements, if approved by a Fund's
shareholders, would take effect upon such approval. There can be no assurance
that these approvals will be obtained.

ANNUAL INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS
At a meeting held on May 10-12, 2005, the Board of Trustees of each Fund,
including the independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Investment
Management Agreement between each Fund and NAM.
THE APPROVAL PROCESS
To assist the Board in its evaluation of an advisory contract with NAM, the
independent Trustees received a report in adequate time in advance of their
meeting which outlined, among other things, the services provided by NAM; the
organization of NAM, including the responsibilities of various departments and
key personnel; the Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance
compared to funds of similar investment objectives compiled by an independent
third party (a "Peer Group") and if available, with recognized or, in certain
cases, customized benchmarks; the profitability of NAM and certain industry
profitability analyses for advisers to unaffiliated investment companies; the
expenses of NAM in providing the various services; the advisory fees of NAM,
including comparisons of such fees with the management fees of comparable funds
in its Peer Group as well as comparisons of NAM's management fees with the fees
NAM assesses to other types of investment products or accounts, if any; the soft
dollar practices of NAM; and the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons of
the Fund's expense ratios (after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its
Peer Group. This information supplements that received by the Board throughout
the year regarding Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition,
trade execution and sales activity.
In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the
independent Trustees provided, in advance of the meeting, a legal memorandum
outlining, among other things, the duties of the Trustees under the 1940 Act as
well as the general principles of relevant state law in reviewing and approving
advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an
adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation;
the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of
directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be considered by the board
in voting on advisory agreements.
At the Board meeting, NAM made a presentation to and responded to questions from
the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials,
the independent Trustees met privately with their legal counsel to review the
Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the renewal of the
advisory contract. It is with this background that the Trustees considered each
Investment Management Agreement with NAM. The independent Trustees, in
consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial
decisions and SEC directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts. As
outlined in more detail below, the Trustees considered all factors they believed
relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following: (a) the nature,
extent and quality of the services to be provided by NAM; (b) the investment
performance of the Fund and NAM; (c) the costs of the services to be provided
and profits to be realized by NAM and its affiliates from the relationship with
the Fund; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the
Fund grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the
benefit of Fund investors.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, the Trustees
reviewed information concerning the types of services that NAM or its affiliates
provide and are expected to provide to the Nuveen Funds; narrative and
statistical information concerning the Fund's performance record and how such
performance compares to the Fund's Peer Group and, if available, recognized
benchmarks or, in certain cases, customized benchmarks (as described in further
detail in Section B below); information describing NAM's organization and its
various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel, and
available resources. In the discussion of key personnel, the Trustees received
materials regarding the changes or additions in personnel of NAM. The Trustees
further noted the willingness of the personnel of NAM to engage in open, candid
discussions with the Board. The Trustees further considered the quality of NAM's
investment process in making portfolio management decisions, including any
refinements or improvements to the portfolio management processes, enhancements
to technology and systems that are available to portfolio managers, and any
additions of new personnel which may strengthen or expand the research and
investment capabilities of NAM. In their review of advisory contracts for the
fixed income funds, the Trustees also noted that Nuveen won the Lipper Award for
Best Fund Family: Fixed Income-Large Asset Class, for 2004. Given the Trustees'
experience with the Funds, other Nuveen funds and NAM, the Trustees noted that
they were familiar with and continue to have a good understanding of the
organization, operations and personnel of NAM.
In addition to advisory services, the independent Trustees considered the
quality of the administrative or non-advisory services provided. In this regard,
NAM provides the Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of,
and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Funds) and
officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the
respective Fund. In addition to investment management services, NAM and its
affiliates provide each Fund with a wide range of services, including: preparing
shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; providing quarterly financial
statements; overseeing and coordinating the
74
activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board
meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal
support (such as helping to prepare registration statements, amendments thereto
and proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing
other Fund administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective
Fund (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). In
addition, in evaluating the administrative services, the Trustees considered, in
particular, NAM's policies and procedures for assuring compliance with
applicable laws and regulations in light of the new SEC regulations governing
compliance. The Trustees noted NAM's focus on compliance and its compliance
systems. In their review, the Trustees considered, among other things, the
additions of experienced personnel to NAM's compliance group and modifications
and other enhancements to NAM's computer systems. In addition to the foregoing,
the Trustees also noted that NAM outsources certain services that cannot be
replicated without significant costs or at the same level of expertise. Such
outsourcing has been a beneficial and efficient use of resources by keeping
expenses low while obtaining quality services.
In addition to the above, in reviewing the variety of additional services that
NAM or its affiliates must provide to closed-end funds, such as the Funds, the
independent Trustees determined that Nuveen's commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds is particularly
noteworthy. In this regard, the Trustees noted Nuveen's efforts to sponsor
numerous forums for analysts and specialists regarding the various Nuveen
closed-end funds, its creation of a new senior position dedicated to providing
secondary market support services and enhancing communications with investors
and analysts, and its advertising and media relations efforts designed to raise
investor and analyst awareness of the closed-end funds.
With respect to services provided to municipal funds, such as the Funds, the
Trustees also noted, among other things, the enhancements NAM implemented to its
municipal portfolio management processes (e.g., the increased use of benchmarks
to guide and assess the performance of its portfolio managers); the
implementation of a risk management program; and the various initiatives being
undertaken to enhance or modify NAM's computer systems as necessary to support
the innovations of the municipal investment team (such as, the ability to assess
certain historical data in order to create customized benchmarks, perform
attribution analysis and facilitate the use of derivatives as hedging
instruments). With respect to certain of the Funds with a less seasoned
portfolio, the Trustees also noted the hedging program implemented for such
Funds and the team responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the
hedging procedures. The hedging program was designed to help maintain the
applicable Fund's duration within certain benchmarks.
Based on their review, the Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and
quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds under
the Investment Management Agreements were of a high level and were quite
satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND ADVISER
As previously noted, the Board received a myriad of performance information
regarding each Fund and its Peer Group, if available. Among other things, the
Board received materials reflecting a Fund's historic performance, the Fund's
performance compared to its Peer Group and, if available, its performance
compared to recognized and, in certain cases, customized benchmarks. Further, in
evaluating the performance information, in certain limited instances, the
Trustees noted that the closest Peer Group for a Fund still would not adequately
reflect such Fund's investment objectives and strategies, thereby limiting the
usefulness of the comparisons of such Fund's performance with that of the Peer
Group.
For state municipal funds, such as the Funds, the performance data included,
among other things, the respective Fund's performance relative to its peers.
More specifically, a Fund's one, three and five year total returns (as
available) for the periods ending December 31, 2004 were evaluated relative to
the unaffiliated funds in its respective Peer Group (including the returns of
individual peers as well as the Peer Group average) as well as additional
performance information with respect to all the funds in the Peer Group, subject
to the following. Certain state municipal Funds do not have a corresponding Peer
Group in which case their performance is measured against a state-specific
municipal index compiled by an independent third party. Such indices measure
bond performance rather than fund performance. The closed-end Funds that utilize
such indices are from Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina,
Texas and Virginia. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that each
Fund's absolute and relative investment performance over time had been
satisfactory.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
In evaluating the management fees and expenses that a Fund is expected to
bear, the Trustees considered the Fund's current management fee structure
and the Fund's expected expense ratios in absolute terms as well as
compared with the fees and expense ratios of the unaffiliated funds in its
Peer Group. The Trustees reviewed the financial information of NAM,
including its respective revenues, expenses and profitability. In reviewing
fees, the Trustees, among other things, reviewed comparisons of the Fund's
gross management fees (fees after fund-level and complex-wide level
breakpoints but before reimbursement and fee waivers), net management fees
(after breakpoints and reimbursements and fee waivers) and total expense
ratios (before and after waivers) with those of the unaffiliated funds in
the Peer Group and peer averages. In this regard, the Trustees noted that
the relative ranking of the Nuveen Funds on fees and expenses was aided by
the significant level of fee reductions provided by the fund-level and
complex-wide breakpoint schedules, and the fee waivers and reimbursements
provided by Nuveen for certain Funds launched since 1999. The complex-wide
breakpoint schedule was instituted in 2004 and is described in further
detail below in Section D entitled "Economies of Scale." In their review of
the fee and expense information provided, including, in particular, the
expense ratios of the unaffiliated funds in the respective Peer Group, the
Trustees determined that each Fund's net total expense ratio was within an
acceptable range compared to such peers.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Trustees further compared the fees of NAM to the fees NAM assessed for
other types of clients investing in municipal funds (such as municipal
managed accounts). With respect to such separately managed accounts, the
advisory fees for such accounts
75
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
are generally lower than those charged to the comparable Fund. The Trustees
noted, however, the additional services that are provided and the costs
incurred by Nuveen in managing and operating registered investment
companies, such as the Funds, compared to individually managed separate
accounts. For instance, as described above, NAM and its affiliates provide
numerous services to the Funds including, but not limited to, preparing
shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; preparing quarterly
financial statements; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other
service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and
preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal support;
and administering all other aspects of the Fund's operations. Further, the
Trustees noted the increased compliance requirements for funds in light of
new SEC regulations and other legislation. These services are generally not
required to the same extent, if at all, for separate accounts. In addition
to the differences in services, the Trustees also considered, among other
things, the differences in product distribution, investment policies,
investor profiles and account sizes. Accordingly, the Trustees believe that
the nature and number of services provided to operate a Fund merit the
higher fees than those to separate managed accounts.
3. PROFITABILITY OF ADVISER
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Trustees also considered NAM's
profitability. The Trustees reviewed NAM's revenues, expenses and
profitability margins (on both a pre-tax and after-tax basis). In reviewing
profitability, the Trustees recognized that one of the most difficult
issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating
expenses. Accordingly, the Trustees reviewed NAM's assumptions and
methodology of allocating expenses. In this regard, the methods of
allocation used appeared reasonable but the Board noted the inherent
limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The
Trustees also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability
of other advisers is generally not publicly available. Further,
profitability may be affected by numerous factors including the types of
funds managed, expense allocations, business mix, etc. and therefore
comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the
extent available, the Trustees considered NAM's profit margin compared to
the profitability of various publicly-traded investment management
companies and/or investment management companies that publicly disclose
some or all of their financial results compiled by three independent
third-party service providers. The Trustees also reviewed the revenues,
expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated advisory firms with
similar amounts of assets under management for the last year prepared by
NAM. Based on their review, the Trustees were satisfied that NAM's level of
profitability from its relationship with each Fund was reasonable in light
of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Trustees also
considered any other revenues paid to NAM as well as any indirect benefits
(such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its affiliates are
expected to receive that are directly attributable to their management of
the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information. Based on
their review of the overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund, the
Trustees 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
In reviewing the compensation, the Trustees have long understood the benefits of
economies of scale as the assets of a fund grows and have sought to ensure that
shareholders share in these benefits. One method for shareholders to share in
economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that
reduce fees as fund assets grow. Accordingly, the Trustees received and reviewed
the schedules of advisory fees for each Fund, including fund-level breakpoints
thereto. In addition, after lengthy negotiations with management, the Board in
May, 2004 approved a complex-wide fee arrangement pursuant to which fees of the
funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds, are reduced as the assets in
the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee arrangement was
introduced on August 1, 2004 and the Trustees reviewed data regarding the
reductions of fees for the Funds for the period of August 1, 2004 to December
31, 2004. In evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Trustees
considered, among other things, the historic and expected fee savings to
shareholders as assets grow, the amount of fee reductions at various asset
levels, and that the arrangement would extend to all Funds in the Nuveen
complex. The Trustees also considered the impact, if any, the complex-wide fee
arrangement may have on the level of services provided. Based on their review,
the Trustees concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee
arrangement currently was acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from
economies of scale to shareholders.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or
profits NAM or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with
each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees considered any benefits from soft dollar
arrangements. The Trustees noted that although NAM manages a large amount of
assets, it has very little, if any, brokerage to allocate. This is due to the
fact that NAM
76
typically manages the portfolios of the municipal funds in the Nuveen complex
and municipal bonds generally trade on a principal basis. Accordingly, NAM does
not currently have any soft dollar arrangements and does not pay excess
brokerage commissions (or spreads on principal transactions) in order to receive
research services. In addition to soft dollar arrangements, the Trustees also
considered any other revenues, if any, received by NAM or its affiliates. With
respect to Funds with outstanding preferred shares and new Funds, the Trustees
considered revenues received by Nuveen for serving as agent for broker-dealers
at its preferred trading desk and for acting as co-manager in the initial public
offering of new closed-end exchange-traded funds.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Nuveen, until recently, was a majority-owned subsidiary of St. Paul Travelers.
As noted, St. Paul earlier this year announced its intention to divest its
equity stake in Nuveen. Nuveen is the parent of NAM. Pursuant to a series of
transactions, St. Paul has begun to reduce its interest in Nuveen which will
ultimately result in a change of control of Nuveen and therefore NAM. As
mandated by the 1940 Act, such a change in control would result in an assignment
of the advisory agreement with NAM and the automatic termination of such
agreement. Accordingly, the Board also considered for each Fund the approval of
a New Investment Management Agreement with each Fund in light of, and which
would take effect upon, the anticipated change of control. More specifically,
the Board considered for each Fund a New Investment Management Agreement on
substantially identical terms to the existing Investment Management Agreement,
to take effect after the change of control has occurred and the contract has
been approved by Fund shareholders. In its review, the Board considered whether
the various transactions necessary to divest St. Paul's interest will have an
impact on the various factors they considered in approving NAM, such as the
scope and quality of services to be provided following the change of control. In
reviewing the St. Paul transactions, the Board considered, among other things,
the impact, if any, on the operations and organizational structure of NAM; the
possible benefits and costs of the transactions to the respective Fund; the
potential implications of any arrangements used by Nuveen to finance certain of
the transactions; the ability of NAM to perform its duties after the
transactions; whether a Fund's fee structure or expense ratio would change; any
changes to the current practices of the respective Fund; any changes to the
terms of the advisory agreement; and any anticipated changes to the operations
of NAM. Based on its review, the Board determined that St. Paul's divestiture
would not affect the nature and quality of services provided by NAM, the terms
of the Investment Management Agreement, including the fees thereunder, and would
not materially affect the organization or operations of NAM. Accordingly, the
Board determined that their analysis of the various factors regarding their
approval of NAM would continue to apply after the change of control.
G. APPROVAL
The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of independent
Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements were
fair and reasonable, that the respective Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in
light of the services provided to each Fund, that the renewal of the NAM
Investment Management Agreements should be approved, and that the new,
post-change of control NAM Investment Management Agreements be approved and
recommended to shareholders.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET
UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest
dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset
value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends
and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally
be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on
dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of
the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase
price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting
in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been
paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable
brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan
participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on
individual transactions.
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

CEO CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE
Each Fund's Chief Executive Officer has submitted to the New York Stock Exchange
the annual CEO certification as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE
Listed Company Manual.
Each Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the
certification of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It
expresses the return 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 all the maturities of the bonds in a
Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the
security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not
account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions.
LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period over
which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a
measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes when
market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's duration,
the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.
Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund
and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's portfolio of bonds.
MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's
current annualized dividend divided by its current market price.
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing
the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at
the end of each business day.
TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to
equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For
engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the
Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services
that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services
that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation
S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services
provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services
other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all
such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the
services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit
services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly
brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate)
approves the services before the audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its
Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest
services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of
all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund
Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that

recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. For
engagements entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Audit Committee is
required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related
directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those
subject to the de minimis exception described above). The Audit Committee
requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit
services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to
the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered
this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

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

In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy
or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security,
the Adviser would either engage an independent third party to determine how the
proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the
instructions, of the Fund's Board of Directors or Trustees or its
representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy would be
submitted to the applicable Fund's Board to determine how the proxy should be
voted. A member of the Adviser's legal department would oversee the
administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in
accordance with Rule 204-2(c)(2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17
CFR 275.204-2(c)(2)), reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the
