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 income free from federal
and state income taxes, as well as with an attractive total return. For more
details about the management strategy and performance of your Fund, please see
the Portfolio Manager's Comments and Performance Overview sections of this
report.
Given the continued strength of the California economy, some market commentators
are speculating about whether longer-term interest rates will soon begin to rise
substantially, mirroring the rise that has taken place 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.
"IN FACT, A WELL-DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO MAY ACTUALLY HELP TO REDUCE YOUR OVERALL
INVESTMENT RISK OVER THE LONG TERM."
Nobody knows what the market will do in the future or what investments will turn
out to be tomorrow's best performers. 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 investment risk over the long term.
That is one reason why we believe that a municipal bond investment like your
Fund can be an important building block in a comprehensive investment program
designed to perform well in a variety of market conditions.
As an added convenience for you, 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.
Earlier in 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc., which owned 79% of
Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent of your Fund's investment adviser), sold a
substantial portion of its stake in Nuveen. More recently, St. Paul sold the
balance of its shares Nuveen Investments or to others. Please be assured that
these transactions only affect Nuveen's corporate structure, and they do not
have any impact on the investment objectives or management of your Fund.
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.

Portfolio Manager's
COMMENTS
Portfolio manager Scott Romans discusses the economic and municipal market
environments, key investment strategies, and the Funds' annual performance.
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
May 2005.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2005?
Between September 1, 2004 and August 31, 2005, the Federal Reserve implemented
eight separate one-quarter-point increases in the closely-watched fed funds
rate. These increases, which were aimed at controlling economic growth as well
as the pace of inflation, raised this short-term target rate to 3.50% from
1.50%. (On September 20, 2005, following the close of this reporting period, the
fed funds rate was increased by another 0.25% to 3.75%.) As the fed funds rate
rose during this reporting period, shorter-term municipal market interest rates
showed a corresponding increase.
At the same time, longer-term interest rates remained steady or slightly
declined over this 12-month period. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S.
Treasury note ended August 2005 at 4.02%, compared with 4.12% one year earlier.
In the municipal market, with the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index,
a widely followed measure of longer-term municipal market rates, declined by
approximately 25 basis points to 4.83% during this period. Together, the rise in
shorter-term rates and decline in longer rates produced an overall flattening of
the yield curve, which generally helped the performance of bonds with longer
effective maturities while hindering the total return of bonds with shorter
maturities or short call dates.
Despite a surge in energy prices over this reporting period, the ongoing
national economic expansion managed to maintain fairly solid footing. After
expanding at an annualized rate of 4.0% in the third quarter of 2004, the U.S.
gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 3.3% (annualized) in the fourth quarter of
2004, 3.8% (annualized) in the first three months of 2005 and 3.3% (annualized)
in the second quarter of 2005.
Over the 12 months ended August 31, 2005, municipal bond supply nationwide
remained strong, with $392.8 billion in new securities coming to market. A major
factor behind the increase in supply was the flatter yield curve, which made
advance refundings
4
economically attractive for many issuers. During January-August 2005, advance
refundings were 62% higher than during the same period in 2004, as issuers
sought to take advantage of the relatively low rates prevalent at the longer-end
of the yield curve. (Advance refundings, also called pre-refundings, occur when
an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to purchase U.S. Government
securities that are pledged to discharge the remaining principal and interest
payments of older, existing bonds. This process generally results in lower net
borrowing costs for bond issuers and higher credit quality for the older bonds
that are pre-refunded.)
HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA?
During this reporting period, California's economy experienced continued job
growth that outpaced the national rate. Gains in professional and business
services, construction, leisure and hospitality, education and health services
led the way, overshadowing small losses in the government sector and in natural
resources and mining. As of August 2005, California's unemployment rate was
5.2%, down from 6.1% in August 2004. The state's recent economic expansion has
led to strong growth in both personal and corporate income, which in turn
generated higher tax revenues. While this revenue increase helped California
reduce its budget deficit, the state continued to face a structural budget gap
estimated at $5 billion for fiscal 2006.
In July 2005, both Moody's and Fitch upgraded their ratings on California's
general obligation debt--to A2 from A3 and to A from A-, respectively. (Standard
and Poor's had upgraded its California GO rating to A from BBB in August 2004.)
In announcing the upgrades, both Moody's and Fitch cited the improvements in
revenue generation and the resolution of the state's liquidity problems
following California's issuance of economic recovery bonds in May 2004.
For the 12 months ended August 2005, municipal issuance in California totaled
$49.8 billion, a decrease of 15% from the previous 12 months. Despite the
decrease, California issuance continued to lead all states over this time
period.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE 12
MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2005?
One of our top priorities during this reporting period was careful duration
management. Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest
rates change, with longer
5
duration bonds being more sensitive to changes and thereby presenting greater
interest rate risk. Our duration management was tailored to meet the differing
needs of the insured and uninsured Funds, as well as the needs of the older
Funds that generally had more exposure to shorter duration bonds and the newer
funds that typically had more bonds with longer durations.
Duration management became increasingly important for the uninsured Funds (NCU,
NAC, NVX and NZH) during the first half of 2005, as the flattening yield curve
over this period resulted in a dramatic rise in advance refundings. (The yield
curve is said to flatten when shorter-term interest rates more closely approach
the levels of longer-term interest rates.)
Advance refundings of bonds held by the Funds generally had an immediate,
positive impact on their performances, as well as a shortening effect on the
Funds' durations. In order to maintain the Funds' durations within our preferred
strategic range, we sold some of our holdings with shorter durations, including
short-dated pre-refunded bonds, bonds that were currently callable, and bonds
priced to short calls, all of which tended to underperform in the interest rate
environment of the past 12 months. This was especially true for NAC, one of the
older Funds. The relatively newer NZH had fewer advance refundings and less need
to adjust its portfolio to offset them.
The proceeds from the sale of these holdings were then reinvested in longer
duration bonds, including zero coupon non-callable bonds, fixed-rate
non-callable bonds, and 25- to 30-year bonds with at least 8-10 years of call
protection. The longer durations of these bonds enabled us to counteract some of
the duration shortening caused by the advance refundings and also contributed to
the Funds' performance during this period. The purchase of these types of bonds
also allowed us to improve the Funds' call protection.
In the insured Funds (NPC, NCL, NKL and NKX), we began this 12-month period by
looking for value opportunities in insured, AAA rated bonds with about 20 years
to maturity. As the period progressed, we began to extend our time horizon to
the 30-year part of the yield curve in order to maintain the Funds' durations
within our targeted range. This approach applied particularly to NPC and NCL,
relatively older Funds that had shorter durations than the two newer Funds. As
examples, we purchased insured, AAA
6
rated bonds issued by Oakland Unified School District and insured, AAA rated
bonds issued by Riverside County for all four insured Funds. As with the
uninsured Funds, we sold pre-refunded bonds and other securities with short
durations to finance these longer duration purchases. During this period, we
also worked to enhance and diversify the call exposure of all of the insured
Funds by looking for bonds with at least 10 years of call protection.
In NKL and NKX, we continued to manage their durations through the use of
forward interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument. As
discussed in our last shareholder report, in late 2004 we began using these
swaps in an effort to reduce some of the interest rate risk in these two Funds.
It is important to note that these hedges did not represent an attempt to profit
from correctly predicting the timing and direction of interest rate movements.
Instead, our sole objective was to reduce the duration of these Funds without
having a negative impact on the Funds' 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 each hedge fluctuates. Over the course of this reporting
period, the hedges were effective in achieving their intended goal of helping to
reduce the NAV volatility of these Funds. However, they also had negative
impacts on each Fund's total return for the period because declining long-term
interest rates caused the value of the hedges to decline as the value of each
Fund's portfolio rose.
In the four uninsured Funds and in NKL and NKX, which are insured but can invest
up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities, we
also continued to emphasize maintaining some exposure to lower-rated credits.
Some of these securities were pre-refunded during this period, enabling us to
capture price gains. In addition, lower-rated bonds generally performed very
well during this period. However, given increased demand, we did not find many
attractive opportunities among lower rated securities during this period. One
example of a lower-rated credit that did meet our purchase criteria during this
period was a BBB+ rated issue by the California Statewide Community Development
Authority for the Daughters of Charity Health System, which was added to NAC,
NVX and NZH.

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2005, the total returns on NAV for all four
of the uninsured Funds exceeded the return on the Lehman Brothers California
Tax-Exempt Bond Index. NVX and NZH also outperformed the average return for the
Lipper California Fund peer group, while NCU and NAC trailed this measure. Among
the insured Funds, all four Funds outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers
Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index. All of the Funds trailed the average
return for the Lipper Insured California Fund peer group.

One of the primary factors benefiting the 12-month performance of these Funds
relative to that of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers indexes 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
can also provide opportunities for additional income and total return for common
shareholders when short-term interest rates remain relatively low and long-term
rates fall or remain relatively constant.
As noted earlier, the municipal market yield curve flattened over the course of
this 12-month period as longer-term interest rates declined as short-term rates
rose. Since falling bond yields mean rising bond prices, longer maturity bonds
generally performed better over this time than securities with shorter
maturities. Relatively greater exposure to the longer end of the yield curve
helped the performances of NVX and NZH during this period, while the
performances of NPC and NCL were hindered by their relatively greater exposure
to the shorter end of the yield curve. One of the intended results of the
duration management strategy discussed earlier is to more closely align the
yield curve positioning of all of these Funds in the future.
The uninsured Funds (NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH) as well as NKL and NKX, which can
invest up to 20% of their portfolios in uninsured bonds, also benefited from
their allocations of lower-quality bonds during this period, with bonds rated
BBB and lower and non-rated bonds generally outperforming other credit quality
sectors. Among the lower-rated bonds making significant contributions to these
six Funds' total returns for this period were bonds backed by the 1998 master
tobacco settlement agreement. Some of these California tobacco bonds posted
annual returns of more than 20% over this 12-month time horizon as the
litigation environment improved and increased demand drove tobacco bond prices
higher. As of August 31, 2005, tobacco bonds represented approximately 3% to 6%
of the portfolios of NCU, NAC, NVX and NZH. Bonds issued by Golden State Tobacco
Securitization Corporation, which made up approximately 2% of the portfolios of
NKL and NKX, were the top performing credits in both of these Funds for the
period. Neither NPC nor NCL held any uninsured tobacco bonds - another reason
for their relatively smaller total returns over this period.
9
Another factor affecting the Funds' performances during this period was the
amount and timing of advance refundings within their portfolios. Generally, a
bond that was advance refunded tended to benefit from an immediate price
increase as its credit quality was upgraded (because the bond is now backed by
U.S. Government securities). However, that same bond - now priced as a high
quality issue to a shorter final maturity - might then have underperformed lower
quality issues and issues with longer final maturities over the balance of the
reporting period. Therefore, the size of the holding, the credit quality benefit
caused by the pre-refunding and the amount of time remaining before the end of
the reporting period all had an impact on the overall performance of a
pre-refunded bond.
Generally, the older Funds experienced more advance refundings over this period
than the newer Funds, largely because of differences in the interest rate
environments at the times these Funds were initially introduced. Among the
insured Funds, approximately 12% of NCL's holdings and more than 9% of NPC were
pre-refunded as of August 31, 2005, while NKL and NKX had 5% and 2%,
respectively, of their portfolios advance refunded. Overall, bonds that were
pre-refunded during the period tended to help these Funds' total return over
this period. This was especially true of bonds issued by California Health
Facilities Financing Authority for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which were held
by NCU, NAC, NKL and NKX.
Conversely, significant holdings of bonds that had been pre-refunded/
escrowed-to-maturity in prior periods acted as a drag on the performance of NPC,
which held 30% of its portfolio in refunded bonds as of August 31, 2005. In
addition, NCU experienced calls on some of its higher-yielding multifamily
housing bonds, which impacted the income component of the Fund's total return.
10
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF
AUGUST 31, 2005?
We continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important
requirement. As of August 31, 2005, the four uninsured Funds continued to offer
excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed
and AA ranging from 65% in NZH, 66% in NAC and 70% in NVX and NCU. NPC and NCL
continued to be 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities,
while NKL and NKX, which can invest up to 20% of their assets in uninsured
investment-grade quality securities, had allocated 81% and 82% of their
portfolios, respectively, to insured bonds as of August 31, 2005.
On August 31, 2005, potential call exposure for the period from September 2005
through the end of 2006 ranged from 0%in NZH and NKL to 3% in NAC, 4% in NVX and
NKX, 8% in NCU, 11% in NPC and 16% in NCL. The number of actual bond calls in
all of these Funds depends largely on future market interest rates.
11
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
Each of the Funds in this report uses 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 their 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 over this
12-month period, the extent of these benefits was reduced. In addition, older
Funds such as NPC, NCL and NCU had a greater number of older, higher-yielding
bonds that matured or were called during this period, and the proceeds from
these bonds were reinvested in the current lower-yield environment, thereby
reducing their income streams. The decline in interest rates at the longer end
of the yield curve during this period also had an impact on the newest Funds
such as NKL and NKX, which had fewer opportunities to build reserves. These
factors combined to produce one monthly dividend reduction in NPC, NCU and NKL,
two in NCL, and three in NKX over the 12-month period ended August 31, 2005. The
dividends of NAC, NVX and NZH remained stable throughout this reporting period.
In addition, due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the
following Funds received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at
the end of December 2004 as follows:
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME
(PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NPC $0.1157 $0.0557
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAC $0.0464 $ --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NKL $0.0426 $0.0072
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12
The relatively large distributions from NPC represented an important part of
this Fund's total return for this period. For the most part, this distribution
was generated by bond calls or by sales of appreciated securities. The proceeds
of these calls or sales then were reinvested in bonds paying lower, current
interest rates. This had a slight negative impact on the Fund's earning power
and was a minor factor in the dividend reduction noted above.
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, 2005, all of
the Funds in this report except NKX had positive UNII balances for both
financial statement and tax purposes. NKX had a positive UNII balance for tax
purposes and a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes.
At the end of the reporting period, the Funds' share prices were trading at
premiums or discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:

California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund as of August 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 August 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers or 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 positions of
Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured
California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc., Nuveen California Premium
Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund,

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The California funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their
corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California
Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium
Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal
Fund (NCU), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen
California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund (NKL) and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal
Fund (NKX). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured
California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of California Premium
Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend
Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured
California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the American Stock Exchange.
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within the state of California or
certain U.S. territories.
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
Adviser 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 Directors/Trustees. When
market 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 Directors/Trustees. If the
pricing service is unable to supply a price for a municipal bond or derivative
investment, each Fund may use a market price or fair market value quote provided
by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that the
market price or fair market value for an investment are unavailable or
inappropriate, the Board of Directors/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.
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 or 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 and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At August 31, 2005,
Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2
(NCL), California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage (NAC),
California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH),
Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) had outstanding when-issued purchase commitments of $114,771,
$229,541, $5,418,937, $427,782, $266,059, $438,215, $281,710 and $104,337,
respectively.
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
69
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California
Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals,
to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds.
All monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended August
31, 2005, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital
gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal
taxation.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually.
Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one 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.
The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each
Fund is as follows:

Insurance
Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2
(NCL) invest only in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance
or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely
payment of principal and interest.
Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered by
insurance. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net
assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are
either (i) backed by an
70
escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
securities, or (ii) rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest
grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to
be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds
ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the
market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net
asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds
the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security
covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.
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
accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the "effective
date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of
the forward swap contract, and would increase or decrease in value based
primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a
maturity of the swaps' termination date were to increase or decrease. 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
ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying
assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund
intends, but is not obligated to, terminate its forward swaps before the
effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap
counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with
a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the
Fund upon termination. To 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 predetermined 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, its 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. 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.

Post-October losses of $259,334 were treated as having arisen on the first day
of the following fiscal year.
5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
74
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:
INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPC)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME 2 (NCL)

For net assets over $2 billion .3750
================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As
of August 31, 2005, the complex-level fee rate was .1896%.

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.
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 their 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.

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. Transactions (C) and (D) above were settled in late July,
which effectively reduced St. Paul Travelers' controlling stake in Nuveen and
was deemed an "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment
management agreements between the Funds and the Adviser, which resulted in the
automatic termination of each agreement under the 1940 Act. In anticipation of
such deemed assignment, the Board of Directors/Trustees had approved new ongoing
investment management agreements for each Fund and the submission of those
agreements for approval by each respective Fund's shareholders, which
shareholder approval was received prior to the settlement of transactions (C)
and (D). The new ongoing management agreements took effect upon such settlement.

ANNUAL INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS
At a meeting held on May 10-12, 2005, the Board of Trustees of the Funds,
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 management 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, such as the 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:
86
preparing shareholder reports; providing daily accounting; providing 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 (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 reimbursements
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 and Whether Fee Levels Reflect these 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.
87
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
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 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 grow 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.
88
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 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
Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). 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 had begun to reduce its interest
in Nuveen which would 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

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.

Other Useful
INFORMATION
In April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. (``St. Paul Travelers'')
sold the majority of its controlling equity interest in Nuveen Investments, Inc.
(``Nuveen'') to the general public. Nuveen is the parent of Nuveen Asset
Management ("NAM"), which is each Fund's investment manager. This sale was
deemed to be an "assignment" of the investment management agreement between each
Fund and NAM and, if applicable, of the sub-advisory agreement between NAM and
the Fund's sub-adviser. As required by law, the shareholders of each Fund were
asked to approve a new investment management agreement and, if applicable, a new
subadvisory agreement that reflected this change in ownership. The shareholders
of each Fund voted this approval at a Shareholders' Meeting on July 26. 2005.
There were no changes to the investment objectives or management of any Fund as
a result of these actions.
QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS AND PROXY VOTING INFORMATION
Each Fund's (i) quarterly portfolio of investments, (ii) information regarding
how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the
12-month period ended June 30, 2005, and (iii) a description of the policies and
procedures that the Funds used to determine how to vote proxies relating to
portfolio securities are available without charge, upon request, by calling
Nuveen Investments toll-free at (800) 257-8787 or on Nuveen's website at

and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The SEC may charge a copying fee for this

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 Insured California Tax-Free 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).

ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS
The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to

during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval

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

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.

Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy
or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security,
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

to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
