Portfolio Manager's
COMMENTS
Portfolio manager Scott Romans reviews key investment strategies and the
semiannual performance of these eight California Funds. 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 KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2006?
During this reporting period, we saw a general increase in interest rates across
the yield curve, with short-term rates rising faster than longer-term rates.
Between September 1, 2005, and February 28, 2006, the Federal Reserve
implemented four increases of 0.25% each in the fed funds rate, raising this
short-term target by 100 basis points. In contrast, the yield on the benchmark
10-year U.S. Treasury note ended February 2006 at 4.55%, up from 4.02% six
months earlier, while the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a
widely followed measure of longer-term municipal market rates, was 5.04% at the
end of February 2006, an increase of 17 basis points from the end of August
2005. As interest rates increased, bond valuations generally declined, and the
yield curve flattened as shorter-term rates approached the levels of longer-term
rates.
In this environment, one of our key strategies continued to be careful duration1
management. As the yield curve flattened, we continued to see a substantial
number of advance refundings2 in the California market. While these refundings
benefited the Funds' performance to a certain extent during this period, they
also had a shortening effect on the Funds' durations. To help us maintain these
durations within our preferred strategic range, our purchase activity focused
mainly on attractively priced bonds with longer durations, that is, bonds
maturing in 25 to 30 years. In the current rate environment, we believe that
bonds in this part of the yield curve generally offer more attractive
opportunities and the best values.
In looking for potential purchase candidates, we kept an opportunistic eye
toward all types of issuance that we believed could add value to the Funds'
portfolios, balancing the goal of performance potential with the need to support
the Funds' income streams. Overall, portfolio activity was relatively light, due
in part to the decline in California municipal supply during this six-month
period. This was especially true during the first
1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
2 Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower net borrowing costs for bond issuers.
4
two months of 2006, when new issuance in the state dropped 27% from levels seen
in early 2005. While we continued to emphasize maintaining weightings of bonds
rated BBB or lower and nonrated bonds in the four noninsured Funds and NKL and
NKX (which can invest up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade
quality securities), tighter supply meant fewer opportunities to find
lower-rated issues that we believed represented value for shareholders.
Therefore, the majority of our new purchases for these six Funds were
higher-rated credits, while NPC and NCL continued to invest in insured and/or
U.S. guaranteed securities.
One area where we did find opportunities to purchase lower-rated bonds was the
tobacco sector. In NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH, we replaced some pre-refunded issues
with BBB rated tobacco bonds issued by Sonoma County. This helped us maintain
the tobacco allocations of these four Funds at preferred levels. Although the
Sonoma County tobacco bonds had lower coupons and shorter maturities than we had
strategically targeted for these Funds during this period, we believed that this
was offset by the attractive structures and return potential offered by these
credits.
In NKL and NKX, our duration management strategies also included the use of
forward interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument. As
discussed in our last shareholder report, we began using these swaps in late
2004 in an effort to reduce the interest rate risk of these two Funds. These
hedges were not an attempt to profit from correctly predicting the timing and
direction of interest rate movements. Instead, our sole objective was to reduce
the Funds' durations (and resulting pricing sensitivity) without having a
negative impact on their income streams or common share dividends over the short
term. During this reporting period, the hedges performed as expected and had a
positive impact on the performances of NKL and NKX. As long-term interest rates
rose, the value of the hedges increased while the valuation of the Funds'
holdings generally declined. We believe this hedging strategy was effective in
achieving the intended goal of helping to reduce the net asset value (NAV)
volatility of these Funds, and in February 2006, we removed the hedges.
5
As part of our duration management strategies during this period, we were also
selectively selling holdings with shorter durations, including bonds with very
short maturities, bonds priced to short calls, and pre-refunded bonds. The
proceeds from these sales, as well as proceeds from any calls, were then
generally reinvested in the 25- to 30-year part of the yield curve as attractive
opportunities arose.

for each period as follows: 6 months, 13; 1 year, 13; 5 years, 8; and 10
years, 6. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.
6
For the six months ended February 28, 2006, the cumulative returns on NAV for
NAC, NVX, and NZH exceeded the return on their Lehman Brothers California
municipal benchmark, while NCU trailed this measure. NZH performed relatively in
line with the average return for the Lipper California peer group, while the
other three noninsured Funds underperformed this average. Among the insured
Funds, the returns on NAV for NKL and NKX outperformed the return on the Lehman
Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, while NPC and NCL lagged the
index return for the six month reporting period. NKL and NKX also performed in
line with the average return for the Lipper Insured California peer group, while
NPC and NCL trailed the group average.
During this reporting period, positive contributors to the Funds' returns
included allocations to lower-rated credits (in the four noninsured Funds, as
well as NKL, and NKX), yield curve and duration positioning, and--to a more
limited extent-- pre-refunding activity. As mentioned earlier, the hedging
strategies we employed in NKL and NKX also had a positive impact on the
performance of these two Funds for the period.
With bonds rated BBB or lower and nonrated generally outperforming other credit
quality sectors during this period, allocations to these lower-quality credits
were a major driver of performance among the six Funds that invest in noninsured
bonds. At the same time, the performances of NPC and NCL were hampered by the
fact that, as insured Funds, they could not hold any of these lower rated
credits. The performance of the lower- credit quality issues during this period
was largely the result of investor demand for the higher yields typically
associated with these bonds, which drove up their value. As of February 28,
2006, bonds rated BBB or lower and nonrated bonds accounted for 16% to 17% of
the portfolios of the noninsured Funds, while NKL and NKX each had an allocation
of approximately 6% to bonds rated BBB. Among the lower-rated bonds making
positive contributions to the Funds' cumulative returns for this period were
healthcare (including hospitals and long-term care), housing, and tobacco
credits. At period end, the six noninsured Funds held between 2% and 4% of their
portfolios in unenhanced tobacco bonds.
7
As the yield curve continued to flatten over the course of this period, yield
curve and duration positioning also played important roles in the Funds'
performances. On the whole, bonds priced to intermediate calls (i.e., between
2009 and 2012, the part of the curve that experienced the greatest rate changes)
were the most impacted by the changes in the yield curve. As a result, these
bonds generally underperformed those priced to very short calls (i.e., 2006) and
longer calls (i.e., 2014 and beyond). Yield curve positioning or, more
specifically, greater exposure to those parts of the yield curve that performed
well helped the performance of these Funds during this period.
As mentioned earlier, we also continued to see a substantial number of
refinancings during this period, which benefited the Funds through price
appreciation and enhanced credit quality. The impact of a bond's price
appreciation on the Fund's total return is determined by the structure of the
bond being refinanced. For example, the advance refunding of a bond with a 7%
coupon produces greater price appreciation, and therefore greater positive
impact on total return, than the refunding of a 5% coupon bond. As the yield
curve flattened, we saw more lower coupon bonds being pre-refunded, which meant
that the positive impact of price appreciation from advance refundings was less
than in the previous reporting period. In addition, the new bonds that were
issued to replace those that were pre-refunded were now higher-quality
securities with new maturities and call dates, some of which fell into that part
of the yield curve that underperformed during this period. As a result, while
the Funds benefited immediately from the initial price appreciation associated
with advance refundings, some of their pre-refunded holdings subsequently did
not perform well.
Additionally, the rising interest rate environment of this six-month period
generally meant that the Funds' holdings of older pre-refunded bonds tended to
underperform the general municipal market, due primarily to the shorter
effective maturities of these bonds. This was especially true in NPC, which held
approximately 30% of its portfolio in older pre-refunded bonds as of February
28, 2006. In addition to the factors mentioned above, security-specific
issues--including the timing, size, and degree of credit quality enhancement of
advance refundings--also accounted for some of the performance differential
among these Funds. For example, the difference in exposure to bonds that were
newly advance refunded during this period (5.2% in NCL versus 1.5% in NPC)
explained much of the difference in performance between these two Funds.
8
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF
FEBRUARY 28, 2006?
We continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important
requirement. As of February 28, 2006, the four noninsured Funds continued to
offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S.
guaranteed and AA ranging from 70% in NCU and NZH and 70% in NAC to 73% in NVX.
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 each allocated 84% of their
portfolios to insured bonds.
As of February 28, 2006, potential call exposure for the period March 2006
through the end of 2007 ranged from zero in NKL, 1% in NAC, 2% in NVX, 3% in
NZH, and 4% in NKX to 10% in NCU, 12% in NPC, and 16% in NCL. We continued to
work to manage the call structure of these Funds, especially older Funds such as
NPC, NCL, and NCU. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends
largely on future market interest rates.

Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
All of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially enhance
opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. The extent of this
benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates these leveraged 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, impacting the Funds' expenses, income streams,
and total returns. While leveraging still provided benefits for common
shareholders, the extent of these benefits was reduced. The Funds' income
streams were also impacted as the proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds
that matured or were called were reinvested into bonds generally offering lower
yields. While the dividends of all eight Funds remained stable throughout the
six-month reporting period ended February 28, 2006, NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, and
NZH announced monthly dividend reductions on March 1, 2006.
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 2005 as follows:
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME
(PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NPC $0.1367 $0.0109
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NCU $0.0122 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAC $0.0334 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 February 28, 2006, all of
the Funds in this report, except NKX, had positive UNII balances for financial
statement purposes and positive UNII balances, based on our best estimate, for
tax purposes. NKX
10
had a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes and a positive UNII
balance, based on our best estimate, for tax 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:

Government agency securities (also ensuring the timely
payment of principal and interest), or (ii) rated, at the
time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or
BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but

Government agency securities (also ensuring the timely
payment of principal and interest), or (ii) rated, at the
time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or
BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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.
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 February 28, 2006,
there were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all 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 California state
income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the
alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt
status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains
and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal
taxation.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (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 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 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
70
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 are authorized to 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. At February 28, 2006, the Funds did not have any forward swap contracts
outstanding.
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 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.

Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) elected to defer net realized losses
from investments incurred from November 1, 2004 through August 31, 2005
("post-October losses") in accordance with Federal income tax regulations.
Post-October losses of $259,334 were treated as having arisen on the first day
of the current 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 Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc., 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.
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)

================================================================================

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 February 28, 2006, the complex-level fee rate was .1886%.
COMPLEX-LEVEL
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $55 billion .2000%

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.
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.
For the first ten years of California Dividend Advantage's (NAC) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and

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 EXCHANGE-TRADED CLOSED-END FUNDS
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest
dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
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.

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 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
During this reporting period, the registrant's Board of Trustees implemented a
change to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the
registrant's board of trustees by amending the registrant's by-laws to include a
provision specifying the date by which shareholder nominations for election as
trustee at a subsequent meeting must be submitted to the registrant.
Shareholders must deliver or mail notice to the registrant not less than
forty-five days nor more than sixty days prior to the first anniversary date of
the date on which the registrant first mailed its proxy materials for the prior
year's annual meeting; provided, however, if an only if the annual meeting is
not scheduled to be held within a period that commences thirty days before the
first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year and ends
thirty days after such anniversary date (an annual meeting date outside such
period being referred to as an "Other Annual Meeting Date" hereafter), the
shareholder notice must be given no later than the close of business on the date
forty-five days prior to such Other Annual Meeting Date or the tenth business
day following the date such Other Annual Meeting Date is first publicly
announced or disclosed. The shareholder's notice must be in writing and set
forth the name, age, date of birth, business address, residence address and
nationality of the person(s) being nominated and the class or series, number of
all shares of the registrant owned of record or beneficially be each such
person(s), any other information regarding such person required by Item 401 of
Regulation S-K or Item 22 of Rule 14a-101 (Schedule 14A) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any other information regarding the person(s)
to be nominated that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or
other filings required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for
election of trustees, and whether such shareholder believes any nominee is or
will be an "interested person" (as that term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the registrant or sufficient information to
enable the registrant to make that determination and the written and signed
consent of the person(s) to be nominated.
ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act") (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within
90 days of the filing date of this report that includes the disclosure
required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of the controls
