(NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL, NKX)


Portfolio Managers'
        PERSPECTIVE



Portfolio managers Dan Solender and Scott Romans discuss the market environment,
key investment strategies, and the annual performance of these eight Nuveen
California Funds. With twelve years of investment experience, including eight at
Nuveen, Dan assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPC and NCL in May
2004. Scott, who joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and
NKX since January 2003

WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004?

Over the entire 12 months, the U.S. economy demonstrated evidence of improvement
in a number of key areas, although the recovery slowed somewhat in the last five
months of the period. After surging at the fastest pace in almost 20 years (7.4%
annualized) during the third quarter of 2003, the U.S. gross domestic product
(GDP) expanded at annualized rates of 4.2% in the fourth quarter of 2003 and
4.5% in the first quarter of 2004. However, during the second quarter of 2004
rising energy prices restrained consumer spending, which in turn impacted
economic momentum and GDP growth in the second quarter moderated to 3.3%
annualized.

Higher energy costs also fueled increased worries about the future rate of
inflation. While rises in consumer prices were relatively tame over this fiscal
year, the annualized rise of 3.7% in the Consumer Price Index for the eight
months ended August 2004 was running well ahead of the 1.9% increase for all of
2003. During the second quarter of 2004 in particular, inflation concerns,
combined with the general pace of economic recovery and continued geopolitical
uncertainty, caused heightened volatility in the longer-term fixed-income
markets.

This volatility can be seen in the yield of the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond
Index, a widely followed long-term municipal bond index, over the course of this
fiscal year (September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2004). At the start of the
period, the index yield was 5.41%, still close to its mid-August 2003 peak of
5.50%. From there, the yield dropped steadily over the next seven months to
4.73% by mid-March 2004. As investors increasingly anticipated action by the
Federal Reserve in response to a series of improved employment reports, the
index yield began to climb again, rising more than 80 basis points over the next
12 weeks to 5.45%, before retreating to end August 2004 at 5.13%.


                                       4



Between June and August 2004, the Fed moved twice to increase the short-term fed
funds rate by a total of 50 basis points in an attempt to promote a sustainable
economic recovery without increasing inflationary pressures. (On September 21,
following the close of this reporting period, the Fed added another 25 basis
points to its fed funds target rate, bringing it to 1.75%.) Historically,
longer-term interest rates often have moved in the same direction when the Fed
has adjusted short-term rates up or down.

Municipal supply nationwide continued to be relatively strong over the entire
12-month reporting period, with $369.5 billion in new bonds coming to market.
Looking just at 2004, new issue supply reached $241 billion for the first eight
months a decrease of 5% from January-August 2003's record $254 billion.

HOW ABOUT MARKET AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA?

The biggest story in California over this 12-month period was voters' approval
of $15 billion in economic recovery bonds (ERBs) in March 2004 and the state's
subsequent issuance of $11 billion of ERBs in May and June. This essentially
resolved the cash flow crisis that was facing California on June 30 when the
state's fiscal year ended. While many observers believe work remains to address
the state's longer-term deficit problems, the ERBs improved the state's balance
sheet liquidity and, combined with California's steadily recovering economy, led
all three major credit rating agencies to upgrade the state's $33 billion of
outstanding general obligation debt. In May 2004, Moody's revised its rating of
California GOs to A3 from Baa1, followed in August 2004 by Standard & Poor's
upgrade to A from BBB. S&P also removed California from its credit watch. (On
September 7, following the end of this reporting period, Fitch moved its rating
for California to A- from BBB.)

During the 12-month reporting period ended August 2004, issuers in California
sold $58.6 billion in new municipal bonds, down 8% from the previous 12-month
period. For the first eight months of 2004, supply was slightly more plentiful,
due in part to the ERBs, with issuance totaling $42.7 billion, on par with
January-August 2003 levels.

On July 31, 2004, the state enacted its $105 billion fiscal 2005 budget, closing
a $14 billion structural gap through a combination of expenditure cuts,
borrowing and fund transfers, but no new tax increases. While we believe this
represents meaningful


                                       5



progress toward fiscal balance in California, the potential still exists for
smaller, but significant, deficits to re-emerge in fiscal 2006 and 2007 if no
further action is taken by that time. This is partially the result of budget
compromises--which offered future concessions for current spending
cuts--negotiated with various constituents, including education groups, unions
representing state workers, and Native Americans. These deals could limit the
state's ability to address future gaps. On a positive note, in July 2004, the
state controller's office reported that fiscal 2004 general fund revenues
totaled $75.5 billion, an increase of 10% from fiscal 2003, and current economic
data suggest that revenue growth assumptions in the 2005 budget are reasonable.

California continued to benefit from the stability provided by a diverse state
economy. Overall, the general economic downturn of the past several years has
had a limited impact, despite severe weakness in the Silicon Valley area which
skewed economic and job performance statistics for the entire state. Recent
indicators suggest that the employment picture in Silicon Valley is stabilizing,
while the jobless rate in California as a whole dropped to 5.8% in August 2004,
compared with 6.8% in August 2003. The national average in August 2004 was 5.4%.
Personal income growth in California consistently has outpaced the national
average over the past two years, which benefits the state budget since personal
income taxes represent approximately 50% of the state's general fund revenues.
California's housing market also continued to be very strong, both in the Bay
area and Southern California, with tight inventories of homes for sale and
foreclosure rates at the lowest level in 10 years.

IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE NUVEEN
CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2004?

As the market continued to anticipate increased interest rates, our major focus
during this reporting period remained on efforts to find bonds that we thought
represented good value or that we judged would have attractive total return
potential under a variety of market scenarios. With the yield curve relatively
steep during this period, our purchase activity focused on finding attractive
securities in the long-intermediate part of the curve (i.e., bonds that mature
in 15 to 20 years). In many cases, these bonds offered yields similar to those
of longer-term bonds with less inherent interest rate risk and greater


                                       6



total return prospects. We believe this yield curve positioning also may help
the Funds produce more consistent returns over time as interest rates rise and
fall.

Much of the municipal bond issuance in California during this fiscal year period
came from the general tax obligation sector (GOs), and we increased each Fund's
allocation to this sector, except NZH where we maintained our exposure at August
2003 levels. In NPC and NCL, our purchases in this sector included several
insured school district GOs with premium coupons that we believed could help to
mitigate the effects on the Funds' price and NAV performance if interest rates
continued to rise. In NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX, we bought and
occasionally sold California GOs in an attempt to take advantage of general
market moves. As the credit ratings on noninsured California GOs were upgraded
in recent months, their prices improved and this helped the performance of these
six Funds.

We also found several opportunities in NAC, NVX and NZH to increase our
weightings in nonrated land-secured securities, an area we research very
carefully. This past fiscal year saw a sizable number of small, attractively
priced land-secured deals come market, and we focused in particular on
purchasing bonds with relatively higher coupons. In cases where our research
showed the likelihood of strengthening credit situations, we were willing to buy
bonds out further on the yield curve than our targeted range, as we believed
these bonds might increase in value if their issuing entities received ratings
upgrades.

Some of these purchases were financed through the sale of lower-yielding bonds
and bonds with relatively short call dates. In addition, we diversified credit
risk at the issuer level by reducing concentrated positions in certain
lower-rated and non-rated holdings in NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX. Since
lower-rated bonds generally performed well over the 12 month period, we
considered it a good time to take advantage of opportunities to sell these bonds
at what we thought were very attractive prices. However, we were careful to
balance these efforts against the goal of building and maintaining the Funds'
income streams. Even as we sold some BBB rated bonds, we continued to add other
BBB and sub-investment grade securities to the portfolios.

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2004, the annual total returns on net asset
value (NAV) for all four noninsured Funds outperformed the return on the Lehman
Brothers CA Tax-Exempt Bond Index. All of these Funds also surpassed the average
return for their Lipper California peer group for this period. Among the insured
Funds, the total returns on NAV for all four Funds outperformed the Lehman
Brothers Insured CA Tax-Exempt Bond Index. NPC, NKL and NKX also performed
better than their insured Lipper peer group, while NCL's return trailed this
measure.

1 The Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged,
  unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade California
  municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses.

2 The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated
  using the returns of all leveraged and unleveraged closed-end exchange-traded
  funds in this category for each period as follows: 1 year, 30 funds; 5 years,
  19 funds; and 10 years, 17 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment
  of dividends.

3 The Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an
  unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of insured California
  municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses.

4 The Lipper Insured California Municipal Debt Funds category average is
  calculated using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in this
  category for each period as follows: 1 year, 13 funds; 5 years, 7 funds; and
  10 years, 6 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.


                                       8



One of the primary factors benefiting the 12-month performance of each of these
Funds relative to that of the unleveraged Lehman indexes was their use of
financial leverage. While leveraging can add volatility to the Funds' NAVs and
share prices, especially when substantial shifts in interest rates occur, this
strategy also can provide opportunities for additional income and total return
for common shareholders when short-term interest rates remain low and long-term
rates are relatively steady or falling.

While no single factor explains all of the differences in the Funds'
performances relative to each other, several Funds did benefit more than others
from their duration, sector or credit quality positioning over this period. For
example, the performance of NZH was helped by the fact that it is the newest of
the four uninsured Funds and, consequently, had a substantially lower exposure
to shorter-duration bonds than the other three uninsured Funds over the 12
months - a time when shorter-duration bonds tended to underperform
longer-duration bonds. NCU did well because of its relatively large sector
allocations to bonds backed by revenues from the 1998 master tobacco settlement
agreement and to unenhanced state general obligation bonds. Both of these
sectors were among the strongest performers for the Fund.

Relative to the other uninsured Funds, NAC had a higher weighting in bonds with
shorter durations, and this hurt the Fund relative to the three other uninsured
Funds. NAC also had a more modest exposure to tobacco settlement bonds, which
also affected its relative performance. NVX had a relatively lower exposure to
state general obligation bonds and a relatively higher weighting in multifamily
housing bonds, which generally were weaker performers over the period. The
returns of NAC, NVX and NZH were also boosted by the strong performance of their
nonrated land-secured holdings.

Looking at the four insured Funds, NKX and NKL were helped by the fact that they
can maintain an exposure of up to 20% in non-insured bond, because lower-rated
bonds tended to significantly outperform AAA-rated insured bonds over this
fiscal year period. In addition, NCL had a number of housing bond calls, which
slightly impacted its performance.

HOW ABOUT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES?

With short-term interest rates remaining at or near historically low levels
throughout this reporting period, the leveraged structures of these eight Funds
continued to support their dividend-paying capabilities. The extent of this
benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their
MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. (The Fund's leverage themselves by issuing
MuniPreferred shares, which pay dividends based on current short-term notes and
do not bear the risk of principal loss or gain.) During periods of low
short-term rates, the Funds generally pay relatively lower dividends to their
MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common
share dividends. During this reporting period, this strategy enabled us to
increase the dividends of NPC and NAC, while helping to maintain the dividends
of NCL, NCU, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX throughout the period.

All of these Funds 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, 2004, all of the Funds in this
report had positive UNII balances except NKX, which had a negative UNII balance.

As of August 31, 2004, NCL was trading at a slight premium to its net asset
value, while the other seven Funds were trading at share prices below their
NAVs. In each case, the Funds were trading roughly in line with their average
discount across the entire 12-month period.

HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF
AUGUST 31, 2004?

Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, we continued to believe
that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of
August 31, 2004, the four uninsured Funds continued to offer excellent credit
quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from
70% in NVX to 67% in NCU, 63% in


                                       10



NZH and 62% in NAC. NPC and NCL continued to be 100% invested in insured and/or
U.S. guaranteed securities. NKL and NKX, which are allowed to invest up to 20%
in uninsured investment-grade quality securities, held 80% and 82% of their
portfolios, respectively, in insured bonds as of August 31, 2004.

At the end of August 2004, potential call exposure for these Funds during
2004-2005 ranged from 17% in NCU, 7% in NCL, 5% in NPC, 2% in NZH and NAC, 1% in
NVX, and 0% in NKL and NKX. For all of the Funds, the number of actual bond
calls depends largely on market interest rates.

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.

Prior to the commencement of operations of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage
(NKX), the Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational
matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Advisory Corp.
(the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc., and the
recording of the organization expenses ($11,500) and its reimbursement by Nuveen
Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc.

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.

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.

Securities 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
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. If it is
determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate,
the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a
fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have
variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to
market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At August 31, 2004,
Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2
(NCL), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), and California Dividend Advantage
3 (NZH) had outstanding when-issued purchase commitments of $1,285,608,
$2,090,420, $2,796,034 and $2,106,240, respectively. There were no such
outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.

Investment Income

Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.


                                       60



Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute 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. All monthly tax-exempt
income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, have been
designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains and ordinary
income distributions made 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 $25,000 stated value Preferred shares as a
means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued
in one or more Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven
days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is
payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares
outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows:

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

Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) issued the Preferred shares listed
above on January 17, 2003.

Insurance

Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2
(NCL) invest 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
applicable 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 applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either
(i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities, or (ii) municipal bonds that are rated, at the
time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by
Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the
Adviser.

                                       61



Notes to
    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



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 earnings. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's
agreement with the counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed rate payment in
exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment. The
amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional or nominal amount of
the forward swap contract. The Funds may close out a contract prior to the
effective date. When a forward swap is terminated, it does not involve the
delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is
settled in cash. The fund intends to, 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 minimize
such credit risk, all counterparties are required to segregate 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. Reciprocally, when any
of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have
instructed the custodian to segregate assets of the Funds as collateral with a
value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. The Funds help
reduce the credit risks associated with forward swap transactions by entering
into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the
financial stability of the swap counterparties.

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.

Offering Costs

Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all Common share offering costs (other
than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Insured California
Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX).
Insured California Dividend Advantage's (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) share of Common share offering costs ($449,461 and $176,250,
respectively) were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of
Common shares.

Costs incurred by Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured
California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) in connection with their offering of
Preferred shares ($1,372,225 and $1,044,953, respectively) were recorded as a
reduction to paid-in surplus.

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.

Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) elected to defer net realized losses
from investments incurred from November 1, 2003 through August 31, 2004
("post-October") losses in accordance with Federal income tax regulations.
Post-October losses of $59,857 were treated as having arisen on the first day of
the following fiscal year.

5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

As approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, effective August 1, 2004, a
complex-wide management fee structure was adopted for all funds sponsored by
Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. and its affiliates. This fee structure separates each fund's
management fee into two components - a complex-level component, based on the
aggregate amount of all funds assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates,
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 and its
affiliates. Under no circumstances will this pricing structure result in a fund
paying management fees at a rate higher than would otherwise have been
applicable had the complex-wide management fee structure not been implemented.
As a consequence of this new management fee structure, the funds' effective
management fees were reduced by approximately .006% as of September 30, 2004.

Effective August 1, 2004, the annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each
of the Funds is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:

Effective August 1, 2004, the annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which
is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S.,
is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as follows:

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

(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
    calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
    the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
    all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in
    the U.S.

(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee
    rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later
    date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91
    billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to
    be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee
    rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as
    a different rate or rates is determined.

Each Fund paid through July 31, 2004, an annual management fee, payable monthly,
at the rates set forth below, which were based upon the average daily net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:

Notes to
    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)



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
expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

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
the dividends or distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price
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.

For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in
or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800)
257-8787.

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 sensitivity of a bond
or bond fund's value to changes when interest rates change. Generally, the
longer a bond 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 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted
a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, 
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or 
persons performing similar functions. The registrant has posted such code of 
ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf.

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The registrant's board of directors determined that the registrant had at least
one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR)
serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial
expert was William E. Bennett, who was "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of
Form N-CSR.

Although Mr. Bennett served as the audit committee financial expert during the
reporting period, he unexpectedly resigned from the Board effective April 30,
2004. Since that time, the Audit Committee determined that Jack B. Evans, the
Chairman of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert and recommended to the full Board that he be designated as such. On July
26, 2004, the full Board voted to so designate Mr. Evans. Accordingly for this
reporting period, the registrant did not have a designated "audit committee
financial expert" from April 30, 2004 to July 26, 2004. Mr. Evans, who is
independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR, served as the registrant's
audit committee financial expert from July 26, 2004 to the end of the reporting
period on August 31, 2004

Mr. Bennett was formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of
First Chicago Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The First National Bank
of Chicago. As part of his role as Chief Credit Officer, Mr. Bennett set policy
as to accrual of assets/loans; designated performing/non-performing assets; set
the level of reserves against the credit portfolo; and determined the carrying
value of credit related assets and exposure. Among other things, Mr. Bennett was
also responsible for the oversight of the internal analysis function including
setting ground rules for the review and preparation of financial analysis and
financial statements for use in making credit and risk decisions for clients.
Mr. Bennett has significant experience reviewing, analyzing and evaluating
financial statements of domestic and international companies in a variety of
industries with complex accounting issues.

Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Office of SCI Financial
Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment
adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer,
Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and
actively supervised the CFO's preparation of financial statements and other
filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was
actively involved in the preparation of SCI's financial statements and the
resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served
on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr.
Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation
of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

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 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).

The above "Tax Fees" were billed for professional services for tax advice, tax
compliance and tax planning.

                 SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE
                  ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to
Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with NAC ("Control Affiliate") that
provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for
engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting,
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.

The table also shows the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval
exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest
services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of
all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund
Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that
would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (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 Fund's audit is
completed.

                               NON-AUDIT SERVICES

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

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
results were provided to the Board of Directors or Trustees and made available
to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
