Portfolio managers Cathryn Steeves and Scott Romans review national and state
economic and municipal market environments, key investment strategies, and the
annual performance of these eight Nuveen Funds. Cathryn, who joined Nuveen in
1996, has managed the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds since July 2006.
Scott, who has been with Nuveen since 2000, assumed portfolio management

WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL MARKET ENVIRONMENTS DURING
THE 12-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2007?
Between June 1, 2006 and May 31, 2007, we saw interest rates at the short end of
the yield curve rise modestly, while longer rates generally declined. After
announcing one further rate increase in late June 2006, the Federal Reserve
ended its unprecedented series of 17 consecutive 0.25% rate hikes that brought
the fed funds rate to 5.25% over a two-year span. During the remaining 11 months
of this reporting period, the Fed left monetary policy unchanged as it kept
close tabs on inflationary pressures and the pace of economic growth. Over this
same 12-month period, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note
dropped 22 basis points to end May 2007 at 4.89%. In the municipal market, the
yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed measure of
longer-term municipal market rates, fell to 4.57% at the end of May 2007, a
decline of 65 basis points from the end of May 2006. As interest rates on
shorter-term municipal bonds reached the levels of longer-term bonds, the
municipal yield curve continued to flatten and bonds with longer durations1
generally outperformed those with shorter durations during this period.
Although many market observers had expected the Fed to act on rates in early
2007, slowing economic growth, higher energy prices and a slumping housing
market helped to keep the Fed on the sidelines. The U.S. gross domestic product
(GDP), a closely watched measure of economic growth, operated at below-trend
levels through most of 2006, expanded at a rate of 2.6% in the second quarter of
2006, 2.0% in the third quarter, and 2.5% in the fourth quarter (all GDP numbers
annualized). In the first quarter of 2007, the rate of GDP growth slowed even
further to 0.7%, the weakest rate since 2002. While the Consumer Price Index
(CPI) registered a 2.7% year-over-year gain as of May 2007, the increase in this
inflation gauge for the first five months of 2007 was 5.5%, driven largely by a
36% gain in energy prices. By comparison, the core CPI (which excludes food and
energy prices) rose 2.1% as of May 2007, close to the Fed's
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.

unofficial target of 2.0% or lower. The labor market remained tight, with a
national unemployment rate of 4.5% in May 2007, down from 4.6% in May 2006.
Over the 12 months ended May 2007, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled
$423.4 billion, up 15% from the previous 12 months. This total reflected a sharp
increase in supply during the first five months of 2007, when $173.7 billion in
new securities came to market, up almost 30% over the same period in 2006. A
major factor in 2007 volume was the 56% increase in advance refundings,2 driven
by attractive borrowing rates for issuers. The strength and diversity of the
demand for municipal bonds were as important as the increase in supply, as the
surge in issuance was easily absorbed by retail investors, institutional
investors such as hedge funds and arbitragers, and overseas investors, all of
whom continued to participate in the market.
HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, AND
MISSOURI DURING THIS PERIOD?
Connecticut, which continued to have the nation's highest income per capita
during this period, featured a diverse economy led by manufacturing, financial
services, education and health care. Although the defense industry's role in the
state economy continued to decline, Connecticut still relied heavily on this
sector, ranking seventh in terms of total defense dollars awarded to the 50
states. The Connecticut economy continued to expand with a growth rate that
ranked 33rd in terms of GDP by state in 2006. Unemployment in the state has yet
to recover to its pre-recession levels. As of May 2007, Connecticut's
unemployment rate was 4.5%, up from 4.1% in May 2006. Due to increased tax
receipts, Connecticut expected to end fiscal 2007 with a $536 million surplus,
marking the fourth consecutive year it has ended with a surplus. The 2008-2009
biennium state budget called for drawing down this surplus and increasing income
and cigarette taxes to achieve balance. In April 2007, both Moody's and Standard
& Poor's reconfirmed their ratings on Connecticut general obligation debt at Aa3
and AA, respectively, with stable outlooks. Contrary to the increase generally
seen in most states, issuance of municipal debt in Connecticut during the 12
months ended May 31, 2007, fell 10%, to $4.3 billion, from the previous 12
months. For the first five months of 2007, issuance totaled $1.2 billion, down
30% compared with the first five months of 2006. According to Moody's,
Connecticut's debt per capita was the second highest in the nation (following
Massachusetts), and the debt per capita/income per capita ratio was the third
highest among the 50 states.
Massachusetts' economy remained varied, with growth driven by education, health
care, financial services and technology. The concentration of colleges and
universities in the commonwealth continued to add a degree of stability to its
employment environment and provide a source of well-educated workers for its
service industries.
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 borrowing costs for bond issuers.
5
Education-related jobs accounted for approximately 5% of Massachusetts'
employment, twice the national average. Employment growth has weakened in recent
months, and in May 2007, the unemployment rate in Massachusetts was 5.1%, up
from 4.9% in May 2006. Population trends in the commonwealth, while positive,
lagged the national average. For fiscal 2007, Massachusetts' $25.7 billion
budget provided increased spending for school aid and assistance to
municipalities while holding the line on major tax increases. Tax revenues for
fiscal 2007 were expected to exceed projections by $328 million. The $26.7
billion fiscal 2008 budget called for closing a projected $1.2 billion deficit
through corporate tax hikes, elimination of deposits into the budget
stabilization fund, and utilizing the interest from that fund, which was
projected to end fiscal 2007 with a balance of $2.3 billion. In November 2006,
Moody's confirmed its rating on Massachusetts general obligation debt at Aa2,
and S&P confirmed its rating of AA in December 2006; both rating agencies
maintained stable outlooks. For the 12 months ended May 31, 2007, Massachusetts
went against the national trend of increased municipal supply, issuing $11.6
billion in debt, a decrease of 6% from the previous 12 months. During
January-May 2007, however, the commonwealth's issuance of $6.1 billion in new
municipal paper represented a surge of 55% over the first five months of 2006.
According to Moody's, Massachusetts' debt per capita ranked as the highest in
the nation, and debt as a percentage of personal income ranked second among the
50 states. Over the past two decades, debt levels in the commonwealth rose in
conjunction with costs associated with the Central Artery/Ted Williams Tunnel
Project, or Big Dig, which came in at approximately $15 billion, compared with
the pre-construction estimate of $5 billion in 1991.
Missouri's economy grew at a steady but considerably slower pace than the
national average in 2006, as continued problems in the struggling manufacturing
sector impacted expansion. While the state economy continued to rely heavily on
automotive, communication and aerospace manufacturing, it also diversified into
the highly competitive biotechnology sector. In May 2007, the unemployment rate
in Missouri was 4.6%, compared with 4.7% in May 2006. Population growth in the
state over the past six years was positive, although behind the national
average. For fiscal 2007, the state budget included appropriations for
elementary schools and road construction while reducing the number of state
employees. The fiscal 2008 budget, which represented an increase of 3.8% over
2007, called for redeploying money from the general fund, reducing it from 6.4%
of budget appropriations to 2.4%. As of May 2007, Moody's and S&P maintained
their ratings on Missouri general obligation (GO) debt at Aaa/AAA with a stable
outlook, reflecting the state's conservative fiscal policy and financial
management. During the 12 months ended May 31, 2007, the increase in municipal
issuance in Missouri outpaced the national trend, rising 28% over the previous
12-month period, to $8.2 billion. For January-May 2007, issuance in the state
totaled $2.2 billion, down 19% from the first five months of 2006. This issuance
fluctuation is fairly typical of smaller
6
markets such as Missouri. According to Moody's, Missouri's debt levels were
moderate in relation to the state's economic base, with both debt per capita and
debt as a percentage of personal income remaining well below national medians.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THIS PERIOD?
In the municipal bond interest rate environment of the past 12 months, we
continued to emphasize a disciplined approach to duration management and yield
curve positioning. As part of this approach, our purchases for the Funds'
portfolios focused mainly on attractively priced bonds maturing in 20 to 30
years. Overall, we believed that the bonds we purchased during this period
represented opportunities to add value, manage duration and enhance performance
and income.
In NOM, our duration management strategies during this period included the use
of inverse floating rate trusts,3 a type of derivative financial instrument. The
inverse floater had the dual benefit of increasing the Fund's distributable
income and bringing its duration closer to our preferred strategic target. As
discussed in past shareholder reports, we have also used Treasury futures
contracts and forward interest rate swaps (additional types of derivative
instruments) as duration management tools when we believed this supported our
overall investment performance strategies. The goal of this strategy is to help
us manage net asset value (NAV) volatility without having a negative impact on
the Funds' income streams or common share dividends over the short term. During
this reporting period, we used swaps in all three of the Massachusetts Funds and
both swaps and futures contracts in the four Connecticut Funds. As of May 31,
2007, the futures contracts had been removed, while the swaps remained in place
in NTC, NFC, NGK, NGO, NMT, and NMB.
We also continued to emphasize individual credit selection. While supply in all
three states remained relatively strong, both Connecticut and Massachusetts saw
small declines in municipal issuance for the entire 12-month period. Since all
three of these states are high-quality issuers, much of the new supply was
highly rated and/or insured. The combination of reduced supply and high quality
issuance in Connecticut and Massachusetts meant that we found fewer
opportunities in these markets to add lower-rated credits to our portfolios.
During this period, we added to the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds'
positions in health care (both hospitals and long-term/continuing care
facilities), higher education and multifamily and single-family housing. We also
continued to build positions in bonds that could help us increase the Funds'
income-generating potential and manage duration including non-callable bonds.
3 An inverse floating rate trust is a financial instrument designed to pay
long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
securities in which the Funds invested during the 12-month period, are
further defined within the "Notes to Financial Statements" and "Glossary of
Terms Used in This Report" sections of this shareholder report.
7
In Missouri during this period, various market conditions resulted in a number
of large lower-rated, uninsured hospital offerings coming to market at the same
time. To ensure buyer interest, these deals were offered at very attractive
prices. We found opportunities to purchase lower credit quality and non-rated
bonds that we considered attractive based not only on their price, but also on
their performance potential and the support they could provide for NOM's income
stream. These purchases focused mainly on health care and tax increment
financing (TIF) bonds. As part of our efforts to extend NOM's duration, we also
added housing bonds with long maturities to our portfolio.
To help maintain the Funds' durations within our preferred strategic range and
to generate cash for purchases, we selectively sold some of the Funds' holdings
with shorter durations.

4 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal
bonds, while the Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index containing a broad range of insured
municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any
expenses.
5 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using
the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: 1 year, 46; 5 years, 27; and 10 years, 18. Fund and Lipper returns
assume reinvestment of dividends.
8
For the 12 months ended May 31, 2007, the total returns on net asset value for
NFC, NGK, NGO, NMT, and NMB exceeded the return on the national Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, NTC performed in line with this Lehman index, while NOM
trailed the index. For the same period, NGX outperformed the return on the
Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index. During this 12 month period, NGO
and NMT outperformed the average return for the Lipper Other States Municipal
Debt Funds Average, while the other Funds lagged the group average. Shareholders
should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds
Average represents the overall average of returns for funds from 10 different
states with a wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct
comparisons less meaningful.
Factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period included yield
curve and duration positioning, exposure to lower-rated credits, individual
security selection and sector allocations, and advance refunding activity.
As the yield curve continued to flatten over the course of this period,
municipal bonds with maturities of 15 years and longer, as measured by the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, performed best, generally outpacing
municipal bonds with shorter maturities, especially those with maturities of 5
years and less. While our strategies during this period included adding longer
bonds to all of our portfolios, most of these Funds remained short of our
strategic target range in terms of their holdings of bonds in the longest part
of the yield curve, which was negative for performance. In the Connecticut and
Massachusetts Funds, this was offset to a large degree by these Funds' heavier
exposure to the intermediate part of the curve and their lower allocations to
the shorter part of the curve. The yield curve and duration positioning of the
Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds during this period was a positive
contributor to their performance.
Due in part to a large number of advance refundings over the past two years,
however, NOM had heavy exposure to the short part of the yield curve that did
not perform well, including holdings of higher coupon and pre-refunded bonds
that had final maturities in 2009-2012 or that were priced to calls in that time
span. This had a major negative impact on NOM's performance for this period. As
previously mentioned, we worked on restructuring NOM's portfolio during this
period by extending the Fund's duration and reducing its exposure to the part of
the curve that underperformed.
With bonds rated BBB or lower and non-rated bonds generally outperforming other
credit quality sectors during this period, all of these Funds benefited from
their weightings in lower-quality credits. The outperformance of these credit
sectors was largely the result of investor demand for the higher yields
typically associated with lower-rated bonds, which drove up their value. As
Dividend Advantage Funds, NFC,
9
NGK, NGO, and NMB can invest up to 20% of their assets in below-investment-grade
securities (bonds rated BB or below) or in non-rated bonds judged to be in the
same credit quality category. The exposure of these four Funds to the
subinvestment-grade sector, together with a fee reimbursement agreement,
contributed to the performance of these Funds during this period. In addition,
NGO had the heaviest weighting of bonds rated BBB across all eight of these
Funds, which further benefited its performance. The insured NGX, which can
invest up to 20% of its assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities,
held 2% of its assets in bonds rated BBB as of May 31, 2007.
Among the lower-rated holdings making positive contributions to the Funds'
returns for this period were industrial development bonds and health-care
(including hospitals and long-term care facilities) credits, which ranked as the
top performing revenue sectors in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.
Lower-rated bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement also
performed well. As of May 31, 2007, the Connecticut Funds held approximately 2%
to 3% of their portfolios in lower-rated tobacco bonds, while NMT had allocated
less than 1% of its portfolio to these bonds. NMB, NGX, and NOM did not hold any
tobacco bonds.
Additional sectors that helped the Funds' performances during this period
included tax-appropriation and TIF bonds. The Funds' holdings of noncallable
bonds also provided a positive impact on performance for this period.
We continued to see positive contributions from advance refunding activity,
which benefited the Funds through price appreciation and enhanced credit
quality. All of the Funds saw healthy levels of pre-refunding activity. In
particular, NMT's performance received a boost from its newly pre-refunded
holdings. However, NTC had only about half as many advance refundings as the
other three Connecticut Funds, which hampered its performance relative to its
peers.
At the same time, older, previously pre-refunded bonds tended to underperform
the general municipal market during this period, due primarily to their shorter
effective maturities. In addition, holdings of single-family housing bonds
negatively impacted the performances of all of these Funds (with the exception
of NGX, which did not hold any single-family housing bonds), due to the
underperformance of this sector as the municipal market rallied.
10
We should also note that all of these Funds continued to use financial leverage
to provide opportunities for additional income and total return for common
shareholders. This strategy can also add volatility to a Fund's NAV and share
price. Over this period, the use of leverage was generally a positive factor in
the Funds' total return performance, especially in relation to that of the
unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index.
11
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, all eight of the Funds in this report use leverage to
potentially enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders.
Although the Funds' use of this strategy continued to provide incremental
income, the extent of this benefit was somewhat reduced during this period due
to high short-term interest rates that, in turn, kept the Funds' borrowing costs
high. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the proceeds from older,
higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called or sold were reinvested into
bonds currently available in the market, which generally offered lower yields.
The combination of these factors resulted in one monthly dividend reduction in
NTC and NGO and two in NFC, NGK, NMT, NMB, and NOM over the 12-month period
ended May 31, 2007. In NGX, however, we were able to increase the dividend
effective November 2006.
Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds
received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of
December 2006 as follows:
Short-Term Capital Gains
Long-Term Capital Gains and/or Ordinary Income
(per share) (per share)
NTC $0.0652 $0.0043
NGK $0.0363 $0.0008
NMT $0.0049 $0.0027
NOM $0.0048 --
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of May 31, 2007, all of the
Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for tax purposes and negative
UNII balances for financial statement purposes.

Fund, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, Nuveen Connecticut
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund 3, Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen

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 each of the
periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of May 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers
were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
2, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3, Nuveen Massachusetts
Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal

Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund at May 31, 2007, the results of their
operations for the year then ended, changes in their net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of
the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
The Fund may invest in "zero coupon" securities. A zero
coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the security.
Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes
from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the security at issuance and the par
value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the
portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their
description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market
prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments
are based on net assets applicable to Common shares
unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates
(month and year) and prices of the earliest optional
call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain
mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic
principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent
registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of
Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB
by Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment
grade.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which
ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
Such investments are normally considered to be
equivalent to AAA rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the
Fund and counterparty commence interest payment
accruals on each forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
The Fund may invest in "zero coupon" securities.
A zero coupon security does not pay a regular interest
coupon to its holders during the life of the security.
Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes
from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the security at issuance and the par
value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the
portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their
description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market
prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments
are based on net assets applicable to Common shares
unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates
(month and year) and prices of the earliest optional
call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain
mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic
principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent
registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of
Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB
by Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment
grade.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which
ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
Such investments are normally considered to be
equivalent to AAA rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the
Fund and counterparty commence interest payment
accruals on each forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
The Fund may invest in "zero coupon" securities. A zero
coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the security.
Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes
from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the security at issuance and the par
value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the
portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their
description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market
prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments
are based on net assets applicable to Common shares
unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates
(month and year) and prices of the earliest optional
call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain
mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic
principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent
registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of
Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB
by Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment
grade.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which
ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
Such investments are normally considered to be
equivalent to AAA rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the
Fund and counterparty commence interest payment
accruals on each forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.

====================================================================================================================================
USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank
Offered Rate) The Fund may invest in "zero coupon"
securities. A zero coupon security does not pay a
regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the
security comes from accretion of the difference between
the original purchase price of the security at issuance
and the par value of the security at maturity and is
effectively paid at maturity. Such securities are
included in the portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in
their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market
prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments
are based on net assets applicable to Common shares
unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates
(month and year) and prices of the earliest optional
call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain
mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic
principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent
registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of
Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB
by Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment
grade.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which
ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
Such investments are normally considered to be
equivalent to AAA rated securities.
(5) Effective date represents the date on which both the
Fund and counterparty commence interest payment
accruals on each forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate)
The Fund may invest in "zero coupon" securities. A zero
coupon security does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the security.
Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes
from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the security at issuance and the par
value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the
portfolio with a 0.00% coupon rate in their
description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market
prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments
are based on net assets applicable to Common shares
unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates
(month and year) and prices of the earliest optional
call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain
mortgage-backed securities may be subject to periodic
principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent
registered public accounting firm): Using the higher of
Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB
by Standard & Poor's Group or Baa by Moody's Investor
Service, Inc. are considered to be below investment
grade.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which
ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
Such investments are normally considered to be
equivalent to AAA rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but
has variable rate and demand features which qualify it
as a short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that
in effect at the end of the reporting period. This rate
changes periodically based on market conditions or a
specified market index.
(6) Effective date represents the date on which both the
Fund and counterparty commence interest payment
accruals on each forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common
share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income Municipal
Fund (NTC), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFC), Nuveen
Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NGK), Nuveen Connecticut
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NGO), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income
Municipal Fund (NMT), Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
(NMB), Nuveen Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NGX) and
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM). Common shares of
Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Connecticut
Dividend Advantage (NFC), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut
Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO), Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB), Insured
Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are
traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment
companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free
Advantage (NGX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within a single state 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 Trustees. When market price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service may establish fair 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
forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Trustees. Futures contracts are valued using
the closing settlement price, or, in the absence of such a price, at the mean of
the bid and asked prices. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for
a municipal bond, forward swap contract or futures contract, 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 is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the
Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary
investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying
them as short-term investments 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/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2007, Connecticut
Premium Income (NTC), Connecticut Dividend Advantage (NFC), Connecticut Dividend
Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO), Massachusetts Premium
Income (NMT), Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB) and Insured Massachusetts
Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase
commitments of $317,224, $156,012, $140,411, $260,020, $1,337,314, $570,988 and
$776,343, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in
Missouri Premium Income (NOM) at May 31, 2007.
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.
68
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital
gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state
income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX)
the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt
status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. 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 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 for each Fund is as follows:

=====================================================================================================================
Insurance
Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) invests at least 80% of its net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities that are covered by insurance. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of
its net assets (including net assets 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 Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser").
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Fund's Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Fund
ultimately disposes of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Fund. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market
value of the underlying municipal securities nor
69
the Common share net asset value of the Fund includes value, if any,
attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance
does, however, give the Fund the right to obtain permanent insurance with
respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at
the time of its sale.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating
rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed
interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn,
this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some
fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market value, that typically pay
short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a
long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate
certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that represents all
remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse
floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating
rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder
bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk and
also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be
more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is
dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on
the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the
inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater
face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer deposit into the special purpose trust and
receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). An investment in an externally-deposited
inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Inverse
floating rate investment". An investment in a self-deposited inverse floater is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Floating
rate obligations interest expense and fees" in the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, Missouri Premium Income (NOM)
invested in externally deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse
floaters. None of the other Funds invested in such instruments during the fiscal
year ended May 31, 2007.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year
ended May 31, 2007, were as follows:

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

Average annual interest rate and fees 3.86%
================================================================================
Forward Swap Transactions
The Funds are authorized to invest in certain derivative financial instruments.
Each Funds' use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. 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 reduce 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
70
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.
Futures Contracts
The Funds are authorized to invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a
futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of
cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the
contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value
of the contract when originally entered into. Cash held by the broker to cover
initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin when
applicable.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences
in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing
certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of
investments in inverse floating rate transactions subject to SFAS No. 140. To
the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and
permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

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, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), 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:
CONNECTICUT PREMIUM INCOME (NTC)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS MASSACHUSETTS PREMIUM INCOME (NMT)

For the next $1 billion .4000
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 May 31, 2007, the complex-level fee rate was .1824%.
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE
================================================================================
For the first $55 billion .2000%
For the next $1 billion .1800
For the next $1 billion .1600

For the next $3 billion .1325
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
preferred stock issued by or borrowings 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.
75
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services
to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has
adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables
Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual
compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised funds.
Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had
been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised funds.
For the first ten years of Connecticut Dividend Advantage's (NFC) and
Massachusetts Dividend Advantage's (NMB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to
reimburse the Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net
assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN 48).
FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized,
measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires
the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of
preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are
"more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax
positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be
recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is
required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be
applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Recent SEC guidance
allows funds to delay implementing FIN 48 into NAV calculations until the fund's
last NAV calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period.
As a result, the Funds must begin to incorporate FIN 48 into their NAV
calculations by November 30, 2007. At this time, management is continuing to
evaluate the implications of FIN 48 and does not expect the adoption of FIN 48
will have a significant impact on the net assets or results of operations of the
Funds.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the
application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. As of May 31, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS
No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of
Operations for the period.

Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with an investor
group majority-led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC. Madison Dearborn Partners,
LLC is a private equity investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The investor
group includes affiliates of Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank
and Morgan Stanley. It is anticipated that Merrill Lynch and its affiliates will
be indirect "affiliated persons" (as that term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940) of the Funds. Under the terms of the merger, each
outstanding share of Nuveen Investments' common stock (other than dissenting
shares) will be converted into the right to receive a specified amount of cash,
without interest. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of the year,
subject to customary conditions, including obtaining the approval of Nuveen
Investments shareholders, obtaining necessary fund and client consents
sufficient to satisfy the terms of the Merger Agreement, and expiration of
certain regulatory waiting periods. The obligations of Madison Dearborn
Partners, LLC to consummate the merger are not conditioned on its obtaining
financing. The Merger Agreement includes a "go shop" provision through July 19,
2007, during which Nuveen Investments may actively solicit and negotiate
competing takeover proposals.
The consummation of the merger will be deemed to be an "assignment" (as defined
in the 1940 Act) of the investment management agreement between each Fund and
the Adviser, and will result in the automatic termination of each Fund's
agreement. Prior to the consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that the
Board of Trustees of each Fund will consider a new investment management
agreement with the Adviser. If approved by the Board, the new agreement would be
presented to the Fund's shareholders for approval, and, if so approved by
shareholders, would take effect upon consummation of the merger. There can be no
assurance that the merger described above will be consummated as contemplated or
that necessary shareholder approvals will be obtained.

* Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market

capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
the time of reinvestment. Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is
the combination of changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested
dividend income at net asset value and reinvested capital gains
distributions at net asset value, if any. Total returns are not annualized.

+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.

91
Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the
investment adviser to the Funds and determining whether to continue the advisory
arrangements. At a meeting held on May 21-23, 2007 (the "May Meeting"), the
Board of Trustees of the Funds, including the independent Trustees, unanimously
approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement between each
Fund and NAM (the "Fund Adviser").
THE APPROVAL PROCESS
During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials
relating to the services provided by the Fund Adviser and the performance of the
Funds. At each of its quarterly meetings, the Board reviews investment
performance and various matters relating to the respective Fund's operations,
including the Fund's compliance program, shareholder services, valuation,
custody, distribution and other information relating to the nature, extent and
quality of services provided by the Fund Adviser. Between the regularly
scheduled quarterly meetings, the Trustees received information on particular
matters as the need arose. In considering whether to renew the respective
advisory contract with the Fund Adviser at the May Meeting, the independent
Trustees also received extensive materials well in advance of their meeting
which outlined, among other things:
o the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Adviser;
o the organization and business operations of the Fund Adviser, including the
responsibilities of various departments and key personnel;
o the Fund's past performance as well as the Fund's performance compared to
funds with similar investment objectives based on data and information
provided by an independent third party and to customized benchmarks;
o the profitability of the Fund Adviser and certain industry profitability
analyses for unaffiliated advisers;
o the expenses of the Fund Adviser in providing the various services;
o the advisory fees and total expense ratios of the Fund, including
comparisons of such fees and expenses with those of comparable,
unaffiliated funds based on information and data provided by an independent
third party (the "Peer Universe") as well as compared to a subset of funds
within the Peer Universe (the "Peer Group") of the respective Fund (as
applicable);
o the advisory fees the Fund Adviser assesses to other types of investment
products or clients;
o the soft dollar practices of the Fund Adviser, if any; and
o from independent legal counsel, a legal memorandum describing among other
things, applicable laws, regulations and duties in reviewing and approving
advisory contracts.
At the May Meeting, the Fund Adviser made a presentation to and responded to
questions from the Board.
Prior to and after the presentations and 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 contracts. 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, but not limited to, the following: (a) the nature, extent and
quality of the services to be provided by the Fund Adviser; (b) the investment
performance of the Fund and the Fund Adviser; (c) the costs of the services to
be provided and profits to be realized by the Fund Adviser and its affiliates;
(d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized; and (e) whether
fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
In addition, as noted, the Trustees met regularly throughout the year to oversee
the Funds. In evaluating the advisory contracts, the Trustees also relied upon
92
their knowledge resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout
the year of the Fund Adviser, its services and the Funds. It is with this
background that the Trustees considered each advisory contract.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In reviewing the Fund Adviser, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and
quality of the Fund Adviser's services. The Trustees reviewed materials
outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser's organization and business; the
types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide and are
expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund
(as described in further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen has taken for
the municipal fund product line. As noted, the Trustees are already familiar
with the organization, operations and personnel of the Fund Adviser due to the
Trustees' experience in governing the respective Fund and working with NAM on
matters relating to the Funds. With respect to personnel, the Trustees
recognized NAM's investment in additional qualified personnel throughout the
various groups in the organization and recommended to NAM that it continue to
review staffing needs as necessary. In addition, with respect to the municipal
funds advised by NAM, the Trustees reviewed materials describing the current
status and, in particular, the developments in 2006 with respect to NAM's
investment process, investment strategies (including additional tools used in
executing such strategies), personnel (including portfolio management and
research teams), trading process, hedging team, risk management team (e.g.,
reviewing credit quality, duration limits, derivative use, as applicable), and
investment operations (such as, enhancements to trading procedures, pricing
procedures, and client services). The Trustees recognized NAM's investment of
resources and efforts to continue to enhance and refine its investment process.
In addition to advisory services, the independent Trustees considered the
quality of any administrative or non-advisory services provided. With respect to
NAM, NAM provides the Funds with a wide variety of services and officers and
other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Fund,
including,
o product management;
o fund administration;
o oversight of shareholder services and other fund service providers;
o administration of Board relations;
o regulatory and portfolio compliance; and
o legal support services.
As the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry and given the importance of
compliance, the Trustees considered, in particular, NAM's compliance activities
for the Funds and enhancements thereto. In this regard, the Trustees recognized
the quality of NAM's compliance team. The Trustees further noted NAM's
negotiations with other service providers and the corresponding reduction in
certain service providers' fees.
With respect to closed-end funds, in addition to the foregoing services, the
Trustees also noted the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide
to closed-end funds, including, in particular, its secondary market support
activities. The Trustees recognized Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting
the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a
variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and
understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include:
o maintaining shareholder communications;
o providing advertising for closed-end funds;
o maintaining its closed-end fund website;
o continual contact with financial advisers;
o providing educational symposia;
o conducting research with investors and financial analysis regarding
closed-end funds; and
o evaluating secondary market performance.
93
With respect to Funds that utilize leverage through the issuance of preferred
shares, the Trustees noted Nuveen's continued support for the preferred shares
by, among other things:
o maintaining an in-house trading desk;
o maintaining a product manager for the preferred shares;
o developing distribution for preferred shares with new market participants;
o maintaining an orderly auction process;
o managing leverage and risk management of leverage; and
o maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency
criteria.
Based on their review, the Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and
quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective
Funds under the Investment Management Agreements were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND FUND ADVISER
The Board considered the investment performance for each Fund, including the
Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with
similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data
provided by an independent third party (as described below). With respect to
municipal funds, the Trustees reviewed portfolio level performance against
customized benchmarks, as described in further detail below.
In evaluating the performance information, in certain instances, the Trustees
noted that the closest Performance Peer Group for a Fund may 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
Performance Peer Group.
With respect to state specific municipal funds, the Trustees also recognized
that certain state municipal funds do not have a corresponding state specific
Performance Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a
more general municipal category for various states. With respect to municipal
closed-end funds, municipal funds that do not have corresponding state-specific
Performance Peer Groups are from all states other than New York, California,
Florida, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. However, with respect to Funds
based on Florida, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania, the peer group may be
so small or the Nuveen Funds may dominate the category to such an extent that
performance information for such Funds was also compared to the more general
category for all states (other than New York and California).
With respect to municipal funds, the Trustees reviewed performance information
including, among other things, total return information compared with the Fund's
Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as
applicable) ending December 31, 2006. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund's
portfolio level performance (which does not reflect fund level fees and
expenses) compared to customized portfolio-level benchmarks for the one- and
three-year periods ending December 31, 2006 (as applicable). This analysis is
designed to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate
measures of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This
information supplements the Fund performance information provided to the Board
at each of its quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Trustees
determined that the respective Fund's absolute and relative investment
performance over time had been satisfactory, subject to the following. With
respect to various municipal closed-end funds, the Trustees have noted the
relative total return underperformance in recent years compared to peers. The
Trustees reviewed materials and discussed with the Fund Adviser the factors
contributing to the shift in performance including, among other things, the
degree of risk undertaken by peers compared to the Funds (such as through the
increased use of leverage or taking concentrated positions in high risk
credits). In addition, the Trustees also considered a Fund's dividend
performance and the extent of any secondary market discounts. The Trustees noted
NAM's efforts to evaluate the factors affecting performance and determine
whether modification to a Fund's investment strategy is necessary or appropriate
and are satisfied with the steps being taken.
94
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
In evaluating the management fees and expenses of a Fund, the Board
reviewed, among other things, the Fund's advisory fees (net and gross
management fees) and total expense ratios (before and after expense
reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as comparisons to
the gross management fees (before waivers), net management fees (after
waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) of comparable
funds in the Peer Universe and the Peer Group. In reviewing the fee
schedule for a Fund, the Trustees considered the fund-level and
complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and
any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in
particular, for certain Funds launched since 1999). The Trustees further
reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as the
methods of measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the performance
analysis. In certain cases, due to the small number of peers in the Peer
Universe, the Peer Universe and Peer Group may be the same. In reviewing
the comparison of fee and expense information, the Trustees recognized that
in certain cases, the Fund size relative to peers, the small size and odd
composition of the Peer Group (including differences in objectives and
strategies), expense anomalies, timing of information used or other factors
impact the comparisons thereby limiting some of their usefulness. With
respect to municipal closed-end funds, the Trustees also considered the
differences in the use of leverage. Based on their review of the fee and
expense information provided, the Trustees determined that each Fund's net
total expense ratio was within an acceptable range compared to peers.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Trustees further reviewed data comparing the advisory fees of NAM with
fees NAM charges to other clients. With respect to municipal funds, such
other clients include municipal managed accounts. In general, the advisory
fees charged for separate accounts are somewhat lower than the advisory
fees assessed to the Funds. The Trustees considered the differences in the
product types, including, but not limited to, the services provided, the
structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof, portfolio
investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory
requirements. The Trustees noted, in particular, that the range of services
provided to the Funds (as discussed above) is more extensive than that
provided to separately managed accounts. As described in further detail
above, such additional services include, but are not limited to, providing:
product management, fund administration, oversight of third party service
providers, administration of Board relations, and legal support. Funds
further operate in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive
compliance functions compared to the other investment products. Given the
inherent differences in the products, particularly the extensive services
provided to the Funds, the Trustees believe such facts justify the
different levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF FUND ADVISERS
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Trustees also considered the
profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which incorporated
Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers) and its financial condition.
The Trustees reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory
activities for the last three years, the allocation methodology used in
preparing the profitability data as well as the 2006 Annual Report for
Nuveen. The Trustees noted this information supplements the profitability
information requested and received during the year to help keep them
apprised of developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee
waivers and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the
Trustees noted the enhanced dialogue and information regarding
profitability with NAM during the year, including more frequent meetings
and updates from Nuveen's corporate finance group. The Trustees also
reviewed data comparing Nuveen's profitability with other fund sponsors
prepared by three independent third party service providers as well as
comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various
unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under
management prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Trustees have recognized the subjective
nature in determining profitability which may be affected by numerous
factors, including, the allocation of expenses. Further, the Trustees
95
have recognized the difficulties in making comparisons as the profitability
of other advisers generally is not publicly available and the profitability
information that is available for certain advisers or management firms may
not be representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other
things, the adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of
funds managed and expense allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees reviewed Nuveen's methodology and
assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine
profitability. Last year, the Trustees also designated an independent Trustee as
a point person for the Board to review the methodology determinations during the
year and any refinements thereto and report back to them. The Trustees also
reviewed the comparisons of Nuveen's profitability margins (including pre- and
post-marketing profit margins) with the profitability of various unaffiliated
management firms. In reviewing profitability, the Trustees recognized Nuveen's
increased investment into its fund business. Based on its review, the Trustees
concluded that they were satisfied that Nuveen's level of profitability for its
advisory activities was reasonable in light of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Trustees also
considered any other revenues paid to the Fund Adviser as well as any indirect
benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser 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
With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees recognized the potential
benefits resulting from the costs of a Fund being spread over a larger asset
base. To help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits, the Trustees have
reviewed and considered the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that
reduce advisory fees. In addition to advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also
approved in 2004 a complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide
fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the
Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Trustees noted that the last
breakpoint for the complex-wide fee schedule is at the $91 billion level and
anticipate further review and/or negotiations prior to the assets of the Nuveen
complex reaching such threshold. 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 subject to further evaluation of the complex-wide fee schedule as
assets in the complex increase.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or
profits the Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its
relationship with each Fund. With respect to closed-end funds, the Trustees
considered revenues received by affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at
Nuveen's preferred trading desk and for serving as a co-manager in the initial
public offering of new closed-end exchange traded funds.
In addition to the above, the Trustees considered whether the Fund Adviser
received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that
may be useful to the Fund Adviser in managing the assets of the Fund and other
clients. With respect to NAM, the Trustees noted that NAM does not currently
have any soft dollar arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide
agency transactions that occur on markets that traditionally trade on a
principal basis and riskless principal transactions are considered as generating
"commissions," NAM intends to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including the independent Trustees,
unanimously concluded that the terms of the NAM Investment Management Agreements
are fair and reasonable, that the Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the renewal of the NAM Investment
Management Agreements should be approved.
96
Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price 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.
97
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

by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

INVESTMENT POLICY CHANGE
In February 2007, the Board of Trustees voted to remove investment policy
restrictions that limited the territorial bond holdings of these Funds to a
maximum of 10 percent of net assets. This change will give the Funds' portfolio
managers greater flexibility to achieve its investment objectives.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
o 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.
o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or
the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
o 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.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o 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.
o 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 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees determined that the registrant
has 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 is Jack B. Evans, Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is
"independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer 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 Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For
engagements with Ernst & Young LLP 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).

(1) "Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for
the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and services provided
in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2) "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and
related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or

(1) The amounts reported for the Fund under the column heading "Tax Fees"
represents amounts billed to the Adviser exclusively for the preparation
for the Fund's tax return, the cost of which is borne by the Adviser. In
the aggregate, for all Nuveen funds for which Ernst & Young LLP serves as
independent registered public accounting firm, these fees amounted to
$161,400 in 2006. Beginning with fund fiscal years ending August 31, 2006,
Ernst & Young LLP will no longer prepare the fund tax returns.
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. The Audit
Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP
provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the
engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting
(except for those subject to the de minimis exception described above). The
Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about
any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last
fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The
Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit
Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund
by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services
to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts
greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under
$10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at

Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The
members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, William J.
Schneider, Eugene S. Sunshine and David J. Kundert.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash
management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or
through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer
whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are
expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of
acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the
municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or
facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit
problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer,
NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail
negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and
otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such
activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but
nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board of Trustees on its
control activities on a quarterly basis.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the
registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM
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 registrant's Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of NAM's
legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that
records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed
with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board of
Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day
implementation of the registrant's investment strategies:
NAME FUND
CATHRYN P. STEEVES Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the
portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio
management of the following accounts:
TYPE OF ACCOUNT NUMBER OF
PORTFOLIO MANAGER MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cathryn P. Steeves Registered Investment Company 41 $8.301 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles -0- $0
Other Accounts -0- $0
* Assets are as of May 31, 2007. None of the assets in these accounts are
subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic
elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The
compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation, including
these three elements, to the market in order to create a compensation structure
that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As
discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio
manager's total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among
others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the
portfolio manager's investment team, the investment performance of the accounts
managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM). Although investment performance
is a factor in determining the portfolio manager's compensation, it is not
necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager's performance is evaluated
in part by comparing manager's performance against a specified investment
benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds
in each Fund's specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by
managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing,
Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2
million. As of April 30, 2007, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was
comprised of 50,300 securities with an aggregate current market value of
$985.260 billion.
Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a
level determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy
discussed above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase
a portfolio manager's base salary.
Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual
cash bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations
made by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by
his peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of
factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to
the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves
as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts,
his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and
their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and
to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also
impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its
business objectives.
Long-term incentive compensation. Each portfolio manager is eligible to
receive bonus compensation in the form of equity-based awards issued in
securities issued by Nuveen Investments, Inc. The amount of such compensation is
dependent upon the same factors articulated for cash bonus awards but also
factors in his long-term potential with the firm.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous
management of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present
actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and
aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the
other account. NAM, however, believes that such potential conflicts are
mitigated by the fact that the NAM has adopted several policies that address
potential conflicts of interest, including best execution and trade allocation
policies that are designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking
the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and
equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and
(3) compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be
treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon
account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager. In
addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth policies regarding
conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of the May 31, 2007, the portfolio
manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities
issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal
investment team.
