Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The financial markets in which your Fund operates continue to reflect the larger
economic crosscurrents. The illiquidity that infected global credit markets over
the last year appears to be slowly but steadily receding. The major institutions
that are the linchpin of the international financial system are strengthening
their capital structures, but many still struggle with losses in their various
portfolios. There are encouraging signs of recovery in European and Asian
economies, while the U.S. economy continues to feel the impact of job losses and
an over-borrowed consumer. Global trends include modestly increasing trade and
increased concern about the ability of the U.S. government to address its
substantial budgetary deficits. Identifying those developments that will define
the future is never easy, but rarely is it more difficult than at present.
After considerable volatility in the first few months of 2009, both the
fixed-income and equity markets have seen a partial recovery. A fundamental
component of a successful long-term investment program is a commitment to remain
invested during market downturns in order to be better positioned to benefit
from any recovery. Another component is to re-evaluate investment disciplines
and tactics and to confirm their validity following periods of extreme
volatility and market dislocation, such as we have recently experienced. Your
Board carried out an intensive review of investment performance with these
objectives in mind during April and May of this year as part of the annual
management contract renewal process. I encourage you to read the description of
this process in the Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
section of this report.
Remaining invested through market downturns and reconfirming the appropriateness
of a long term investment strategy is as important for our shareholders as it is
for professional investment managers. For that reason, I again encourage you to
remain in communication with your financial consultant on these subjects. For
recent developments on all your Nuveen Funds, please visit the Nuveen web site:
www.nuveen.com.
On behalf of the other members of your Fund's Board, we look forward to
continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner

Portfolio managers Tom Spalding, Scott Romans and Cathryn Steeves review key
investment strategies and the six-month performance of the Nuveen Select
Portfolios. With 34 years of investment experience, Tom has managed the three
national Portfolios since 1999. Scott, who joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed
NXC since 2003, while Cathryn, who has been with Nuveen since 1996, assumed
portfolio management responsibility for NXN in 2006.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE NUVEEN SELECT PORTFOLIOS DURING THE
SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009?
During this reporting period, municipal bond prices generally rose, as strong
cash flows into municipal bond funds combined with tighter supply of new
tax-exempt issuance to provide favorable supply and demand conditions.
Given the restricted supply during the period, investment activity in the Select
Portfolios was more limited than usual. One reason for the supply reduction was
the introduction of the Build America Bond program. Build America Bonds are a
new class of taxable municipal debt created as part of the February 2009
economic stimulus package. These bonds offer municipal issuers a federal subsidy
equal to 35% of the security's interest payments, and therefore offer issuers an
attractive alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt. As of September 30, 2009,
approximately 20% of new bonds issued in the municipal market were issued as
taxable Build America Bonds totaling more than $33 billion. Since interest
payments from these bonds represent taxable income, we do not see them as a good
investment opportunity for the Select Portfolios. Another factor dampening
trading activity during this period was the limited liquidity of many insured
bonds due to concerns about the financial health of municipal bond insurers.
Overall, we continued to focus on relative value by taking a bottom-up approach
to discover undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to
perform well over the long term. In selected cases, we were able to take
advantage of opportunities to purchase lower-rated and non-rated securities that
we believed offered value at very attractive prices. In the national Portfolios,
we also found some opportunities to add essential services credits, including
bonds in the health care sector, where supply was more plentiful due to the fact
that hospitals generally do not qualify for the Build America Bond program and
therefore must continue to issue bonds in the tax-exempt municipal market. In
general, our focus in

NXP, NXQ, and NXR was on bonds rated AA or A that could help to extend the
durations of these Portfolios.
Cash for new purchases during this period was generated by maturing or called
bonds. As with our investment activity, we were not active in trying to sell
portfolio holdings in a market environment where the majority of the bonds
available for reinvestment offered lower yields at higher dollar prices. NXN
also continued to maintain its cash reserves, which we had increased amid the
market uncertainty of the previous reporting period, in anticipation of
increased issuance during the last part of 2009.
We continued to use inverse floating rate securities(1) in all five of the
Select Portfolios. We employ inverse floaters as part of our management
strategies for a variety of reasons, including duration management, income
enhancement, and as a form of financial leverage. As of September 30, 2009, the
inverse floaters remained in place in all of the Portfolios.
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIOS PERFORM?

For the six months ended September 30, 2009, the cumulative return on net asset
value for NXQ performed in line with the Standard & Poor's (S&P) National
Municipal Bond Index and outperformed the national Barclays Capital Municipal
Bond Index, while NXP and NXR lagged the returns on these two national indexes.
For this same period, NXC and NXN underperformed the returns on the S&P
California Municipal Bond Index and the S&P New York Municipal Bond Index,
respectively. All of the Portfolios underperformed the average returns for their
respective Lipper peer groups for this period.
* Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year and
ten-year are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance
may be higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions

your Portfolio in this report.
(1) An inverse floating rate security, also known as an inverse floater, 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
Portfolios invested during this reporting period, are further defined
within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms Used in
this Report sections of this report.
(2) The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
performance of the investment-grade U.S. municipal bond market. The S&P
Municipal Bond Indexes for California and New York are also unlever-aged
and market value-weighted and comprise a broad range of investment-grade
municipal bonds issued in California and New York, respectively. These
indexes do not reflect any initial or ongoing expenses and are not
available for direct investment.
(3) The Barclays Capital (formerly Lehman Brothers) Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index containing a broad range of
investment-grade municipal bonds. Results for the Barclays Capital index
do not reflect any expenses, and the index is not available for direct
investment.
(4) Each of the Lipper Municipal Debt Funds Averages shown in this report is
calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in their respective
categories for each period as follows: Lipper General and Insured
Unleveraged category, six-months, 8 funds; 1-year, 8 funds; 5-year, 7
funds; and 10-year, 7 funds; Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds
Average, a category comprised of all California leveraged funds,
six-months, 24 funds; 1-year, 24 funds; five year, 23 funds; and 10-year,
12 funds; and Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Average, a category
comprised of all New York leveraged funds, six-months, 17; 1-year, 17
funds; 5-year, 16 funds; and 10-year, 6 funds. Portfolio and Lipper
returns assume reinvestment of dividends.

Key management factors that influenced the Portfolios' returns during this
period included yield curve and duration positioning, credit exposure and sector
allocation.
During this period, we saw yields on tax-exempt bonds decline and bond
valuations in general increase, especially at the longer end of the municipal
yield curve. Bonds in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities
longer than 15 years, particularly those with the longest maturities (22 years
and longer), benefited the most from this interest rate environment. These bonds
generally outperformed credits with shorter maturities, with bonds maturing in
one to two years posting the weakest returns for the period. Among the three
national Portfolios, NXQ benefited from having the longest durations, while the
performances of NXP and NXR were hampered by their greater exposure to the
shorter end of the yield curve. Overall, the net impact of duration and yield
curve positioning on performance was slightly negative in NXC and neutral in
NXN.
While duration played an important role in performance during this six months,
credit exposure was also a significant factor, especially in NXQ, NXC, and NXN.
As noted earlier, demand for municipal bonds increased among both institutional
and individual investors during this period. This increase was driven by a
variety of factors, including concerns about potential tax increases, the need
to rebalance portfolio allocations, and a growing appetite for additional risk.
At the same time, the supply of new municipal paper declined. As investors bid
up municipal bond prices, bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally
outperformed those rated AAA. In this environment, the Portfolios' performances
benefited greatly from their allocations of bonds rated BBB and below and
non-rated bonds. Among the national Portfolios, these bonds accounted for
approximately 18% of NXQ's portfolio, compared with 14% of NXP and 14% of NXR.
In NXC, a 17% allocation of lower-rated and non-rated bonds, together with an
underweighting of the AAA category, made a strong contribution to this
Portfolio's performance, more than offsetting the slight negative impact of its
duration positioning. Although NXN had a good weighting (21%) in the lower-rated
credit categories, this Portfolio also was heavily weighted in the
underperforming AAA category. This, combined with underperformance from sector
exposure, counteracted the positive impact of NXN's credit exposure to some
degree.
Holdings that generally contributed to the Portfolios' performances included
industrial development revenue (IDR), health care, zero coupon, and special tax
bonds, all of which outperformed the general municipal market during this
period. Bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement were also
among the strongest performers. As of September 30, 2009, NXP and NXQ each held
approximately 6% of their portfolios in lower-rated tobacco bonds, while NXC had
allocated 4%, NXR 4%, and NXN 2% to these credits.
Pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury securities and which
had been one of the top performing segments of the municipal bond market over
the past two years, performed especially poorly during this period. This was due
primarily to their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. As of
September 30, 2009, NXP had the largest weighting of pre-refunded bonds among
the national Portfolios, while NXC and NXN held significantly smaller amounts of
these bonds, which lessened the negative impact on these two Portfolios.
Additional market segments that lagged the overall municipal market included
general obligation bonds and resource recovery and water and sewer credits.

Dividend and Share Price Information
During the six-month reporting period ended September 30, 2009, NXP had one
increase in its monthly dividend, while the dividends of the four remaining
Select Portfolios remained stable throughout the period.
All of these Portfolios seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each
Portfolio's past results and projected future performance. During certain
periods, each Portfolio may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Portfolio during
the period. If a Portfolio 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 Portfolio's NAV. Conversely, if a Portfolio has
cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes
negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Portfolio's NAV. Each Portfolio
will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to
shareholders. As of September 30, 2009, all the Portfolios had a positive UNII
balance, based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes. NXP, NXQ, NXR and NXC
had a positive UNII balance, and NXN had a negative UNII balances for financial
statement purposes.
REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
The Nuveen Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved an open-market share
repurchase program on July 30, 2008, under which each Fund may repurchase an
aggregate of up to 10% of its outstanding shares. Since the inception of the
Portfolios' repurchase program during July 2008, the Portfolios have not
repurchased any of their outstanding common shares.
As of September 30, 2009, the share prices of the Select Portfolios were trading
at premiums (+) or discounts (-) to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying
table:

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: 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: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's 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) On December 9, 2002, UAL Corporation ("UAL"), the holding company of
United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") filed for federal bankruptcy protection.
The Adviser determined that it was likely that United would not remain
current on their interest payment obligations with respect to the bonds
previously held and thus the Fund had stopped accruing interest on its UAL
bonds. On February 1, 2006, UAL emerged from federal bankruptcy with the
acceptance of its reorganization plan by the bankruptcy court. Under the
settlement agreement established to meet UAL's unsecured bond obligations,
the bondholders, including the Fund, received three distributions of UAL
common stock over the subsequent months, and the bankruptcy court
dismissed all unsecured claims of bondhold- ers, including those of the
Fund. On May 5, 2006, the Fund liquidated such UAL common stock holdings.
On September 29, 2006 and May 30, 2007, the Fund received additional
distributions of 1,901 and 617 shares, respectively, of UAL common stock
as a result of its earlier ownership of the UAL bonds. The Fund liquidated
1,901 shares of such UAL common stock holdings on November 15, 2006. The
Fund received an additional distribution of 172 UAL common stock shares on
November 14, 2007. The remaining 789 shares of UAL common stock were still
held by the Fund at September 30, 2009.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: 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: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's 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) On December 9, 2002, UAL Corporation ("UAL"), the holding company of
United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") filed for federal bankruptcy protection.
The Adviser determined that it was likely that United would not remain
current on their interest payment obligations with respect to the bonds
previously held and thus the Fund had stopped accruing interest on its UAL
bonds. On February 1, 2006, UAL emerged from federal bankruptcy with the
acceptance of its reorganization plan by the bankruptcy court. Under the
settlement agreement established to meet UAL's unsecured bond obligations,
the bondholders, including the Fund, received three distributions of UAL
common stock over the subsequent months, and the bankruptcy court
dismissed all unsecured claims of bondhold- ers, including those of the
Fund. On May 5, 2006, the Fund liquidated such UAL common stock holdings.
On September 29, 2006 and May 30, 2007, the Fund received additional
distributions of 1,825 and 592 shares, respectively, of UAL common stock
as a result of its earlier ownership of the UAL bonds. The Fund liquidated
the 1,825 shares of such UAL common stock holdings on November 15, 2006.
The Fund received an additional distribution of 165 UAL common stock
shares on November 14, 2007. The remaining 757 shares of UAL common stock
were still held by the Fund at September 30, 2009.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underling bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing
transaction. See Notes to Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Inverse
Floating Rate Securities for more information.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: 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: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's 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) On December 9, 2002, UAL Corporation ("UAL"), the holding company of
United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") filed for federal bankruptcy protection.
The Adviser determined that it was likely that United would not remain
current on their interest payment obligations with respect to the bonds
previously held and thus the Fund had stopped accruing interest on its UAL
bonds. On February 1, 2006, UAL emerged from federal bankruptcy with the
acceptance of its reorganization plan by the bankruptcy court. Under the
settlement agreement established to meet UAL's unsecured bond obligations,
the bondholders, including the Fund, received three distributions of UAL
common stock over the subsequent months, and the bankruptcy court
dismissed all unsecured claims of bondholders, including those of the
Fund. On May 5, 2006, the Fund liquidated such UAL common stock holdings.
On September 29, 2006 and May 30, 2007, the Fund received additional
distributions of 532 and 172 shares, respectively, of UAL common stock as
a result of its earlier ownership of the UAL bonds. The Fund liquidated
532 shares of such UAL common stock holdings on November 15, 2006. The
Fund received an additional distribution of 48 UAL common stock shares on
November 14, 2007. The remaining 220 shares of UAL common stock were still
held by the Fund at September 30, 2009.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange
symbols are Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio (NXP), Nuveen Select
Tax-Free Income Portfolio 2 (NXQ), Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio 3
(NXR), Nuveen California Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio (NXC) and Nuveen New
York Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio (NXN) (collectively, the "Funds"). The
Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
closed-end, management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide stable dividends consistent with the preservation of
capital, exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, where
applicable, by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) (the "Codification") as the single
source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification supersedes existing
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The Codification
did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance
within the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification
became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification did not have a material effect
on the Funds' financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
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 or, in the absence of a pricing service for a
particular investment, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, or its designee, may
establish fair value using a wide variety of market data including yields or
prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and
rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations
of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other
information and analysis, including the obligor's credit characteristics
considered relevant. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates 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 September 30, 2009, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Interest income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its 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, 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.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the
Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those
that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally
46 Nuveen Investments
the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore,
management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to 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 at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to 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 US generally accepted
accounting principles.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to 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 for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the
Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to
tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate
bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment
in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as "(IF) - Inverse floating rate investment." An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction. In
such instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as "(UB) - Underlying bond of an
inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing transaction," 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 recognizes the related interest paid to the holders of the
short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest expense on floating rate
obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended September 30, 2009, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund
agrees to reimburse the broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the
difference between the liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the
trust and the liquidation value of the floating rate certificates issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as
"Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.
At September 30, 2009, the Funds were not invested in externally-deposited
Recourse Trusts.

Derivative Instruments
Each Fund is authorized to invest in derivative instruments, including foreign
currency forwards, futures, options and swap contracts. Although the Funds are
authorized to invest in such derivative instruments, and may do so in the
future, they did not make any such investments during the six months ended
September 30, 2009.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to 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 Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% 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.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
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 US 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 from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ
from those estimates.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In determining the value of each Fund's investments various inputs are used.
These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a
summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of September 30, 2009:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted amendments to authoritative
guidance under GAAP on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging
activities. This guidance is intended to enhance financial statement disclosures
for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to better
understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments; b) how derivative
instruments are accounted for; and c) how derivative instruments affect a fund's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows, if any. The Funds
record derivative instruments at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized on the Statement of Operations, when applicable. Even though the
Funds' investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, under this
guidance they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for financial
reporting purposes. The Funds did not invest in derivative instruments during
the six months ended September 30, 2009.

6. 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 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
securities reflected as financing transactions, if any. 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.

7. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned 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 of each Fund as follows:
SELECT TAX-FREE 2 (NXQ)
SELECT TAX-FREE 3 (NXR)
CALIFORNIA SELECT TAX-FREE (NXC)
SELECT TAX-FREE (NXP) NEW YORK SELECT TAX-FREE (NXN)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (1) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .0500% .1000%
For the next $125 million .0375 .0875
For the next $250 million .0250 .0750
For the next $500 million .0125 .0625
==========================================================================================================
|
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 net assets managed as stated in the following
table. As of September 30, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was .1901%.
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL NET ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989
$60 billion .1961
$63 billion .1931
$66 billion .1900
$71 billion .1851
$76 billion .1806
$80 billion .1773
$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
==========================================================================================================
|
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed net assets of all Nuveen
funds, with such daily managed net assets defined separately for each fund
in its management agreement, but excluding assets attributable to
investments in other Nuveen funds. For the complex-level and fund-level
fee components, daily managed net assets include assets managed by the
Adviser that are attributable to financial leverage. For these purposes,
financial leverage includes the funds use of preferred stock and
borrowings and investments in the residual interest certificates (also
called inverse floating rate securities) in tender option bond (TOB)
trusts, including the portion of assets held by the TOB trust that has
been effectively financed by the trust's issuance of floating rate
securities, subject to an agreement by the Adviser to limit the amount of
such assets for determining managed net assets in certain circumstances.
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.

8. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets
During June 2009, the FASB issued changes to the authoritative guidance under
GAAP on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The objective of this
guidance is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a
transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a
transferor's continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first
annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods
within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting
periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and
measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring
on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this
guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the
effective date of this guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the
implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial
statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Distributions to Shareholders
The Funds declared dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net investment
income which were paid on November 2, 2009, to shareholders of record on October

===========================================================================================================================
|
Evaluation Date
In May 2009, the FASB issued changes to authoritative guidance under GAAP for
subsequent events. This guidance requires an entity to recognize in the
financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide
additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance
sheet. This guidance is intended to establish general standards of accounting
and for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance
requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date - that is, whether that date
represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be
issued. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009. The Funds have performed an evaluation of subsequent events
through November 25, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were
issued.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in net
asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested
capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend
declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day
of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net
asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in
the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net
asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the
calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** Annualized.
*** Expense ratios do not reflect the reduction of custodian fee credits
earned on the Fund's net cash on deposit with the custodian bank, where
applicable.
(a) The expense ratios in the above table reflect, among other things, the
interest expense deemed to have been paid by the Fund on the floating rate
certificates issued by the special purpose trusts for the self-deposited
inverse floaters held by the Fund, as described in Footnote 1 - Inverse
Floating Rate Securities.
(b) For the six months ended September 30, 2009.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in net
asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and reinvested
capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last dividend
declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first business day
of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending net
asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend declared in
the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and not its net
asset value), and therefore may be different from the price used in the
calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in
substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its
investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its
continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including
by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory
agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "Independent Board
Members"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering
such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members must
request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such
information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory
agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 27-29, 2009 (the "May
Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be) (each, a
"Board" and each Trustee or Director, a "Board Member") of the Funds, including
a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the
continuation of the advisory agreements (each an "Advisory Agreement") between
each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held
a separate meeting on April 21-22, 2009 (the "April Meeting"). Accordingly, the
factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the
Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.
In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board
Members reviewed a broad range of information relating to the Funds and NAM,
including absolute performance, fee and expense information for the Funds as
well as comparative performance, fee and expense information for a comparable
peer group of funds, the performance information of recognized and/or customized
benchmarks (as applicable) of the Funds, the profitability of Nuveen for its
advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries other than
Winslow Capital Management, Inc. ("Winslow Capital"), which was recently
acquired in December 2008), and other information regarding the organization,
personnel, and services provided by NAM. The Independent Board Members also met
quarterly as well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took
into account the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained
therefrom. Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the
Independent Board Members reviewed the foregoing information with their
independent legal counsel and with management, reviewed materials from
independent legal counsel describing applicable law and their duties in
reviewing advisory contracts, and met with independent legal counsel in private
sessions without management present. The Independent Board Members considered
the legal advice provided by independent legal counsel and relied upon their
knowledge of NAM, its services and the Funds resulting from their meetings and
other interactions throughout the year and their own business judgment in
determining the factors to be considered in evaluating
60 Nuveen Investments
the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have accorded different weight to
the various factors in reaching his or her conclusions with respect to a Fund's
Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board Members did not identify any single
factor as all-important or controlling. The Independent Board Members'
considerations were instead based on a comprehensive consideration of all the
information presented. The principal factors considered by the Board and its
conclusions are described below.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members
considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, including advisory
services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed
materials outlining, among other things, NAM's organization and business; the
types of services that NAM 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 had taken for the applicable
fund product line.
In reviewing the services provided and the initiatives undertaken during the
past year, the Independent Board Members recognized the severe market turmoil
experienced in the capital markets during recent periods, including sustained
periods of high volatility, credit disruption and government intervention. The
Independent Board Members considered NAM's efforts, expertise and other actions
taken to address matters as they arose that impacted the Funds. The Independent
Board Members recognized the role of the Investment Services group which, among
other things, monitors the various positions throughout the Nuveen fund complex
to identify and address any systematic risks. In addition, the Capital Markets
Committee of NAM provides a multi-departmental venue for developing new policies
to mitigate any risks. The Independent Board Members further recognized NAM's
continuous review of the Nuveen funds' investment strategies and mandates in
seeking to continue to refine and improve the investment process for the funds,
particularly in light of market conditions. With respect to closed-end funds
that issued auction rate preferred shares ("ARPs") or that otherwise utilize
leverage, the Independent Board Members noted, in particular, NAM's efforts in
refi-nancing the preferred shares of such funds frozen by the collapse of the
auction rate market and managing leverage during a period of rapid market
declines, particularly for the non-equity funds. Such efforts included
negotiating and maintaining the availability of bank loan facilities and other
sources of credit used for investment purposes or to satisfy liquidity needs,
liquidating portfolio securities during difficult times to meet leverage ratios,
and seeking alternative forms of debt and other leverage that may over time
reduce financing costs associated with ARPs and enable the funds that have
issued ARPs to restore liquidity to ARPs holders. The Independent Board Members
also noted Nuveen's continued commitment and efforts to keep investors and
financial advisers informed as to its progress with the ARPs through, among
other things, conference calls, emails, press releases, information posted on
its website, and telephone calls and in-person meetings with financial advisers.
In addition to the foregoing, the Independent Board Members also noted the
additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds,
including, in particular, Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the
secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds
Nuveen Investments 61
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and analyst awareness
and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include maintaining an
investor relations program to provide timely information and education to
financial advisers and investors; providing advertising and marketing for the
closed-end funds; maintaining websites; and providing educational seminars.
As part of their review, the Independent Board Members also evaluated the
background, experience and track record of NAM's investment personnel. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered any changes in the personnel,
and the impact on the level of services provided to the Funds, if any. The
Independent Board Members also reviewed information regarding portfolio manager
compensation arrangements to evaluate NAM's ability to attract and retain high
quality investment personnel, preserve stability, and reward performance but not
provide an incentive for taking undue risks.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including
product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers,
shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and
portfolio compliance and legal support. Given the importance of compliance, the
Independent Board Members considered NAM's compliance program, including the
report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance policies
and procedures.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the
nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to
the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM
The Board considered the investment performance of 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 provider of mutual fund data as well as recognized
and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable). The Independent Board Members
reviewed performance information including, among other things, total return
information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer Group and recognized
and/or customized benchmarks (as applicable) for the quarter-, one-, three- and
five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31, 2008 and for the same
periods (as applicable) ending March 31, 2009. The Independent Board Members
also reviewed performance information of the Nuveen municipal funds managed by
NAM in the aggregate ranked by peer group and the performance of such funds, in
the aggregate, relative to their benchmark. This information supplemented the
Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of its quarterly
meetings.
In comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the
Independent Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer
Group in certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund's
investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison
of the fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group. The
Independent Board Members further considered the performance of the Funds in the
context of the volatile
62 Nuveen Investments
market conditions during the past year, and their impact on various asset
classes and the portfolio management of the Funds.
Based on their review and factoring in the severity of market turmoil in 2008,
the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's investment performance
over time had been satisfactory.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund
reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees, net
management fees and total expense ratios (before and after expense
reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as compared to
the fee and expenses of a comparable universe of unaffiliated funds based
on data provided by an independent fund data provider (the "Peer
Universe") and in certain cases, to a more focused subset of funds in the
Peer Universe (the "Peer Group").
The Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding the
construction of the applicable Peer Universe and Peer Group. In reviewing
the comparisons of fee and expense information, the Independent Board
Members took into account that in certain instances various factors such
as the asset level of a fund relative to peers, the size and particular
composition of the Peer Universe or Peer Group, the investment objectives
of the peers, expense anomalies, changes in the funds comprising the Peer
Universe or Peer Group from year to year, levels of reimbursement and the
timing of information used may impact the comparative data, thereby
limiting the ability to make a meaningful comparison. In addition, the
Independent Board Members considered, among other things, the differences
in the use and type of leverage compared to the peers. The Independent
Board Members also considered the differences in the states reflected in
the respective Peer Group. In reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the
Independent Board Members also 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 closed-end funds launched since 1999).
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the
Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees and
net total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and
quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding the
nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients. Such
other clients include NAM's municipal separately managed accounts. In
evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board Members noted
that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other clients vary, among
other things, because of the different services involved and the
additional regulatory and compliance requirements associated with
registered investment companies, such as the Funds. Accordingly, the
Independent Board Members considered the differences in the product types,
including, but not limited
Nuveen Investments 63
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
to, the services provided, the structure and operations, product
distribution and costs thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor
profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board
Members noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the
Funds (as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to
separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the
products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds, the
Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different levels
of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members also
considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory activities (which
incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers other than
Winslow Capital) and its financial condition. The Independent Board
Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory activities
for the last two years, the allocation methodology used in preparing the
profitability data and an analysis of the key drivers behind the changes
in revenues and expenses that impacted profitability in 2008. In addition,
the Independent Board Members reviewed information regarding the financial
results of Nuveen for 2008 based on its Form 8-K filed on March 31, 2009.
The Independent Board Members noted this information supplemented 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 Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed
an Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them
apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies
during the year. The Independent Board Members also considered Nuveen's
revenues for advisory activities, expenses, and profit margin compared to
that of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of
assets under management and relatively comparable asset composition
prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized the
subjective nature of determining profitability which may be affected by
numerous factors including the allocation of expenses. Further, the
Independent Board Members 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 Independent Board Members
reviewed Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses
across product lines to determine profitability. In reviewing
profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's
investment in its fund business.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that
Nuveen's level of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable
in light of the services provided.
64 Nuveen Investments
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent
Board Members also considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as
well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any)
NAM and its affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are
directly attributable to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section
E below for additional information on indirect benefits NAM may receive as
a result of its relationship with the Funds. Based on their review of the
overall fee arrangements of each Fund, the Independent Board Members
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 Independent Board Members have
recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being
spread over a larger asset base, although economies of scale are difficult to
measure and predict with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. One
method to help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits is to include
breakpoints in the advisory fee schedule. Generally, management fees for funds
in the Nuveen complex are comprised of a fund-level component and a
complex-level component, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, the
Independent Board Members reviewed and considered the applicable fund-level
breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as asset
levels increase. In this regard, the Independent Board Members noted that
although closed-end funds may from time-to-time make additional share offerings,
the growth of their assets will occur primarily through the appreciation of such
funds' investment portfolio. While economies of scale result when costs can be
spread over a larger asset base, the Independent Board Members also recognized
that the asset levels generally declined in 2008 due to, among other things, the
market downturn. Accordingly, for funds with a reduction in assets under
management, advisory fee levels may have increased as breakpoints in the fee
schedule were no longer surpassed.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered
the Funds' complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee
arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex generally are reduced
as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. The complex-wide fee
arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund
shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a
particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the
notion that some of Nuveen's costs are attributable to services provided to all
its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are
spread over a larger asset base. Generally, the complex-wide pricing reduces
Nuveen's revenue because total complex fund assets have consistently grown in
prior years. As noted, however, total fund assets declined in 2008 resulting in
a smaller downward adjustment of revenues due to complex-wide pricing compared
to the prior year.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the
breakpoint schedules and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and
reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under
management increase.
Nuveen Investments 65
Annual Investment Management Agreement Approval Process (continued)
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered
information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits NAM or its
affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates
of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM
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 NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The
Independent Board Members 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.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect
benefits received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Funds were
reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed
previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Advisory
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

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
Nuveen Investments 67
Reinvest Automatically Easily and Conveniently (continued)
per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the
acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid
in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage
commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These
commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report
o AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
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 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.
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.

Glossary of Terms Used in this Report (continued)
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 NAV per share is calculated by subtracting
the liabilities of 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 PRE-REFUNDING: Pre-refunding, also known as advanced refundings or
refinancings, is a procedure used by state and local governments to
refinance municipal bonds to lower interest expenses. The issuer sells new
bonds with a lower yield and uses the proceeds to buy U.S. Treasury
securities, the interest from which is used to make payments on the
higher-yielding bonds. Because of this collateral, pre-refunding generally
raises a bond's credit rating and thus its value.
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.
o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest
coupon to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to
the holder of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the
original purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the
bond at maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of
zero coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of
bonds that pay interest periodically.
