Chairman's
Letter to Shareholders
[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER]
DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
The economic environment in which your Fund operates reflects continuing but
uneven economic recovery. The U.S. and other major industrial countries are
experiencing steady but comparatively low levels of economic growth, while
emerging market countries are seeing a resumption of relatively strong economic
expansion. The potential impact of steps being considered by many governments to
counteract the extraordinary governmental spending and credit expansion to deal
with the recent financial and economic crisis is injecting uncertainty into
global financial markets. The implications for future tax rates, government
spending, interest rates and the pace of economic recovery in the U.S. and other
leading economies are extremely difficult to predict at the present time. The
long term health of the global economy depends on restoring some measure of
fiscal discipline around the world, but since all of the corrective steps
require economic pain, it is not surprising that governments are reluctant to
undertake them.
In the near term, governments remain committed to furthering economic recovery
and realizing a meaningful reduction in their national unemployment rates. Such
an environment should produce continued economic growth and, consequently,
attractive investment opportunities. Over the longer term, the larger
uncertainty mentioned earlier carries the risk of unexpected potholes in the
road to sustained recovery. For this reason, Nuveen's investment management
teams are working hard to balance return and risk by building well-diversified
portfolios, among other strategies. I encourage you to read the following
commentary on the management of your Fund. As always, I also encourage you to
contact your financial consultant if you have any questions about your Nuveen
Fund investment. Please consult the Nuveen website for the most recent
information on your Nuveen Fund at: 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
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL MARKET ENVIRONMENTS DURING
THE TWELVE-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2010?
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. As the
period began, there continued to be considerable downward pressure on the
economy and both the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the federal government continued
their efforts to improve the overall economic environment. For its part, the Fed
continued to hold the benchmark fed funds rate in a target range of zero to
0.25% after cutting it to this record low level in December 2008. At its June
2010 meeting (following the end of this reporting period), the central bank
renewed its pledge to keep the fed funds rate "exceptionally low" for an
"extended period." As part of its efforts, the federal government put into place
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a $787 billion economic
stimulus package intended to provide job creation, tax relief, fiscal assistance
to state and local governments and expansion of unemployment benefits and other
federal social welfare programs.
In recent months, these and other measures taken by the Fed and the government
to ease the economic recession have produced some incipient signs of
improvement. In the first quarter of 2010, the U.S. economy, as measured by the
U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), grew at an annualized rate of 2.7%. This
marked the first time since 2007 that the economy managed to string together
three consecutive positive quarters. Housing also provided something of a bright
spot, as the average home price gained 3.8% for the twelve months ended April
2010, the largest year-over-year increase since September 2006. At the same
time, inflation continued to be relatively tame, as the

Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.0% year-over-year as of May 2010, driven
mainly by increased prices for gasoline and fuel oil. The core CPI (which
excludes food and energy) rose 0.9% over the year, the slowest pace since 1966
and within the Fed's official objective of 2.0% or lower for this measure. While
labor markets remained weak, recent months saw some improvement. As of May 2010,
the national unemployment rate was 9.7%, up from 9.4% in May 2009 but below the
26-year high of 10.1% in October 2009.
Municipal market conditions began to show general signs of improvement
throughout most of the period. This trend was bolstered by the reduced issuance
of tax-exempt municipal debt, due in part to the introduction of the Build
America Bond program in 2009. Build America Bonds are a new class of taxable
municipal debt, created as part of the February 2009 economic stimulus package.
These bonds currently offer municipal issuers a federal subsidy equal to 35% of
the security's interest payments and therefore provide issuers with an
attractive alternative to traditional tax-exempt debt. During the twelve months
ended May 31, 2010, taxable Build America Bonds issuance totaled $95.9 billion,
accounting for over 22% of new bonds issued in the municipal market.
Over the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, municipal bond issuance
nationwide--both tax-exempt and taxable--totaled $428.1 billion, an increase of
17% compared with the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2009. Although total
municipal issuance rose during this twelve months, supply actually would have
fallen approximately 9% without the Build America Bonds issuance. Demand for
tax-exempt bonds remained strong during this period, supported in part by the
prospect of higher tax rates in the future. Combined with the lower supply of
tax-exempt bonds, this provided support for municipal bond prices.
HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, AND
MISSOURI DURING THIS PERIOD?
Over the past twelve months, Connecticut's economy was led by the education and
health services, government, professional and business services, and retail
trade sectors. As home to 45 colleges and universities, the state serves as a
center for research and development facilities and high-tech industries,
including bioscience, aerospace, medical technology and defense. Despite the
economic recession, the education and health services sector continued to add
jobs, as did the leisure and hospitality sectors in the state. However,
Connecticut remained heavily reliant on manufacturing, where job losses
continued to mount. As of May 2010, the unemployment rate in Connecticut was
8.9%, up from 8.2% in May 2009 but below its recent high of 9.2% in March 2010.
On a more positive note, home prices in the state, while considerably below
their 2007 peak, have posted modest gains in recent months, and residential
construction has firmed. As of May 2010, Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S&P) and
Fitch rated Connecticut general obligation debt at Aa2/AA/AA, respectively.
Moody's assigned a negative outlook to the state, while S&P and Fitch maintained
stable outlooks. Issuance of municipal debt in Connecticut during the twelve
months ended May 31, 2010, totaled $7.0 billion, an increase of 15.5% over the
previous twelve months.
The Massachusetts economy remained relatively diverse, with growth led by
education and health services, professional and business services, government
and retail trade.
Nuveen Investments 3
Half of Massachusetts's ten largest employers were medical centers or
universities, and the education and health services sectors accounted for almost
20% of the commonwealth's economy, compared with 14% nationally. The education
and health services sectors continued to add jobs even as other sectors turned
negative, adding stability in the area of employment. As of May 2010, the
jobless rate in Massachusetts had risen to 9.2% from 8.2% in May 2009, but
remained below the recent high of 9.5% in early 2010. While certain sectors of
the commonwealth's economy, notably construction and manufacturing, have been
under pressure from the recession, Massachusetts has fared better economically
than many other states. The $27 billion fiscal 2011 budget cut aid to local
governments by 4%, reduced funding for higher education, but included no new
taxes. As of May 2010, Moody's, S&P and Fitch rated Massachusetts general
obligation debt at Aa1/AA/AA+, respectively, with stable outlooks. For the
twelve months ended May 31, 2010, new municipal supply in Massachusetts totaled
$12.6 billion, an increase of 2% from the previous twelve months, making the
commonwealth the sixth largest state issuer in the nation.
Although characterized by a high level of industrial diversity, Missouri's
economy has remained largely centered on manufacturing. With the
recession-related decline in consumer spending and a significant drop in demand
for durable goods, both domestically and abroad, employment in the state's
manufacturing sector, especially the auto industry, suffered major losses and
prospects for new jobs have remained limited. In May 2010, the jobless rate in
Missouri was 9.3%, down slightly from 9.4% in May 2009 and below the recent high
of 9.7% seen during the third quarter of 2009. In response to the employment
situation, Missouri has focused recent efforts on transitioning part of its
economy away from traditional manufacturing jobs into the development of the
biotechnology and alternative energy industries. For fiscal 2011, the $23.8
billion state budget focuses on job creation, education, and health care.
Missouri's tax structure currently provides companies with some of the most
favorable tax conditions in the country, an important advantage in attracting
businesses to the state. As of May 2010, Moody's, S&P, and Fitch maintained
their ratings on Missouri general obligation debt at Aaa/AAA/AAA, respectively,
with stable outlooks, reflecting the state's conservative fiscal management and
low debt burden. During the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, municipal issuance
in Missouri was up 65% from the previous twelve-month period, to $7.7 billion.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THIS REPORTING
PERIOD?
As previously mentioned, the availability of tax-exempt bonds declined
nationally during this period, due in part to the introduction of taxable Build
America Bonds in April 2009. Build America Bond issuance over this period,
represented approximately 15% of municipal supply in Connecticut, 20% in
Massachusetts and 22% in Missouri. Since interest payments from Build America
Bonds represent taxable income, we do not view these bonds as good investment
opportunities for these Funds.
4 Nuveen Investments
In NGX, the tighter supply situation was compounded by the severe decline in
issuance of AAA-rated insured bonds. Over the past year, new insured paper
accounted for approximately 6% of issuance nationwide, compared with more than
12% a year earlier and recent historical levels of approximately 50%. In
response to this situation, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved changes to
NGX's investment policies that increased its investment flexibility while
retaining the insured nature of its portfolio. NGX can now invest at least 80%
of its net assets in municipal securities that are covered by insurance from
insurers with a claims-paying ability rated at least BBB- at the time of
purchase. In addition, the Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in
uninsured investment-grade credits rated BBB- or higher. The investment policy
changes are discussed in more detail on page eleven.
Despite the constrained issuance on tax-exempt municipal bonds, we continued to
find attractive value opportunities, taking a bottom-up approach to discovering
undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to perform well
over the long term. In the Connecticut Funds, we found value in several areas of
the market, including health care, housing and dedicated tax bonds. In addition,
NTC bought Connecticut general obligation (GO) bonds and NGO added higher
education credits. The Massachusetts Funds also purchased health care and higher
education bonds as well as credits issued for continuing care retirement centers
(long-term care). We also added bonds issued for WGBH, Boston's public
broadcasting service. In Missouri, we purchased higher quality school district
GOs, lower-rated health care bonds, and both insured and uninsured airport
revenue bonds.
Some of our investment activity during this period was driven by opportunities
created by the provisions of the Build America Bond program. For example,
tax-exempt supply was more plentiful in the health care and higher education
sectors because, as 501(c)(3) (nonprofit) organizations, hospitals and private
universities generally do not qualify for the Build America Bond program and
must continue to issue bonds in the tax-exempt municipal market. In addition,
health care entities were active issuers during this period, as they sought to
replace variable rate issuance with fixed rates. Refunding issues also are not
covered by the Build America Bond program, and this resulted in attractive
opportunities in various other sectors of the market.
The impact of the Build America Bond program was also evident in the area of
longer-term issuance, as municipal issuers sought to take full advantage of the
attractive financing terms offered by these bonds. Approximately 70% of Build
America Bonds were issued with maturities of at least 30 years or more. Even
though this significantly reduced the availability of tax-exempt credits with
longer maturities, we continued to find good opportunities to purchase
attractive longer-term bonds for these Funds. During this period, the
Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds generally focused on bonds in the 25-year to
30-year part of the yield curve offering 5% coupons or higher. These bonds
helped us to maintain the Funds' durations within our target range and also
rewarded investors as the yield curve remained relatively steep.
Cash for new purchases during this period was generated primarily by the
proceeds from called and maturing bonds, which we worked to redeploy to keep the
Funds fully invested. In NMT, we also trimmed our position in bonds with shorter
maturities. On the
Nuveen Investments 5
whole, however, selling was relatively limited during this period, as the bonds
in our portfolios generally offered higher yields than those available in the
current marketplace.
As of May 31, 2010, all eight Funds continued to use inverse floating rate
securities.(1) We employ inverse floaters as a form of leverage for a variety of
reasons, including duration management as well as income and total return
enhancement.

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
Funds 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) Municipal Bond Indexes for Connecticut and
Massachusetts are unleveraged, market value-weighted indexes designed to
measure the performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade Connecticut
and Massachusetts municipal bond markets, respectively. These indexes do
not reflect any initial or ongoing expenses and are not available for
direct investment.
3 The Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
performance of the tax-exempt, investment-grade U.S. municipal bond
market, while the S&P National Insured Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, market value-weighted index designed to measure the
performance of the insured segment of the U.S. municipal bond market.
There is no S&P state municipal bond index for Missouri. These indexes do
not reflect any initial or ongoing expenses and are not available for
direct investment.
4 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 funds; 5-year, 46 funds; and 10-year, 18 funds. Lipper
returns account for the effects of management fees and assume reinvestment
of dividends, but do not reflect any applicable sales charges. The Lipper
average is not available for direct investment.
5 The Lipper Single-State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated
using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in this category
for each period as follows: 1-year, 44 funds; 5-year, 44 funds; and
10-year, 24 funds. Lipper returns account for the effects of management
fees and assume reinvestment of dividends, but do not reflect any
applicable sales charges. The Lipper average is not available for direct
investment.

For the twelve months ended May 31, 2010, the total returns on common share net
asset value (NAV) for all seven of the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds
exceeded the returns for their respective state's Standard & Poor's (S&P)
Municipal Bond Index. The seven uninsured Funds outperformed the S&P National
Municipal Bond Index, and NGX outperformed the S&P National Insured Municipal
Bond Index. For the same period, NMT and NOM exceeded the average return for the
Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average, while the four Connecticut
Funds and NMB lagged this Lipper average, NGX trailed the average return for the
Lipper Single State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average. Shareholders should
note that the performance of the Lipper Other States category represents the
overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a wide
variety of municipal market conditions, which may make direct comparisons less
meaningful.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included duration and yield curve positioning, credit exposure and sector
allocation. In addition, the use of structural leverage was an important
positive factor during this period. The impact of structural leverage is
discussed in more detail on page eight.
During this period, bonds with longer maturities generally outperformed those
with shorter maturities, with bonds at the longest end of the yield curve
posting the strongest returns. The outperformance of longer term bonds was due
in part to the decline in interest rates, particularly at the longer end of the
curve. The scarcity of tax-exempt bonds with longer maturities also drove up the
prices of these bonds. Overall, NTC, NMT, NMB, and NOM were the best positioned
in terms of yield curve positioning and duration. In NGX, which had the shortest
duration among the Massachusetts Funds, yield curve positioning and duration was
also a positive contributor to performance, but on a smaller scale than in NMT
and NMB. The performances of NFC, NGK and NGO were restrained by their
overweightings in the underperforming short end of the yield curve. Some of this
overweight was due to the fact that much of the issuance in Connecticut came to
market with shorter maturities. NTC, on the other hand, had a longer duration as
the result of more bond calls and reinvestment at the longer end of the curve,
which benefited its performance.
Credit exposure also played an important role in the performance of these Funds.
The demand for municipal bonds increased during this period, 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 tax-exempt municipal paper declined, due
largely to the Build America Bond program. 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 Funds' performance benefited from
their allocations to lower quality credits. All of the Funds except NGX were
overweighted in lower-rated bonds, and several Funds also were underweighted in
bonds rated AAA, which further boosted their performance. As an insured Fund,
NGX had the smallest exposure to lower-rated and non-rated credits and, together
with NGK and NFC, the largest allocation of AAA bonds. This overall higher
credit quality hampered NGX's relative performance for the period.
Nuveen Investments 7
Overall, sector allocations were a positive factor for the Funds' performance
during this period. Holdings that generally contributed to the Funds' returns
included industrial development revenue (IDR) and health care bonds, both of
which exceeded the overall municipal market return by substantial margins.
Revenue bonds as a whole performed well, with transportation, housing and
special tax among the other sectors that outperformed the general municipal
market for this period. Zero coupon bonds also were among the strongest
performers. All of these Funds benefited from their overweights in health care
and the returns of the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds were enhanced by
their overexposures to housing. The Massachusetts Funds also had an
overweighting to IDRs and bonds in the other revenue category, specifically
dedicated tax credits.
In contrast, pre-refunded bonds, which are often backed by U.S. Treasury
securities, performed relatively poorly during this period. The underperformance
of these bonds can be attributed primarily to their shorter effective maturities
and higher credit quality. Among the revenue sectors, education, electric
utilities, water and sewer and resource recovery trailed the overall municipal
market by small margins, while many general obligation and other tax-supported
bonds also failed to keep pace with the market for the twelve months. NFC, NGK,
NGO, NGX and NOM all were overweighted in pre-refunded bonds relative to the
market, with NGO and NGX having the highest allocations. The Connecticut and
Massachusetts Funds also had heavy exposures to higher education credits, which
underperformed due to their higher credit quality. On the other hand, all of
these Funds were underweighted in tax-supported securities, which lessened the
impact of the underperformance of these bonds.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One important factor impacting the returns of these Funds relative to the
comparative indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. The Funds use
leverage because their managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides
opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders.
However, use of leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional
volatility. For example, as the prices of securities held by a Fund decline, the
negative impact of these valuation changes on common share net asset value and
common shareholder total return is magnified by the use of leverage. Conversely,
leverage may enhance common share returns during periods when bond prices
generally are rising.
Leverage made a positive contribution to the performance of these Funds over
this reporting period.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FUNDS' LEVERAGED CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Shortly after their inceptions, each of the Funds issued auction rate preferred
shares (ARPS) to create financial leverage. As noted in past shareholder
reports, the ARPS issued by many closed-end funds, including these Funds, have
been hampered by a lack of liquidity since February 2008. Since that time, more
ARPS have been submitted for sale in each of their regularly scheduled auctions
than there have been offers to buy. In fact, offers to buy have been almost
completely non-existent since late February 2008.
8 Nuveen Investments
This means that these auctions have "failed to clear," and that many, or all, of
the ARPS shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. This lack of liquidity in ARPS did not lower the credit quality
of these shares, and ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares continued to
receive distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions, as
calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the ARPS. In the
recent market, with short-term rates at multi-generational lows, those maximum
rates also have been low.
One continuing implication for common shareholders from the auction failures is
that each Fund's cost of leverage likely has been incrementally higher at times
than it otherwise might have been had the auctions continued to be successful.
As a result, each Fund's common share earnings likely have been incrementally
lower at times than they otherwise might have been.
As noted in past shareholder reports, the Nuveen funds' Board of
Directors/Trustees authorized several methods to refinance a portion of the
Nuveen funds' outstanding ARPS. Some funds have utilized tender option bonds
(TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, for leverage purposes. The
amount of TOBs that a fund may use varies according to the composition of each
fund's portfolio. Some funds have a greater ability to use TOBs than others.
Some funds have issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred (VRDP) Shares, but these
issuances have been limited since it has been difficult to find liquidity
providers on economically viable terms given the constrained credit environment.
Some funds have issued MuniFund Term Preferred (MTP) Shares, a fixed rate form
of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption period of five years.
While all these efforts have reduced the total amount of outstanding ARPS issued
by the Nuveen funds, the funds cannot provide any assurance on when the
remaining outstanding ARPS might be redeemed.
At the time this report was prepared, thirty Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds
received a demand letter from a law firm on behalf of some common shareholders
of each fund alleging that Nuveen and the fund's officers and Board of
Directors/Trustees breached their fiduciary duties related to the redemption at
par of the fund's ARPS. After an extensive independent review, on July 14, 2010,
the Board of Directors/Trustees announced that each fund had rejected the
demands contained in the letters. As a result, the Board of Directors/Trustees
has resumed consideration of additional ARPS refinancing. Any future
determinations by the Board of Directors/Trustees to refinance a specific fund's
ARPS will continue to be based upon a review of the fund's specific
circumstances, considering, among other factors, the availability and terms of
potential alternative sources of leverage, the receipt of applicable ratings and
other necessary approvals for such alternative sources of leverage, and overall
market conditions.

During this twelve-month reporting period, NOM filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) a registration statement seeking to register MTP
Shares. This registration statement, declared effective by the SEC, enables the
Fund to issue to the public MTP shares to refinance all or a portion of its
outstanding ARPS. The issuance of MTP Shares by the Fund is subject to market
and other conditions. There is no assurance that these MTP Shares will be
issued.
As of May 31, 2010, 83 out of the 84 Nuveen closed-end municipal funds that had
issued ARPS have redeemed at par all or a portion of these shares. These
redemptions bring the total amount of Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds' ARPS
redemptions to approximately $4.4 billion of the approximately $11.0 billion
originally outstanding. For up-to-date information, please visit the Nuveen CEF

RECENT CHANGES TO INVESTMENT POLICIES OF NUVEEN INSURED FUNDS
As a result of the "credit crunch" that began in 2007 and that led to the
financial crisis that peaked in late 2008, the financial strength ratings
assigned to most municipal bond insurers have been downgraded by the primary
ratings agencies. These ratings downgrades generally have reduced, and any
additional ratings downgrades may further reduce, the effective rating of many
of the bonds insured by those bond insurers, including bonds held by the funds.
This in turn has sharply reduced, and in some cases may have eliminated, the
value provided by such insurance. Nonetheless, the insured funds' holdings
continue to be well diversified and on the whole, the underlying credit quality
of its holdings, including NGX, are of medium to high quality. It is also
important to note that municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of
default.
On May 3, 2010, the funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved changes to each
insured Fund's investment policies. The Board of Directors/Trustees took this
action in response to the continuing challenges faced by municipal bond
insurers. The changes to each fund's investment policies are intended to
increase the fund's investment flexibility in pursuing its investment objective,
while retaining the insured nature of its portfolio.
The changes, effective immediately, provide that under normal circumstances, the
insured funds invest at least 80% of their managed assets (as defined in
Footnote 7 - Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates) in
municipal securities that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely
payment of principal and interest. In addition, the municipal securities in
which each fund invests will be rated investment grade at the time of purchase
(based on the higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying
security) by at least one independent rating agency, or are unrated but judged
to be of similar credit quality by the Adviser, or are backed by an escrow or
trust account containing sufficient U.S. government or U.S. government agency
securities or U.S. Treasury-issued State and Local Government Series securities
to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. Inverse floating rate
securities whose underlying bonds are covered by insurance are included for
purposes of the 80%.

Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information
During the twelve-month reporting period ended May 31, 2010, NGK, NMB and NOM
each had three monthly dividend increases and NTC, NFC, NGO, NMT and NGX each
had two monthly dividend increases.
Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds
received capital gains or net ordinary income distributions at the end of
December 2009 as follows:
SHORT-TERM CAPITAL GAINS
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS AND/OR ORDINARY INCOME
FUND (PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTC $0.0041 --
NMB -- $0.0283
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, 2010, all eight
Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for both tax and financial
reporting purposes.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
Since the inception of the Funds' repurchase program, the Funds have not
repurchased any of their outstanding common shares.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, 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 Fund, Nuveen Insured Massachusetts
Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund, and Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal
Fund (the "Funds"), as of May 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations
and cash flows (except Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund) 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
five years in the period then ended. 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, 2010, 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
Fund, Nuveen Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund, and Nuveen
Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund at May 31, 2010, the results of their
operations and cash flows (except Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund)
for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
five years in the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The state 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) (collectively, the "Funds").
Common shares of Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium
Income (NMT) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") 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 NYSE Amex. 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 portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and
local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S. territories.
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 U.S. 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 U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
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. 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. 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 or derivative
instrument, 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 May 31, 2010, Missouri
Premium Income (NOM) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase
commitments of $1,987,280. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments
in any of the other Funds.
INVESTMENT INCOME
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
72 Nuveen Investments
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 that 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.
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 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 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 at least 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. GAAP.
AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SHARES
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares
("ARPS"), $25,000 stated value per share, which approximates market value, as a
means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's ARPS 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. As of May 31, 2010, the number of
ARPS outstanding for each Fund is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of shares:
Series TH 629 576 640
==================================================================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the ARPS issued by the Funds than there were offers to
buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many ARPS
shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do
so. ARPS shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with
the pre-established terms of the ARPS. As of May 31, 2010, the aggregate amount
of outstanding ARPS redeemed by each Fund is as follows:

MUNIFUND TERM PREFERRED SHARES
The following funds have issued and outstanding MuniFund Term Preferred ("MTP")
Shares, with a $10 stated value per share. Proceeds from the issuance of MTP
Shares, net of offering expenses, were used to redeem all, or a portion of, each
Fund's outstanding ARPS. Each Fund's MTP Shares are issued in one Series.
Dividends, which are recognized as interest expense for financial reporting
purposes, are paid monthly at a fixed annual rate subject to adjustments in
certain circumstances. The MTP Shares trade on the NYSE. As of May 31, 2010, the
number of MTP Shares outstanding, annual interest rate and NYSE "ticker" symbol

Each Fund is obligated to redeem its MTP Shares by the date as specified in its
offering document ("Term Redemption Date"), unless earlier redeemed or
repurchased by the Fund. MTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory
redemption in certain circumstances. MTP Shares will be subject to redemption at
the option of each Fund ("Optional Redemption Date"), subject to a payment of
premium for one year following the Optional Redemption Date ("Premium Expiration
Date"), and at par thereafter. MTP Shares also will be subject to redemption, at
the option of each Fund, at par in the event of certain changes in the credit
rating of the MTP Shares. Each Fund may be obligated to redeem certain of the
MTP Shares if the Fund fails to maintain certain asset coverage and leverage
ratio requirements and such failures are not cured by the applicable cure date.
The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per
share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The Term Redemption Date,

INSURANCE
Under normal circumstances, and during the period from June 1, 2009 through May
2, 2010, the Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) invested at least
80% of its net assets, (as defined in Footnote 7 - Management Fees and Other
Transactions with Affiliates) in municipal securities that were covered by
insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest. For
purposes of this 80%, insurers must have a claims paying ability rated at least
"A" at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency. In
addition, the Fund invested at least 80% of its net assets in municipal
securities that were rated at least "AA" at the time of purchase (based on the
higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying security) by at
least one independent rating agency, or are unrated but judged to be of similar
credit quality by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Nuveen, or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing
sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities or U.S.
Treasury-issued State and Local Government Series securities to ensure timely
payment of principal and interest. Inverse floating rate securities whose
underlying bonds are covered by insurance are included for purposes of the 80%.
Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities
rated below "AA' but at least "BBB" (based on the higher rating of the insurer,
if any, or the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable
quality by the Adviser.
On May 3, 2010, the Funds' Board of Trustees approved changes to Insured
Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage's (NGX) insurance investment policies in
response to the continuing challenges faced by municipal bond insurers. The
changes to Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX)'s investment policies
are intended to increase the Fund's investment flexibility in pursuing its
investment objective, while retaining the insured nature of its portfolio.
The changes, which were effective immediately, provide that under normal
circumstances, Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) invest at least
80% of its net assets in municipal securities that are covered by insurance
guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest. In addition, the
municipal securities in which Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX)
invests will be investment grade at the time of purchase (including (i) bonds
insured by investment grade insurers or rated investment grade; (ii) unrated
bonds that are judged to be investment grade by the Adviser; and (iii) escrowed
bonds). Ratings below BBB by one or more national rating agencies are considered
to be below investment grade.

| Financial Statements (continued)
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
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, and is reflected as an expense over the term of the policy,
when applicable. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market
value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset
value of the Fund include 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 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 a component of "Interest expense and
amortization of offering costs" on the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, 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 May 31, 2010, the Funds were not invested in externally-deposited Recourse
Trusts.

FORWARD SWAP CONTRACTS
Each Fund is authorized to enter into forward interest rate swap contracts
consistent with their investment objectives and policies to reduce, increase or
otherwise alter its risk profile or to alter its portfolio characteristics (i.e.
duration, yield curve positioning and credit quality).
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives. Each Fund's 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 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.
Forward interest rate swap contracts are valued daily. The net amount recorded
on these transactions for each counterparty is recognized on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as "Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward
swaps" with the change during the fiscal period recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of forward
swaps."
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. Net realized
gains and losses during the fiscal period are recognized on the Statement of
Operations as "Net realized gain (loss) from forward swaps." 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. The Funds did not invest in forward interest rate swap transactions
during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.
FUTURES CONTRACTS
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives and is authorized to invest in futures contracts in
attempt to manage such risk. 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." Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open
futures contracts, if any, is recognized as "Deposits with brokers for open
futures contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent
payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending
on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. Variation margin is
recognized as a receivable or payable for "Variation margin on futures
contracts" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a
daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract and is
recognized as "Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of futures
contracts" on the Statement of Operations. 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 and is recognized as "Net realized gain (loss) from
futures contracts" on the Statement of Operations.
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. The Funds did not invest in futures
contracts during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.

| Notes to
| Financial Statements (continued)
MARKET AND COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments
and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to
changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the
transaction to perform (counterparty credit risk). The potential loss could
exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements.
Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to counterparty credit
risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and
swap transactions, when applicable. The extent of each Fund's exposure to
counterparty credit risk in respect to these financial assets approximates their
carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures
contracts, when applicable, expose a Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk as
they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, which is counterparty
to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against
default.
Each Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only
with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor
their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of
the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be required to pledge
collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the financial asset) on behalf
of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized
gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an
unrealized loss, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the
Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the
unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are
monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the valuations fluctuate, either
up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
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. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally are more
volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest periodically.
OFFERING COSTS
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their offerings of MTP Shares
were recorded as a deferred charge, which will be amortized over the 5-year life
of the shares. Each Fund's amortized deferred charges are recognized as a
component of "Interest expense and amortization of offering costs" on the
Statement of Operations. Each Fund's offering costs incurred were as follows:

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 U.S. GAAP 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.

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 methodologies 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 May 31, 2010:

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 as detailed below. Temporary differences do not
require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the
net asset values of the Funds.
At May 31, 2010, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of
investments as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

7. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a fund-level fee,
based only on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and a
complex-level fee, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by
the Adviser. This pricing structure enables each Fund's shareholders to benefit
from growth in the assets within their respective Fund as well as from growth in
the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated
according to the following schedule:
CONNECTICUT PREMIUM INCOME (NTC)

The annual complex-level fee for each Fund, payable monthly, is calculated
according to the following schedule:
COMPLEX-LEVEL MANAGED ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL* EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989

$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
===================================================================================
* The complex-level fee is calculated based upon the aggregate daily managed
assets of all Nuveen funds, with such daily managed 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 fees, daily net assets and managed assets include
closed-end fund 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 certain 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 a 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
assets in certain circumstances. As of May 31, 2010, the complex-level fee
rate was .1855%.
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
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
On January 21, 2010, FASB issued changes to the authoritative guidance under
U.S. GAAP for fair value measurements. The objective of this guidance is to
provide guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and
disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose
i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both
recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for both Level 2 and Level 3
positions, ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) on a
gross basis (i.e., transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in)
as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements in the Level 3 rollforward must be shown on a gross basis rather
than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, however, the requirement to
provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on
a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of
this guidance and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and
footnote disclosures, if any.

(a) The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
(b) 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 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. 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.
(c) Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned
and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred
shares and/or MuniFund Term Preferred shares, where applicable.
(d) After expense reimbursement from Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not
reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash
on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
(e) The expense ratios reflect, among other things, payments to MuniFund Term
Preferred shareholders and/or 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,
where applicable, as described in Footnote 1 - MuniFund Term Preferred
Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.
* Rounds to less than $.01 per share.

(a) The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
(b) 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.

(a) The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
(b) 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 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. 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.
(c) Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
Preferred shareholders; Net Investment Income ratios reflect income earned
and expenses incurred on assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred
shares and/or MuniFund Term Preferred shares, where applicable.
(d) After expense reimbursement from Adviser, where applicable. Ratios do not
reflect the effect of custodian fee credits earned on the Fund's net cash
on deposit with the custodian bank, where applicable.
(e) The expense ratios reflect, among other things, payments to MuniFund Term
Preferred shareholders and/or 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,
where applicable, as described in Footnote 1 - MuniFund Term Preferred
Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.
* Rounds to less than $.01 per share.
** For the period February 9, 2010 (first issuance date of shares) through
May 31, 2010.
N/A Fund does not have a contractual reimbursement with the Adviser.

100 Nuveen Investments
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 25-26, 2010 (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, 2010 (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 and comparative performance, fee and expense information for
the Funds (as described in more detail below), the profitability of Nuveen for
its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned subsidiaries), 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 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
Nuveen Investments 101
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (continued)
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, including continued activities to refinance auction rate
preferred securities, manage leverage during periods of market turbulence and
implement an enhanced leverage management process, modify investment mandates in
light of market conditions and seek shareholder approval as necessary, maintain
the fund share repurchase program and maintain shareholder communications to
keep shareholders apprised of Nuveen's efforts in refinancing preferred shares.
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 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 marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining and
enhancing a closed-end fund website; participating in conferences and having
direct communications with analysts and financial advisors.
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 also considered NAM's compliance program, including
the report of the chief compliance officer regarding the Funds' compliance
policies and procedures.
102 Nuveen Investments
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 performance results of each Fund over various time
periods. The Board reviewed, among other things, each Fund's historic investment
performance as well as information comparing the Fund's performance information
with that of other funds (the "PERFORMANCE PEER GROUP") based on data provided
by an independent provider of mutual fund data and with recognized and/or
customized benchmarks. In this regard, the Board reviewed each Fund's total
return information compared to its Performance Peer Group for the quarter, one-,
three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2009 and for the same periods
ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for Funds that did not exist
during part of the foregoing time frame). In addition, the Board reviewed each
Fund's total return information compared to recognized and/or customized
benchmarks for the quarter, one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2009
and for the same periods ending March 31, 2010 (or for the periods available for
Funds that did not exist during part of the foregoing time frame). Moreover, the
Board reviewed the peer ranking of the Nuveen municipal funds advised by NAM in
the aggregate. The Independent Board Members also reviewed historic premium and
discount levels. This information supplemented the Fund performance information
provided to the Board at each of its quarterly meetings.
In reviewing peer comparison information, the Independent Board Members
recognized that the Performance Peer Group of certain funds may not adequately
represent the objectives and strategies of the funds, thereby limiting the
usefulness of comparing a fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer
Group. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered that the
Performance Peer Groups of certain funds (including the Funds) were classified
as having significant differences from such funds based on considerations such
as special fund objectives, potential investable universe and the composition of
the peer set (e.g., the number and size of competing funds and number of
competing managers).
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's
investment performance over time had been satisfactory. The Independent Board
Members noted that the Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and
the Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 outperformed or
matched the performance of their respective benchmarks in the one- and
three-year periods and that each other Fund outperformed the performance of its
respective benchmark in the one-year period but underperformed such benchmark in
the three-year period.

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 net expense ratios 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") and any expense limitations.
The Independent Board Members further reviewed the methodology regarding the
construction of the applicable Peer Universe and/or 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 limited 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; the timing
of information used; the differences in the type and use of leverage; and
differences in the states reflected in the Peer Universe or Peer Group may
impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the ability to make a
meaningful comparison with peers.
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). Except as set forth in the following sentence, the Independent
Board Members noted that the Funds had net management fees and/or net expense
ratios below, at or near (within 5 basis points or less) the peer averages of
their Peer Group or Peer Universe. The Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income
Municipal Fund, the Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income Municipal Fund and
the Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund had net advisory fees above
the peer average but net expense ratios below, at or near the peer expense
ratio average.
Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the
Independent Board Members determined that each Fund's management fees 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, including
municipal separately managed accounts and passively managed municipal bond
exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are sub-advised by NAM. 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 to, the services provided,
the structure and operations, product distribution and costs thereof,
portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and
104 Nuveen Investments
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) 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 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.
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
Nuveen Investments 105
Annual Investment Management Agreement
Approval Process (continued)
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. Further, 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.
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 are generally 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.
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.
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 any revenues received by
affiliates of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's trading desk and as
co-manager in initial public offerings of new closed-end funds.
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.
106 Nuveen Investments
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 AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest 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 compounding.
Just like distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains
taxes may be payable on 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 quarter you'll receive a
statement showing your total 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. Distributions received to purchase
shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
distribution payment date. No interest will be paid on distributions awaiting
reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before
purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may
108 Nuveen Investments
exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition
of fewer shares than if the 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.
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 financial 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 INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities, also known as inverse
floaters, 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.
110 Nuveen Investments
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 NAV per common share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing
the remainder by the number of common 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.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Connecticut 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).

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 pre-approval exception described above). The
Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about
any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last
fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The
Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's
independence.

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
the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under
$5,000.
ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
The registrant's Board has a separately designated 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, Terence J. Toth, William J. Schneider and
David J. Kundert.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
a) See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
b) Not applicable.
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 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 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 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 Connecticut 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 44 $8.311 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0
Other Accounts 0 $0
* Assets are as of May 31, 2010. 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 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 May 31, 2010, the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 55,306 securities with
an aggregate current market value of $1,205 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. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen
Investments, Inc., by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners in
November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit
interests in Nuveen's parent. These profit interests entitle the holders to
participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen beyond the issue date and
vest over five to seven years, or earlier in the case of a liquidity event. In
addition, in July 2009, Nuveen Investments created and funded a trust, as part
of a newly-established incentive program, which purchased shares of certain
Nuveen Mutual Funds and awarded such shares, subject to vesting, to certain
employees, including portfolio managers.
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, although the
allocation procedures may provide allocation preferences to funds with special
characteristics (such as favoring state funds versus national funds for
allocations of in-state bonds). In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct
that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of May 31, 2010, 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.
