WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2006?
During this reporting period, we saw a general increase in interest rates across
the yield curve, although rates at the long end of the curve remained more
stable than short-term rates during much of the period. Between June 1, 2005 and
May 31, 2006, the Federal Reserve announced eight increases of 0.25% each in the
fed funds rate, raising this short-term target by 200 basis points from 3% to
5%. By comparison, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note ended
May 2006 at 5.11%, up from 4.01% 12 months earlier, while the yield on the Bond
Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed measure of longer-term municipal
market rates, was 5.22% at the end of May 2006, an increase of 44 basis points
from the beginning of June 2005. As interest rates increased, bond valuations
generally declined, and the yield curve flattened as shorter-term rates
approached the levels of longer-term rates.
Even with rising interest rates, increased energy prices, and indications of
slowing momentum in the manufacturing sector, the economy remained resilient,
with a healthy pattern of growth. After expanding at a rate of 3.3% in the
second quarter of 2005, the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.1% in
the third quarter before slowing to 1.7% in the fourth quarter (all GDP numbers
annualized). In the first quarter of 2006, the GDP rebounded sharply to 5.6%,
fueled by upturns in consumer and federal spending and accelerated business
investment in equipment. The overall employment picture remained positive, with
national unemployment at 4.6% in May 2006, down from 5.1% in May 2005. Despite
an increase in inflation expectations, the year-over-year increase in the
Consumer Price Index as of May 2006 was 4.2%. However, during the first five
months of 2006, the pace of inflation picked up noticeably, rising at a rate of
5.2% annualized, compared with 3.4% for all of 2005.
Over the 12 months ended May 2006, municipal bond supply nationwide remained
strong, as $403.6 billion in new securities came to market, up 6% from the
previous 12 months. However, following record levels of issuance in calendar
year 2005, we saw a sharp
4
drop-off in supply during the first five months of 2006, when municipal issuance
totaled $133.8 billion, off 19% from the same period in 2005. A major factor in
2006's decline in supply was the substantial reduction in pre-refunding volume,
which dropped 56% from last year's levels as rising interest rates made advance
refundings less economically attractive to issuers. Overall, demand for
municipal bonds, especially those offering higher yields, continued to be strong
and broad-based, with retail investors, property and casualty insurance
companies, and hedge funds -- all participating in the market.
HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS IN CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS, AND
MISSOURI DURING THIS PERIOD?
With the highest per capita income in the nation, Connecticut's economy was
driven principally by manufacturing, financial services, education, and
healthcare during this period. The state also continued to rely heavily on the
defense industry, ranking fifth in terms of total defense dollars awarded to the
50 states. Approximately 25% of Connecticut's manufacturing jobs are
concentrated in the defense sector, and the rejection of the Pentagon's
recommendation to close the submarine base in New London saved 31,000 jobs
statewide. Recent job growth was led by the financial and professional and
business services sectors, while the shipbuilding industry continued to face job
cuts. Connecticut's jobless rate fell to 4.0% in May 2006, down from 5.0% in May
2005. Due to generally improving credit fundamentals and increased tax receipts,
Connecticut expected to end fiscal 2006 with a $337 million surplus, which will
not be sufficient to erase the state's general fund deficit. In February 2006,
Moody's reconfirmed its rating of Connecticut general obligation debt at Aa3
with a stable outlook, and Standard & Poor's confirmed its rating of AA.
Issuance of municipal debt in Connecticut during the 12 months ended May 31,
2006, was $6.1 billion, up 22% from the previous 12 months. For the first five
months of 2006, issuance declined 5%, to $1.7 billion, compared with the first
five months of 2005. According to Moody's, Connecticut's per capita debt level
was the one of the highest in the nation, and the per capita debt/per capita
income ratio was the third highest among the 50 states.
Massachusetts' economy remained diverse and fundamentally strong, led by
education, healthcare, financial services, and technology. However, mergers in
the financial sector have cost Massachusetts thousands of jobs, and the recent
weakening of employment growth caused the commonwealth's economic recovery to
lag that of the nation as a whole. In May 2006, the jobless rate in
Massachusetts was 5.0%, up from 4.8% in May 2005, and unemployment was expected
to continue above pre-recession levels (2.7%
5
in 2000) through 2011. Challenged by one of the more severe revenue declines
among the 50 states during the recession, Massachusetts responded with a
balanced mix of budget cuts, tax increases, and reserve draws. Successful
financial management and an improving profile resulted in the commonwealth's
budget stabilization fund ending fiscal 2006 with a projected balance of $2.4
billion and tax receipts that were $710 million ahead of plan. For fiscal 2007,
the $25.2 billion state budget increases spending 5% from fiscal 2006 levels,
including a 7% increase in school aid and a 17% hike in assistance to
municipalities. In April 2006, Massachusetts passed a comprehensive health
insurance bill that requires every resident to have health insurance by July
2007, with cost based on ability to pay. An estimated 500,000 uninsured
residents would be covered through a combination of employer assessments and new
subsidized private health plans. In May 2006, Moody's confirmed its rating on
Massachusetts general obligation debt at Aa2, and S&P confirmed its rating of
AA; both rating agencies maintained a stable outlook. For the 12 months ended
May 31, 2006, Massachusetts issued $15.8 billion in municipal debt, an increase
of 31% over the previous 12 months. During January-May 2006, the commonwealth's
issuance of $3.9 billion in new municipal paper represented a decline of 15%
from the first five months of 2005. As in Connecticut, Massachusetts' debt per
capita level was one of the highest in the nation, and debt as a percentage of
income per capita ranked second among the 50 states. These levels have risen
along with the costs associated with the Central Artery/Ted Williams Tunnel
Project, or Big Dig, which are currently pegged at $14.6 billion.
Although Missouri's economy grew at a slower pace than the national average in
2005, the state continued to register positive performance, led by job growth in
government, education, health services, and retail trade. Weaker payroll gains
in the financial services and the leisure and hospitality sectors and continued
problems in the auto industry were the main detractors during this reporting
period. Employment in Missouri remained well diversified, and in May 2006, the
state unemployment rate fell to 4.4% from 5.4% in May 2005, compared with a
pre-recession level of 3.3% in 2000. Fiscal 2006 tax revenues collected by the
state have exceeded projections, running 6% ahead of fiscal 2005. For fiscal
2007, the state's proposed $20.8 billion operating budget represents an increase
of 9% from fiscal 2006 and includes $173 million for elementary schools, $400
million in road construction, and a reduction in the number of state employees.
As of May 2006, Moody's and S&P maintained their ratings on Missouri general
obligation debt at Aaa/AAA with a stable outlook. During the 12 months ended May
31, 2006, the increase in municipal issuance in Missouri outpaced the national
trend, rising 68% over the previous 12-month period, to $7.9 billion. This type
of issuance fluctuation is fairly
6
common in smaller markets such as Missouri. For January-May 2006, issuance in
the state totaled $2.7 billion, up 22% from the first five months of 2005.
Overall, both the state's debt per capita and tax-supported debt levels remained
below the national medians.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THIS PERIOD?
As interest rates rose during this 12-month period, we continued to emphasize
careful duration1 management, part of which included efforts to more closely
align the Funds' duration and yield curve positioning. Strategically, our
purchase activity in the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds focused on
attractively priced bonds maturing in 10 to 20 years. As the yield curve
continued to flatten and the incremental yield on bonds with longer maturities
decreased, we believed that bonds in the 10-year to 20-year range of the curve
generally offered reward opportunities more commensurate with their risk levels.
However, at various times during this 12-month period, we found that bonds
available in longer parts of the yield curve offered more favorable
characteristics, and we actively pursued these opportunities. To help us
maintain these Funds' durations within our preferred strategic range, we were
also selectively selling holdings with shorter durations, such as bonds priced
to short call dates and short-dated pre-refunded bonds.
In NOM, keeping the Fund's duration within our established targets was also a
top priority, especially since NOM experienced a substantial number of advance
refundings over this 12-month period. While these pre-refundings benefited NOM's
performance through price appreciation and enhanced credit quality, they also
had a shortening effect on the Fund's duration. Our purchase activity therefore
focused mainly on bonds maturing in 15 to 20 years that would help to counteract
some of the duration impact of the advance refundings. As part of our efforts to
manage NOM's duration, we also sold some very short duration (2005-2007) bonds,
carefully selecting those that we believed had the least performance potential.
With yields rising during this period, we also found some opportunities to sell
a few of our holdings that were purchased when yields were lower and replace
them with similar, newer credits that yielded comparatively more. This process
allowed us to maintain the Funds' current portfolio characteristics while
strengthening their income streams.
In looking for potential purchase candidates, we kept an opportunistic eye
toward all types of issuance that we believed could add value to the Funds'
portfolios. As previously mentioned, while supply in all three states remained
exceptionally strong over
1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
7
the period, both Connecticut and Massachusetts saw declines in municipal
issuance during the first five months of 2006. Since all three of these states
are high-quality issuers, much of the new supply was highly rated and/or
insured, especially in Connecticut. During the latter part of this period, we
took advantage of opportunities in Connecticut and Massachusetts to add housing
bonds, particularly in NMT and NMB, which benefited the performance of these
Funds for the period.
We also continued to emphasize maintaining the Funds' weightings of bonds rated
BBB or lower and non-rated bonds. Lower-rated credits generally performed well
during this period, resulting in considerable investor demand and fewer
opportunities to purchase lower quality bonds that we believed represented value
for shareholders. While we did find a few opportunities to add lower-rated
issues to the Massachusetts Funds, the Connecticut Funds' allocations of lower
quality credits generally remained stable over this period. Overall, both the
Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds continued to have exposure to lower-rated
securities.
In Missouri, on the other hand, the large increase in municipal issuance during
this period provided more opportunities to add new positions that we believed
were attractively priced relative to their credit quality. These additions to
our portfolio enabled us to replace some of the lower-rated bonds that were
advance refunded during this period, thereby helping us maintain and diversify
NOM's weighting of lower-rated categories. Examples of purchases added to NOM
during this period included BBB+ rated bonds issued by the Missouri Development
Finance Board (MDFB) for the Branson Landing project (maturity 2035) and A+
rated bonds issued by MDFB for the Crackerneck Creek project (maturity 2028).
Over the past 12 months, our duration management strategies also included the
use of forward interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument,
in NFC, NGK, NGO, NMB, and NGX. As discussed in our last shareholder report, we
began using these swaps in late 2004 in an effort to reduce the interest rate
risk in these five Funds. These hedges were not an attempt to profit from
correctly predicting the timing and direction of interest rate movements.
Instead, our sole objective was to reduce the (and resulting pricing
sensitivity) of these Funds without having a negative impact on their income
streams or common share dividends over the short term.

2 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal
bonds, while the Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index containing a broad range of insured
municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any
expenses.
3 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated
using the returns of all exchange-traded closed-end funds in this category
for each period as follows: 1 year, 46; 5 years, 27; and 10 years, 18. Fund
and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.
9
For the 12 months ended May 31, 2006, the total returns on NAV for all seven of
the noninsured Funds in this report underperformed the return on the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index. For the same period, NGX underperformed the
Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index. All eight funds in this report
trailed the average return for the Lipper Other States peer group. Shareholders
should note that the performance of the Lipper Other States category represents
the overall average of returns for funds from 10 different states with a wide
variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less
meaningful.
One factor that affected the annual performance of these Funds, especially in
relation to that of the un-leveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, was
the use of financial leverage. Although leveraging provides opportunities for
additional income and total returns for common shareholders when interest rates
fall or remain consistently low, this benefit is reduced when interest rates
rise. With the increases in interest rates during this period, the decline in
value of the bonds in the underlying portfolios of these Funds was exacerbated
by the effects of leveraging. During periods of low short-term rates, these
Funds generally pay lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which
can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. Conversely, when
short-term interest rates rise, as they did during this reporting period, the
Funds' borrowing costs also rise, impacting the Funds' income streams and total
returns. However, we remain convinced that, over the long term, the use of
financial leverage should work to the benefit of the Funds. This is demonstrated
by the five-year and ten-year return performance--both absolute and relative--of
NTC, NFC, NMT, NMB, and NOM.
Other influences on the Funds' total returns for this period included market
factors such as rising interest rates and credit spread tightening as well as
fund-specific factors such as yield curve and duration positioning, allocations
to lower-rated credits, sector weightings, and pre-refunding activity.
As the yield curve continued to flatten over the course of this period, yield
curve and duration positioning played important roles in the Funds'
performances. Bonds in the Lehman index with maturities between 6 and 8 years
were generally the most adversely impacted by recent changes in the yield curve,
and they underperformed longer bonds (those with maturities of at least 22
years) by more than 200 basis points as well as bonds in the shortest part of
the curve (those with maturities less than 2 years) by about 100 basis points.
Yield curve positioning or, more specifically, greater exposure to those parts
of the yield curve that performed well helped the performance of these Funds
10
during this period. Among the Massachusetts Funds, NMT had the largest
allocation of short duration bonds that were either callable or close to being
called, which proved to be an advantage for the Fund during this period. On the
whole, however, the Connecticut Funds had less exposure to the shortest and
longest parts of the curve, which hurt their performance. The underweighting in
the longest part of the curve is explained in part by the fact that most
Connecticut municipalities do not issue debt with maturities longer than 20
years. As previously mentioned, the pre-refunding of a substantial portion of
NOM's portfolio during this period resulted in a rapid change in the Fund's
maturity and duration composition that hindered performance over the past 12
months by increasing the Fund's weightings in parts of the yield curve that
underperformed.
With bonds rated BBB or lower and nonrated bonds generally outperforming other
credit quality sectors during this period, all of these Funds benefited from
their allocations of lower-quality credits. The performance of this sector was
largely the result of investor demand for the higher yields typically associated
with lower-quality bonds, which drove up their value and tightened credit
spreads. As of May 31, 2006, the Connecticut Funds had weightings of BBB,
sub-investment grade and nonrated bonds ranging from 9% in NGK and 10% in NTC to
13% in NFC and 14% in NGO, while NOM allocated 18% to BBB and nonrated credits.
In Massachusetts, the two noninsured Funds--NMT and NMB--each had weightings of
12% in lower-rated and nonrated bonds, while the insured NGX, which can invest
up to 20% of its assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities, held
2% of its assets in bonds rated BBB as of May 31, 2006.
Among the lower-rated holdings making contributions to the Funds' total returns
for this period were industrial development and resource recovery bonds,
healthcare (including hospitals), and tobacco, all of which ranked among the top
performing revenue sectors in the Lehman index.
Housing bonds were also among some of the best performing credits in the Funds'
portfolios, as rising interest rates lessened the incidence and impact of
prepayments and bond calls. Both multifamily and single-family housing bonds
were positive contributors across all of these Funds, with the three
Massachusetts Funds having the heaviest weighting in the housing sector among
the Funds in this report. NOM also had exposure to housing bonds, and--among the
Connecticut Funds--NFC had the largest allocation.
11
During this period, we continued to see a number of advance refundings4, which
benefit the Funds through price appreciation and enhanced credit quality. In
general, the positive impact from refinancings was less than in the previous
reporting period. Both the Connecticut and Massachusetts Funds saw a small
number of pre-refundings, mainly in NGK, NMB, and NGX. As mentioned earlier, NOM
had 16% of its portfolio, involving several significant positions, advance
refunded over the past 12 months.
While advance refundings generally enhanced performance for this 12-month
period, the rising interest rate environment--especially at the short end of the
yield curve--meant that the Funds' holdings of older, previously pre-refunded
bonds tended to under perform the general municipal market, due primarily to the
shorter effective maturities of these bonds. Other segments of the municipal
market that tended to under-perform included general obligation bonds, special
tax-backed issues, and noncallable bonds.
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF
MAY 31, 2006?
We continued to believe that maintaining overall strong credit quality was an
important technique. As of May 31, 2006, the seven noninsured Funds continued to
offer excellent overall credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S.
guaranteed and AA in the Connecticut Funds ranging from 83% in NFC and 84% in
NGO to 90% in NTC and NGK. Among the Massachusetts Funds, NMT and NMB had
AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA allocations of 79% and 84%, respectively, while NGX,
which can invest up to 20% of its assets in uninsured investment-grade quality
securities, held 85% of its portfolio in insured and U.S. guaranteed bonds as of
May 31, 2006. NOM's allocation of AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA bonds accounted for
80% of its portfolio.
As of May 31, 2006, potential call exposure for the period June 2006 through the
end of 2007 ranged from 2% in NGK, NMB, and NGX, 3% in NFC, 4% in NGO, and 5% in
NOM to 9% in NMT and 12% in NTC. In general, NMT and NTC continued to hold most
of these callable bonds during the period, in part due to their performance
potential. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends largely
on future market interest rates.
4 Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
12
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, all of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially
enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. During
periods of rising short-term interest rates, as was the case during this
reporting period, the Funds' borrowing costs also rise, reducing the extent of
the benefits of leveraging. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the
proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were
reinvested into bonds generally offering lower yields, especially in the older
Funds. These factors resulted in one monthly dividend reduction in NFC, NGK, and
NGO, two in NMT, NMB, and NOM, and three in NTC and NGX over the 12-month period
ended May 31, 2006.
Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders
of the following Funds received capital gains and net ordinary income
distributions at the end of December 2005, as follows:
LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME
(PER SHARE) (PER SHARE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTC $0.2240 $0.0001
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NGK $0.0827 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NMT $0.0444 $0.0072
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NMB $0.1945 --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOM $0.0969 $0.0033
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These distributions, which represented an important part of the total returns of
these five Funds for this period, were generated by bond calls and sales of
appreciated securities. This had a slight negative impact on the earning power
per common share of these Funds and was a minor factor in the common share
dividend reductions noted above.
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, 2006, all of the
Funds in this report except NGO and NGX had positive UNII balances for both
financial statement and tax purposes. NGO and NGX had negative UNII balances for
financial statement purposes and positive UNII balances for tax purposes.

Fund, Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, Nuveen Connecticut

Municipal Fund 3, Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen

for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of May 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. 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

the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

Association) Municipal Swap Index.
At least 80% of the Fund's net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) are invested in municipal

Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance
which ensures the timely payment of principal and interest.
Up to 20% of the Fund's net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) may be invested in
municipal securities that are (i) either backed by an escrow
or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities (also ensuring the timely
payment of principal and interest), or (ii) rated, at the
time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or
BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but
judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): Dates (month

(3) Ratings (not covered by the report of independent registered
public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard &
Poor's or Moody's rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard &

(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has
variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a
short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect
at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common
share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Connecticut Premium Income Municipal
Fund (NTC), Nuveen Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFC), Nuveen
Connecticut Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NGK), Nuveen Connecticut
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NGO), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium Income
Municipal Fund (NMT), Nuveen Massachusetts Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
(NMB), Nuveen Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NGX) and
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income Municipal Fund (NOM). Common shares of
Connecticut Premium Income (NTC) and Massachusetts Premium Income (NMT) are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Connecticut
Dividend Advantage (NFC), Connecticut Dividend Advantage 2 (NGK), Connecticut
Dividend Advantage 3 (NGO), Massachusetts Dividend Advantage (NMB), Insured
Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) and Missouri Premium Income (NOM) are
traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment
companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes, and in the case of Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free
Advantage (NGX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within a single state or certain U.S.
territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When market price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service establishes fair value based on yields or
prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity
and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of
derivative investments are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to
supply a price for a municipal bond or derivative investment, each Fund may use
a market price or fair market value quote provided by a major broker/dealer in
such investments. If it is determined that the market price or fair market value
for an investment is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the
Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary
investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying
them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have
extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2006, there were
no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital
gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and 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. All monthly tax-exempt
income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, have been
designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains and ordinary
income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
65
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually.
Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is
determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the
auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. The number of
Preferred shares outstanding for each Fund is as follows:

===========================================================================================================
Insurance
Insured Massachusetts Tax-Free Advantage (NGX) invests at least 80% of its net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities that are covered by insurance. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of
its net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in
municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust
containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or
(ii) rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or
BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of
comparable quality by the Adviser.
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Fund's Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Fund
ultimately disposes of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Fund. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market
value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset
value of the Fund includes value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Fund
the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security
covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.
66
Forward Swap Transactions
The Funds are authorized to invest in certain derivative financial instruments.
The Funds' use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to
mitigate the negative impact that an increase in long-term interest rates could
have on Common share net asset value. Forward interest rate swap transactions
involve each Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay, in the future, a
fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable
rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the
future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on
the notional amount of the forward swap contract and would increase or decrease
in value based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for
bonds having a maturity of the swaps' termination date were to increase or
decrease. The Funds may close out a contract prior to the effective date, at
which point a realized gain or loss would be recognized. When a forward swap is
terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other
underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis.
Each Fund intends, but is not obligated to, terminate its forward swaps before
the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap
counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with
a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the
Fund upon termination. To minimize such credit risk, all counterparties are
required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap)
on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any
unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the
Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the
custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately
equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold.
Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap
valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined
threshold amount.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Trustees are
indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds
enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The
Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc., ("Nuveen") and a specific fund-level component, based only on
the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables
Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each
individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets
managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:
CONNECTICUT PREMIUM INCOME (NTC)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS MASSACHUSETTS PREMIUM INCOME (NMT)
(INCLUDING NET ASSETS MISSOURI PREMIUM INCOME (NOM)

For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750

For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For net assets over $2 billion .3750
================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As
of May 31, 2006, the complex-level fee rate was .1886%.
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $55 billion .2000%
For the next $1 billion .1800
For the next $1 billion .1600
For the next $3 billion .1425
For the next $3 billion .1325
For the next $3 billion .1250
For the next $5 billion .1200
For the next $5 billion .1175
For the next $15 billion .1150
For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds
in the U.S.
(2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee
rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later
date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91
billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to
be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level
fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such
time as a different rate or rates is determined.

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

ANNUAL INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the performance of the
investment adviser to the Funds and determining whether to continue the advisory
arrangements. At a meeting held on May 23-25, 2006 (the "May Meeting"), the
Board of Trustees of the Funds, including the independent Trustees, unanimously
approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement between each
Fund and NAM (the "Fund Adviser").
THE APPROVAL PROCESS
During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials
relating the services provided by the Fund Adviser and the performance of the
Fund. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the advisory contract with the
Fund Adviser at the May Meeting, the independent Trustees received extensive
materials in advance of their meeting which outlined, among other things:
o the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund
Adviser;
o the organization and business operations of the Fund Adviser,
including the responsibilities of various departments and key
personnel;
o the Fund's past performance, the Fund's performance compared to funds
of similar investment objectives compiled by an independent third
party and to customized benchmarks;
o the profitability of the Fund Adviser and certain industry
profitability analyses for unaffiliated advisers;
o the expenses of the Fund Adviser in providing the various services;
o the advisory fees (gross and net management fees) and total expense
ratios of the Fund, including comparisons of such fees and expenses
with those of comparable, unaffiliated funds based on information and
data provided by Lipper (the "Peer Universe") as well as compared to a
subset of funds within the Peer Universe (the "Peer Group") to the
respective Fund (as applicable);
o the advisory fees the Fund Adviser assesses to other types of
investment products or clients;
o the soft dollar practices of the Fund Adviser, if any;
o from independent legal counsel, a legal memorandum describing, among
other things, the duties of the Trustees under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as well as the general principles of
relevant state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the
requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an adviser's fiduciary
duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the
standards used by courts in determining whether investment company
boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and factors to be
considered by the board in voting on advisory agreements.
At the May Meeting, the Fund Adviser made a presentation to and responded to
questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the
written materials, the independent Trustees met privately with their legal
counsel to review the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and
consider the renewal of the advisory contracts. It is with this background that
the Trustees considered the advisory contract with the Fund Adviser. The
independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the
factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC directives relating to the renewal
of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Trustees considered
all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the
following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by
the Fund Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and the Fund
Adviser; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized
by the Fund Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; (d)
the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and
(e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund
investors.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In reviewing the Fund Adviser, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and
quality of the Fund Adviser's services. The Trustees reviewed materials
outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser's organization and business; the
types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide and are
expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund
(as described in further detail below) and any initiatives and enhancements
Nuveen has taken for its municipal fund product line. In connection with their
continued service as Trustees, the Trustees also have a good understanding of
each Fund Adviser's organization, operations and personnel. In this regard, the
Trustees are familiar with and have evaluated the professional experience,
qualifications and credentials of the Fund Adviser's personnel. The Trustees
further reviewed materials describing, among other things, the teams and per-
82
sonnel involved in the investment, research, risk-management and operational
processes involved in managing municipal funds and their respective functions.
Given the Trustees' experience with the Funds and Fund Adviser, the Trustees
recognized the demonstrated history of care and depth of experience of the
respective personnel in managing these Funds. In this regard, the Trustees
considered the continued quality of the Fund Adviser's investment process in
making portfolio management decisions as well as additional refinements and
improvements adopted to the portfolio management processes noted below. With
respect to the services provided to municipal funds, including the Funds, the
Trustees noted that the Fund Adviser continues to make refinements to its
portfolio management process including, among other things, the increased use of
derivatives to enhance management of risk, additional analytical software for
research staff and improved municipal pricing processes.
In addition to advisory services, the independent Trustees considered the
quality of any administrative or non-advisory services provided. The Fund
Adviser provides the Funds with such administrative and other services
(exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the
Funds) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of
the respective Fund. In connection with the review of the Investment Management
Agreement, the Trustees considered the extent and quality of these other
services which include, among other things, providing: product management (e.g.,
product positioning, performance benchmarking, risk management); fund
administration (e.g., daily net asset value pricing and reconciliation, tax
reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements); oversight of third party
service providers; administration of board relations (e.g., organizing board
meetings and preparing related materials); compliance (e.g., monitoring
compliance with investment policies and guidelines and regulatory requirements);
and legal support (e.g., helping prepare and file registration statements,
amendments thereto, proxy statements and responding to regulatory requests
and/or inquiries). As the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry and given
the importance of compliance, the Trustees considered, in particular, the
additions of experienced personnel to the compliance teams and the enhancements
to technology and related systems to support the compliance activities for the
Funds (including a new reporting system for quarterly portfolio holdings).
In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees also noted the additional services
that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including,
in particular, secondary market support activities. The Trustees recognized
Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common
shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of initiatives designed to
raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds.
These efforts include providing advertising and other media relations programs,
continued contact with analysts, maintaining and enhancing its website for
closed-end funds, and targeted advisor communication programs. With respect to
funds that utilize leverage through the issuance of preferred shares, the
Trustees noted Nuveen's continued support for the preferred shares by
maintaining, among other things, an in-house preferred trading desk; designating
a product manager whose responsibilities include creating and disseminating
product information and managing relations in connection with the preferred
share auction; and maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating
agency requirements.
Based on their review, the Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and
quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective
Funds under the Investment Management Agreement were of a high level and were
satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND FUND ADVISERS
The Board considered the investment performance for each Fund, including the
Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with
similar investment objectives identified by an independent third party (the
"Performance Peer Group") and portfolio level performance against customized
benchmarks, as described below. In evaluating the performance information, in
certain instances, the Trustees noted that the closest Performance Peer Group
for a Fund still may not adequately reflect such Fund's investment objectives,
strategies and portfolio duration, thereby limiting the usefulness of the
comparisons of such Fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group.
With respect to state specific municipal funds, the Trustees recognized that
certain state municipal funds do not have a corresponding state specific
Performance Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a
more general municipal category for various states. The closed-end state
municipal funds that do not have corresponding state-specific Performance Peer
Groups are from Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Further, due to a lack of
state-specific unleveraged categories, certain unleveraged state municipal funds
are included in their leveraged state category (such as the California Select
Tax-Free Fund, California Municipal Value Fund, New York Select Tax Free Fund
and New York Municipal Value Fund).
In reviewing performance, the Trustees reviewed performance information
including, among other things, total return information compared with the Fund's
Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as
applicable) ending December 31, 2005. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund's
portfolio level performance (which does not reflect fund level fees and
expenses) compared to customized portfolio-level benchmarks for the one- and
three-year periods ending December 31, 2005 (as applicable). This analysis is
designed to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate
measures of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This
information supplements the Fund performance information provided to the Board
at each of their quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Trustees
determined that the respective Fund's absolute and relative investment
performance over time had been satisfactory.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
In evaluating the management fees and expenses of a Fund, the Board
reviewed, among other things, the Fund's advisory fees (net and gross
management fees) and total expense ratios (before and after expense
reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as
comparisons to the gross management fees (before waivers), net
management fees (after waivers) and total expense ratios (before and
after waivers) of comparable funds in the Peer Universe and the Peer
Group. The Trustees reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer
Groups as well as the methods of measurement for the fee and expense
analysis and the performance analysis. In certain cases, due to the
small number of peers in the Peer Universe, the Peer Universe and Peer
Group
83
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
may be the same. Further, the Trustees recognized that in certain
cases the closest Peer Universe and/or Peer Group did not adequately
reflect the Fund's investment objectives and strategies limiting the
usefulness of comparisons. In reviewing comparisons, the Trustees also
considered the size of the Peer Universe and/or Peer Group, the
composition of the Peer Group (including differences in the use of
leverage and insurance) as well as differing levels of fee waivers
and/or expense reimbursements. In this regard, the Trustees considered
the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in
further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided
by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain Funds launched since
1999). Based on their review of the fee and expense information
provided, the Trustees determined that each Fund's net total expense
ratio was within an acceptable range compared to peers.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Trustees further reviewed data comparing the advisory fees of the
Fund Adviser with fees the Fund Adviser charges to other clients,
including municipal managed accounts. In general, the fees charged for
separate accounts are somewhat lower than the fees assessed to the
Funds. The Trustees recognized that the differences in fees are
attributable to a variety of factors, including the differences in
services provided, product distribution, portfolio investment
policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory
requirements. The Trustees noted, in particular, that the range of
services provided to the Funds is more extensive than that provided to
managed separate accounts. As described in further detail above, such
additional services include, but are not limited to, providing:
product management, fund administration, oversight of third party
service providers, administration of board relations, and legal
support. Funds further operate in a highly regulated industry
requiring extensive compliance functions compared to the other
investment products. In addition to the costs of the additional
services, administrative costs may also be greater for the Funds as
the average account size for separate accounts are notably larger than
the retail accounts of the Funds. Given the differences in the product
structures, particularly the extensive services provided to closed-end
municipal funds, the Trustees believe such facts justify the different
levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF FUND ADVISERS
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Trustees also considered
the profitability of Nuveen Investments for advisory activities (which
incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers). The
Trustees reviewed data comparing Nuveen's profitability with other
fund sponsors prepared by three independent third party service
providers as well as comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profits
margins of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts
of assets under management prepared by Nuveen. The Trustees further
reviewed the 2005 Annual Report for Nuveen Investments. In considering
profitability, the Trustees recognized the inherent limitations in
determining profitability as well as the difficulties in comparing the
profitability of other unaffiliated advisers. Profitability may be
affected by numerous factors, including the methodology for allocating
expenses, the advisor's business mix, the types of funds managed, the
adviser's capital structure and cost of capital. Further, individual
fund or product line profitability of other sponsors is generally not
publicly available. Accordingly, the profitability information that is
publicly available from various investment advisory or management
firms may not be representative of the industry.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in reviewing profitability, the Trustees reviewed
Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product
lines to determine profitability. In this regard, the methods of allocation used
appeared reasonable. The Trustees also, to the extent available, compared
Nuveen's profitability margins (including pre- and post-marketing profit
margins) with the profitability of various unaffiliated management firms. The
Trustees noted that Nuveen's profitability is enhanced due to its efficient
internal business model. The Trustees also recognized that while a number of
factors affect profitability, Nuveen's profitability may change as fee waivers
and/or expense reimbursement commitments of Nuveen to various funds in the
Nuveen complex expire. To keep apprised of profitability and developments that
may affect profitability, the Trustees have requested profitability analysis be
provided periodically during the year. Based on their review, the Trustees were
satisfied that the respective Fund Adviser's level of profitability from its
relationship with each Fund was reasonable in light of the services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Trustees also
considered any other revenues paid to a Fund Adviser as well as any indirect
benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its
affiliates are expected to receive that are directly attributable to their
management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information.
Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund,
the Trustees determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective
Fund were reasonable.
84
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees recognized the potential
benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset
base as a fund grows. To help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits,
the Trustees have reviewed and considered the breakpoints in the advisory fee
schedules that reduce advisory fees as the applicable Fund's assets grow. In
addition to advisory fee breakpoints as assets in a respective Fund rise, after
lengthy discussions with management, the Board also approved a complex-wide fee
arrangement that was introduced on August 1, 2004. Pursuant to the complex-wide
fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the
Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Trustees considered, among
other things, the historic and expected fee savings to shareholders as assets
grow, the amount of fee reductions at various asset levels, and that the
arrangement would extend to all funds in the Nuveen complex. The Trustees noted
that 2005 was the first full year to reflect the fee reductions from the complex
wide fee arrangement. The Trustees also considered the impact, if any, the
complex-wide fee arrangement may have on the level of services provided. Based
on their review, the Trustees concluded that the breakpoint schedule and
complex-wide fee arrangement currently was acceptable and desirable in providing
benefits from economies of scale to shareholders.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or
profits the Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its
relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees considered revenues
received by affiliates of the Fund Adviser for serving as agent at Nuveen's
preferred trading desk and for serving as a co-manager in the initial public
offering of new closed-end exchange traded funds.
In addition to the above, the Trustees considered whether the Fund Adviser
received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements. With respect to NAM, the
Trustees noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements and
does not pay excess brokerage commissions (or spreads on principal transactions)
in order to receive research services; however, the Fund Adviser may from time
to time receive and have access to research generally provided to institutional
clients.
The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as
all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of independent
Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements were
fair and reasonable, that the Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of the
services provided to each Fund, and that the renewal of the Investment
Management Agreements should be approved.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET
UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED CLOSED-END FUNDS
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest
dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset
value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends
and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally
be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on
dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of
the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase
price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting
in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been
paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable
brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan
participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on
individual transactions.
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

CEO CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE
Each Fund's Chief Executive Officer has submitted to the New York Stock Exchange
the annual CEO certification as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It
expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the
investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market
price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the
time period being considered.
AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a
Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the
security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not
account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions.
LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period over
which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a
measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes when
market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's duration,
the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change.
Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund
and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's portfolio of bonds.
MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's
current annualized dividend divided by its current market price.
NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing
the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at
the end of each business day.
TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to
equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a
code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or
persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers
from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has
posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf. (To view the
code, click on the Investor Resources drop down menu box, click on Fund
Governance and then click on Code of Conduct.)
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees determined that the registrant
has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of
Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee
financial expert is Jack B. Evans, Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is
"independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial
Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment
adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer,
Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and
actively supervised the CFO's preparation of financial statements and other

actively involved in the preparation of SCI's financial statements and the
resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served
on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr.
Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation
of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Missouri Premium Income 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.

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

ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS
The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to
Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with NAM ("Control Affiliate") that
provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for
engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting,
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval
exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and
any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest
services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of
all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of
revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund
Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that
would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not
recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and
(C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and
the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is
completed.

(1) The amounts reported for the Fund under the column heading "Tax Fees"
represents amounts billed to the Adviser exclusively for the preparation for the
Fund's tax return, the cost of which is borne by the Adviser. In the aggregate,
for all Nuveen funds for which Ernst & Young LLP serves as independent
registered public accounting firm, these fees amounted to $275,000 in 2006 and
$282,575 in 2005.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit
Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP
provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the
engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting
(except for those subject to the de minimis exception described above). The
Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about
any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last
fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The
Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's
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 of Directors or Trustees 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, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B.
Evans, William J. Schneider and Eugene S. Sunshine.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash
management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or
through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer
whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are
expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of
acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the
municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or
facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit
problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer,
NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail
negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and
otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such
activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but
nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board of Trustees on its
control activities on a quarterly basis.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the
registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM
would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should
be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of
the registrant's Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of NAM's
legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that
records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed
with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board of
Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day
implementation of the registrant's investment strategies:
NAME FUND
Scott R. Romans Nuveen Missouri Premium Income 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
----------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scott R. Romans Registered Investment Company 28 $6,159 Million
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0
Other Accounts 0 $0
* Assets are as of May 31, 2006. None of the assets in these accounts are
subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic
elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The
compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation, including
these three elements, to the market in order to create a compensation structure
that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As
discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio
manager's total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among
others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the
portfolio manager's investment team, the investment performance of the accounts
managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM). Although investment performance
is a factor in determining the portfolio manager's compensation, it is not
necessarily a decisive factor. Additionally, although the Adviser will use a
proprietary benchmark consisting of a [insert] to evaluate each portfolio
manager's performance, it is only one factor used in deciding upon his
compensation.
Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a
level determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy
discussed above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase
a portfolio manager's base salary.
Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual
cash bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations
made by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by
his peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of
factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to
the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves
as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts,
his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and
their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and
to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also
impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its
business objectives.
Long-term incentive compensation. Each portfolio manager is eligible to
receive bonus compensation in the form of equity-based awards issued in
securities issued by Nuveen Investments, Inc. The amount of such compensation is
dependent upon the same factors articulated for cash bonus awards but also
factors in his long-term potential with the firm.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous
management of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present
actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and
aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the
other account. NAM, however, believes that such potential conflicts are
mitigated by the fact that the NAM has adopted several policies that address
potential conflicts of interest, including best execution and trade allocation
policies that are designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking
the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and
equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and
(3) compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be
treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon
account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager. In
addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth policies regarding
conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of the May 31, 2006, 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.

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

(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act
