SEE THE INSIDE FRONT COVER OF THIS REPORT FOR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS." Dear SHAREHOLDER Once again, I am pleased to state that during the period covered by this report your Nuveen Fund continued to meet its objective of providing attractive tax-free monthly income. Detailed information on your Fund's performance can be found in the Portfolio Manager's Comments and on the Performance Overview pages within this report. Please take the time to read them. In addition to providing regular tax-free income, we believe that a municipal bond investment like your Nuveen Fund also may offer opportunities to reduce the risk of your overall investment portfolio. This is because the prices of municipal bonds may move differently than the prices of the common stocks, mutual funds or other investments you may own. Since one part of your portfolio may be going up when another is going down, portfolio diversification may reduce your overall risk. Your financial advisor can explain the advantages of portfolio diversification in more detail. I urge you to contact him or her soon for more information on this important investment strategy. I also urge you to consider receiving future Fund reports and other Fund information through the Internet and by e-mail rather than in hard copy. Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but this also may help lower your Fund expenses. Sign up is quick and easy -- see the inside front cover of this report for step-by-step instructions. For more than 100 years, Nuveen has specialized in offering quality investments such as your Nuveen Fund to those seeking to accumulate and preserve wealth. Our commitment to careful research, constant surveillance and judicious trading by our seasoned portfolio management team has never been stronger. Our mission continues to be to assist you and your financial advisor by offering the investment solutions and services that can help you meet your financial objectives. We thank you for choosing us as a partner as you work toward that goal. Sincerely, /s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger Timothy R. Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board December 16, 2002 1 Nuveen National Insured Municipal Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds (NQI, NIO, NIF, NPX, NVG) Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS Portfolio manager Steve Krupa discusses U.S. economic conditions, key investment strategies, and the recent performance of these Insured Funds. With 23 years of investment experience at Nuveen, Steve assumed portfolio management responsibility for NQI in 1990, NIO in 1991, NIF and NPX in 1998, and NVG upon its inception in March 2002. WHAT WERE THE MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING THE U.S. ECONOMY AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD? In a number of ways, market conditions have not changed significantly since our last shareholder report. We believe the most influential factors affecting the economy and the municipal market continued to be the slow pace of economic growth and the relatively low levels of interest rates. In addition, the ongoing threat of terrorism and the current uncertain geopolitical climate also had an impact on the economy and the markets over this reporting period. Looking more closely at the municipal market, the sluggish economic recovery and lack of inflationary pressures helped many bonds perform well during most of the twelve-month period that ended October 31, 2002. However, during the month of October 2002, the market environment for all fixed-income investments soured as a rally in the equity markets seemingly caused some investors to sell fixed-income products and purchase common stocks. In the first ten months of 2002, new municipal bond issuance nationwide reached $289.4 billion, an increase of 30% over January-October 2001. Demand for municipal bonds also remained strong over most of this period, as many individual investors continued to seek investments offering diversification for their portfolios and tax-free income. In addition, institutional investors, especially traditional municipal bond purchasers such as property/casualty insurance companies, have been active buyers in the municipal market. HOW DID THESE FUNDS PERFORM OVER THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2002? The price spread between AAA rated bonds and lower rated bonds grew through much of this reporting period. This helped insured bonds and insured funds post generally strong total returns over the twelve months ended October 31, 2002. Individual results for Nuveen's insured Funds, as well as for relevant benchmarks, are presented in the accompanying table.

For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. 1 The total annual returns on common share net asset value for these insured Funds are compared with the total annual return of the Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index, an unleveraged index comprising a broad range of insured municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses. 2 The Funds' total returns are compared with the average annualized return of the 22 funds in the Lipper Insured Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds category. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 3 The taxable-equivalent yield represents the yield that must be earned on a taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Nuveen Fund on an after-tax basis. The taxable-equivalent yield is based on the Fund's market yield on the indicated date and a federal income tax rate of 30%. 2 All four of the Funds with at least one year's history reported strong total returns for the year ended October 31, 2002. Each exceeded the Lipper peer group average return and the return of the unleveraged, unmanaged Lehman Insured Municipal Index. We believe part of this outperformance can be attributed to each Fund's significant holding of transportation bonds. Over the past year, many insured bonds in this area performed well as some investors tended to switch out of uninsured transportation bonds into insured bonds within this same sector. Each of the older Funds also had sizeable holdings of healthcare bonds, which saw a similar migration from uninsured to insured bonds over the course of the reporting period. NVG was introduced in March 2002, and since then has offered its MuniPreferred(R), shares, completed its initial investment process, and begun paying regular monthly dividends. We are pleased with the composition of the portfolio and how the Fund has performed to date, and we look forward to sharing first year results with you in the next shareholder report. HOW DID THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT AFFECT THE DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES OF THESE FUNDS? As the Fed continued to keep short-term interest rates relatively low, the dividend-paying capabilities of these Funds benefited from their use of leverage, a strategy that can potentially enhance the dividends paid to common shareholders. This benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates the leveraged Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. Low short-term rates, such as those currently in effect, can enable the Funds to reduce the amount of income they pay preferred shareholders, leaving more earnings to support common share dividends. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, low short-term interest rates enabled us to implement four dividend increases in all four of the older Funds. NVG has paid a stable, attractive monthly dividend since its first distribution in June. Given the volatility of the equity market over the past year, we believe investors continued to evaluate their asset allocation plans and make slow shifts to take better advantage of the balance offered by fixed-income investments. Over this period, the share prices of the four older Funds 3 stayed roughly flat or rose modestly. NVG's share price remained fairly stable until October, when it was affected by the general weakening of bond prices. As of October 31, 2002, all of these Funds were trading at modest discounts to their common share net asset values (see charts on individual Performance Overview pages). WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2002? We believed that all these Funds were well positioned at the start of this reporting period; therefore, trading activity was fairly minimal over the fiscal year. As opportunities arose, our strategic focus continued to be on enhancing dividend-paying capability, extending call protection and purchasing bonds that we thought were undervalued by the market, particularly in the 20-year part of the yield curve. We think that as we add these relatively shorter maturities to the Funds their portfolios should become less sensitive to potential changes in the interest rates. At the same time, we believe that adding bonds from this part of the yield curve will allow us to continue providing competitive yields and returns. As noted earlier, transportation bonds remain one of the top sector holdings within each Fund. We do not anticipate this will change dramatically in the coming months. We believe there will continue to be a steady supply of insured airport and airline-backed bonds that can provide value investing opportunities. Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, we think strong credit quality remained a requirement for many investors. Each of the four older insured Funds is 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities, which means that credit quality is not an issue. NVG, which can invest up to 20% of its assets in uninsured, investment-grade quality bonds, was 92% invested in insured or AAA rated securities as of October 31. The balance of the portfolio was in bonds rated AA. One of this Fund's investments - sewer bonds issued by Jefferson County, Alabama - already has been advance refunded, resulting in price appreciation. NIO also has benefited from the advance refunding of this issue. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN GENERAL AND THESE FUNDS IN PARTICULAR? In general, our outlook for the fixed-income markets over the coming months remains positive. We believe 4 the U.S. economy is headed for an eventual recovery, but one that may be slower to arrive and less robust than some are now predicting. We expect inflation and interest rates to remain relatively low over the near term, while new municipal volume should continue to be strong as issuers take advantage of the low rate environment for both new issues and refinancings. Currently, national issuance totals are on pace to surpass $300 billion in 2002, eclipsing the record of $292 billion set in 1993. We also expect demand for tax-exempt municipal bonds to remain solid as investors continue to look for ways to rebalance their portfolios and reduce their overall investment risk. Over the next two years, we believe these Funds offer excellent levels of call protection, with exposures during 2003 and 2004 ranging from zero in NVG to 16% in NPX. The number of actual calls experienced by these Funds will depend largely on market interest rates over this time. We believe this call exposure is manageable, and we foresee no problems in working through it. In the coming months, our focus will remain on strategies that utilize Nuveen's experience and research expertise to try to enhance the Funds' dividend-paying capabilities, position the Funds for future interest rate moves and take advantage of value opportunities as they arise. We believe the continued heavy issuance anticipated in the municipal market should enhance our ability to find attractive supply-driven trading opportunities. Overall, we believe the attractive tax-free income, portfolio diversification, and risk reduction potential (for equity-dominated portfolios) represented by these Funds will continue to make them potentially valuable components in your long-term financial plans. 5 Nuveen Insured Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The National Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common shares stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQI), Nuveen Insured Municipal Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NIO), Nuveen Premier Insured Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NIF), Nuveen Insured Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 (NPX) and Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NVG). Insured Quality (NQI), Insured Opportunity (NIO), Premier Insured Income (NIF) and Insured Premium Income 2 (NPX) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG) is traded on the American Stock Exchange. Prior to the commencement of operations of Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG), the Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company, and the recording of the organization expenses ($11,500) and its reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, also a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as closed-end, diversified management investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Securities Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers and general market conditions. If it is determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds or its designee may establish a fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At October 31, 2002, Insured Quality (NQI), Insured Opportunity (NIO), Premier Insured Income (NIF), Insured Premium Income 2 (NPX) and Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG) had outstanding when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments of $44,317,804, $34,556,722, $13,178,541, $5,864,637 and $3,393,359, respectively. Investment Income Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Federal Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income to its shareholders. 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 income tax, 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 October 31, 2002, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. 49 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared and paid 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, temporary over-distributions as a result of these differences may occur and will be classified as either distributions in excess of net investment income, distributions in excess of net realized gains and/or distributions in excess of net ordinary taxable income from investment transactions, where applicable. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: PREMIER INSURED INSURED INSURED INSURED INSURED PREMIUM DIVIDEND QUALITY OPPORTUNITY INCOME INCOME 2 ADVANTAGE (NQI) (NIO) (NIF) (NPX) (NVG) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 2,600 4,000 -- 2,080 3,160 Series T 2,600 4,000 -- 2,200 3,080 Series W 2,600 4,000 840 2,080 -- Series W2 -- 3,200 -- -- -- Series TH 2,320 4,000 2,800 2,200 3,080 Series TH2 -- 4,000 -- -- -- Series F 2,600 4,000 2,800 2,196 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 12,720 27,200 6,440 10,756 9,320 ================================================================================ Effective May 17, 2002, Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG) issued 3,160 Series M, 3,080 Series T and 3,080 Series TH, $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. Insurance Insured Quality (NQI), Insured Opportunity (NIO), Premier Insured Income (NIF) and Insured Premium Income 2 (NPX) invest in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG) invests at least 80% of its net assets in municipal securities that are covered by insurance. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or (ii) municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. 50 Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the Funds' shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio Insurance is effective only while the municipal securities are held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the net asset value of the Funds' Common shares include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale. Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments including futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the period ended October 31, 2002. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Offering Costs Nuveen Investments has agreed to pay all offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG). Insured Dividend Advantage's (NVG) share of offering costs ($614,079) was recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares. Costs incurred by Insured Dividend Advantage (NVG) in connection with its offering of Preferred shares ($2,600,117) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Change in Accounting Policy As required, effective November 1, 2001, the following Funds have adopted the provisions of the new AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting taxable market discount on debt securities. Prior to November 1, 2001, the Funds did not accrete taxable market discount on debt securities until they were sold. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets applicable to Common shares or the Common share net asset values of the Funds, but resulted in an increase in the cost of securities and a corresponding decrease in net unrealized appreciation based on securities held by the following Funds on November 1, 2001, as follows: PREMIER INSURED INSURED INSURED INSURED PREMIUM QUALITY OPPORTUNITY INCOME INCOME 2 (NQI) (NIO) (NIF) (NPX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $462,342 $1,004,377 $29,696 $128,483 ================================================================================ The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. The net effect of this change for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, was to increase investment income with a corresponding decrease in net unrealized appreciation as follows: PREMIER INSURED INSURED INSURED INSURED PREMIUM QUALITY OPPORTUNITY INCOME INCOME 2 (NQI) (NIO) (NIF) (NPX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $117,500 $284,081 $19,989 $44,294 ================================================================================ 51 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities The Funds have adopted the classification requirement of EITF D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. EITFD-98 requires that Preferred shares, at liquidation value, be presented separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of 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. FLEXIBILITY You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time. For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800) 257-8787. 64 Fund INFORMATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS Robert P.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Ernst & Young LLP Chicago, IL 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 (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual performance 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 a bond or bond fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a bond or fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is generally longer than the duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund 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 NAV is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. 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. ---------- Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares were repurchased during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2002. Any future repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual report. 65 Serving Investors FOR GENERATIONS PHOTO OF:John Nuveen, Sr. For over a century, generations of Americans have relied on Nuveen Investments to help them grow and keep the money they've earned.
