FUND INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERNET AND BY E-MAIL... 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

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.

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.

NUVEEN INSURED MUNICIPAL OPPORTUNITY FUND, INC.
NUVEEN PREMIER INSURED MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND, INC.
NUVEEN INSURED PREMIUM INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND 2

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Insured Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.,
Nuveen Insured Municipal Opportunity Fund, Inc., Nuveen Premier Insured
Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 and
Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund as of October 31, 2002, and the
related statements of operations, changes in net assets and the financial
highlights for 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
confirmation of investments owned as of October 31, 2002, by correspondence with
the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 Insured Quality Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured Municipal
Opportunity Fund, Inc., Nuveen Premier Insured Municipal Income Fund, Inc.,
Nuveen Insured Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 and Nuveen Insured Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund at October 31, 2002, and the results of their

indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

1. 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:

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


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

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



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:

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. Accordingly, certain reclassifications have been made
to the financial statements and financial highlights for all prior periods
presented. The adoption of EITF D-98 had no impact on the Funds' Common share
net asset values.

The following information is presented on an income tax basis as of October 31,

purposes are primarily due to timing differences in recognizing income on
taxable market discount securities and timing differences in recognizing certain
gains and losses on security transactions.

NUVEEN MAKES
REINVESTING EASY.
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.

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.
