Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds
NQN, NVN, NUN,
NNF, NKO, NRK
Portfolio manager Cathryn Steeves examines key investment strategies and the
six-month performance of the Nuveen New York Funds. Cathryn, who joined Nuveen
in 1996, assumed portfolio management responsibility for these six Funds in
2006.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE NEW YORK FUNDS DURING THE
SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2008?
During this six-month period, the municipal market experienced a great deal of
volatility, as factors related to the sub-prime mortgage crisis had an indirect,
but important, influence on the municipal market's performance. We sought to
capitalize on this environment by continuing to focus on relative value, as we
looked for undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential to
perform well over the long term. The majority of our purchases were
attractively-priced, higher coupon bonds in the longer part of the municipal
bond yield curve. These purchases helped to offset the shortening of the Funds'
portfolio durations due to bond calls and the natural tendency of bond
durations(1) to shorten as time passes.
To generate cash for purchases and move the Funds' durations closer to our
strategic range, we selectively sold some holdings with shorter durations.
Selling shorter duration bonds and reinvesting further out on the yield curve
also helped to improve the Funds' overall call protection profiles. In addition,
we took advantage of strong bids to sell some sub-5% coupon bonds that were
attractive to the retail market.
Over the course of the entire reporting period, we saw the municipal yield curve
steepen, as municipal bond interest rates at the short end of the curve declined
while longer-term rates rose. In this environment, we continued to emphasize a
disciplined approach to duration management. As part of our duration strategies,
we used inverse floating rate securities,(2) a type of derivative financial
instrument, in all six of these Funds. Inverse floaters typically provide the
dual benefit of lengthening the Funds' durations to be closer to our strategic
target and enhancing their income-generation capabilities. NUN and NRK also used
forward interest rate swaps, another type of derivative financial instrument.
The goal of this strategy was to help us manage the common share net asset value
(NAV) volatility of these two Funds without having a negative impact on their
income streams or common share dividends over the short term.
(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.
(2) An inverse floating rate security is a financial instrument designed to pay
long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
securities in which the Funds invested during the reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of
Terms Used in This Report sections of this shareholder report.
Discussions of specific investments are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed
in this commentary represent those of the portfolio manager as of the date of
this report and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions
and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of
such changes.

HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?
Individual results for these Nuveen New York Funds, as well as relevant index
and peer group information, are presented in the accompanying table.

Municipal Debt
Funds Average(4) -2.58% -2.27% 3.97% 4.96%
For the six months ended March 31, 2008, the cumulative returns on common share
NAV for all six of these New York Funds underperformed the return of the Lehman
Brothers New York Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Index. At the same time, the six-month
returns for all of these Funds outperformed the average return for the Lipper
New York Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average.
One of the major factors impacting the six-month performance of these Funds,
especially in relation to that of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers New York
Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Index, was the use of financial leverage. While leverage
provides opportunities for additional income and total returns for common
shareholders, the benefits of leveraging are tied in part to the short-term
rates that leveraged Funds pay their preferred shareholders. During this period,
the Funds' borrowing costs remained relatively high, negatively impacting their
total returns.
Other key factors that influenced the Funds' returns included yield curve and
duration positioning, credit exposure and sector allocations, the use of
derivatives, and holdings of bonds backed by certain municipal bond insurers.
During this six-month period, bonds in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
with maturities of eight years or less, especially those maturing in two to four
years, benefited the most from changes in the interest rate environment. As a
result, these shorter maturity bonds generally outperformed credits with longer
maturities. Bonds having the longest maturities (22 years and longer) posted the
worst returns. While NRK benefited from having the shortest maturity among these
Funds, on the whole the Funds were overexposed to the longer part of the yield
curve, with NVN and NUN having the longest durations. This had a negative impact
on their performance.
*Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year, and ten-year
are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of
taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale
of Fund shares.
For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your
Fund in this report.
(3) The Lehman Brothers New York Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of insured New York
municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses.
(4) The Lipper New York Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated
using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period
as follows: 6 months, 12 funds; 1 year, 12 funds; 5 years, 12 funds; and 10
years, 7 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.
5
As mentioned earlier, both NUN and NRK used forward interest rate swaps. In NRK,
these derivatives were used to synthetically extend the Fund's duration and move
it closer to our strategic duration target. Despite the fact that longer
duration instruments generally performed poorly, the use of forward interest
rate swaps had a positive impact on NRK's return performance. This was due to
the fact that the interest rate swaps provided exposure to taxable markets
during a period when, in contrast to historical trends, the Treasury market and
the municipal market moved in the opposite directions. As municipal market
performance lagged the significant gains made by Treasuries, the interest rate
swaps performed very well. However, in NUN, which had a duration that exceeded
our target, the interest rate swaps were used to synthetically shorten duration.
These positions, which reduced duration in the outperforming taxable markets,
hurt NUN's performance.
In addition, the inverse floaters used by all six of these Funds had a negative
impact on performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse floaters
effectively increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds during a
period when shorter maturities were in favor in the market. However, the inverse
floaters also benefited the Funds by helping to support their income streams. In
general, these six Funds had smaller positions in inverse floaters than their
peers in the Lipper New York Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average, which helped
the relative performance of the Nuveen New York Funds.
In general, bonds with higher credit quality outperformed those with lower
credit quality during the past six months. The underperformance of the lower
quality sector was largely the result of risk-averse investors' flight to
quality as disruptions in the financial and housing markets deepened. The
performances of these six insured Funds generally benefited from their higher
quality holdings. NKO and NRK, which are Dividend Advantage Funds, also have the
ability to invest up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade
quality securities. As of March 31, 2008, NKO and NRK each had allocations of
approximately 4% in bonds rated BBB, which did not perform well as credit
spreads widened. This allocation had a negative impact on the performance of
these two Funds. In NRK, however, this was largely offset by the Fund's shorter
maturity and use of forward interest rate swaps, as mentioned earlier.
On the whole, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector, tended
to perform poorly. Revenue bonds as a whole, and especially the industrial
development and health care sectors that had ranked among the top performers in
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index over the past few years, underperformed
the general municipal market. The housing sector also performed poorly.
Sectors of the market that generally contributed to the Funds' performances
included water and sewer, resource recovery, special tax, and electric
utilities. Pre-refunded bonds(5) performed exceptionally well, due primarily to
their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. Among these Funds,
NRK had the heaviest weighting in pre-refunded bonds.
(5) 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.
6
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of the New York Funds was
their position in bonds backed by certain municipal insurers. All of these Funds
had exposure to bonds insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation, MBIA Insurance
Corporation (MBIA), Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC) and Financial
Security Assurance (FSA).
As concern increased about the balance sheets of municipal bond insurers, prices
on bonds insured by these companies declined, detracting from the performance of
the Funds. On the whole, the insured holdings of our Funds continued to be well
diversified.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FUND POLICY CHANGES
The portfolios of investments reflect the ratings on certain bonds insured by
AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at
least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and at
least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for CIFG-insured,
FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one
rating agency reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March 31,
2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on
"negative credit watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for
such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the effective rating of
many of the bonds insured by that insurer or insurers. It is important to note
that municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
During March 2008, the Nuveen Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved
changes to the investment policies of all of the Nuveen insured municipal
closed-end funds. The new policies require that (1) at least 80% of a Fund's net
assets must be invested in insured municipal bonds guaranteed by insurers rated
"A" or better by at least one rating agency at the time of purchase; (2) at
least 80% of a Fund's net assets must be invested in municipal bonds rated "AA"
or better by at least one rating agency (with or without insurance), deemed to
be of comparable quality by the Adviser, or backed by an escrow or trust
containing sufficient U.S. Government or Government agency securities at the
time of purchase; and (3) up to 20% of a Fund's net assets may be invested in
uninsured municipal bonds rated "A" to "BBB" by at least one rating agency or
deemed to be of comparable quality by the Adviser at the time of purchase. These
policy changes are designed to increase portfolio manager flexibility and retain
the insured nature of the Funds' investment portfolios for current and future
environments. Some Funds may require shareholder approval prior to implementing
these policy changes.
7
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the auction preferred shares issued by these Funds than
there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear" and
that many or all auction preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares
in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction
preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the
auction preferred shares. At the time this report was prepared, the Funds'
managers could not predict when future auctions might succeed in attracting
sufficient buyers for the shares offered, if ever. The Funds' managers are
working diligently to develop mechanisms designed to improve the liquidity of
the auction preferred shares, or to refund them, but at present there is no
assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments generally do not
affect the management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one
implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is that the Funds'
cost of leverage will be higher than it otherwise would have been had the
auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future common share
earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
The common share dividends of all six of these Nuveen New York Funds remained
stable throughout the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2008.
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 2007 as follows:
Short-Term Capital Gains
Long-Term Capital Gains and/or Ordinary Income
(per share) (per share)
NVN $0.0095 $0.0002
NUN $0.0104 --
NKO $0.0272 --
NRK $0.0017 --
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 common share 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 common share NAV. Each Fund will, over time,
pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of March
31, 2008, all of the Funds in this report except NQN had positive UNII balances,
based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes and negative UNII balances for
financial statement purposes. NQN had a positive UNII balance, based upon our
best estimate, for tax purposes, and a positive UNII balance for financial
statement purposes.

COMMON SHARE REPURCHASE AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
On July 10, 2007, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved an open market
share repurchase program, as part of a broad, ongoing effort designed to support
the market prices of the Funds' common shares. Repurchases not only help to
support the market price but, because such purchases are made at a discount to
NAV, they have the effect of augmenting NAV. Under the terms of the program,
each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares. As of March
31, 2008, NQN, NVN and NUN had repurchased 119,000, 124,400 and 179,300 common
shares, respectively, representing approximately 0.7%, 0.5% and 0.8% of the
Funds' total common shares outstanding, respectively.
As of March 31, 2008, the Funds' share prices were trading at discounts to their
common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:
3/31/08 Six-Month Average
Discount Discount
NQN -8.53% -10.32%
NVN -10.42% -11.26%

(1) The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of March 31, 2008. As
explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. Subsequent to March 31,
2008, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds
to AA. As of March 31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each
of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one or more
rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or
more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it would
likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings shown
in the foregoing chart.
(2) Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
rate of 32.9%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(1) The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of March 31, 2008. As
explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. Subsequent to March 31,
2008, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds
to AA. As of March 31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each
of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage one or more
rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or
more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it would
likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings shown
in the foregoing chart.
(2) Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
rate of 32.9%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.
(3) The Fund paid shareholders capital gains and net ordinary income
distributions in December 2007 of $0.0097 per share.

===================================================================================================================
As of March 31, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio of
Investments, are either covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance, or are
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, any of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
(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: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at least one rating
agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and
at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one rating agency
reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March
31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of
these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers
in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(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) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (35.9)%.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================
As of March 31, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio of
Investments, are either covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance, or are
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, any of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
(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: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at least one rating
agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and
at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one rating agency
reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March
31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of
these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers
in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (36.4)%.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate).
As of March 31, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio of
Investments, are either covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance, or are
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, any of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
(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: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at least one rating
agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and
at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one rating agency
reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March
31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of
these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers
in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Portion of investment, with an aggregate market value of
$281,831, has been pledged to collateralize the net payment
obligations under forward swap contracts.
(6) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (36.2)%.
(7) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================
As of March 31, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio of
Investments, are either covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance, or are
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, any of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
(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: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at least one rating
agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and
at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one rating agency
reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March
31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of
these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers
in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (34.9)%.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================
As of March 31, 2008, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) are
invested in municipal securities that are either covered by
Original Issue 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, Standard &
Poor's 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: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at least one rating
agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and
at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one rating agency
reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March
31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of
these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers
in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(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) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (34.7)%.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================
As of March 31, 2008, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) are
invested in municipal securities that are either covered by
Original Issue 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, Standard &
Poor's 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: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
March 31, 2008. During March 2008, at least one rating
agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to AA and
at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds.
Subsequent to March 31, 2008, at least one rating agency
reduced the rating for MBIA-insured bonds to AA. As of March
31, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed each of
these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers
in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced
by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (34.8)%.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen New York Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.
(NQN), Nuveen New York Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NVN), Nuveen New
York Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NUN), Nuveen Insured New York Premium
Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NNF), Nuveen Insured New York Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund (NKO) and Nuveen Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage Municipal
Fund (NRK) (collectively, the "Funds"). All of the Funds' Common shares trade on
the New York Stock Exchange, with the exception of Insured New York Dividend
Advantage's (NKO) Common shares and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage's (NRK)
Common shares, which trade 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
New York state income taxes, and in the case of Insured New York Tax-Free
Advantage (NRK) 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 the state of New York 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 Directors/Trustees. When
market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for
municipal securities), the pricing service may establish 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 forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent
pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. If the
pricing service is unable to supply a price for a municipal bond or forward swap
contract, each Fund may use market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in
such investments. If it is determined that the market price for an investment or
derivative instrument is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair value in
accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of
Directors/Trustees. 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/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 March 31, 2008, 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.
63
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and New York state
income taxes, and in the case of Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) the
alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt
status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains
and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal
taxation.
Effective March 31, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (FIN
48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the
current year.
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the
last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the six months ended March 31, 2008.
The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
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 or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each
Series is
64
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, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as

Insurance
During the six months ended March 31, 2008, New York Investment Quality (NQN),
New York Select Quality (NVN), New York Quality Income (NUN) and Insured New
York Premium Income (NNF) invested only in municipal securities which were
either covered by insurance or were 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.
During the six months ended March 31, 2008, Insured New York Dividend Advantage
(NKO) and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) invested at least 80% of
their net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in
municipal securities that were covered by insurance. Each Fund may have also
invested 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, Standard & Poor's or Fitch) or unrated
but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management (the
"Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen").
Effective March 20, 2008, pursuant to action taken by the Funds' Board of
Directors/Trustees, under normal circumstances, Insured New York Dividend
Advantage (NKO) and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) must invest at
least 80% of their net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
shares) in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or 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. For purposes of this 80% test, insurers must have a
claims paying ability rated at least A at the time of purchase. In addition,
each Fund must invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are rated at
least AA at the time of purchase. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of their
net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities rated below AA (based on the higher rating of the insurer, if any, or
the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by
the Adviser.
The foregoing policy changes will be implemented in Insured New York Premium
Income (NNF) pending shareholder approval.
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' 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 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, in contrast, 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 Common share net
asset value of the Funds 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.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating
rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed
interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn,
this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some
fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market value, that typically pay
short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a
long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate
certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that represents all
remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse
floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating
rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder
bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk and
also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be
more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is
dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on
the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the
inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater
face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). A Fund may also enter into shortfall and
forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit
recovery swap") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the
broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the
liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation
value of the floating rate certificates, as well as any shortfalls in interest
cash flows. The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to
cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at
par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust
to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an
externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater, recourse trust or credit recovery swap is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" in the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended March 31, 2008, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months
ended March 31, 2008, were as follows:

Forward Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. 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 reduce 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 predetermined threshold amount. New York Quality Income
(NUN) and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) were the only Funds to
invest in forward interest rate swap transactions during the six months ended
March 31, 2008.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/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.
2. FUND SHARES
On July 10, 2007, the Board of Directors/Trustees of New York Investment Quality
(NQN), New York Select Quality (NVN) and New York Quality Income (NUN) approved
an open-market share repurchase program, as part of a broad, ongoing effort
designed to support the market prices of the Funds' Common shares. Under the
terms of the program, each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding
Common shares.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to the timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
transactions subject to SFAS No. 140. To the extent that differences arise that
are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital
accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual
report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not
require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the
net asset values of the Funds.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, 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:
NEW YORK INVESTMENT QUALITY (NQN)
NEW YORK SELECT QUALITY (NVN)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS NEW YORK QUALITY INCOME (NUN)

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 March 31, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .1870%.
70
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:

$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with
the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of
Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent
Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/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 Insured New York Dividend Advantage's (NKO)
operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This
standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already
required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally
accepted accounting principles from the application of this standard relate to
the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of March 31, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required
about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of
the measurements included within the Statement of Operations for the period.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of
March 31, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will
impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures
may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.
72
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Auction Rate Preferred Markets
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear,'' and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate'' calculated in accordance with the
pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
These developments generally do not affect the management or investment policies
of the Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will be higher than it
otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a
result, the Funds' future Common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise
would have been.
Distributions to Common Shareholders
The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net
investment income which were paid on May 1, 2008, to shareholders of record on
April 15, 2008, as follows:

** Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price 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.
80
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT
[] AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
[] 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 the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or
the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
[] INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
[] 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 Preferred 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.
[] ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder
of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at
maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero
coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds
that pay interest periodically.
