Chairman's
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board
Dear Shareholders,
I'd like to use my initial letter to you to accomplish several things. I want to
report that after fourteen years of service on your Fund's Board, including the
last twelve as chairman, Tim Schwertfeger retired from the Board in June. We
will miss his wise counsel. The Board has elected me to replace him as the
chairman, the first time this role has been filled by someone who is not an
employee of Nuveen Investments. Electing an independent chairman marks a
significant milestone in the management of your Fund, and it aligns us with what
is now considered a "best practice" in the fund industry. Further, it
demonstrates the independence with which your Board has always acted on your
behalf.
First and most important, on behalf of the entire Board, I would like you to
know that we are closely monitoring the unprecedented market developments and
their distressing impact on the Funds. We believe that these Funds continue to
be actively and constructively managed for the long term and at the same time we
are very aware that these are trying times for our investors. We appreciate the
patience you have shown with the Board and with Nuveen Investments as they
manage your investment through this extremely difficult period.
Second, I also want to report that we are very fortunate to be welcoming two new
Board members to our team. John Amboian, the current chairman and CEO of Nuveen
Investments, has agreed to replace Tim as Nuveen's representative on the Board.
John's presence will allow the independent Board members to benefit not only
from his leadership role at Nuveen but also his broad understanding of the fund
industry and Nuveen's role within it. We also are adding Terry Toth as an
independent director. A former CEO of the Northern Trust Company's asset
management group, Terry will bring extensive experience in the fund industry to
our deliberations.
Finally, I urge you to take the time to review the Portfolio Manager's Comments,
the Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information and the Performance
Overview sections of this report. All of us are grateful that you have chosen
Nuveen Investments as a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and, on
behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund's Board, let me say we look
forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner
Robert P. Bremner
Chairman of the Board

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NNY, NNP, NAN, NXK
Portfolio manager Cathryn Steeves reviews economic and municipal market
conditions at both the national and state levels, key investment strategies, and
the twelve-month performance of these Nuveen New York Funds. Cathryn, who joined
Nuveen in 1996, assumed portfolio management responsibility for these four Funds
in 2006.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE
TWELVE-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008?
During this period, events in the financial and credit markets led to increased
price volatility for most securities, reduced liquidity, and a general flight to
quality. In September 2007, the Federal Reserve (Fed) responded to credit market
volatility by launching a series of interest rate cuts that lowered the fed
funds rate by 325 basis points--from 5.25% to 2.00%--over the next seven months.
(On October 8, 2008, and October 29, 2008, following the end of this reporting
period, the Fed announced two additional cuts of 50 basis points each, bringing
the fed funds rate to 1.00%, its lowest level since June 2003.)
The Fed's rate-cutting actions also were a response to signs of slower U.S.
economic growth, as measured by the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), a closely
watched gauge of economic performance. After declining at a annual rate of 0.2%
in the fourth quarter of 2007, GDP improved slightly to 0.9% in the first
quarter of 2008 and posted growth of 2.8% in the second quarter of 2008 (all GDP
numbers annualized). During the third quarter of 2008, however, GDP contracted
at an annual rate of 0.3%, the biggest decrease since 2001, mainly as the result
of the first decline in consumer spending since 1991 and a 19% drop in
residential investment. Driven largely by increased energy and transportation
prices, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered a 4.9% year-over-year gain as
of September 2008. The core CPI (which excludes food and energy) rose 2.5%
between October 2007 and September 2008, well above the Fed's unofficial target
of 2.0% or lower. In the labor markets, September 2008 marked the ninth
consecutive month of job losses. The national unemployment rate for September
2008 was 6.1%, its highest level in five years, up from 4.7% in September 2007.
In the municipal bond market, general concerns about the credit markets as well
as more specific concerns about municipal bond insurers with exposure to
sub-prime mortgages had a significant effect on performance. Some investors
curtailed

purchases, while hedge funds and other non-traditional buyers of municipal bonds
were forced to sell holdings of longer-maturity bonds into a market already
experiencing a lack of liquidity. Combined with the Fed rate cuts, this selling
produced a sharp steepening of the municipal yield curve, as longer-term
interest rates rose and short-term interest rates declined. In this environment,
bonds with shorter maturities generally outperformed longer maturity bonds, and
higher quality bonds tended to outperform lower quality credits.
In May 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individual states could continue
to exempt from taxation the income their residents earn on in-state municipal
bonds while taxing the income earned on municipal bonds issued in other states.
While this news was generally positive for municipal bonds, any favorable impact
was more than offset by the increasingly ominous economic situation.
Over the twelve months ended September 2008, municipal bond issuance nationwide
totaled $457.4 billion, a decrease of 2% from the previous twelve months. The
decline during the month of September 2008 was more dramatic with new issuance
down more then 20% from that of September 2007. Despite disruptions in the
markets, institutional investors, retail investors and non-traditional buyers of
municipal bonds continued to provide support for new municipal issuance during
this period.
HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS IN NEW YORK DURING THIS PERIOD?
After ranking as the second fastest growing state economy in 2007, New York's
economy cooled rapidly in 2008, due largely to the state's substantial exposure
to the continued turmoil in the financial sector. Weak performance by major
financial firms, bankruptcies and mergers, and the projected loss of at least
65,000 jobs in New York City's financial district through early 2010 all had
large implications for state finances, as Wall Street firms typically account
for about 20% of the state's tax revenues. Upstate, broad-based economic
declines in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse also weighed on the state's
economic health. Most of the jobs lost in New York since the beginning of 2008
have been in the finance, manufacturing and construction sectors, and gains in
education, health services and leisure and hospitality employment failed to
offset this decline. As of September 2008, the unemployment rate in New York was
5.8%, up from 4.5% in September 2007, the highest level since June 2004. The
housing market slump has also added to the state's economic slowdown. Home
foreclosures and mortgage delinquency rates continued to rise, although the
decline has not been as precipitous in New York as nationally. In New York City,
for example, housing prices fell 6.9% between September 2007 and August 2008,
compared with an average decrease of 16.6% nationwide, according to the Standard
& Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index of twenty major metropolitan areas. This
placed New York fifteenth among the index's twenty cities in loss of home value.
5
As of September 30, 2008, Moody's, Standard &Poor's (S&P), and Fitch rated New
York general obligation debt at Aa3/AA/AA-, respectively. Both Moody's and S&P,
which confirmed their ratings in September 2008, maintained stable outlooks for
the state. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, municipal issuance in
New York totaled $45.0 billion, up almost 30% from the previous twelve months.
This lifted New York to a position as the second largest state issuer, behind
California. Among the larger issues that came to market during this period were
$1.1 billion in bonds issued by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority in
July 2008 and $950 million in New York City credits in September 2008. In
general, the New York municipal market held up well over this period, due mainly
to the large retail demand for municipal bonds.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE NEW YORK FUNDS DURING THIS
REPORTING PERIOD?
During this twelve-month period, as the municipal bond market was characterized
by volatility and a steepening yield curve, we sought to capitalize on the
turbulent environment by continuing to focus on finding relative value by using
a fundamental approach to find sectors and individual credits with the potential
to perform well over the long term.
As events unfolded, we found attractive opportunities in various sectors. Early
in the period, we added to the Funds' positions in health care and industrial
development revenue bonds. When the auctions for preferred securities began to
fail in February 2008 and liquidity became an issue in the marketplace, we
focused on bonds that would maintain and enhance the Funds' liquidity. This
included higher quality securities that we believed would be easier to sell if
the need arose.
To provide liquidity for purchases, we sold holdings with shorter durations and
took advantage of strong bids to sell bonds that were attractive to the retail
market. In addition, some of our new purchases were funded with proceeds from
bond calls.
As a key dimension of risk management, we employed a disciplined approach to
duration(1) positioning as an important component of our management strategies.
As part of this approach, we used inverse floating rate securities(2), a type of
derivative financial instrument, in all four of these Funds. Inverse floaters
typically provide the dual benefit of bringing the Funds' durations closer to
our strategic target and enhancing their income-generation capabilities. All of
the Funds also invested in other types of derivatives to lengthen the Funds'
durations and help us manage their common share net asset value (NAV) volatility
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.

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.

Bond Index(6) -2.10% 5.15% N/A
For the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, the total returns on common
share NAV for all four New York Funds in this report exceeded the average return
for the Lipper New York Municipal Debt Funds Average while all four Funds
underperformed the returns for the Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Bond
Index and the S&P New York Municipal Bond Index.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns included yield curve
and duration positioning, the use of derivatives, credit exposure and sector
allocations.
Over the period, bonds with maturities of less than five years, especially those
maturing in two to four years, benefited the most, while bonds having the
longest maturities (twenty-two years and longer) posted the worst returns. Among
these Funds, NNY had the best duration positioning, that is, this Fund was more
heavily weighted in the areas of the yield curve that performed well during the
period. This was due, in part, to the fact that NNY is unleveraged, since
leverage has the tendency to lengthen a Fund's duration.
As mentioned earlier, all four of these Funds used derivative positions during
this period to synthetically extend duration and move them closer to our
strategic target. Despite the fact that longer duration municipal bonds
generally underperformed those with shorter durations, the use of these
derivatives had a positive overall

impact on the total return performance of these Funds. This positive impact was
attributable to the fact that the derivative positions provided exposure to
taxable markets during a period when taxable securities generally performed well
when compared with their taxable non-counterparts.
On the other hand, the inverse floaters used by these Funds generally had a
negative impact on performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse
floaters effectively increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds at a
time when shorter maturities were in favor in the market.
While duration played a significant role in performance during this period,
credit exposure was also an important factor. Because risk-averse investors
generally sought higher quality investments as disruptions in the financial and
housing markets deepened, bonds with higher credit quality ratings typically
performed very well. At the same time, as many investors avoided high-yield
paper, bonds rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds generally posted poor
returns.
Sectors of the market that generally contributed to the Funds' performance
included general obligation bonds, resource recovery, and water and sewer.
Pre-refunded bonds(7), which are often backed by U.S. Treasury bonds, were one
of the top performing segments of the market, due primarily to their shorter
effective maturities, higher credit quality, and perceived safety. Holdings of
pre-refunded bonds ranged from 4% to 11% among the portfolios of these four
Funds.
In general, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector, continued
to post weak performance. Revenue bonds as a whole, and the industrial
development sector in particular, underperformed the general municipal market,
while zero coupon bonds were among the worst performing categories. The health
care (including continuing care retirement communities) and housing sectors also
performed poorly, as did lower-rated bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco
settlement agreement.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
One of the primary factors impacting the annual returns of NNP, NAN and NXK
relative to those of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Bond
Index and S&P New York Municipal Bond Index was the Funds' use of financial
leverage. (NNY is unleveraged.) While leverage offers opportunities to generate
additional income and total returns for common shareholders, the benefits
provided by leveraging are influenced by the price movements of the bonds in
each Fund's portfolio. During this period, as yields on longer-term bonds rose
and their prices correspondingly fell, declining valuations had a negative
effect on performance that was magnified by the use of leverage. In addition, at
various points during the twelve-month period, the Funds' borrowing costs were
relatively high, negatively impacting

their total returns. In the turbulent market environment of the past twelve
months, the impact of any valuation change in the Funds' holdings--whether
positive or negative--was magnified by the use of leverage.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CURRENT MARKET ENVIRONMENT
As this reporting period drew to a close, the nation's financial institutions
and financial markets--including the municipal bond market--experienced
significant turmoil. Reductions in demand decreased valuations of municipal
bonds across all credit ratings, especially those with lower credit ratings, and
this generally reduced the Funds' net asset values. The municipal market is one
in which dealer firms make markets in bonds on a principal basis using their
proprietary capital, and during the recent market turmoil these firms' capital
was severely constrained. As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their
capital to purchase and to serve as a dealer for municipal bonds. This reduction
in dealer involvement in the market was accompanied by significant net selling
pressure by investors, particularly with respect to lower-rated municipal bonds,
as institutional investors generally removed money from the municipal bond
market, at least in part because of their need to reduce the leveraging of their
municipal investments. This de-leveraging was in part driven by the overall
reduction in the amount of financing available for such leverage, the increased
costs of such leverage financing, and the need to reduce leverage levels that
had recently increased due to the decline in municipal bond prices.
Municipal bond prices were further negatively impacted by concerns that the need
for further de-leveraging and a supply overhang as a large amount of new issues
were postponed in recent weeks would cause selling pressure to persist for a
period of time. In addition to falling prices, these market conditions resulted
in greater price volatility of municipal bonds; wider credit spreads (i.e.,
lower quality bonds fell in price more than higher quality bonds); significantly
reduced liquidity (i.e., the ability to sell bonds at a price close to their
carrying value), particularly for lower quality bonds; and a lack of price
transparency (i.e., the ability to accurately determine the price at which a
bond would likely trade). Reduced liquidity was most pronounced in mid-October
(after the end of the reporting period for this shareholder report), and
although liquidity improved considerably over ensuing weeks, it may reoccur if
financial turmoil persists or worsens.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of these Funds was their
position in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that experienced downgrades
in their credit ratings. During the period covered by this report, ACA, AMBAC,
CIFG, FGIC, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA (formerly XLCA) experienced one or more
rating reductions by at least one or more rating agencies. Subsequent to the
reporting period, AMBAC, MBIA and SYNCORA experienced further rating reductions
by at
9
least one rating agency. At the time this report was prepared, at least one
rating agency has placed each of these insurers on "negative outlook" or
"negative credit watch," which may presage one or more rating reductions for
such insurer or insurers in the future. As concern increased about the balance
sheets of these insurers, prices on bonds insured by these companies -
especially those bonds with weaker underlying credits - declined, detracting
from the Funds' performance. However, on the whole, the holdings of all of our
Funds continued to be well diversified not only between insured and uninsured
bonds, but also within the insured bond category. It is important to note that
municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the auction rate 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 rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell
their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity
in auction rate preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these
shares, and auction rate preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares
received distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as
calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the auction rate
preferred shares.
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen announced the Fund Board's approval of plans to use
tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, to refinance
a portion of the municipal Funds' outstanding auction rate preferred shares, for
which auctions have been failing for several months. This plan included an
initial phase of approximately $1 billion in forty-one Funds. During the
twelve-month reporting period, NNP, NAN and NXK redeemed $36,650,000,
$17,600,000 and $12,900,000 of their outstanding auction rate preferred shares,
respectively, at liquidation value, using the proceeds from the issuance of
TOBs.
On August 7, 2008, four municipal Funds (none of which are included in this
shareholder report) issued par redemption notices for all outstanding shares of
their auction rate preferred shares totaling $569.9 million. These redemptions
were achieved through the issuance of variable rate demand preferred shares
(VRDP) in conjunction with the proceeds from the creation of TOBs.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, all of the Funds in this report except NNY use leverage to
potentially enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders.
While this strategy continued to provide incremental income, the extent of this
benefit was reduced to some degree by the borrowing costs associated with
leverage, which were relatively high at some points during the period. Some of
the Funds' income streams also were impacted as the proceeds from older,
higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were reinvested into bonds
currently available in the market, which generally offered lower yields than the
maturing or called bonds. During the twelve-month period ended September 30,
2008, these factors resulted in one monthly dividend reduction in NNP and NAN
during June 2008 and March 2008, respectively. Subsequently, the dividends of
NAN as well as NXK were increased, effective September 2008. The dividend of NNY
remained stable throughout this reporting period.
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)
NNY $0.0108 --
NNP $0.0294 $0.0009
NAN $0.0682 --
NXK $0.0402 --
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess
11
constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each
Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to
shareholders. As of September 30, 2008, NNY had positive UNII balances for both
tax and financial statement purposes, while NNP, NAN and NXK had positive UNII
balances for tax purposes and negative UNII balances for financial statement
purposes.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
On July 30, 2008, the Board of Directors/Trustees for each of Nuveen's 120
closed-end Funds approved a program under which each Fund may repurchase up to
10% of its common shares. No common shares were cumulatively repurchased by
these New York Funds during the twelve-month reporting period ended September
30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, the Funds' common share prices were trading at
discounts to their common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:
9/30/08 Twelve-Month Average

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc.,
Nuveen New York Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2
(the "Funds") as of September 30, 2008, and the related statements of operations
for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of September 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from
brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Performance Plus
Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and
Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 at September 30, 2008, the
results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

public accounting firm): Using the higher of Standard &
Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor

rated securities.

variable rate and demand features which qualify it as a
short-term investment. The rate disclosed is that in effect
at the end of the reporting period. This rate changes
periodically based on market conditions or a specified
market index.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NNY), Nuveen
New York Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. (NNP), Nuveen New York Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund (NAN) and Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal
Fund 2 (NXK) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of New York Value (NNY),
New York Performance Plus (NNP) and New York Dividend Advantage (NAN) are traded
on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of New York Dividend
Advantage 2 (NXK) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end
management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
New York state income taxes 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. Futures
contracts are valued using the closing settlement price, or, in the absence of
such a price, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. If the pricing service is
unable to supply a price for an investment or derivative instrument, 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 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 September 30, 2008, New
York Performance Plus (NNP) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery
purchase commitments of $987,141. There were no such outstanding purchase
commitments in any of the other Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
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, 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.
55
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 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 fiscal year ended September 30,
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
New York Value (NNY) is not authorized to issue Preferred shares. The Funds
below 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 determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process
overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. As
of September 30, 2008, the number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and
in total, for each Fund is as follows:

================================================================================
56
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" applicable to failed auctions as calculated
in accordance with the preestablished 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 likely be higher, at least
temporarily, 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.
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") announced the Fund Board's
approval of plans to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as "floaters" or
floating rate obligations, to refinance a portion of the municipal funds'
outstanding auction rate preferred securities (ARPS), whose auctions have been
failing for several months. The plan included an initial phase of approximately
$1 billion in forty-one funds. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008,
New York Performance Plus (NNP), New York Dividend Advantage (NAN) and New York
Dividend Advantage 2 (NXK) redeemed $36,650,000, $17,600,000 and $12,900,000 of
their outstanding Preferred shares, respectively, at liquidation value, using
the proceeds from the issuance of TOBs.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the
Fund the right (a) to cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to
tender their notes at par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate
bond held by the trust to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment
in an externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater is accounted for as a financing transaction in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (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 the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate
certificates is included as a component of "Interest expense on floating rate
obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
Each 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. Under these
agreements, a Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse
floaters increases beyond the value of the investments included on the Fund's
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as the Fund may potentially be liable to
fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating rate certificates.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, each Fund invested in
externally deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.

Average annual interest rate and fees 2.59% 2.90% 2.90% 2.86%
====================================================================================================================
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. All of the Funds invested
in forward interest rate swap transactions during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2008.
Futures Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a
futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of
cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the
contract is closed or
58
expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between
the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when
originally entered into. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin
requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities
reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin, when applicable. New
York Value (NNY) was the only Fund to invest in futures contracts during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.
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
Common Shares
On July 30, 2008, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved a program
under which each Fund may repurchase an aggregate of up to approximately 10% of
its outstanding Common shares. The Funds did not repurchase any of their Common
shares during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

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 Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen, and a
specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each
individual Fund, and for New York Value (NNY) a gross interest income component.
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.
New York Value (NNY) pays an annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, of .15% of
the average daily net assets of the Fund, as well as 4.125% of the gross
interest income (excluding interest on bonds underlying a "self-deposited
inverse floater" trust that is attributed to the Fund over and above the net
interest earned on the inverse floater itself) of the Fund.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund (excluding New York
Value (NNY)) is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows:
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS
(INCLUDING NET ASSETS NEW YORK PERFORMANCE PLUS (NNP)
ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .4500%
For the next $125 million .4375
For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750

For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For net assets over $2 billion .3750
================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As
of September 30, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .1947%.
62
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989

$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the United States, with such daily net assets to
include assets attributable to preferred stock issued by or borrowings by
such funds but to exclude assets attributable to investments in other
Nuveen-sponsored funds.
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 New York Dividend Advantage's (NAN) 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 below:

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement on Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157 (SFAS 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 September 30, 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 (SFAS 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 and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of September 30, 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.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the
last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit, expense reimbursement and legal fee refund,
where applicable.
*** Rounds to less than $.01 per share.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.
N/A Fund is not authorized to issue Preferred shares.

Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in
substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its
investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its
continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including
by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory
agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "Independent Board
Members"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering
such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members must
request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such
information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory
agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 28-29, 2008 (the "May
Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be)(each, a
"Board" and each Trustee or Director, a "Board Member") of the Funds, including
a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the
continuation of the advisory agreement (each, an "Advisory Agreement") between
each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held
a separate meeting on April 23, 2008 (the "April Meeting"). Accordingly, the
factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the
Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.
In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, as described in further
detail below, the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of
information relating to the Funds and NAM, including absolute performance, fee
and expense information for the Funds as well as comparative performance, fee
and expense information for a comparable peer group of funds, the performance
information of recognized benchmarks (as applicable), the profitability of
Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned
subsidiaries), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and
services provided by NAM. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as
well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account
the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom.
Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board
Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel
and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel
describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and
met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management
present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by
independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of NAM, its services
and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout
the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be
considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have
accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her
conclusions with respect to a Fund's Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board
Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The
Independent Board Members' considerations were instead based on a comprehensive
consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered
by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members
considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, including advisory
services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed
materials outlining, among other things, NAM's organization and business; the
types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide
to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in
further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable
fund product line. With respect to personnel, the
74
Independent Board Members evaluated the background, experience and track record
of NAM's investment personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members
considered the additional investment in personnel to support Nuveen fund
advisory activities, including in operations, product management and marketing
as well as related fund support functions, including sales, executive, finance,
human resources and information technology. The Independent Board Members also
reviewed information regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to
evaluate NAM's ability to attract and retain high quality investment personnel.
In evaluating the services of NAM, the Independent Board Members also considered
NAM's ability to supervise the Funds' other service providers and given the
importance of compliance, NAM's compliance program. Among other things, the
Independent Board Members considered the report of the chief compliance officer
regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including
product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers,
shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and
portfolio compliance and legal support.
In addition to the foregoing services, the Independent Board Members also noted
the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds,
including, in particular, its secondary market support activities and the costs
of such activities. The Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's continued
commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its
closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and
analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include
maintaining an investor relations program to timely provide information and
education to financial advisers and investors; providing advertising and
marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining its closed-end fund website; and
providing educational seminars. With respect to closed-end funds that utilize
leverage through the issuance of auction rate preferred securities ("ARPS"), the
Board has recognized the unprecedented market conditions in the auction rate
market industry with the failure of the auction process. The Independent Board
Members noted Nuveen's efforts and the resources and personnel employed to
analyze the situation, explore potential alternatives and develop and implement
solutions that serve the interests of the affected funds and all of their
respective shareholders. The Independent Board Members further noted Nuveen's
commitment and efforts to keep investors and financial advisers informed as to
its progress in addressing the ARPS situation through, among other things,
conference calls, press releases, and information posted on its website as well
as its refinancing activities. The Independent Board Members also noted Nuveen's
continued support for holders of preferred shares of its closed-end funds by,
among other things, seeking distribution for preferred shares with new market
participants, managing relations with remarketing agents and the broker
community, maintaining the leverage and risk management of leverage and
maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency criteria.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the
nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to
the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including the
Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with
similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data
provided by an independent third party (as described below). The Independent
Board Members also reviewed portfolio level performance (which does not reflect
fund level fees, expenses and leverage), as described in further detail below.
In evaluating the performance information, the Board considered whether the Fund
has operated within its investment objectives and parameters and the impact that
the investment mandates may have had on performance. In addition, in comparing a
Fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the
75
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
Independent Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer
Group in certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund's
investment objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison
of the fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group.
The Independent Board Members also recognized that certain funds lack comparable
peers in which case their performance is measured against a more general
municipal category for various states. The closed-end municipal funds that do
not have corresponding state-specific Performance Peer Groups are from states
other than New York, California, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan, and
Pennsylvania.
The Independent Board Members reviewed performance information including, among
other things, total return information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer
Group and recognized benchmarks for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as
applicable) ending December 31, 2007 and with the Performance Peer Group for the
quarter and same yearly periods ending March 31, 2008 (as applicable). The
Independent Board Members also reviewed the Fund's portfolio level performance
(which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses (and leverage for
closed-end funds)) compared to recognized benchmarks for the one- three, and
five-year periods ending December 31, 2007 (as applicable). The analysis was
used to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate measures
of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This information
supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of
its quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members
determined that each Fund's investment performance over time had been
satisfactory.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund
reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees
(which take into account breakpoints), net management fees (which take
into account fee waivers or reimbursements) and total expense ratios
(before and after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute
terms as well as compared to the gross management fees, net management
fees (after waivers and/or reimbursements) and total expense ratios
(before and after waivers) of a comparable universe of unaffiliated
funds based on data provided by an independent data provider (the
"Peer Universe") and/or a more focused subset of funds therein (the
"Peer Group"). The Independent Board Members further reviewed data
regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as the methods of
measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the performance
analysis. In reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information,
the Independent Board Members took into account that in certain
instances various factors such as the size of the Fund relative to
peers, the size and particular composition of the Peer Group, the
investment objectives of the peers, expense anomalies, and the timing
of information used may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting
the ability to make a meaningful comparison. The Independent Board
Members also considered, among other things, the differences in the
use of leverage and the differences in the use of insurance as well as
the states reflected in a respective Peer Group for the state
municipal funds (such as the use of a general "other states" category
for closed-end state funds (other than New York and California)). In
reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members
also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules
(described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and
reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for
certain closed-end funds launched since 1999). Based on their review
of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board
Members determined that each Fund's management fees and net total
expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and
quality of services provided to the Fund.
76
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding
the nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients.
Such other clients include NAM's municipal separately managed
accounts. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board
Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other
clients vary, among other things, because of the different services
involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements
associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds.
Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences
in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services
provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs
thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account
sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members
noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds
(as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to
separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the
products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds,
the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different
levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members
also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory
activities (which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated
sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board
Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory
activities for the last two years and the allocation methodology used
in preparing the profitability data. The Independent Board Members
noted this information supplemented the profitability information
requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of
developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers
and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the
Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an
Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them
apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies
during the year. The Independent Board Members considered Nuveen's
profitability compared with other fund sponsors prepared by two
independent third party service providers as well as comparisons of
the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated
management firms with similar amounts of assets under management
prepared by Nuveen.
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized
the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be
affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses.
Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in
making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is
not publicly available and the profitability information that is
available for certain advisers or management firms may not be
representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other
things, the adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of
funds managed and expense allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen's
methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to
determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board
Members recognized Nuveen's investment in its fund business.
Based on its review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen's level
of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the
services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board
Members also considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as well as any
indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its
affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable
to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional
information on indirect benefits NAM may receive as a result of its relationship
with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each
Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and
expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
77
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members recognized the
potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger
asset base. The Independent Board Members therefore considered whether the Funds
have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is
potential realization of any further economies of scale. In considering
economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized that economies
of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a
fund-by-fund basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one method to help ensure the
shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory
fee schedule. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered
the fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory
fees. In this regard, given that the Funds are closed-end funds, the Independent
Board Members recognized that although the Funds may from time to time make
additional share offerings, the growth in their assets will occur primarily
through appreciation of each Fund's investment portfolio.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered
the Funds' complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee
arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Independent Board Members
recognized that the complex-wide fee schedule was recently revised in 2007 to
provide for additional fee savings to shareholders and considered the amended
schedule. The Independent Board Members further considered that the complex-wide
fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund
shareholders when total fund complex assets increase, even if assets of a
particular fund are unchanged or have decreased. The approach reflects the
notion that some of Nuveen's costs are attributable to services provided to all
its funds in the complex and therefore all funds benefit if these costs are
spread over a larger asset base. Based on their review, the Independent Board
Members concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement
were acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to
shareholders.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered
information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits NAM or its
affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates
of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's preferred trading desk and for serving
as a co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange traded
funds.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM
received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that
may be useful to NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The
Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar
arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that
occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless
principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends
to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect
benefits received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Funds were
reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
78
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed
previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Advisory
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS 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.
[] 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.
[] 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.

The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees determined that the registrant
has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of
Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For
engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all
audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the
Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval
exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The
pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the
pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest
services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes
no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its
accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the
Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the
engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's
attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the
audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its
Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP
provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the
engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting
(except for those subject to the de minimis exception described above). The
Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about
any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last

by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services
to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts
greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under
$10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at
the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under
$5,000.
ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees has a separately designated
Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The
members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans, Terence J.
Toth, William J. Schneider and David J. Kundert.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash
management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or
through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer
whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are
expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of
acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the
municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or
facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit
problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer,
NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail
negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and
otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such
activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but
nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board of Trustees on its
control activities on a quarterly basis.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the
registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM
would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should
be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of
the registrant's Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of NAM's
legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that
records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed
with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board of
Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day
implementation of the registrant's investment strategies:
NAME FUND
Cathryn P. Steeves Nuveen New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio
manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of
the following accounts:
TYPE OF ACCOUNT NUMBER OF
PORTFOLIO MANAGER MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cathryn P. Steeves Registered Investment Company 41 $7.478 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0
Other Accounts 0 $0
* Assets are as of September 30, 2008. None of the assets in these accounts
are subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic
elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The
compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation, including
these three elements, to the market in order to create a compensation structure
that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As
discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio
manager's total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among
others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the
portfolio manager's investment team, the investment performance of the accounts
managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen
Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM). Although investment performance
is a factor in determining the portfolio manager's compensation, it is not
necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager's performance is evaluated
in part by comparing manager's performance against a specified investment
benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds
in each Fund's specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by
managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing,
Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2
million. As of October 31, 2008, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond Index was
comprised of 52,959 securities with an aggregate current market value of $1,009
billion.
Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level
determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed
above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a
portfolio manager's base salary.
Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations made
by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his
peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of
factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to
the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves
as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts,
his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and
their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and
to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also
impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its
business objectives.
Long-term incentive compensation. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen
Investments by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC in
November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit
interests in the parent company of Nuveen Investments. These profit interests
entitle the holders to participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen
Investments beyond the issue date and vest over five to seven years, or earlier
in the case of a liquidity event.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous management
of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or
apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of
securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the other account. NAM,
however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that
the NAM has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of
interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are
designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for
portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation
of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a
non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account
performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager, although the
allocation procedures may provide allocation preferences to funds with special
characteristics (such as favoring state funds versus national funds for
allocations of in-state bonds). In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct
that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of September 30, 2008, the portfolio
manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities
issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal
investment team.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER BIO:
