WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL REPORTING PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004? During this 12-month period, the U.S. economy demonstrated improvement in a number of key areas, although the pace of recovery slowed somewhat toward the end of the fiscal year. Economic growth, as measured by the gross domestic product (GDP), expanded at annualized rates of 4.2% in the fourth quarter of 2003 and 4.5% in the first quarter of 2004. During the second quarter of 2004, however, rising energy prices restrained consumer spending and negatively impacted economic momentum. GDP growth for the second quarter moderated to 3.3% annualized. As we moved into the third quarter, job growth and consumer confidence continued to lag while oil prices remained high. The higher energy costs of the second half of this fiscal year were also responsible for some renewed speculation about a potential pick-up in inflation. Although monthly gains in consumer prices were relatively tame, the Consumer Price Index rose at an annualized rate of 3.5% for the first nine months of 2004, compared with 1.9% for all of 2003. Beginning in the spring of 2004, inflation concerns, the slowing pace of economic recovery, and continued geopolitical uncertainty acted as catalysts for heightened volatility in the fixed-income markets. As one example, the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index (BB25), a widely followed municipal bond index, stood at 5.20% when this reporting period began on October 1, 2003. The BB25 yield then dropped steadily over the next six months to 4.73% by mid-March 2004. As a series of improved employment reports sparked increased anticipation that the Federal Reserve might move to raise short-term interest rates, the index yield began to climb, rising more than 80 basis points over the next 12 weeks to 5.45%. By the end of September 2004, more bond-friendly news--including indications of slower economic growth and relatively benign inflation--had prompted a retreat to 5.02%. While intermediate and long-term interest rates were moving up and then down, short-term rates rose. The Federal Reserve introduced three one-quarter-point increases in the fed funds rate between June and September 2004, raising the target rate by a total of 75 4 basis points to 1.75%. As a result, we saw some flattening of the yield curve. The Fed continued to note that it anticipated taking a "measured" approach to further tightening as a way to promote a sustainable recovery without increasing inflationary pressures. During this 12-month reporting period, municipal bond supply nationwide remained relatively strong, although the $361.8 billion in new bonds that came to market represented a decrease of about 9% from the preceding 12-month period. In contrast to much of 2003, when many states were issuing bonds to bridge budget gaps and fund operations, an improving (albeit slow-growing) economy and higher tax revenues lessened many issuers' need to borrow. In September 2004 alone, national new issue supply was off 24% from the previous year. HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK? Over the 12-month period, New York continued to recover from the general economic slowdown that affected the entire nation in the wake of September 11, 2001. The jobless rate in New York dropped significantly over the fiscal year, from 6.4% in September 2003 to 5.5% in September 2004. This was the lowest it had been since August 2001, and was generally in line with the national average of 5.4%. Overall, strong job growth in the construction, tourism and business services sectors more than offset continued losses in the manufacturing sector. While New York, along with many other states, has grappled with budgetary pressures over the past few years, the state ended fiscal 2004 on March 31 with a general fund surplus. In New York City, the employment picture also improved substantially, as the jobless rate dropped from 8.4% in September 2003 to 6.9% in September 2004. At the close of fiscal 2004, the city announced that tax revenues for the year had exceeded projections, with initial reports indicating a surplus in excess of $1 billion. From October 2003 through September 2004, issuers in New York brought $36.7 billion in new municipal bonds to market, down 13% from the previous 12 months. In general, New York supply was tighter during the second half of the fiscal year, with $13.7 billion in new bonds coming to market between April and September 2004, a decrease of 40% from the previous six months. For the fiscal year, Moody's maintained its A2 rating for New York state and, in September 2004, placed the state on its watch list for a possible upgrade based on improving liquidity. Also in September, Standard & Poor's reconfirmed its AA state rating and revised its outlook to stable from negative, citing improvements in the state's econ- 5 omy. As of September 2004, Moody's rated New York City A2, while S&P had assigned an A rating. Moody's and S&P both turned their outlooks for the city to stable from negative during 2003. IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE NUVEEN NEW YORK FUNDS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004? As the market continued to anticipate increased interest rates, our major emphasis during this fiscal year centered on purchasing bonds with maturities that provided what we thought was the best total return potential, and on aligning the Funds to have more equivalent interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a Fund's portfolio will decline if market interest rates rise (since bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates). Our purchase activity focused primarily on attractive securities in the intermediate part of the yield curve (i.e., bonds that mature in 10 to 20 years). In many cases, bonds in this part of the curve offered yields similar to those of longer-term bonds with less inherent interest rate risk and, we believed, greater total return prospects. To accommodate these purchases, we sold bonds with longer or shorter effective maturities than this intermediate, 10-20 year range. These sell decisions depended on several factors, including the individual Fund's income stream and duration.1 One of our goals, over time, has been to bring the effective maturities and durations of these Funds more closely in line with those of the general New York market. We think this positioning should help the Funds to produce more consistent returns over time. We balanced our desire to position the Funds effectively with the desire to trade only when we believed we could add value. As noted, municipal supply in New York declined over the fiscal year, and new bonds became even more scarce in the second half of the period. In addition, many of the issues that did come to market were smaller than in the past, affording fewer opportunities to make sizable purchases. As a result, turnover in each Fund's portfolio was relatively low over the 12-month period. The tight supply also led to our purchasing many of the same bonds for each of the four Funds--NQN, NVN, NUN and NNF--that can only purchase insured bonds. Although we sought to take advantage of the ability of NKO and NRK to invest up to 20% of their portfolios in uninsured investment-grade quality securities by buying A and BBB rated bonds, most of our purchases for these two Funds during this period were rated AAA and AA. This reflected a relatively limited supply of attractive, lower-rated securities. However, we were able to maintain holdings of BBB credits in both Funds at about 5% as of September 30, 2004. 1 Duration is a measure of a bond's or a Fund's net asset value (NAV) sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In this report, duration refers to the Fund's modified duration, prior to any adjustment for leverage. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore results in a generally longer duration than the modified duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund. References to duration in this commentary are not leverage adjusted unless otherwise noted. 6 Among the additions we made to all six of the Funds during this period were New York City general obligation bonds (GOs). In general, we believed the city's credit profile had stabilized, and we took advantage of several of the larger issues that came to market during this period to increase our exposure, adding A rated New York GOs to NKO and NRK and insured New York GOs to NQN, NVN, NUN and NNF. There was a supply/demand imbalance that drove up the prices of uninsured New York bonds relative to those issued in other states, and New York City's improving credit picture also caused the city GOs to perform well over the course of the fiscal year. HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? Individual results for the Funds, as well as for relevant benchmarks, are presented in the accompanying table. TOTAL RETURNS ON NET ASSET VALUE For periods ended 9/30/04 (Annualized) 1-YEAR 5-YEAR 10-YEAR ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NQN 6.61% 9.54% 7.37% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NVN 7.27% 9.01% 7.39% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NUN 6.41% 8.54% 7.52% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NNF 6.40% 8.62% 8.38% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKO 8.48% NA NA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NRK 8.58% NA NA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lehman Brothers New York Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Index2 4.54% 7.28% 6.95% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lipper New York Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average3 6.47% 8.27% 7.43% ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Past performance is not predictive of future results. For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2004, the total returns on net asset value (NAV) for all six Funds in this report outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers index. NQN, NVN, NKO and NRK also outperformed the average return for the Lipper New York Insured peer group for this period, while NUN and NNF slightly underperformed this measure. 2 The Lehman Brothers New York Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of insured New York municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses. 3 The Lipper New York Insured Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in this category for each period as follows: 1 year, 13 funds; 5 years, 7 funds; and 10 years, 6 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 7 One of the primary factors benefiting the 12-month performances of these six Funds relative to that of the unleveraged Lehman index was their use of leverage. While leveraging can add volatility to the Funds' NAVs and share prices, especially when substantial shifts in interest rates occur, this strategy can also provide opportunities for additional income and total returns for common shareholders when short-term interest rates remain low and long-term rates are steady or falling. NKO and NRK, also benefited from their 5% allocations of BBB bonds, a relatively large allocation for an insured fund. Lower-rated bonds generally outperformed higher-quality sectors as the economy improved. Among the lower-rated credits making positive contributions to the total returns of NKO and NRK during this period were those issued in the healthcare sector, especially hospital bonds. As of September 30, 2004, exposure to the healthcare sector was 16% in NKO and 14% in NRK. The remaining four Funds also benefited from their weightings of healthcare bonds--15% in NQN, 12% in NVN, 9% in NUN, and 13% in NNF--as the performance of the healthcare sector as a whole ranked second among the Lehman Brothers index revenue sectors for the year. However, as it was primarily lower-rated healthcare bonds that were responsible for the sector's outstanding performance, the four 100% insured Funds were unable to benefit to the same extent as NKO and NRK. The returns of NKO and NRK also were boosted by the strong performance of their holdings of uninsured bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement. Over this period, the two Funds maintained exposures of 6% to tobacco bonds. In general, the majority of the performance differential relative to peers among the other four 100% insured Funds was due to specific security and sector situations. NVN, for example, had a considerable number of advance refundings, including some of its New York City holdings, which benefited the Fund through price appreciation. NNF, on the other hand, had a significant number of bond calls over this period. Bonds with short effective maturities, such as those about to be called, generally do not perform as well as longer-maturity bonds in periods of generally favorable market conditions like much of the past year. HOW ABOUT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES? With short-term interest rates remaining at or near historically low levels throughout this reporting period, the leveraged structures of these Funds continued to support their dividend-paying capabilities. The extent of this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates these leveraged Funds pay their MuniPreferred, shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, the Funds generally pay relatively lower dividends to their 8 MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. During this reporting period, this strategy helped to maintain the dividends of NQN, NVN, NUN, NNF and NKO throughout the period. In addition, common shareholders of NQN, NVN, NUN and NKO received substantial capital gains and net ordinary income distributions of $0.4154, $0.2745, $0.2570 and $0.1154 per share, respectively, at the end of December 2003. However, given the low interest rate environment since NRK was assembled in late 2002, this Fund had fewer opportunities to build its income stream. When the Fed began to raise short-term rates in June 2004, this also increased NRK's borrowing costs, necessitating a dividend cut in September 2004. All of these Funds seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of September 30, 2004, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for both financial statement and tax purposes, except NRK, which had a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes but a positive UNIIbalance for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2004, all six of these Funds were trading at discounts to their NAVs. These discounts were generally in line with the Funds' average discounts over the entire 12-month reporting period. HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2004? Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, we continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of the end of September 2004, NQN, NVN, NUN, and NNF continued to be 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities, while NKO and NRK held 84% and 85% of their portfolios, respectively, in insured bonds as of September 30, 2004. At the end of September 2004, potential call exposure for these Funds during 2004-2006 ranged from 1% in NKO and NRK to 9% in NUN and 12% in NQN, NVN, and NNF. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends largely on market interest rates. 9 Nuveen New York Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The New York Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen New York Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQN), Nuveen New York Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NVN), Nuveen New York Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NUN), Nuveen Insured New York Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NNF), Nuveen Insured New York Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKO) and Nuveen Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NRK). All of the Funds' Common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange, with the exception of Insured New York Dividend Advantage's (NKO) Common shares and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage's (NRK) Common shares, which trade on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies. Prior to the commencement of operations of Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK), the Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. and the recording of the organization expenses ($11,500) and its reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and New York state income taxes, and in the case of Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of New York. 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. Securities Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. If it is determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At September 30, 2004, New York Investment Quality (NQN) and Insured New York Premium Income (NNF) had outstanding when-issued purchase commitments of $1,626,586 and $787,058, respectively. 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. 57 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute all net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and New York state income taxes, and in the case of Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions made by the Funds are subject to federal taxation. Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: INSURED INSURED INSURED NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK INVESTMENT SELECT QUALITY PREMIUM DIVIDEND TAX-FREE QUALITY QUALITY INCOME INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE (NQN) (NVN) (NUN) (NNF) (NKO) (NRK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 960 -- 2,200 1,320 -- -- Series T 2,400 1,720 -- 1,280 -- -- Series W -- 2,400 2,200 -- -- -- Series TH -- 3,600 2,400 -- 2,440 1,080 Series F 2,400 -- 1,080 -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 5,760 7,720 7,880 2,600 2,440 1,080 ======================================================================================================== Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) issued the Preferred shares listed above on January 17, 2003. Insurance New York Investment Quality (NQN), New York Select Quality (NVN), New York Quality Income (NUN) and Insured New York Premium Income (NNF) invest in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered by insurance. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or (ii) municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. 58 Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale. Forward Swap Transactions The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to mitigate the negative impact that an increase in long-term interest rates could have on Common share net earnings. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment. The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional or nominal amount of the forward swap contract. The Funds may close out a contract prior to the effective date. When a forward swap is terminated, it does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash. Each Fund intends to, 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 minimize such credit risk, all counterparties are required to segregate 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. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. The Funds help reduce the credit risks associated with forward swap transactions by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the swap counterparties. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Offering Costs Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all Common share offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK). Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage's (NRK) share of Common share offering costs ($105,000) was recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares. Costs incurred by Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) in connection with its offering of Preferred shares ($682,165) was recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus. Indemnifications Under the Funds' organizational documents, its 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.

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 treatment of paydown gains and losses on investments, timing differences in recognizing income on taxable market discount securities and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on security transactions. At September 30, 2004, the cost of investments was as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK INVESTMENT SELECT QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY INCOME (NQN) (NVN) (NUN) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments $396,175,259 $520,334,866 $530,129,819 ================================================================================ INSURED INSURED INSURED NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PREMIUM DIVIDEND TAX-FREE INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE (NNF) (NKO) (NRK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost of investments $183,988,665 $172,722,842 $75,221,120 ================================================================================ Gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation of investments at September 30, 2004, were as follows: NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK INVESTMENT SELECT QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY INCOME (NQN) (NVN) (NUN) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross unrealized: Appreciation $35,147,748 $44,375,553 $41,665,529 Depreciation (242,805) (271,710) (296,826) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investments $34,904,943 $44,103,843 $41,368,703 ================================================================================ INSURED INSURED INSURED NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK PREMIUM DIVIDEND TAX-FREE INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE (NNF) (NKO) (NRK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross unrealized: Appreciation $13,380,956 $10,727,962 $2,621,406 Depreciation (160,756) (223,170) (54,424) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net unrealized appreciation of investments $13,220,200 $10,504,792 $2,566,982 ================================================================================ The tax components of undistributed net investment income and net realized gains at September 30, 2004, were as follows: INSURED INSURED INSURED NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK INVESTMENT SELECT QUALITY PREMIUM DIVIDEND TAX-FREE QUALITY QUALITY INCOME INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE (NQN) (NVN) (NUN) (NNF) (NKO) (NRK) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undistributed net tax-exempt income $4,347,574 $5,803,988 $5,844,850 $1,939,119 $1,042,726 $125,290 Undistributed net ordinary income * -- -- 22,888 -- 3,793 -- Undistributed net long-term capital gains 4,764,907 2,942,274 2,299,750 1,429,958 912,027 -- ====================================================================================================================== * Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any. 61 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, was designated for purposes of the dividends paid deduction as follows: INSURED INSURED INSURED NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK NEW YORK INVESTMENT SELECT QUALITY PREMIUM DIVIDEND TAX-FREE QUALITY QUALITY INCOME INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2004 (NQN) (NVN) (NUN) (NNF) (NKO) (NRK) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions from net tax-exempt income $18,166,188 $23,680,573 $23,478,537 $8,168,680 $7,583,654 $3,284,113 Distributions from net ordinary income * 184,151 13,244 19,927 -- 408,937 -- Distributions from net long-term capital gains 7,666,289 6,883,383 6,542,844 -- 584,683 -- =============================================================================================================================== * Net ordinary income consists of taxable market discount income and net short-term capital gains, if any.

If not applied, the carryforward will expire in 2012. Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004 ("post-October") losses in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. Post-October losses of $11,755 were treated as having arisen on the first day of the following fiscal year. 62 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES As approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, effective August 1, 2004, a complex-wide management fee structure was adopted for all funds sponsored by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. and its affiliates. This fee structure separates each fund's management fee into two components - a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all funds assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates. Under no circumstances will this pricing structure result in a fund paying management fees at a rate higher than would otherwise have been applicable had the complex-wide management fee structure not been implemented. As a consequence of this new management fee structure, the funds' effective management fees were reduced by approximately .007% as of October 31, 2004. Effective August 1, 2004, the annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each of the Funds is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: NEW YORK INVESTMENT QUALITY (NQN) NEW YORK SELECT QUALITY (NVN) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS NEW YORK QUALITY INCOME (NUN) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS INSURED NEW YORK PREMIUM INCOME (NNF) 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 ================================================================================ AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS NEW YORK DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NKO) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS INSURED NEW YORK TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE (NRK) 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 net assets over $2 billion .3750 ================================================================================ Effective August 1, 2004, 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 follows: COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) COMPLEX-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $55 billion .2000% For the next $1 billion .1800 For the next $1 billion .1600 For the next $3 billion .1425 For the next $3 billion .1325 For the next $3 billion .1250 For the next $5 billion .1200 For the next $5 billion .1175 For the next $15 billion .1150 For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400 ================================================================================ (1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S. (2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later date.

A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit,nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on the dividends or distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBLE You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time. For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800) 257-8787. 74 Other Useful INFORMATION QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS AND PROXY VOTING INFORMATION Each Fund's (i) quarterly portfolio of investments and (ii) information regarding how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, 2004, are available without charge, upon request, by calling Nuveen Investments toll-free at (800) 257-8787 or on Nuveen's web site at www.nuveen.com.

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

The registrant's board of directors determined that the registrant has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial expert is Jack B. Evans, Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Evans has served as the registrant's audit committee financial expert from July 26, 2004 to the end of the reporting period on September 30, 2004. Prior to July 26, 2004, William E. Bennett, who was "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR served as the audit committee financial expert. Although Mr. Bennett served as the audit committee financial expert during the reporting period, he unexpectedly resigned from the Board effective April 30, 2004. Accordingly for this reporting period, the registrant did not have a designated "audit committee financial expert" from April 30, 2004 to July 26, 2004. Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and actively supervised the CFO's preparation of financial statements and other filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was actively involved in the preparation of SCI's financial statements and the resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr. Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Mr. Bennett was formerly Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of First Chicago Corporation and its principal subsidiary, The First National Bank of Chicago. As part of his role as Chief Credit Officer, Mr. Bennett set policy as to accrual of assets/loans; designated performing/non-performing assets; set the level of reserves against the credit portfolio; and determined the carrying value of credit related assets and exposure. Among other things, Mr. Bennett was also responsible for the oversight of the internal analysis function including setting ground rules for the review and preparation of financial analysis and financial statements for use in making credit and risk decisions for clients. Mr. Bennett has significant experience reviewing, analyzing and evaluating financial statements of domestic and international companies in a variety of industries with complex accounting issues. ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. NUVEEN INSURED 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 entered into on or after May 6, 2003, 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). SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE FUND AUDIT FEES BILLED AUDIT-RELATED FEES TAX FEES ALL OTHER FEES FISCAL YEAR ENDED TO FUND BILLED TO FUND BILLED TO FUND BILLED TO FUND ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 30, 2004 $ 9,504 $ 0 $ 1,399 $ 2,500 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Percentage approved N/A 0% 0% 0% pursuant to pre-approval exception ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 30, 2003 $ 8,482 $ 0 $ 386 $ 2,300 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Percentage approved N/A 0% 0% 0% pursuant to pre-approval exception ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The above "Tax Fees" were billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance and tax planning. SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with NAC ("Control Affiliate") that provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting, during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. The table also shows the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is completed.

For engagements entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the de minimis exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP independence. FISCAL YEAR ENDED TOTAL NON-AUDIT FEES BILLED TO ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE TOTAL NON-AUDIT FEES PROVIDERS (ENGAGEMENTS BILLED TO ADVISER AND RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE TOTAL NON-AUDIT FEES OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PROVIDERS (ALL OTHER BILLED TO FUND REPORTING OF THE FUND) ENGAGEMENTS) TOTAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ September 30, 2004 $ 3,899 $ 0 $ 0 $ 3,899 September 30, 2003 $ 2,686 $ 0 $ 0 $ 2,686 Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the audit committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the audit committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the audit committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the audit committee at the next audit committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000. ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS. Not applicable. ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS. See Schedule I in Item 1. ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. In the rare event that a municipal issuer held by the Fund were to issue a proxy or that the Fund were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, the Adviser 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 Fund's Board of Directors or Trustees or its representative. In the case of a conflict of interest, the proxy would be submitted to the applicable Fund's Board to determine how the proxy should be voted. A member of the Adviser's legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in accordance with Rule 204-2(c)(2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17 CFR 275.204-2(c)(2)), reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results were provided to the Board of Directors or Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.

The nominating and governance committee sets appropriate standards and requirements for nominations for new directors and reserves the right to interview all candidates and to make the final selection of any new directors.
