LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER] | Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board
Dear Shareholders,
The problems in the U.S. financial system and the slowdown in global economic
activity continue to create a very difficult environment for the U.S. economy.
The administration, the Federal Reserve System and Congress have initiated a
variety of programs directed at restoring liquidity to the financial markets,
providing financial support for critical financial institutions and stimulating
economic activity. There are encouraging signs that these initiatives are
beginning to have a constructive impact. It is not possible to predict whether
the actions taken to date will be sufficient to restore more normal conditions
in the financial markets or enable the economy to stabilize and set a course
toward recovery. However, the speed and scope of the government's actions are
very encouraging and more importantly, reflect a commitment to act decisively to
meet the economic challenges we face.
The performance information in the attached report reflects the impact of many
negative forces at work in the equity and fixed income markets. The comments by
the portfolio manager describe the strategies being used to pursue your Fund's
long term investment goals. The financial markets continue to experience serious
dislocations and thorough research and strong investment disciplines have never
been more important in identifying risks and opportunities. I hope you will read
this information carefully.
Your Fund Board is particularly sensitive to our shareholders' concerns in these
uncertain times. We believe that frequent and thorough communication is
essential in this regard and encourage you to visit the Nuveen website:
www.nuveen.com , for recent developments in all Nuveen funds. We also encourage
you to communicate with your financial consultant for answers to your questions
and to seek advice on your long term investment strategy in the current market
environment.
Nuveen continues to work on resolving the issues related to the auction rate
preferred shares situation, but the unsettled conditions in the credit markets
have slowed progress. Nuveen is actively pursuing a number of solutions, all
with the goal of providing liquidity for preferred shareholders while preserving
the potential benefits of leverage for common shareholders. We appreciate the
patience you have shown as we work through the many issues involved.
On behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund's Board, 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 Nuveen Fund Board

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NQN, NVN, NUN, NNF, NKO, NRK
Portfolio manager Cathryn Steeves discusses key investment strategies and the
six-month performance of the Nuveen New York Funds. Cathryn, who joined Nuveen
in 1996, assumed portfolio management responsibility for these six Funds in
2006.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE NEW YORK FUNDS DURING THE SIX-MONTH
REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2009?
During this period, pressure in the financial and credit markets led to
increased price volatility for most securities, reduced liquidity and a general
flight to quality. In this environment, we continued to focus on value investing
and the Funds' liquidity and duration positions.(1)
In the exceptionally illiquid market of the past six months, we believed that it
was prudent to concentrate not only on managing and preserving liquidity but
also on incorporating extra liquidity whenever we found appropriate
opportunities to do so. We monitored the types of credits and bond structures
that were attractive to the retail market and took advantage of strong bids to
sell bonds into relatively consistent retail demand. The bonds we sold tended to
be higher quality credits with short or intermediate maturities. A small number
of bond calls also provided some extra liquidity.
In general, our investment activity during this period was limited, as we waited
for more clarity in the market. In addition, insured bonds were in shorter
supply in the primary market during this period, as insurance penetration of new
issuance continued to decline. Insured bonds comprised 18% of new supply in
2008, compared with 47% in 2007.
As a key dimension of risk management, a disciplined approach to duration
positioning remained an important component of our management strategies. As
part of this approach, we continued to use inverse floating rate securities2 in
all six 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. During this period, NRK invested in additional
types of derivatives3 intended to help extend duration and manage common share
net asset value (NAV) volatility without having a negative impact on the Fund's
income stream or common share dividends over the short term. As of March 31,
2009, the inverse floaters remained in place in all six of the New York Funds,
while we removed the derivative positions from NRK in view of current market
conditions.
----------
(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, also known as inverse floaters, 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 report.
(3) Each Fund may invest in derivative instruments such as forwards, futures,
options, and swap transactions. For additional information on the derivative
instruments in which the Fund was invested during and at the end of the
reporting period, see the Portfolio of Investments, Financial Statements and
Notes to Financial Statements sections of this report.
Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements. Discussions of
specific investments are for illustration only and are not intended as
recommendations of individual investments. The forward-looking statements and
other views expressed herein are those of the portfolio manager as of the date
of this report. Actual future results or occurrences may differ significantly
from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements and the views expressed
herein are subject to change at any time, due to numerous market and other
factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to update publicly or revise any

S&P NY Municipal
Bond Index(6) 4.08% 1.21% 3.19% 4.59%
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the cumulative returns on common share
NAV for all six of these New York Funds exceeded the average return for the
Lipper Single State Insured Municipal Debt Funds Average. All six of the New
York Funds also outperformed the Standard & Poor's (S&P) New York Municipal Bond
Index for the same period. NNF and NKO outperformed the Barclays Capital New
York Insured Municipal Bond Index for this period, while NVN and NRK performed
in line with the index, and NQN and NUN underperformed this measure.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included duration and yield curve positioning, the use of derivatives, credit
exposure, and sector allocations. In addition, the use of leverage was an
important factor affecting the Funds' performance over this period. The impact
of leverage is discussed in more detail on page 9.
Over the course of this reporting period, the yield curve remained steep. Bonds
in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with maturities between four and
seventeen years, especially those maturing in approximately fifteen years,
benefited the most from this interest rate environment. Because they were less
sensitive to interest rate changes, these bonds generally outperformed credits
with longer maturities, as bonds with the longest maturities (22 years and
longer) posted a loss for the period. In general, these six Funds had good
exposure to the intermediate part of the yield curve, which performed well and
lower exposures to the underperforming longest part of the

using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: 1-year, 44 funds; 5-year, 44 funds; and 10-year, 24 funds. Fund and
Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.

insured New York municipal bonds. Results for the Barclays Capital index do not

5
curve. As a result, duration and yield curve positioning were positive
contributors to the Funds' performance across the board.
As mentioned earlier, NRK used derivative positions during this period to
synthetically extend duration and move the Fund closer to our strategic duration
target. Despite the fact that longer duration municipal bonds generally
underperformed those with shorter durations during this period, the use of these
derivatives generally had a positive impact on NRK's total return performance.
This positive impact was attributable to the fact that the derivative positions
provided exposure to the taxable markets during a period when, in contrast to
historical trends, the taxable markets and the municipal market moved in
opposite directions. As municipal market performance lagged the gains in the
taxable markets, these derivatives performed well. The inverse floaters used by
all six of these Funds also generally had a positive impact on performance.
Credit exposure was also an important factor in performance. Because risk-averse
investors generally sought higher quality investments as disruptions in the
financial markets deepened, bonds with higher credit quality, typically
performed very well. At the same time, securities rated BBB or below and
non-rated bonds generally posted poor returns. Overall, the performances of
these six Funds benefited from their higher quality holdings. However, insured
holdings where the insurers backing the bonds had been downgraded were typically
trading to their underlying (or issuer) credit ratings by the end of the period.
This meant that the performance of an insured bond with an underlying rating of
BBB generally was more adversely affected during this period than the
performance of an insured bond with an underlying credit rated AA.
NKO and NRK, which are Dividend Advantage Funds, also have the ability to invest
up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities. As
of March 31, 2009, NKO and NRK had allocations of approximately 4% and 3%,
respectively, in bonds rated BBB. The negative impact of these allocations was
largely offset by the shorter durations of these two Funds.
During this period, pre-refunded(7) bonds, which are backed by U.S. Treasury
securities, were one of the top performing segments of the municipal bond
market, due primarily to their shorter effective maturities, higher credit
quality and perceived safety. As of March 31, 2009, NRK had the heaviest
weighting of pre-refunded bonds among these six Funds. Additional sectors of the
market that generally contributed to the Funds' returns included general
obligation and other tax-backed bonds, water and sewer, housing and education.
Holdings that generally detracted from the Funds' performance included
Industrial Development Bonds (IDB), which performed very poorly during this
period. Health care bonds in general also underperformed the overall municipal
market. Alongside current coupon bonds in these sectors, IDB sector, zero coupon
bonds were among the worst performing categories in the municipal market, as
were lower-rated tobacco bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement
agreement, which comprised less than 2% of the portfolios of NKO and NRK as of
March 31, 2009. These Funds' under-

weighting of the tobacco sector was beneficial in that it lessened the negative
impact of their tobacco holdings.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
In addition to the factors previously discussed, one of the primary factors
impacting the six-month returns of these six New York Funds relative to those of
the unleveraged Barclays Capital New York Insured Municipal Bond Index and S&P
New York Municipal Bond Index was the Funds' use of financial leverage. 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,
declining valuations had a negative effect on performance that was magnified by
the use of leverage. In addition, at various points during the six-month period,
the Funds' borrowing costs were relatively high, negatively impacting their
total returns.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
As mentioned previously, another factor that had an impact on the performance of
these Funds was their positions in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that
experienced downgrades in their credit ratings. During the period covered by
this report, AGC, AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, FSA, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA (formerly XLCA)
experienced one or more rating reductions by at least one or more rating
agencies. At the time this report was prepared, there are no longer any bond
insurers rated triple-A by all three of the major rating agencies (Moody's
Investor Service, S&P and Fitch) and at least one rating agency has placed each
of these insurers on "negative credit watch," "credit watch evolving," "credit
outlook developing" or "rating withdrawn," 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. By the end of this period, most insured
bonds were being valued according to their fundamentals as if they were
uninsured. 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
As noted in the last shareholder report, beginning in February 2008, more shares
were submitted for sale 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, of the Funds'
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
7
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.
These developments generally have not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of these Funds. However, one continuing implication for
common shareholders of these auction failures 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 might have been.
As noted in the last shareholder report, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees
authorized a plan to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate
securities, to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding auction rate
preferred shares. As of March 31, 2009, the amount of auction rate preferred
securities redeemed and/or noticed for redemption by the Funds are as shown in
the accompanying table:
Auction Rate
Preferred Shares
Redeemed % of Original
and/or Noticed Auction Rate
Fund for Redemption Preferred Shares
NQN $ 32,500,000 22.6%
NVN $ 29,100,000 15.1%
NUN $ 36,225,000 18.4%
NNF $ 14,650,000 22.5%
NKO $ 61,000,000 100.0%
As noted in the last shareholder report, all of NKO's redemptions were achieved
through the issuance of variable rate demand preferred shares (VRDP) in
conjunction with the proceeds from the creation of TOBs. VRDP is a new
instrument designed to replace the auction rate preferred shares used as
leverage in Nuveen closed-end Funds. VRDP is offered only to qualified
institutional buyers, defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933. As of March 31, 2009, NKO has $50 million of VRDP.
While the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees and management continue to work to
resolve this situation, the Funds cannot provide any assurance on when the
remaining outstanding auction rate preferred shares might be redeemed.
As of March 31, 2009, sixty-seven Nuveen closed-end municipal funds have
redeemed and/or noticed for redemption at par a portion of their outstanding
auction rate preferred shares. These redemptions bring the total amount of
Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds' auction rate preferred share redemptions to
approximately $2.1 billion of the original $11 billion outstanding.

Common Share Dividend and Share Price INFORMATION
During the six-month reporting period ended March 31, 2009, NQN and NUN had a
dividend increase, while the dividends of the other four Nuveen New York Funds
in this report remained stable throughout the reporting period.
As the result of normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following
Funds received long-term capital gains distributions at the end of December 2008
as follows:
Long-Term Capital Gains
(per share)
NKO $ 0.0245
NRK $ 0.0082
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 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 March 31, 2009, all of the
Funds in this report had a positive UNII balance, based upon our best estimate,
for tax purposes and all of the Funds in this report except NRK had a positive
UNII balance for financial statement purposes. As of March 31, 2009, NRK had a
negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
The Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved an open-market share repurchase
program on July 10, 2007, for NQN, NVN and NUN and on July 30, 2008, for NNF,
NKO and NRK under which each Fund may repurchase an aggregate of up to 10% of
its
9
outstanding common shares. As of March 31, 2009, the Funds repurchased
common shares as shown in the accompanying table:
Common Shares % of Outstanding
Fund Repurchased Common Shares
NQN 83,900 0.5%
NVN 112,400 0.5%
NUN 150,400 0.6%
NNF 73,000 0.9%
NKO 27,000 0.3%
NRK 6,800 0.2%
During the six-month reporting period, common shares were repurchased at a
weighted average price and a weighted average discount per common share as shown
in the accompanying table:
Weighted Average Weighted Average
Price Per Share Discount Per Share
Fund Repurchased Repurchased
NQN $ 11.16 18.61%

Primarily all of the Fund's net assets (including net assets attributable
to Auction Rate Preferred shares) are invested in municipal securities
that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the
earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments may reflect the ratings on certain bonds
insured by AGC, AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, FSA, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA as of March
31, 2009. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Commentary for an expanded
discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of certain
bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of the
underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has 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.
(6) Auction Rate Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
Total Investments is 29.2%.
N/A Not applicable.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing
transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities for
more information.

Primarily all of the Fund's net assets (including net assets attributable
to Auction Rate Preferred shares) are invested in municipal securities
that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the
earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments may reflect the ratings on certain bonds
insured by AGC, AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, FSA, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA as of March
31, 2009. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Commentary for an expanded
discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of certain
bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of the
underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has 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.
(6) Auction Rate Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
Total Investments is 32.2%.
N/A Not applicable.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing
transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140. See Notes to

Primarily all of the Fund's net assets (including net assets attributable
to Auction Rate Preferred shares) are invested in municipal securities
that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the
earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments may reflect the ratings on certain bonds
insured by AGC, AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, FSA, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA as of March
31, 2009. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Commentary for an expanded
discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of certain
bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of the
underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.
(5) Investment has a maturity of more than one year, but has 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.
(6) Auction Rate Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
Total Investments is 28.0%.
N/A Not applicable.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing
transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities for
more information.

At least 80% of the Fund's net assets (including net assets attributable
to Auction Rate Preferred shares) are invested in municipal securities
that guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Insurance, for more information.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are based on net
assets applicable to Common shares unless otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the
earliest optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions
at varying prices at later dates. Certain mortgage-backed securities may
be subject to periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group ("Standard & Poor's")
or Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by
Standard & Poor's or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments may reflect the ratings on certain bonds
insured by AGC, AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, FSA, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA as of March
31, 2009. Please see the Portfolio Manager's Commentary for an expanded
discussion of the affect on the Fund of changes to the ratings of certain
bonds in the portfolio resulting from changes to the ratings of the
underlying insurers both during the period and after period end.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities which ensure the timely payment of principal
and interest. Such investments are normally considered to be equivalent to
AAA rated securities.
(5) Auction Rate Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
Total Investments is 34.7%.
N/A Not applicable.
WI/DD Purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected as a financing
transaction pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 140. See Notes to
Financial Statements, Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities for
more information.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen New York Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Inc.
(NQN), Nuveen New York Select Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NVN), Nuveen New
York Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NUN), Nuveen Insured New York Premium
Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NNF), Nuveen Insured New York Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund (NKO) and Nuveen Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage Municipal
Fund (NRK) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of New York Investment
Quality (NQN), New York Select Quality (NVN), New York Quality Income (NUN) and
Insured New York Premium Income (NNF) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange
while Common shares of Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) and Insured New
York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) are traded on the NYSE Amex (formerly American
Stock Exchange). The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
New York state income taxes, and in the case of Insured New York Tax-Free
Advantage (NRK) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within the state of New York or
certain U.S. territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
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. 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. When market price quotes are not
readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the
pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular
investment or derivative instrument, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the
Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market
data including yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of
issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from
security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general
market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's
credit characteristics considered relevant. 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 March 31, 2009, Insured
New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) had outstanding when issued/delayed delivery
purchase commitments of $1,001,960. 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
64
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore,
no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to
satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which
is exempt from regular federal and New York state income taxes, and in the case
of Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) the alternative minimum tax
applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to
shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income
distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the
Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. 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). Furthermore,
management of the Funds is 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 US
generally accepted accounting principles.
Auction Rate Preferred Shares
The following Funds have issued and outstanding Auction Rate Preferred shares,
$25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each
Fund's Auction Rate 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 March 31, 2009, the number of
Auction Rate Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund
is as follows:

================================================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Auction Rate Preferred shares issued by the Funds
than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear,"
and that many Auction Rate Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their
shares in these auctions were unable to do so. 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.
These developments have generally not affected the portfolio 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. As of March 31, 2009,
the aggregate amount of outstanding Auction Rate Preferred shares redeemed by
each Fund is as follows:

Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares
On August 7, 2008, Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) issued 500 Series 1
Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares, $100,000 liquidation value per share, in
a privately negotiated offering. Proceeds of this offering along with the
proceeds from the Fund's creation of tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as
"floaters" or floating rate obligations, were used to redeem all of the Fund's
outstanding Auction Rate Preferred shares totaling $61,000,000. The Variable
Rate Demand Preferred shares were offered to institutional buyers as defined
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, have a maturity date of
August 1, 2038 and include a liquidity feature that allows the Variable Rate
Demand Preferred shareholders to have their shares purchased by the liquidity
provider in the event that sell orders are not matched with purchase orders in a
remarketing. Dividends on the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares (which are
treated as interest payments for financial reporting purposes) are set weekly at
a rate established by a remarketing agent; therefore, the liquidation value of
the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares approximates fair value.
Subject to certain conditions, Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of the Fund. The Fund
may also redeem certain of the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares if the Fund
fails to maintain certain asset coverage requirements and such failures are not
cured by the applicable cure date. The redemption price per share is equal to
the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid
dividends.
Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) had all of its $50,000,000 Variable
Rate Demand Preferred shares outstanding for the six months ended March 31,
2009, with an annualized interest rate of 1.64%.
For financial reporting purposes only, the liquidation value of Variable Rate
Demand Preferred shares is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities and the dividends paid on the Variable Rate Demand Preferred
shares are included as a component of "Interest expense and amortization of
offering costs" on the Statement of Operations. In addition to interest expense,
the Fund also paid a per annum liquidity fee which is recognized as "Liquidity
fees" on the Statement of Operations.
Insurance
Except to the extent that each of New York Investment Quality (NQN), New York
Select Quality (NVN), New York Quality Income (NUN) and Insured New York Premium
Income (NNF) invests in temporary investments, all of the net assets of each
Fund will be invested in municipal securities that are covered by insurance
guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest or backed by an escrow
or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
securities to ensure timely payment of principal and interest. Insurers must
have a claims paying ability rated "Aaa" by Moody's or "AAA" by Standard &
Poor's for Insured New York Premium Income (NNF) and "A" or better by at least
one independent rating agency for New York Investment Quality (NQN), New York
Select Quality (NVN) and New York Quality Income (NUN). Municipal securities
backed by an escrow account or trust account will not constitute more than 20%
of each Fund's net assets.
Under normal circumstances, Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) and
Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) will invest at least 80% of their net
assets (including net assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares or
Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered
by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and interest. For
purposes of this 80% test, insurers must have a claims paying ability rated at
least "A" at the time of purchase by at least one independent rating agency. In
addition, each of Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) and Insured New York
Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including
net assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares or Variable Rate Demand
Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are rated at least "AA" at the
time of purchase (based on the higher of the rating of the insurer, if any, or
the underlying security) by at least one independent rating agency, or are
unrated but judged to be of similar credit quality by Nuveen Asset Management
(the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc.
("Nuveen"), or municipal bonds backed by an escrow or trust account containing
sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities or U.S.
Treasury-issued State and Local Government Series securities to ensure timely
payment of principal and interest. Each of Insured New York Dividend Advantage
(NKO) and Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) may also invest up to 20% of
its net assets (including net assets attributable to Auction Rate Preferred
shares or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares) in municipal securities rated
below "AA" but at least "BBB" (based on the higher rating of the insurer, if
any, or the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable
quality by the Adviser.
66
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.
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 "(IF) - 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
"(UB) - 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 and
amortization of offering costs" on the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended March 31, 2009, each Fund invested in
externally-deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") 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 issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as
"Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.
At March 31, 2009, the Funds were not invested in externally-deposited Recourse
Trusts.

==================================================================================================================================
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. None of the Funds
invested in forward interest rate swap transactions during the six months ended
March 31, 2009.
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 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. Insured New York Tax-Free Advantage (NRK) was the only Fund to
invest in futures contracts during the six months ended March 31, 2009.
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.
Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments
and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to
changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the
transaction to perform (credit
68
risk). Similar to credit risk, each Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk,
or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has
unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss could exceed the
value of the financial assets recorded on the financial statements. Financial
assets, which potentially expose each Fund to credit risk, consist principally
of cash due from counterparties on forward, option and swap transactions. The
extent of each Fund's exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to
these financial assets approximates their carrying value as recorded on the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Each Fund helps manage credit risk by entering into agreements only the Adviser
believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by having
the Adviser monitor the financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally,
counterparties may be required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily
valuation of the financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value
approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined
threshold. Reciprocally, when each Fund has an unrealized loss, 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 valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least
the predetermined threshold amount.
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.
Offering Costs
Costs incurred by Insured New York Dividend Advantage (NKO) in connection with
its offering of the Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares ($675,000) were
recorded as a deferred charge which will be amortized over the 30-year life of
the shares and are recognized as a component of "Interest expense and
amortization of offering costs" on the Statement of Operations.
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 US 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. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157) "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosure about fair value measurements. In determining the value of each
Fund's investments various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the
three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

5. 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 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, if any. 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.

6. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
73
| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Auction Rate
Preferred shares or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares) of each Fund as
follows:
NEW YORK INVESTMENT QUALITY (NQN)
NEW YORK SELECT QUALITY (NVN)
NEW YORK QUALITY INCOME (NUN)

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 following table.
As of March 31, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was .2000%.
74
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 managed assets of all Nuveen
funds, with such daily managed assets defined separately for each fund in
its management agreement, but which generally includes assets attributable
to preferred stock issued by or borrowings (including the issuance of
commercial paper or notes) by such fund, but excludes assets attributable
to investments in other Nuveen 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 Insured New York Dividend Advantage's (NKO)
operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Auction Rate
Preferred shares or Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares), for fees and
expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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 March 31, 2009,
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.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-4 (FSP No. 157-4)
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FSP No. 157-4,
"Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly." FSP No. 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value
in accordance with SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP
No. 157-4 also requires additional disaggregation of the current SFAS No. 157
required disclosures. FSP No. 157-4 is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied
prospectively. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FSP
No. 157-4 and the impact it will have on the financial statement disclosures.

* 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 and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
*** Rounds to less than $.01 per share.
**** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
Preferred shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets
attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares or Variable Rate Demand
Preferred shares, where applicable.
(a) Interest expense arises from payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred
shareholders and the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain inverse
floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund, where applicable, as
both are more fully described in Footnote 1 - Variable Rate Demand
Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.

* 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 and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
*** Rounds to less than $.01 per share.
**** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Auction Rate
Preferred shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets
attributable to Auction Rate Preferred shares or Variable Rate Demand
Preferred shares, where applicable.
(a) Interest expense arises from payments to Variable Rate Demand Preferred
shareholders and the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain inverse
floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund, where applicable, as
both are more fully described in Footnote 1 - Variable Rate Demand
Preferred Shares and Inverse Floating Rate Securities, respectively.
(b) For the six months ended March 31, 2009.

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.
84
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 NOTES TERMS USED in this REPORT
o 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.
o 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 common share NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital
gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
o 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.
o 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.
o LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to
changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's
or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as
interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the
leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of
the Fund's portfolio of bonds.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common 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 common shares outstanding. Fund
NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
o 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.
o 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.
