Chairman's
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Photo of: Timothy R. Schwertfeger
Timothy R. Schwertfeger | Chairman of the Board
It is with a variety of emotions that I write my last letter to Nuveen Fund
shareholders. For a dozen years, it has been my privilege to communicate
periodically with you through these annual and semi-annual reports about the
performance and uses of your Fund. Over that time, I've tried to emphasize the
central role that quality municipal bonds can play in creating attractive
opportunities for current tax-free income, long-term return and portfolio
diversification. I firmly believe that all our Fund shareholders, working in
conjunction with a trusted financial advisor, have the potential to reach their
financial objectives by using Nuveen Funds as a core component of a
well-balanced portfolio.
As I noted in your Fund's last shareholder report, Nuveen Investments was
acquired in November 2007 by a group led by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC.
While this event had no impact on the investment objectives, portfolio
management strategies or dividend policies of your Fund, it did provide a
convenient point to begin implementing a long-planned transition in the senior
management team at Nuveen. As a part of this process, I will be leaving the
Board of the Nuveen Funds on June 30, 2008.
In addition, Nuveen and your Fund's Board determined that Fund shareholders
would be best served by having an independent director serve as the new chairman
of the Fund Board. Therefore, I am very excited and pleased to report that I
will be succeeded as chairman of your Nuveen Fund Board by Robert Bremner. A
member of the Board since 1997, Bob is a management consultant and private
investor not affiliated with Nuveen. Over the years, he has played a critical
role on the Fund Board, most recently as the lead independent director, and I
know Bob and the other Board members are determined to maintain the standards
and commitment to quality that you have come to expect from your Nuveen
investment.
Please take the time to review the Portfolio Manager's Comments, the Common
Share Dividend and Share Price Information, and the Performance Overview
sections of this report. All of us are grateful that you have chosen Nuveen
Investments as a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and, on behalf of
Bob Bremner and the other members of your Fund's Board, let me say we look
forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NQF, NUF, NFL, NWF
Portfolio manager Daniel Close reviews economic and municipal market conditions
at both the national and state levels, key investment strategies, and the annual
performance of these four Nuveen Florida Funds. Dan, who joined Nuveen in 2000,
assumed portfolio management responsibility for the Florida Funds in March 2007.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE TWELVE
MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 2008?
During this reporting period, developments in the financial sector, especially
in the credit markets, led to increased volatility, tightening liquidity, and a
flight to quality. These developments, which began to take shape during the
summer of 2007, became particularly evident in August 2007 when market concerns
about defaults on sub-prime mortgages resulted in a liquidity crisis across all
fixed income asset classes. In September 2007, the Federal Reserve (Fed)
responded to credit market volatility by launching a series of interest rate
cuts that lowered the fed funds rate by 325 basis points--from 5.25% to
2.00%--in eight months, including reductions of 125 basis points in January 2008
alone.
The Fed's actions were also a response to increased signs of weakness in the
U.S. economy, as evidenced by the slower growth of the U.S. gross domestic
product (GDP), a closely watched measure of economic performance. While GDP
expanded at 3.8% in the second quarter of 2007 and 4.9% in the third quarter of
2007, this measure dropped sharply to 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007 (all
GDP numbers annualized). In the first quarter of 2008, GDP grew at an annual
rate of 0.9%, restrained by a 25.5% decline in residential investment and the
weakest consumer spending since 2001. Driven largely by increased energy,
agricultural, and commodities prices, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered
a 3.9% year-over-year gain as of April 2008, while the increase in this
inflation gauge for the first four months of 2008 was 3.0% annualized. The core
CPI (which excludes food and energy prices) rose 2.3% between May 2007 and April
2008, remaining above the Fed's unofficial target of 2.0% or lower. In the labor
markets, January 2008 marked the first decline in new jobs created since 2003,
breaking the longest string of employment growth (52 months) in U.S. history.
The national unemployment rate for April 2008 was 5.0%, up from 4.5% in April
2007.
Discussions of specific investments are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed
in this commentary represent those of the portfolio manager as of the date of
this report and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions
and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of
such changes.

In the municipal bond market, factors related to the sub-prime mortgage crisis
had an indirect, but important, influence on performance. General concerns about
the credit markets as well as more specific concerns about municipal bond
insurers with exposure to sub-prime mortgages caused some investors to curtail
purchases. Because some investors were avoiding exposure to such insurers, hedge
funds and other non-traditional buyers of municipal bonds were forced to sell
holdings of long-maturity bonds into a market already experiencing lack of
liquidity. Combined with the Fed rate cuts, this selling produced a sharp
steepening of the municipal yield curve, as longer-term interest rates rose and
short-term interest rates declined. In this environment, bonds with shorter
maturities generally outperformed longer maturity bonds, and higher quality
bonds tended to outperform lower quality credits.
Over the twelve months ended April 2008, municipal bond issuance nationwide
totaled $453.9 billion, a decrease of 4% from the previous twelve months. During
the first four months of 2008, municipal issuance was off the record pace seen
in 2007, as $129.0 billion in new securities came to market, down 9% from the
same period in 2007. To date in 2008, insured bonds comprised 26% of new supply,
compared with the recent historical figure of approximately 50%. Despite
disruptions in the markets, new municipal issuance continued to be met with good
demand by institutional and retail investors as well as non-traditional buyers
returning to the market toward the end of this period.
HOW WERE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN FLORIDA?
Florida's economy, which led the southeast region in job growth and performance
over the past few years, hit a major stumbling block, as growth continued to
slow amid an increasingly severe housing market correction and fallout from the
sub-prime mortgage crisis. In Miami, which was still seeing home equity values
rise in early 2007, housing prices fell 25% between March 2007 and March 2008, a
decline second only to that in Las Vegas, according to the Case-Shiller home
price index of twenty major metropolitan areas. This compared with an average
decline of 14.4% nationwide. The downturn in real estate and housing also had a
substantial impact on Florida's economy through canceled and reduced residential
and commercial building projects and layoffs in the construction industry, which
had been a major economic driver in the state. Given construction job losses and
continued declines in the manufacturing sector, Florida's job market weakened,
with gains in education and health care, leisure and hospitality, and
professional and business services providing some bright spots. In April 2008,
unemployment in the state rose to 4.9% from 3.8% in April 2007, its highest
level since February 2004 but still below the national average.
Florida's revenue base, which has been dominated by sales taxes, also suffered
from the deterioration of the state's housing market, as consumer spending
slowed by lower
5
home values as well as rising food and gas prices. As of April 30, 2008,
Florida's general obligation debt continued to be rated Aa1/AAA/AA+ by Moody's,
Standard & Poor's, and Fitch, respectively. In March 2008, Moody's revised its
outlook for the state from stable to negative, citing the trend of declining
revenues. For the twelve months ended April 30, 2008, municipal issuance in
Florida totaled $27.8 billion, a decrease of 14% from the previous twelve
months, as the state continued to rank as the fourth largest state issuer in the
nation. During the first four months of 2008, issuance in the state was down
sharply to $5.8 billion, a drop of 37% from the first four months of 2007.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THIS REPORTING
PERIOD?
During this twelve-month period, as the municipal market was characterized by
volatility and a steepening yield curve, we sought to capitalize on a turbulent
environment by continuing to focus on relative value, using a fundamental
approach to find undervalued sectors and individual credits with the potential
to perform well over the long term.
In the earlier part of the period, our emphasis was generally on purchasing
bonds with longer maturities to manage the Funds' durations.(1) As the period
progressed, and it started to become apparent that Florida would be among the
states hardest-hit by the fallout from the sub-prime mortgage crisis and a
weakening housing market, we began to focus more closely on longer dated
essential services revenue bonds that were not as dependent on home and property
values. As August's liquidity crisis led the market to discount lower-quality
and higher-yielding bonds, we also took advantage of opportunities that we
considered undervalued to selectively add some of these types of bonds to NQF,
NUF and--to a lesser degree--NWF. Among the credits we added to these Funds were
uninsured health care bonds, water and sewer bonds and school districts. In NFL,
our purchases included insured health care, utilities, water and sewer, and
special assessment districts. All of the Florida Funds also added exposure to
the short end of the yield curve by purchasing positions in auction rate bonds.
Auction rate bonds are short-term securities whose interest payments are
adjusted periodically through an auction process which typically also serves as
a means for buying and selling.
To generate cash for purchases, we selectively sold some holdings with shorter
durations, including shorter-dated pre-refunded bonds(2). Selling shorter
duration bonds and reinvesting further out on the yield curve also helped to
improve the Funds' overall call protection profiles. We also took advantage of
strong bids to sell bonds that were attractive to the retail market.
(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) Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
6
As part of our disciplined approach to duration management, we use inverse
floating rate securities,(3) a type of derivative financial instrument, in NQF,
NUF and NFL. 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, we found it advantageous to
terminate some of the inverse floating rate securities in each of these three
Funds, especially securities with exposure to weaker municipal bond insurers,
and modify our positions using bonds that offered more attractive yields and
better structures. NQF and NUF each also added a new inverse floating rate
security funded with high-quality (AAA rated), non-insured water and sewer bonds
issued by Palm Beach County. In addition, NQF, NFL and NWF utilized other types
of derivative financial instruments. The goal of this strategy was to help us
manage the common share net asset value (NAV) volatility of these Funds without
having a negative impact on their income streams or common share dividends over
the short term.

(3) An inverse floating rate security is a financial instrument designed to pay
long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
securities in which the Funds invested during this reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of
Terms Used in This Report sections of this shareholder report.
(4) The Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: 1 year, 16; 5 years, 13; and 10 years, 9. Fund and Lipper returns
assume reinvestment of dividends.
(5) The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal
bonds, and the Lehman Brothers Insured Municipal Bond Index is an
unleveraged, unmanaged national index containing a broad range of insured
municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any

exceeded the average return for the Funds' Lipper Florida Municipal Debt Funds
Average, while NUF trailed the peer group average by a narrow margin.
One of the major factors impacting the performance of these Funds in relation to
that of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index and Insured
Municipal Bond Index was the use of financial leverage. While leverage provides
opportunities for additional income and total returns for common shareholders,
the benefits of leveraging are tied in part to the short-term rates that
leveraged Funds pay their preferred shareholders. During this period, as the
yields on longer-term bonds rose and their prices correspondingly fell,
declining valuations had a negative effect on performance that was magnified by
the use of leverage. In addition, the Funds' borrowing costs remained relatively
high, negatively impacting their total returns.
Other key factors that influenced the Funds' returns included yield curve and
duration positioning, the use of derivatives, credit exposure and sector
allocations and holdings of bonds backed by lower-rated municipal bond insurers.
During this twelve-month period, bonds in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index with maturities of less than eight years, especially those maturing in
approximately three to five years, benefited the most from changes in the
interest rate environment. a result, these bonds generally outperformed credits
with longer maturities. Bonds having the longest maturities (twenty-two years
and longer) posted the worst returns for the period. For the most part, the
duration positioning of the Florida Funds was a net positive for performance
during this period. Although these four Funds were underexposed to the
outperforming shorter maturity categories, this was generally offset by the
Funds' heavier allocations to the intermediate part of the yield curve, which
performed relatively well, and lower weightings in the underperforming long part
of the curve.
As mentioned earlier, NQF, NFL and NWF utilized derivative financial
instruments. In NFL and NWF, these derivatives were used to synthetically extend
the Funds' durations and move them closer to our strategic duration target.
Despite the fact that longer duration municipals generally performed relatively
poorly, the use of these forward interest rate swaps had a positive impact on
the return performance of these two Funds. This was due to the fact that these
derivatives provided exposure to taxable markets during a period when, in
contrast to historical trends, the taxable market and the municipal market moved
in the opposite directions. As municipal market performance lagged the gains
made by the taxable market, these derivatives performed very well. However, in
NQF, which had a duration that exceeded our target, derivative financial
instruments were used to synthetically shorten duration. This position, which
reduced duration in the outperforming taxable markets, hurt the performance of
NQF.
In addition, the inverse floaters used by NQF, NUF and NFL generally had a
negative impact on performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse
floaters effectively
8
increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds during a period when
shorter maturities were in favor in the market. However, the new inverse
floating rate security we added to NQF and NUF late in this period performed
well, due mainly to market conditions following their establishment and,
secondarily, to the high credit quality of the bonds used to establish these
trusts. All of the inverse floaters also benefited these Funds by helping to
support their income streams.
As credit spreads widened, bonds rated BBB or below posted poor returns. The
underperformance of the lower credit quality sector was largely the result of
risk-averse investors' flight to quality as disruptions in the financial and
housing markets deepened. As of April 30, 2008, NQF and NUF had allocated
approximately 12% and 11%, respectively, of their portfolios to bonds rated BBB
and non-rated credits. NWF, which can invest up to 20% of its assets in
uninsured investment-grade quality securities, had a 2% allocation to BBB rated
credits. Due to downgrades of certain municipal insurers, NFL, while remaining a
100% insured Fund, held approximately 9% in bonds rated BBB. While these
lower-rated exposures had a negative influence on the Funds' performances, the
relatively smaller weightings in these credit quality sectors helped to limit
the impact of this exposure. On the whole, NFL and NWF benefited from their
overall higher credit quality and larger allocations of AAA rated bonds.
In general, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector, tended to
perform poorly. Revenue bonds as a whole, and especially the industrial
development and health care sectors that had ranked among the top performers in
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index over the past few years, underperformed
the general municipal market. The housing sector also performed poorly, as did
bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement, which comprised
approximately 1% to 1.5% of the portfolios of NQF and NWF as of April 30, 2008.
NQF, NUF and NWF also held small positions in community district development
bonds that underperformed during this period.
Sectors of the market that generally contributed to the Funds' performances
included water and sewer, special tax issues, and education. Pre-refunded bonds
performed exceptionally well, due primarily to their shorter effective
maturities and higher credit quality. NQF and NWF held more advance refunded
bonds than NUF and NFL, which explains some of the performance differentials
between NQF and NUF and between NFL and NWF.
Another factor that impacted the performances of these Funds, especially NFL and
NWF, involved their positions in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that
had their credit ratings downgraded. As concern increased about the balance
sheets of these insurers, prices on bonds insured by these companies declined
detracting from the Funds' performance. On the whole, the holdings of these
Funds continued to be well diversified not only between insured and uninsured
bonds, but also within the insured bond category.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FUND POLICY CHANGES
The portfolios of investments reflect the ratings on certain bonds insured by
AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of April 30, 2008. During the period covered
by this report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
and MBIA-insured bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds to BB. Subsequent to April 30,
2008, and at the time this report was prepared, at least one rating agency
further reduced the rating for CIFG-insured bonds to BB and MBIA-insured bonds
to A. As of April 30, 2008, at least one rating agency has placed XLCA-insured
bonds on "negative credit watch" and one or more rating agencies have placed
each of these insurers on "negative outlook", which may presage one or more
rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more
insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce
the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer or insurers.
It is important to note that municipal bonds historically have had a very low
rate of default.
During March 2008, the Nuveen Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved
changes to the investment policies of all of the Nuveen insured municipal
closed-end funds. The new policies require that (1) at least 80% of a Fund's net
assets must be invested in insured municipal bonds guaranteed by insurers rated
"A" or better by at least one rating agency at the time of purchase; (2) at
least 80% of a Fund's net assets must be invested in municipal bonds rated "AA"
or better by at least one rating agency (with or without insurance), deemed to
be of comparable quality by the Adviser, or backed by an escrow or trust
containing sufficient U.S. Government or Government agency securities at the
time of purchase; and (3) up to 20% of a Fund's net assets may be invested in
uninsured municipal bonds rated "A" to "BBB" by at least one rating agency or
deemed to be of comparable quality by the Adviser at the time of purchase. These
policy changes are designed to increase portfolio manager flexibility and retain
the insured nature of the Funds' investment portfolios for current and future
environments. Some Funds may require shareholder approval prior to implementing
these policy changes.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the preferred shares issued by these Funds than there
were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear'' and that
many or all auction preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in
these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction
preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate'' applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with
the pre-established terms of the auction preferred shares. At the time this
report was prepared, the Funds' managers could not predict when future auctions
might succeed in attracting sufficient buyers for the shares offered, if ever.
The Funds' managers are working diligently to refund the auction preferred
shares, and have made progress in these efforts, but at present there is no
assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments generally do not
affect the management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one
implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is that the Funds'
cost of leverage will 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.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, all of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially
enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. While this
strategy continued to provide incremental income, the extent of this benefit was
reduced to a degree by the borrowing costs associated with leverage, which
remained relatively high. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the
proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were
reinvested into bonds currently available in the market, which generally offered
lower yields than the matured or called bonds. These factors resulted in one
monthly dividend reduction in NQF, NUF, NFL, and NWF over the twelve-month
reporting period ended April 30, 2008.
Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders
of the following Funds received long-term capital gains distributions at the end
of December 2007 as follows:
Long-Term Capital Gains
(per share)
NUF $0.0072
NFL $0.0640
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
11
cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in
reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's
common share NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's common share NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of
its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of April 30, 2008,
all of the Funds in this report had positive balances for tax purposes. NFL had
a positive UNII balance for financial statement purposes, while NQF, NUF and NWF
had negative UNII balances for financial statement purposes.
As of April 30, 2008, the Funds' common share prices were trading at discounts
to their common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:
4/30/08 Twelve Month Average
Discount Discount
NQF -10.70% -10.38%
NUF -11.76% -10.82%
NFL -10.04% -9.41%
NWF -11.02% -8.88%

COMMON SHARE REPURCHASE AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
On July 10, 2007, the Board of Trustees of NQF, NUF, and NFL approved an open
market share repurchase program as part of a broad, ongoing effort designed to
support the market prices of the Funds' common shares. Repurchases not only help
to support the market price, but because such purchases are made at a discount
to NAV, they have the effect of augmenting NAV. Under the terms of the program,
each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares. As of April
30, 2008, NQF, NUF, and NFL had repurchased 218,700, 147,700, and 174,500 common
shares, respectively, representing 1.3%, 1.0% and 1.2%, respectively, of each
Fund's total common shares outstanding.

NUVEEN FLORIDA INVESTMENT QUALITY MUNICIPAL FUND
NUVEEN FLORIDA QUALITY INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND
NUVEEN INSURED FLORIDA PREMIUM INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND
NUVEEN INSURED FLORIDA TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Florida Investment Quality Municipal
Fund, Nuveen Florida Quality Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen Insured Florida
Premium Income Municipal Fund and Nuveen Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage
Municipal Fund (the Funds) as of April 30, 2008, and the related statements of
operations and cash flows (Nuveen Florida Investment Quality Municipal Fund and
Nuveen Florida Quality Income Municipal Fund only) for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers
were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen Florida Investment Quality Municipal Fund, Nuveen Florida Quality Income
Municipal Fund, Nuveen Insured Florida Premium Income Municipal Fund and Nuveen
Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund at April 30, 2008, the results
of their operations and cash flows (Nuveen Florida Investment Quality Municipal
Fund and Nuveen Florida Quality Income Municipal Fund only) for the year then
ended, changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of
the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.

SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly Securities Industry and
Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index, previously referred to as the
Bond Market Association or BMA.
As of April 30, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio of
Investments are either covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance, or are
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, any of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): 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 (not covered by the report of independent registered
public accounting firm): 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 AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as
of April 30, 2008. 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) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (35.1)%.
(6) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.

SIFM - The daily arithmetic average of the weekly Securities Industry and
Financial Markets (SIFM) Municipal Swap Index, previously referred to as the
Bond Market Association or BMA.
As of April 30, 2008, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) are
invested in municipal securities that are either covered by
Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or
Portfolio Insurance which ensures the timely payment of
principal and interest. Up to 20% of the Fund's net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) may
be invested in municipal securities that are (i) either
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities (also
ensuring the timely payment of principal and interest), or
(ii) rated, at the time of investment, within the four
highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, Standard &
Poor's or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable
quality by the Adviser.
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions (not covered by the report of
independent registered public accounting firm): 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 (not covered by the report of independent registered
public accounting firm): 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 AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as
of April 30, 2008. 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) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (34.9)%.
(6) Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
forward swap contract.
N/R Not rated.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Florida funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share
stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Florida Investment Quality Municipal Fund
(NQF), Nuveen Florida Quality Income Municipal Fund (NUF), Nuveen Insured
Florida Premium Income Municipal Fund (NFL) and Nuveen Insured Florida Tax-Free
Advantage Municipal Fund (NWF) (collectively, the "Funds"). Common shares of
Florida Investment Quality (NQF), Florida Quality Income (NUF) and Insured
Florida Premium Income (NFL) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while
Common shares of Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage (NWF) are traded on the
American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income
tax, and in the case of Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage (NWF) 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 Florida or certain U.S. territories.
During February 2007, the Board of Trustees of the Funds approved a change in
the Funds' fiscal year end from June 30 to April 30.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When market price
quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on yields or
prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity
and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of
anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of
forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to
supply a price for a municipal bond or forward swap contract, each Fund may use
market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such investments. If it is
determined that the market price for an investment or derivative instrument is
unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its
designee, may establish fair value in accordance with procedures established in
good faith by the Board of Trustees. Temporary investments in securities that
have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At April 30, 2008, there were
no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
44
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, and in
the case of Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage (NWF) the alternative minimum tax
applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to
shareholders of the Funds. The investment policies of Insured Florida Tax-Free
Advantage (NWF) permit the Fund to invest in a limited amount of out-of-state
securities. Although the Fund may pursue this strategy from time to time, this
strategy will not impact the tax-exempt status of the Fund's shares or of its
distributions to its shareholders. Net realized capital gains and ordinary
income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
Effective October 31, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes"
(FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the
current year.
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the
last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one or more than one 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. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for
each Fund is as follows:

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear,'' and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate'' applicable to failed auctions as calculated
in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
These developments generally do not affect the management or investment policies
of the Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will 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.
Insurance
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Insured Florida Premium Income
(NFL) invested primarily in municipal securities which are either covered by
insurance or were backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient
U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the
timely payment of principal and interest.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage
(NWF) invested at least 80% of its net assets (including net assets attributable
to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that were covered by insurance. The
Fund may have also invested up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either (i)
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities, or (ii) rated, at the time of investment, within
the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, Standard & Poor's or
Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset
Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments,
Inc. ("Nuveen").
On March 20, 2008, the Funds' Board of Trustees authorized the adoption of
certain changes to each Fund's investment policies. Such changes mandate that
under normal circumstances, each Fund must invest at least 80% of its net assets
(including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities
which are either covered by insurance or backed by an escrow or trust account
containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both
of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. For purposes of
this 80% test, insurers must have a claims paying ability rated at least "A" at
the time of purchase. In addition, each Fund must invest at least 80% of its net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities that are rated at least "AA" at the time of purchase. Each Fund may
also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets attributable to
Preferred shares) in municipal securities rated below "AA" (based on the higher
rating of the insurer, if any, or the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged
to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
Effective March 20, 2008, the foregoing policy changes were implemented in
Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage (NWF).
The foregoing policy changes will be implemented in Insured Florida Premium
Income (NFL) pending shareholder approval.
Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds
ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance
46
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"). A Fund may also enter into shortfall and
forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit
recovery swap") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the
broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the
liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation
value of the floating rate certificates, as well as any shortfalls in interest
cash flows. The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to
cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at
par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust
to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an
externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater, recourse trust or credit recovery swap is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" in the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Florida Investment Quality (NQF),
Florida Quality Income (NUF) and Insured Florida Premium Income (NFL) invested
in externally deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Insured Florida Advantage (NWF) did not invest in any such instruments during
the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year
ended April 30, 2008, were as follows:

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Forward Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to
terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of
loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to
the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment
to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit
risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the
daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately
equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold.
Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract,
the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as
collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss
above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and
subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or
down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. Florida Investment Quality
(NQF), Insured Florida Premium Income (NFL) and Insured Florida Tax-Free
Advantage (NWF) invested in forward interest rate swap transactions during the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and 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.
48
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. FUND SHARES
On July 10, 2007, the Board of Trustees of Florida Investment Quality (NQF),
Florida Quality Income (NUF) and Insured Florida Premium Income (NFL) approved
an open-market share repurchase program, as part of a broad, ongoing effort
designed to support the market prices of the Funds' Common shares. Under the
terms of the program, each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding
Common shares.

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

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:
FLORIDA INVESTMENT QUALITY (NQF)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS FLORIDA QUALITY INCOME (NUF)
(INCLUDING NET ASSETS INSURED FLORIDA PREMIUM INCOME (NFL)

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 tables below. As
of April 30, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .1855%.
Effective August 20, 2007, the complex-level fee schedule is as follows:

$55 billion .2000%

Prior to August 20, 2007, the complex-level fee schedule was as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%

$250 billion .1509
$300 billion .1490
================================================================================

(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its 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 Trustees has
adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables
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.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For the first eight years of Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage's (NWF)
operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth
below:

* From the commencement of operations.
The Adviser has not agreed to reimburse Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage (NWF)
for any portion of its fees and expenses beyond November 30, 2010.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Windy City
Investments, Inc. ("Windy City"), a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("Madison Dearborn"), pursuant to which Windy
City would acquire Nuveen Investments. Madison Dearborn is a private equity
investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The merger was consummated on
November 13, 2007.
The consummation of the merger was deemed to be an "assignment" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management
agreement between each Fund and the Adviser, and resulted in the automatic
termination of each Fund's agreement. The Board of Trustees of each Fund
considered and approved a new investment management agreement with the Adviser
on the same terms as the previous agreements. Each new ongoing agreement, was
approved by the shareholders of each Fund and took effect on November 13, 2007.
The investors led by Madison Dearborn includes an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. As
a result, Merrill Lynch is an indirect "affiliated person" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of each Fund. Certain conflicts
of interest may arise as a result of such indirect affiliation. For example, the
Funds are generally prohibited from entering into principal transactions with
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates. The Adviser does not believe that any such
prohibitions or limitations as a result of Merrill Lynch's affiliation will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This
standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already
required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally
accepted accounting principles from the application of this standard relate to
the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of April 30, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required
about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of
the measurements included within the Statement of Operations for the period.
54
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of April 30, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be
required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

Auction Rate Preferred Shares (ARPS)
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen announced the Fund Board's approval of plans to use
tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as inverse floating rate securities or
inverse floaters, to refinance a portion of the funds' outstanding ARPS, whose
auctions have been failing for several months, including an initial phase of
approximately $1 billion in forty-one funds. Of this amount, Nuveen expects that
approximately $560 million in ARPS redemption notices will be issued shortly for
thirteen funds.
Recent Credit Market Events
Subsequent to April 30, 2008, and at the time this report was prepared, at least
one rating agency further reduced the rating for CIFG-insured bonds to BB and
MBIA-insured bonds to A.

* Distributions from Capital Gains to Preferred Shareholders rounds to less
than $.01 per share.
** Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
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 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.
**** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

* Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
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 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.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.
(b) For the ten months ended April 30, 2007.
(c) For the period November 21, 2002 (commencement of operations) through June
30, 2003.

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.
64
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT
[] AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
[] AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period.
It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal
the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or
market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any) over the time period being considered.
[] AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or
the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
[] INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
[] LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes
when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's
duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest
rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging
process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's
portfolio of bonds.
[] MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
[] NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are
calculated at the end of each business day.
[] TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
investment.
[] ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder
of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at
maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero
coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds
that pay interest periodically.

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

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

resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served

Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation

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

ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS
The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to
Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling,

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 tables also show 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

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.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. 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's
independence.

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.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees has a separately designated
Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). As of
April 30, 2008, the members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Jack
B. Evans, William J. Schneider and David J. Kundert.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash
management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or
through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer
whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are
expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of
acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the
municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or
facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit
problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer,
NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail
negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and
otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such
activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but
nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board of Trustees on its
control activities on a quarterly basis.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the
registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM
would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should
be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of
the registrant's Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of NAM's
legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that
records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed
with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board of
Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day
implementation of the registrant's investment strategies:
NAME FUND
Daniel J. Close Nuveen Insured Florida Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio
manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of
the following accounts:
TYPE OF ACCOUNT NUMBER OF
PORTFOLIO MANAGER MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel J. Close Registered Investment Company 26 $ 5.081 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0
Other Accounts 3 $.17 million
|
* Assets are as of April 30, 2008. None of the assets in these accounts
are subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic
elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The
compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation to the market
in order to create a compensation structure that is competitive and consistent
with similar financial services companies. As discussed below, several factors
are considered in determining each portfolio manager's total compensation. In
any year these factors may include, among others, the effectiveness of the
investment strategies recommended by the portfolio manager's investment team,
the investment performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and
the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM).
Although investment performance is a factor in determining the portfolio
manager's compensation, it is not necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio
manager's performance is evaluated in part by comparing manager's performance
against a specified investment benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a
customized subset (limited to bonds in each Fund's specific state and with
certain maturity parameters) of the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an
index comprised of bonds held by managed municipal bond fund customers of
Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing, Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund
holdings aggregate at least $2 million. As of May 31, 2008, the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 52,259 securities with
an aggregate current market value of $1,047 billion.
Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level
determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed
above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a
portfolio manager's base salary.
Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations made
by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his
peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of
factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to
the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves
as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts,
his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and
their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and
to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also
impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its
business objectives.
Long-term incentive compensation. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen
Investments, Inc., by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners in
November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit
interests in Nuveen's parent. These profit interests entitle the holders to
participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen beyond the issue date and
vest over five to seven years, or earlier in the case of a liquidity event.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous management
of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or
apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of
securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the other account. NAM,
however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that
the NAM has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of
interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are
designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for
portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation
of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a
non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account
performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager, although the
allocation procedures may provide allocation preferences to funds with special
characteristics (such as favoring state funds versus national funds for
allocations of in-state bonds). In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct
that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of the April 30, 2008, the portfolio
manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities
issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal
investment team.
