Nuveen National Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds (NPP, NMA, NMO, NAD)

Portfolio Managers'
              COMMENTS

Portfolio managers Steve Peterson, Rick Huber, and Bill Fitzgerald review the
economic environment, key investment strategies, and the performance of the
Nuveen Closed-End Municipal Funds. Steve and Rick have managed NPP and NMA,
respectively, since 1998, with Steve adding portfolio management duties for NAD
at its inception in May 1999. Bill has managed NMO since its inception in 1990.

WHAT MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET OVER THE
PAST 12 MONTHS?
The major news affecting the fixed-income markets over the past fiscal year has
been the Federal Reserve's tightening policy. In an effort to keep inflation in
check, the Fed continued to raise interest rates through May 2000, eventually
bringing the federal funds target rate to 6.50%, the highest level in almost a
decade. The Fed's policy has been to try to slow economic growth without causing
a recession.

Some recent evidence has suggested that the Fed effort may be having an impact.
While the U.S. economic expansion has reached a record tenth year, several
indicators point to slowing growth. As a result, the Fed now seems to have put
additional rate increases on hold, with some anticipating that the current
tightening cycle may have reached its end.

Although the Fed rate hikes and hints of an economic slowdown have affected the
municipal bond market, several supply and demand factors helped to prevent a
major increase in rates or drop in value. New issue supply of municipal bonds
during the first 10 months of 2000 totaled $154 billion nationwide, down 17.5%
from 1999 levels. At this rate, the supply of municipal bonds could finish 2000
at its lowest level since 1995. The generally favorable economic conditions in
many cities and states have enabled many issuers to use pay-as-you-go funding
for necessary projects, holding the supply of new bonds in check. At the same
time, demand from individual investors looking for diversification and income
has remained strong. As a result, current municipal bond prices and yields are
comparable to those of a year ago.

HOW DID THESE NUVEEN FUNDS PERFORM OVER THE PAST YEAR?
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, the Nuveen National Municipal
Closed-End Funds produced total returns on net asset value (NAV) as shown in the
accompanying table. The annual returns for the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index(1) and the Funds' Lipper Peer Group(2) are also presented.

Past performance is not predictive of future results.

For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your
Fund in this report.

Early in the year, as the Fed's series of interest rate hikes pushed yields
higher, municipal bond prices underwent a corresponding drop. Over the summer
and fall, however, the tight supply of new municipal issues and generally
favorable technicals helped to prompt a shift in market outlook, rallying the
municipal market and boosting the prices of many bonds. In this recent
environment, we would expect funds with longer durations4 to perform well. As of
October 31, 2000, NPP, NMA and NMO had durations ranging from 13.00 to 13.76,
while the 17-month-old NAD had a duration of 17.31. By comparison, the duration
of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index was 7.40.

The Funds' participation in the recovery of the municipal market is reflected in
the total returns on NAV listed above. They show dramatic improvement over the
results shown in the Funds' semiannual report last


1 The Funds' performances are compared with that of the Lehman Brothers
  Municipal Bond Index, an unleveraged index comprising a broad range of
  investment-grade municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect
  any expenses.

2 The total returns of the Funds are compared with the average annualized return
  of the 53 funds in the Lipper General Leveraged Municipal Debt Funds category.
  Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.

3 The taxable-equivalent yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
  taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Nuveen Fund on an
  after-tax basis. The taxable-equivalent yield is based on the Fund's market
  yield on the indicated date and a federal income tax rate of 31%.

4 Duration is a measure of a Fund's NAV volatility in reaction to interest rate
  movements. Fund duration, also known as leverage-adjusted duration, takes into
  account the leveraging process for a fund and therefore is generally longer
  than the duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the
  Fund. Unless otherwise noted, references to duration in this commentary are
  intended to indicate Fund duration.

spring. As of October 31, 2000, long-term municipal yields were more than 99% of
30-year Treasury yields, compared with the historical average of 86% for the
period 1986-1999.

WERE THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AFFECTED BY THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT?
All four of these Funds use leverage as a way to potentially enhance the
dividends paid to common shareholders. The extent of this benefit, however, is
tied in part to the short-term rates that the Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R)
shareholders. When short-term rates rise, the Funds must pay out more income to
preferred shareholders, decreasing the amount of income available for common
shareholders. As the Federal Reserve raised short-term rates six times between
June 1999 and May 2000, these increases had a corresponding impact on short-term
municipal rates. Higher rates, combined with bond calls in several of the Funds,
led to decreases in the common share dividends of each of these Funds over the
past year. Despite these dividend adjustments, all of the Funds continued to
provide competitive market yields, as shown in the accompanying table.

Recently, investor demand for municipal bonds with shorter maturities has caused
the slope of the municipal yield curve to become very steep. The increased
demand for short-maturity bonds could have beneficial effects on the dividend
stability of these leveraged Funds going forward by holding short-term rates
down and reducing the amount the Funds pay their MuniPreferred shareholders.

WHAT ABOUT THE FUNDS' SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE?
During late 1999 and the first half of 2000, uncertainties about inflation and
interest rates, coupled with investors' focus on equity market performance,
tended to dampen interest in most fixed-income products. The lack of demand put
pressure on the prices of many municipal bond investments, including these
Nuveen Funds. In recent months, as the bond market began to show signs of
recovery and the stock market continued to be volatile, we believe many
investors began to again consider tax-free fixed-income alternatives.

However, investor interest in this opportunity continued to lag the rise in
value of the bonds held by the Funds. Consequently, NPP, NMA and NMO saw their
discounts (share price below NAV) widen over the past 12 months, while NAD moved
from trading at a premium (share price above NAV) to a discount. With the market
prices of these Funds lower than the actual value of the bonds in their
portfolios, shareholders may want to consider taking advantage of this
opportunity to add to their holdings of their Nuveen Funds.

WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
OCTOBER 31, 2000?
Despite a slow start, the past fiscal year turned out to be generally positive
for the fixed-income markets, including municipal bonds. During this period, we
focused on strengthening the Funds' long-term dividend-paying capabilities,
enhancing call protection, and finding value in specific areas of the market,
including healthcare, utilities, and tobacco and industrial development bonds.

For example, while the healthcare industry continued to face challenging times,
we believed that selective opportunities remained within this sector as
hospitals became more efficient in managing revenue streams and improving cost
structure and operating incomes. We took advantage of this investment
opportunity to make several purchases of healthcare bonds with the potential to
add value for our shareholders. In NMO, we bought bonds issued by the Minnesota
Agricultural and Economic Development Board for Fairview Health Services. Since
our purchase in May, this credit has performed well for the Fund.

All four Funds also had utilities among their top five sector weightings. Over
the past 12 months, NPP and NAD added to holdings in this sector by purchasing
high-yield credits issued by co-generation projects, in which an independent
power producer burns natural gas to produce electricity. With the price of
electricity rising due to the current supply/demand imbalance, we believe that
power producers have become increasingly economically viable and creditworthy,
and these bonds have been performing well for the Funds.

<PAGE>


Tobacco bonds, which are secured by payments under the $250 billion master
settlement agreement reached between four major tobacco companies and 46 states
in 1998, were another area of the market that we believed offered value. During
the past year, NMO purchased bonds issued on behalf of Nassau County (New York)
by the Tobacco Settlement Corporation that provided both attractive yields and
good performance. As of October 31, 2000, these bonds accounted for 2% of the
Fund's assets.

In other management activity over the past fiscal year, we took advantage of
bond calls in NMA to continue restructuring the Fund by purchasing what we
believe to be attractively priced replacement bonds that provided good levels of
income, quality, diversification, and price appreciation potential. Instead of
simply replacing the called bonds with new long-term bonds, we chose to ladder
the portfolio across the yield curve to spread out future call exposure. While
NMA's duration lengthened as we worked through the calls, laddering helped us to
control the Fund's interest rate risk.

All four Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with between 65% and
83% of their assets invested in bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA as of
October 31, 2000. The Funds also had allocations of BBB/non-rated bonds that
ranged from 7% to 18%, which generally provided higher yields. NAD, which can
invest up to 20% of its assets in non-investment-grade bonds, currently has
about 3% of its portfolio allocated to this category. Over the past 12 months,
NPP, NMA, and NMO saw their allocations of U.S. guaranteed bonds drop
substantially. Virtually all of these bonds were pre-refunded and were either
called as expected or sold just prior to their call dates. We used this
opportunity to enhance the Funds' diversification by reinvesting the proceeds
throughout the yield curve and across market sectors. We expect to see this
activity continue through 2001.

WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THESE NUVEEN NATIONAL FUNDS?
In general, our outlook for the fixed-income markets over the next 12 months is
positive. Current projections call for continued strong demand for municipal
bonds, while new municipal issuance nationwide in 2001 is expected to stay under
$200 billion. These supply-and-demand dynamics should continue to provide
support for the municipal market and municipal bond prices.

Looking specifically at these Nuveen National Funds, all four Funds offer
excellent levels of call protection over the next two years. NAD has about 1% of
its portfolio scheduled for calls between now and the end of 2002, while calls
could affect 8-11% of the NPP, NMA and NMO portfolios in 2001 and 2002. The
interest rate environment over the next two years will play a major role in
whether these bonds are actually called. While we cannot control the direction
of interest rates, we continue to work to improve the Funds' call protection and
to actively manage the Funds in an effort to mitigate the longer-term effects of
the bond call process.

In addition to bond calls, we plan to continue to focus on strengthening the
Funds' dividend-payment capabilities, taking advantage of the wider credit
spreads currently available in the marketplace. The high credit quality of these
Funds gives us room to increase our allocations of lower-rated issues with the
potential to enhance current portfolio yields and future capital appreciation.
As value-oriented investors, we will also continue to look for areas of the
market that offer opportunities to add value for our shareholders, particularly
healthcare, industrial development bonds, and transportation. In NAD, we plan to
continue our efforts to shorten the Fund's duration and reduce its interest rate
risk. We believe these Nuveen Funds will continue to serve as a dependable
source of tax-free income and portfolio diversification, two essential elements
of a comprehensive investment strategy.

NUVEEN MUNICIPAL MARKET OPPORTUNITY FUND, INC.
NUVEEN DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets, including the
portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc.,
Nuveen Municipal Advantage Fund, Inc., Nuveen Municipal Market Opportunity Fund,
Inc. and Nuveen Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund as of October 31, 2000, and
the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial
highlights for 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of investments
owned as of October 31, 2000, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. 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 Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Municipal Advantage Fund,
Inc., Nuveen Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc. and Nuveen Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund at October 31, 2000, and the results of their
operations, changes in their net assets and financial highlights for the periods
indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles standards generally
accepted in the United States.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The National Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their  corresponding
New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc.
(NPP),  Nuveen  Municipal  Advantage Fund, Inc. (NMA),  Nuveen  Municipal Market
Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NMO) and Nuveen Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAD).

Each Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations
issued by state and local government authorities. The Funds are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as closed-end, diversified management
investment companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Securities Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's  investment  portfolio are provided
by a pricing service  approved by the Fund's Board of  Directors/Trustees.  When
price quotes are not readily  available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities),  the pricing service  establishes fair market value based on yields
or prices of  municipal  bonds of  comparable  quality,  type of issue,  coupon,
maturity and rating,  indications of value from  securities  dealers and general
market conditions.  Temporary  investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand  features  qualifying  them as  short-term  securities  are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to
market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to
the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At
October 31, 2000, Performance Plus (NPP), Opportunity (NMO) and Dividend
Advantage (NAD) had outstanding when-issued and delayed delivery purchase
commitments of $8,629,747, $34,222,390 and $2,235,911, respectively. There were
no such outstanding purchase commitments in Advantage (NMA).

Investment Income
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on long-term debt securities
when required for federal income tax purposes.

Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its tax-exempt net
investment income, in addition to any significant amounts of net realized
capital gains and/or market discount realized from investment transactions. The
Funds currently consider significant net realized capital gains and/or market
discount as amounts in excess of $.01 per Common share. Furthermore, each Fund
intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such
tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly
tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000,
have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gain and
market discount distributions are subject to federal taxation.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Tax-exempt net investment income is declared monthly as a dividend and payment
is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts on the first
business day after month-end. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount
from investment transactions are distributed to shareholders not less frequently
than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent
they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to 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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, temporary
over-distributions as a result of these differences may occur and will be
classified as either distributions in excess of net investment income,
distributions in excess of net realized gains and/or distributions in excess of
net ordinary taxable income from investment transactions, where applicable.

instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to
invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not
make any such investments during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000.

Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit
with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments.

Organization and Offering Costs
Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with their organization and offering
of Common and Preferred shares were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from
the sale of the shares.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 from operations during the reporting period. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.

Build Your Wealth
                  AUTOMATICALLY



Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET
UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.

NUVEEN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends
and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.

It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

HOW SHARES ARE  PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset
value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends
and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally
be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on
dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of
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.

FLEXIBILITY
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in
or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial adviser or call us at (800)
257-8787.
