Dear shareholder
"Shareholders continue to enjoy very attractive current yields generated by
portfolios of quality bonds." Photographic image of headshot of Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Nuveen. It is my pleasure to report to you on the
performance of Nuveen's exchange-traded funds. Over the past year, shareholders
in these funds were rewarded with attractive tax-free income. A hallmark of
Nuveen's fixed-income investments, this dependable tax-free income makes these
funds an excellent choice for those seeking a stable addition to their core
investment portfolio. To safeguard our shareholders' interests, Nuveen continues
to work to find ways to protect this level of income through changing market
conditions.
  The funds' sound performance came during a year of volatility in the
municipal bond market, including a mid-year decline and a post-election rally.
However, by continuing to seek out undervalued bonds in sectors and regions we
believe are fundamentally strong, we were able to generate very attractive
current yields for shareholders while also preserving capital.
  As of April 30, 1997, shareholders in the funds covered in this report were
receiving annual tax-free yields on net asset value that ranged from 6.25% to
6.56%. To match these attractive yields, investors in the 36% federal income tax
bracket would have had to earn at least 9.77% on taxable alternatives.
<PAGE>
  During the same period, three of the funds outperformed the benchmark Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, which posted a 6.66% return. Over the past year,
the funds generated total returns, including reinvested dividends and capital
gains (if any) and changes in net asset value, of 6.59% to 7.45%, equivalent to
taxable total returns of 10.34% to 11.15% for investors in the 36% tax bracket.
The level of these returns gains added significance when viewed in the context
of bond market results for the past year, which reflect the rather flat
performance of 1996 and the concern over Federal Reserve deliberations in early
1997.
  Nuveen has recently made significant and exciting additions to the investment
options we offer --that make it easier to keep more of what you earn. We
introduced three new equity and balanced funds for investors seeking both
long-term growth and current income. Further, Nuveen's municipal bond fund
selection is now one of the largest in the industry, since our merger with
Flagship Resources, Inc., a highly regarded sponsor of fixed-income mutual
funds. As a Nuveen shareholder, this merger offers you even greater access to
the municipal market.
  For more complete information regarding Nuveen investment products, including
charges and expenses, call Nuveen at (800) 257-8787, or contact your financial
adviser for a prospectus. Please read the information carefully before you
invest.
     On behalf of everyone at Nuveen, I thank you for your continued confidence
in us and our family of investments. You can continue to depend on us for
high-quality investment products that withstand the test of time. We look
forward to serving you in the future.

Sincerely,



Timothy R. Schwertfeger
Chairman of the Board

Answering your questions
Tom Spalding, head of Nuveen's portfolio management team, reviews recent events
in the municipal market and offers insights into the strategies Nuveen uses to
manage your funds

How would you summarize the bond market over the past 12 months?

Throughout the past year, mixed economic reports produced conflicting interest
rate and inflation forecasts, which caused investors to view the markets with
alternating enthusiasm and uncertainty. In late 1996, evidence of an economic
slowdown, the strong U.S. dollar, and lack of inflationary pressures combined to
allay investor fears, sparking a rally in bonds that continued through the
post-election period. The early months of 1997 saw a re-emergence of talk about
inflation, and the markets continue to keep a close eye on the Federal Reserve
to see how seriously it regards such talk.
  Over much of the past 12 months, euphoria in the equity market focused
investors' attention on stocks and brought record amounts of new money into
equity-based mutual funds, bypassing the bond market. Some investors, concerned
about a potential stock market correction, decided to take their profits, but
adopted a wait-and-see attitude about investing capital gains, electing to go
with short-term vehicles until a clearer picture of market trends emerged. These
events affected demand for bond issues of all types during the past year. Only
recently have we begun to see some evidence that investors are evaluating the
effect of the huge run-up in stock prices and are rebalancing their portfolios
by gradually shifting some assets from stocks into bonds.
  The actions of the Federal Reserve also continue to play a role in bond market
performance. Although the Fed altered interest rates only once in 1996, at the 
very beginning of the year, anticipation of further moves kept the markets 
restless. With one rate increase approved already in March of this year, the 
concern about potential changes in monetary policy--and the effect of such 
changes on the markets--continues in 1997.

What strategies did you use to add value during this market?

The fluctuations of 1996 created specific inefficiencies in the market, enabling
Nuveen to uncover and take advantage of price discrepancies to improve fund
portfolios. For example, we were able to enhance the durability of the funds'
dividends by purchasing bonds with longer call protection. These bonds were
priced similarly to those with shorter calls as interest rates began to rise in
1996, creating a value investing opportunity. As rates moved down during the
year, the bonds with longer call protection then appreciated in value more than
those with shorter calls.

What role does research play in helping you achieve the funds' objectives?

As an integral part of our portfolio management strategy, Nuveen Research
provides portfolio managers with objective appraisals of the creditworthiness of
new municipal issues, while maintaining surveillance of the credit performance
for all portfolio holdings. To track individual holdings, each Nuveen Research
analyst is responsible for a specific surveillance portfolio, which is defined
in terms of geography and sector (e.g., healthcare, housing). Specialization by
sector enables our Research teams to focus their credit quality evaluation
efforts and complement the vantage point of each portfolio manager.

What is the current economic outlook?

The economy in the second quarter has grown at a slower pace than during the
first quarter, however, the growth still may be at a level that exceeds the
Federal Reserve's long-term targets. Interest rates on 30-year Treasuries have
moved in a range of between 6.65% to 7.20% over the past several months, and
expectations are that this range of rates may continue through the third
quarter.
  Of course, that's a short-term outlook. By following a disciplined value
strategy and depending on fundamental research, the long-term outlook for our
municipal bond funds--and for Nuveen shareholders--is very good. We will
continue to look for opportunities in sectors like healthcare and public power
and in regions like the Midwest and the Sun Belt. And will continue to identify
bonds that are structured in ways that make them attractive through a complete
interest rate cycle.

Commonly used terms

Yield
An exchange-traded fund's annualized monthly dividend on a given date (in
the case of this report, April 30, 1997) divided by its closing price per share
on that date.

Taxable equivalent yield
The return an investor subject to a given income tax rate would need to
obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the fund's stated annual ized
yield on share price. In this report, the tax rate is assumed to be 36% for
shareholders, based on 1997 incomes of $124,650-$271,050 for investors filing
singly, $151,750-$271,050 for those filing jointly.

Net Asset Value (NAV)
The market value of all securities and other assets held by an exchange-traded
fund, minus any liabilities. The NAV per share is the fund's net assets, less
the value of its preferred shares, divided by the total number of common shares
outstanding.

Total return on NAV
The percentage change in a fund's NAV per common share for a given period,
assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any.

Taxable equivalent total return
The total return an investor subject to a given income tax rate would need to
obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the Fund's stated total return
on NAV.

Leverage
A technique used to enhance the income produced for common shareholders by a
long-term municipal bond fund through the issuance of short-term preferred
shares. The proceeds from the sale of the preferred shares can be used to
purchase additional long-term bonds, thus increasing the portfolio's income
stream. Changes in net asset value per share, both up and down, are also
magnified by leverage.



Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in
the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares
were repurchased during the six-month period ended April 30, 1997. Any future
repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual
report.

                          1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT
                          ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                          At April 30, 1997, the National Funds (the "Funds")
                          covered in this report and their corresponding New
                          York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured Quality
                          Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQI), Nuveen Insured Municipal
                          Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NIO), Nuveen Premier Insured
                          Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NIF) and Nuveen Insured
                          Premium Income Municipal Fund 2 (NPX).

                          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.

                          On September 9, 1996, NPX acquired all of the net
                          assets of Nuveen Insured Premium Income Municipal
                          Fund, Inc. (NPE) pursuant to a plan of reorganization
                          approved by the shareholders of both Funds on July 25,
                          1996. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free
                          exchange of 16,596,974 shares of NPX for the
                          14,712,490 shares of NPE outstanding on September 9,
                          1996. NPE's net assets at that date of $319,754,404
                          included $8,606,160 of net unrealized appreciation and
                          $110,000,000 of preferred shares at liquidation value
                          which were combined with that of NPX. The combined net
                          assets of NPX immediately after the acquisition were
                          $739,531,152.

                          The following is a summary of significant accounting
                          policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of
                          their financial statements in accordance with
                          generally accepted accounting principles.
<PAGE>
Securities Valuation      The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's
                          investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service
                          approved and supervised 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 demand features qualifying them as short-term
                          securities traded and valued at amortized cost.

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 be settled
                          a month or more after the transaction date. 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 their purchase commitments. At April
                          30, 1997, NPX had purchase commitments of $22,077,733.
                          There were no such purchase commitments in any of the
                          other funds.

Interest 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 
                          to 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. Net
                          realized capital gain and market discount 
                          distributions are subject to federal taxation.
<PAGE>
Dividends and             Tax-exempt net investment income is declared as a 
Distributions to          dividend monthly and payment is made or reinvestment
Shareholders              is credited to shareholder accounts 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 
                          carryovers.

                          Distributions to shareholders of tax-exempt net
                          investment income, net realized capital gains and/or
                          market discount 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 generally accepted accounting
                          principles. 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.

Preferred Shares          The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000
                          stated value Preferred shares. Each Fund's Preferred
                          shares are issued in more than one Series. The
                          dividend rate on each Series may change every seven
                          days, as set by the Auction Agent, except for NQI
                          Series F which has lengthened its current dividend
                          period from seven days to five years. The number of
                          Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total,
                          is as follows:

Insurance                 The Funds invest in municipal securities which are 
                          either covered by insurance or are backed by an
                          escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S.
                          Government or U.S Government agency securities, both
                          of which ensure the timely payment of principal and
                          interest. 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' shares.
                          Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market 
                          Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal
                          securities covered thereby remain outstanding and
                          the insurer remains in business, regardless of 
                          whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such
                          municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
                          of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue
                          Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect 
                          value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio 
                          Insurance 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
                          net asset value of the Funds' shares 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.

Derivative Financial      The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial 
Instruments               instruments including futures, forward, swap, and 
                          option contracts, and other financial 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 six months ended 
                          April 30, 1997.

Use of Estimates          The preparation of financial statements
                          in conformity with 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 from operations during the
                          reporting period.

                          to the Adviser an annual management fee, payable
                          monthly, at the rates set forth below, which are based
                          upon the average daily net asset value of each Fund:

                          The fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment
                          advisory and administrative services and general
                          office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation
                          directly to those Directors/Trustees who are
                          affiliated with the Adviser or to their officers, all

                          All of the long-term and intermediate-term investments
                          owned by the Funds are either covered by insurance
                          issued by several private insurers or are backed by an
                          escrow or trust containing U.S. Government or U.S.
                          Government agency securities, both of which ensure the
                          timely payment of principal and interest in the event
                          of default. Such insurance or escrow, however, does
                          not guarantee the market value of the municipal
                          securities or the value of any of the Funds' shares.

                          All of the temporary investments in short-term
                          municipal securities have credit enhancements (letters
                          of credit, guarantees or insurance) issued by third
                          party domestic or foreign banks or other institutions.

                          For additional information regarding each investment
                          security, refer to the Portfolio of Investments of
                          each Fund.
