"Over the past year, the Select Portfolios have continued to meet their primary
goal of providing stable income." 

It's a pleasure to have this opportunity to report to you on the annual 
performance of the Nuveen Select Tax-Free Portfolios. These portfolios, with 
their unique product structure, have a life cycle that is designed--and 
managed--for exceptional income stability. Over the past year, the Select 
Portfolios have continued to meet their primary goal of providing that stable 
level of income, even during different market cycles. This stability is 
demonstrated by the fact that the Select Portfolios maintained extended periods
without significant dividend changes, ranging from nine months to 48 months 
without a change, as shown on pages 8-10 of this report.

  As of March 31, 1997, shareholders in the Select Portfolios were receiving
annual tax-free yields on net asset value that ranged from 5.79% to 6.29%. To
match these attractive yields, investors in the 31% federal income tax bracket
would have had to earn at least 8.39% on taxable alternatives of comparable
quality. When state taxes for the California and New York portfolios are taken
into account, the tax-free advantage is even greater.

  As the Select Portfolios met their goal of income stability, they also
maintained credit quality while moderating the effects of market volatility. The
net asset value per share of the average Select Portfolio has closely followed
the movement of the Lehman Municipal Bond Index over the past year. During this


<PAGE>


period, the portfolios generated total returns, including reinvested dividends
and capital gains (if any) and changes in net asset value, of 5.79% to 6.85%,
equivalent to taxable total returns of 9.61% to 10.23% for investors in the 31%
federal income tax bracket. This level of performance gains added significance
when viewed in the context of the 1996 bond market, which underwent a mid-year
decline followed by a post-election rally to end the year slightly lower than
where it began.

  Over the past year, Nuveen has made meaningful expansions to the range of
investment options that we offer to our shareholders, as we continue to help
investors keep more of what they earn. As part of this effort, we have added a
new equity fund, which is designed to offer prudent investors superior market
performance with less risk than the overall stock market, as well as two
balanced mutual funds, each designed to give investors the combination of
performance potential and a measure of downside protection that comes from a
carefully assembled balance of stocks and bonds.

  In addition, we have increased the range of investment solutions available to
our investors by acquiring Flagship Resources Inc., a highly regarded provider 
of fixed-income mutual funds. The resulting selection of municipal bond funds 
is the broadest available.

  For more complete information regarding Nuveen investment products, including
charges and expenses, call Nuveen at 1-800-257-8787 or contact your investment
adviser for a prospectus. Please read the information carefully before 
you invest.

  In all our efforts, our focus continues to be on understanding the goals of
Nuveen investors and providing the investments you need to achieve wealth
preservation, dependable income, and long-term asset growth. We thank you for
your continued confidence in Nuveen and our family of investments, and we look
forward to continuing to serve your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

/s/ Anthony T. Dean

Chairman of the Board

Answering your questions

Ron Toupin, manager of Nuveen's Select Portfolios, reviews the municipal bond
market and offers insights into the strategies Nuveen uses to manage the
portfolios 

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

Over the past year, a steady stream of mixed economic reports resulted in
conflicting interest rate and inflation forecasts, which caused investors to
view the markets with alternating enthusiasm and uncertainty. In the third
quarter of 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. In early 1997,
talk of inflation re-emerged, and the markets have kept a close eye on the
Federal Reserve to see how seriously it regards such talk.

  Throughout much of the year, 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


<PAGE>


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 12 months.

  Even with relative stability, interest rates have continued to play a role in
bond market performance. The Federal Reserve altered interest rates only once in
1996, at the very beginning of the year, but anticipation of further moves has
kept the markets restless. With one rate increase approved already 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? 

Our portfolio management strategy focuses on the principles of conservative 
value investing, sound research and credit surveillance activities, and senior 
management involvement. Investment decisions are based on a stringent set of 
criteria, as described in each portfolio's prospectus. The Select Portfolios 
were designed to be a source of steady tax-free income with a known maturity 
schedule. They provide income and maturity similar to individual bonds, while 
offering the benefits of active management and ongoing credit surveillance.


<PAGE>


Termination is expected in 2017, at which time proceeds of maturing or sold 
bonds will be returned to investors. Accordingly, stability of tax-free income
is the foremost portfolio objective. We make changes only when we can improve 
credit quality or earnings, or to reinvest proceeds of called bonds. 

What role does research play in helping you manage the portfolio? 

As an integral part of our portfolio management strategy, the Nuveen
Research department 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.

Commonly used terms

Yield

An exchange-traded portfolio's annualized monthly dividend on a given date
divided by its closing price per share on that date.

Taxable equivalent yield

The return an investor subject to a given state and federal income tax rate
would need to obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the portfolio's
stated annualized yield on share price. In this report, these tax rates are
assumed to be 36% for NXP, NXQ and NXR, 42% for NXC, and 40.5% for NXN, 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 a portfolio, minus
any liabilities. The NAV per share is the portfolio's net assets divided by the
total number of shares outstanding.

Total return on NAV

The percentage change in a portfolio's NAV per share, assuming reinvestment of 
all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any.

Taxable equivalent total return 

The total return an investor subject to a given state and federal income tax 
rate would need to obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the 
portfolio's stated total return on NAV.

        Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio 2 
        Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio 3 
        Nuveen Insured California Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio
        Nuveen Insured New York Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio

        We have audited the accompanying statements of net
        assets, including the portfolios of investments, of
        Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio, Nuveen Select
        Tax-Free Income Portfolio 2, Nuveen Select Tax-Free
        Income Portfolio 3, Nuveen Insured California Select
        Tax-Free Income Portfolio, and Nuveen Insured New York
        Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio as of March 31, 1997,
        and the related statements of operations, changes in
        net assets and the financial highlights for the
        periods indicated therein. These financial statements
        and financial highlights are the responsibility of the
        Trusts' 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 generally
        accepted auditing standards. 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 March 31, 1997, by correspondence with the
        custodian. 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 position of Nuveen
        Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio, Nuveen Select
        Tax-Free Income Portfolio 2, Nuveen Select Tax-Free
        Income Portfolio 3, Nuveen Insured California Select
        Tax-Free Income Portfolio, and Nuveen Insured New York
        Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio at March 31, 1997,
        and the results of their operations, changes in their
        net assets and financial highlights for the periods
        indicated therein in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles.

                          1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT
                          ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                          At March 31, 1997, the Trusts covered in this report
                          and their corresponding New York Stock Exchange
                          symbols are Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio
                          (NXP), Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio 2 
                          (NXQ), Nuveen Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio 3
                          (NXR), Nuveen Insured California Select Tax-Free
                          Income Portfolio (NXC) and Nuveen Insured New York
                          Select Tax-Free Income Portfolio (NXN).

                          The Trusts are registered under the Investment Company
                          Act of 1940 as closed-end, diversified management
                          investment companies.

                          Each Trust's portfolio of investments consists of
                          municipal obligations that 1) have an average maturity
                          of approximately 19-20 years; 2) are rated within the
                          four highest investment grades by Standard & Poor's or
                          Moody's; and 3) on average, may not be redeemed at the
                          option of the issuer thereof for approximately seven
                          to eight years from the date of purchase by the
                          Trusts. The Trusts' investment adviser, Nuveen
                          Institutional Advisory Corp. ( the "Adviser"), a
                          wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company,
                          administers the investments and maintains ongoing
                          surveillance of such investments to insure that they
                          continue to meet the Trusts' investment objectives and
                          credit quality standards. The Adviser does not intend
                          to adjust the portfolios except 1) to invest interest
                          payments on municipal obligations that are not
                          currently needed to pay dividends or expenses; 2) to
                          reinvest principal payments on municipal obligations
                          resulting from their maturity or early redemption; 3)
                          to sell municipal obligations when the Adviser
                          believes that continuing to hold them would be
                          inconsistent with maintaining the Trusts' high credit
                          quality, and to reinvest the proceeds of such sales;
                          and 4) for certain other purposes.

                          The Trusts intend to liquidate all of their assets in
                          approximately 19-20 years but not later than the year
                          2017, unless extended, making a single liquidating
                          distribution to shareholders at that time. Any
                          extension of these dates may be made only by an
                          amendment to each Trust's declaration of Trust
                          approved by the Board of Trustees and by the
                          shareholders.

                          The following is a summary of significant accounting
                          policies followed by the Trusts 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
                          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 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 Trusts 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 March
                          31, 1997, there were no such purchase commitments in
                          any of the Trusts.

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.

Income Taxes              The Trusts intend to comply with the requirements of 
                          the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
                          investment companies and to distribute to shareholders
                          all of their tax-exempt net investment income, in
                          addition to any significant amounts of net realized 
                          capital gains and/or market discount realized from
                          investment transactions. In light of the Adviser's 
                          intention not to adjust the Trusts' investments except
                          under limited conditions, it is expected that the 
                          Trusts will generally realize minimal, if any, 
                          amounts of both net realized capital gains and market
                          discount. The Trusts intend to retain such minimal 
                          amounts and, therefore, will record a provision for 
                          federal income taxes on the amounts retained. To the 
                          extent more significant amounts of net capital gains 
                          are realized, the Trusts may elect to distribute such
                          amounts to shareholders and no federal income tax 
                          provision on these amounts will then be required.

                          Furthermore, each Trust intends to satisfy conditions
                          which will enable interest from municipal securities,
                          which is exempt from regular federal income tax for 
                          all Trusts and exempt from California state income 
                          taxes for NXC and from New York state income taxes 
                          for NXN, to retain such tax-exempt status when 


<PAGE>


                          distributed to shareholders. All income dividends 
                          paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, 
                          have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends which 
                          are entirely exempt from federal income taxes.

Dividends and             Tax-exempt net investment income is declared as a 
Distribution 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.

Insurance                 NXC and NXN 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 Trusts' 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 Trusts 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 Trust.
                          Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining 
                          the market value of the underlying municipal 
                          securities nor the net asset value of the Trusts' 
                          shares include value, if any, attributable to the 
                          Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio
                          Insurance does, however, give the Trusts the right to
                          obtain permanent insurance with respect to the
                          municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance
                          policy at the time of its sale.

                          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

                          Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments
                          owned by the Trusts are 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, either of which ensure the timely
                          payment of principal and interest in the event of
                          default (45% for NXP, 38% for NXQ, 26% for NXR, 100%
                          for NXC and 100% for NXN). Such insurance or escrow,
                          however, does not guarantee the market value of the
                          municipal securities or the value of any of the
                          Trusts' 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
