Wealth takes a lifetime to build. Once achieved, it should be preserved.
Dear Shareholder
It's a pleasure to report to you on the performance of the Nuveen Select
Tax-Free Portfolios, a uniquely structured group of portfolios designed and
managed to achieve income stability over a defined term. Over the past 12
months, the portfolios have performed well, continuing to reward investors by
providing dependable tax-free income.
In meeting their objective of income stability, the Select Portfolios continued
to provide shareholders with attractive yields generated by portfolios of
quality bonds. As of September 30, 1997, shareholders were receiving current
market yields that ranged from 5.29% to 5.83%. To match these yields, investors
in the 31% federal income tax bracket would have had to earn at least 7.67% on
taxable alternatives. When investors in the California and New York portfolios
take state taxes into account, the tax-free advantage is even greater. For the
year ended September 30, 1997, the value of the portfolios rose between 8.58%
and 9.68%, providing taxable equivalent returns in the range of 11.67% to
12.44%. Each portfolio's individual performance is detailed on pages 7-11.
This performance was achieved in an environment of continued economic strength
and the lowest unemployment rates in more than two decades, a combination that
in the past has been accompanied by an increase in inflation. Current
conditions, however, indicate that inflation is under control, with the Consumer
Price Index currently running at one of its lowest levels in 30 years. Following
this spring's move to tighten short-term interest rates, the Federal Reserve
demonstrated its confidence in the economy's path by maintaining the status quo
in subsequent months.
<PAGE>
So far in 1997, investors and the markets have focused their attention on fiscal
issues such as the federal budget accord, the reduction in the federal deficit,
and tax relief measures, including a capital gains tax cut. Although the markets
have experienced volatility, especially in recent weeks, interest rates have
generally fallen over the past two quarters, providing a good environment for
bond market performance.
A renewed emphasis on diversification and asset allocation -- as well as
attractive tax-free yields -- have sparked increased interest in municipal
bonds. The current level and volatility of the stock market remind investors to
reallocate profits to other segments of the market in order to limit risk.
Nuveen Select Portfolios offer an excellent alternative, and their unique
structure, life cycle, and ability to provide income stability make them very
attractive.
<PAGE>
As part of our commitment to helping prudent investors achieve their investment
goals, Nuveen now also offers a variety of other products and services in
addition to our range of municipal mutual funds. We recently celebrated the
successful first year of the Nuveen Growth and Income Stock Fund as well as two
new balanced stock and bond funds. We also expanded our private asset management
capabilities through the recent acquisition of Rittenhouse Financial Services, a
well-respected growth investment manager. We encourage you to discuss with your
financial adviser how your portfolio might take advantage of these new Nuveen
products and services.
We at Nuveen remain committed to providing you with quality investment solutions
that withstand the test of time. We thank you for your confidence in us and our
family of investments, and we look forward to reporting to you again in six
months.
Sincerely,
Anthony T. Dean

ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS
RON TOUPIN, MANAGER OF NUVEEN'S SELECT PORTFOLIOS, TALKS ABOUT THE MUNICIPAL
BOND MARKET AND OFFERS INSIGHTS INTO FACTORS THAT AFFECTED THE PERFORMANCE OF
THE PORTFOLIOS OVER THE PAST YEAR.
WHAT ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS INFLUENCED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PORTFOLIOS
OVER THE PAST YEAR?
Over the past 12 months, minimal inflation and a reduction in the federal
deficit brought lower interest rates and an increase in bond prices. The yield
on the 30-year Treasury bond dropped from 6.91% to 6.37%, and the municipal
market followed suit, as the yield on the Bond Buyer 40 declined from 5.88% to
5.46% between October 1996 and September 1997. The lower interest rate
environment also led to a number of advance refundings by bond issuers.
HOW HAVE THE PORTFOLIOS PERFORMED DURING THIS PERIOD?
As Tony mentioned in his letter to shareholders, total returns on net asset
value for the Select Portfolios ranged from 8.58% to 9.68% for the 12 months
ended September 30, 1997. This compares well with the average one-year return of
8.47% for the closest peer comparison, the Lipper National Unleveraged
Closed-End Funds category. However, the unique structure of the Select
Portfolios -- with an essentially fixed portfolio and a defined term -- makes it
difficult to compare with peer groups that are comprised of more actively
managed funds.
The most important thing to note about the performance of the Select Portfolios
is that they are achieving exactly what they were designed to do: provide steady
current income. As their net asset values have appreciated, the market has once
again begun to realize the value offered by these investments. As a result, we
have seen discounts on the portfolios narrow significantly.
<PAGE>
GIVEN THE CURRENT MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET, WHAT WAS YOUR APPROACH TO PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT DURING THIS YEAR?
The Select Portfolios are designed as a source of dependable tax-free income
with a set maturity schedule. They provide income and maturity that is similar
to individual bonds, while offering the benefits of diversification and ongoing
surveillance. Over the past year, we continued to monitor portfolio holdings
closely to ensure that they remain fully invested and to anticipate and avoid
credit problems. Because of the limited amount of trading in the funds, the fees
for the Select Portfolios are lower than those for comparable funds with more
actively managed portfolios.
WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
Overall, we expect supply to increase moderately as the economy continues to
grow. A continued decline in yields could also cause new supply to come into
the market through refunding of current debt. If volatility in the equity
market continues at current levels, we expect demand for bonds to remain
strong as shareholders move some of the assets from stocks into bonds.
<PAGE>
WHAT ARE YOUR KEY STRATEGIES FOR THE COMING YEAR?
Since stability of income is the foremost portfolio objective, we make
changes only when we can improve income or credit quality, or when we reinvest
the proceeds of called bonds. Beginning in 2001, a large portion of the bonds in
the portfolios could be called by their issuers. Our current strategy calls for
restructuring the portfolio to pre-empt some of the bond calls, if interest
rates remain lower than they were when the portfolios were originally assembled
in 1992. Our approach will be very systematic as we look for opportunities to
enhance yields.
ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL SITUATIONS THAT HAVE PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES TO ENHANCE
THE PORTFOLIOS?
One situation involved bonds issued for the Denver airport. We purchased these
bonds when we felt that they were undervalued by the market, based on Nuveen
research that indicated a potential increase in value. Many of these bonds have
already been pre-refunded, improving the credit quality of the portfolios and
increasing their value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
SECURITIES VALUATION
The prices of municipal bonds in each investment portfolio are provided by a
pricing service approved by the Trust'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 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 their when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At
September 30, 1997, there were no such purchase commitments in any of the
Trusts.
<PAGE>
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
Each Trust is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Trust
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. 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
distributed to shareholders of the Trusts.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Tax-exempt net investment income is declared as a dividend monthly 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, if any, 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.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Trusts are not authorized to invest in transactions in certain derivative
financial instruments including futures, forward, swap, option contracts, and
other financial instruments with similar characteristics, and therefore made no
such purchases during the six months ended September 30, 1997.
<PAGE>
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.
2. FUND SHARES
There were no share transactions during the six months ended September 30, 1997,
nor during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, in any of the Trusts.
3. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
On October 1, 1997, the Trusts declared Common share dividend distributions from
their tax-exempt net investment income which were paid November 3, 1997, to
shareholders of record on October 15, 1997, as follows:

At September 30, 1997, the identified cost of investments owned for federal
income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes
for each Trust.
At March 31, 1997, the Trusts' last fiscal year end, the Trusts had unused
capital loss carryovers available for federal income tax purposes to be applied
against future capital gains, if any. If not applied, the carryovers will expire
as follows:

6. SURVEILLANCE AND ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the Trusts' investment management agreements with the Adviser, each Trust
pays an annual surveillance and administration fee, payable monthly, at the
rates set forth below, which are based upon the average daily net asset value of
each Trust:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSET VALUE NXP NXQ, NXR, NXC, NXN
<S> <C> <C>
For the first $125 million .2500 of 1% .3000 of 1%
For the next $125 million .2375 of 1 .2875 of 1
For the next $250 million .2250 of 1 .2750 of 1
For the next $500 million .2125 of 1 .2625 of 1
For the next $1 billion .2000 of 1 .2500 of 1
For net assets over $2 billion .1875 of 1 .2375 of 1
</TABLE>
The fee compensates the Adviser for performing ongoing administration,
surveillance and portfolio adjustment services. The Trusts pay no compensation
directly to those Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to their
officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Trusts from
the Adviser.
7. COMPOSITION OF NET ASSETS
At September 30, 1997, each Trust had an unlimited number of $.01 par value
shares of beneficial interest authorized. Net assets consisted of:

</TABLE>
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 (50% for NXP, 45% for NXQ, 36% for NXR, 100% for NXC, and 100% for
NXN). Such insurance or escrow, however, does not guarantee the market value of
