MUNICIPAL ADVANTAGE FUND INC.
September 1, 1998
Dear Shareholder:
The Municipal Advantage Fund delivered a strong performance in the fiscal
third quarter ended July 31, 1998. The Fund's total return of 3.1% on net asset
value (NAV) exceeded both the 2.2% return for the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index (Lehman Index) and the average total return of 2.6% for the leveraged
closed-end general municipal bond funds monitored by Lipper Analytical Services,
Inc. Total return consists of dividends plus change in NAV per share and assumes
reinvestment of dividends. The Fund's quarterly performance ranked ninth among
the 66 funds in this Lipper universe.
The Fund's total return at market--that is, dividends plus the price change
of the Fund's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange, assuming
reinvestment of dividends--was an even stronger 5.8%.
PERFORMANCE FOR NINE AND TWELVE MONTHS
The Fund provided favorable returns, as well, over the first three fiscal
quarters ended July 31, 1998 and for the 12 months ended July 31, 1998. For the
three quarters, the Fund's total return of 6.4% on NAV surpassed the 5.1% return
of the Lehman Index. The Fund's return at market for the three quarters was
8.5%.
For the 12 months ended July 31, 1998, the Fund's total return of 6.8% on
NAV exceeded the 6.0% return for the Lehman Index and the 6.0% average total
return for the leveraged closed-end general municipal bond funds monitored by
Lipper. The Fund's 12-month performance was 11th among the 65 funds in this
Lipper universe. At market, the Fund's 12-month return was 10.1%.
FOCUSING ON NON-CALLABLE AND DISCOUNT BONDS
We are pleased with these results, which were achieved by remaining
disciplined in our investment philosophy. Bond prices have been strong for most
of the past year, driven by low inflation and declining long-term interest
rates. Throughout the third quarter, we continued our strategy of selling bonds
in the Fund's portfolio as their market price reached par (face value),
reinvesting the proceeds in non-callable issues and bonds trading at a discount
to par. In a rising market, non-callable and discount bonds tend to outperform
issues trading at par or higher.
We also maintained the high quality level of the Fund's portfolio. Because
there currently is only a modest yield difference between higher-rated and
lower-rated municipal securities, we see little incentive at this time to own
lower-rated bonds. As of July 31, 1998, 92.2% of the long-term securities owned
by the Fund were rated A or better by Standard & Poor's or Moody's.
We remain positive in our outlook for municipal securities. At the end of
July 1998, yields on long-term triple-A tax-exempt municipal securities were
equal to about 92% of the yield on long U.S. Government bonds, one of the
highest ratios in memory, indicating the attractive relative value of municipal
securities.
DIVIDEND PAYMENTS AND YIELD
In both the fiscal quarter and nine months, the Fund continued to meet its
objective of providing a high level of income exempt from regular federal income
tax. The Fund paid regular monthly dividends of 6.65 cents per common share, or
a total 19.95 cents per common share for the quarter and 59.85 cents per share
for the fiscal nine months.
The yield on the Fund's common shares (based on the $13.6875 per share
closing market price on July 31, 1998 and the annualized current monthly
dividend rate of 6.65 cents per common share) was 5.8% at the end of July. This
compares with a yield of 5.7% for long-term U.S. Government bonds. For an
investor in the top federal tax bracket of 39.6%, the Fund's yield was
equivalent to 9.7% on a taxable basis.

PREFERRED STOCK COSTS
The Fund uses leverage from its preferred shares to help generate income
for the holders of its common shares. At the latest auction on August 10, 1998,
the Fund sold 28-day auction rate preferred stock at an annual dividend rate of
3.38%, compared with 3.39% on the previous 28-day issue.
Proceeds from the preferred stock are invested in municipal bonds that
yield more than the cost of the preferred, with the Fund's common shares
realizing the difference. Besides adding to income, the use of leverage tends to
magnify capital appreciation in a rising bond market and magnify capital losses
in a declining market.
PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS
At the end of July 1998, at market value, 99.9% of the Fund's portfolio was
invested in long-term securities and 0.1% in cash equivalents. The average
maturity of the portfolio was 21.7 years.
In selecting securities for the Fund, we look for sector, maturity and
quality groups of the municipal bond market that we believe provide the best
relative value--that is, the highest yield at the lowest price with the least
amount of risk. The five largest portfolio positions by state as of July 31,
1998 were: New York, representing 15.1% of the Fund's net assets; Texas, 11.4%;
California, 9.6%; Massachusetts, 7.0%; and Illinois, 5.6%. The five largest
market sectors were: health and hospital, 21.3% of the Fund's net assets;
housing, 17.4%; general obligation, 16.8%; water and sewer, 12.1%; and airline
and airport, 8.6%. There was no significant change in allocation during the
fiscal third quarter.
DISCOUNT
The Fund's common shares trade at a discount to NAV, as is true of many
closed-end municipal bond funds. This discount narrowed to 8.5% on July 31, 1998
from 10.8% three months earlier. One way for owners of the Fund's common shares
to capitalize on the discount and acquire an interest in quality securities at a
price below NAV is by reinvesting dividends, as many of the Fund's shareholders
do.

SUMMARY
We remain dedicated to meeting the needs of shareholders by providing a
high level of income exempt from federal income tax. We at the Fund, together
with Value Advisors LLC, the Fund's investment manager, and OpCap Advisors,
which provides advisory and administrative services to the Fund, thank you for
your continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Stephen Treadway
Stephen Treadway
