Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund

333-59770, 811-09475

    Thirty-three Nuveen leveraged closed-end funds (including
the Nuveen Insured Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund
(symbol  NVG ) (hereafter, the  Fund )) have each received a
demand letter from a law firm on behalf of purported holders of
the funds common shares. Each letter alleged that Nuveen Fund
Advisors (the funds investment adviser) and the funds officers
and Board of Directors or Trustees, as applicable (the  Board of
Trustees ) breached their fiduciary duties by favoring the
interests of holders of the funds auction rate preferred shares
( ARPS ) over those of its common shareholders in connection
with each funds ARPS refinancing and/or redemption activities,
and demanded that the Board take action to remedy those alleged
breaches. In response to the demand letters, each funds Board of
Trustees established a Demand Committee of certain of its
disinterested and independent members to investigate the claims.
The Demand Committee, for each fund, retained independent
counsel to assist it in conducting its investigation. Based upon its
investigation, the Demand Committee, for each fund, found that
it was not in the best interests of each fund or its shareholders to
take the actions suggested in the demand letters, and
recommended that the full Board reject the demands made in the
demand letters. After reviewing the findings and
recommendation of each Demand Committee, the full Board of
each fund unanimously adopted the Demand Committees
recommendation and each of the thirty-three funds has since
rejected the demands made in the demand letters.

    Subsequently, all thirty-three funds that received demand
letters (including the Fund) and one fund that did not receive a
demand letter were named as nominal defendants in four putative
shareholder derivative action complaints filed in the Circuit
Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division (the  Cook
County Chancery Court ). The four putative shareholder actions
have since been consolidated into one shareholder derivative
action complaint captioned Martin Safier, et al., v. Nuveen Asset
Management, et al., filed with the Cook County Chancery Court
on February 18, 2011 (the  Complaint ). The Complaint was
filed on behalf of purported holders of each funds common
shares and also names Nuveen Fund Advisors as a defendant,
together with current and former officers and a trustee of each of
the funds (together with the nominal defendants, collectively, the
 Defendants ). The Complaint contains the same basic
allegations contained in the demand letters. The suit seeks a
declaration that the Defendants have breached their fiduciary
duties, an order directing the Defendants not to redeem any
ARPS at their liquidation value using fund assets, indeterminate
monetary damages in favor of the funds and an award of
plaintiffs costs and disbursements in pursuing the action. The
plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary injunction to stop the
funds subject to the lawsuits from redeeming additional ARPS
during the pendency of the lawsuits. The court rejected that
motion on November 23, 2010.

    On April 29, 2011, each of the Defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the Complaint, which remains pending before the court.

    By decision dated December 16, 2011, the Court granted
the Defendants Motion to Dismiss with prejudice. It is not
known whether the plaintiffs intend to file an appeal of the
Courts decision.
