1	The maximum deferred sales charge is 4.00% in the first year after purchase, 4.00% in the second year, 3.00% in the third year; 2.50% in the fourth year, 1.50% during the fifth year after purchase and zero thereafter. See “Purchase of Shares — Class B Shares” in the Fund’s prospectus.


2	The maximum deferred sales charge is 1.00% in the first year after purchase and zero thereafter. See “Purchase of Shares — Class C Shares” in the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s investment adviser is currently waiving or reimbursing all or a portion of the Fund’s management fees or other expenses. The fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are expected to continue (such that the net annual fund operating expenses do not exceed those amounts listed above) until such time that the Fund’s board of trustees acts to discontinue all or a portion of such waivers and/or reimbursements.

Example:

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same each year (except for the ten-year amounts for Class B Shares which reflect the conversion of Class B Shares to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the shares were purchased). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:



	One	Three	Five	Ten
	Year	Years	Years	Years

Class A Shares	$	$	$	$

Class B Shares	$	$	$	$

Class C Shares	$	$	$	$


You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund’s investment adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated money-market securities, including U.S. government securities, domestic and foreign bank obligations, commercial paper and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. The Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in high-quality money-market securities with remaining maturities of 13 months or less and with a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less. The Fund’s investments are limited to those securities that meet maturity, quality and diversification standards with which money market funds must comply. In selecting securities for investment, the Fund’s investment adviser seeks to invest in those securities that it believes entail reasonable risk

considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies and may sell such securities in order to increase the yield or to adjust the average maturity or credit quality of the Fund’s investment portfolio.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund is subject to risks, and you could lose money on your investment in the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank or other insured depository institution and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.


•	Income risk. The income you receive from the Fund is based primarily on short-term interest rates, which can vary widely over time. If short-term interest rates drop, your income from the Fund may drop as well.

•

Credit risk. Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. While credit risk should be low for the Fund because it invests in high-quality money-market instruments, an investment in the Fund is not risk free. The Fund is still subject to the risk that the issuers of such securities may experience financial difficulties and, as a result, fail to pay on their obligations.


•	Market risk. Market risk is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline and adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value. The prices of debt securities tend to fall as interest rates rise, but market risk should be low for the Fund because it invests in high-quality, short-term securities.

Annual Performance

One way to measure the risks of investing in the Fund is to look at how its performance has varied from year to year. The following chart shows the annual returns of the Fund’s Class A Shares over the one calendar year prior to the date of this Prospectus. The actual annual returns of Class B Shares and Class C Shares would have similar variability from year to year as shown for the Fund’s Class A Shares; however, the actual annual returns of such classes of shares will differ from that shown for Class A Shares. Remember that past performance of the Fund is not indicative of its future performance.

Annual Return

The Fund’s return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 for Class A Shares was %. Updated performance information for the Fund is available on our web site at www.vankampen.com. As a result of market activity, current performance may vary from the figures shown.

During the one-year period shown in the bar chart, the highest quarterly return for Class A Shares was 1.45% (for the quarter ended December 31, 2000) and the lowest quarterly return for Class A Shares was 0.02% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2004).

Comparative Performance

As a basis for evaluating the Fund’s performance and risks, the table below shows the Fund’s average annual total returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 (the most recently completed calendar year prior to the date of this Prospectus). The Fund’s performance figures for Class B Shares and Class C Shares include the maximum contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors. Remember that past performance of the Fund is not indicative of its future performance.

Investment Advisory Services

Van Kampen Asset Management is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The minimum initial investment amount for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares is $1,000 for each such class of shares for regular accounts; $500 for each such class of shares for retirement accounts; and $50 for each such class of shares for accounts participating in a systematic investment program established directly with the Fund. The minimum subsequent investment is $50 for each such class of shares and all account types. For more information, see “Purchase of Shares — How to Buy Shares” in the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s shares are redeemable. Generally, holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares may redeem some or all of their shares without charge by the Fund (other than any applicable deferred sales charge) on any business day by written request (through an authorized dealer following procedures specified by such authorized dealer) or by telephone request by calling (800) 847-2424. Payment for shares redeemed generally will be made within seven days after receipt of request; certain telephone redemptions may be eligible for payment by wire transfer on the next business day.

Tax Information

Shareholders may receive distributions from the Fund of dividends and capital gains, which may be taxable to shareholders. See “Federal Income Taxation” in the Fund’s prospectus.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and
Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s web site for more information.

Investment Objective,
Principal Investment
Strategies and Risks

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek protection of capital and high current income. The Fund’s investment objective is a fundamental policy and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. There are risks inherent in all investments in securities; accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund’s net asset value will not vary or that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Principal Investment
Strategies and Risks

The Fund’s investment adviser seeks to achieve the investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated money-market securities, including U.S. government securities, domestic and foreign bank obligations, commercial paper and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. The Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share by investing in high-quality money-market securities with remaining maturities of 13 months or less and with a dollar-weighted average maturity of 90 days or less. To be considered high quality, a security generally must be rated in one of the two highest short-term ratings categories by ratings services such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”).

The Fund’s investment adviser seeks to invest in those securities that meet the maturity, quality and diversification standards established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and special rules for money market funds under the 1940 Act. These include requirements for maintaining high credit quality in the Fund’s portfolio, a short average portfolio maturity to reduce the effects of changes in interest rates on the value of portfolio securities and diversifying investments among issuers to reduce the effects of a default by any one issuer on the value of the Fund’s shares. In addition, the Fund’s Board

of Trustees has adopted procedures to evaluate potential investments and the Fund’s investment adviser has the responsibility to implement those procedures in making investments for the Fund’s portfolio. In selecting securities for investment, the Fund’s investment adviser focuses on identifying what it believes are the best relative values among potential investments based upon an analysis of the yield, price, interest rate sensitivity and credit quality of such securities. The Fund’s investment adviser seeks to add value and limit risk through careful security selection and by actively managing the Fund’s portfolio. On an ongoing basis, the Fund’s investment adviser analyzes the economic and financial outlook of the money markets to anticipate and respond to changing developments that may affect the Fund’s existing and prospective investments. While the Fund intends to hold investments until maturity, it may sell portfolio securities prior to maturity to increase the yield or to adjust the average maturity or credit quality of the Fund’s investment portfolio.

The Fund’s dividend and yield are expected to change daily based upon changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Although the Fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to do so.

The following is a brief description of the types of money-market instruments in which the Fund may invest, all of which will be U.S. dollar-denominated obligations:

U.S. government securities. The Fund may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities which are supported by any of the following: (a) the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which include U.S. Treasury bills (maturing within one year of issuance) and U.S. Treasury notes and bonds (which have longer maturities), (b) the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (c) the discretionary authority of the U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or (d) the credit of the instrumentality issuing the securities. If the securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, the owners of such securities must look to the agency or instrumentality issuing the obligation for repayment and will not be able to assert a claim against the U.S. government in the event of nonpayment. Governmental agencies or instrumentalities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited to, the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal Land Banks, and the Farmer’s Home Administration.

Bank obligations. The Fund may invest in high-quality obligations issued by domestic and foreign banks or their subsidiaries or overseas branches. Bank obligations include time deposits, certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances, as well as securities secured by such obligations. Certificates of deposit are instruments representing the obligation of a bank to repay funds deposited with it for a specified period of time. Time deposits are interest-bearing deposits maintained in a bank for a specified period of time (not longer than seven days) at a specific rate of interest. Time deposits held by the Fund generally will not benefit from insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Bankers’ acceptances are credit instruments evidencing the obligation of a bank to pay a draft drawn on it by a customer. These instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the drawer to pay the face amount of the instrument upon maturity.

The Fund only invests in “high-quality” bank obligations, which are securities rated in one of the two highest short-term ratings categories by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), such as S&P (e.g., A-1 or A-2) or Moody’s (e.g., P-1 or P-2) (or any one NRSRO if the instrument was rated by only one such organization). Credit quality at the time of purchase determines which securities may be acquired. Subsequent downgrades in ratings may require reassessment of the credit risks presented by such securities and may even require their sale. NRSROs assign ratings based upon their opinions as to the quality of the debt securities they undertake to rate, but they do not base their assessment on the market value risk of such securities. It should be emphasized that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality. The Fund’s current policy is to limit investments in bank obligations to those rated A-1 or P-1.

The purchase of obligations of foreign banks may subject the Fund to additional investment risks that are different in some respects from those incurred in investing in obligations of domestic banks. Foreign banks and foreign branches or subsidiaries of domestic banks are not necessarily subject to the same or similar regulatory requirements that apply to domestic banks, such as mandatory reserve requirements, loan limitations and accounting, audit and financial record keeping requirements. In addition, less information may be

publicly available about a foreign bank or about a foreign branch of a domestic bank. Because evidences of ownership of obligations of foreign branches or subsidiaries of foreign banks usually are held outside the United States, the Fund will be subject to additional risks which include possible adverse political and economic developments, possible seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits and possible adoption of governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment of principal and interest on the foreign obligations or might restrict the payment of principal and interest to investors located outside the country of the issuer, whether from currency blockage or otherwise. Income earned or received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be reduced by withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries.

Commercial paper. Commercial paper consists of short-term (usually 1 to 270 days) unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their current operations. The Fund may invest in a commercial paper obligation that (a) is rated in one of the two highest short-term ratings categories by any two NRSROs (e.g., A-1 or A-2 by S&P and P-1 or P-2 by Moody’s) (or any one NRSRO if the instrument was rated by only one such organization) or (b) is unrated, if such security is of comparable quality as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees or if such security was a long-term security at the time of issuance but has a remaining life of 397 days or less and has received a long-term rating in one of the three highest long-term ratings categories by any two NRSROs (e.g., A or higher by S&P and Moody’s) (or any one NRSRO if the instrument was rated by only one such organization). Credit quality at the time of purchase determines which securities may be acquired. The Fund’s current policy is to limit investments in commercial paper to obligations rated A-1 or P-1.

Repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is a short-term investment in which the purchaser (e.g., the Fund) acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the obligation at a future time and at a set price, thereby determining the yield during the holding period. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with U.S. banks, their subsidiaries or overseas branches, and with primary dealers of U.S. government securities that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The Fund only enters into repurchase agreements that are (a) rated at the time of investment in one of the two highest ratings categories by at least two NRSROs (e.g. A-1 or A-2 by S&P and P-1 or P-2 by Moody’s) (or one NRSRO if the instrument was rated by only one such organization) and (b) collateralized by the underlying securities of the same type and quality in which the Fund otherwise may invest. The Fund will not invest in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days if any such investment, together with any other illiquid securities held by the Fund, would exceed 10% of the Fund’s net assets. Repurchase agreements are subject to the risk of default by the other party.

Further information about these types of investments and other investment practices that may be used by the Fund is contained in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained by investors free of charge as described on the back cover of this Prospectus.

Investment
Advisory Services

The adviser. Van Kampen Asset Management is the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“Van Kampen Investments”). Van Kampen Investments is a diversified asset management company that services more than three million retail investor accounts, has extensive capabilities for managing institutional portfolios and has more than $86 billion under management or supervision as of June 30, 2009. Van Kampen Funds Inc., the distributor of the Fund (the “Distributor”), is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments. Van Kampen Investments is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, a preeminent global financial services firm that provides a wide range of investment banking, securities, investment management and wealth management services. The Adviser’s principal office is located at 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10036.

Advisory agreement. The Fund retains the Adviser to manage the investment of its assets and to place orders for the purchase and sale of its portfolio securities. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee computed based

upon an annual rate applied to the average daily net assets of the Fund as follows:



Average Daily Net Assets	% Per Annum

First $250 million		0	.450%

Next $500 million		0	.375%

Next $500 million		0	.325%

Next $250 million		0	.300%

Next $250 million		0	.275%

Next $500 million		0	.250%

Next $500 million		0	.225%

Next $12.25 billion		0	.200%

Next $2.5 billion		0	.199%

Next $7.5 billion		0	.198%

Next $5 billion		0	.197%

Over $30 billion		0	.196%

Applying this fee schedule, the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was % of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Fund’s fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. The Fund’s average daily net assets are determined by taking the average of all of the determinations of the net assets during a given calendar month. Such fee is payable for each calendar month as soon as practicable after the end of that month.

The Adviser furnishes offices, necessary facilities and equipment and provides administrative services to the Fund. The Fund pays all charges and expenses of its day-to-day operations, including service fees, distribution fees, custodian fees, legal and independent registered public accounting firm fees, the costs of reports and proxies to shareholders, compensation of trustees of the Fund (other than those who are affiliated persons of the Adviser, Distributor or Van Kampen Investments) and all other ordinary business expenses not specifically assumed by the Adviser.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Advisory Agreement is available in the Fund’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009.

Purchase of Shares

General

This Prospectus offers three classes of shares of the Fund, designated as Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. By offering multiple classes of shares, the Fund permits each investor to choose the class of shares that is most beneficial given the type of investor, the amount to be invested and the length of time the investor expects to hold the shares. You should discuss with your authorized dealer which share class is most appropriate for you. As described more fully below, each class of shares offers a distinct structure of sales charges, distribution and service fees and other features that are designed to address a variety of needs.

Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund and has the same rights except that (i) Class A Shares are sold without a sales charge, while Class B Shares and Class C Shares generally bear the sales charge expenses at the time of redemption and any expenses (including higher distribution fees and transfer agency costs) resulting from such deferred sales charge arrangement, (ii) each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to approvals of the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan and the service plan (each as described below) under which the class’s distribution fee and/or service fee is paid, (iii) each class of shares has different exchange privileges, (iv) certain classes of shares are subject to a conversion feature and (v) certain classes of shares have different shareholder service options available.

No dealer, salesperson or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this Prospectus, in connection with the offer contained in this Prospectus and, if given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser or the Fund’s distributor. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer by the Fund or by the Fund’s distributor to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities offered hereby in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful for the Fund to make such an offer in such jurisdiction.

Pricing Fund Shares

The offering price of the Fund’s shares is based upon the Fund’s net asset value per share. Differences in net asset values per share of each class of the Fund’s shares are generally expected to be due to the daily expense accruals of the specified distribution and service fees and transfer agency costs applicable to such class of shares and the differential in the dividends that may be paid on each class of shares.

The net asset value per share for each class of shares of the Fund is determined once daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) each day the Exchange is open for trading except on any day on which no purchase or redemption orders are received or there is not a sufficient degree of trading in the Fund’s portfolio securities such that the Fund’s net asset value per share might be materially affected. The Fund’s Board of Trustees reserves the right to calculate the net asset value per share and adjust the offering price more frequently than once daily if deemed desirable. Net asset value per share for each class is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets (including accrued interest) attributable to such class, less all liabilities (including accrued expenses) attributable to such class, by the total number of shares of the class outstanding. The securities held by the Fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses. Amortized cost valuation involves initially valuing a security at its cost and thereafter applying a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price that the Fund would receive if it sold the security.

Distribution Plan and Service Plan

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the “Distribution Plan”) with respect to each of its Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Fund also has adopted a service plan (the “Service Plan”) with respect to each of its Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Under the Distribution Plan and the Service Plan, the Fund pays distribution fees in connection with the sale and distribution of its shares and service fees in connection with the provision of ongoing services to shareholders of each such class and the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

The amount of distribution fees and service fees varies among the classes offered by the Fund. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, these fees will increase the cost of your investment in the Fund. By purchasing a class of shares subject to higher distribution fees and service fees, you may pay more over time than on a class of shares with other types of sales charge arrangements. Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charges permitted by the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The net income attributable to a class of shares will be reduced by the amount of the distribution fees and service fees and other expenses of the Fund associated with that class of shares.

To assist investors in comparing classes of shares, the tables under the Prospectus heading “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” provide a summary of sales charges and expenses and an example of the sales charges and expenses of the Fund applicable to each class of shares offered herein.

How to Buy Shares

The shares are offered on a continuous basis through the Distributor as principal underwriter, which is located at 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10036. Shares may be purchased through members of FINRA who are acting as securities dealers (“dealers”) and FINRA members or eligible non-FINRA members who are acting as brokers or agents for investors (“brokers”). Dealers and brokers are sometimes referred to herein as authorized dealers.

Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares may be purchased on any business day by following the wire transfer instructions described below or by completing the account application form and forwarding it, directly or through an authorized dealer, administrator, custodian, trustee, record keeper or financial adviser, to the Fund’s shareholder service agent, Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (“Investor Services”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments. When purchasing shares of the Fund, investors must specify whether the purchase is for Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares by selecting the correct Fund number on the account application form. Sales

personnel of authorized dealers distributing the Fund’s shares are entitled to receive compensation for selling Class B Shares and Class C Shares and may receive differing compensation for selling such shares. Sales personnel of authorized dealers are not entitled to receive compensation for selling Class A Shares.

The Adviser and/or the Distributor may pay compensation (out of their own funds and not as an expense of the Fund) to certain affiliated or unaffiliated authorized dealers in connection with the sale or retention of Fund shares and/or shareholder servicing. Such compensation may be significant in amount and the prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, such compensation may provide both affiliated and unaffiliated entities, and their representatives or employees, with an incentive to favor sales of shares of the Fund over other investment options. Any such payments will not change the net asset value or the price of the Fund’s shares. For more information, please see the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information and/or contact your authorized dealer.

The offering price for shares is based upon the next calculation of net asset value per share after an order becomes effective, which is upon receipt by Investor Services of federal funds. Payment by check generally will be converted into federal funds on the second business day following receipt of payment for the order by Investor Services.

The Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to reject or limit any order to purchase Fund shares through exchange or otherwise and to close any shareholder account when they believe it is in the best interests of the Fund. Certain patterns of past exchanges and/or purchase or sale transactions involving the Fund or other Participating Funds (as defined below) may result in the Fund rejecting or limiting, in the Fund’s or the Distributor’s discretion, additional purchases and/or exchanges or in an account being closed. Determinations in this regard may be made based on the frequency or dollar amount of the previous exchanges or purchase or sale transactions. The Fund also reserves the right to suspend the sale of the Fund’s shares to investors in response to conditions in the securities markets or for other reasons. As used herein, “Participating Funds” refers to Van Kampen investment companies advised by the Adviser and distributed by the Distributor as determined from time to time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Investor accounts will automatically be credited with additional shares of the Fund after any Fund distributions, such as dividends and capital gain dividends, unless the investor instructs the Fund otherwise. Investors in Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Fund wishing to receive cash instead of additional shares should contact the Fund by visiting our web site at www.vankampen.com, by writing to the Fund, c/o Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., PO Box 219286, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9286, or by telephone at (800) 847-2424.

Except as described below, the minimum initial investment amount when establishing a new account with the Fund is $1,000 for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares for regular accounts; $500 for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares for retirement accounts; and $50 for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares for accounts participating in a systematic investment program established directly with the Fund.

The Fund may, in its discretion and with appropriate advance notice, redeem any Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares shareholder account (other than an account participating in the systematic investment program) that has a balance of less than $500. Shareholders will receive written notice at least 60 days in advance of any involuntary redemption and will be given the opportunity to purchase (subject to any applicable sales charges) the number of additional shares needed to bring the account value to $500.

The minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements are not applicable to (i) certain omnibus accounts at financial intermediaries, (ii) employer sponsored retirement plan accounts or pre-approved asset allocation plan accounts, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts and (iv) accounts receiving payments through government allotments. In addition, the minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements are not applicable to transactions conducted in any type of account resulting from (i) dividend reinvestment and dividend diversification, (ii) systematic exchange plans, (iii) conversions of Class B Shares to Class A Shares, and (iv) transfers between certain types of accounts, transfers from other custodians and/or transfers of ownership.

Class B Shares and Class C Shares shareholder accounts with a value less than the low balance amount (the “Low Balance Amount”) as determined from time to time by the Fund and the Adviser. The Fund and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any shareholder account will be posted on our web site, www.vankampen.com, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the transfer agent and will be used by the transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Fund to the transfer agent under the transfer agency agreement. The low balance fee is not applicable to (i) certain omnibus accounts at financial intermediaries, (ii) fund of funds accounts, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) accounts participating in a systematic investment plan established directly with the Fund that have been in existence for less than 12 months, (v) accounts receiving regular periodic employee salary deferral deposits established through the transfer agent that have been in existence for less than 12 months, (vi) accounts currently receiving assets under a systematic exchange plan, (vii) accounts falling below the Low Balance Amount due to automatic conversions of Class B Shares into Class A Shares and (viii) certain accounts established through a broker for which the transfer agent does not have discretion to initiate transactions.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Fund has implemented an anti-money laundering compliance program and has designated an anti-money laundering compliance officer. As part of the program, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means to you: when you open an account, you will be asked to provide your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. The Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to not open your account if this information is not provided. If the Fund or the Distributor is unable to verify your identity, the Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to restrict additional transactions and/or liquidate your account at the next calculated net asset value after the account is closed (minus any applicable sales or other charges) or take any other action required by law.

Class A Shares

Class A Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value without a sales charge.

Under the Distribution Plan and the Service Plan, the Fund may spend up to a total of 0.15% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class A Shares of the Fund.

Class B Shares

Class B Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within five years of purchase as shown in the following table:

Class B Shares
Sales Charge Schedule



					Contingent Deferred
					Sales Charge
					as a Percentage of
					Dollar Amount
		Year Since Purchase			Subject to Charge

		First			4.00%

		Second			4.00%

		Third			3.00%

		Fourth			2.50%

		Fifth			1.50%

		Sixth and After			None

The contingent deferred sales charge is assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the then current market value of the shares or the historical cost of the shares (which is the amount actually paid for the shares at the time of original purchase) being redeemed. Accordingly, no sales charge is imposed on increases in net asset value above the initial purchase price. Shareholders should retain any records necessary to substantiate the historical cost of their shares, as the Fund and authorized dealers may not retain this information. In addition, no sales charge is assessed on shares derived from reinvestment of dividends or capital gain dividends.

The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge, if any, varies depending on the number of years from the time of each purchase of Class B Shares until the time of redemption of such shares.

In determining whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a redemption, it is assumed that the shares being redeemed first are any shares in the shareholder’s Fund account that are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, followed by shares held the longest in the shareholder’s account.

Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund may spend up to 0.75% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class B Shares of the Fund. In addition, under the Service Plan, the Fund may spend up to 0.15% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class B Shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the terms of the Plans, the Fund may spend less (and therefore shareholders may be charged less) than the combined annual distribution and service fees of 0.90% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class B Shares of the Fund. See the section entitled “Financial Highlights” herein and the section entitled “Distribution and Service” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Eligible purchasers of Class B Shares may also be entitled to reduced or no contingent deferred sales charges through certain purchase programs offered by the Fund. For more information, see “Other Purchase Programs” herein.

Conversion feature. Class B Shares purchased on or after June 1, 1996, including Class B Shares received from reinvestment of distributions through the dividend reinvestment plan on such shares, automatically convert to Class A Shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in which the shares were purchased. Such conversion will be on the basis of the relative net asset values per share, without the imposition of any sales load, fee or other charge. The conversion schedule applicable to a share of the Fund acquired through the exchange privilege from a Participating Fund is determined by reference to the Participating Fund from which such share was originally purchased.

Class C Shares

Class C Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the dollar amount subject to charge if redeemed within one year of purchase.

Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund may spend up to 0.75% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class C Shares of the Fund. In addition, under the Service Plan, the Fund may spend up to 0.15% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class C Shares of the Fund. Pursuant to the terms of the Plans, the Fund may spend less (and therefore shareholders may be charged less) than the combined annual distribution and service fees of 0.90% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to Class C Shares of the Fund. See the section entitled “Financial Highlights” herein and the section entitled “Distribution and Service” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Eligible purchasers of Class C Shares may also be entitled to reduced or no sales charges through certain purchase programs offered by the Fund. For more information, see “Other Purchase Programs” herein.

Factors for Consideration

Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Fund generally are made available to shareholders for temporary investment purposes in connection with exchanges to or from other Van Kampen funds participating in the exchange program. Investors purchasing shares of the Fund without regard to the availability of exchanges should purchase Class A Shares because Class A Shares are not subject to any sales charges and are subject to less ongoing distribution/service fees and related expenses. Therefore, Class A Shares will have a higher yield than Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Even investors who do intend to exchange their shares for Class B Shares or Class C Shares of other Van Kampen funds should consider purchasing Class A Shares and then redeeming those shares when they wish to invest in Class B Shares or Class C Shares of other Van Kampen funds. Since Class A Shares are subject to lower distribution/service fees and related expenses, purchasing Class A Shares and then redeeming them to purchase Class B Shares or Class C Shares of other Van Kampen funds is likely to result in a higher return to the investor than purchasing Class B Shares or Class C Shares and then exchanging them for Class B Shares or Class C Shares of other Van Kampen funds. The contingent deferred sales charges applicable to Class B Shares and Class C Shares are not imposed on exchanges among Van Kampen funds participating in the exchange program for the same class of shares. Instead, Class B Shares or Class C Shares acquired in an exchange remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charges schedule of the initial fund from which the Class B Shares or Class C Shares were purchased. Similarly, the holding period for calculating any contingent deferred sales charge is based upon the date of purchase of such shares from the initial fund.

Waiver of Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge

The contingent deferred sales charge is waived on redemptions of Class B Shares and Class C Shares purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (i) within one year following the death or disability (as disability is defined by federal income tax law) of a shareholder, (ii) for required minimum distributions from an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or certain other retirement plan distributions, (iii) for withdrawals under the Fund’s systematic withdrawal plan but limited to 12% annually of the amount of the shareholder’s investment at the time the plan is established, (iv) if no commission or transaction fee is paid by the Distributor to authorized dealers at the time of purchase of such shares or (v) if made by the Fund’s involuntary liquidation of a shareholder’s account as described herein. With respect to Class B Shares and Class C Shares, waiver category (iv) above is only applicable with respect to shares sold through certain 401(k) plans. Subject to certain limitations, a shareholder who has redeemed Class C Shares of the Fund may reinvest in Class C Shares at net asset value with credit for any contingent deferred sales charge if the reinvestment is made within 180 days after the redemption, provided that shares of the Fund are available for sale at the time of reinvestment. For a more complete description of contingent deferred sales charge waivers, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information or contact your authorized dealer.

Other Purchase Programs

Exchange privilege. Exchanges of shares are sales of shares of one Participating Fund and purchases of shares of another Participating Fund. Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of the same class of any Participating Fund based on the next determined net asset value per share of each fund after requesting the exchange without any sales charge, subject to certain limitations. For more information regarding the exchange privilege, see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Shareholder Services — Exchange privilege.”

Reinstatement privilege. A holder of Class A Shares or Class B Shares who has redeemed shares of the Fund

may reinstate any portion or all of the net proceeds of such redemption (and may include that amount necessary to acquire a fractional share to round off his or her purchase to the next full share) in Class A Shares of any Participating Fund. A holder of Class C Shares who has redeemed shares of the Fund may reinstate any portion or all of the net proceeds of such redemption (and may include that amount necessary to acquire a fractional share to round off his or her purchase to the next full share) in Class C Shares of any Participating Fund with credit given for any contingent deferred sales charge paid on the amount of shares reinstated from such redemption, provided that such shareholder has not previously exercised this reinstatement privilege with respect to Class C Shares of the Fund. Shares acquired in this manner will be deemed to have the original cost and purchase date of the redeemed shares for purposes of applying the contingent deferred sales charge applicable to Class C Shares to subsequent redemptions. Reinstatements are made at the net asset value per share (without a sales charge) next determined after the order is received, which must be made within 180 days after the date of the redemption, provided that shares of the Participating Fund into which shareholders desire to reinstate their net proceeds of a redemption of shares of the Fund are available for sale.

Reinstatement at net asset value per share is also offered to participants in eligible retirement plans for repayment of principal (and interest) on their borrowings on such plans, provided that shares of the Participating Fund are available for sale. Shareholders must notify the Distributor or their authorized dealer of their eligibility to participate in the reinstatement privilege and may be required to provide documentation to the Participating Fund. For information regarding Participating Funds, shareholders can call Investor Services at (800) 847-2424.

Dividend diversification. A holder of Class A Shares, Class B Shares or Class C Shares may elect, by completing the appropriate section of the account application form or by calling (800) 847-2424, to have all dividends and capital gain dividends paid on a class of shares of the Fund invested into shares of the same class of any of the Participating Funds so long as the investor has a pre-existing account for such class of shares of the other fund. Both accounts must be of the same type, either non-retirement or retirement. If the accounts are retirement accounts, they must both be for the same class and of the same type of retirement plan (e.g. IRA, 403(b)(7), 401(k), Money Purchase and Profit Sharing plans) and for the benefit of the same individual. If a qualified, pre-existing account does not exist, the shareholder must establish a new account subject to any requirements of the Participating Fund into which distributions will be invested. Distributions are invested into the selected Participating Fund, provided that shares of such Participating Fund are available for sale, at its net asset value per share as of the payable date of the distribution from the Fund.

Availability of information. Clear and prominent information regarding sales charges of the Fund and the applicability and availability of discounts from sales charges is available free of charge through our web site at www.vankampen.com, which provides links to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information containing the relevant information.

Redemption of Shares

Generally, shareholders may redeem for cash some or all of their shares without charge by the Fund (other than any applicable deferred sales charge) on any business day.

The redemption price will be the net asset value per share next determined after receipt by Investor Services of a request in proper form from an administrator, custodian, trustee, record keeper or financial adviser or by the Distributor from an authorized dealer, provided such order is transmitted to Investor Services or the Distributor by the time designated by Investor Services or the Distributor. It is the responsibility of administrators, financial advisers, custodians, trustees, record keepers and authorized dealers to transmit redemption requests received by them to Investor Services or the Distributor so they will be received prior to such time. Redemptions completed through an administrator, custodian, trustee, record keeper, financial adviser or authorized dealer may involve additional fees charged by such person.

As described under the Prospectus heading “Purchase of Shares,” redemptions of Class B Shares and Class C Shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Redemptions completed through an authorized dealer, custodian, trustee or record keeper of a retirement plan account may involve additional fees charged by such person.

Except as specified below under “Telephone Redemption Requests,” payment for shares redeemed generally will be made by check mailed within seven days after receipt by Investor Services of the redemption request and any other necessary documents in proper form as described below. Such payment may be postponed or the right of redemption suspended as provided by the rules of the SEC. Such payment may, under certain circumstances, be paid wholly or in part by a distribution-in-kind of portfolio securities. A taxable gain or loss may be recognized by a shareholder upon redemption of shares, including if the redemption proceeds are paid wholly or in part by a distribution-in-kind of portfolio securities. A distribution-in-kind may result in recognition by the shareholder of a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes when such securities are distributed, and the shareholder may have brokerage costs and a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes upon the shareholder’s disposition of such in-kind securities. If the shares to be redeemed have been recently purchased by check, Investor Services may delay the payment of redemption proceeds until it confirms that the purchase check has cleared, which may take up to 15 calendar days from the date of purchase.

Written redemption requests. Shareholders may request a redemption of shares by written request in proper form sent directly to Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., PO Box 219286, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9286. The request for redemption should indicate the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed, the Fund name, the class designation of such shares and the shareholder’s account number. The redemption request must be signed by all persons in whose names the shares are registered. If the proceeds of the redemption exceed $100,000, or if the proceeds are not to be paid to the record owner at the record address, or if the record address has changed within the previous 15 calendar days, signature(s) must be guaranteed by one of the following: a bank or trust company; a broker-dealer; a credit union; a national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency; a savings and loan association; or a federal savings bank.

Generally, a properly signed written request with any required signature guarantee is all that is required for a redemption request to be in proper form. In some cases, however, additional documents may be necessary. Certificated shares may be redeemed only by written request. The certificates for the shares being redeemed must be properly endorsed for transfer and must accompany a written redemption request. Generally, in the event a redemption is requested by and registered to a corporation, partnership, trust, fiduciary, estate or other legal entity owning shares of the Fund, a copy of the corporate resolution or other legal documentation appointing the authorized signer and certified within the prior 120 calendar days must accompany the redemption request. Retirement plan distribution requests should be sent to the plan custodian/trustee to be forwarded to Investor Services. Contact the plan custodian/trustee for further information.

In the case of written redemption requests sent directly to Investor Services, the redemption price is the net asset value per share next determined after the request in proper form is received by Investor Services.

Authorized dealer redemption requests. Shareholders may place redemption requests through an authorized dealer following procedures specified by such authorized dealer. The redemption price for such shares is the net asset value per share next calculated after an order in proper form is received by an authorized dealer provided such order is transmitted to the Distributor by the time designated by the Distributor. It is the responsibility of authorized dealers to transmit redemption requests received by them to the Distributor so they will be received prior to such time. Redemptions completed through an authorized dealer may involve additional fees charged by the dealer.

Telephone redemption requests. The Fund permits redemption of shares by telephone and for redemption proceeds to be sent to the address of record for the account or to the bank account of record as described below. A shareholder automatically has telephone redemption privileges unless the shareholder indicates otherwise by checking the applicable box on the account application form. For accounts that are not established with telephone redemption privileges, a shareholder may call the Fund at (800) 847-2424 to establish the privilege, or may visit our web site at www.vankampen.com to download an Account Services form, which may be completed to establish the privilege. Shares may be redeemed by calling (800) 847-2424, our automated telephone system, which is generally accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Van Kampen Investments and its subsidiaries, including Investor Services, and the Fund employ procedures considered by them to be reasonable to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures include requiring certain personal identification information

prior to acting upon telephone instructions, tape-recording telephone communications and providing written confirmation of instructions communicated by telephone. If reasonable procedures are employed, none of Van Kampen Investments, Investor Services or the Fund will be liable for following telephone instructions which it reasonably believes to be genuine. Telephone redemptions may not be available if the shareholder cannot reach Investor Services by telephone, whether because all telephone lines are busy or for any other reason; in such case, a shareholder would have to use the Fund’s other redemption procedures previously described. Requests received by Investor Services prior to the close of the Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will be processed at the next determined net asset value per share. These privileges are available for most accounts other than retirement accounts or accounts with shares represented by certificates. If an account has multiple owners, Investor Services may rely on the instructions of any one owner.

For redemptions authorized by telephone, amounts of $50,000 or less may be redeemed daily if the proceeds are to be paid by check or by Automated Clearing House and amounts of at least $1,000 up to $1 million may be redeemed daily if the proceeds are to be paid by wire. The proceeds must be payable to the shareholder(s) of record and sent to the address of record for the account or wired directly to their predesignated bank account for this account. This privilege is not available if the address of record has been changed within 15 calendar days prior to a telephone redemption request. Proceeds from redemptions payable by wire transfer are expected to be wired on the next business day following the date of redemption. The Fund reserves the right at any time to terminate, limit or otherwise modify this redemption privilege.

Expedited telephone redemption requests. Shareholders of the Fund who have completed the appropriate section of the application may request expedited redemption payment of shares having a value of $1,000 or more by calling (800) 421-5666. Redemption proceeds in the form of federal funds will be wired to the bank designated in the application. Expedited telephone redemption requests received prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern time are processed and the proceeds are wired on the date of receipt. Redemption requests received by Investor Services after such hour are subsequently processed and the proceeds are wired on the next banking day following receipt of such request. Investor Services reserves the right to deduct the wiring costs from the proceeds of the redemption. A shareholder may change the bank account previously designated at any time by written notice to Investor Services with the signature(s) of the shareholder(s) guaranteed. The Fund reserves the right at any time to terminate, limit or otherwise modify this expedited redemption privilege.

Distributions from
the Fund

Shareholders may receive distributions from the Fund of dividends and capital gain dividends.

Dividends. Interest from investments is the Fund’s main source of net investment income. The Fund’s present policy, which may be changed at any time by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, is to declare daily and distribute monthly all, or substantially all, of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. Dividends are automatically applied to purchase additional shares of the Fund at the next determined net asset value unless the shareholder instructs otherwise.

Dividends are paid to shareholders of record immediately prior to the determination of net asset value for that day. Since shares are issued and redeemed at the time net asset value is determined, dividends commence on the day following the date shares are issued and are paid for. A redeeming shareholder receives all dividends accrued through the date of redemption.

The per share dividends on Class B Shares and Class C Shares will be lower than the per share dividends on Class A Shares as a result of the higher distribution/service expenses and transfer agency expenses applicable to such classes of shares.

Capital gain dividends. The Fund may realize capital gains or losses when it sells securities, depending on whether the sales prices for the securities are higher or lower than purchase prices. The Fund distributes any net capital gains to shareholders as capital gain dividends at least annually. As in the case of dividends, capital gain dividends are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at the next determined net asset value unless the shareholder instructs otherwise.

Shareholder Services

Listed below are some of the shareholder services the Fund offers to holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. For a more complete description of the Fund’s shareholder services, such as investment accounts, share certificates, retirement plans, automated clearing house deposits, dividend diversification and the systematic withdrawal plan, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information or contact your authorized dealer.

Internet transactions. In addition to performing transactions on your account through written instruction or by telephone, you may also perform certain transactions through the internet (restrictions apply to certain account and transaction types). Please refer to our web site at www.vankampen.com for further instructions regarding internet transactions. Van Kampen Investments and its subsidiaries, including Investor Services, and the Fund employ procedures considered by them to be reasonable to confirm that instructions communicated through the internet are genuine. Such procedures include requiring use of a personal identification number prior to acting upon internet instructions and providing written confirmation of instructions communicated through the internet. If reasonable procedures are employed, none of Van Kampen Investments, Investor Services or the Fund will be liable for following instructions received through the internet which it reasonably believes to be genuine. If an account has multiple owners, Investor Services may rely on the instructions of any one owner.

Reinvestment plan. A convenient way for investors to accumulate additional shares is by accepting dividends and capital gain dividends in shares of the Fund. Such shares are acquired at net asset value per share on the applicable payable date of the dividend or capital gain dividend. Unless the shareholder instructs otherwise, the reinvestment plan is automatic. This instruction may be made by visiting our web site at www.vankampen.com, by writing to Investor Services or by telephone by calling (800) 847-2424. The investor may, on the account application form or prior to any declaration, instruct that dividends and/or capital gain dividends be paid in cash, be reinvested in the Fund at the next determined net asset value or be reinvested in another Participating Fund at the next determined net asset value.

Automatic investment plan. An automatic investment plan is available under which a shareholder can authorize Investor Services to debit the shareholder’s bank account on a regular basis to invest predetermined amounts in the Fund. Additional information is available from the Distributor or your authorized dealer.

Check writing privilege. A Class A Shareholder holding shares of the Fund for which certificates have not been issued and which are not in escrow may write checks against such shareholder’s account by completing the Checkwriting Form and the appropriate section of the account application form and returning the forms to Investor Services. Once the forms are properly completed, signed and returned, a supply of checks (redemption drafts) will be sent to the Class A Shareholder. Checks can be written to the order of any person in any amount of $100 or more.

When a check is presented to the custodian bank, State Street Bank, for payment, full and fractional Class A Shares required to cover the amount of the check are redeemed from the shareholder’s Class A Shares account by Investor Services at the next determined net asset value per share. Check writing redemptions represent the sale of Class A Shares. Any gain or loss realized on the redemption of shares is a taxable event.

Checks will not be honored for redemption of Class A Shares held less than 15 calendar days, unless such Class A Shares have been paid for by bank wire. Any Class A Shares for which there are outstanding certificates may not be redeemed by check. If the amount of the check is greater than the proceeds of all uncertificated shares held in the shareholder’s Class A Shares account, the check will be returned and the shareholder may be subject to additional charges. A shareholder may not liquidate the entire account by means of a check. The check writing privilege may be terminated or suspended at any time by the Fund or by State Street Bank and neither shall incur any liability for such amendment or termination or for effecting redemptions to pay checks reasonably believed to be genuine or for returning or not paying on checks which have not been accepted for any reason. Retirement plans and accounts that are subject to backup withholding are not eligible for the check writing privilege.

Exchange privilege. Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of the same class of any Participating Fund based on the next determined net asset value per share of each

fund after requesting the exchange without any sales charge, subject to certain limitations. Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of any Participating Fund only if shares of that Participating Fund are available for sale. Class A Shares of the Fund which have not previously been charged a sales charge (except for Class A Shares issued under the reinvestment option) or that have been charged a lower sales charge than the sales charge applicable to the shares of the Participating Fund being acquired will have any applicable sales charges differential imposed upon an exchange into a Participating Fund.

Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares of Participating Funds generally may be exchanged for shares of the same class of the Fund (except that some holders of Class I Shares of certain Participating Funds may be eligible to exchange Class I Shares of such Participating Fund for Class A Shares of the Fund) based on the next determined net asset value per share of each fund after requesting the exchange without any sales charge, subject to certain limitations. Shareholders of Participating Funds seeking to exchange their shares for shares of the Fund are subject to the exchange policies of such Participating Fund, including an exchange fee, if any, assessed by such Participating Fund.

Shareholders seeking an exchange amongst Participating Funds should obtain and read the current prospectus for such fund prior to implementing an exchange. A prospectus of any of the Participating Funds may be obtained from an authorized dealer or the Distributor or by visiting our web site at www.vankampen.com.

When shares that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are exchanged among Participating Funds, the holding period for purposes of computing the contingent deferred sales charge is based upon the date of the initial purchase of such shares from a Participating Fund. When such shares are redeemed and not exchanged for shares of another Participating Fund, the shares are subject to the contingent deferred sales charge schedule imposed by the Participating Fund from which such shares were originally purchased.

Exchanges of shares are sales of shares of one Participating Fund and purchases of shares of another Participating Fund. The sale may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. If the shares sold have been held for less than 91 days, the sales charge paid on such shares will be carried over and included in the tax basis of the shares acquired.

A shareholder wishing to make an exchange may do so by sending a written request to Investor Services, by calling (800) 847-2424, our automated telephone system (which is generally accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week), or by visiting our web site at www.vankampen.com. A shareholder automatically has these exchange privileges unless the shareholder indicates otherwise by checking the applicable box on the account application form. Van Kampen Investments and its subsidiaries, including Investor Services, and the Fund employ procedures considered by them to be reasonable to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine. Such procedures include requiring certain personal identification information prior to acting upon telephone instructions, tape-recording telephone communications, and providing written confirmation of instructions communicated by telephone. If reasonable procedures are employed, none of Van Kampen Investments, Investor Services or the Fund will be liable for following telephone instructions which it reasonably believes to be genuine. If the exchanging shareholder does not have an account in the fund whose shares are being acquired, a new account will be established with the same registration, dividend and capital gain dividend options (except dividend diversification) and authorized dealer of record as the account from which shares are exchanged, unless otherwise specified by the shareholder. In order to establish a systematic withdrawal plan for the new account or reinvest dividends from the new account into another fund, however, an exchanging shareholder must submit a specific request.

The Fund and the Distributor reserve the right to reject or limit any order to purchase Fund shares through exchange or otherwise and to close any shareholder account when they believe it is in the best interests of the Fund. Certain patterns of past exchanges and/or purchase or sale transactions involving the Fund or other Participating Funds may result in the Fund rejecting or limiting, in the Fund’s or the Distributor’s discretion, additional purchases and/or exchanges or in an account being closed. Determinations in this regard may be made based on the frequency or dollar amount of the previous exchanges or purchase or sale transactions. The Fund may modify, restrict or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Shareholders will receive

60 days’ notice of any termination or material amendment to this exchange privilege.

Frequent Purchases
and Redemptions
of Fund Shares

Frequent purchases and redemptions of a mutual fund’s shares by shareholders (“market timing” or “short-term trading”) may present risks for long-term shareholders of such fund, which may include, among other things, diluting the value of fund shares held by long-term shareholders, interfering with the efficient management of the fund’s portfolio, increasing trading and administrative costs, incurring unwanted taxable gains and forcing the fund to hold excess levels of cash. As a money market fund, the Fund seeks to invest in money market securities and maintain a stable share price, and thus frequent purchases and sales of Fund shares generally do not present the same degree of risks for the Fund as compared to non-money market funds. Funds in the Van Kampen family of funds discourage and do not accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares by fund shareholders, and the Boards of Trustees/Directors of funds in the Van Kampen family of funds have adopted policies and procedures to deter such frequent purchases and redemptions. Because the Fund is a money market fund without the same degree of risks as a non-money market fund, procedures regarding frequent purchases and redemptions are not applied to the Fund; however, the Fund may not accept purchases or exchanges when the Fund believes that the Fund is being used as a tool for market timing or short-term trading and the Fund may bar those shareholders who trade excessively from making further purchases or exchanges for an indefinite period.

Federal Income Taxation

Distributions of the Fund’s investment company taxable income (generally ordinary income and net short-term capital gain) are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares. Distributions of the Fund’s net capital gain (which is the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) designated as capital gain dividends, if any, are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares, and regardless of how long the shares of the Fund have been held by such shareholders. The Fund expects that its distributions will consist primarily of ordinary income. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s earnings and profits will first reduce the adjusted tax basis of a shareholder’s shares and, after such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gain to such shareholder (assuming such shares are held as a capital asset).

Although distributions generally are treated as taxable in the year they are paid, distributions declared in October, November or December, payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such month and paid during January of the following year will be treated as having been distributed by the Fund and received by the shareholders on the December 31st prior to the date of payment. The Fund will inform shareholders of the source and tax status of all distributions promptly after the close of each calendar year.

Current law provides for reduced federal income tax rates on (i) long-term capital gains received by individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers and (ii) “qualified dividend income” received by individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers from certain domestic and foreign corporations. The reduced rates for long-term capital gains and “qualified dividend income” cease to apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. Fund shareholders, as well as the Fund itself, must also satisfy certain holding period and other requirements in order for such reduced rates for “qualified dividend income” to apply. Because the Fund intends to invest primarily in money market securities, ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund generally will not be eligible for the reduced rate applicable to “qualified dividend income.” To the extent that distributions from the Fund are designated as capital gain dividends, such distributions will be eligible for the reduced rates applicable to long-term capital gains.

The sale or exchange of shares in connection with a redemption or repurchase of shares, as well as certain other transfers, will be a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders who sell their shares will generally recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between their adjusted tax basis in the shares sold and the amount received. If the shares are held by the shareholder as a capital asset,

the gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss. The maximum tax rate applicable to short-term capital gains recognized by all taxpayers is 35%. The maximum tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers on the sale or exchange of shares is 15% (20% for long-term capital gains recognized in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010). For corporate taxpayers, long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 35%.

Backup withholding rules require the Fund, in certain circumstances, to withhold 28% (through 2010, when a higher rate will be applicable) of dividends and certain other payments, including redemption proceeds, paid to shareholders who do not furnish to the Fund their correct taxpayer identification number (in the case of individuals, their social security number) and make certain required certifications (including certifications as to foreign status, if applicable), or who are otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Foreign shareholders, including shareholders who are non-resident aliens, may be subject to U.S. withholding tax on certain distributions (whether received in cash or in shares) at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as prescribed by an applicable treaty. Foreign shareholders must provide documentation to the Fund certifying their non-United States status. Prospective foreign investors should consult their advisers concerning the tax consequences to them of an investment in shares of the Fund.

The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under federal income tax law. If the Fund so qualifies and distributes each year to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, the Fund will not be required to pay federal income taxes on any income it distributes to shareholders. If the Fund distributes less than an amount equal to the sum of 98% of its ordinary income and 98% of its capital gain net income, plus any amounts that were not distributed in previous taxable years, then the Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax on the undistributed amounts.

The federal income tax discussion set forth above is for general information only. Shareholders and prospective investors should consult their own advisers regarding the specific federal tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of shares of the Fund, as well as the effects of state, local and foreign tax laws and any proposed tax law changes. For more information, see the “Taxation” section in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance for the periods indicated. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all distributions and not including payment of the maximum sales charge or taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions). The ratio of expenses to average net assets listed in the tables below for each class of shares of the Fund are based on the average net assets of the Fund for each of the periods listed in the tables. To the extent that the Fund’s average net assets decrease over the Fund’s next fiscal year, such expenses can be expected to increase because certain fixed costs will be spread over a smaller amount of assets. The information has been audited by [ ], the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s most recent financial statements, may be obtained without charge from our web site at www.vankampen.com or by calling the telephone number on the back cover of this Prospectus. This information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Fund’s Annual Report.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Fund was originally incorporated in Maryland on March 28, 1974 under the name American Capital Reserve Fund, Inc. As of July 31, 1995, the Fund was reorganized as a series of the Trust under the name Van Kampen American Capital Reserve Fund. On July 14, 1998, the Fund and the Trust adopted the name Van Kampen Reserve Fund. On January 20, 2009, the Fund and the Trust adopted their present names. The Trust is a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”), Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”) and Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (“Investor Services”) are wholly owned subsidiaries of Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“Van Kampen Investments”), which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. The principal office of each of the Trust, the Fund, the Adviser, the Distributor and Van Kampen Investments is located at 522 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10036. The principal office of Investor Services is located at 2800 Post Oak Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77056.

The authorized capitalization of the Trust consists of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, which can be divided into series, such as the Fund, and further subdivided into classes of each series. Each share represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets of the series with each other share in such series and no interest in any other series. No series is subject to the liabilities of any other series. The Declaration of Trust provides that shareholders are not liable for any liabilities of the Trust or any of its series, requires inclusion of a clause to that effect in every agreement entered into by the Trust or any of its series and indemnifies shareholders against any such liability.

The Fund currently offers three classes of shares, designated as Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Other classes may be established from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust. Each class of shares of the Fund generally is identical in all respects except that each class of shares is subject to its own sales charge schedule and its own distribution and service expenses. Each class of shares also has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution and service fees.

Shares of the Trust entitle their holders to one vote per share; however, separate votes are taken by each series on matters affecting an individual series and separate votes are taken by each class of a series on matters affecting an individual class of such series. For example, a change in investment policy for a series would be voted upon by shareholders of only the series involved and a change in the distribution or service fee for a class of a series would be voted upon by shareholders of only the class of such series involved. Except as otherwise described in the Prospectus or herein, shares do not have cumulative voting rights, preemptive rights or any conversion, subscription or exchange rights.

The Fund does not contemplate holding regular meetings of shareholders to elect trustees or otherwise. However, the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding shares may by written request require a meeting to consider the removal of trustees by a vote of a majority of the shares then outstanding cast in person or by proxy at such meeting. The Fund will assist such holders in communicating with other shareholders of the Fund to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

In the event of liquidation, each of the shares of the Fund is entitled to its portion of all of the Fund’s net assets after all debts and expenses of the Fund have been paid. The liquidation proceeds to holders of classes of shares with higher distribution fees and transfer agency costs are likely to be less than the liquidation proceeds to holders of classes of shares with lower distribution fees and transfer agency costs.

The trustees may amend the Declaration of Trust (including with respect to any series) in any manner without shareholder approval, except that the trustees may not adopt any amendment adversely affecting the rights of shareholders of any series without approval by a majority of the shares of each affected series outstanding and entitled to vote (or such higher vote as may be required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law) and except that the trustees cannot amend the Declaration of Trust to impose any liability on shareholders, make any assessment on shares or impose liabilities on the trustees without approval from each affected shareholder or trustee, as the case may be.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

The following disclosure supplements the disclosure set forth under the caption “Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Risks” in the Prospectus and does not, standing alone, present a complete or accurate explanation of the matters disclosed. Readers must refer also to this caption in the Prospectus for a complete presentation of the matters disclosed below.

Money-Market Securities

The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share for purchases and redemptions. To do so, the Fund uses the amortized cost method of valuing the Fund’s securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, certain requirements of which are summarized below.

In accordance with Rule 2a-7, the Fund is required to (i) maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, (ii) purchase only instruments having remaining maturities of 13 months or less and (iii) invest only in U.S. dollar denominated securities determined in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees to present minimal credit risks. Additionally, securities purchased for investment must be rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories for debt obligations by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) (or any one NRSRO if the instrument

B-3

was rated by only one such organization) or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

In addition, the Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities (including the securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement) of a single issuer, except that (i) the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the “first tier securities” of a single issuer for a period of up to three business days in certain limited circumstances, (ii) the Fund may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government without any such limitation, and (iii) the Fund may invest, with limitations, more than 5% of its total assets in securities subject to a guarantee issued by a non-controlled person. First tier securities are those that have been rated in the highest rating category for short-term obligations by at least two NRSROs (or one NRSRO if the instrument was rated by only one such organization), and unrated securities determined in accordance with procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees to be comparable to those rated in the highest category. The Fund will be limited to 5% of the Fund’s total assets for other permitted investments not in the first tier (“second tier securities”), with the investment in any one such issuer being limited to no more than the greater of 1% of the Fund’s total assets or $1,000,000. As to each security, these percentages are measured at the time the Fund purchases the security.

If a security’s rating is downgraded, the Adviser and/or the Fund’s Board of Trustees may have to reassess the security’s credit risk. If a security has ceased to be a first tier security, the Adviser will promptly reassess whether the security continues to present minimal credit risk. If the Adviser becomes aware that any NRSRO has downgraded its rating of a second tier security or rated previously unrated security below its second highest rating category, the Fund’s Board of Trustees shall promptly reassess whether the security presents minimal credit risk and whether it is in the best interests of the Fund to dispose of it. If the Fund disposes of the security within five days of the Adviser learning of the downgrade, the Adviser will provide the Fund’s Board of Trustees with subsequent notice of such downgrade. If a security is in default, ceases to be a security permitted for investment, is determined no longer to present minimal credit risks or if an event of insolvency as defined in Rule 2a-7 occurs, the Fund must dispose of the security as soon as practicable unless the Fund’s Board of Trustees determines it would be in the best interests of the Fund not to dispose of the security. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying securities and may be considered to be loans under the 1940 Act. The Fund makes payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of book entry transfer to the account of a custodian or bank acting as agent. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of the underlying securities marked-to-market daily at not less than the repurchase price. The underlying securities must be of a type in which the Fund may invest (normally securities of the U.S. government, or its agencies and instrumentalities), except that the underlying securities may have maturity dates exceeding one year. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed to be creditworthy by the Adviser under guidelines approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Fund will not invest in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days if any such investment, together with any other illiquid securities held by the Fund, would exceed the Fund’s limitation on illiquid securities described herein. The Fund does not bear the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying security unless the seller defaults under its repurchase obligation. In the event of the bankruptcy or other default of a seller of a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the underlying securities and losses including: (a) possible decline in the value of the underlying security during the period while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto; (b) possible lack of access to income on the underlying security during this period; and (c) expenses of enforcing its rights.

For the purpose of investing in repurchase agreements, the Adviser may aggregate the cash that certain funds advised or subadvised by the Adviser or certain of its affiliates would otherwise invest separately into a joint account. The cash in the joint account is then invested in repurchase agreements and the funds that contributed to the joint account share pro rata in the net revenue generated. The Adviser believes that the joint

B-4

account produces efficiencies and economies of scale that may contribute to reduced transaction costs, higher returns, higher quality investments and greater diversity of investments for the Fund than would be available to the Fund investing separately. The manner in which the joint account is managed is subject to conditions set forth in an exemptive order from the SEC permitting this practice, which conditions are designed to ensure the fair administration of the joint account and to protect the amounts in that account.

Illiquid Securities

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which includes securities that are not readily marketable, repurchase agreements which have a maturity of longer than seven days, and generally includes securities that are restricted from sale to the public without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The sale of such securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of liquid securities trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities are often purchased at a discount from the market price of unrestricted securities of the same issuer reflecting the fact that such securities may not be readily marketable without some time delay. Investments in securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Ordinarily, the Fund would invest in restricted securities only when it receives the issuer’s commitment to register the securities without expense to the Fund. However, registration and underwriting expenses (which typically range from 7% to 15% of the gross proceeds of the securities sold) may be paid by the Fund. Restricted securities which can be offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act (“144A Securities”) and are determined to be liquid under guidelines adopted by and subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees are not subject to the limitation on illiquid securities. Such 144A Securities are subject to monitoring and may become illiquid to the extent qualified institutional buyers become, for a time, uninterested in purchasing such securities. Factors used to determine whether 144A Securities are liquid include, among other things, a security’s trading history, the availability of reliable pricing information, the number of dealers making quotes or making a market in such security and the number of potential purchasers in the market for such security. For purposes hereof, investments by the Fund in securities of other investment companies will not be considered investments in restricted securities to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief (such as “no action” letters issued by the staff of the SEC interpreting or providing guidance on the 1940 Act or regulations thereunder) from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Fund has adopted the following fundamental investment restrictions which may not be changed without shareholder approval by the vote of a majority of its outstanding voting securities, which is defined by the 1940 Act as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s voting securities present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. The percentage limitations contained in the restrictions and policies set forth herein apply at the time of purchase of securities. With respect to the limitations on illiquid securities and borrowings, the percentage limitations apply at the time of purchase and on an ongoing basis. These restrictions provide that the Fund shall not:


	1.	Purchase any security which matures more than two years from the date of purchase. As set forth under “Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Risks” in the Prospectus, the Fund’s operating policy is not to purchase any security having a remaining maturity of more than 13 months.

	2.	Purchase any security other than (a) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (b) bank time deposits, certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances which are obligations of a domestic bank (or a foreign branch or subsidiary thereof), or of a foreign bank, rated at the time of investment A-1 and A-2 by Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Prime-1 and

B-5


		Prime-2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”); (c) instruments secured by a bank obligation described in item 2(b); (d) commercial paper if rated A by S & P’s or Prime by Moody’s, or if not rated, issued by a company having an outstanding debt issue rated at least A by S & P’s or Moody’s (see Appendix A for an explanation of these ratings); and (e) repurchase agreements collateralized by the debt securities described above.


	3.	Issue any senior security, although the Fund may borrow as set forth under item 14 below.

	4.	Purchase or sell real estate; although the Fund may purchase securities issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts, which invest in real estate or interest therein.

	5.	Purchase securities on margin, make short sales of securities or maintain a short position.

	6.	Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, or invest in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs.

	7.	The Fund may not invest in securities issued by other investment companies except as part of a merger, reorganization or other acquisition and except to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.

	8.	Make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management, except that the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.

	9.	Lend its portfolio securities in excess of 10% of its total assets, both taken at market value provided that any loans shall be in accordance with the guidelines established for such loans by the trustees of the Fund as described under “Investment Objective, Investment Strategies and Risks — Loans of Portfolio Securities,” including the maintenance of collateral from the borrower equal at all times to the current market value of the securities loaned.


	10.	Invest in securities, except repurchase agreements, for which there are legal or contractual restrictions on resale, except that the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.

	11.	Underwrite securities of other issuers except that the Fund may sell an investment position even though it may be deemed an underwriter as that term is defined under the 1933 Act.

	12.	Invest in warrants, or write, purchase or sell puts, calls, straddles, spreads or combinations thereof.

	13.	Purchase or retain securities of any issuer if those officers and directors of the Fund or its investment adviser who own beneficially more than 0.50% of the securities of such issuer, together own more than 5% of the securities of such issuer.

	14.	Borrow money, except from banks for temporary or emergency purposes and then in amounts not exceeding 10% of the value of the Fund’s total net assets; or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate any assets except in connection with any such borrowing and in amounts not exceeding the lesser of the dollar amount borrowed or 5% of the value of the Fund’s assets at the time of such borrowing (the Fund will not borrow for leveraging or investment but only to meet redemption requests which might otherwise require undue dispositions of portfolio securities).

	15.	Lend money, except through the purchase or holding of the types of debt securities in which the Fund may invest.

B-6


	16.	With respect to 75% of its assets, purchase securities if the purchase would cause the Fund, at that time, to have more than 5% of the value of its total assets invested in the securities of any one issuer (except obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements fully collateralized thereby).

	17.	Invest in the securities of any issuer, if immediately thereafter, the Fund would own more than 10% of the total value of all outstanding securities of such issuer, except that the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.

	18.	Invest more than 5% of its assets in companies having a record together with predecessors, of less than three years continuous operation.

	19.	Invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in securities of issuers in any particular industry (except obligations of the U.S. government and of domestic branches of U.S. banks).

The latter part of certain of the Fund’s fundamental investment restrictions (i.e., the references to “as may otherwise be permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief applicable to the Fund from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time”) provide the Fund with flexibility to change its limitations in connection with changes in applicable law, rules, regulations or exemptive relief. The language used in these restrictions provides the necessary flexibility to allow the Fund’s Board to respond efficiently to these kinds of developments without the delay and expense of a shareholder meeting.

Non-Fundamental Policy

The Fund has adopted the following operating policy which may be amended by its Board of Trustees. The Fund shall not:

Invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of issuers in any one industry (except obligations of the U.S. government and of domestic branches of U.S. banks), except that the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by (i) the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, (ii) the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time, or (iii) an exemption or other relief from the provisions of the 1940 Act, as amended from time to time.

When market conditions dictate a more defensive investment strategy as described in the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund may deviate temporarily from fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies without a shareholder vote or without prior contemporaneous notification to shareholders during exigent situations.

Compensation

Each trustee/director/managing general partner (hereinafter referred to in this section as “trustee”) who is not an affiliated person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of Van Kampen Investments, the Adviser or the Distributor (each a “Non-Affiliated Trustee”) is compensated by an annual retainer and meeting fees for services to funds in the Fund Complex. Each fund in the Fund Complex (except Van Kampen Exchange Fund) provides a deferred compensation plan to its Non-Affiliated Trustees that allows such trustees to defer receipt of their compensation until retirement and earn a return on such deferred amounts. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund and earn a rate of return determined by reference to the return on the common shares of the Fund or other funds in the Fund Complex as selected by the respective Non-Affiliated Trustee. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest in securities of those funds selected by the Non-Affiliated Trustees in order to match the deferred compensation obligation. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Fund. Deferring compensation has the same economic effect as if the Non-Affiliated Trustee reinvested his or her compensation into the funds. Each fund in the Fund Complex (except Van Kampen Exchange Fund) provides a retirement plan to its Non-Affiliated Trustees that provides Non-Affiliated Trustees with compensation after retirement, provided that certain eligibility requirements are met. Under the retirement plan, a Non-Affiliated Trustee who is receiving compensation from the Fund prior to such Non-Affiliated Trustee’s retirement, has at least 10 years of service (including years of service prior to adoption of the retirement plan) and retires at or after attaining the age of 60, is eligible to receive a retirement benefit per year for each of the 10 years following such retirement from the Fund. Non-Affiliated Trustees retiring prior to the age of 60 or with fewer than 10 years but more than 5 years of service may receive reduced retirement benefits from the Fund.

Additional information regarding compensation and benefits for trustees is set forth below for the periods described in the notes accompanying the table.

Board Committees

The Board of Trustees has three standing committees (an audit committee, a brokerage and services committee and a governance committee). Each committee is comprised solely of “Independent Trustees” which is defined for purposes herein as trustees who: (1) are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined by the 1940 Act and (2) are “independent” of the Fund as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards.

The Board’s audit committee consists of Jerry D. Choate, Rod Dammeyer and R. Craig Kennedy. In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for audit committee members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The audit committee makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees concerning the selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with such independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of the Fund’s annual audit and considers any comments which the independent registered public accounting firm may have regarding the Fund’s financial statements, accounting records or internal controls. The Board of Trustees has adopted a formal written charter for the audit committee which sets forth the audit committee’s responsibilities. The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the financial statements of the Fund with management as well as with the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61. The audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required under Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence. Based on this review, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Trustees of the Fund that the Fund’s audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the most recent fiscal year for filing with the SEC.

The Board’s brokerage and services committee consists of Linda Hutton Heagy, Hugo F. Sonnenschein and Suzanne H. Woolsey. The brokerage and services committee reviews the Fund’s allocation of brokerage transactions and soft-dollar practices and reviews the transfer agency and shareholder servicing arrangements with Investor Services.

The Board’s governance committee consists of David C. Arch, Howard J Kerr and Jack E. Nelson. In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for nominating committee members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The governance committee

B-12

identifies individuals qualified to serve as Independent Trustees on the Board and on committees of the Board, advises the Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees, develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles applicable to the Fund, monitors corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board, and acts as the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures, committee policies and procedures and codes of ethics. The Independent Trustees of the Fund select and nominate any other nominee Independent Trustees for the Fund. While the Independent Trustees of the Fund expect to be able to continue to identify from their own resources an ample number of qualified candidates for the Board of Trustees as they deem appropriate, they will consider nominations from shareholders to the Board. Nominations from shareholders should be in writing and sent to the Independent Trustees as described below.

During the Fund’s last fiscal year, the Board of Trustees held 12 meetings. During the Fund’s last fiscal year, the audit committee of the Board held 4 meetings, the brokerage and services committee of the Board held 4 meetings and the governance committee of the Board held 5 meetings.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders may send communications to the Board of Trustees. Shareholders should send communications intended for the Board by addressing the communication directly to the Board (or individual Board members) and/or otherwise clearly indicating in the salutation that the communication is for the Board (or individual Board members) and by sending the communication to either the Fund’s office or directly to such Board member(s) at the address specified for such trustee above. Other shareholder communications received by the Fund not directly addressed and sent to the Board will be reviewed and generally responded to by management, and will be forwarded to the Board only at management’s discretion based on the matters contained therein.

Share Ownership

Excluding deferred compensation balances as described in the Compensation Table, as of December 31, 2008, the most recently completed calendar year prior to the date of this Statement of Additional Information, each trustee of the Fund beneficially owned equity securities of the Fund and all of the funds in the Fund Complex overseen by the trustee in the dollar range amounts specified below.

Code of Ethics

The Fund, the Adviser and the Distributor have adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that sets forth general and specific standards relating to the securities trading activities of their employees. The Code of Ethics does not prohibit employees from acquiring securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, but is intended to ensure that all employees conduct their personal transactions in a manner that does not interfere with the portfolio transactions of the Fund or other Van Kampen funds, or that such employees take unfair advantage of their relationship with the Fund. Among other things, the Code of Ethics prohibits certain types of transactions absent prior approval, imposes various trading restrictions (such as time periods during which personal transactions may or may not be made) and requires quarterly reporting of securities transactions and other reporting matters. All reportable securities transactions and other required reports are to be reviewed by appropriate personnel for compliance with the Code of Ethics. Additional restrictions apply to portfolio managers, traders, research analysts and others who may have access to nonpublic information about the trading activities of the Fund or other Van Kampen funds or who otherwise are involved in the investment advisory process. Exceptions to these and other provisions of the Code of Ethics may be granted in particular circumstances after review by appropriate personnel.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The Fund and the Adviser are parties to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund retains the Adviser to manage the investment of the Fund’s assets, including the placing of orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities. The Adviser obtains and evaluates economic, statistical and financial information to formulate strategy and implement the Fund’s investment objective. The Adviser also furnishes offices, necessary facilities and equipment, provides

B-14

administrative services to the Fund, renders periodic reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees and permits its officers and employees to serve without compensation as trustees or officers of the Fund if elected to such positions. The Fund, however, bears the costs of its day-to-day operations, including service fees, distribution fees, custodian fees, legal and independent registered public accounting firm fees, the costs of reports and proxies to shareholders, compensation of trustees of the Fund (other than those who are affiliated persons of the Adviser, Distributor or Van Kampen Investments) and all other ordinary business expenses not specifically assumed by the Adviser. The Advisory Agreement also provides that the Adviser shall not be liable to the Fund for any actions or omissions in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Advisory Agreement.

The Advisory Agreement also provides that, in the event the ordinary business expenses of the Fund for any fiscal year should exceed 1% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, the compensation due the Adviser will be reduced by the amount of such excess and that, if a reduction in and refund of the advisory fee is insufficient, the Adviser will pay the Fund monthly an amount sufficient to make up the deficiency, subject to readjustment during the year. Ordinary business expenses include the investment advisory fee and other operating costs paid by the Fund except (1) interest and taxes, (2) brokerage commissions, (3) certain litigation and indemnification expenses as described in the Advisory Agreement and (4) payments made by the Fund pursuant to the distribution plans.

Advisory Fees

The Adviser received the approximate advisory fees of	$	$	2,198,000	$	1,934,000

Litigation Involving the Adviser

The Adviser and one of the investment companies advised by the Adviser are named as defendants in a class action complaint generally alleging that the defendants breached their duties of care to long-term shareholders of the investment company by valuing portfolio securities at the closing prices of the foreign exchanges on which they trade without accounting for significant market information that became available after the close of the foreign exchanges but before calculation of net asset value. As a result, the complaint alleges, short-term traders were able to exploit stale pricing information to capture arbitrage profits that diluted the value of shares held by long-term investors. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, fees and costs. In October 2006, pursuant to an order of the United States Supreme Court finding a lack of appellate jurisdiction, the federal court of appeals vacated a prior order of the federal district court dismissing the case with prejudice, and remanded the case to the Illinois state court where it had been filed. In November 2006, defendants again removed the case to the federal district court based on intervening authority. In July 2007, the district court granted plaintiff’s motion to remand the case back to Illinois state court. The Illinois state court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint in May 2008. Defendants sought an interlocutory appeal of that ruling but agreed to continue this motion in light of a similar appeal pending in the Illinois appellate court. The circuit court has stayed discovery pending the outcome of that appeal. While defendants believe that they have meritorious defenses, the ultimate outcome of this matter is not presently determinable at this stage in the litigation.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Accounting Services Agreement

The Fund has entered into an accounting services agreement pursuant to which the Adviser provides accounting services to the Fund supplementary to those provided by the custodian. Such services are expected to enable the Fund to more closely monitor and maintain its accounts and records. The Fund pays all costs and expenses related to such services, including all salary and related benefits of accounting personnel, as well as the overhead and expenses of office space and the equipment necessary to render such services. The Fund

B-15

shares together with the other Van Kampen funds in the cost of providing such services with 25% of such costs shared proportionately based on the respective number of classes of securities issued per fund and the remaining 75% of such costs based proportionately on the respective net assets per fund.

Chief Compliance Officer Employment Agreement

The Fund has entered into an employment agreement with John Sullivan and Morgan Stanley pursuant to which Mr. Sullivan, an employee of Morgan Stanley, serves as Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund and other Van Kampen funds. The Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and his staff are responsible for administering the compliance policies and procedures of the Fund and other Van Kampen funds. The Fund reimburses Morgan Stanley for the costs and expenses of such services, including compensation and benefits, insurance, occupancy and equipment, information processing and communication, office services, conferences and travel, postage and shipping. The Fund shares together with the other Van Kampen funds in the cost of providing such services with 25% of such costs shared proportionately based on the respective number of classes of securities issued per fund and the remaining 75% of such costs based proportionately on the respective net assets per fund.

Fund Payments Pursuant to These Agreements


	Fiscal Year Ended May 31,
	2009	2008		2007

Pursuant to these agreements, Morgan Stanley or its affiliates have received from the Fund approximately	$	$	45,600	$	34,900

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE

The Distributor acts as the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares pursuant to a written agreement (the “Distribution and Service Agreement”). The Distributor has the exclusive right to distribute shares of the Fund through authorized dealers on a continuous basis. The Distributor’s obligation is an agency or “best efforts” arrangement under which the Distributor is required to take and pay for only such shares of the Fund as may be sold to the public. The Distributor is not obligated to sell any stated number of shares. The Distributor bears the cost of printing (but not typesetting) prospectuses used in connection with this offering and certain other costs including the cost of supplemental sales literature and advertising. The Distribution and Service Agreement is renewable from year to year if approved (a) (i) by the Fund’s Board of Trustees or (ii) by a vote of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities and (b) by a vote of a majority of trustees who are not parties to the Distribution and Service Agreement or interested persons of any party, by votes cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. The Distribution and Service Agreement provides that it will terminate if assigned, and that it may be terminated without penalty by either party on 90 days’ written notice.

With respect to sales of Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Fund, a commission or transaction fee generally will be paid by the Distributor at the time of purchase directly out of the Distributor’s assets (and not out of the Fund’s assets) to authorized dealers who initiate and are responsible for such purchases computed based on a percentage of the dollar value of such shares sold of 4.00% on Class B Shares and 1.00% on Class C Shares.

Proceeds from any contingent deferred sales charge and any distribution fees on Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Fund are paid to the Distributor and are used by the Distributor to defray its distribution related expenses in connection with the sale of the Fund’s shares, such as the payment to authorized dealers for selling such shares. With respect to Class C Shares, the authorized dealers generally receive from the Distributor ongoing distribution fees of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class C Shares annually commencing in the second year after purchase.

B-16

Shares. The Distribution Plan and the Service Plan sometimes are referred to herein as the “Plans.” The Plans provide that the Fund may spend a portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each such class of shares in connection with the distribution of the respective class of shares and in connection with the provision of ongoing services to shareholders of such class, respectively. The Distribution Plan and the Service Plan are being implemented through the Distribution and Service Agreement with the Distributor of each such class of the Fund’s shares, sub-agreements between the Distributor and members of FINRA who are acting as securities dealers and FINRA members or eligible non-members who are acting as brokers or agents and similar agreements between the Fund and financial intermediaries who are acting as brokers (collectively, “Selling Agreements”) that may provide for their customers or clients certain services or assistance, which may include, but not be limited to, processing purchase and redemption transactions, establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts regarding the Fund, and such other services as may be agreed to from time to time and as may be permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation. Brokers, dealers and financial intermediaries that have entered into sub-agreements with the Distributor and sell shares of the Fund are referred to herein as “financial intermediaries.”

Certain financial intermediaries may be prohibited under law from providing certain underwriting or distribution services. If a financial intermediary was prohibited from acting in any capacity or providing any of the described services, the Distributor would consider what action, if any, would be appropriate. The Distributor does not believe that termination of a relationship with a financial intermediary would result in any material adverse consequences to the Fund.

The Distributor must submit quarterly reports to the Fund’s Board of Trustees setting forth separately by class of shares all amounts paid under the Distribution Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made, together with such other information as from time to time is reasonably requested by the trustees. The Plans provide that they will continue in full force and effect from year to year so long as such continuance is specifically approved by a vote of the trustees, and also by a vote of the disinterested trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plans. Each of the Plans may not be amended to increase materially the amount to be spent for the services described therein with respect to any class of shares without approval by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of such class, and all material amendments to either of the Plans must be approved by the trustees and also by the disinterested trustees. Each of the Plans may be terminated with respect to any class of shares at any time by a vote of a majority of the disinterested trustees or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of such class.

For Class A Shares in any given year in which the Plans are in effect, the Plans generally provide for the Fund to pay the Distributor the lesser of (i) the amount of the Distributor’s actual expenses incurred during such year (the “actual net expenses”) or (ii) the distribution and service fees at the rates specified in the Prospectus (the “plan fees”). Therefore, to the extent the Distributor’s actual net expenses in a given year are less than the plan fees for such year, the Fund only pays the actual net expenses. Alternatively, to the extent the Distributor’s actual net expenses in a given year exceed the plan fees for such year, the Fund only pays the plan fees for such year. For Class A Shares, there is no carryover of any unreimbursed actual net expenses to succeeding years.

The Plans for Class B Shares and Class C Shares are similar to the Plans for Class A Shares, except that any actual net expenses which exceed plan fees for a given year are carried forward and are eligible for payment in future years by the Fund so long as the Plans remain in effect. Thus, for each of the Class B Shares and Class C Shares, in any given year in which the Plans are in effect, the Plans generally provide for the Fund to pay the Distributor the lesser of (i) the applicable amount of the Distributor’s actual net expenses incurred during such year for such class of shares plus any actual net expenses from prior years that are still unpaid by the Fund for such class of shares or (ii) the applicable plan fees for such class of shares. Except as may be mandated by applicable law, the Fund does not impose any limit with respect to the number of years into the future that such unreimbursed actual net expenses may be carried forward (on a Fund level basis). These unreimbursed actual net expenses may or may not be recovered through plan fees or contingent deferred sales charges in future years.

B-17

Because of fluctuations in net asset value, the plan fees with respect to a particular Class B Share or Class C Share may be greater or less than the amount of the initial commission (including carrying cost) paid by the Distributor with respect to such share. In such circumstances, a shareholder of a share may be deemed to incur expenses attributable to other shareholders of such class.

As of May 31, 2009, there were approximately $ and $ of unreimbursed distribution-related expenses with respect to Class B Shares and Class C Shares, respectively, representing approximately % and % of the Fund’s net assets attributable to Class B Shares and Class C Shares, respectively. If the Plans are terminated or not continued, the Fund would not be contractually obligated to pay the Distributor for any expenses not previously reimbursed by the Fund or recovered through contingent deferred sales charges.

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, the Fund’s aggregate expenses paid under the Plans for Class A Shares were $ or % of the Class A Shares’ average daily net assets. Such expenses were paid to reimburse the Distributor for payments made to financial intermediaries for distributing and servicing Class A Shareholders and for administering the Class A Share Plans. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, the Fund’s aggregate expenses paid under the Plans for Class B Shares were $ or % of the Class B Shares’ average daily net assets. Such expenses were paid to reimburse the Distributor for the following payments: $ for commissions and transaction fees paid to financial intermediaries in respect of sales of Class B Shares of the Fund and $ for fees paid to financial intermediaries for servicing Class B Shareholders and administering the Class B Share Plans. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, the Fund’s aggregate expenses paid under the Plans for Class C Shares were $ or % of the Class C Shares’ average daily net assets. Such expenses were paid to reimburse the Distributor for the following payments: $ for commissions and transaction fees paid to financial intermediaries in respect of sales of Class C Shares of the Fund and $ for fees paid to financial intermediaries for servicing Class C Shareholders and administering the Class C Share Plans.

In addition to reallowances or commissions described above, the Distributor may from time to time implement programs under which an authorized dealer’s sales force may be eligible to win nominal awards for certain sales efforts or under which the Distributor will reallow to any authorized dealer that sponsors sales contests or recognition programs conforming to criteria established by the Distributor, or participates in sales programs sponsored by the Distributor, an amount not exceeding the total applicable sales charges on the sales generated by the authorized dealer at the public offering price during such programs. Also, the Distributor in its discretion may from time to time, pursuant to objective criteria established by the Distributor, pay fees to, and sponsor business seminars for, qualifying authorized dealers for certain services or activities which are primarily intended to result in sales of shares of the Fund or other Van Kampen funds. Fees may include payment for travel expenses, including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by invited registered representatives for meetings or seminars of a business nature.

The Adviser and/or the Distributor may pay compensation, out of their own funds and not as an expense of the Fund, to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley Smith Barney”), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley & Co.”) and certain other authorized dealers in connection with the sale or retention of Fund shares and/or shareholder servicing. For example, the Adviser or the Distributor may pay additional compensation to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley & Co. and to other authorized dealers for the purpose of promoting the sale of Fund shares, providing the Fund and other Van Kampen funds with “shelf space” or a higher profile with the authorized dealer’s financial advisors and consultants, placing the Fund and other Van Kampen funds on the authorized dealer’s preferred or recommended fund list, granting the Distributor access to the authorized dealer’s financial advisors and consultants, providing assistance in training and educating the authorized dealer’s personnel, furnishing marketing support and other specified services, maintaining share balances and/or for sub-accounting, administrative or transaction processing services. Such payments are in addition to any distribution fees, service fees and/or transfer agency fees that may be payable by the Fund. The additional payments may be based on factors, including level of sales (based on gross or net sales or some specified minimum sales or some other similar criteria related to sales of the Fund and/or some or all other Van Kampen funds), amount of assets invested by the authorized dealer’s customers (which could include current or aged assets of the Fund and/or some or all other Van Kampen

B-18

funds), the Fund’s advisory fees, some other agreed upon amount, or other measures as determined from time to time by the Adviser and/or Distributor.

These payments currently include an amount up to 0.25% of the value (at the time of sale) of gross sales of Fund shares. You should review carefully any disclosure by your authorized dealer as to its compensation.

The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of, such compensation, as described above, by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley & Co. or other authorized dealers may provide Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley & Co. or other authorized dealers, and their representatives or employees, with an incentive to favor sales of shares of the Fund over other investment options with respect to which Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley & Co. or an authorized dealer does not receive additional compensation (or receives lower levels of additional compensation). These payment arrangements, however, will not change the price that an investor pays for shares of the Fund. Investors may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to Fund shares.

TRANSFER AGENT

The Fund’s transfer agent, shareholder service agent and dividend disbursing agent is Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund and are approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The transfer agency fees are based on competitive benchmarks.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE ALLOCATION

The Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund, the selection of brokers and dealers to effect the transactions and the negotiation of prices and any brokerage commissions on such transactions. While the Adviser will be primarily responsible for the placement of the Fund’s portfolio business, the policies and practices in this regard are subject to review by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

As most transactions made by the Fund are principal transactions at net prices, the Fund generally incurs little or no brokerage costs. The portfolio securities in which the Fund invests are normally purchased directly from the issuer or in the over-the-counter market from an underwriter or market maker for the securities. Purchases from underwriters of portfolio securities include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter and purchases from dealers serving as market makers include a spread or markup to the dealer between the bid and asked price. Sales to dealers are effected at bid prices. The Fund may also purchase certain money-market instruments directly from an issuer, in which case no commissions or discounts are paid, or may purchase and sell listed securities on an exchange, which are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services.

The Adviser is responsible for placing portfolio transactions and does so in a manner deemed fair and reasonable to the Fund and not according to any formula. The primary consideration in all portfolio transactions is prompt execution of orders in an effective manner at the most favorable price. In selecting broker-dealers and in negotiating prices and any brokerage commissions on such transactions, the Adviser considers the firm’s reliability, integrity and financial condition and the firm’s execution capability, the size and breadth of the market for the security, the size of and difficulty in executing the order, and the best net price. In selecting among firms, consideration may be given to those firms which supply research and other services in addition to execution services. The Adviser is authorized to pay higher commissions to brokerage firms that provide it with investment and research information than to firms which do not provide such services if the Adviser determines that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the overall services provided. In certain instances, the Adviser may instruct certain broker-dealers to pay for research services provided by executing brokers or third party research providers, which are selected independently by the Adviser. No specific value can be assigned to such research services which are furnished without cost to the Adviser. Since statistical and other research information is only supplementary to the research efforts of the Adviser to the Fund and still must be analyzed and reviewed by its staff, the receipt of research information is not expected to reduce its expenses materially. The investment advisory fee is not reduced as a result of the Adviser’s receipt of such research services. Services provided may include (a) furnishing advice as to the value

B-19

of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; (b) furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and the performance of accounts; and (c) effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance, settlement and custody). When a particular item (such as proxy services) has both research and non-research related uses, the Adviser will make a reasonable allocation of the cost of the item between the research and non-research uses and may pay for the portion of the cost allocated to research uses with commissions. Research services furnished by firms through which the Fund effects its securities transactions may be used by the Adviser in servicing all of its advisory accounts and/or accounts managed by its affiliates that are registered investment advisers; not all of such services may be used by the Adviser in connection with the Fund. To the extent that the Adviser receives these services from broker-dealers, it will not have to pay for these services itself.

The Adviser also may place portfolio transactions, to the extent permitted by law, with brokerage firms (and futures commission merchants) affiliated with the Fund, the Adviser or the Distributor and with brokerage firms participating in the distribution of the Fund’s shares if it reasonably believes that the quality of execution and the commission are comparable to that available from other qualified firms. Similarly, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the same considerations on quality of execution and comparable commission rates, the Adviser may direct an executing broker to pay a portion or all of any commissions, concessions or discounts to a firm supplying research or other services.

The Adviser may place portfolio transactions at or about the same time for other advisory accounts, including other investment companies. The Adviser seeks to allocate portfolio transactions equitably whenever concurrent decisions are made to purchase or sell securities for the Fund and another advisory account. In some cases, this procedure could have an adverse effect on the price or the amount of securities available to the Fund. In making such allocations among the Fund and other advisory accounts, the main factors considered by the Adviser are the respective sizes of the Fund and other advisory accounts, the respective investment objectives, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment, the size of investment commitments generally held and opinions of the persons responsible for recommending the investment.

Certain broker-dealers (and futures commission merchants), through which the Fund may effect securities (or futures) transactions, are affiliated persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or affiliated persons of such affiliates, including Morgan Stanley or its subsidiaries. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has adopted certain policies incorporating the standards of Rule 17e-1 issued by the SEC under the 1940 Act which require that the commissions paid to affiliates of the Fund must be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions, fees or other remuneration received or to be received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities or instruments during a comparable period of time. The rule and procedures also contain review requirements and require the Adviser to furnish reports to the trustees and to maintain records in connection with such reviews. After consideration of all factors deemed relevant, the trustees will consider from time to time whether the advisory fee for the Fund will be reduced by all or a portion of the brokerage commission paid to affiliated brokers.

During the past three fiscal years, the Fund paid no commissions to brokers on the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund offers a number of shareholder services designed to facilitate investment in its shares at little or no extra cost to the investor. Below is a description of such services. The following information supplements the section in the Fund’s Prospectus captioned “Shareholder Services.”

Investment Account

Each shareholder has an investment account under which the investor’s shares of the Fund are held by Investor Services, the Fund’s transfer agent. Investor Services performs bookkeeping, data processing and

B-20

administrative services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Except as described in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, after each share transaction in an account, the shareholder receives a statement showing the activity in the account. Each shareholder who has an account in any of the Van Kampen funds will receive statements quarterly from Investor Services showing any reinvestments of dividends and capital gain dividends and any other activity in the account since the preceding statement. Such shareholders also will receive separate confirmations for each purchase or sale transaction other than reinvestment of dividends and capital gain dividends and systematic purchases or redemptions. Additional shares may be purchased at any time through authorized dealers, by bank wire or by mailing a check and detailed instructions directly to Investor Services.

Share Certificates

Generally, the Fund will not issue share certificates. However, upon written or telephone request to the Fund, a share certificate will be issued representing shares (with the exception of fractional shares) of the Fund. A shareholder will be required to surrender such certificates upon an exchange or redemption of the shares represented by the certificate. In addition, if such certificates are lost the shareholder must write to Van Kampen Funds Inc., c/o Investor Services, PO Box 219286, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-9286, requesting an “Affidavit of Loss” and obtain a Surety Bond in a form acceptable to Investor Services. On the date the letter is received, Investor Services will calculate the fee for replacing the lost certificate equal to no more than 1.50% of the net asset value of the issued shares, and bill the party to whom the replacement certificate was mailed.

Retirement Plans

Eligible investors may establish individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”); SEP; SIMPLE IRAs; or other pension or profit sharing plans. Documents and forms containing detailed information regarding these plans are available from the Distributor.

Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Deposits

Shareholders can use ACH to have redemption proceeds up to $50,000 deposited electronically into their bank accounts. Redemption proceeds transferred to a bank account via the ACH plan are available to be credited to the account on the second business day following normal payment. To utilize this option, the shareholder’s bank must be a member of ACH. In addition, the shareholder must fill out the appropriate section of the account application form. The shareholder must also include a voided check or deposit slip from the bank account into which redemption proceeds are to be deposited together with the completed application. Once Investor Services has received the application and the voided check or deposit slip, such shareholder’s designated bank account, following any redemption, will be credited with the proceeds of such redemption. Once enrolled in the ACH plan, a shareholder may terminate participation at any time by writing Investor Services or by calling (800) 847-2424.

Dividend Diversification

A shareholder may elect, by completing the appropriate section of the account application form or by calling (800) 847-2424, to have all dividends and capital gain dividends paid on a class of shares of the Fund invested into shares of the same class of any of the Participating Funds (as defined in the Prospectus) so long as the investor has a pre-existing account for such class of shares of the other fund. Both accounts must be of the same type, either non-retirement or retirement. If the accounts are retirement accounts, they must both be for the same class and of the same type of retirement plan (e.g. IRA, 403(b)(7), 401(k), Money Purchase and Profit Sharing plans) and for the benefit of the same individual. If a qualified, pre-existing account does not exist, the shareholder must establish a new account subject to any requirements of the Participating Fund into which distributions will be invested. Distributions are invested into the selected Participating Fund, provided that shares of such Participating Fund are available for sale, at its net asset value per share as of the payable date of the distribution from the Fund.

B-21

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

A shareholder may establish a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual withdrawal plan if the shareholder owns shares in a single account valued at $5,000 or more at the next determined net asset value per share at the time the plan is established. This plan provides for the orderly use of the entire account, not only the income but also the capital, if necessary. Each payment represents the proceeds of a redemption of shares on which any capital gain or loss will be recognized. The plan holder may arrange for periodic checks in any amount, not less than $25. Such a systematic withdrawal plan may also be maintained by an investor purchasing shares for a retirement plan and may be established on a form made available by the Fund. See “Shareholder Services — Retirement Plans.”

Class B Shareholders and Class C Shareholders who establish a systematic withdrawal plan may redeem up to 12% annually of the shareholder’s initial account balance without incurring a contingent deferred sales charge. Initial account balance means the amount of the shareholder’s investment at the time the plan is established.

Under the plan, sufficient shares of the Fund are redeemed to provide the amount of the periodic withdrawal payment. Dividends and capital gain dividends on shares held in accounts with systematic withdrawal plans are reinvested in additional shares at the next determined net asset value per share. If periodic withdrawals continuously exceed reinvested dividends and capital gain dividends, the shareholder’s original investment will be correspondingly reduced and ultimately exhausted. Redemptions made concurrently with the purchase of additional shares ordinarily will be disadvantageous to the shareholder because of the duplication of sales charges. Any gain or loss realized by the shareholder upon redemption of shares is a taxable event. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the systematic withdrawal program upon 30 days’ notice to its shareholders.

Reinstatement Privilege

A Class A Shareholder or Class B Shareholder who has redeemed shares of the Fund may reinstate any portion or all of the net proceeds of such redemption (and may include that amount necessary to acquire a fractional share to round off his or her purchase to the next full share) in Class A Shares of any Participating Fund. A Class C Shareholder who has redeemed shares of the Fund may reinstate any portion or all of the net proceeds of such redemption (and may include that amount necessary to acquire a fractional share to round off his or her purchase to the next full share) in Class C Shares of any Participating Fund with credit given for any contingent deferred sales charge paid on the amount of shares reinstated from such redemption, provided that such shareholder has not previously exercised this reinstatement privilege with respect to Class C Shares of the Fund. Shares acquired in this manner will be deemed to have the original cost and purchase date of the redeemed shares for purposes of applying the contingent deferred sales charge (if any) to subsequent redemptions. Reinstatements are made at the net asset value per share (without a sales charge) next determined after the order is received, which must be made within 180 days after the date of the redemption, provided that shares of the Participating Fund into which shareholders desire to reinstate their net proceeds of a redemption of shares of the Fund are available for sale. Reinstatement at net asset value per share is also offered to participants in eligible retirement plans for repayment of principal (and interest) on their borrowings on such plans, provided that shares of the Participating Fund are available for sale.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

Redemptions are not made on days during which the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is closed. The right of redemption may be suspended and the payment therefor may be postponed for more than seven days during any period when (a) the Exchange is closed for other than customary weekends or holidays; (b) the SEC determines trading on the Exchange is restricted; (c) the SEC determines an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets; or (d) the SEC, by order, so permits.

In addition, if the Fund’s Board of Trustees determines that payment wholly or partly in cash would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Fund, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution-in-kind of portfolio securities held by the Fund in lieu of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the SEC. A distribution-in-kind may result in recognition by the shareholder of a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes when such securities are distributed, and the shareholder may have brokerage costs and a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes upon the shareholder’s disposition of such in-kind securities.

WAIVER OF CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES

As described in the Fund’s Prospectus under “Redemption of Shares,” redemptions of Class B Shares and Class C Shares will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC-Class B and C”). The CDSC-Class B and C is waived on redemptions in the circumstances described below:

Redemption Upon Death or Disability

The Fund will waive the CDSC-Class B and C on redemptions following the death or disability of a Class B Shareholder or a Class C Shareholder. An individual will be considered disabled for this purpose if he or she meets the definition thereof in Section 72(m)(7) of the Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which in pertinent part defines a person as disabled if such person “is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or to be of long-continued and indefinite duration.” While the Fund does not specifically adopt the balance of the Code’s definition which pertains to furnishing the Secretary of Treasury with such proof as he or she may require, the Distributor will require satisfactory proof of death or disability before it determines to waive the CDSC-Class B and C.

In cases of death or disability, the CDSC-Class B and C will be waived where the decedent or disabled person is either an individual shareholder or owns the shares as a joint tenant with right of survivorship or is the beneficial owner of a custodial or fiduciary account, and where the redemption is made within one year of the death or initial determination of disability. This waiver of the CDSC-Class B and C applies to a total or partial redemption, but only to redemptions of shares held at the time of the death or initial determination of disability.

Redemption in Connection with Certain Distributions from Retirement Plans

The Fund will waive the CDSC-Class B and C when a total or partial redemption is made in connection with certain distributions from retirement plans. The CDSC-Class B and C will be waived upon the tax-free rollover or transfer of assets to another retirement plan invested in one or more Participating Funds; in such event, as described below, the Fund will “tack” the period for which the original shares were held on to the holding period of the shares acquired in the transfer or rollover for purposes of determining what, if any, CDSC-Class B and C is applicable in the event that such acquired shares are redeemed following the transfer or rollover. The CDSC-Class B and C also will be waived on any redemption which results from the return of an excess contribution or other contribution pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 408(d)(4) or (5), the return of excess contributions or excess deferral amounts pursuant to Code Section 401(k)(8) or 402(g)(2) or the financial hardship of the employee pursuant to U.S. Treasury regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(2). In addition, the CDSC-Class B and C will be waived on any minimum distribution required to be distributed in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9).

The Fund does not intend to waive the CDSC-Class B and C for any distributions from IRAs or other retirement plans not specifically described above.

Redemption Pursuant to the Fund’s Systematic Withdrawal Plan

A shareholder may elect to participate in a systematic withdrawal plan with respect to the shareholder’s investment in the Fund. Under the systematic withdrawal plan, a dollar amount of a participating shareholder’s

B-23

investment in the Fund will be redeemed systematically by the Fund on a periodic basis, and the proceeds sent to the designated payee of record. The amount to be redeemed and frequency of the systematic withdrawals will be specified by the shareholder upon his or her election to participate in the systematic withdrawal plan.

The amount of the shareholder’s investment in the Fund at the time the plan is established with respect to the Fund is hereinafter referred to as the “initial account balance.” The amount to be systematically redeemed from the Fund without the imposition of a CDSC-Class B and C may not exceed a maximum of 12% annually of the shareholder’s initial account balance. The Fund reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the systematic withdrawal plan and the ability to offer the systematic withdrawal plan.

No Initial Commission or Transaction Fee

The Fund will waive the CDSC-Class B and C in circumstances under which no commission or transaction fee is paid to authorized dealers at the time of purchase. See “Purchase of Shares — Waiver of Contingent Deferred Sales Charge” in the Prospectus.

Involuntary Redemptions of Shares

The Fund reserves the right to redeem shareholder accounts with balances of less than a specified dollar amount as set forth in the Prospectus. Prior to such redemptions, shareholders will be notified in writing and allowed a specified period of time to purchase additional shares to bring the value of the account up to the required minimum balance. The Fund will waive the CDSC-Class B and C upon such involuntary redemption.

Redemption by Adviser

The Fund expects to waive the CDSC-Class B and C when a total or partial redemption is made by the Adviser with respect to its investments in the Fund.

TAXATION

The following discussion and the taxation discussion in the Prospectus are summaries of certain federal income tax considerations affecting the Fund and its shareholders. The discussions reflect applicable federal income tax laws of the United States as of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, which tax laws may be changed or subject to new interpretations by the courts or the Internal Revenue Service ( the “IRS”) retroactively or prospectively. These discussions assume that the Fund ’s shareholders hold their shares as capital assets for federal income tax purposes (generally, assets held for investment). No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of all federal income tax considerations affecting the Fund and its shareholders, and the discussions set forth herein and in the Prospectus do not constitute tax advice. No ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed herein. Counsel to the Fund has not rendered any legal opinion regarding any tax consequences relating to the Fund or its shareholders. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position different from any of the tax aspects set forth below. Shareholders must consult their own tax advisers regarding the federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Fund as well as state, local and foreign tax considerations and any proposed tax law changes.

Federal Income Taxation of the Fund

The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must comply with certain requirements of the Code relating to, among other things, the sources of its income and diversification of its assets.

If the Fund so qualifies and distributes each year to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (generally including ordinary income and net short-term capital gain, but not net capital gain, which is the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) and meets certain other requirements, it will not be required to pay federal income taxes on any income it distributes to

B-24

shareholders. The Fund intends to distribute at least the minimum amount necessary to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement. The Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on any net capital gain distributed to shareholders and designated as capital gain dividends.

To avoid a nondeductible 4% excise tax, the Fund will be required to distribute, by December 31st of each year, at least an amount equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for such year, (ii) 98% of its capital gain net income (the latter of which generally is computed on the basis of the one-year period ending on October 31st of such year), and (iii) any amounts that were not distributed in previous taxable years. For purposes of the excise tax, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by, and subject to U.S. federal income tax in the hands of, the Fund will be treated as having been distributed.

If the Fund failed to qualify as a regulated investment company or failed to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement in any taxable year, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation on its taxable income (even if such income were distributed to its shareholders) and all distributions out of earnings and profits would be taxed to shareholders as ordinary income. In addition, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay taxes and make distributions (which could be subject to interest charges) before requalifying for taxation as a regulated investment company.

Investments of the Fund in securities issued at a discount or providing for deferred interest or payment of interest in kind are subject to special tax rules that will affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders. For example, with respect to securities issued at a discount, the Fund generally will be required to accrue as income each year a portion of the discount and to distribute such income each year to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company and to avoid income and excise taxes. To generate sufficient cash to make distributions necessary to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement and to avoid income and excise taxes, the Fund may have to borrow money and/or dispose of securities that it would otherwise have continued to hold.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions of the Fund’s investment company taxable income are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits, whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares. Distributions of the Fund’s net capital gains designated as capital gain dividends, if any, are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains regardless of the length of time shares of the Fund have been held by such shareholders. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s earnings and profits will first reduce the adjusted tax basis of a shareholder’s shares and, after such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, will constitute capital gain to such shareholder.

Current law provides for reduced federal income tax rates on (1) long-term capital gains received by individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers and (2) “qualified dividend income” received by individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers from certain domestic and foreign corporations. The reduced rates for long-term capital gains and “qualified dividend income” cease to apply for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. Fund shareholders, as well as the Fund itself, must also satisfy certain holding period and other requirements in order for such reduced rates for “qualified dividend income” dividends to apply. Because the Fund intends to invest primarily in money-market securities, ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund generally will not be eligible for the reduced rate applicable to “qualified dividend income.” To the extent that distributions from the Fund are designated as capital gain dividends, such distributions will be eligible for the reduced rates applicable to long-term capital gains. For a summary of the maximum tax rates applicable to capital gains (including capital gain dividends), see “Capital Gains Rates” below.

Shareholders receiving distributions in the form of additional shares issued by the Fund will be treated for federal income tax purposes as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the distribution date. The tax basis of such shares will equal their fair market value on the distribution date.

B-25

The Fund will inform shareholders of the source and tax status of all distributions promptly after the close of each calendar year. Distributions from the Fund generally will not be eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction.

Although dividends generally will be treated as distributed when paid, dividends declared in October, November or December, payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such month and paid during January of the following year will be treated as having been distributed by the Fund and received by the shareholders on the December 31st prior to the date of payment. In addition, certain other distributions made after the close of a taxable year of the Fund may be “spilled back” and generally treated as paid by the Fund (except for purposes of the nondeductible 4% excise tax) during such taxable year. In such case, shareholders will be treated as having received such dividends in the taxable year in which the distribution was actually made.

Sale of Shares

The sale of shares in connection with a redemption or repurchase of shares, as well as certain other transfers, will be a taxable transaction for federal income tax purposes. Selling shareholders will generally recognize a capital gain or capital loss in an amount equal to the difference between their adjusted tax basis in the shares sold and the amount received. For a summary of the maximum tax rates applicable to capital gains, see “Capital Gains Rates” below. Any loss recognized upon a taxable disposition of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received with respect to such shares. For purposes of determining whether shares have been held for six months or less, the holding period is suspended for any periods during which the shareholder’s risk of loss is diminished as a result of holding one or more other positions in substantially similar or related property or through certain options or short sales.

Capital Gains Rates

The maximum tax rate applicable to short-term capital gains recognized by all taxpayers is 35%. Under current law, the maximum tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains recognized by individuals and certain other non-corporate taxpayers is 15% (20% for long-term capital gains recognized in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010). The maximum tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains recognized by corporate taxpayers is 35%.

Withholding on Payments to Non-U.S. Shareholders

For purposes of this and the following paragraphs, a “Non-U.S. Shareholder” shall include any shareholder who is not


	•	an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

	•	a corporation or partnership created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

	•	an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

	•	a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. fiduciaries who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate), rather than backup withholding (discussed below), on dividends from the Fund (other than capital gain dividends) that are not “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business carried on by such shareholder provided that the shareholder furnishes to the Fund a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN certifying the shareholder’s non-United States status.

Non-effectively connected capital gain dividends and gains realized from the sale of shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the case of (i) a Non-U.S. Shareholder that is a corporation and

B-26

(ii) an individual Non-U.S. Shareholder who is not present in the United States for more than 182 days during the taxable year (assuming that certain other conditions are met). However, certain Non-U.S. Shareholders may nonetheless be subject to backup withholding and information reporting on capital gain dividends and redemption proceeds paid to them upon the sale of their shares. See “Backup Withholding” and “Information Reporting” below.

If income from the Fund or gains realized from the sale of shares are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Shareholder’s U.S. trade or business, then such amounts will not be subject to the 30% withholding described above, but rather will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at the tax rates applicable to U.S. citizens and residents or domestic corporations. To establish that income from the Fund or gains realized from the sale of shares are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, a Non-U.S. Shareholder must provide the Fund with a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that such amounts are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Shareholder’s U.S. trade or business. Non-U.S. Shareholders that are corporations may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” with respect to income from the Fund that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.

The tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described in this section. To claim tax treaty benefits, Non-U.S. Shareholders will be required to provide the Fund with a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN certifying their entitlement to the benefits. In addition, in certain cases where payments are made to a Non-U.S. Shareholder that is a partnership or other pass-through entity, both the entity and the persons holding an interest in the entity will need to provide certification. For example, an individual Non-U.S. Shareholder who holds shares in the Fund through a non-U.S. partnership must provide an IRS Form W-8BEN to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty. Non-U.S. Shareholders are advised to consult their advisers with respect to the tax implications of purchasing, holding and disposing of shares of the Fund.

Backup Withholding

The Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 28% (through 2010, when a higher rate will be applicable) (“backup withholding”) from dividends and redemption proceeds paid to non-corporate shareholders. This tax may be withheld from dividends paid to a shareholder (other than a Non-U.S. Shareholder that properly certifies its non-United States status) if (i) the shareholder fails to properly furnish the Fund with its correct taxpayer identification number, (ii) the IRS notifies the Fund that the shareholder has failed to properly report certain interest and dividend income to the IRS and to respond to notices to that effect or (iii) when required to do so, the shareholder fails to certify that the taxpayer identification number provided is correct, that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding and that the shareholder is a person (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Redemption proceeds may be subject to backup withholding under the circumstances described in (i) above.

Generally, dividends paid to Non-U.S. Shareholders that are subject to the 30% federal income tax withholding described above under “Withholding on Payments to Non-U.S. Shareholders” are not subject to backup withholding. To avoid backup withholding on capital gain dividends and redemption proceeds from the sale of shares, Non-U.S. Shareholders must provide a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN certifying their non-United States status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from payments made to a shareholder may be refunded or credited against such shareholder’s federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Information Reporting

The Fund must report annually to the IRS and to each shareholder (other than a Non-U.S. Shareholder that properly certifies its non-United States status) the amount of dividends, capital gain dividends and redemption proceeds paid to such shareholder and the amount, if any, of tax withheld pursuant to backup withholding rules with respect to such amounts. In the case of a Non-U.S. Shareholder, the Fund must report to the IRS and such shareholder the amount of dividends, capital gain dividends and redemption proceeds paid

B-27

that are subject to withholding (including backup withholding, if any) and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to such amounts. This information may also be made available to the tax authorities in the Non-U.S. Shareholder’s country of residence.

YIELD INFORMATION

From time to time, the Fund may advertise its “yield” and “effective yield” for prior periods.

Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The “yield” of the Fund refers to the income generated by an investment in the Fund over a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then “annualized.” That is, the amount of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The “effective yield” is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be reinvested. The “effective yield” will be slightly higher than the “yield” because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.

The yield of the Fund is its net income expressed in annualized terms. The SEC requires by rule that a yield quotation set forth in an advertisement for a “money market” fund be computed by a standardized method based on a historical seven-calendar-day period. The standardized yield is computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation) in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period, dividing the net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and multiplying the base period return by 365/7. The determination of net change in account value reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the original share, dividends declared on both the original share and such additional shares, and all fees that are charged to all shareholder accounts, in proportion to the length of the base period and the Fund’s average account size. The Fund may also calculate its effective yield by compounding the unannualized base period return (calculated as described above) by adding 1 to the base period return, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting one.

Yield and effective yield are calculated separately for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Because of the differences in distribution fees, the yield and effective yield for each class of shares will differ.

The yield and effective yield quoted at any time represents the amount being earned on a current basis for the indicated period and is a function of the types of instruments in the Fund, their quality and length of maturity, and the Fund’s operating expenses. The length of maturity for the Fund is the average dollar-weighted maturity of the Fund. This means that the Fund has an average maturity of a stated number of days for all of its issues. The calculation is weighted by the relative value of the investment.

The yield and effective yield fluctuate daily as the income earned on the investments of the Fund fluctuates. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the yield and effective yield quoted on any given occasion will remain in effect for any period of time. It should also be emphasized that there is no guarantee that the net asset value will remain constant. A shareholder’s investment in the Fund is not insured. Investors comparing results of the Fund with investment results and yields from other sources such as banks or savings and loan associations should understand this distinction.

Other funds of the money market type as well as banks and savings and loan associations may calculate their yield on a different basis, and the yield quoted by the Fund could vary upwards or downwards if another method of calculation or base period were used.

Additionally, since yield and effective yield fluctuate, yield data cannot necessarily be used to compare an investment in the Fund’s shares with bank deposits, savings accounts and similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. Shareholders should remember that yield and effective yield are generally a function of the kind and quality of the instrument held in a fund’s portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses and market conditions.

B-28

From time to time, the Fund’s marketing materials may include an update from the portfolio managers or the Adviser and a discussion of general economic conditions and outlooks. The Fund’s marketing materials may also show the Fund’s asset class diversification, top sector holdings and largest holdings. Materials may also mention how the Distributor believes the Fund compares relative to other Van Kampen funds. The Fund may also be marketed on the internet.

In reports or other communications to shareholders or in advertising material, the Fund may compare its performance with that of other mutual funds as listed in the rankings or ratings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., CDA, Morningstar Mutual Funds or similar independent services which monitor the performance of mutual funds with the Consumer Price Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Standard & Poor’s indices, NASDAQ Composite Index, other appropriate indices of investment securities, or with investment or savings vehicles. The performance information may also include evaluations of the Fund published by nationally recognized ranking or rating services and by nationally recognized financial publications. Such comparative performance information will be stated in the same terms in which the comparative data or indices are stated. Such advertisements and sales material may also include a yield quotation as of a current period. Such yield information, if any, will be calculated pursuant to rules established by the SEC and will be computed separately for each class of the Fund’s shares. For these purposes, the performance of the Fund, as well as the performance of other mutual funds or indices, do not reflect sales charges, the inclusion of which would reduce the Fund’s performance. The Fund will include performance data for each class of shares of the Fund in any advertisement or information including performance data of the Fund.

The Fund may also utilize performance information in hypothetical illustrations. For example, the Fund may, from time to time: (1) illustrate the benefits of tax-deferral by comparing taxable investments to investments made through tax-deferred retirement plans; (2) illustrate in graph or chart form, or otherwise, the benefits of dollar-cost averaging by comparing investments made pursuant to a systematic investment plan to investments made in a rising market; (3) illustrate allocations among different types of mutual funds for investors at different stages of their lives; and (4) in reports or other communications to shareholders or in advertising material, illustrate the benefits of compounding at various assumed yields.

The Fund’s Annual Report and Semiannual Report contain additional performance information. A copy of the Annual Report or Semiannual Report may be obtained without charge from our web site at www.vankampen.com or by calling or writing the Fund at the telephone number or address printed on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information.

OTHER INFORMATION

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

The Fund’s Board of Trustees and the Adviser have adopted policies and procedures regarding disclosure of portfolio holdings information (the “Policy”). Pursuant to the Policy, information concerning the Fund’s portfolio holdings may be disclosed only if such disclosure is consistent with the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws and the fiduciary duties owed by the Fund and the Adviser to the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund and the Adviser may not receive compensation or any other consideration (which includes any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Adviser or any affiliated person of the Adviser) in connection with the disclosure of portfolio holdings information of the Fund. The Fund’s Policy is implemented and overseen by the Portfolio Holdings Review Committee (the “PHRC”), which is described in more detail below.

Public Portfolio Holdings Information Disclosure Policy. Portfolio holdings information will be deemed public when it has been posted to the Fund’s public web site. On its public web site, the Fund currently makes available:


	•	Calendar Quarters: Complete portfolio holdings at least 30 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter.

B-29

The Fund provides a complete schedule of portfolio holdings for the second and fourth fiscal quarters in its Semiannual and Annual Reports, and for the first and third fiscal quarters in its filings with the SEC on Form N-Q.

Non-Public Portfolio Holdings Information Policy. All portfolio holdings information that has not been disseminated in a manner making it available to investors generally as described above is considered non-public portfolio holdings information for the purposes of the Policy. Pursuant to the Policy, disclosing non-public portfolio holdings information to third parties may occur only when the Fund has a legitimate business purpose for doing so and the recipients of such information are subject to a duty of confidentiality and unless otherwise specified below, are required to enter into a non-disclosure agreement, both of which prohibits such recipients from disclosing or trading on the basis of the non-public portfolio holdings information. Any disclosure of non-public portfolio holdings information made to third parties must be approved by both the Fund’s Board of Trustees (or a designated committee thereof) and the PHRC. The Policy provides for disclosure of non-public portfolio holdings information to certain pre-authorized categories of entities, executing broker-dealers and shareholders, in each case under specific restrictions and limitations described below, and the Policy provides a process for approving any other entities.

Pre-Authorized Categories. Pursuant to the Policy, the Fund may disclose non-public portfolio holdings information to certain third parties who fall within pre-authorized categories. These third parties include fund rating agencies, information exchange subscribers, consultants and analysts, portfolio analytics providers, and service providers, provided that the third party expressly agrees to maintain the non-public portfolio holdings information in confidence and not to trade portfolio securities based on the non-public portfolio holdings information. Subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement between the Adviser or the Fund and the third party, if these conditions for disclosure are satisfied, there shall be no restriction on the frequency with which Fund non-public portfolio holdings information is released, and no lag period shall apply. In addition, persons who owe a duty of trust or confidence to the Fund or the Adviser (including legal counsel) may receive non-public portfolio holdings information without entering into a non-disclosure agreement. The PHRC is responsible for monitoring and reporting on such entities to the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Procedures to monitor the use of such non-public portfolio holdings information may include requiring annual certifications that the recipients have utilized such information only pursuant to the terms of the agreement between the recipient and the Adviser and, for those recipients receiving information electronically, acceptance of the information will constitute reaffirmation that the third party expressly agrees to maintain the disclosed information in confidence and not to trade portfolio securities based on the material non-public portfolio holdings information.

Broker-Dealer Interest Lists. Pursuant to the Policy, the Adviser may provide “interest lists” to broker-dealers who execute securities transactions for the Fund. Interest lists may specify only the CUSIP numbers and/or ticker symbols of the securities held in all registered management investment companies advised by the Adviser or affiliates of the Adviser on an aggregate basis. Interest lists will not disclose portfolio holdings on a fund by fund basis and will not contain information about the number or value of shares owned by a specified fund. The interest lists may identify the investment strategy to which the list relates, but will not identify particular funds or portfolio managers/management teams. Broker-dealers need not execute a non-disclosure agreement to receive interest lists.

Shareholders In-Kind Distributions. The Fund’s shareholders may, in some circumstances, elect to redeem their shares of the Fund in exchange for their pro rata share of the securities held by the Fund. In such circumstances, pursuant to the Policy, such Fund shareholders may receive a complete listing of the portfolio holdings of the Fund up to seven (7) calendar days prior to making the redemption request provided that they represent orally or in writing that they agree not to disclose or trade on the basis of the portfolio holdings information.

Attribution Analyses. Pursuant to the Policy, the Fund may discuss or otherwise disclose performance attribution analyses (i.e., mention the effects of having a particular security in the portfolio(s)) where such discussion is not contemporaneously made public, provided that the particular holding has been disclosed

B-30

publicly. Any discussion of the analyses may not be more current than the date the holding was disclosed publicly.

Transition Managers. Pursuant to the Policy, the Fund may disclose, portfolio holdings to transition managers, provided that the Fund has entered into a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement with the party requesting that the information be provided to the transition manager, which prohibits any recipients of information from disclosing or trading on the basis of the non-public portfolio holdings information, and the party to the non-disclosure agreement has, in turn, entered into a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement with the transition manager, which also prohibits any recipients of information from disclosing or trading on the basis of the non-public portfolio holdings information.

Other Entities. Pursuant to the Policy, the Fund or the Adviser may disclose non-public portfolio holdings information to a third party who does not fall within the pre-approved categories, and who are not executing broker-dealers, shareholders receiving in-kind distributions, persons receiving attribution analyses, or transition managers; however, prior to the receipt of any non-public portfolio holdings information by such third party, the recipient must have entered into a non-disclosure agreement, which prohibits any recipients of information from disclosing or trading on the basis of the non-public portfolio holdings information, and the disclosure arrangement must have been approved by the PHRC and the Fund’s Board of Trustees (or a designated committee thereof). The PHRC will report to the Board of Trustees of the Fund on a quarterly basis regarding any other approved recipients of non-public portfolio holdings information.

PHRC and Board of Trustees Oversight. The PHRC, which consists of executive officers of the Fund and the Adviser, is responsible for overseeing and implementing the Policy and determining how portfolio holdings information will be disclosed on an ongoing basis. The PHRC will periodically review and has the authority to amend the Policy as necessary. The PHRC will meet at least quarterly to (among other matters):


	•	address any outstanding issues relating to the Policy;

	•	monitor the use of information and compliance with non-disclosure agreements by current recipients of portfolio holdings information;

	•	review non-disclosure agreements that have been executed with prospective third parties and determine whether the third parties will receive portfolio holdings information;

	•	generally review the procedures to ensure that disclosure of portfolio holdings information is in the best interests of Fund shareholders; and

	•	monitor potential conflicts of interest between Fund shareholders, on the one hand, and those of the Adviser, the Distributor or affiliated persons of the Fund, the Adviser or the Distributor, on the other hand, regarding disclosure of portfolio holdings information.

The PHRC will regularly report to the Board of Trustees on the Fund’s disclosure of portfolio holdings information and the proceedings of PHRC meetings.

Ongoing Arrangements of Portfolio Holdings Information. The Adviser and/or the Fund have entered into ongoing arrangements to make available public and/or non-public information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings. The Fund currently may disclose portfolio holdings information based on ongoing arrangements to the following pre-authorized parties:

APPENDIX A

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS

Below is a description of the two highest rating categories for short-term debt obligations and long-term debt obligations by the “nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.” The ratings descriptions are based on information supplied by the ratings organizations to subscribers.

Short-Term Debt Ratings

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”): Moody’s short-term ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor short-term financial obligations. Ratings may be assigned to issuers, short-term programs or to individual short-term debt instruments. Such obligations generally have an original maturity not exceeding thirteen months, unless explicitly noted.

Moody’s employs the following designations to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:


P-1		Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-2		Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-3		Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.
NP		Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.
Note:		Canadian issuers rated P-1 or P-2 have their short-term ratings enhanced by the senior-most long-term rating of the issuer, its guarantor or support-provider.
		There are three rating categories for short-term municipal obligations that are considered investment grade. These ratings are designated as Municipal Investment Grade (MIG) and are divided into three levels — MIG 1 through MIG 3. In addition, those short-term obligations that are of speculative quality are designated SG, or speculative grade. MIG ratings expire at the maturity of the obligation.
MIG 1		This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2		This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
MIG 3		This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
SG		This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

Demand Obligation Ratings

		In the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned; a long or short-term debt rating and a demand obligation rating. The first element represents Moody’s evaluation of the degree of risk associated with scheduled principal and interest payments. The second element represents Moody’s evaluation of the degree of risk associated with the ability to receive purchase price upon demand (“demand feature”), using a variation of the MIG rating scale, the Variable Municipal Investment Grade or VMIG rating.
		When either the long- or short-term aspect of a VRDO is not rated, that piece is designated NR, e.g., Aaa/NR or NR/VMIG 1.

A-1


		VMIG rating expirations are a function of each issue’s specific structural or credit features.
VMIG 1		This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
VMIG 2		This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
VMIG 3		This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
SG		This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have an investment grade short-term rating or may lack the structural and/or legal protections necessary to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.

Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”): The following ratings by S&P for commercial paper (defined by S&P as debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days) assess the likelihood of payment:


A-1:		A short-term obligation rated “A-1” is rated in the highest category by Standard & Poor’s. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.
A-2:		A short-term obligation rated “A-2” is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3:		A short-term obligation rated “A-3” exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

The following ratings by S&P for state and municipal notes assess the likelihood of payment:


SP-1:		Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.
SP-2:		Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
SP-3:		Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch Ratings Ltd. Fitch’s short-term debt credit ratings are applied to the spectrum of corporate, structured, and public finance. They cover sovereign (including supranational and subnational), financial, bank, insurance, and other corporate entities and the securities they issue, as well as municipal and other public finance entities, and securities backed by receivables or other financial assets, and counterparties. When applied to an entity, these short-term ratings assess its general creditworthiness on a senior basis. When applied to specific issues and programs, these ratings take into account the relative preferential position of the holder of the security and reflect the terms, conditions, and covenants attaching to that security.

The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 13 months for most obligations, or up to three years for US public finance, in line with industry standards, to reflect unique risk characteristics of bond, tax and revenue anticipation notes that

A-2

are commonly issued with terms up to three years. Short-term ratings thus place greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet the financial commitments in a timely manner.

International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign or local currency commitments. Both foreign and local currency ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating measures the probability of payment only within the sovereign state’s currency and jurisdiction.


F1:		Highest credit quality. Indicates the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.
F2:		Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
F3:		Fair credit quality. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate; however, near term adverse changes could result in a reduction to noninvestment grade.

Notes: ‘‘+” or “−” may be appended to an “F1” rating class to denote relative status within the rating category.

Long-Term Debt Ratings

These ratings are relevant for securities purchased by the Fund with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less, or for rating issuers of short-term obligations. Bonds (including municipal bonds) are rated as follows:

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.:


Aaa:		Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.
Aa:		Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
A:		Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium-grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

Standard & Poor’s:


AAA:		An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.
AA:		An obligation rated ‘AA’ differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.
A:		An obligation rated ‘A’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

A-3

Fitch Ratings Ltd.


AAA:		Highest credit quality. “AAA” ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in case of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA:		Very high credit quality. “AA” ratings denote expectations of very low credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
A:		High credit quality. “A” ratings denote expectations of low credit risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB:		Good credit quality. “BBB” ratings indicate that there is currently expectations of low credit risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate but adverse changes in circumstances and economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment grade category.

A-4

APPENDIX B — MORGAN STANLEY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES


I.	POLICY STATEMENT

Introduction — Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s (“MSIM”) policy and procedures for voting proxies (“Policy”) with respect to securities held in the accounts of clients applies to those MSIM entities that provide discretionary investment management services and for which a MSIM entity has authority to vote proxies. This Policy is reviewed and updated as necessary to address new and evolving proxy voting issues and standards.

The MSIM entities covered by this Policy currently include the following: Morgan Stanley Investment Advisors Inc., Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company, Morgan Stanley Asset & Investment Trust Management Co., Limited, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Private Limited, Van Kampen Asset Management, and Van Kampen Advisors Inc. (each an “MSIM Affiliate” and collectively referred to as the “MSIM Affiliates” or as “we” below).

Each MSIM Affiliate will use its best efforts to vote proxies as part of its authority to manage, acquire and dispose of account assets. With respect to the MSIM registered management investment companies (Van Kampen, Institutional and Advisor Funds — collectively referred to herein as the “MSIM Funds”), each MSIM Affiliate will vote proxies under this Policy pursuant to authority granted under its applicable investment advisory agreement or, in the absence of such authority, as authorized by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the MSIM Funds. An MSIM Affiliate will not vote proxies if the “named fiduciary” for an ERIS account has reserved the authority for itself, or in the case of an account not governed by ERISA, the investment management or investment advisory agreement does not authorize the MSIM Affiliate to vote proxies. MSIM Affiliates will vote proxies in a prudent and diligent manner and in the best interests of clients, including beneficiaries of and participants in a client’s benefit plan(s) for which the MSIM Affiliates manage assets, consistent with the objective of maximizing long-term investment returns (“Client Proxy Standard”). In certain situations, a client or its fiduciary may provide an MSIM Affiliate with a proxy voting policy. In these situations, the MSIM Affiliate will comply with the client’s policy.

Proxy Research Services — Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis (together with other proxy research providers as we may retain from time to time, the “Research Providers”) are independent advisers that specialize in providing a variety of fiduciary-level proxy-related services to institutional investment managers, plan sponsors, custodians, consultants, and other institutional investors. The services provided include in-depth research, global issuer analysis, and voting recommendations. While we may review and utilize the recommendations of the Research Providers in making proxy voting decisions, we are in no way obligated to follow such recommendations. In addition to research, ISS provides vote execution, reporting, and recordkeeping.

Voting Proxies for Certain Non-U.S. Companies — Voting proxies of companies located in some jurisdictions, particularly emerging markets, may involve several problems that can restrict or prevent the ability to vote such proxies or entail significant costs. These problems include, but are not limited to: (i) proxy statements and ballots being written in a language other than English; (ii) untimely and/or inadequate notice of shareholder meetings; (iii) restrictions on the ability of holders outside the issuer’s jurisdiction of organization to exercise votes; (iv) requirements to vote proxies in person; (v) the imposition of restrictions on the sale of the securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting; and (vi) requirements to provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate our voting instructions. As a result, we vote clients’ non-U.S. proxies on a best efforts basis only, after weighing the costs and benefits of voting such proxies, consistent with the Client Proxy Standard. ISS has been retained to provide assistance in connection with voting non-U.S. proxies.


II.	GENERAL PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

To promote consistency in voting proxies on behalf of its clients, we follow this Policy (subject to any exception set forth herein), including the guidelines set forth below. These guidelines address a broad range of

B-1

issues, and provide general voting parameters on proposals that arise most frequently. However, details of specific proposals vary, and those details affect particular voting decisions, as do factors specific to a given company. Pursuant to the procedures set forth herein, we may vote in a manner that is not in accordance with the following general guidelines, provided the vote is approved by the Proxy Review Committee and is consistent with the Client Proxy Standard. Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP will follow the procedures as described in Appendix A.

We endeavor to integrate governance and proxy voting policy with investment goals and to follow the Client Proxy Standard for each client. At times, this may result in split votes, for example when different clients have varying economic interests in the outcome of a particular voting matter (such as a case in which varied ownership interests in two companies involved in a merger result in different stakes in the outcome). We also may split votes at times based on differing views of portfolio managers, but such a split vote must be approved by the Proxy Review Committee.

A. Routine Matters. We generally support routine management proposals. The following are examples of routine management proposals:


	•	Approval of financial statements and auditor reports.

	•	General updating/corrective amendments to the charter.

	•	Most proposals related to the conduct of the annual meeting, with the following exceptions. We may oppose proposals that relate to “the transaction of such other business which may come before the meeting,” and open-ended requests for adjournment. However, where management specifically states the reason for requesting an adjournment and the requested adjournment is necessary to permit a proposal that would otherwise be supported under this Policy to be carried out (i.e. an uncontested corporate transaction), the adjournment request will be supported. Finally, we generally support shareholder proposals advocating confidential voting procedures and independent tabulation of voting results.


B.	Board of Directors


	1.	Election of directors: In the absence of a proxy contest, we generally support the board’s nominees for director except as follows:


	a.	We withhold or vote against interested directors if the company’s board does not meet market standards for director independence, or if otherwise we believe board independence is insufficient. We refer to prevalent market standards, generally as promulgated by a stock exchange or other authority within a given market (e.g., New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq rules for most U.S. companies, and The Combined Code on Corporate Governance in the United Kingdom). Thus, for a NYSE company with dispersed ownership, we would expect that at a minimum a majority of directors should be independent as defined by NYSE. Non-independent directors under NYSE standards include an employee or an individual with an immediate family member who is an executive (or in either case was in such position within the previous three years). A director’s consulting arrangements with the company, or material business relationships between the director’s employer and the company, also impair independence. Market standards notwithstanding, we generally do not view long board tenure alone as a basis to classify a director as non-independent. Where we view market standards as inadequate, we may withhold votes based on stronger independence standards.


	b.	Depending on market standards, we consider withholding support from or voting against a nominee who is interested and who is standing for election as a member of the company’s compensation, nominating or audit committees.


	c.	We consider withholding support or voting against a nominee if we believe a direct conflict exists between the interests of the nominee and the public shareholders. This includes consideration for withholding support or voting against individual board members or an

B-2


		entire slate if we believe the board is entrenched and dealing inadequately with performance problems, and/or with insufficient independence between the board and management.


	d.	We consider withholding support from or voting against a nominee standing for election if the board has not taken action to implement generally accepted governance practices for which there is a “bright line” test. In the context of the U.S. market, these would include elimination of dead hand or slow hand poison pills, requiring audit, compensation or nominating committees to be composed of independent directors and requiring a majority independent board.


	e.	We generally withhold support from or vote against a nominee who has failed to attend at least 75% of board meetings within a given year without a reasonable excuse.

	f.	We consider withholding support from or voting against a nominee who serves on the board of directors of more than six companies (excluding investment companies). We also consider voting against a director who otherwise appears to have too many commitments to serve adequately on the board of the company.


	2.	Board independence: We generally support proposals requiring that a certain percentage (up to 662/3%) of the company’s board members be independent directors, and promoting all-independent audit, compensation and nominating/governance committees.

	3.	Board diversity: We consider on a case-by-case basis proposals urging diversity of board membership with respect to social, religious or ethnic group.

	4.	Majority voting: We generally support proposals requesting or requiring majority voting policies in election of directors, so long as there is a carve-out for plurality voting in the case of contested elections.

	5.	Proposals to elect all directors annually: We generally support proposals to elect all directors annually at public companies (to “declassify” the Board of Directors) where such action is supported by the board, and otherwise consider the issue on a case-by-case basis.

	6.	Cumulative voting: We generally support proposals to eliminate cumulative voting (which provides that shareholders may concentrate their votes for one or a handful of candidates, a system that can enable a minority bloc to place representation on a board). Proposals to establish cumulative voting in the election of directors generally will not be supported.

	7.	Separation of Chairman and CEO positions: We vote on shareholder proposals to separate the Chairman and CEO positions and/or to appoint a non-executive Chairman based in part on prevailing practice in particular markets, since the context for such a practice varies. In many non-U.S. markets, we view separation of the roles as a market standard practice, and support division of the roles in that context.

	8.	Director retirement age: Proposals recommending set director retirement ages are voted on a case-by-case basis.

	9.	Proposals to limit directors’ liability and/or broaden indemnification of directors. Generally, we will support such proposals provided that the officers and directors are eligible for indemnification and liability protection if they have acted in good faith on company business and were found innocent of any civil or criminal charges for duties performed on behalf of the company.

C. Corporate transactions and proxy fights. We examine proposals relating to mergers, acquisitions and other special corporate transactions (i.e., takeovers, spin-offs, sales of assets, reorganizations, restructurings and recapitalizations) on a case-by-case basis. However, proposals for mergers or other significant transactions that are friendly and approved by the Research Providers generally will be supported and in those instances will not need to be reviewed by the Proxy Review Committee, where there is no portfolio manager objection and where there is no material conflict of interest. We also analyze proxy contests on a case-by-case basis.

B-3

D. Changes in legal and capital structure. We generally vote in favor of management proposals for technical and administrative changes to a company’s charter, articles of association or bylaws. We review non-routine proposals, including reincorporation to a different jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.


	1.	We generally support the following:


	•	Proposals that eliminate other classes of stock and/or eliminate unequal voting rights.

	•	Proposals to increase the authorization of existing classes of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) if: (i) a clear and legitimate business purpose is stated; (ii) the number of shares requested is reasonable in relation to the purpose for which authorization is requested; and (iii) the authorization does not exceed 100% of shares currently authorized and at least 30% of the new authorization will be outstanding.

	•	Proposals to create a new class of preferred stock or for issuances of preferred stock up to 50% of issued capital.

	•	Proposals to authorize share repurchase plans.

	•	Proposals to reduce the number of authorized shares of common or preferred stock, or to eliminate classes of preferred stock.

	•	Proposals to effect stock splits.

	•	Proposals to effect reverse stock splits if management proportionately reduces the authorized share amount set forth in the corporate charter. Reverse stock splits that do not adjust proportionately to the authorized share amount generally will be approved if the resulting increase in authorized shares coincides with the proxy guidelines set forth above for common stock increases.

	•	Proposals for higher dividend payouts.


	3.	We generally oppose the following (notwithstanding management support):


	•	Proposals that add classes of stock that would substantially dilute the voting interests of existing shareholders.

	•	Proposals to increase the authorized number of shares of existing classes of stock that carry preemptive rights or supervoting rights.

	•	Proposals to create “blank check” preferred stock.

	•	Proposals relating to changes in capitalization by 100% or more.


E.	Takeover Defenses and Shareholder Rights


	1.	Shareholder rights plans: We support proposals to require shareholder approval or ratification of shareholder rights plans (poison pills).


	2.	Supermajority voting requirements: We generally oppose requirements for supermajority votes to amend the charter or bylaws, unless the provisions protect minority shareholders where there is a large shareholder. In line with this view, in the absence of a large shareholder we support reasonable shareholder proposals to limit such supermajority voting requirements.


	3.	Shareholder rights to call meetings: We consider proposals to enhance shareholder rights to call meetings on a case-by-case basis.


	4.	Anti-greenmail provisions: Proposals relating to the adoption of anti-greenmail provisions will be supported, provided that the proposal: (i) defines greenmail; (ii) prohibits buyback offers to large block holders (holders of at least 1% of the outstanding shares and in certain cases, a greater amount, as determined by the Proxy Review Committee) not made to all shareholders or not approved by disinterested shareholders; and (iii) contains no anti-takeover measures or other provisions restricting the rights of shareholders.

B-4

F. Auditors. We generally support management proposals for selection or ratification of independent auditors. However, we may consider opposing such proposals with reference to incumbent audit firms if the company has suffered from serious accounting irregularities, or if fees paid to the auditor for non-audit-related services are excessive. Generally, to determine if non-audit fees are excessive, a 50% test will be applied (i.e., non-audit-related fees should be less than 50% of the total fees paid to the auditor). Proposals requiring auditors to attend the annual meeting of shareholders will be supported. We generally vote against proposals to indemnify auditors.


G.	Executive and Director Remuneration.


	1.	We generally support the following proposals:


	•	Proposals relating to director fees, provided the amounts are not excessive relative to other companies in the country or industry.

	•	Proposals for employee stock purchase plans that permit discounts up to 15%, but only for grants that are part of a broad-based employee plan, including all non-executive employees.


	•	Proposals for employee equity compensation plans and other employee ownership plans, provided that our research does not indicate that approval of the plan would be against shareholder interest. Such approval may be against shareholder interest if it authorizes excessive dilution and shareholder cost, particularly in the context of high usage (“run rate”) of equity compensation in the recent past; or if there are objectionable plan design and provisions.


	•	Proposals for the establishment of employee retirement and severance plans, provided that our research does not indicate that approval of the plan would be against shareholder interest.


	2.	Blanket proposals requiring shareholder approval of all severance agreements will not be supported, but proposals that require shareholder approval for agreements in excess of three times the annual compensation (salary and bonus) generally will be supported.

	3.	Proposals advocating stronger and/or particular pay-for-performance models will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with consideration of the merits of the individual proposal within the context of the particular company and its current and past practices.

	4.	Proposals to U.S. companies that request disclosure of executive compensation in addition to the disclosure required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations generally will not be supported.

	5.	We generally support proposals advocating reasonable senior executive and director stock ownership guidelines and holding requirements for shares gained in option exercises.

	6.	Management proposals effectively to re-price stock options are considered on a case-by-case basis. Considerations include the company’s reasons and justifications for a re-pricing, the company’s competitive position, whether senior executives and outside directors are excluded, potential cost to shareholders, whether the re-pricing or share exchange is on a value-for-value basis, and whether vesting requirements are extended.

H. Social, Political and Environmental Issues. We consider proposals relating to social, political and environmental issues on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they will have a financial impact on shareholder value. However, we generally vote against proposals requesting reports that are duplicative, related to matters not material to the business, or that would impose unnecessary or excessive costs. We may abstain from voting on proposals that do not have a readily determinable financial impact on shareholder value. We generally oppose proposals requiring adherence to workplace standards that are not required or customary in market(s) to which the proposals relate.

I. Fund of Funds. Certain Funds advised by an MSIM Affiliate invest only in other MSIM Funds. If an underlying fund has a shareholder meeting, in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest, such proposals

B-5

will be voted in the same proportion as the votes of the other shareholders of the underlying fund, unless otherwise determined by the Proxy Review Committee.

III. ADMINISTRATION OF POLICY

The MSIM Proxy Review Committee (the “Committee”) has overall responsibility for creating and implementing the Policy, working with an MSIM staff group (the “Corporate Governance Team”). The Committee, which is appointed by MSIM’s Chief Investment Officer of Global Equities (“CIO”), consists of senior investment professionals who represent the different investment disciplines and geographic locations of the firm. Because proxy voting is an investment responsibility and impacts shareholder value, and because of their knowledge of companies and markets, portfolio managers and other members of investment staff play a key role in proxy voting, although the Committee has final authority over proxy votes.

The Committee Chairperson is the head of the Corporate Governance Team, and is responsible for identifying issues that require Committee deliberation or ratification. The Corporate Governance Team, working with advice of investment teams and the Committee, is responsible for voting on routine items and on matters that can be addressed in line with these Policy guidelines. The Corporate Governance Team has responsibility for voting case-by-case where guidelines and precedent provide adequate guidance, and to refer other case-by-case decisions to the Proxy Review Committee.

The Committee will periodically review and have the authority to amend, as necessary, the Policy and establish and direct voting positions consistent with the Client Proxy Standard.


A.	Committee Procedures

The Committee will meet at least monthly to (among other matters) address any outstanding issues relating to the Policy or its implementation. The Corporate Governance Team will timely communicate to ISS MSIM’s Policy (and any amendments and/or any additional guidelines or procedures the Committee may adopt).

The Committee will meet on an ad hoc basis to (among other matters): (1) authorize “split voting” (i.e., allowing certain shares of the same issuer that are the subject of the same proxy solicitation and held by one or more MSIM portfolios to be voted differently than other shares) and/or “override voting” (i.e., voting all MSIM portfolio shares in a manner contrary to the Policy); (2) review and approve upcoming votes, as appropriate, for matters for which specific direction has been provided in this Policy; and (3) determine how to vote matters for which specific direction has not been provided in this Policy.

Members of the Committee may take into account Research Providers’ recommendations and research as well as any other relevant information they may request or receive, including portfolio manager and/or analyst research, as applicable. Generally, proxies related to securities held in accounts that are managed pursuant to quantitative, index or index-like strategies (“Index Strategies”) will be voted in the same manner as those held in actively managed accounts, unless economic interests of the accounts differ. Because accounts managed using Index Strategies are passively managed accounts, research from portfolio managers and/or analysts related to securities held in these accounts may not be available. If the affected securities are held only in accounts that are managed pursuant to Index Strategies, and the proxy relates to a matter that is not described in this Policy, the Committee will consider all available information from the Research Providers, and to the extent that the holdings are significant, from the portfolio managers and/or analysts.


B.	Material Conflicts of Interest

In addition to the procedures discussed above, if the Committee determines that an issue raises a material conflict of interest, the Committee will request a special committee to review, and recommend a course of action with respect to, the conflict(s) in question (“Special Committee”).

The Special Committee shall be comprised of the Chairperson of the Proxy Review Committee, the Chief Compliance Officer or his/her designee, a senior portfolio manager (if practicable, one who is a member of the Proxy Review Committee) designated by the Proxy Review Committee, and MSIM’s relevant Chief Investment

B-6

Officer or his/her designee, and any other persons deemed necessary by the Chairperson. The Special Committee may request the assistance of MSIM’s General Counsel or his/her designee who will have sole discretion to cast a vote. In addition to the research provided by Research Providers, the Special Committee may request analysis from MSIM Affiliate investment professionals and outside sources to the extent it deems appropriate.


C.	Identification of Material Conflicts of Interest

A potential material conflict of interest could exist in the following situations, among others:


	1.	The issuer soliciting the vote is a client of MSIM or an affiliate of MSIM and the vote is on a material matter affecting the issuer.

	2.	The proxy relates to Morgan Stanley common stock or any other security issued by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates except if echo voting is used, as with MSIM Funds, as described herein.

	3.	Morgan Stanley has a material pecuniary interest in the matter submitted for a vote (e.g., acting as a financial advisor to a party to a merger or acquisition for which Morgan Stanley will be paid a success fee if completed).

If the Chairperson of the Committee determines that an issue raises a potential material conflict of interest, depending on the facts and circumstances, the Chairperson will address the issue as follows:


	1.	If the matter relates to a topic that is discussed in this Policy, the proposal will be voted as per the Policy.

	2.	If the matter is not discussed in this Policy or the Policy indicates that the issue is to be decided case-by-case, the proposal will be voted in a manner consistent with the Research Providers, provided that all the Research Providers have the same recommendation, no portfolio manager objects to that vote, and the vote is consistent with MSIM’s Client Proxy Standard.

	3.	If the Research Providers’ recommendations differ, the Chairperson will refer the matter to the Committee to vote on the proposal. If the Committee determines that an issue raises a material conflict of interest, the Committee will request a Special Committee to review and recommend a course of action, as described above. Notwithstanding the above, the Chairperson of the Committee may request a Special Committee to review a matter at any time as he/she deems necessary to resolve a conflict.


D.	Proxy Voting Reporting

The Committee and the Special Committee, or their designee(s), will document in writing all of their decisions and actions, which documentation will be maintained by the Committee and the Special Committee, or their designee(s), for a period of at least 6 years. To the extent these decisions relate to a security held by a MSIM Fund, the Committee and Special Committee, or their designee(s), will report their decisions to each applicable Board of Trustees/Directors of those Funds at each Board’s next regularly scheduled Board meeting. The report will contain information concerning decisions made by the Committee and Special Committee during the most recently ended calendar quarter immediately preceding the Board meeting.

The Corporate Governance Team will timely communicate to applicable portfolio managers and to ISS, decisions of the Committee and Special Committee so that, among other things, ISS will vote proxies consistent with their decisions.

MSIM will promptly provide a copy of this Policy to any client requesting it. MSIM will also, upon client request, promptly provide a report indicating how each proxy was voted with respect to securities held in that client’s account.

MSIM’s Legal Department is responsible for filing an annual Form N-PX on behalf of each MSIM Fund for which such filing is required, indicating how all proxies were voted with respect to such Fund’s holdings.

B-7

APPENDIX A

The following procedures apply to accounts managed by Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP (“AIP”).

Generally, AIP will follow the guidelines set forth in Section II of MSIM’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures. To the extent that such guidelines do not provide specific direction, or AIP determines that consistent with the Client Proxy Standard, the guidelines should not be followed, the Proxy Review Committee has delegated the voting authority to vote securities held by accounts managed by AIP to the Liquid Markets investment team and the Private Markets investment team of AIP. A summary of decisions made by the investment teams will be made available to the Proxy Review Committee for its information at the next scheduled meeting of the Proxy Review Committee.

In certain cases, AIP may determine to abstain from determining (or recommending) how a proxy should be voted (and therefore abstain from voting such proxy or recommending how such proxy should be voted), such as where the expected cost of giving due consideration to the proxy does not justify the potential benefits to the affected account(s) that might result from adopting or rejecting (as the case may be) the measure in question.

Waiver of Voting Rights

For regulatory reasons, AIP may either 1) invest in a class of securities of an underlying fund (the “Fund”) that does not provide for voting rights; or 2) waive 100% of its voting rights with respect to the following:


	1.	Any rights with respect to the removal or replacement of a director, general partner, managing member or other person acting in a similar capacity for or on behalf of the Fund (each individually a “Designated Person,” and collectively, the “Designated Persons”), which may include, but are not limited to, voting on the election or removal of a Designated Person in the event of such Designated Person’s death, disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, incapacity, or other event requiring a vote of interest holders of the Fund to remove or replace a Designated Person; and

	2.	Any rights in connection with a determination to renew, dissolve, liquidate, or otherwise terminate or continue the Fund, which may include, but are not limited to, voting on the renewal, dissolution, liquidation, termination or continuance of the Fund upon the occurrence of an event described in the Fund’s organizational documents; provided, however, that, if the Fund’s organizational documents require the consent of the Fund’s general partner or manager, as the case may be, for any such termination or continuation of the Fund to be effective, then AIP may exercise its voting rights with respect to such matter.

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant.

See the Statement of Additional Information.

Item 25. Indemnification.

Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. Title 12 Section 3817, a Delaware business trust may provide in its governing instrument for the indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever.

Reference is made to Article 8, Section 8.4 of the Registrant’s First Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, (the “Agreement and Declaration of Trust”). Article 8, Section 8.4 of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that each officer and trustee of the Registrant shall be indemnified by the Registrant against all liabilities incurred in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, in which the officer or trustee may be or may have been involved by reason of being or having been an officer or trustee, except that such indemnity shall not protect any such person against a liability to the Registrant or any shareholder thereof to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of (i) not acting in good faith in the reasonable belief that such person’s actions were not in the best interests of the Trust, (ii) willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office, or (iii) for a criminal proceeding not having a reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful (collectively “Disabling Conduct”). Absent a court determination that an officer or trustee seeking indemnification was not liable on the merits or guilty of Disabling Conduct in the conduct of his or her office, the decision by the Registrant to indemnify such person must be based upon the reasonable determination of independent counsel or non-party independent trustees, after review of the facts, that such officer or trustee is not guilty of Disabling Conduct in the conduct of his or her office.

The Registrant has purchased insurance on behalf of its officers and trustees protecting such persons from liability arising from their activities as officers or trustees of the Registrant. The insurance does not protect or purport to protect such persons from liability to the Registrant or to its shareholders to which such officers or trustee would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of their office.

Conditional advancing of indemnification monies may be made if the trustee or officer undertakes to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that he or she is entitled to the indemnification and only if the following conditions are met: (1) the trustee or officer provides a security for the undertaking; (2) the Registrant is insured against losses arising from lawful advances; or (3) a majority of a quorum of the Registrant’s disinterested, non-party trustees, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based upon a review of readily available facts, that a recipient of the advance ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

C-2

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by the trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to Section 7 of the Distribution and Service Agreement, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”) and each of its trustees and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the Registration Statement, prospectus, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Registrant (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. The Registrant does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Registrant by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Registrant in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Fund or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (“Investor Services”) is appointed transfer agent of the Fund, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold Investor Services harmless against any losses, damages, costs, charges, payments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) arising out of or attributable to:

(1) the performance of Investor Services under the agreement provided that Investor Services acted in good faith with due diligence and without negligence or willful misconduct.

(2) reliance by Investor Services on, or reasonable use by, Investor Services of information, records and documents which have been prepared on behalf of, or have been furnished by, the Fund, or the carrying out by Investor Services of any instructions or requests of the Fund.

(3) the offer or sale of the Fund’s shares in violation of any federal or state law or regulation or ruling by any federal agency unless such violation results from any failure by Investor Services to comply with written instructions from the Fund that such offers or sales were not permitted under such law, rule or regulation.

(4) the refusal of the Fund to comply with terms of the agreement, or the Fund’s lack of good faith, negligence or willful misconduct or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Fund under the agreement provided that if the reason for such failure is attributable to any action of the Fund’s investment adviser or distributor or any person providing accounting or legal services to the Fund, Investor Services only will be entitled to indemnification if such entity is otherwise entitled to the indemnification from the Fund.

See also “Investment Advisory Agreement” in the Statement of Additional Information.

Item 26. Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser.

See “Investment Advisory Services” in the Prospectus and “Investment Advisory Agreement,” “Other Agreements” and “Trustees and Officers” in the Statement of Additional Information for information regarding the business of Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”).

Item 27. Principal Underwriters.


	(a)	The sole principal underwriter is Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”) which acts as principal underwriter for certain investment companies and unit investment trusts. See Exhibit (z)(1).

	(b)	The Distributor, which is an affiliated person of the Registrant, is the only principal underwriter for the Registrant. The name, principal business address and positions and offices with Van Kampen Funds Inc. of each of the trustees and officers are disclosed in Exhibit (z)(2). Except as disclosed under the heading, “Trustees and Officers” in Part B of this Registration Statement, none of such persons has any position or office with the Registrant.

	(c)	Not applicable.

Item 28. Location of Accounts and Records.

All accounts, books and other documents of the Registrant required by Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder to be maintained (i) by the Registrant will be maintained at its offices located at 1 Parkview Plaza, PO Box 5555, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois 60181-5555; Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., Harborside Financial Center, Plaza 2, Jersey City, NJ 07303-0947; or at State Street Bank and Trust Company, 1776 Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, (ii) by the Adviser, will be maintained at its offices located at 1 Parkview Plaza, PO Box 5555, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois 60181-5555 and (iii) by Van Kampen Funds Inc., the principal underwriter, will be maintained at its offices located at 1 Parkview Plaza, PO Box 5555, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois 60181-5555.
