The Fund’s semi-annual report transmitted to shareholders pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is as follows:

Welcome, Shareholder

In this report, you’ll learn about how your investment in Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund performed during the semiannual period. The portfolio management team will provide an overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the factors that affected investment performance during the reporting period. In addition, this report includes the fund’s financial statements and a list of fund investments as of January 31, 2009.

Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass. There is no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objective. The fund is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the fund will decline and that the value of the fund shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this fund. Please see the prospectus for more complete information on investment risks.

An investment in senior loans is subject to certain risks such as loan defaults and illiquidity due to insufficient collateral backing.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial advisor. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the fund’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the fund at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. Total return assumes an investment at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions for the period in accordance with the fund’s dividend reinvestment plan, and sale of all shares at the end of the period. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Fund Report

For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009

Market Conditions

The six-month period under review was an unprecedented period in the history of the financial markets. Following the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in early September and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers shortly thereafter, the credit crisis reached new heights as investor confidence plummeted and the credit markets seized. A massive flight to quality ensued as investors shunned risky assets in favor of the relative safety of U.S. Treasury securities. As a result, all other sectors of the market experienced significant price deterioration, a trend that largely continued throughout the end of the year. Concerns about the economy exacerbated the market sell-off as various economic indicators continued to weaken, further undermining investor confidence. In December 2008, it was confirmed that the economy was in recession, and had in fact been since the prior December.

The government took substantial steps by implementing various fiscal and monetary policies designed to be supportive, yet by the end of January 2009, their efforts had done little to calm the markets or boost the economy. With unemployment still on the rise and consumer spending and home prices declining further, the outlook for the rest of the year appeared negative. It is possible, however, that further government intervention to stabilize the financial industry and stem home foreclosures could ultimately help stimulate the economy.

The senior loan market suffered in the risk-averse environment as loan demand declined and funds began selling loans in preparation for year-end redemptions. Funds also sold as part of the process of reducing leverage in order to remain in compliance with leverage regulations. As a result, the fourth quarter of 2008 was the worst quarter on record for the senior loan asset class, with loan values declining by 25.1 percent (as measured by the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index), far surpassing the third-quarter decline of 8.6 percent. For calendar year 2008, senior loans were down 34.6 percent.

As of year-end, the technical demand/supply picture had begun to improve. Funds appeared to be through with most of their forced selling and buyers began to emerge, which helped to stabilize loan prices. In January 2009, the loan market rallied strongly, posting a record one-month gain of 5.2 percent. Nonetheless, the market remained volatile at month-end and credit fundamentals were still deteriorating. Additionally, default rates reached 5 percent and most market observers expect this trend to continue. Given the senior secured nature of loans, however, we still find current yields compelling.

Performance Analysis

The Fund’s return can be calculated based upon either the market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding, while market price reflects the supply and demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ, as they did during the reporting period. For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund returned −35.90 percent on a market price basis and −42.51 percent on an NAV basis.

Total return for the six-month period ended January 31, 2009

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate and Fund shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See Performance Summary for additional performance information.

Over the course of the period we positioned the portfolio defensively, generally avoiding sectors or industries that we believed were vulnerable to cyclical economic downturns. For example, the Fund remained underweighted in the auto, airline and retail industries because of their susceptibility to the weakening economy. As of the end of the reporting period, approximately 44 percent of the Fund’s assets were invested internationally, primarily in Europe, and continued to be managed by Van Kampen’s subadviser, Avenue Capital. This exposure to non-dollar assets was entirely hedged into U.S. dollars, effectively eliminating currency risk in the portfolio.

The Fund used a modest amount of leverage during the period in an effort to enhance the portfolio’s yield. This involves borrowing at a floating short-term rate and reinvesting the proceeds at a higher rate. Unlike other fixed-income asset classes, using leverage in conjunction with senior loans does not involve the same degree of risk from rising short-term interest rates since the income from senior loans, assuming no defaults, adjusts to changes in interest rates, as do the rates which determine the Fund’s borrowing costs. (Similarly, should short-term rates fall, borrowing costs would also decline.) While we believe the use of leverage adds value for shareholders over a full cycle, it has been a drag on performance in the short term. Because, in our view, the recent market volatility has been driven as much by technical factors as by changes in underlying fundamentals, we have not materially altered the use of leverage in the Fund as we believe it is difficult to “time” technical events in the market. Therefore, portfolio composition continues to be driven by fundamental credit research. As of the end of the period, the Fund’s largest sector weightings were packaging, publishing, gaming and cable.

3

Although it has been a difficult period, we believe it has created attractive investment opportunities. We believe the value in the senior loan market remains compelling and because we are able to dynamically adjust the portfolio investment mix to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, we believe we can deliver competitive returns to our investors over the economic cycle.

The Fund’s procedure for reinvesting all dividends and distributions in common shares is through purchases in the open market. This method helps support the market value of the Fund’s shares. In addition, we would like to remind you that the Trustees have approved a procedure whereby the Fund may, when appropriate, purchase shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or net asset value, whichever is lower at the time of purchase.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future.

(a)	Payment-in-kind security.
(b)	All or a portion of this security is designated in connection with unfunded loan commitments.
(c)	Market value is determined in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
(d)	This Senior Loan interest is non-income producing.
(e)	The borrower is in the process of restructuring or amending the terms of this loan.
(f)	This borrower has filed for protection in federal bankruptcy court.
(g)	Affiliated Company.
(h)	144A-Private Placement security which is exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This security may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration which are normally those transactions with qualified institutional buyers.
(i)	Variable rate security. Interest rate shown is that in effect at January 31, 2009.
(j)	Restricted security. Securities were acquired through the restructuring of senior loans. These securities are restricted, as they are not allowed to be deposited via the Depository Trust Company. If at a later point in time, the company wishes to register, the issuer will bear the costs associated with registration. The aggregate value of restricted securities represents less than 0.01% of the net assets of the Fund.
*	Senior Loans in the Fund’s portfolio generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic

incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of Senior Loans in the Fund’s portfolio may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held in the Fund’s portfolio may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. Although the Fund is unable to accurately estimate the actual remaining maturity of individual Senior Loans, the Fund estimates that the actual average maturity of the Senior Loans held in its portfolio will be approximately 18-24 months.

**

Senior Loans in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates, which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks or (iii) the certificate of deposit rate. Senior Loans are generally considered to be restricted in that the Fund ordinarily is contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior Loan.

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund

Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated March 15, 2007. The Fund is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by opportunistically investing primarily in credit securities of issuers which operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions located throughout the world. The Fund will invest in a combination of (i) senior secured floating rate and fixed rate loans; (ii) second lien or other subordinated or unsecured floating rate loans or debt; (iii) other debt obligations, including high yield, high risk obligations; and (iv) structured products including collateralized debt and loan obligations. The Fund intends to borrow money for investment purposes which will create the opportunity for enhanced return, but also should be considered a speculative technique and may increase the Fund’s volatility.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Security Valuation The Fund’s loans and debt obligations are valued by the Fund following valuation guidelines established and periodically reviewed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under the valuation guidelines, loans and debt obligations for which reliable market quotes are readily available are valued at the mean of such bid and ask quotes. Where reliable market quotes are not readily available, loans and debt obligations are valued, where possible, using independent market indicators provided by independent pricing sources approved by the Board of Trustees. Other loans and debt obligations are valued by independent pricing sources approved by the Board of Trustees based upon pricing models developed, maintained and operated by those pricing sources or valued by Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) by considering a number of factors including consideration of market indicators, transactions in instruments which the Adviser believes may be comparable (including comparable credit quality, interest rate, interest rate redetermination period and maturity), the credit worthiness of the Borrower, the current interest rate, the period until next interest rate redetermination and the maturity of such loan. Consideration of comparable instruments may include commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit and short-term variable rate securities which have adjustment periods comparable to the loans in the Fund’s portfolio. The fair value of loans are reviewed and approved by the Fund’s Valuation Committee and the Board of Trustees. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued using quoted foreign exchange rates. Credit default swaps are valued using market quotations obtained from brokers.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Short-term loan participations are valued at cost in the absence of any indication of impairment.

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)  continued

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), effective August 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. FAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1—	quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2—	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3—	significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

	Investments in
	Loans and		Other Financial
Valuation Inputs	Securities		Instruments*			Liabilities
Level 1—Quoted Prices	$	-0-	$	-0-		$	-0-
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs		845,321,927		(61,931,979	)		(9,494,444	)
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs		31,630,917		-0-			(67,762	)
Total	$	876,952,844	$	(61,931,979	)	$	(9,562,206	)

* Other financial instruments include forwards and swap contracts.

Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

Net change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation from Investments still held as of January 31, 2009	$	(16,485,223	)

B. Security Transactions Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Legal expenditures that are expected to result in the restructuring of or a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as realized losses. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At January 31, 2009, the Fund had no when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term investments in which the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future time and specified price. Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying debt security. The Fund will make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the custodian bank. The seller is required to maintain the value of the underlying security at not less than the repurchase proceeds due the Fund.

C. Investment Income Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Facility fees received are treated as market discounts. Market premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted over the stated life of each applicable loan or other debt obligation. Other income is comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when received. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for agreeing to changes in loan agreements.

D. Federal Income Taxes It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for

34

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)  continued

Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the two year period ended July 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At July 31, 2008, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $431,578 which will expire according to the following schedule:

Amount		Expiration
$	431,578		July 31, 2016

At January 31, 2009, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:

Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	1,496,172,265
Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	23,984,843
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(643,204,264	)
Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments	$	(619,219,421	)

E. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund intends to declare and pay monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually to its shareholders. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2008 and the period from June 26, 2007 (Commencement of Operations) to July 31, 2007, was as follows:

	2008		2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	115,987,675	$	-0-

As of July 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $ 441,291

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of gains resulting from wash sale transactions and gains and losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.

35

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)  continued

F. Foreign Currency Translation and Foreign Investments The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to attempt to protect securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign currency exchange rates. A currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translation.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities resulting from changes in exchange rates are not segregated for financial reporting purposes from amounts arising from the changes in market prices of securities. Realized gain and loss on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations includes the net realized amount from the sale of foreign currency and the amount realized between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions. Income and expenses are translated at rates prevailing when accrued. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Risks may also arise from the unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will provide certain day-to-day investment management services to the Fund for an annual fee of 1.25% of the average daily managed assets. Average daily managed assets are defined as the average daily total asset value of the Fund minus the sum of accrued liabilities other than the aggregate amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Adviser has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Avenue Europe International Management, L.P. (the “Subadviser”). Under the subadvisory agreement, the Adviser retains the Subadviser to manage that portion of the Fund’s assets that are allocated to the Subadviser. The Adviser will pay the Subadviser an annual fee, payable monthly, in an amount equal to 1.25% of the portion of the managed assets of the Fund managed by the Subadviser.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $137,000 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Fund is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Fund.

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Fund. The costs of these services are allocated to each fund. For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $84,800 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Fund as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting

36

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)  continued

and CCO Employment agreements are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Fund provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its Trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, Trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable for a ten-year period and are based upon each Trustee’s years of service to the Fund. The maximum annual benefit per Trustee under the plan is $2,500.

At January 31, 2009, Van Kampen Investments Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, owned 5,236 shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.

During the period, the Fund owned shares of the following affiliated companies. Affiliated companies are defined by the 1940 Act as those companies in which a Fund holds 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities.

3. Capital Transactions

The Board of Trustees have approved a share repurchase program whereby the Fund may, when appropriate, repurchase its shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or NAV, whichever is lower at the time of purchase.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009 there was no activity in capital transactions.

The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share. The Fund had no operations until June 26, 2007, other than matters relating to its organization and registration and sale and issuance to Van Kampen Investments Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, of 5,236 shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. The Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, will incur all of the Fund’s organizational cost, estimated at $10,000. The Adviser also has agreed to pay the amount by which the offering costs of the Fund (other than the sales load) exceed $0.04 per share of the Fund’s common shares. On June 26, 2007, the Fund sold 71,000,000 common shares in an initial public offering. Proceeds to the Fund were $1,355,500,000 after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated $600,000 of offering expenses. On July 23, 2007 the Fund sold 3,000,000 common shares, pursuant to an over allotment agreement with the underwriters for net proceeds of $57,300,000 after deducting underwriting commissions. For the year ended

37

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)  continued

July 31, 2008, the Fund incurred additional costs of $252,820 from the 2007 initial public offering.

4. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from investments sold and repaid, excluding short-term investments, were $152,327,519 and $437,800,966, respectively.

5. Commitments

Pursuant to the terms of certain loan agreements, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments of approximately $30,400,000 as of January 31, 2009. The Fund intends to reserve against such contingent obligations by designating cash, liquid securities and liquid loans as a reserve. The unrealized depreciation on these commitments of $9,562,206 as of January 31, 2009 and is reported as “Unfunded Commitments” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6. Borrowings

The Fund may utilize financial leverage to the maximum extent allowable under the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a Fund generally may not borrow money greater than 331/3% of the Fund’s total assets.

The Fund had entered into a $750 million revolving credit and security agreement. Effective October 16, 2008, this credit line was reduced to $550 million. The revolving credit agreement is secured by the assets of the Fund. In connection with this agreement, for the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund incurred fees of approximately $2,568,400. For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the average daily balance of borrowings under the revolving credit and security agreement was $399,755,435 with a weighted average interest rate of 2.60%.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security whose value is “derived” from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.

The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to generate potential gain. All of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation/ depreciation. Risks may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Summarized below are specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Fund.

A. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Forward foreign currency contracts are commitments to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original value of the contract and the closing value of such contract is included as a component of realized gain/loss on forward foreign currency contracts.

B. Credit Default Swaps The Fund adopted the provisions of the FASB Staff Position Paper No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FSP FAS 133-1 and

38

Van Kampen Dynamic Credit Opportunities Fund
Notes to Financial Statements  n  January 31, 2009 (Unaudited)  continued

FIN 45-4), effective January 31, 2009. FSP FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 requires the seller of credit derivatives to provide additional disclosure about its credit derivatives.

The Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts, a type of credit derivative, for hedging purposes or to gain exposure to a credit or index of credits in which the Fund may otherwise invest. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer or index of issuers. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy protection by paying periodic fees in return for a contingent payment from the seller if the issuer has a credit event such as bankruptcy, a failure to pay outstanding obligations or deteriorating credit while the swap is outstanding. A seller of a credit default swap is said to sell protection and thus collects the periodic fees and profits if the credit of the issuer remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding. The seller in a credit default swap contract would be required to pay an agreed-upon amount, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event of the issuer. This agreed-upon amount approximates the notional amount of the swap as disclosed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments and is estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the seller could be required to make under the credit default swap contract. In the event of an adverse credit event, the seller generally does not have any contractual remedies against the issuer or any other third party. However, if a physical settlement is elected, the seller would receive the defaulted credit and, as a result, become a creditor of the issuer.

The current credit rating of each individual issuer, if available, is listed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments and serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for credit default swaps on an index of credits or non-rated issuers, the quoted market prices and current values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative. Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.

The Fund accrues for the periodic fees on credit default swaps on a daily basis with the net amount accrued recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. Upon cash settlement of the periodic fees, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap contracts on the Statement of Operations. Net unrealized gains are recorded as an asset or net unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the swap contracts is reported as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made upon entering into a credit default swap contract, if any, are recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the issuer directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps. Therefore, swaps are subject to the risk of default or non-performance by the counterparty. If there is a default by the counterparty to a swap agreement, the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. Counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the valuation of each swap) on behalf of the Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Fund has instructed the custodian to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss. Collateral pledges are monitored

and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate. Cash collateral is disclosed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments. Cash collateral has been offset against open swap contracts under the provision of FASB Interpretation No. 39: Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105 and are included within “Swap Contracts” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For cash collateral received the Fund pays a monthly fee to the counterparty based on the effective rate for Federal Funds. This fee, when paid, is included within realized loss on swap contracts on the Statement of Operations.

8. Indemnifications

The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

9. Accounting Pronouncement

On March 19, 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items

10. Legal Matters

The Fund is one of numerous defendants (“Lenders”) that have been named in an adversary proceeding pending in the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida (the “Court”). The action, entitled In re Tousa Inc., et al., was filed on July 15, 2008, by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of home building companies to which the Lenders loaned money through different lending facilities. An amended complaint was filed on October 17, 2008. Plaintiff alleges that monies used to repay the Lenders should be avoided as fraudulent and preferential transfers under the bankruptcy laws. More specifically, Plaintiff alleges that subsidiaries of the home building companies were allegedly forced to become co-borrowers and guarantors of the monies used to repay the Lenders, and that the subsidiaries did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value when they transferred the proceeds to repay the Lenders. Plaintiff seeks to avoid the transfers and other equitable relief. The Fund and the other Lenders are named as defendants in two separate lending capacities; first, as lenders in a credit agreement (the “Credit Lenders”); and second, as lenders in a term loan (the “Term Loan Lenders”). The Fund, as Credit Lender, moved to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court denied the motion to dismiss on December 4, 2008. The Fund and the other Credit Lenders filed a motion for leave to appeal the dismissal, which was denied on February 23, 2009. Plaintiff thereafter filed a Second Amended Complaint that was superseded by a Third Amended Complaint. The Fund filed two answers to the Third Amended Complaint in its respective capacities as a Credit Lender and a Term Loan Lender. The Court has ordered that all parties take part in a mediation to be held in March 2009.
