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. Expenses are as of the fund’s fiscal year-end as outlined in the fund’s current prospectus.
The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in year one and declining to zero after year six), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect their conversion into Class A shares eight years after purchase Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by (i) eligible institutions (e.g., a financial institution, corporation, trust, estate, or educational, religious or charitable institution) with assets of at least $1,000,000, (ii) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1,000,000 (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (iii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1,000,000, (iv) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any upfront or deferred sales charge on purchases or sales and without any distribution (12b-1) fee or service fee. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. SEC yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. Yields are subject to change. Periods less than one year are not annualized.
The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax exempt bonds. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2010
Market Conditions
Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the March labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest increase in three years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February—perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.
Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. After hitting decade lows in October 2009, municipal bond yields began to climb, with the greatest increases occurring on long-maturity issues. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned -0.43 percent, underperforming five-year bonds which returned 1.32 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes. The outperformance of the front end of the municipal yield curve was a reversal from the prior six months when the long end outperformed.
The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended March 31, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index gained 4.04 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 0.28 percent.
With regard to sectors, hospital bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections. Tobacco bond performance lagged for the period due to the relative richness of prices in the sector in September 2009 and waning demand.
Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $28 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $220 billion. However, 20 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.

Performance Analysis
All share classes of Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund underperformed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) for the six months ended March 31, 2010, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.
Total returns for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010

The performance for the four share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definition.
The Fund’s performance relative to the Index was primarily attributable to the following factors:
• | With regard to the Fund’s yield-curve positioning, an overweight on the longer end of the curve detracted from performance as short and intermediate maturities outperformed long maturity issues during the period. |
• | An overweight allocation to the tobacco sector muted performance as demand for these securities faded during the period and spreads widened, resulting in underperformance relative to most other revenue-backed sectors. |
• | In terms of coupon structure, the Fund continues to favor more defensive securities with higher coupons, which has proven advantageous as zero coupon and deep discount bonds underperformed during the period. |
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect municipal bonds may outperform other sectors of the fixed income market due to the reduction in supply of tax-exempt paper as municipalities continue to issue taxable Build America Bonds as well as the prospect of higher income tax rates in the future. There is some pressure, however, for municipal yields to rise, particularly on the front end of the yield curve, as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain their inflation-fighting status. We expect lower quality bonds will continue to outperform higher grade bonds as the economic recovery continues.
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.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and C Shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 10/1/09 - 3/31/10.
Actual Expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on December 14, 1984. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm (ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund appropriately updated relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.
A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) (formerly known as FAS 157) defines fair value 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. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use
30
Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
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.
C. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund had no when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments.
D. Income and Expenses Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. 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. 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 four year period ended September 30, 2009, 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 September 30, 2009, the Fund had an
31
Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $75,259,452 which will expire according to the following schedule:
Amount | Expiration | |||||||
$ | 210,390 | September 30, 2015 | ||||||
7,990,386 | September 30, 2016 | |||||||
67,058,676 | September 30, 2017 |
At March 31, 2010, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | $ | 838,180,996 | ||||
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | $ | 40,251,748 | ||||
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | (16,222,124 | ) | ||||
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments | $ | 24,029,624 | ||||
F. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 29,572 | ||
Tax-exempt income | 41,064,410 | |||
$ | 41,093,982 | |||
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 9,287 | ||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | 1,564,771 |
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book.
G. Insurance Expense The Fund typically invests in insured bonds. Any portfolio securities not specifically covered by a primary insurance policy are insured secondarily through the Fund’s portfolio insurance policy. Insurance premiums are based on the daily balances of uninsured bonds in the portfolio of investments and are charged to expense on an accrual basis.
The insurance policy guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities in the Fund’s portfolio.

H. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At March 31, 2010, Fund investments with a value of $100,987,160 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $60,760,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2010 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $62,367,875 and 2.41%, respectively.
I. Reporting Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of any subsequent events through May 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were effectively issued. Management has determined that other than the event described in Note 9, there are no material events or transactions that would affect the Fund’s financial statements or require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | % Per Annum | |||
First $500 million | 0.525% | |||
Next $500 million | 0.500% | |||
Next $500 million | 0.475% | |||

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $16,300 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $58,100 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 Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $118,700 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
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. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $290,000 are included in “Other” assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2010. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligations and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement 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. Pursuant to the closing of the transaction as described in Note 9, the deferred compensation and retirement plans will be terminated and amounts owed to the trustees will be distributed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $87,500 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $16,600. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $35,657,396 and $48,294,914, respectively.
5. Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash
35
Van Kampen Insured Tax Free Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
6. Distribution and Service Plans
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $532,600 and $97,600 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
7. Line of Credit
During the year, several Van Kampen municipal funds, including the Fund, entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The purpose of the facility is to provide availability of funds for short-term liquidity purposes. There were no borrowings under the facility during the six months ended March 31, 2010.
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. Subsequent Event
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of Van Kampen Investments Inc., announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”). The transaction (the “Transaction”) affects the part of the asset management business that advises funds, including the Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions, and is currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Transaction will cause the Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved that the Fund be transitioned to the Invesco mutual fund platform by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), advised by an affiliate of Invesco that has substantially the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund (the “Reorganization”). On May 11, 2010, the Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of Shareholders. If certain other conditions to closing of the Transaction are met, shareholders of the Fund will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund. Upon completion of the proposed Reorganization, the Fund will dissolve pursuant to a plan of dissolution adopted by the Board.
10. Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860). The objective of ASC 860 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of ASC 860 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of ASC 860. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASC 860 and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and the impact it will have on financial statement disclosures.

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. Expenses are as of the fund’s fiscal year-end as outlined in the fund’s current prospectus.
The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in years one and two and declining to zero after year five), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent for per year of the fund’s average daily net assets Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by (i) eligible institutions (e.g., a financial institution, corporation, trust, estate, or educational, religious or charitable institution) with assets of at least $1,000,000, (ii) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1,000,000 (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (iii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1,000,000, (iv) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any upfront or deferred sales charge on purchases or sales and without any distribution (12b-1) fee or service fee. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. SEC yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. Yields are subject to change. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds. The Barclays Capital California Insured Municipal Bond Index is comprised of insured California municipal bond issues. The Indices are unmanaged and do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2010
Market Conditions
Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the March labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest increase in three years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February—perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.
Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. After hitting decade lows in October 2009, municipal bond yields began to climb, with the greatest increases occurring on long-maturity issues. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned -0.43 percent, underperforming five-year bonds which returned 1.32 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes. The outperformance of the front end of the municipal yield curve was a reversal from the prior six months when the long end outperformed.
The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended March 31, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index gained 4.04 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 0.28 percent.
With regard to sectors, hospital bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections. Tobacco bond performance lagged for the period due to the relative richness of prices in the sector in September 2009 and waning demand.
Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $28 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $220 billion. However, 20 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.
The state of California still benefits from its large and diverse economic base and above-average wealth levels yet faces many challenges from its large exposure to the housing crisis, falling tax revenues, and recent budgetary shortfalls. In January 2010 the governor proposed a budget for fiscal year 2011 that seeks to close a $19 billion
2
gap for the balance of fiscal year 2010 and for fiscal year 2011 and create a $1 billion surplus. This is accomplished through $8.5 billion of spending cuts, $7 billion of additional federal funds and $4 billion in other measures. As of the end of March, California is rated Baa1/Stable by Moody’s, A-/Negative by S&P and BBB/Stable by Fitch. The state typically leads the national economy and we will continue to closely monitor its financial performance.
Performance Analysis
All share classes of Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund underperformed the Barclays Capital California Insured Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) and the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index for the six months ended March 31, 2010, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The performance for the four share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definitions.
The Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the period was primarily attributable to the following factors:
• | An overweight allocation to the tobacco sector muted performance as demand for these securities faded during the period and spreads widened, resulting in underperformance relative to most other revenue-backed sectors. |
• | With regard to the Fund’s yield-curve positioning, an overweight on the longer end of the curve detracted from performance as short and intermediate maturities outperformed long maturity issues during the period. |
• | In terms of coupon structure, the Fund continues to favor more defensive securities with higher coupons, which has proven advantageous as zero coupons and deep discount bonds underperformed during the period. |
3
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect municipal bonds may outperform other sectors of the fixed income market due to the reduction in supply of tax-exempt paper as municipalities continue to issue taxable Build America Bonds as well as the prospect of higher income tax rates in the future. There is some pressure, however, for municipal yields to rise, particularly on the front end of the yield curve, as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain their inflation-fighting status. We expect lower quality bonds will continue to outperform higher grade bonds as the economic recovery continues.
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.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and C Shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 10/1/09 - 3/31/10.
Actual Expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide only California investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, with liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified portfolio of insured California municipal securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on December 13, 1985. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm (ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund appropriately updated relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.
A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) (formerly known as FAS 157), defines fair value 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. ASC 820 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.
C. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund had no when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments.
D. Income and Expenses Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. 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. 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 four-year period ended September 30, 2009, 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 such losses against any future realized capital gains. At September 30, 2009, the Fund had an
25

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $5,203,605, which will expire according to the following schedule:
Amount | Expiration | |||||||
$ | 803,875 | September 30, 2016 | ||||||
4,399,730 | September 30, 2017 |
At March 31, 2010, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | $ | 175,931,300 | ||||
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | $ | 4,480,612 | ||||
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | (3,962,640 | ) | ||||
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments | $ | 517,972 | ||||
F. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains, which are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:
Distributions paid from: | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 1,520 | ||
Tax-exempt income | 8,524,382 | |||
$ | 8,525,902 | |||
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 708 | ||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | 815,261 |
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.
G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
(1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At March 31, 2010, Fund investments with a value of $14,292,008 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $9,080,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2010 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $9,080,000 and 0.84%, respectively.
H. Insurance Expense The Fund typically invests in insured bonds. Any portfolio securities not specifically covered by a primary insurance policy are insured secondarily through the Fund’s portfolio insurance policy. Insurance premiums are based on the daily balances of uninsured bonds in the portfolio of investments and are charged to expense on an accrual basis. The insurance policy guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities in the Fund’s portfolio.
I. Reporting Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of any subsequent events through May 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were effectively issued. Management has determined that other than the event described in Note 9, there are no material events or transactions that would affect the Fund’s financial statements or require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | % Per Annum | |||
First $100 million | 0.500% | |||
Next $150 million | 0.450% | |||
Next $250 million | 0.425% | |||
Over $500 million | 0.400% |
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $9,900 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $28,800 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 Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $14,100 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
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. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund, and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $148,200 are included in “Other” assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2010. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement 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. Pursuant to the closing of the transaction as described in Note 9, the deferred compensation and retirement plans will be terminated and amounts owed to the trustees will be distributed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $20,700 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $2,400. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.
At March 31, 2010, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, owned 569 shares of Class I.

4. Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $8,270,985 and $14,421,436, respectively.
5. Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash
29
Van Kampen California Insured Tax Free Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
6. Distribution and Service Plans
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $1,100 for Class C Shares. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
7. Line of Credit
During the six months ended March 31, 2010, several Van Kampen municipal funds, including the Fund, entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The purpose of the facility is to provide availability of funds for short-term liquidity purposes. There were no borrowings under the facility during the six months ended March 31, 2010.
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. Subsequent Events
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of Van Kampen Investments Inc., announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”). The transaction (“Transaction”) affects the part of the asset management business that advises funds, including the Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Transaction will cause the Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved that the Fund be transitioned to the Invesco mutual fund platform by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), advised by an affiliate of Invesco that has substantially the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund (the “Reorganization”). On May 11, 2010, the Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of shareholders. If certain other conditions to the closing of the Transaction are met, shareholders of the Fund will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund. Upon completion of the proposed Reorganization, the Fund will dissolve pursuant to a plan of dissolution adopted by the Board.
10. Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860). The objective of ASC 860 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of ASC 860 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of ASC 860. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASC 860 and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time,

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. Expenses are as of the fund’s fiscal year-end as outlined in the fund’s current prospectus.
The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in year one and declining to zero after year six), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by (i) eligible institutions (e.g., a financial institution, corporation, trust, estate, or educational, religious or charitable institution) with assets of at least $1,000,000, (ii) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1,000,000 (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (iii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1,000,000, (iv) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any upfront or deferred sales charge on purchases or sales and without any distribution (12b-1) fee or service fee. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. SEC yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. Yields are subject to change. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax exempt bonds. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2010
Market Conditions
Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the March labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest increase in three years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February—perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.
Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. After hitting decade lows in October 2009, municipal bond yields began to climb, with the greatest increases occurring on long-maturity issues. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned -0.43 percent, underperforming five-year bonds which returned 1.32 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes. The outperformance of the front end of the municipal yield curve was a reversal from the prior six months when the long end outperformed.
The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended March 31, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index gained 4.04 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 0.28 percent.
With regard to sectors, hospital bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections. Tobacco bond performance lagged for the period due to the relative richness of prices in the sector in September 2009 and waning demand.
Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $28 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $220 billion. However, 20 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.

Performance Analysis
Class A, Class B and Class C shares of Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund underperformed and Class I shares outperformed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) for the six months ended March 31, 2010, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.
Total returns for the six-month period ended March 31, 2010

0.19 | % | –0.10 | % | –0.18 | % | 0.40 | % | 0.28 | % | ||||||||||||||||||||||
The performance for the four share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definition.
The Fund’s underperformance of the Index for the period was primarily attributable to the following:
• | An overweight in long-maturity issues hindered performance as the long end of the municipal yield curve underperformed. |
• | An underweight in pre-refunded bonds also detracted from relative performance as these short-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the curve. |
Other positions, however, were additive to relative performance:
• | Overweights in BBB rated and non-rated bonds enhanced relative performance as spreads on these lower quality issues tightened over the course of the period. |
• | An overweight in revenue bonds boosted returns as revenue bonds overall outperformed general obligation bonds due to the ongoing weakness in financial conditions of municipalities. |
• | An underweight in California municipal bonds was also advantageous as the weakness of the state’s economy led spreads on these issues to widen during the period. |
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect municipal bonds may outperform other sectors of the fixed income market due to the reduction in supply of tax-exempt paper as municipalities continue to issue taxable Build America Bonds as well as the prospect of higher income tax rates in the future. There is some pressure, however, for municipal yields to rise, particularly on the front end of the yield curve, as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain their inflation-fighting status. We expect lower quality bonds will continue to outperform higher grade bonds as the economic recovery continues.
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.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 10/1/09 - 3/31/10.
Actual Expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced investment operations on August 1, 1990. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class-specific expenses and voting rights on the matters affecting a single class.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund appropriately updated relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.
A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) (formerly known as FAS 157), defines fair value 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. ASC 820 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

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
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.
C. Security Transactions Security 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund had no when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.
D. Income and Expenses Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. 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. 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 four year period ended September 30, 2009, 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 September 30, 2009, the Fund had an
37

4,317,804 | September 30, 2016 | |||||||
13,244,161 | September 30, 2017 |
At March 31, 2010, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | $ | 680,808,153 | ||
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | $ | 30,784,081 | ||
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | (36,867,825 | ) | ||
Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments | $ | (6,083,744 | ) | |
F. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:
Distributions paid from: | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 30,819 | ||
Tax Exempt income | 35,870,538 | |||
$ | 35,901,357 | |||
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 12,254 | ||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | 2,643,777 |
G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund
38

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
(1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At March 31, 2010, Fund’s investments with a value of $103,871,014 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $62,095,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2010 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $67,332,943 and 0.19%, respectively.
H. Reporting Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of any subsequent events through May 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were effectively issued. Management has determined that other than the event described in Note 9, there are no material events or transactions that would affect the Fund’s financial statements or require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | % Per Annum | |||
First $500 million | 0.50% | |||
Over $500 million | 0.45% |
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $12,600 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $50,400 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

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $61,700 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
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. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund, and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $210,600 are included in “Other” assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2010. Appreciation/ depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement 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. Pursuant to the closing of the transaction as described in Note 9, the deferred compensation and retirement plans will be terminated and amounts owed to the trustees will be distributed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Van Kampen as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $102,300 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $35,700. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $45,928,898 and $57,180,802, respectively.
5. Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could
41
Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
6. Distribution and Service Plans
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $2,806,000 and $282,300 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
7. 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.
8. Line of Credit
During the period, several Van Kampen municipal funds, including the Fund, entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The purpose of the facility is to provide availability of funds for short-term liquidity purposes. There were no borrowings under the facility during the six months ended March 31, 2010.
9. Subsequent Event
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of Van Kampen Investments, Inc., announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”). The transaction (“Transaction”) affects the part of the asset management business that advises funds, including the Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions, and is currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Transaction will cause the Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved, that the Fund be transitioned to the Invesco mutual fund platform by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), advised by an affiliate of Invesco, that has substantially the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund (the “Reorganization”). On May 11, 2010, the Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of shareholders. If certain other conditions to closing of the Transaction are met, shareholders of the Fund will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund in
42
Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
exchange for their shares of the Fund. Upon completion of the proposed Reorganization, the Fund will dissolve pursuant to a plan of dissolution adopted by the Board.
10. Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860). The objective of ASC 860 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of ASC 860 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of ASC 860. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASC 860 and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and the impact it will have on financial statement disclosures.

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. Expenses are as of the fund’s fiscal year-end as outlined in the fund’s current prospectus.
The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in years one and two and declining to zero after year five), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by (i) eligible institutions (e.g., a financial institution, corporation, trust, estate, or educational, religious or charitable institution) with assets of at least $1,000,000, (ii) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least $1,000,000 (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans), (iii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least $1,000,000, (iv) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class I shares are offered without any upfront or deferred sales charge on purchases or sales and without any distribution (12b-1) fee or service fee. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The fund’s adviser has waived or reimbursed fees and expenses from time to time; absent such waivers/ reimbursements the fund’s returns would have been lower. SEC 30-day yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. Yields are subject to change. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2010
Market Conditions
Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the March labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest increase in three years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February—perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.
Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. After hitting decade lows in October 2009, municipal bond yields began to climb, with the greatest increases occurring on long-maturity issues. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned -0.43 percent, underperforming five-year bonds which returned 1.32 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes. The outperformance of the front end of the municipal yield curve was a reversal from the prior six months when the long end outperformed.
The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended March 31, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index gained 4.04 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 0.28 percent.
With regard to sectors, hospital bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections. Tobacco bond performance lagged for the period due to the relative richness of prices in the sector in September 2009 and waning demand.
Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $28 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $220 billion. However, 20 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.

Performance Analysis
All share classes of Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund outperformed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) for the six months ended March 31, 2010, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The performance for the four share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definition.
The Fund’s performance relative to the Index was primarily attributable to the following:
• | Overweights in BBB rated and non-rated bonds enhanced relative performance as spreads on these lower quality issues tightened over the course of the period. |
• | An overweight in revenue bonds boosted returns as revenue bonds overall outperformed general obligation bonds due to the ongoing weakness in financial conditions of municipalities. |
• | An underweight in California municipal bonds was also advantageous as weakness of the state’s economy led spreads on these issues to widen during the period. |
• | Conversely, an underweight in pre-refunded bonds detracted from relative performance as these short-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the curve. |
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect municipal bonds may outperform other sectors of the fixed income market due to the reduction in supply of tax-exempt paper as municipalities continue to issue taxable Build America Bonds as well as the prospect of higher income tax rates in the future. There is some pressure, however, for municipal yields to rise, particularly on the front end of the yield curve, as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain their inflation-fighting status. We expect lower quality bonds will continue to outperform higher grade bonds as the economic recovery continues.
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.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 10/1/09 - 3/31/10.
Actual Expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced investment operations on May 28, 1993. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund appropriately updated relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.
A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) (formerly known as FAS 157), defines fair value 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. ASC 820 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
32
Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
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.
C. Security Transactions Security 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund had $2,099,480 of when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.
D. Income and Expenses Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. 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. Management has concluded that 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 four year period ended September 30, 2009, 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 September 30, 2009, the Fund had an
33
Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of $323,062, which will expire according to the following schedule:
Amount | Expiration | |||||||
$ | 2,882 | September 30, 2015 | ||||||
320,180 | September 30, 2017 |
At March 31,2010, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | $ | 314,446,470 | ||||
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | $ | 13,961,942 | ||||
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | (1,919,231 | ) | ||||
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments | $ | 12,042,711 | ||||
F. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares daily and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 2,366 | ||
Tax-exempt income | 8,333,691 | |||
$ | 8,336,057 | |||
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 596 | ||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | 540,041 |
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.
G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interest in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating
34
Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investments assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trust have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At March 31, 2010, Fund investments with a value of $7,081,607 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $4,280,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2010, are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $4,263,146 and 0.77%, respectively.
H. Reporting Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of any subsequent events through May 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were effectively issued. Management has determined that other than the event described in Note 9 there are no material events or transactions that would affect the Fund’s financial statements or require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | % Per Annum | |||
First $500 million | 0.50% | |||
Over $500 million | 0.45% |
The Fund’s Adviser is currently waiving or reimbursing all or a portion of the Fund’s advisory fees or other expenses. This resulted in net expense ratios of 0.84%, 1.59%, 1.59%, and 0.59% for Classes A, B, C and I Shares, respectively. The fee waivers or expense reimbursements are voluntary and can be discontinued at any time. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Adviser waived or reimbursed approximately $152,300 of advisory fees or other expenses.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $4,200 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.
35

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 March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $31,600 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 Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $17,900 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. The transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
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. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund, and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $140,900 are included in “Other” assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2010. Appreciation/depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement 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. Pursuant to the closing of the transaction as described in Note 9, the deferred compensation and retirement plans will be terminated and amounts owed to the trustees will be distributed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $117,600 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $13,500. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $65,947,637 and $15,768,706, respectively.
5. Inverse Floating Rate Investments
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held
37
Van Kampen Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent that the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than change in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
6. Distribution and Service Plans
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $56,200 and $96,800 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
7. Line of Credit
During the six months ended March 31, 2010, several Van Kampen municipal funds, including the Fund, entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The purpose of the facility is to provide availability of funds for short-term liquidity purposes. There were no borrowings under the facility during the six months ended March 31, 2010.
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. Subsequent Event
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of Van Kampen Investments, Inc., announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”). The transaction (the “Transaction”) affects the part of the asset management business that advises funds, including the Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Transaction will cause the Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved that the Fund be transitioned to the Invesco mutual fund platform by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), advised by an affiliate of Invesco that has substantially the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund (the “Reorganization”). On May 11, 2010, the Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of shareholders. If certain other conditions to closing of the Transaction are met, shareholders of the Fund will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund. Upon completion of the proposed Reorganization, the Fund will dissolve pursuant to a plan of dissolution adopted by the Board.
10. Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860). The objective of ASC 860 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of ASC 860 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of ASC 860. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASC 860 and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3

rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and the impact it will have on financial statement disclosures.

Past performance 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. Expenses are as of the fund’s fiscal year-end as outlined in the fund’s current prospectus.
The returns shown in this report do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance of share classes will vary due to differences in sales charges and expenses. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of the maximum sales charge of 4.75 percent for Class A shares, a contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00 percent for Class B shares (in year one and declining to zero after year six), a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00 percent for Class C shares in year one and combined Rule 12b-1 fees and service fees of up to 0.25 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class A shares and up to 1.00 percent per year of the fund’s average daily net assets for Class B and C shares. The since inception and 10-year returns for Class B shares reflect its conversion into Class A shares eight years after purchase. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The fund’s adviser has waived or reimbursed fees and expenses from time to time; absent such waivers/reimbursements the fund’s returns would have been lower. SEC yield is a calculation for determining the amount of portfolio income, excluding non-income items as prescribed by the SEC. The unsubsidized SEC yields reflect some or all of the expenses that the adviser had voluntarily waived. Yields are subject to change. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds. The Barclays Capital New York Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of New York issued municipal bonds rated at least Baa or BBB by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, and with maturities of 2 years or greater. Indices are unmanaged and do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fund Report
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2010
Market Conditions
Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the March labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest increase in three years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February—perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.
Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. After hitting decade lows in October 2009, municipal bond yields began to climb, with the greatest increases occurring on long-maturity issues. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned -0.43 percent, underperforming five-year bonds which returned 1.32 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes. The outperformance of the front end of the municipal yield curve was a reversal from the prior six months when the long end outperformed.
The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended March 31, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index gained 4.04 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 0.28 percent.
With regard to sectors, hospital bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections. Tobacco bond performance lagged for the period due to the relative richness of prices in the sector in September 2009 and waning demand.
Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $28 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $220 billion. However, 20 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.
The state of New York benefits from its broad-based and wealthy economy and has seen an improvement in its finances and budgetary reserves over the past few years. The economic slowdown and concerns on Wall Street, as well as the volatility in the financial markets will pose challenges for the state over the next year. The state will
2
also have to deal with dwindling economic stimulus funds from the federal government, forcing the state to find additional expenditure cuts. As of the end of March, New York is rated Aa3/Stable by Moody’s, AA/Stable by S&P and AA-/Stable by Fitch. We continue to monitor the state’s fiscal position and will look for opportunities to invest in more stable sectors.
Performance Analysis
All share classes of Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund outperformed the Barclays Capital New York Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”) and the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index for the six months ended March 31, 2010, assuming no deduction of applicable sales charges.

The performance for the three share classes varies because each has different expenses. The Fund’s total return figures assume the reinvestment of all distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of any applicable sales charges. Such costs would lower performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. See Performance Summary for standardized performance information and index definitions.
The Fund’s outperformance of the Index was primarily attributable to the following:
• | Overweights in BBB rated, non-investment grade and non-rated bonds enhanced relative performance as spreads on these lower quality issues tightened over the course of the period. |
• | An overweight in revenue bonds boosted returns as revenue bonds overall outperformed general obligation bonds due to the ongoing weakness in financial conditions of municipalities. |
• | Overweight positions in the health care and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (IDR/PCR) sectors were advantageous. As risk tolerance increased over the period, demand for these lower rated, higher yielding bonds improved, boosting their performance. |
Other positions, however, were less beneficial. The primary detractors from relative performance included:
• | An overweight in long-maturity issues hindered performance as the long end of the municipal yield curve underperformed. |
• | An underweight in pre-refunded bonds also detracted from relative performance as these short-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the curve. |
3
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, we expect municipal bonds may outperform other sectors of the fixed income market due to the reduction in supply of tax-exempt paper as municipalities continue to issue taxable Build America Bonds as well as the prospect of higher income tax rates in the future. There is some pressure, however, for municipal yields to rise, particularly on the front end of the yield curve, as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain their inflation-fighting status. We expect lower quality bonds will continue to outperform higher grade bonds as the economic recovery continues.
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.

Once Investor Services has received your instructions, we will begin sending individual copies for each account within 30 days.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments of Class A Shares and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 10/01/09 - 3/31/10.
Actual Expense
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a series of the Van Kampen Tax Free Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, and is registered as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a high level of current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes, consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of New York municipal securities that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase. The Fund commenced investment operations on July 29, 1994. The Fund offers Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class I Shares. Each class of shares differs by its initial sales load, contingent deferred sales charges, the allocation of class specific expenses and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. As of March 31, 2010, there have been no sales of Class I Shares.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codificationtm (ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund appropriately updated relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.

Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) (formerly known as FAS 157), defines fair value 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. ASC 820 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.
C. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. 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 March 31, 2010, there were no when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.
D. Income and Expenses Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution and service fees and incremental transfer agency costs which are unique to each class of shares.
E. 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. 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 four year period ended September 30, 2009, 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 eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against future realized capital gains. At September 30, 2009, the Fund had an
23
Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purpose of $1,814,155, which will expire on September 30, 2017.
At March 31, 2010, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes | $ | 96,710,734 | ||
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | $ | 4,502,508 | ||
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | (3,970,122 | ) | ||
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments | $ | 532,386 | ||
F. Distribution of Income and Gains The Fund declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2009 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 1,046 | ||
Tax-exempt income | 4,752,989 | |||
$ | 4,754,035 | |||
As of September 30, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 731 | ||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | 419,428 |
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.
G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Fund enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Fund to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Fund enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Fund to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Fund (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the
24
Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Fund’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Fund’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At March 31, 2010, Fund investments with a value of $5,086,382 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $3,270,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at March 31, 2010 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended March 31, 2010 were $3,269,485 and 0.85%, respectively.
H. Reporting Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of any subsequent events through May 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were effectively issued. Management has determined that other than the event described in Note 8, there are no material events or transactions that would affect the Fund’s financial statements or require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (“the Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:
Average Daily Net Assets | % Per Annum | |||
First $500 million | 0.470% | |||
Over $500 million | 0.445% |
The Fund’s Adviser is currently waiving or reimbursing all or a portion of the Fund’s advisory fees or other expenses. This resulted in net expense ratios of 0.79%, 1.52%, and 1.57% for Classes A, B, and C Shares, respectively. The fee waivers or expense reimbursements are voluntary and can be discontinued at any time. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Adviser waived or reimbursed approximately $125,800 of advisory fees or other expenses.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $7,300 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 March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $22,000, 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.
25

Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
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 Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Van Kampen Investor Services Inc. (VKIS), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $9,100 representing transfer agency fees paid to VKIS and its affiliates. Transfer agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
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. Amounts deferred are retained by the Fund and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, may be invested in the common shares of those funds selected by the trustees. Investments in such funds of approximately $88,300 are included in “Other” assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2010. Appreciation/ depreciation and distributions received from these investments are recorded with an offsetting increase/decrease in the deferred compensation obligation and do not affect the net asset value of the Fund. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement 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. Pursuant to the closing of the transaction as described in Note 8, the deferred compensation and retirement plans will be terminated and amounts owed to the trustees will be distributed.
For the six months ended March 31, 2010, Van Kampen, as Distributor for the Fund, received commissions on sales of the Fund’s Class A Shares of approximately $8,900 and contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redeemed shares of approximately $9,800. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $11,116,971 and $12,961,437, respectively.
5. Inverse Floating Rate Securities
The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Fund in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Fund in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Fund is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.
27
Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
The Fund generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.
In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Fund, the Fund will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Fund could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.
6. Distribution and Service Plans
Shares of the Fund are distributed by Van Kampen Funds Inc. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and a service plan (collectively, the “Plans”) for Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares to compensate the Distributor for the sale, distribution, shareholder servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts for these shares. Under the Plans, the Fund will incur annual fees of up to 0.25% of Class A average daily net assets and up to 1.00% each of Class B and Class C average daily net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid to the Distributor monthly.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (“unreimbursed receivable”) was approximately $0 and $3,800 for Class B and Class C Shares, respectively. These amounts may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed receivable has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
7. 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.
8. Subsequent Event
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of Van Kampen Investments, Inc., announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”). The transaction (“Transaction”) affects the part of the asset management business that advises funds, including the Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions, and is currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the Transaction will cause the Fund’s current investment advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a
28
Van Kampen New York Tax Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
Notes to Financial Statements n March 31, 2010 (Unaudited) continued
subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved that the Fund be transitioned to the Invesco mutual fund platform by transferring the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), advised by an affiliate of Invesco, that has substantially the same investment objective, principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund (the “Reorganization”). On May 11, 2010, the Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Fund at a special meeting of shareholders. If certain other conditions to closing of the Transaction are met, shareholders of the Fund will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund in exchange for their shares of the Fund. Upon completion of the proposed Reorganization, the Fund will dissolve pursuant to a plan of dissolution adopted by the Board.
9. Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860). The objective of ASC 860 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.
ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of ASC 860 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of ASC 860. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASC 860 and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and disclosures, if any.
On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and the impact it will have on financial statement disclosures.
