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, net asset value
(NAV) and common share market price will fluctuate and fund
shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.
The NAV per share is
determined by dividing the value of the funds portfolio
securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the
total number of common shares outstanding. The common share
market price is the price the market is willing to pay for
shares of the fund at a given time. Common share market price is
influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand
and market conditions. Total return assumes an investment at the
beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions for
the period in accordance with the funds dividend
reinvestment plan, and sale of all shares at the end of the
period. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The Lehman Brothers
BBB Corporate Bond Index, which has been shown in the
Funds previous shareholder reports, changed its name to
Barclays Capital BBB Corporate Bond Index as of November 3,
2008. The Barclays Capital BBB Corporate Bond Index is generally
representative of corporate 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
12-month
period ended June 30, 2009
Market
Conditions
The first half of the
12-month
reporting period was one of the worst periods in the history of
the financial markets as deteriorating economic and credit
conditions eroded investor confidence and led to extreme losses
in all sectors of the market. The downward spiral was triggered
by the government takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September
2008. As a series of other takeovers and failures occurred in
subsequent weeks, the credit markets became nearly paralyzed.
Banks stopped lending, liquidity became scarce and short-term
borrowing costs soared. Panic ensued and investors shed risky
assets in favor of high quality Treasury securities, which led
to significant spread widening in the corporate credit market.
In 2009, however, the outlook began to improve. Although
economic conditions remained weak, the contraction in growth
slowed. The gross domestic product (GDP) annualized growth rate
reported during the period showed a decline of 5.5 percent in
the first quarter of the year versus a 6.3 percent decline in
the fourth quarter of 2008. At the same time, it appeared that
many of the programs the government had introduced in late 2008
to enhance market liquidity were beginning to have an impact.
Credit concerns eased, consumer confidence began to improve and
the market regained its footing as investors began to assume
risk again. These factors, coupled with improving news on the
corporate front, led to a rebound in the corporate bond market,
particularly in financials, which was the most beaten down
sector in late 2008. Although the sector outpaced both
industrials and utilities in recent months, spreads still remain
wider than historical averages. Within the corporate credit
market as a whole, renewed investor risk appetite led
lower-quality issues to outperform higher-quality issues. In
terms of issuance, volumes have been robust. In fact, the first
half of 2009 saw the heaviest investment grade corporate bond
issuance of any six-month period on record.

Performance
Analysis
The Funds return can be calculated based upon either the
market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per
share is determined by dividing the value of the Funds
portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all
liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common
shares outstanding, while market price reflects the supply and
demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ,
as they did during the reporting period. On an NAV basis, the
Fund underperformed the Barclays Capital BBB Corporate Bond
Index (the Index) but on a market price basis, the
Fund outperformed the Index.

Performance data
quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of
future results, and current performance may be lower or higher
than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and
common share market price will fluctuate and Fund shares, when
sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See
Performance Summary for additional performance information and
index definition.
The Funds performance for the
12-month
reporting period was influenced primarily by the following
factors.
|
|
|
In the first half of the period, the Fund held positions in
commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed
securities (ABS), neither of which are included in the
Index. These holdings hindered returns as the sectors were
negatively impacted by the spillover effects of the subprime
mortgage crisis and weakening economy. It should be noted,
however, that the ABS position has since been eliminated and the
CMBS position was reduced to less than one percent of holdings.
|
|
|
The Fund held an underweight allocation to corporate
credits. This underweight was beneficial early in the period
as credit spreads widened significantly, but was disadvantageous
in recent months as the market rallied. As signs of improvement
in the market emerged in early 2009, we began to increase the
position with a focus on larger financial names, which was
beneficial, yet the Fund remained slightly underweight relative
to the Index at period end. Additionally, a relatively greater
focus on high quality bonds within the investment grade sector
hindered performance as the lower quality spectrum outperformed
for the period.
|
|
|
Within corporate credit, overweight allocations to the
banking, food and beverage, insurance and media sectors
were additive to relative returns as significant spread
tightening in these sectors during the first half of 2009 led to
their strong performance.
|
3
|
|
|
The Funds yield curve positioning was beneficial to
relative performance. We employed tactical strategies involving
interest rates swaps that were designed to take advantage of
short-term rate movements across the yield curve. For example,
as we entered the second quarter of 2009, the portfolio was
positioned to benefit from a narrowing of the spread between
yields on
10-year
maturities and yields on long maturities. As this narrowing
occurred, we unwound the position and at the end of May,
initiated another position designed to benefit from a widening
of the yield spread between these areas of the curve. Each of
these trades was beneficial to performance.
|
In closing, we remind shareholders that the Funds Board of
Trustees has approved a procedure whereby the Fund may, when
appropriate, repurchase its shares in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market
value or NAV, whichever is lower at the time of purchase. This
may help support the market value of the Funds shares.
Market
Outlook
As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has left
interest rates unchanged since their last reduction in the
target federal funds rate in December 2008 and has maintained an
accommodative position at each of its meetings this year. The
official statement from their June 2009 meeting noted improved
conditions in financial markets and some further signs of
stabilization in household spending, but there was a note of
caution as the Committee stated, economic activity is
likely to remain weak for a time.
Overall, we believe broad economic stimulus, lower inventories,
and easy capital conditions in both the consumer and business
segments point to the potential for an upturn in the economy in
the second half of 2009.
As we enter the third quarter, we will continue to closely
monitor the market and seek to take advantage of emerging
opportunities in the higher-quality credit space as they develop.
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.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
Approval of
Sub-Advisory
Agreement. Effective as of January 6, 2009, the Funds
investment adviser entered into an investment subadvisory
agreement with Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (the
investment subadviser) to assist the investment
adviser in performing its investment advisory functions. Each of
the investment adviser and the investment subadviser are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgan Stanley. As required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, at a meeting held on
January 6, 2009, the Board of Trustees, and the independent
trustees voting separately, considered and ultimately determined
that the terms of the investment subadvisory agreement are fair
and reasonable and approved the investment subadvisory agreement
as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Pursuant to the investment subadvisory agreement, personnel
employed by the investment subadviser assist in providing
portfolio management services to the Fund. The Board of Trustees
considered, among other things, the nature, extent and quality
of the services provided by the investment adviser and the
services expected to be provided by the investment subadviser,
focusing on the capability of the personnel of the investment
subadviser, and specifically the strength and background of its
portfolio management personnel. The Board of Trustees also
considered that the new subadvisory arrangement would not
materially change the Funds advisory relationship, the
Funds advisory fee would remain the same, and there would
be no decrease in the nature or level of the investment advisory
services provided to the Fund. The Board of Trustees noted that
entry into this new investment subadvisory agreement for the
Fund is substantially similar to arrangements entered into by
several other Van Kampen funds. The Board of Trustees,
including the independent trustees, evaluated all of the
foregoing and, after considering all factors together, has
determined, in the exercise of its business judgment that
continuance of the investment advisory agreement with the
investment adviser coupled with approval of the investment
subadvisory agreement with the investment subadviser is in the
best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Approval of Continuation of Advisory Agreement and
Sub-Advisory
Agreement. Both the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the terms
of the Funds investment advisory agreement require that
the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and its
investment adviser and the subadvisory agreement between the
investment adviser and the investment subadviser be approved
annually both by a majority of the Board of Trustees and by a
majority of the independent trustees voting separately. The
investment adviser and the investment subadviser are affiliates
and the Board of Trustees considered the investment advisory
agreement and the subadvisory agreement jointly. References
herein to the investment advisory agreement include collectively
the investment advisory agreement and the subadvisory agreement
and references herein to the
9
investment adviser include collectively the investment adviser
and the investment subadviser.
At meetings held on April 17, 2009 and May
20-21, 2009,
the Board of Trustees, and the independent trustees voting
separately, considered and ultimately determined that the terms
of the investment advisory agreement are fair and reasonable and
approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement as
being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In
making its determination, the Board of Trustees considered
materials that were specifically prepared by the investment
adviser at the request of the Board and Fund counsel, and by an
independent provider of investment company data contracted to
assist the Board, relating to the investment advisory agreement
review process. The Board also considered information received
periodically about the portfolio, performance, the investment
strategy, portfolio management team and fees and expenses of the
Fund. The Board of Trustees considered the investment advisory
agreement over a period of several months and the trustees held
sessions both with the investment adviser and separate from the
investment adviser in reviewing and considering the investment
advisory agreement.
In approving the investment advisory agreement, the Board of
Trustees considered, among other things, the nature, extent and
quality of the services provided by the investment adviser, the
performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to other
similar funds and other products, the investment advisers
expenses in providing the services and the profitability of the
investment adviser and its affiliated companies. The Board of
Trustees considered the extent to which any economies of scale
experienced by the investment adviser are shared with the
Funds shareholders, and the propriety of existing and
alternative breakpoints in the Funds investment advisory
fee schedule. The Board of Trustees considered comparative
advisory fees of the Fund and other investment companies
and/or other
products at different asset levels, and considered the trends in
the industry. The Board of Trustees evaluated other benefits the
investment adviser and its affiliates derive from their
relationship with the Fund. The Board of Trustees reviewed
information about the foregoing factors and considered changes,
if any, in such information since its previous approval. The
Board of Trustees discussed the financial strength of the
investment adviser and its affiliated companies and the
capability of the personnel of the investment adviser, and
specifically the strength and background of its portfolio
management personnel. The Board of Trustees reviewed the
statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and
disclosure of investment advisory agreements. The Board of
Trustees, including the independent trustees, evaluated all of
the foregoing and does not believe any single factor or group of
factors control or dominate the review process, and, after
considering all factors together, has determined, in the
exercise of its business judgment, that approval of the
investment advisory agreement is in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The following summary provides more
detail on certain matters considered but does not detail all
matters considered.
10
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided. On a
regular basis, the Board of Trustees considers the roles and
responsibilities of the investment adviser as a whole and those
specific to portfolio management, support and trading functions
servicing the Fund. The trustees discuss with the investment
adviser the resources available and used in managing the Fund
and changes made in the Funds portfolio management team
and the Funds portfolio management strategy over time. The
trustees also discuss certain other services which are provided
on a cost-reimbursement basis by the investment adviser or its
affiliates to the Van Kampen funds including certain
accounting, administrative and legal services. The Board has
determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services
provided by the investment adviser support its decision to
approve the investment advisory agreement.
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund. On a regular basis,
the Board of Trustees reviews the performance, fees and expenses
of the Fund compared to its peers and to appropriate benchmarks.
In addition, the Board spends more focused time on the
performance of the Fund and other funds in the Van Kampen
complex, paying specific attention to underperforming funds. The
trustees discuss with the investment adviser the performance
goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Fund. When
considering a funds performance, the trustees and the
investment adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term
returns (focusing on one-year, three-year and five-year
performance with special attention to three-year performance)
and, when a funds weighted performance is under the
funds benchmark or peers, they discuss the causes and
where necessary seek to make specific changes to investment
strategy or investment personnel. The Fund discloses more
information about its performance elsewhere in this report. The
trustees discuss with the investment adviser the level of
advisory fees for this Fund relative to comparable funds and
other products advised by the adviser and others in the
marketplace. The trustees review not only the advisory fees but
other fees and expenses (whether paid to the adviser, its
affiliates or others) and the Funds overall expense ratio.
The Board has determined that the performance, fees and expenses
of the Fund support its decision to approve the investment
advisory agreement.
Investment Advisers Expenses in Providing the Service and
Profitability. At least annually, the trustees review the
investment advisers expenses in providing services to the
Fund and other funds advised by the investment adviser and the
profitability of the investment adviser. These profitability
reports are put together by the investment adviser with the
oversight of the Board. The trustees discuss with the investment
adviser its revenues and expenses, including, among other
things, revenues for advisory services, portfolio
management-related expenses, revenue sharing arrangement costs
and allocated expenses both on an aggregate basis and per fund.
The Board has determined that the analysis of the investment
advisers expenses and profitability support its decision
to approve the investment advisory agreement.
11
Economies of Scale. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees
considers the size of the Fund and how that relates to the
Funds expense ratio and particularly the Funds
advisory fee rate. In conjunction with its review of the
investment advisers profitability, the trustees discuss
with the investment adviser how more (or less) assets can affect
the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the Funds
portfolio and whether the advisory fee level is appropriate
relative to current asset levels
and/or
whether the advisory fee structure reflects economies of scale
as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its review
of the actual and potential economies of scale of the Fund
support its decision to approve the investment advisory
agreement.
Other Benefits of the Relationship. On a regular basis, the
Board of Trustees considers other benefits to the investment
adviser and its affiliates derived from the investment
advisers relationship with the Fund and other funds
advised by the investment adviser.
These benefits include, among other things, fees for transfer
agency services provided to the funds, in certain cases research
received by the adviser generated from commission dollars spent
on funds portfolio trading, and in certain cases
distribution or service related fees related to funds
sales. The trustees review with the investment adviser each of
these arrangements and the reasonableness of its costs relative
to the services performed. The Board has determined that the
other benefits received by the investment adviser or its
affiliates support its decision to approve the investment
advisory agreement.
Subsequent to the Boards approval of the continuation of
the advisory agreement and subadvisory agreement, the portfolio
management personnel associated with the investment subadviser
became associated with the investment adviser. As a result, the
investment subadvisory agreement will no longer be required and
will be terminated effective August 5, 2009.

Bond Fund
Notes to Financial
Statements n June 30,
2009
1. Significant
Accounting Policies
Van Kampen Bond Fund (the Fund) is registered
as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act). The Funds investment objective is to seek
interest income while conserving capital.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
A. Security Valuation Fixed income
investments are stated at value using market quotations or
indications of value obtained from an independent pricing
service. Investments in securities listed on a securities
exchange are valued at their last sale price as of the close of
such securities exchange. Listed and unlisted securities for
which the last sale price is not available are valued at the
mean of the last reported bid and asked prices. For those
securities where quotations or prices are not readily available
as noted above, valuations are determined in accordance with
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 issuers 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. Credit default and interest rate swaps are valued using
market quotations from brokers. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.
B. Fair Value Measurements The Fund
adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157), effective July 1, 2008. In
accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price
that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an
independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of
a principal market the most advantageous market for the
investment or liability. FAS 157 establishes a three-tier
hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect
the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an
asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs)
and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entitys 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 Funds 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.)
|
31
Van Kampen
Bond Fund
Notes to Financial
Statements n June 30,
2009 continued
|
|
Level 3 |
significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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 its 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 June 30,
2009, the Fund had $784,851 of when-issued or delayed delivery
purchase commitments.
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are
short-term investments in which the Fund acquires ownership of a
debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security
at a future time and specified price. The Fund may invest
independently in repurchase agreements, or transfer uninvested
cash balances into a pooled cash account along with other
investment companies advised by Van Kampen Asset Management
(the Adviser) or its affiliates, the daily aggregate
of which is invested in repurchase agreements. Repurchase
agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying debt
security. The Fund will make payment for such securities only
upon physical delivery or evidence of book entry transfer to the
account of the custodian bank. The seller is required to
maintain the value of the underlying security at not less than
the repurchase proceeds due the Fund.
D. Investment Income Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Premiums are amortized and discounts are
accreted over the expected life of each applicable security.
E. Federal Income Taxes It is the
Funds 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. Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes (FIN 48) sets forth a minimum
threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax
positions that would require recognition in the financial
statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued
related to unrecognized tax benefits in Interest
Expense and penalties in Other expenses on the
Statement of Operations. The Fund files tax returns with the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York and various states.
Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended
June 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
June 30, 2009, the Fund had an

F. Distribution of Income and Gains The
Fund declares and pays quarterly 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 years ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

relating to wash sales transactions and gains and losses
recognized for tax purposes on open futures transactions on
June 30, 2009.

G. Credits Earned on Cash
Balances During the year ended June 30, 2009,

credits earned on cash balances.
H. Reporting Subsequent Events In
accordance with the provisions set forth in Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 165, Subsequent Events, adopted by the Fund as
of June 30, 2009, management has evaluated the possibility
of subsequent events existing in the Funds financial
statements through August 21, 2009. Management has determined
that there are no material events or transactions that would
effect the Funds financial statements or require
disclosure in the Funds financial statements through this
date.
2. Investment

4. Investment
Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales
of investments, excluding short-term investments and
U.S. Government securities, were $120,370,376 and
$102,428,492 respectively. The cost of purchases and proceeds
from sales of long-term U.S. Government securities,
including paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, for the period
were $12,311,229 and $3,700,079, respectively.
5. Mortgage
Backed Securities
The Fund may invest in various types of Mortgage Backed
Securities. A Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) is a pass-through
security created by pooling mortgages and selling participations
in the principal and interest payments received from borrowers.
Most of these securities are guaranteed by federally sponsored
agenciesGovernment National Mortgage Association (GNMA),
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). A Collateralized Mortgage
Obligation (CMO) is a bond which is collateralized by a pool of
MBSs.
These securities derive their value from or represent interests
in a pool of mortgages, or mortgage securities. Mortgage
securities are subject to prepayment riskthe risk that, as
mortgage interest rates fall, borrowers will refinance and
prepay principal. A fund holding mortgage securities
that are experiencing prepayments will have to reinvest these
payments at lower prevailing interest rates. On the other hand,
when interest rates rise, borrowers are less likely to refinance
resulting in lower prepayments. This can effectively extend the
maturity of a funds mortgage securities resulting in
greater price volatility. It can be difficult to measure
precisely the remaining life of a mortgage security or the
average life of a portfolio of such securities.
To the extent a fund invests in mortgage securities offered by
non-governmental issuers, such as commercial banks, savings and
loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies,
mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers, the Fund
may be subject to additional risks. Timely payment of interest
and principal of non-governmental issuers are supported by
various forms of private insurance or guarantees, including
individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance purchased by
the issuer. There can be no assurance that the private insurers
can meet their obligations under the policies.
An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a
mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage
backed security and could result in losses to a Fund. The risk
of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage
pools that include subprime mortgages. Subprime mortgages refer
to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or
with a lower capacity to make timely payment on their mortgages.

6. Derivative
Financial Instruments
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers
to a security whose value is derived from the value
of an underlying asset, reference rate or index.
The Fund may use derivative instruments for a variety of
reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Fund against possible
changes in the market value of its portfolio or to generate
potential gain. All of the Funds portfolio holdings,
including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day
with the change in value reflected in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or
loss is recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of a
security underlying a futures contract. In these instances, the
recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of
the security underlying the contract.
Summarized below are specific types of derivative financial
instruments used by the Fund.
A. Futures Contracts The Fund is subject
to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency
exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its
investment objectives. The Fund may use futures contracts to
gain exposure to, or hedge against changes in the value of
equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. A futures
contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a particular
asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. Upon
entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of
cash or liquid securities with a value equal to a percentage of
the contract amount with either a futures commission merchant
pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940
Act, or with its custodian in an account in the brokers
name. This amount is known as initial margin. During the period
the futures contract is open, payments are received from or made
to the broker based upon changes in the value of the contract
(the variation margin). When entering into futures contracts,
the Fund bears the risk of interest or exchange rates or
securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund
may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures
contracts and may realize a loss. With futures, there is minimal
counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange
traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as a counterparty to all
exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
The risk of loss associated with a futures contract is in excess
of the variation margin reflected on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.

B. Swap Contracts The Fund is subject to
credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment
objectives. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps to
manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the
market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and
sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or
sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. A credit
default swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange the
credit risk of an issuer or index of issuers. A buyer of a
credit default swap is said to buy protection by paying periodic
fees in return for a contingent payment from the seller if the
issuer has a credit event such as bankruptcy, a failure to pay
outstanding obligations or
36
Van Kampen
Bond Fund
Notes to Financial
Statements n June 30,
2009 continued
deteriorating credit while the swap
is outstanding. A seller of a credit default swap is said to
sell protection and thus collects the periodic fees and profits
if the credit of the issuer remains stable or improves while the
swap is outstanding. The seller in a credit default swap
contract would be required to pay an
agreed-upon
amount, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event of
the issuer. This
agreed-upon
amount approximates the notional amount of the swap as disclosed
in the table following the Portfolio of Investments and is
estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the
seller could be required to make under the credit default swap
contract. In the event of an adverse credit event, the seller
generally does not have any contractual remedies against the
issuer or any other third party. However, if a physical
settlement is elected, the seller would receive the defaulted
credit and, as a result, become a creditor of the issuer.
The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in
the table following the Portfolio of Investments and serves as
an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance
risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for credit default
swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and
current values serve as an indicator of the current status of
the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative.
Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in
absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a
greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.
The Fund accrues for the periodic fees on credit default swaps
on a daily basis with the net amount accrued recorded within
unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. Upon
cash settlement of the periodic fees, the net amount is recorded
as realized gain/loss on swap contracts on the Statement of
Operations. Net unrealized gains are recorded as an asset or net
unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the swap
contracts is reported as unrealized gains or losses on the
Statement of Operations. Upfront payments received or made upon
entering into a credit default swap contract, if any, are
recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations
upon termination or maturity of the swap. Credit default swaps
may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the
issuer directly. The Funds maximum risk or loss from
counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the
protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk
is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the
fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by
the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Funds exposure
to the counterparty.
The Fund may sell credit default swaps which expose it to risk
of loss from credit risk related events specified in the
contract. Although contract-specific, credit events are
generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring,
obligation acceleration, obligation default, or
repudiation/moratorium. As disclosed in the footnotes to the
Portfolio of Investments, the aggregate fair value of credit
default swaps in a net liability position as of June 30,
2009 was $110,390. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as
collateral, net of assets received as collateral, for these
swaps was $213,948. If a defined credit event had occurred as of
June 30, 2009, the swaps credit-risk-related
contingent features would have been triggered and the Fund would
have been required to pay $7,893,000 less the value of the
contracts related reference obligations.
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal
course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the Fund
holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if
interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to
maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market
rates, the Fund may enter into interest rate swap
37
Van Kampen
Bond Fund
Notes to Financial
Statements n June 30,
2009 continued
contracts. Interest rate swaps,
including inflation asset swaps, are contractual agreements to
exchange interest payments calculated on a predetermined
notional principal amount except in the case of inflation asset
swaps where the principal amount is periodically adjusted for
inflation. Interest rate swaps generally involve one party
paying a fixed interest rate and the other party paying a
variable rate. The Fund will usually enter into interest rate
swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payments are netted out in a
cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the
instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may
be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Fund accrues
the net amount with respect to each interest rate swap on a
daily basis. This net amount is recorded within unrealized
appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. In a zero-coupon
interest rate swap, payments only occur at maturity, at which
time one counterparty pays the total compounded fixed rate over
the life of the swap and the other pays the total compounded
floating rate that would have been earned had a series of LIBOR
investments been rolled over through the life of the swap. Upon
cash settlement of the payments, the net amount is recorded as
realized gain/loss on swap contracts on the Statement of
Operations. The risks of interest rate swaps include changes in
market conditions that will affect the value of the contract or
the cash flows and the possible inability of the counterparty to
fulfill its obligation under the agreement. The Funds
maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the
discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid
to the counterparty of the contracts remaining life, to
the extent that the amount is positive. This risk is mitigated
by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the
counterparty and by posting of collateral by the counterparty to
the Fund to cover the Funds exposure to the counterparty.
Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and
there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps.
Therefore, swaps are subject to the risk of default or
non-performance by the counterparty. If there is a default by
the counterparty to a swap agreement, the Fund will have
contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the
transaction. Counterparties are required to pledge collateral
daily (based on the valuation of each swap) on behalf of the
Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any
unrealized gain. Reciprocally, when the Fund has an unrealized
loss on a swap contract, the Fund has instructed the custodian
to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value
approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss.
Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if
and when the swap valuations fluctuate. Cash collateral is
disclosed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments.
Cash collateral has been offset against open swap contracts
under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 39
Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement
No. 105 and are included within Swap
Contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For
cash collateral received, the Fund pays a monthly fee to the
counterparty based on the effective rate for Federal Funds. This
fee, when paid, is included within realized loss on swap
contracts on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(FAS 161), effective January 1, 2009. FAS 161 is
intended to improve financial reporting about derivative
instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable
investors to better understand how and why the fund uses
derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are
accounted for and their effects on the Funds financial
position and results of operations.

7. Indemnifications
The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of
indemnifications. The Funds 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
The Adviser had entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with
Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited (the
Sub-Adviser), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan
Stanley, effective January 6, 2009. The Sub-Advisory
Agreement was subsequently terminated on August 5, 2009.
The Sub-Adviser provided the Fund with investment advisory
services subject to the overall supervision of the Adviser and
the Funds officers and directors. The Adviser paid the
Sub-Adviser on a monthly basis a portion of the net advisory
fees the Adviser receives from the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Van Kampen
Bond Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities of Van Kampen Bond Fund (the Fund),
including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30,
2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the five years in the period then ended. These
financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our
audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
June 30, 2009, by correspondence with the Funds
custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from
brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial
highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Van Kampen Bond Fund as
of June 30, 2009, the results of its operations for the
year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the five years in the period then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OF THE
VAN KAMPEN FUNDS
AS ADOPTED JULY 23, 2003 AND AMENDED MAY 26, 20041
1. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion,
pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered
Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the
auditors independence from the Fund.2
The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not
provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committees administration of the engagement of
the independent auditor. The SECs rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving
services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be
pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee
(general pre-approval); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee
(specific pre-approval). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two
approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve
services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of
service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been
delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding
pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee.
For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are
consistent with the SECs rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider
whether the Independent Auditors are best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient
services, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Funds business, people, culture, accounting
systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Funds ability
to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole,
and no one factor should necessarily be determinative.
The Audit Committee is also mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit
services in deciding whether to pre-approve any such services and may determine for each fiscal
year, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit, Audit-related and Tax
services for the Fund (including any Audit-related or Tax service fees for Covered Entities that
were subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit
services classified as All Other services for the Fund (including any such services for Covered
Entities subject to pre-approval).
The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services
that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is
12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a
different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the
services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval
|

This Joint Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services
Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures (the Policy), amended as of the
date above, supercedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been
amended from time to time. |
|
2 |
|
Terms used in this Policy and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings as defined in the Joint Audit Committee
Charter. |
from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general
pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit
Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committees
responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.
The Funds Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of
the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors independence.
2. Delegation
As provided in the Act and the SECs rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of
pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is
delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
3. Audit Services
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval
of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other
procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on
the Funds financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural
reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal
control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will monitor the Audit
services engagement as necessary, but no less than on a quarterly basis, and will also approve, if
necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund
structure or other items.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit
Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that
only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory
audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4,
etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in
connection with securities offerings.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1. All other Audit
services not listed in Appendix B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by
any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
4. Audit-related Services
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit or review of the Funds financial statements or, to the extent they are
Covered Services, the Covered Entities financial statements, or that are traditionally performed
by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of
Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the
SECs rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to
Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations
related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as Audit
services; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting
guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to
accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or
regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under
Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix B.2. All other
Audit-related services not listed in Appendix B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit
Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
5. Tax Services
The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the
Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance,
tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditors independence, and the SEC has stated
that the Independent Auditors may provide such services. Hence, the Audit Committee believes it may
grant general pre-approval to those Tax services that have historically been provided by the
Independent Auditors, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the
independence of the Independent Auditors, and that are consistent with the SECs rules on auditor
independence. The Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditors in
connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditors, the sole business
purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the
Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with Director of
Tax or outside counsel to determine that the tax planning and reporting positions are consistent
with this policy.
Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in
Appendix B.3. All Tax services involving large and complex transactions not listed in Appendix B.3
must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee
to which pre-approval has been delegated), including tax services proposed to be provided by the
Independent Auditors to any executive officer or trustee/director/managing general partner of the
Fund, in his or her individual capacity, where such services are paid for by the Fund (generally
applicable only to internally managed investment companies).
6. All Other Services
The Audit Committee believes, based on the SECs rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors
from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted.
Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible
non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring
services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SECs rules
on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix B.4. Permissible All
Other services not listed in Appendix B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee
(or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
A list of the SECs prohibited non-audit services is attached to this policy as Appendix B.5.
The SECs rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of
these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
7. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts
Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent
Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding
these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in
determining whether to pre-approve any such services. For each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may
determine the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit, Audit-related, and Tax
services for the Fund (including any Audit-related or Tax services fees for Covered Entities
subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services
classified as All Other services for the Fund (including any such services for Covered Entities
subject to pre-approval).
8. Procedures
All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do
not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Funds Chief
Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The
Funds Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of
services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors.
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee
will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Funds Chief
Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or
application is consistent with the SECs rules on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee has designated the Funds Chief Financial Officer to monitor the
performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such
services are in compliance with this Policy. The Funds Chief Financial Officer will report to the
Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. A sample report is included
as Appendix B.7. Both the Funds Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to
the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the
Funds Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.
9. Additional Requirements
The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its
responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditors
independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent
Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent
with Independence Standards Board No. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods
and procedures for ensuring independence.
10. Covered Entities
Covered Entities include the Funds investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Funds investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing
services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6,
2003, the Funds audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund
but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial
reporting of the Fund. This list of Covered Entities would include:

Van Kampen Bond Fund
FUND MANAGEMENT
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT. As of the date of this report, the Fund is managed by members of the
Advisers Taxable Fixed Income team. The Taxable Fixed Income team consists of portfolio managers
and analysts. The current members of the team jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Funds portfolio and the execution of the overall strategy of the Fund are
Virginia Keehan, A Vice President of the Adviser, Joseph Mehlman, an Executive Director of the
Adviser, and Christian G. Roth, a Managing Director of the Adviser. Ms. Keehan has been associated
with the Adviser in an investment management capacity since February 2004 and began managing the
Fund in December 2008. Mr. Mehlman has been associated with the Adviser in an investment
management capacity since 2002 and began managing the Fund in December 2008. Mr. Roth has been
associated with the Adviser or its investment management affiliates in an investment management
capacity since 1991 and began managing the Fund in January 2009.
The composition of the team may change without notice from time to time.
OTHER ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
As of June 30, 2009:
Ms. Keehan managed two registered investment companies with a total of approximately $958.1 million
in assets; no pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies and no other
accounts.
Mr. Mehlman managed two registered investment companies with a total of approximately $958.1
million in assets; no pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies; and
two other accounts with a total of approximately $400.3 million in assets.
Mr. Roth managed six registered investment companies with a total of approximately $1.1 billion in
assets; 20 pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies with a total of
approximately $11.4 billion in assets; and 54 other accounts (including accounts managed under
certain wrap fee programs) with a total of approximately $14.7 billion in assets. Of these other
accounts, six accounts with a total of approximately $1.4 billion in assets had performance-based
fees.
Because the portfolio managers manage assets for other investment companies, pooled investment
vehicles, and/or other accounts (including institutional clients, pension plans and certain high
net worth individuals), there may be an incentive to favor one client over another resulting in
conflicts of interest. For instance, the Adviser may receive fees from certain accounts that are
higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may receive a performance-based fee on certain
accounts. In those instances, the portfolio manager may have an incentive to favor the higher
and/or performance-based fee accounts over the Fund. In addition, a conflict of interest could
exist to the extent the Adviser has proprietary investments in certain accounts, where portfolio
managers have personal investments in certain accounts or when certain accounts are investment
options in the Advisers employee benefits and/or deferred compensation plans. The portfolio
manager may have an incentive to favor these accounts over others. If the Adviser manages accounts
that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, the Adviser could
be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaged in short
sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall. The Adviser has adopted
trade allocation and other policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to
address these and other conflicts of interest.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
Portfolio managers receive a combination of base compensation and discretionary compensation,
comprised of a cash bonus and several deferred compensation programs described below. The
methodology used to determine portfolio manager compensation is applied across all accounts managed
by the portfolio manager.
BASE SALARY COMPENSATION. Generally, portfolio managers receive base salary compensation based on
the level of their position with the Adviser.
DISCRETIONARY COMPENSATION. In addition to base compensation, portfolio managers may receive
discretionary compensation.
Discretionary compensation can include:
- Cash Bonus;
- Morgan Stanleys Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program awards a mandatory program that
defers a portion of discretionary year-end compensation into restricted stock units or other awards
based on Morgan Stanley common stock that are subject to vesting and other conditions;
- Investment Management Alignment Plan (IMAP) awards a mandatory program that defers a portion
of discretionary year-end compensation and notionally invests it in designated funds advised by the
Adviser or its affiliates. The award is subject to vesting and other conditions. Portfolio managers
must notionally invest a minimum of 25% to a maximum of 100% of the IMAP deferral into a
combination of the designated open-end funds they manage that are included in the IMAP Fund menu;
- Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plans voluntary programs that permit certain employees to
elect to defer a portion of their discretionary year-end compensation and directly or notionally
invest the deferred amount: (1) across a range of designated investment funds, including funds
advised by the Adviser or its affiliates; and/or (2) in Morgan Stanley stock units.
Several factors determine discretionary compensation, which can vary by portfolio management team
and circumstances. In order of relative importance, these factors include:
- Investment performance. A portfolio managers compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment
performance of the funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Investment performance is
calculated for one-, three- and five-year periods measured against an appropriate securities market
index (or indices) for the funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Other funds/accounts
managed by the same portfolio manager may be measured against this same index and same rankings or
ratings, if appropriate, or against other indices and other rankings or ratings that are deemed
more appropriate given the size and/or style of such funds/accounts as set forth in such
funds/accounts disclosure materials and guidelines. The assets managed by the portfolio manager
in funds, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts are described in Other Accounts Managed by
the Portfolio Manager above. Generally, the greatest weight is placed on the three- and five-year
periods.
- Revenues generated by the investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts
managed by the portfolio manager.
- Contribution to the business objectives of the Adviser.
- The dollar amount of assets managed by the portfolio manager.
- Market compensation survey research by independent third parties.
- Other qualitative factors, such as contributions to client objectives.
- Performance of Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., and the overall
performance of the investment team(s) of which the portfolio manager is a member.
