Beta is provided by Lipper Inc. Beta is a measure of a fund's sensitivity to market movements. By definition, the beta of the stock market is 1.00. Therefore, a fund with a beta of 1.10 is expected to perform 10 percent better than the market in "up" markets and 10 percent worse in "down" markets. Weighted median market capitilazation is one measure of the average capitilization size of the companies in which the fund invests.

Risk Considerations

There is no assurance that a mutual fund will achieve its investment objective. Funds are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the fund will decline and that the value of fund shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this fund. Please be aware that this fund may be subject to certain additional risks.Foreign and emerging markets. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.

2	Source: Morningstar, Inc., Chicago, IL 312-696-6000. The Morningstar Equity Style Box^TM is based on 03/31/2009 data. The Morningstar Style Box^TM reveals a fund's investment strategy. For equity funds the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend or growth). For fixed income funds the vertical axis shows the average credit quality of the bonds owned, and the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by a bond's duration (short, intermediate or long).

3	For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating^TM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar Rating^TM is for the share class shown only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

	Class A and Class R share performance shown since August 3, 1995. Average annual total return with sales charges includes payment of Rule 12b-1 fees of up to 0.25% for Class A shares and up to 0.50% for Class R. Performance figures for Class A shares, (first offered to the public on December 19, 2005) and Class R shares(first offered to the public on 3/20/07), include the historical performance of Class I shares (formerly 1838 International Equity Fund) from inception, August 3, 1995, through December 19, 2005, which has been restated to include the effect of the maximum sales charge plus Rule 12b-1 fees of up to 0.25%. Class I shares do not include sales charges or Rule 12b-1 fees. 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. Class I Shares are available for purchase exclusively by (i) tax-exempt retirement plans with assets of at least one million dollars (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), (ii) fee-based investment programs with assets of at least one million dollars, (iii) qualified state tuition plan (529 plan) accounts, (iv) institutional clients with assets of at least one million dollars and (v) certain Van Kampen investment companies. Class R Shares are available for purchase exclusively by investors through certain tax-exempt retirement plans (including 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans) held in plan level or omnibus accounts. Figures shown above assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Performance data for the classes vary based on differences in their fee and expense structures. Pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization between the Van Kampen International Growth Fund and 1838 International Equity Fund, on December 16, 2005, the Van Kampen International Growth Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of the 1838 International Equity Fund in exchange for Class I shares of the Van Kampen International Growth Fund. As a result of the reorganization, Class I shares of the Van Kampen International Growth Fund are the accounting successor of the 1838 International Equity Fund. The historical performance information reflects the Class I shares of the Van Kampen International Growth Fund (which for the period prior to the reorganization reflect the historical performance information of the shares of the 1838 International Equity Fund), which has been restated to reflect differences in sales charges and 12b-1 fees applicable to each class of shares of the Van Kampen International Growth fund but not differences in expenses.
