Van Kampen Real Estate Securities Fund to Close to
New Investors in January
At Van Kampen, we understand that shareholders expect the funds they choose will follow a consistent
discipline and style. To support our portfolio management teams’ ability to maintain fund mandates, we
may periodically elect to limit a fund’s size, restricting new sales when we believe that such action serves the
best interests of existing shareholders.
The combination of the very strong performance of the real estate sector, significant new inflows and the Real
Estate team’s strong track record have resulted in significant growth in assets under management.However, the
team is concerned that continued strong asset growth without a commensurate increase in market capitalization
may at some point hinder the team’s ability to continue to deliver what has been strong performance. Past
performance does not guarantee future results.As a result, the management team has recommended closing
the fund to all new investors. The Board of Directors has concurred with the team’s recommendation.
Therefore, after careful consideration, we are closing Van Kampen Real Estate Securities Fund to all new
investors, effective at the close of business on January 12, 2007. It is important to note: Existing
shareholders may continue to invest in the fund.
Please refer to the related prospectus supplement, available on the
mutual fund section, for more information.
Shareholders are encouraged to contact their financial advisors with any questions.

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 is subject to certain additional risks, including those
associated with: Real estate and REITs. In addition to the general risks associated with real-estate investment, REIT investing entails other risks, such
as credit and interest-rate risk. Foreign securities. The fund may invest in foreign securities; should it do so, the portfolio may be subject to additional
currency, political, economic, and market risks. Nondiversification. Because this fund expects to hold a concentrated portfolio of a limited number of
securities, a decline in the value of these investments would cause the fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree than a less concentrated
portfolio. Derivative instruments. Derivatives can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may have a potentially large negative impact
on the fund's performance.
