Open End Mutual Fund Account Privileges

Establishing Privileges

If you move money from a non-retirement account with same class of shares to a retirement account, you are processing what is generally called a "fiduciary exchange", to fund your retirement account. This type of "fiduciary exchange" is processed as a redemption from your non-retirement account and a contribution at the next determined net asset value per share of the fund to your retirement account. This may be a taxable event; contact your tax advisor for more information about taxability.

Fiduciary Exchanges can generally be processed online. An existing fiduciary account must be already established to process a fiduciary exchange.

Log in to Account Access and select Account Options from an eligible account's detail section to establish or modify these privileges online.

Certain restrictions apply. Excludes certain account types and the Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund.

Automatic Investment Plan (AIP)

Start investing automatically from your bank account.

Change the draft amount, date, frequency, or delete a plan online.
To start an AIP on a new fund, you need to establish that account first. To do that, initiate a purchase to a new fund or an exchange to a new fund. Once that fund is established, you can start your new AIP online.

Direct Deposit Option for Distributions*

Deposit your dividends and capital gains distribution checks directly into your bank account.

Dividend Diversification*

Invest your fund's dividend and capital gain dividend distributions at the next determined net asset value per share of the fund into another existing fund/account of the same share class.

Dividend Reinvestment*

Maximize your investing power by having dividend and capital gain dividend distributions reinvested without sales charge. (Unless you instruct us otherwise, we’ll reinvest your dividends automatically—excludes the Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund.)

*Not available for 529 plan accounts or Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund.
