2007 Government Obligations
Information for Van Kampen FundsJanuary 16,
2008
The
portion of dividends paid by your fund that is derived from U.S. government obligations is generally exempt from state and local income taxes. In many states, income derived from other government agencies is also free from state income taxes. The percentage of 2007 dividends paid by your fund attributable to government and agency obligations is listed below. Primary obligations represent direct investments in Treasury securities, while secondary obligations are direct investments in generally qualifying U.S. agency obligations. Only those funds that have earned income from U.S. government obligations in 2007 are listed below. Please note, this information will no longer be provided on a separate form for Open-End Funds.
For specific information about your state’s exemption provisions, please consult your tax advisor or local taxing authority.
| A note about money markets: An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. |
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 a fund.1 Fund shares are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Open-end funds: If you have any questions about your open-end
fund’s income distributions, please call (800) 847-2424.
Life Investment Trusts

about your
life investment trust or
