                      JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

                                 JUNE 22, 2007
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                  INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the respective Board of Trustees (the "Trustees" or the "Board") of each of the
Van Kampen Closed-End Funds listed on Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement (the
"Funds") of proxies to be voted at a Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the
Funds, and all adjournments thereof (the "Meeting"), to be held at the offices
of Van Kampen Investments Inc., 1 Parkview Plaza, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois
60181-5555, on Friday, June 22, 2007, at 9:30 a.m. The Meeting will be an annual
meeting for each Fund. The approximate mailing date of this Joint Proxy
Statement and accompanying form of proxy is May 18, 2007.

  Participating in the Meeting are holders of common shares of beneficial
interest (the "Common Shares") and, where applicable, the holders of preferred
shares of beneficial interest (the "Preferred Shares") of each of the Funds as
set forth in Annex A to this Joint Proxy Statement. The Common Shares and the
Preferred Shares of the Funds sometimes are referred to herein collectively as
the "Shares." The Meeting is scheduled as a joint meeting of the shareholders of
the Funds because the shareholders of the Funds are expected to consider and
vote on similar matters. The Board of Trustees has determined that the use of a
joint proxy statement for the Meeting is in the best interest of the
shareholders of each of the Funds. In the event that a shareholder of any Fund
present at the Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for
an adjournment of the meeting of such Fund to a time immediately after the
Meeting so that such Fund's meeting may be held separately, the persons named as
proxies will vote in favor of the adjournment.

  Annex A lists the abbreviated name and stock symbol by which the Funds
sometimes are referred to in this Joint Proxy Statement. Please refer to Annex A
for any questions you may have regarding whether your Fund is participating at
the Meeting, defined terms relating to the Funds and abbreviated Fund names.


  The Board has fixed the close of business on April 27, 2007 as the record date
(the "Record Date") for the determination of holders of Shares of each Fund
entitled to vote at the Meeting. The number of issued and outstanding Common
Shares and Preferred Shares of each Fund as of the Record Date is shown in Annex
B to this Joint Proxy Statement.

  The following table summarizes the proposals to be presented at the Meeting
for the Funds and the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the
proposals.

AT 1 PARKVIEW PLAZA, PO BOX 5555, OAKBROOK TERRACE, ILLINOIS 60181-5555.

VOTING

  Shareholders of a Fund on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per Share
with respect to any proposal submitted to the shareholders of the Fund, with no
Share having cumulative voting rights. The voting requirement for passage of a
particular proposal depends on the nature of the proposal.

  With respect to Proposal 1(a) through (c), holders of Common Shares and
Preferred Shares, where applicable, will vote as separate classes for the
respective nominee(s) to be elected by such class of Shares. The affirmative
vote of a plurality of the Common Shares of a Fund present at the Meeting in
person or by proxy is required to elect each nominee for Trustee of such Fund
designated to be elected by the holders of the Common Shares of such Fund. The
affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares of a Fund present at the
Meeting in person or by proxy is

                                        2


required to elect such nominee for Trustee of such Fund designated to be elected
by the holders of the Preferred Shares of such Fund. Election by plurality means
those persons who receive the highest number of votes cast "FOR" up to the total
number of persons to be elected as Trustees at the Meeting shall be elected.

  THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR ALL
OF THE NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES LISTED IN THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT.

  An unfavorable vote on a proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not
affect the implementation of such proposal by another Fund, if the proposal is
approved by the shareholders of the other Fund. An unfavorable vote on a
proposal by the shareholders of a Fund will not affect such Fund's
implementation of other proposals that receive a favorable vote. There is no
cumulative voting with respect to the election of Trustees.

  All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at
the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Proxies received
prior to the Meeting on which no vote is indicated will be voted "FOR" each
proposal as to which they are entitled to be voted. Abstentions and broker
non-votes (i.e., where a nominee such as a broker, holding shares for beneficial
owners, indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial
owners, and the nominee does not exercise discretionary authority) are not
treated as votes "FOR" a proposal. With respect to Proposal 1(a) through (c),
abstentions and broker non-votes are disregarded since only votes "FOR" are
considered in a plurality voting requirement. A majority of the outstanding
Shares of a Fund entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy to have
a quorum for such Fund to conduct business at the Meeting. Abstentions and
broker non-votes will be deemed present for quorum purposes.

  Shareholders who execute proxies may revoke them at any time before they are
voted by filing with the respective Fund a written notice of revocation, by
delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the
Meeting and voting in person.

  The Funds know of no business other than that mentioned in Proposal 1 of the
Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other
matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named on the
enclosed proxy to vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment. In the
event a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of
the proposals with respect to one or more Funds or proposals are not received,
proxies (including abstentions and broker non-votes) would be voted in favor of
one or more adjournments of the Meeting of the concerned Fund with respect to
such proposal to permit further solicitation of proxies, provided they determine
that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and in the
interest of shareholders based on a consideration of all relevant factors,
including the nature of the relevant proposal, the percentage of votes then
cast,

                                        3


the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the proposed
solicitation activities and the nature of the reasons for such further
solicitation.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Trustees are to be elected by the shareholders at the Meeting in the following
manner:

         (a) With respect to VKL, four Class I Trustees are to be elected at the
         Meeting, to serve until the later of such Fund's Annual Meeting of
         Shareholders in 2010 or until a successor has been duly elected and
         qualified. Holders of Common Shares, voting as a separate class, will
         vote
                                        4


         with respect to four Class I Trustees (David C. Arch, Jerry D. Choate,
         Howard J Kerr and Suzanne H. Woolsey) designated to be elected by such
         class of shares. An affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common
         Shares of such Fund is required to elect the respective nominees. It is
         the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
         Shares represented by them for the election of the respective nominees
         listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

         (b) With respect to VKI, VCV, VPV and VMV, three Class II Trustees are
         to be elected at the Meeting, to serve until the later of each such
         Fund's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2010 or until a successor has
         been duly elected and qualified. Holders of Common Shares, voting as a
         separate class, will vote with respect to two Class II Trustees (Linda
         Hutton Heagy and Wayne W. Whalen) designated to be elected by such
         class of shares. Holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate
         class, will vote with respect to one Class II Trustee (Rod Dammeyer)
         designated to be elected by such class of shares. An affirmative vote
         of a plurality of the Common Shares of each such Fund and a plurality
         of the Preferred Shares of each such Fund is required to elect the
         respective nominees. It is the intention of the persons named in the
         enclosed proxy to vote the Shares represented by them for the election
         of the respective nominees listed unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

         (c) With respect to VGM, VTJ, VIM, VTN, VOQ, VKQ, VMO, VLT and VVR,
         three Class III Trustees are to be elected at the Meeting, to serve
         until the later of each such Fund's Annual Meeting of Shareholders in
         2010 or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
         Holders of Common Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with
         respect to two Class III Trustees (R. Craig Kennedy and Jack E. Nelson)
         designated to be elected by such class of shares. Holders of Preferred
         Shares, voting as a separate class, will vote with respect to one Class
         III Trustee (Hugo F. Sonnenschein) designated to be elected by such
         class of shares. An affirmative vote of a plurality of the Common
         Shares of each such Fund and a plurality of the Preferred Shares of
         each such Fund is required to elect the respective nominees. It is the
         intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the Shares
         represented by them for the election of the respective nominees listed
         unless the proxy is marked otherwise.

           As in the past, only one class of Trustees is being submitted to
         shareholders of each Fund for election at the Meeting. The Declaration
         of Trust of each Fund provides that the Board of Trustees shall consist
         of Trustees divided into three classes, the classes to be as nearly
         equal in number as possible. The Trustees of only one class are elected
         at each

                                        5


         annual meeting so that the regular term of only one class of Trustees
         will expire annually and any particular Trustee stands for election
         only once in each three-year period. This type of classification may
         prevent replacement of a majority of Trustees of a Fund for up to a
         two-year period. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), applicable
         state law based on the state of organization of each Fund, each Fund's
         Declaration of Trust and each Fund's Bylaws.

                                        6

REMUNERATION OF TRUSTEES

  The compensation of Trustees and executive officers that are affiliated
persons (as defined in 1940 Act) of the Adviser or Van Kampen Investments is
paid by the respective affiliated entity. The funds in the Fund Complex,
including the Funds, pay the non-affiliated Trustees an annual retainer and
meeting fees for services to funds in the Fund Complex.

  Each fund in the Fund Complex (except the Van Kampen Exchange Fund) provides a
deferred compensation plan to its non-affiliated Trustees that allows such
Trustees to defer receipt of compensation and earn a return on such deferred
amounts based upon the return of the common shares of the funds in the Fund
Complex as selected by the respective non-affiliated Trustees. Each fund in the
Fund Complex (except the Van Kampen Exchange Fund) also provides a retirement
plan to its non-affiliated Trustees that provides non-affiliated Trustees with
compensation after retirement, provided that certain eligibility requirements
are met as more fully described below.

  Each non-affiliated Trustee generally can elect to defer receipt of all or a
portion of the compensation earned by such non-affiliated Trustee until
retirement. Amounts deferred are retained by the respective fund and earn a rate
of return determined by reference to the return on the common shares of such
fund or other funds in the Fund Complex as selected by the respective
non-affiliated Trustee, with the same economic effect as if such non-affiliated
Trustee had invested in one or more funds in the Fund Complex, including the
Funds. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, each Fund may invest in
securities of those funds selected by the non-affiliated Trustees in order to
match the deferred compensation obligation. The deferred compensation plan is
not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against
the general assets of the respective Fund.

  Each Fund has adopted a retirement plan. Under the retirement plan, a
non-affiliated Trustee who is receiving Trustee's compensation from a Fund prior
to such non-affiliated Trustee's retirement, has at least 10 years of service
(including years of service prior to adoption of the retirement plan) for such
Fund and retires at or after attaining the age of 60, is eligible to receive a
retirement benefit each year for ten years following such Trustee's retirement
from such Fund. Non-affiliated Trustees retiring prior to the age of 60 or with
fewer than 10 years but more than 5 years of service may receive reduced
retirement benefits from a Fund. Each Trustee has served as a member of each
Fund's Board of Trustees since the year of such Trustee's appointment or
election as set forth on Annex C to this Proxy Statement.

  Additional information regarding compensation and benefits for Trustees is set

in 2006, the Fund Complex's most recently completed calendar year ended December
31, 2006 or as of the date of this Proxy Statement.

(1) The amount of aggregate compensation payable by each Fund for its most
    recently completed fiscal year ended in 2006 before deferral by the Trustees
    under the deferred compensation plan is shown in Annex D. Certain Trustees
    deferred all or a portion of the aggregate compensation payable by each Fund
    for its most recently completed fiscal year end in 2006 as shown in Annex E.
    The deferred compensation plan is described above the table. Amounts
    deferred are retained by the respective Fund and earn a rate of return
    determined by reference to either the return on the Common Shares of the
    Fund or the common shares of other funds in the Fund Complex as selected by
    the respective Trustee. To the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, the Fund
    may invest in securities of these funds selected by the Trustees in order to
    match the deferred compensation obligation. The cumulative deferred
    compensation (including earnings accrued thereon for each trustee) for each
    Fund as of the end of its most recently completed fiscal year end in 2006 is
    shown in Annex F.

(2) The amounts shown in this column represent the sum of the estimated
    retirement benefit accruals expected to be accrued by the operating funds in
    the Fund Complex for their respective fiscal years ended in 2006. The
    retirement plan is described above the compensation table.

(3) For each Trustee, this is the sum of the estimated annual benefits payable
    by the current (i.e., as of the date of this Proxy Statement) operating
    funds in the Fund Complex for each year of the 10-year period commencing in
    the year of such Trustee's anticipated retirement. The retirement plan is
    described above the compensation table.

(4) The amounts shown in this column are accumulated from the aggregate
    compensation of the operating investment companies in the Fund Complex as of
    the calendar year ended December 31, 2006 before deferral by the Trustees
    under the deferred compensation plan. Because the funds in the Fund Complex
    have different fiscal year ends, the amounts shown in this column are
    presented on a calendar year basis.

BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS

  Each Fund's Board of Trustees has three standing committees (an audit
committee, a brokerage and services committee and a governance committee). Each
committee is comprised solely of "Independent Trustees", which is defined for
purposes herein as trustees who: (1) are not "interested persons" of the Fund as
defined by the 1940 Act and (2) are "independent" of the respective Fund as
defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Chicago
Stock Exchange listing standards.

  Each Board's audit committee consists of Messrs. Choate, Dammeyer and Kennedy.
In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these
Trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for audit committee
members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and
Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The audit committee makes
recommendations to the Board of Trustees concerning the selection of each Fund's
independent registered public accounting firm, reviews with such independent
registered public accounting firm the scope and results of each Fund's annual
audit and considers any comments which the independent registered public
accounting firm may have regarding each Fund's financial statements, accounting
records or internal controls. Each Board of Trustees has adopted a formal
written charter for the audit committee which sets forth the audit committee's
responsibilities. The audit committee charter for each of the Funds is available
on Van Kampen's web site at www.vankampen.com. The audit committee has reviewed
and discussed the financial statements of each Fund with management as well as
with the independent registered public accounting firm of each Fund, and
discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters
required to be discussed under the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61. The
audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the
independent registered public accounting firm required under Independence
Standard Board Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent registered
public accountants their independence. Based on this review, the audit committee
recommended to the Board of Trustees of each Fund that each Fund's audited
financial statements be included in each Fund's annual report to shareholders
for the most recent fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Each member of the Fund's audit committee is deemed an audit
committee financial expert.

  Each Board's brokerage and services committee consists of Mesdames Heagy and
Woolsey and Mr. Sonnenschein. The brokerage and services committee reviews each
Fund's allocation of brokerage transactions and soft-dollar practices and
reviews the transfer agency and shareholder servicing arrangements.

  Each Board's governance committee consists of Messrs. Arch, Kerr and Nelson.
In addition to being Independent Trustees as defined above, each of these
Trustees also meets the additional independence requirements for nominating
committee

                                        16


members as defined by the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and
Chicago Stock Exchange listing standards. The governance committee identifies
individuals qualified to serve as Independent Trustees on the Board and on
committees of the Board, advises the Board with respect to Board composition,
procedures and committees, develops and recommends to the Board a set of
corporate governance principles applicable to the respective Fund, monitors
corporate governance matters and makes recommendations to the Board, and acts as
the administrative committee with respect to Board policies and procedures,
committee policies and procedures and codes of ethics. The governance committee
charter for each of the Funds, which includes each Fund's nominating policies,
is available on Van Kampen's web site at www.vankampen.com. The Independent
Trustees of the respective Fund select and nominate any other nominee
Independent Trustees for the respective Fund. While the Independent Trustees of
the respective Fund expect to be able to continue to identify from their own
resources an ample number of qualified candidates for the Board of Trustees as
they deem appropriate, they will consider nominations from shareholders to the
Board. Nominations from shareholders should be in writing and sent to the
Independent Trustees as described below.

  During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, the Board of Trustees of VCV,
VMV, VPV, VKI, VGM, VIM, VTJ, VTN, VMO, VKL, VKQ and VOQ each held 9 meetings.

respective Board of Trustees and all committee meetings thereof of which such
Trustee was a member.

management's discretion based on the matters contained therein.

SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

Preferred Shares, where applicable, voting as a separate class, will vote on the
respective nominees designated to be elected by such class of shares. The

Meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect each nominee for Trustee
designated to be elected by the Common Shares and, where applicable, the
affirmative vote of a plurality of the Preferred Shares of each Fund present at
the Meeting in person or by proxy is required to elect each nominee for Trustee
designated to be elected by the Preferred Shares. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

  As of April 27, 2007, to the knowledge of the Funds, no shareholder owned
beneficially more than 5% of a class of a Fund's outstanding Shares. As of April
27, 2007, certain Trustees and executive officers owned, directly or
beneficially, the number of Common Shares of each Fund as set forth in Annex G.
Except as indicated on Annex G, as of April 27, 2007, the Trustees and executive
officers of the Funds individually and as a group owned less than 1% of the
outstanding Shares of each Fund. Trustees and executive officers who do not own
any Common Shares of the Funds or Funds which are not owned by any Trustee or
executive officers have been omitted from the table in Annex G. As of April 27,
2007, no Trustees or executive officers owned any Preferred Shares of the Funds.
Excluding deferred compensation balances as described in the Compensation Table,
as of April 27, 2007, each Trustee beneficially owned equity securities of the
Funds and other funds in the Fund Complex overseen by the Trustees in the dollar
range amounts as specified in Annex H. Including deferred compensation balances
as described in the Compensation Table, as of April 27, 2007, each Trustee owned
the dollar ranges of amounts of the Funds and other funds in the Fund Complex as
specified in Annex I.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

  Section 30(f) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, require each of the Funds' Trustees, officers, investment
adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more
than 10% of a registered class of the Fund's equity securities to file forms
with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange, as
applicable, reporting their affiliation with the Fund and reports of ownership
and changes in ownership of Fund Shares. These persons and entities are required
by SEC regulation to furnish the Fund with copies of all such forms they file.
Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each Fund believes that
during its last fiscal year, its Trustees, officers, Adviser and affiliated
persons of the Adviser complied with the applicable filing requirements except
that a Form 4 Filing reporting one transaction relating to common shares of VLT
on behalf of Rod Dammeyer, a Trustee of the Funds, inadvertently was not filed
in a timely manner.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  The Board of Trustees of each Fund, including a majority of the Trustees who
are not "interested persons" of each Fund (as defined by the 1940 Act), has
selected Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T") as the independent registered public
accountants to examine the financial statements for the current fiscal year of
each Fund. The selection of D&T for the current fiscal year was recommended and
approved by each Fund's audit committee and approved by each Fund's Board. Each
of the Funds knows of no direct or indirect financial interest of D&T in such
Fund.

                                        22


AUDIT AND OTHER FEES

  Each Fund and certain "covered entities" were billed the amounts listed on
Annex J by D&T during such Fund's most recent two fiscal years.

  The audit committee of each Board has considered whether the provision of non-
audit services performed by D&T to the Funds and "covered entities" is
compatible with maintaining D&T's independence in performing audit services. The
audit committee also is required to pre-approve services to "covered entities"
to the extent that the services are determined to have a direct impact on the
operations or financial reporting of the Funds and 100% of such services were
pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the audit committee's
pre-approval policies and procedures. The Board's pre-approval policies and
procedures are included as part of the Board's audit committee charter, which is
available on Van Kampen's web site at www.vankampen.com.

  It is not expected that representatives of D&T will attend the Meeting. In the
event representatives of D&T do attend the Meeting, they will have the
opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to
answer appropriate questions.

EXPENSES

  The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed form of proxy,
the accompanying Notice and this Proxy Statement and all other costs, in
connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. The
total amount of these expenses will be allocated among each of the Funds based
upon the total number of shareholders for each Fund in relation to the total
number of shareholders for all of the Funds participating in the Meeting. The
Funds will also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable
expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of
the shares of the Funds. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting,
additional solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile or
personal interview by representatives of the Funds, the Adviser or Van Kampen
Investments, by the transfer agents of the Funds, by dealers or their
representatives or by Computershare Fund Services, a solicitation firm that may
be engaged to assist in proxy solicitation at an estimated cost of approximately
$2,000 per Fund.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

  To be considered for presentation at a shareholders' meeting, rules
promulgated by the SEC generally require that, among other things, a
shareholder's proposal must be received at the offices of the relevant Fund a
reasonable time before a solicitation is made. Shareholder proposals intended to
be presented at the year 2008 annual meeting of shareholders for a Fund pursuant
to Rule 14a-8 under the

                                        23


Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), must be received by the
Fund at the Fund's principal executive offices by January 19, 2008. In order for
proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered
"timely" within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such
proposals must be received by the Fund at the Fund's principal executive offices
not later than April 4, 2008. Timely submission of a proposal does not
necessarily mean that such proposal will be included. Any shareholder who wishes
to submit a proposal for consideration at a meeting of such shareholder's Fund
should send such proposal to the respective Fund at the principal executive
offices of the Fund at 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020,
Attn: Van Kampen Asset Management General Counsel's Office.

GENERAL

  Management of each Fund does not intend to present and does not have reason to
believe that others will present any other items of business at the Meeting.
However, if other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the
proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the
persons acting under the proxies.

  A list of shareholders of each Fund entitled to be present and vote at the
Meeting will be available at the offices of the respective Fund, 1 Parkview
Plaza, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois 60181-5555, for inspection by any shareholder
during regular business hours for ten days prior to the date of the Meeting.

  Failure of a quorum to be present at the Meeting for any Fund may necessitate
adjournment and may subject such Fund to additional expense.

  IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN PERSON, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO FILL IN, SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF MAILED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
