		MUTUAL FUNDS Van Kampen Municipal Trust (VKQ)

		Privacy Notice information on the back.



		On June 1, 2010, Invesco completed its acqui-sition of Van Kampen Investments and Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business. This Trust was included in that acquisition and as of that date, became Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Trust. Please visit www.invesco.com/transition for more infor-mation or call Invesco’s Client Services team at 800-959-4246. Invesco Distributors, Inc.

Welcome, Shareholder

In this report, you’ll learn about how your investment in Van Kampen Municipal Trust performed during the semiannual period. The portfolio management team will provide an overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the factors that affected investment performance during the reporting period. In addition, this report includes the trust’s financial statements and a list of trust investments as of April 30, 2010.

Market forecasts provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass. There is no assurance that the trust will achieve its investment objective. Trusts are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the trust will decline and that the value of the trust shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this trust.

Income may subject certain individuals to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end performance figures, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial advisor. Investment returns, net asset value (NAV) and common share market price will fluctuate and trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the Trust at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. Total return assumes an investment at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions for the period in accordance with the Trust’s dividend reinvestment plan, and sale of all shares at the end of the period. The Trust’s adviser has waived or reimbursed fees and expenses from time to time, absent such waivers/ reimbursements the Trust’s returns would have been lower. Periods of less than one year are not annualized.

The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is generally representative of investment-grade, tax exempt bonds. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Trust Report

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010

Market Conditions

Economic data released during the six-month reporting period indicated that the economy was expanding, although some investors continued to question whether the recession was really behind us. The housing market continued to lag and unemployment remained high, but hints of improvement began to appear late in the period when the April labor report showed that employment in the U.S. rose by its largest monthly increase in four years. The Federal Reserve maintained their accommodative monetary policy, leaving the federal funds target rate unchanged at near zero percent, but hiked the discount rate by 25 basis points to 0.75 percent in mid-February—perhaps an indication of monetary tightening ahead.

Municipal bond market performance slowed substantially during the reporting period from the historically large returns seen in previous months. The lower rated segment of the market continued to outperform as investor demand for lower quality, higher yielding bonds grew over the course of the period. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Barclays Capital High Yield Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the non-investment grade segment of the market) gained 6.70 percent while the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the benchmark for the investment grade segment) gained 3.68 percent. Overall, longer maturity issues outperformed those with shorter maturities. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, long bonds (those with maturities of 22 years or more) returned 5.09 percent while five-year bonds returned 3.22 percent, as measured by the respective Barclays Capital municipal bond indexes.

With regard to sectors, hospital bonds and tobacco bonds were among the top performers, outpacing the broad municipal market as rising demand for these lower quality issues helped boost returns. Revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds amid media reports of municipalities’ general financial weakness and ongoing weakness in tax collections.

Demand for municipal bonds overall remained steady, with approximately $24 billion flowing into municipal bond funds during the period. New issue supply remained relatively stable as well, totaling roughly $205 billion. However, 25 percent of that total issuance was in taxable Build America Bonds, thereby limiting the supply of traditional tax-exempt bonds. This has helped buoy tax-exempt bond prices and the relative value of municipal bonds overall versus other fixed income sectors.

Performance Analysis

The Trust’s return can be calculated based upon either the market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding, while market price reflects the supply and demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ, as they did during the reporting period. On an NAV basis and a market price basis, the Trust outperformed the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index (the “Index”).

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate and Trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See Performance Summary for additional performance information and index definition.

The primary contributors to the Trust’s performance for the reporting period included the following:


•	Exposure to BBB rated and non-rated bonds was additive to performance. Spreads on these issues tightened during the period, helping them to outperform higher quality issues.

•	Holdings in the health care, industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (IDR/PCR), and tobacco sectors boosted returns as these sectors outperformed the broad municipal bond market for the period.

•	The portfolio’s exposure on the long end of the municipal yield curve was also advantageous as longer maturities issues outperformed shorter maturity issues.

Other positions, however, were less advantageous:


•	Exposure to pre-refunded bonds detracted from performance. Pre-refunded bonds are short-maturity securities and therefore underperformed for the period.

•	The portfolio’s holdings in lease-backed bonds also hindered performance as these issues underperformed essential service bonds.

The Trustees have approved a procedure whereby the Trust may, when appropriate, repurchase its shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or NAV, whichever is lower at the time of purchase. This may help support the market value of the Trust’s shares.

Market Outlook

Looking ahead, we expect municipal bonds may outperform other sectors of the fixed income market due to the prospect of higher income tax rates in the future as well as the reduction in supply of tax-exempt paper as municipalities continue to issue taxable Build America Bonds. There is some pressure, however, for municipal yields to rise, particularly on the front end of the yield curve, as the Federal Reserve continues to maintain their inflation-fighting status. We expect lower quality bonds will continue to outperform higher grade bonds as the economic recovery continues.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Trust in the future.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval

On June 1, 2010, Invesco Ltd., an independent global investment management company, completed its purchase of substantially all of the retail asset management business of Morgan Stanley, including the investment adviser and certain other affiliated service providers to most of the Van Kampen funds (including the Fund) (the “Transaction”). As described in more detail below, in connection with the Transaction, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a new investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”), a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., and a new master investment sub-advisory agreement with several of Invesco Ltd.’s wholly-owned affiliates (collectively, the “New Advisory Agreements”). Shareholders approved the New Advisory Agreements at a special meeting of shareholders held on April 16, 2010 to become effective upon closing of the Transaction. Thus, effective June 1, 2010, the Fund’s investment adviser, investment sub-advisers and certain other service providers are affiliates of Invesco Ltd. The Transaction did not result in any change to the Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies or the Fund’s portfolio management team.

Prior to the Transaction, the investment adviser for the Fund was Van Kampen Asset Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc. (“Van Kampen Investments”), which was an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley. As a result of the Transaction, the asset management business of Van Kampen Investments was combined with that of Invesco.

At several in-person and telephonic meetings held in August, September, October, November and December 2009, the Board discussed and ultimately approved the New Advisory Agreements. At these meetings, the Board considered information provided by Morgan Stanley, Van Kampen Investments and Invesco regarding, among other things: Invesco’s organization and personnel; business strategy; ownership structure; financial strength; affiliations (including other asset management affiliations); asset management practices and capabilities; legal and regulatory matters; and compliance matters. Emphasis during these meetings focused on Invesco being a global investment management leader with momentum in the U.S. retail market, and that the combination of Invesco and Morgan Stanley’s retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments, can bring additional value to the Fund’s shareholders. The parties discussed Invesco’s independence as a publicly traded entity, its strategic focus solely on the investment management business (including Invesco’s investment reputation, broad product line, service quality, industry relationships and objective of putting investors’ interests first) and its significant depth in resources, diversification, performance and experience. The parties discussed how the current Invesco and Van Kampen Investments businesses compare and complement each other and the synergies of the combined organization which management believes will benefit the Fund’s shareholders. The parties discussed aligning the Fund and other funds then advised by Van Kampen Asset Management together with other funds and products currently advised by Invesco and its affiliates towards using a single, common operating platform (which includes, among other things, common investment operating platforms, common global

performance measurement and risk analysis, and common compliance policies and procedures). At these meetings the Board also discussed, in addition to the New Advisory Agreements, the expectation that Invesco and its affiliates would provide the Fund with administrative and client servicing services that were currently provided by Van Kampen Investments and its affiliates. The parties discussed these other services, and efforts to capitalize on synergy opportunities from combined scale for the benefit of shareholders, leveraging operating best practices across the organization and commitment to quality services. The members of the Board who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, conferred separately with their counsel and a consultant (each engaged specifically in connection with their review of the Transaction) about the Transaction on several occasions during the meetings conducted from August through December 2009.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the New Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other things, the factors discussed above as well as the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided. The Board considered the roles and responsibilities of the investment adviser (and its affiliates) as a whole and those specific to portfolio management, support and trading functions anticipated to be servicing the Fund. The Board noted that the current portfolio management team for the Fund is expected to remain the same under the New Advisory Agreements. The Trustees discussed with Invesco the resources available in managing the Fund. The Trustees also discussed certain other services that are to be provided by Invesco or its affiliates to the Fund including subadvisory services, certain global performance measurement and risk analysis, compliance, accounting, and administrative services. The Board has determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Invesco (and its affiliates) support its decision to approve the New Advisory Agreements.

Projected Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board considered that the advisory fee rate for the Fund would remain the same under the New Advisory Agreements as they are under the current advisory agreement. The Board had previously determined that such fees were acceptable under the current advisory agreement. The Board has determined that the projected fees and expenses of the Fund support its decision to approve the New Advisory Agreements.

Investment Adviser’s Expenses in Providing the Service and Profitability. At least annually, the Trustees expect to review Invesco’s expenses in providing services to the Fund and other funds advised by Invesco and the profitability of Invesco. In connection with the Fund, the Trustees discussed with Invesco its projected revenues and expenses, including among other things, revenues for advisory services, portfolio management-related expenses, and other costs. The Board has determined that the analysis of Invesco’s projected expenses and profitability support its decision to approve the New Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that economies of scale were already reflected in the advisory fees. In future determinations of whether to approve the continuation

of the advisory agreement, the Board will consider whether economies of scale exist and should be passed along to shareholders.

Other Benefits of the Relationship. The Board considered other benefits to Invesco and its affiliates derived from its relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by Invesco. These benefits include, among other things, fees for administrative services (which is reimbursement of Invesco’s cost or such reasonable compensation as may be approved by the Board), transfer agency services provided to other funds in the fund family, in certain cases research to be received by Invesco or its affiliates generated from commission dollars spent on funds’ portfolio trading, and in certain cases distribution or service related fees related to sales of other funds in the fund family. The Trustees reviewed with Invesco each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of its costs relative to the services performed. The Board has determined that the other benefits received by Invesco or its affiliates support its decision to approve the New Advisory Agreements.

Van Kampen Municipal Trust

Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen Municipal Trust (the “Trust”) is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust will invest in a portfolio consisting substantially of municipal obligations rated investment grade at the time of investment, but may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated securities which are believed to be of comparable quality to those rated investment grade. The Trust commenced investment operations on September 27, 1991.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification^TM(ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Trust appropriately updated relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.

A. Security Valuation Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Factors considered in making this determination may include, but are not limited to, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysts, or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), analysis of the issuer’s financial statements or other available documents and, if necessary, available information concerning other securities in similar circumstances. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) (formerly known as FAS 157), defines fair value as the price that the Trust would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the

Van Kampen Municipal Trust
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited) continued

reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Trust’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.


Level 1—	quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2—	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3—	significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

C. Security Transactions Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The Trust may purchase and sell securities on a “when-issued” or “delayed delivery” basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Trust will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At April 30, 2010, the Trust had 1,163,250 of when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

D. Investment Income Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security.

E. Federal Income Taxes It is the Trust’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. Management has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If applicable, the Trust recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Trust files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and in various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended October 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The Trust intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At October 31, 2009, the Trust had an

Van Kampen Municipal Trust
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited) continued

accumulated capital loss carry forward for tax purposes of $67,585,843, which will expire according to the following schedule:


Amount		Expiration

$	929,222		October 31, 2010
	2,903,782		October 31, 2012
	593,665		October 31, 2014
	6,620,583		October 31, 2015
	34,152,213		October 31, 2016
	22,386,378		October 31, 2017

A portion of the capital loss carry forward above was acquired due to a merger with another regulated investment company and is subject to annual limitations.

At April 30, 2010, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:


Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	722,287,330

Gross tax unrealized appreciation	$	37,938,438
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(33,643,958	)

Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments	$	4,294,480

F. Distribution of Income and Gains The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income to common shareholders. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed at least annually on a pro rata basis to common and preferred shareholders. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2009 were as follows:


Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	62,715
Tax exempt income		35,004,747

	$	35,067,462

As of October 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	145,140
Undistributed tax-exempt income		12,223,144

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.

G. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Trust enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual

Van Kampen Municipal Trust
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited) continued

interests in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Trust to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Trust enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Trust to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Trust, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Trust accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Trust’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Trust’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At April 30, 2010, Trust investments with a value of $201,592,893 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $115,555,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at April 30, 2010 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest and fee rate related to residual interests during the six months ended April 30, 2010 were $116,068,589 and 0.80%, respectively.

H. Reporting Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of any subsequent events through the date the financial statements were effectively issued. Management has determined that other than the event described in Note 9, there are no material events or transactions that would affect the Trust’s financial statements or require disclosure in the Trust’s financial statements through this date.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Trust for and annual fee payable monthly of 0.55% of the average daily net assets including current preferred shares and leverage of $113,750,000 entered into to retire previously issued preferred shares of the Trust. The Adviser has agreed to waive investment advisory fees equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets including current preferred shares and leverage of $113,750,000 entered into to retire previously issued preferred shares of the Trust. During the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Adviser waived approximately $414,400 of its advisory fees. This waiver is voluntary and can be discontinued at any time.

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $23,200 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, of which a trustee of the Trust is a partner of such firm and he and his law firm provide legal services as legal counsel to the Trust.

Van Kampen Municipal Trust
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited) continued

Under separate Legal Services, Accounting Services and Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) Employment agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services and the CCO provides compliance services to the Trust. The costs of these services are allocated to each trust. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $77,200 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Trust, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Trust does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.

The Trust provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Trust. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500. Pursuant to the closing of the transaction as described in Note 9, the deferred compensation and retirement plans were terminated and amounts owed to the trustees were distributed on May 27, 2010.

3. Capital Transactions

For the six months ended April 30, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009, transactions in common shares were as follows:


	Six Months Ended		Year Ended
	April 30, 2010		October 31, 2009

Beginning Shares		38,902,185		38,856,411
Shares Issued Through Dividend Reinvestment		44,690		54,374
Shares Repurchased *		0		(8,600	)

Ending Shares		38,946,875		38,902,185


*		The Trust has a share repurchase program for purposes of enhancing stockholder value and reducing the discount at which the Trust’s shares trade from its net asset value. For the six months ended April 30, 2010 and the year ended October 31, 2009, the Trust repurchased 0 and 8,600, respectively of its shares at an average discount of 0% and 11.28%, respectively from net asset value per share. The Trust expects to continue to repurchase its outstanding shares at such time and in such amounts as it believes such activity will further the accomplishment of the foregoing objectives, subject to review of the Trustees.

4. Investment Transactions

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $43,923,262 and $70,961,906, respectively.

5. Inverse Floating Rate Securities

The Trust may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate municipal securities, which are variable debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of

Van Kampen Municipal Trust
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited) continued

prevailing interest rates. These investments are typically used by the Trust in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio, or used as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem a portion of Trust’s preferred shares. Inverse floating rate investments tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate investments have varying degrees of liquidity. Inverse floating rate securities in which the Trust may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds (“RIBs”) or tender option bonds (“TOBs”). Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust that holds long-term fixed rate bonds (which may be tendered by the Trust in certain instances) and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Trust. The short-term floating rate interests have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust and the Trust is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the special purpose trust.

The Trust generally invests in inverse floating rate investments that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floating rate investment generally will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment. The extent of increases and decreases in the value of inverse floating rate investments generally will be larger than changes in an equal principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Trust’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate investments.

In certain instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed. In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that obligation.

6. Preferred Shares

The Trust has outstanding 8,450 Auction Preferred Shares (APS). Series A contains 1,950 shares, Series B contains 1,950 shares, Series C contains 1,950 shares, Series D contains 1,950 shares and Series E contains 650 shares. Dividends are cumulative and the dividend rates are generally reset every 7 days for Series A and Series C, while Series B, Series D, and Series E are generally reset every 28 days through an auction process. Beginning on February 12, 2008, and continuing through April 30, 2010, all series of preferred shares of the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the dividend rates of these preferred shares were reset to the maximum applicable rate on APS. The average rate in effect on April 30, 2010 was 0.237%. During the six months ended April 30, 2010, the rates ranged from 0.033% to 0.287%.

Historically, the Trust paid annual fees equivalent to 0.25% of the preferred share liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auction. Effective March 16, 2009, the Trust decreased this amount to 0.15% due to auction failures. In the future, if auctions no longer fail, the Trust may return to an annual fee payment of 0.25% of

Van Kampen Municipal Trust
Notes to Financial Statements n April 30, 2010 (Unaudited) continued

the preferred share liquidation value. These fees are included as a component of “Preferred Share Maintenance” expense on the Statement of Operations.

The APS are redeemable at the option of the Trust in whole or in part at the liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Trust is subject to certain asset coverage tests and the APS are subject to mandatory redemption if the tests are not met.

The Trust entered into additional inverse floating rate securities as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem and retire a portion of its preferred shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, transactions in preferred shares were as follows:


	Series A						Series B						Series C						Series D						Series E
	Shares			Value			Shares			Value			Shares			Value			Shares			Value			Shares			Value

Outstanding at October 31, 2009		2,100			52,500,000			2,250			56,250,000			2,100			52,500,000			2,250			56,250,000			750			18,750,000
Amount Retired		(150	)		(3,750,000	)		(300	)		(7,500,000	)		(150	)		(3,750,000	)		(300	)		(7,500,000	)		(100	)		(2,500,000	)

Outstanding at April 30, 2010		1,950			48,750,000			1,950			48,750,000			1,950			48,750,000			1,950			48,750,000			650			16,250,000

7. Line of Credit

Several Van Kampen municipal funds, including the Trust, entered into a $150,000,000 joint revolving bank credit facility. The purpose of the facility is to provide availability of funds for short-term liquidity purposes. The Trust had no borrowings under the facility during the six months ended April 30, 2010.

8. Indemnifications

The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

9. Subsequent Event

On June 1, 2010, Invesco Ltd., a leading independent global investment management company, completed its purchase of substantially all of the retail asset management business of Morgan Stanley, including the investment adviser and certain other affiliated service providers to most of the Van Kampen funds (including the Trust) (the “Transaction”). In contemplation of the Transaction, at a special meeting of shareholders held on April 16, 2010, shareholders of the Trust approved a new investment advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., and a new master investment sub-advisory agreement with several of Invesco Ltd.’s wholly-owned affiliates. Thus, effective June 1, 2010, the Trust’s investment adviser, investment sub-advisers and certain other service providers are affiliates of Invesco Ltd. As of the same date, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees appointed, and the Board of Trustees ratified thereafter and approved, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Trust. In addition, effective June 1, 2010, the Trust has changed its name to “Invesco Van Kampen Municipal Trust”. The Transaction does not result in any change to the Trust’s investment objective, principal investment strategies or the Trust’s portfolio management team.

10. Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860). The objective of ASC 860 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.

ASC 860 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of ASC 860 must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of ASC 860 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of ASC 860. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASC 860 and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and disclosures, if any.

On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed. Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1 and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and the impact it will have on financial statement disclosures.
