    In this report, you&#146;ll learn about how your investment in
    Van&#160;Kampen High Income Trust&#160;II performed during the

    overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the
    factors that affected investment performance during the

    trust&#146;s financial statements and a list of trust

    <B>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 trust
    shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them.
    Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this trust.</B>

    Although the bond market was highly volatile throughout the
    reporting year, by all accounts the third and fourth quarters of
    the year marked a watershed for the credit markets. In
    September, the announcement that the federal government was
    placing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship and
    shortly thereafter, that Lehman Brothers was filing for
    bankruptcy sparked a downward spiral in the market that
    accelerated at an alarming pace. Investor confidence plummeted
    as several other financial institutions were forced into
    mergers, rescued by the government, or failed altogether.
    Government officials took unprecedented steps to fortify the
    precarious financial system, including the passage of the
    Troubled Asset Relief Plan (TARP) and several reductions in the
    target federal funds rate. By year end, however, these efforts
    had seemingly brought little relief to the fear-driven markets.
    Investor confidence was further undermined by news that the
    economy had, in fact, been in recession since the start of the
    year.

    Investors fled riskier assets for the relative safety of
    Treasury securities and cash, causing credit spreads to
    dramatically widen. This flight to quality, the weakening
    economy, and forced liquidations in the market led to the worst
    quarterly performance on record for the high yield sector in the
    last quarter of 2008, despite a significant rally in the second
    half of December. During the quarter, high yield spreads widened
    by 720&#160;basis points to end the year at 1,784&#160;basis
    points over Treasuries, while the yield to maturity of the
    Barclays Capital U.S.&#160;Corporate High Yield 2%&#160;Issuer
    Cap Index rose 582&#160;basis points to 19.50&#160;percent.
    Industry returns varied considerably but all sectors of the high
    yield market had negative returns for the year. Environmental,
    wireless and health care were the top-performing sectors and
    real estate investment trusts (REITs), gaming and media were the
    worst performers. As is typical in a down market, the higher
    quality segment of the market outperformed the lower quality
    segment.

    The Trust&#146;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&#146;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 both an NAV and a
    market price basis, the Trust underperformed the Barclays
    Capital U.S.&#160;Corporate High Yield 2%&#160;Issuer Cap Index
    (&#147;the Index&#148;).

    The Trust had an allocation to mortgage securities, which are
    not included in the Index. The fundamentals of the mortgage
    market deteriorated as delinquencies rose and home prices
    declined and therefore, the portfolio&#146;s holdings in the
    sector detracted from relative performance. This position was
    eliminated, however, early in the fourth quarter of the year.
    The Trust held an overweight allocation to the gaming sector
    relative to the Index, which also hindered performance as the
    sector turned in the second-worst returns in the high-yield
    market for the year.

    Other positions, however, were additive to performance. The
    Trust was positioned more defensively throughout the year, with
    a focus on larger, more liquid companies and less exposure to
    the riskiest segment of the market, which was beneficial to
    performance given the risk-averse environment and
    underperformance of lower-rated securities. Additionally, an
    underweight to building product/home builders was advantageous
    given the sector&#146;s poor performance, as was an overweight
    to health care, one of the best performing sectors.

    Despite the rally in the second half of December, spread, yield
    and price levels in the high yield market at year end were at
    levels much worse than those seen in the last two recessions,
    and appeared to reflect expectations for a period of record
    defaults. As such, we believe there will be considerable
    opportunities in the high yield market once the perception
    emerges that the economy is headed in a positive direction. We
    are poised to move the portfolio more aggressively in 2009 to
    take advantage of this potential opportunity.

    value or NAV, whichever is lower at the time of purchase. This

    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 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.

    <B><I>A.&#160;Security Valuation</I></B>&#160;Investments are
    stated at value using market quotations or indications of value
    obtained from an independent pricing service. For those
    securities where quotations or prices are not readily available,
    valuations are obtained from yield data relating to instruments
    or securities with similar characteristics in accordance with
    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&#146;s
    financial statements or other available documents and, if
    necessary, available information concerning other securities in
    similar circumstances. Futures contracts are valued at the
    settlement price established each day on the exchange on which
    they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining maturities
    of 60&#160;days or less are valued at amortized cost, which
    approximates market value.

    The Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
    of Financial Accounting Standards No.&#160;157, <I>Fair Value
    Measurements</I> (FAS&#160;157), effective January&#160;1, 2008.
    In accordance with FAS&#160;157, fair value is defined 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. FAS&#160;157 establishes a three-tier
    hierarchy to distinguish between (1)&#160;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)&#160;inputs that reflect the reporting entity&#146;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&#146;s investments. The inputs are summarized
    in the three broad levels listed below.

    holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market
    each day with the change in value reflected in the unrealized
    appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or

    security underlying a futures contract. In these instances, the
    recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of
    the security underlying the futures contract. Risks may arise as
    a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to

    The Trust may enter into credit default swap contracts, a type
    of credit derivative, for hedging purposes or to gain exposure
    to a credit or index of credits in which the Trust may otherwise
    invest. A credit default swap is an agreement between two
    parties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer or index of
    issuers. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy
    protection by paying periodic fees in return for a contingent
    payment from the seller if the issuer has a credit event such as
    bankruptcy, a failure to pay outstanding obligations or
    deteriorating credit while the swap is outstanding. A seller of
    a credit default swap is said to sell protection and thus
    collects the periodic fees and profits if the credit of the
    issuer remains stable or improves while the swap is outstanding.
    The seller in a credit default swap contract would be required
    to pay an
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">agreed-upon</FONT>
    amount, to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event of
    the issuer. This
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">agreed-upon</FONT>
    amount approximates the notional amount of the swap as disclosed

    estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the
    seller could be required to make under the credit default swap
    contract. In the event of an adverse credit event, the seller
    generally does not have any contractual remedies against the
    issuer or any other third party. However, if a physical
    settlement is elected, the seller would receive the defaulted
    credit and, as a result, become a creditor of the issuer.

    The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in
    the table following the Portfolio of Investments and serves as
    an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance
    risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for credit default
    swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and
    current values serve as an indicator of the current status of
    the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative.
    Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in
    absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a
    greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.

    The Trust may also enter into interest rate swaps primarily to
    preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or
    portion of its portfolio, as a duration management technique or
    to protect against any increase in the price of securities the
    Trust anticipates purchasing at a later date. Interest rate
    swaps are contractual agreements to exchange interest payments
    calculated on a predetermined notional principal amount.
    Interest rate swaps generally involve one party paying a fixed
    interest rate and the other party paying a variable rate. The
    Trust will usually enter into interest rate swaps on a net
    basis, i.e, the two payments are netted out in a cash settlement
    on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with
    the Trust receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net
    amount of the two payments. The Trust accrues the net amount
    with respect to each interest rate swap on a daily basis. This
    net amount is recorded within unrealized
    appreciation/depreciation on swap contracts. Upon cash
    settlement of the payments, the net amount is recorded as
    realized gain/loss on swap contracts on the Statement of
    Operations. Risks may arise as a result of the potential
    inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their
    contracts.

    Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and
    there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps.
    Therefore, swaps are subject to the risk of default or
    non-performance by the counterparty. If there is a default by
    the counterparty to a swap agreement, the Trust will have
    contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the
    transaction. Counterparties are required to pledge collateral
    daily (based on the valuation of each swap) on behalf of the
    Trust with a value approximately equal to the amount of any
    unrealized gain. Reciprocally, when the Trust has an unrealized
    loss on a swap contract, the Trust has instructed the custodian
    to pledge cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value
    approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss.
    Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if
    and when the swap valuations fluctuate. Cash collateral is
    disclosed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments.
    Cash collateral has been offset against open swap contracts
    under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.&#160;39

    Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk&#151;the risk
    that, as mortgage interest rates fall, borrowers will refinance
    and &#147;prepay&#148; principal. A trust holding mortgage
    securities that are experiencing prepayments will have to
    reinvest these payments at lower prevailing interest rates. On
    the other hand, when interest rates rise, borrowers are less
    likely to refinance resulting in lower prepayments. This can
    effectively extend the maturity of a Trust&#146;s mortgage
    securities resulting in greater price volatility. It can be
    difficult to measure precisely the remaining life of a mortgage
    security or the average life of a portfolio of such securities.

    To the extent a trust invests in mortgage securities offered by
    non-governmental issuers, such as commercial banks, savings and
    loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies,
    mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers, the Trust
    may be subject to additional risks. Timely payment of interest
    and principal of non-governmental issuers are supported by
    various forms of private insurance or guarantees, including
    individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance purchased by

    An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a
    mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage
    backed security and could result in losses to a trust. The risk
    of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage
    pools that include subprime mortgages. Subprime mortgages refer
    to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or
    with a lower capacity to make timely payment on their mortgages.

    remarketing date, the Trust would be required to pay the maximum
    applicable rate on APS to holders of such shares for successive
    dividend periods until such time when the shares are

    150% of the applicable commercial paper rate on the date. The

    No.&#160;161, <I>Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the

    standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
    reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
    financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The
    Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
    an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our
    audits included consideration of internal control over financial
    reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
    appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
    expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust&#146;s
    internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we
    express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
    test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
    the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
    used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
    evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our
    procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
    December&#160;31, 2008, by correspondence with the Trust&#146;s
    custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
    for our opinion.

    There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting dividends and
    capital gains distributions because the Plan&#146;s fees are
    paid by the Fund. However, when applicable, you will pay your
    portion of any brokerage commissions incurred when the new
    shares are purchased on the open market. These brokerage
    commissions are typically less than the standard brokerage
    charges for individual transactions, because shares are
    purchased for all participants in blocks, resulting in lower
    commissions for each individual participant. Any brokerage
    commissions or service fees are averaged into the purchase price.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>1. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee of the Board is required to review and, in its sole discretion,
pre-approve all Covered Services to be provided by the Independent Auditors to the Fund and Covered
Entities in order to assure that services performed by the Independent Auditors do not impair the
auditor&#146;s independence from the Fund.<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">2</SUP>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The SEC has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not
provide to its audit client, as well as the audit committee&#146;s administration of the engagement of
the independent auditor. The SEC&#146;s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving
services, which the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either: may be
pre-approved without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Audit Committee
(&#147;<U>general pre-approval</U>&#148;); or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee
(&#147;<U>specific pre-approval</U>&#148;). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two
approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve
services performed by the Independent Auditors. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of
service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval authority has been
delegated) if it is to be provided by the Independent Auditors. Any proposed services exceeding
pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit
Committee.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are
consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider
whether the Independent Auditors are best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient
services, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Fund&#146;s business, people, culture, accounting
systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Fund&#146;s ability
to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole,
and no one factor should necessarily be determinative.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee is also mindful of the relationship between fees for audit and non-audit
services in deciding whether to pre-approve any such services and may determine for each fiscal
year, the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit, Audit-related and Tax
services for the Fund (including any Audit-related or Tax service fees for Covered Entities that
were subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit
services classified as All Other services for the Fund (including any such services for Covered
Entities subject to pre-approval).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services
that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is
12&nbsp;months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers and provides a
different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the
services that may be provided by the Independent Auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval

pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the policy and procedures by which the Audit
Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee&#146;s
responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the Independent Auditors to management.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Fund&#146;s Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of
the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent Auditors&#146; independence.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>2. Delegation</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As provided in the Act and the SEC&#146;s rules, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of
pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is
delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit
Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>3. Audit Services</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific pre-approval
of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit and other
procedures required to be performed by the Independent Auditors to be able to form an opinion on
the Fund&#146;s financial statements. These other procedures include information systems and procedural
reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal
control, and consultations relating to the audit. The Audit Committee will monitor the Audit
services engagement as necessary, but no less than on a quarterly basis, and will also approve, if
necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Fund
structure or other items.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit
Committee may grant general pre-approval to other Audit services, which are those services that
only the Independent Auditors reasonably can provide. Other Audit services may include statutory
audits and services associated with SEC registration statements (on Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, N-4,
etc.), periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in
connection with securities offerings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix&nbsp;B.1. All other Audit
services not listed in Appendix&nbsp;B.1 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by
any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>4. Audit-related Services</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the
performance of the audit or review of the Fund&#146;s financial statements or, to the extent they are
Covered Services, the Covered Entities&#146; financial statements, or that are traditionally performed
by the Independent Auditors. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of
Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the
SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to
Audit-related services. Audit-related services include, among others, accounting consultations
related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as &#147;Audit
services&#148;; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting
guidance from rulemaking authorities; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to
accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or
regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under
Forms N-SAR and/or N-CSR.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in Appendix&nbsp;B.2. All other
Audit-related services not listed in Appendix&nbsp;B.2 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit
Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>5. Tax Services</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee believes that the Independent Auditors can provide Tax services to the
Fund and, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered Entities, such as tax compliance,
tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor&#146;s independence, and the SEC has stated
that the Independent Auditors may provide such services. Hence, the Audit Committee believes it may
grant general pre-approval to those Tax services that have historically been provided by the
Independent Auditors, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the
independence of the Independent Auditors, and that are consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor
independence. The Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the Independent Auditors in
connection with a transaction initially recommended by the Independent Auditors, the sole business
purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the
Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee will consult with Director of
Tax or outside counsel to determine that the tax planning and reporting positions are consistent
with this policy.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax Services in
Appendix&nbsp;B.3. All Tax services involving large and complex transactions not listed in Appendix&nbsp;B.3
must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee (or by any member of the Audit Committee
to which pre-approval has been delegated), including tax services proposed to be provided by the
Independent Auditors to any executive officer or trustee/director/managing general partner of the
Fund, in his or her individual capacity, where such services are paid for by the Fund (generally
applicable only to internally managed investment companies).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>6. All Other Services</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC&#146;s rules prohibiting the Independent Auditors
from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted.
Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible
non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring
services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules
on auditor independence.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix&nbsp;B.4. Permissible All
Other services not listed in Appendix&nbsp;B.4 must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee
(or by any member of the Audit Committee to which pre-approval has been delegated).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A list of the SEC&#146;s prohibited non-audit services is attached to this policy as Appendix&nbsp;B.5.
The SEC&#146;s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of
these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>7. Pre-Approval Fee Levels or Budgeted Amounts</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided by the Independent
Auditors will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding
these levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee is mindful of the overall relationship of fees for audit and non-audit services in
determining whether to pre-approve any such services. For each fiscal year, the Audit Committee may
determine the appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit, Audit-related, and Tax
services for the Fund (including any Audit-related or Tax services fees for Covered Entities
subject to pre-approval), and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services
classified as All Other services for the Fund (including any such services for Covered Entities
subject to pre-approval).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All requests or applications for services to be provided by the Independent Auditors that do
not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Fund&#146;s Chief
Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The
Fund&#146;s Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of
services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the Independent Auditors.
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee
will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the Independent Auditors and the Fund&#146;s Chief
Financial Officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or
application is consistent with the SEC&#146;s rules on auditor independence.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee has designated the Fund&#146;s Chief Financial Officer to monitor the
performance of all services provided by the Independent Auditors and to determine whether such
services are in compliance with this Policy. The Fund&#146;s Chief Financial Officer will report to the
Audit Committee on a periodic basis on the results of its monitoring. A sample report is included
as Appendix&nbsp;B.7. Both the Fund&#146;s Chief Financial Officer and management will immediately report to
the chairman of the Audit Committee any breach of this Policy that comes to the attention of the
Fund&#146;s Chief Financial Officer or any member of management.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>9. Additional Requirements</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its
responsibility to oversee the work of the Independent Auditors and to assure the auditor&#146;s
independence from the Fund, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the Independent
Auditors delineating all relationships between the Independent Auditors and the Fund, consistent
with Independence Standards Board No.&nbsp;1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors its methods
and procedures for ensuring independence.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>10. Covered Entities</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Covered Entities include the Fund&#146;s investment adviser(s) and any entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Fund&#146;s investment adviser(s) that provides ongoing
services to the Fund(s). Beginning with non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May&nbsp;6,
2003, the Fund&#146;s audit committee must pre-approve non-audit services provided not only to the Fund
but also to the Covered Entities if the engagements relate directly to the operations and financial
reporting of the Fund. This list of Covered Entities would include:

voting proxies (&#147;Policy&#148;) with respect to securities held in the accounts of clients applies to
those MSIM entities that provide discretionary investment management services and for which an MSIM
entity has authority to vote proxies. This Policy is reviewed and updated as necessary to address
new and evolving proxy voting issues and standards.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The MSIM entities covered by this Policy currently include the following: Morgan Stanley Investment
Advisors Inc., Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., Morgan Stanley
Investment Management Limited, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Company, Morgan Stanley Asset &#038;
Investment Trust Management Co., Limited, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Private Limited, Van

referred to as the &#147;MSIM Affiliates&#148; or as &#147;we&#148; below).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Each MSIM Affiliate will use its best efforts to vote proxies as part of its authority to manage,
acquire and dispose of account assets. With respect to the MSIM registered management investment
companies (Van Kampen, Institutional and Advisor Funds &#151; collectively referred to herein as the
&#147;MSIM Funds&#148;), each MSIM Affiliate will vote proxies under this Policy pursuant to authority
granted under its applicable investment advisory agreement or, in the absence of such authority, as
authorized by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the MSIM Funds. An MSIM Affiliate will not vote
proxies if the &#147;named fiduciary&#148; for an ERISA account has reserved the authority for itself, or in
the case of an account not governed by ERISA, the investment management or investment advisory
agreement does not authorize the MSIM Affiliate to vote proxies. MSIM Affiliates will vote proxies

and participants in a client&#146;s benefit plan(s) for which the MSIM Affiliates manage assets,
consistent with the objective of maximizing long-term investment returns (&#147;Client Proxy Standard&#148;).
In certain situations, a client or its fiduciary may provide an MSIM Affiliate with a proxy voting
policy. In these situations, the MSIM Affiliate will comply with the client&#146;s policy.

Research Services </U>&#151; RiskMetrics Group ISS Governance Services (&#147;ISS&#148;) and Glass Lewis
(together with other proxy research providers as we may retain from time to time, the &#147;Research
Providers&#148;) are independent advisers that specialize in providing a variety of fiduciary-level
proxy-related services to institutional investment managers, plan sponsors, custodians,
consultants, and other institutional investors. The services provided include in-depth research,
global issuer analysis, and voting recommendations. While we may review and utilize the
recommendations of the Research Providers in making proxy voting decisions, we are in no way
obligated to follow such recommendations. In addition to research, ISS provides vote execution,
reporting, and recordkeeping.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Voting Proxies for Certain Non-U.S. Companies </U>&#151; Voting proxies of companies located in some
jurisdictions, particularly emerging markets, may involve several problems that can restrict or
prevent the ability to vote such proxies or entail significant costs. These problems include, but
are not limited to: (i)&nbsp;proxy statements and ballots being written in a language other than
English; (ii)&nbsp;untimely and/or inadequate notice of shareholder meetings; (iii)&nbsp;restrictions on the
ability of holders outside the issuer&#146;s jurisdiction of organization to exercise votes; (iv)
requirements to vote proxies in person; (v)&nbsp;the imposition of restrictions on the sale of the
securities for a period of time in proximity to the shareholder meeting; and (vi)&nbsp;requirements to
provide local agents with power of attorney to facilitate our voting instructions. As a result, we
vote clients&#146; non-U.S. proxies on a best efforts basis only, after weighing the costs and benefits
of voting such proxies, consistent with the Client Proxy Standard. ISS has been retained to
provide assistance in connection with voting non-U.S. proxies.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>II. </B><U><B>GENERAL PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES</B></U>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To promote consistency in voting proxies on behalf of its clients, we follow this Policy (subject
to any exception set forth herein), including the guidelines set forth below. These guidelines
address a broad range of issues, and provide general voting parameters on proposals that arise most
frequently. However, details of specific proposals vary, and those details affect particular
voting decisions, as do factors specific to a given company. Pursuant to the procedures set forth
herein, we may vote in a manner that is not in accordance with the following general guidelines,
provided the vote is approved by the Proxy Review Committee (see Section&nbsp;III for description) and
is consistent with the Client Proxy Standard. Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP will follow the procedures
as described in Appendix&nbsp;A.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We endeavor to integrate governance and proxy voting policy with investment goals and to follow the
Client Proxy Standard for each client. At times, this may result in split votes, for example when
different clients have varying economic interests in the outcome of a particular voting matter
(such as a case in which varied ownership interests in two companies involved in a merger result in
different stakes in the outcome). We also may split votes at times based on differing views of
portfolio managers, but such a split vote must be approved by the Proxy Review Committee.

authority within a given market (e.g., New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq rules for
most U.S. companies, and The Combined Code on Corporate Governance in the United
Kingdom). Thus, for an NYSE company with no controlling shareholder, we would
expect that at a minimum a majority of directors should be independent as defined
by NYSE. Where we view market standards as inadequate, we may withhold votes based
on stronger independence standards. Market standards notwithstanding, we generally
do not view long board tenure alone as a basis to classify a director as
non-independent, although lack of board turnover and fresh perspective can be a
negative factor in voting on directors.</TD>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The MSIM Proxy Review Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;) has overall responsibility for creating and
implementing the Policy, working with an MSIM staff group (the &#147;Corporate Governance Team&#148;). The
Committee, which is appointed by MSIM&#146;s Chief Investment Officer of Global Equities (&#147;CIO&#148;),
consists of senior investment professionals who represent the different investment disciplines and
geographic locations of the firm. Because proxy voting is an investment responsibility and impacts
shareholder value, and because of their knowledge of companies and markets, portfolio managers and
other members of investment staff play a key role in proxy voting, although the Committee has final
authority over proxy votes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Committee Chairperson is the head of the Corporate Governance Team, and is responsible for
identifying issues that require Committee deliberation or ratification. The Corporate Governance
Team, working with advice of investment teams and the Committee, is responsible for voting on
routine items and on matters that can be addressed in line with these Policy guidelines. The
Corporate Governance Team has responsibility for voting case-by-case where guidelines and precedent
provide adequate guidance, and to refer other case-by-case decisions to the Proxy Review Committee.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Committee will periodically review and have the authority to amend, as necessary, the Policy
and establish and direct voting positions consistent with the Client Proxy Standard.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Committee will meet at least monthly to (among other matters) address any outstanding issues
relating to the Policy or its implementation. The Corporate Governance Team will timely communicate
to ISS MSIM&#146;s Policy (and any amendments and/or any additional guidelines or procedures the
Committee may adopt).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Committee will meet on an ad hoc basis to (among other matters): (1)&nbsp;authorize &#147;split voting&#148;
(i.e., allowing certain shares of the same issuer that are the subject of the same proxy
solicitation and held by one or more MSIM portfolios to be voted differently than other shares)
and/or &#147;override voting&#148; (i.e., voting all MSIM portfolio shares in a manner contrary to the
Policy); (2)&nbsp;review and approve upcoming votes, as appropriate, for matters for which specific
direction has been provided in this Policy; and (3)&nbsp;determine how to vote matters for which
specific direction has not been provided in this Policy.

well as any other relevant information they may request or receive, including portfolio manager
and/or analyst research, as applicable. Generally, proxies related to securities held in accounts
that are managed pursuant to quantitative, index or index-like strategies (&#147;Index Strategies&#148;) will
be voted in the same manner as those held in actively managed accounts, unless economic interests
of the accounts differ. Because accounts managed using Index Strategies are passively managed
accounts, research from portfolio managers and/or analysts related to securities held in these
accounts may not be available. If the affected securities are held only in accounts that are
managed pursuant to Index Strategies, and the proxy relates to a matter that is not described in
this Policy, the Committee will consider all available information from the Research Providers, and
to the extent that the holdings are significant, from the portfolio managers and/or analysts.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Because the portfolio managers manage assets for other investment companies, pooled investment
vehicles, and/or other accounts (including institutional clients, pension plans and certain high
net worth individuals), there may be an incentive to favor one client over another resulting in
conflicts of interest. For instance, the Adviser may receive fees from certain accounts that are
higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may receive a performance-based fee on certain
accounts. In those instances, the portfolio managers may have an incentive to favor the higher
and/or performance-based fee accounts over the Fund. The portfolio managers of the Fund do not
currently manage assets for other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles or other
accounts that charge a performance fee. In addition, a conflict of interest could exist to the
extent the Adviser has proprietary investments in certain accounts, where portfolio managers have
personal investments in certain accounts or when certain accounts are investment options in the
Adviser&#146;s employee benefits and/or deferred compensation plans. The portfolio manager may have an
incentive to favor these accounts over others. If the Adviser manages accounts that engage in
short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, the Adviser could be seen as
harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaged in short sales if the
short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall. The Adviser has adopted trade

these and other conflicts of interest.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Portfolio managers receive a combination of base compensation and discretionary compensation,
comprised of a cash bonus and several deferred compensation programs described below. The
methodology used to determine portfolio manager compensation is applied across all accounts managed
by the portfolio manager.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">BASE SALARY COMPENSATION. Generally, portfolio managers receive base salary compensation based on
the level of their position with the Adviser.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DISCRETIONARY COMPENSATION. In addition to base compensation, portfolio managers may receive
discretionary compensation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Discretionary compensation can include:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#150; Cash Bonus;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#150; Morgan Stanley&#146;s Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program awards &#151; a mandatory program that
defers a portion of discretionary year-end compensation into restricted stock units or other awards
or other investments based on Morgan Stanley common stock that are subject to vesting and other
conditions;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#150; Investment Management Alignment Plan (IMAP)&nbsp;awards &#151; a mandatory program that defers a portion
of discretionary year-end compensation and notionally invests it in designated funds advised by the
Adviser or its affiliates. The award is subject to vesting and other conditions. Portfolio managers
must notionally invest a minimum of 25% to a maximum of 100% of their IMAP deferral account into a
combination of the designated open-end funds they manage that are included in the IMAP Fund menu;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#150; Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plans &#151; voluntary programs that permit certain employees to
elect to defer a portion of their discretionary year-end compensation and notionally invest the
deferred amount across a range of designated investment funds, including funds advised by the
Adviser or its affiliates; and/or (2)&nbsp;in Morgan Stanley stock units.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Several factors determine discretionary compensation, which can vary by portfolio management team
and circumstances. In order of relative importance, these factors include:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#150; Investment performance. A portfolio manager&#146;s compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment
performance of the funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager. Investment performance is
calculated for one-, three- and five-year periods measured against an appropriate securities market
index (or indices) for the funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager. The assets managed by
the portfolio managers in funds, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts are described in
&#147;Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Managers&#148; above. Generally, the greatest weight is placed
on the three- and five-year periods.

interferes, or appears to interfere, with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For
example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family,
receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the
Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of
1940 (&#147;Investment Company Act&#148;) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (&#147;Investment Advisers
Act&#148;). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as
the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as
&#147;affiliated persons&#148; (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Fund. The Fund&#146;s and its
investment adviser&#146;s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and
correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or
replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside the parameters of this Code,
unless or until the General Counsel determines that any violation of such programs and procedures
is also a violation of this Code.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may
arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and its investment
adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code
recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally
for the Fund or for the investment adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and
implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Fund and its investment adviser.
The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual
relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and is consistent with the performance by
the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity
with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities
will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds&#146; Boards
of Directors/Trustees (&#147;Boards&#148;) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one
or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are
not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The
following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers
should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the
personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the
Fund.
