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 Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is a broad-based statistical composite
of municipal bonds. The index does not include any expenses, fees or sales
charges, which would lower performance. The index is unmanaged and should not be
considered an investment. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Trust Report
 
FOR THE 12-MONTH PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2005
 
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade Municipals is managed by the Adviser's
Municipal Fixed Income team.(1) Current members include Thomas Byron, Vice
President; Robert Wimmel, Vice President; and John Reynoldson, Executive
Director.
 
MARKET CONDITIONS
 
During the 12-month period ended October 31, 2005, the economy grew at a good
pace, with reasonable gains in employment and sustained strength in consumer
spending. Although oil prices soared, core inflation (which excludes food and
energy) remained relatively benign. Continuing with the course it began in June
of 2004, the Federal Open Market Committee (the Fed) raised the federal funds
target rate eight times during the period. Through a "measured pace" of 25 basis
point increments, the Fed brought the rate to 3.75 percent at the end of the
reporting period. While the yields of short- and intermediate-term bonds moved
upward in concert with the Fed's actions, the yields of long-term bonds ended
the period virtually unchanged. As a result, the yield curve (which charts the
difference between short-term and long-term rates) flattened.
 
Against this backdrop, total returns across the municipal bond market varied
dramatically, with long maturity bonds outperforming short-term issues by a wide
margin. As investors sought income in an environment of historically low rates,
BBB rated and non-rated bonds significantly outperformed high grade debt, and
credit spreads tightened markedly. Strong and steady flows of new cash into high
yield municipal funds added to the demand for lower rated issues.
 
Sectors with a preponderance of lower rated credits performed with particular
strength. Tobacco revenue bonds were by far the best performing sector,
supported by overall spread tightening as well as by increasing investor
confidence regarding the extent of tobacco companies' future litigation risk.
Health care bonds (hospitals and long-term care facilities) also fared well,
boosted by strong investor demand.
 
Municipal bond issuance remained robust in 2005, with $336 billion of debt
brought to market in the first 10 months of the year, a pace on track to beat
the record issuance of 2003. Refunding activity represented a good portion of
this activity, as issuers sought to refinance higher cost debt at lower
prevailing interest rates. Bonds backed by insurance dominated issuance and
increased their market penetration to nearly 60 percent.

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, the trust outperformed its benchmark index, the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index. On a market price basis, the trust underperformed
its benchmark.

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.
 
Throughout the period, we followed our long-standing practice of trading between
liquid, high quality securities which our analysis identified as compelling
total return opportunities. Our strategy involves buying these bonds when we
believe they are attractively valued, and selling them when they reach our
return targets. We then invest the proceeds into bonds with greater potential
for future total return.
 
The trust uses leverage to enhance its dividend to common shareholders. The
trust borrows money at short-term rates through the issuance of preferred
shares. The proceeds are reinvested in longer-term securities, taking advantage
of the difference between short- and longer-term rates. The Fed's policy of
raising interest rates throughout the period made the trust's borrowing activity
more expensive, thereby tempering its benefits.
 
We positioned the portfolio to reflect our belief that the yield curve would
continue to flatten, with short-term yields rising more rapidly than long-term
yields. Accordingly, we sold short- and intermediate-term bonds, including bonds
that had been prerefunded over time. We purchased bonds with maturities of 25
years and longer, favoring bonds with premium (above-market) coupons and, when
possible, defensive interest rate characteristics. As the yield curve flattened,
the trust was advantageously positioned during the period. We also adopted a
more defensive duration stance as the period progressed. (Duration is a measure
of interest rate sensitivity.)
 
At of the end of the reporting period, securities rated AA or better represented
approximately 82 percent of the portfolio. That said, we actively sought
 
                                                                               3

 
opportunities to increase the trust's yield, while adhering to our exacting
criteria. This shift to higher-yielding securities enhanced performance. We
pared exposure to AAA rated issues and increased the trust's exposure to BBB
rated bonds to approximately 8 percent of the portfolio assets. Tobacco revenue
bonds were represented in our higher-yielding purchases. Here, we initiated a
position only after our thorough research suggested manageable litigation risk.
 
Consistent with our long-standing practice, the trust was well diversified among
the major sectors of the municipal market, with an emphasis on essential
services. The largest sectors at the end of the period were general purpose,
hospitals and public education. As mentioned previously, we established a
position in tobacco revenue bonds. We also increased the trust's exposure to
hospital bonds.
 
In October, Van Kampen Municipal Income Trust was reorganized into Van Kampen
Trust for Investment Grade Municipals. We believe the larger asset base should
provide greater flexibility in structuring the trust and in purchasing larger
blocks of securities which offer particularly compelling opportunities.
 
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well
or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Trust in the future.
 
CHANGES IN INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security
whose value is "derived" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate
or index.
 
The Trust recently approved a change in its investment policies to allow the
Trust to invest up to 15% of its net assets in "inverse floating rate
obligations." Floating rate obligations bear rates of interest that are adjusted
periodically to reflect changes in market rates of interest. Inverse floating
rate obligations have rates that vary inversely with changes in market rates of
interest. These securities have varying degrees of liquidity and the market
value of such securities generally will fluctuate in response to changes in
market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an equal
principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit quality,
redemption provisions and maturity.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
Both the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the terms of the Fund's investment
advisory agreement require that the investment advisory agreement between the
Fund and its investment adviser be approved annually both by a majority of the
Board of Trustees and by a majority of the independent trustees voting
separately.
 
On May 25, 2005, the Board of Trustees, and the independent trustees voting
separately, determined that the terms of the investment advisory agreement are
fair and reasonable and approved the continuance of the investment advisory
contract as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In
making its determination, the Board of Trustees considered materials that were
specifically prepared by the investment adviser at the request of the Board and
Fund counsel, and by an independent provider of investment company data
contracted to assist the Board, relating to the contract review process. The
Board also considered information received periodically about the portfolio,
performance, the investment strategy, portfolio management team and fees and
expenses of the Fund. Finally, the Board considered materials it had received in
approving a change in the advisory fee rate effective November 1, 2004 and
materials it had received in approving a reorganization of the Fund. The Board
of Trustees considered the contract over a period of several months and the
non-management trustees held sessions both with the investment adviser and
separate from the investment adviser in reviewing and considering the contract.
 
In approving the investment advisory agreement, the Board of Trustees
considered, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services
provided by the investment adviser, the performance, fees and expenses of the
Fund compared to other similar funds and other products, the investment
adviser's expenses in providing the services and the profitability of the
investment adviser and its affiliated companies. The Board of Trustees
considered the extent to which any economies of scale experienced by the
investment adviser are shared with the Fund's shareholders, and the propriety of
breakpoints in the Fund's investment advisory fee schedule. The Board of
Trustees considered comparative advisory fees of the Fund and other investment
companies and/or other products at different asset levels, and considered the
trends in the industry. The Board of Trustees evaluated other benefits the
investment adviser and its affiliates derive from their relationship with the
Fund. The Board of Trustees reviewed information about the foregoing factors and
considered changes, if any, in such information since its previous approval. The
Board of Trustees discussed the financial strength of the investment adviser and
its affiliated companies and the capability of the personnel of the investment
adviser, and specifically the strength and background of its portfolio
management personnel. The Board of Trustees reviewed the statutory and
regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of investment advisory
agreements. The Board of Trustees, including the independent trustees, evaluated
all of the foregoing and does not believe any single factor or group of
 
                                                                               9

 
factors control or dominate the review process, and, after considering all
factors together, has determined, in the exercise of its business judgment, that
approval of the investment advisory agreement is in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The following summary provides more detail on certain
matters considered but does not detail all matters considered.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided. On a regular basis, the
Board of Trustees considers the roles and responsibilities of the investment
adviser as a whole and for those specific portfolio management, support and
trading functions servicing the Fund. The trustees discuss with the investment
adviser the resources available and used in managing the Fund. The trustees also
discuss certain other services which are provided on a cost-reimbursement basis
by the investment adviser or its affiliates to the Van Kampen funds including
certain accounting, administrative and legal services. The Board has determined
that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the investment
adviser support its decision to approve the investment advisory contract.
 
Performance, Fees and Expenses of the Fund. On a regular basis, the Board of
Trustees reviews the performance, fees and expenses of the Fund compared to its
peers and to appropriate benchmarks. In addition, the Board spends more focused
time on the performance of the Fund and other funds in the Van Kampen complex,
paying specific attention to underperforming funds. The trustees discuss with
the investment adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in
managing the Fund. When considering a fund's performance, the trustees and the
investment adviser place emphasis on trends and longer-term returns (focusing on
one-year, three-year and five-year performance with special attention to
three-year performance) and, when a fund's weighted performance is under the
fund's benchmark, they discuss the causes and where necessary seek to make
specific changes to investment strategy or investment personnel. The Fund
discloses more information about its performance elsewhere in this report. The
trustees discuss with the investment adviser the level of advisory fees for this
Fund relative to comparable funds and other products advised by the adviser and
others in the marketplace. The trustees review not only the advisory fees but
other fees and expenses (whether paid to the adviser, its affiliates or others)
and the Fund's overall expense ratio. The Board has determined that the
performance, fees and expenses of the Fund support its decision to approve the
investment advisory contract.
 
Investment Adviser's Expenses in Providing the Service and Profitability. At
least annually, the trustees review the investment adviser's expenses in
providing services to the Fund and other funds advised by the investment adviser
and the profitability of the investment adviser. These profitability reports are
put together by the investment adviser with the oversight of a special ad hoc
committee of the Board. The trustees discuss with the investment adviser its
revenues and expenses, including among other things, revenues for advisory
services, portfolio management-related expenses, revenue sharing arrangement
 
 10

 
costs and allocated expenses both on an aggregate basis and per fund. The Board
has determined that the analysis of the investment adviser's expenses and
profitability support its decision to approve the investment advisory contract.
 
Economies of Scale. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees considers the size
of the Fund and how that relates to the Fund's expense ratio and particularly
the Fund's advisory fee rate. In conjunction with its review of the investment
adviser's profitability, the trustees discuss with the investment adviser how
more (or less) assets can affect the efficiency or effectiveness of managing the
Fund's portfolio and whether the advisory fee level is appropriate relative to
current asset levels and/or whether the advisory fee structure reflects
economies of scale as asset levels change. The Board has determined that its
review of the actual and potential economies of scale of the Fund support its
decision to approve the investment advisory contract.
 
Other Benefits of the Relationship. On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees
considers other benefits to the investment adviser and its affiliates derived
from its relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by the investment
adviser. These benefits include, among other things, fees for transfer agency
services provided to the funds, in certain cases research received by the
adviser generated from commission dollars spent on funds' portfolio trading, and
in certain cases distribution or service related fees related to funds' sales.
The trustees review with the investment adviser 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 the investment adviser or its
affiliates support its decision to approve the investment advisory contract.
 
                                                                              11

VAN KAMPEN TRUST FOR INVESTMENT GRADE MUNICIPALS
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- OCTOBER 31, 2005
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade Municipals (the "Trust") is registered as
a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended. 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 substantially all of its assets in municipal securities rated investment
grade at the time of investment. The Trust commenced investment operations on
January 24, 1992.
 
    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.
 
A. SECURITY VALUATION Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services
or dealers using the mean of the 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.
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 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.
 
B. 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 October 31, 2005, the Trust had $3,234,855 of when-issued or
delayed delivery purchase commitments.
 
C. 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.
 
D. 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.
 
    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 such losses against any future realized capital
gains. During the current fiscal year, the Trust utilized capital losses carried
forward of $1,444,681.
 
                                                                              37

    At October 31, 2005, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation are as follows:
 

                                                           
Cost of investments for tax purposes........................  $1,097,605,904

Gross tax unrealized appreciation...........................  $   60,428,248
Gross tax unrealized depreciation...........................      (3,518,176)
                                                              --------------
Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments..............  $   56,910,072
                                                              ==============

 
E. 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 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 and a portion of futures gains, which are
included as ordinary income for tax purposes.
 
    The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31,
2005 and 2004 was as follows:
 


                                                               2005         2004
                                                                   
Distributions paid from:
  Ordinary income...........................................  $96,040    $  142,534
  Long-term capital gain....................................      -0-     3,036,707
                                                              -------    ----------
                                                              $96,040    $3,179,241
                                                              =======    ==========

 
    Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses, and
realized gains/losses under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences
between book and tax basis reporting for the 2005 fiscal year have been
identified and appropriately reclassified on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. Permanent book to tax differences relating to merger costs and
excise taxes which are not deductible for tax purposes totaling $187,334 and
$10, respectively, were reclassified from accumulated undistributed net
investment income to paid in surplus. Additionally, a permanent difference
relating to book to tax accretion differences totaling $5,705 was reclassified
from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized
gain.
 
    As of October 31, 2005, the component of distributable earnings on a tax
basis were as follows:
 

                                                           
Undistributed ordinary income...............................  $   105,209
Undistributed long-term capital gain........................   13,213,377

 
    Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting
purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of losses relating to wash sale
transactions, and gains or losses recognized for tax purposes on open futures
transactions on October 31, 2005.
 
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") provides investment advice and facilities to the
Trust for an

Effective November 1, 2004, the advisory fee was reduced from .60% to .55%.
 
    For the year ended October 31, 2005, the Trust recognized expenses of
approximately $44,100 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.
 
    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 year ended October 31, 2005,
the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $93,900 representing Van Kampen
Investment 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 "Legal" expenses on the Statement of Operations. Services provided
pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as
of "Other" 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.

    On October 7, 2005, the Trust acquired all of the assets and liabilities of
the Van Kampen Municipal Income Trust (ticker symbol VMT) through a tax free
reorganization approved by VMT shareholders on September 23, 2005. The Trust
issued 16,785,937 common shares with a net asset value of $285,697,964 and 6,600
Auction Preferred Shares ("APS") with a liquidation value of $165,000,000, in
exchange for VMT net assets. The shares of VMT Trust's were converted into Trust
shares at a ratio of 0.585182 to 1 and 1 to 20, for common shares and APS,
respectively. Net unrealized appreciation on VMT as of October 7, 2005 was
$20,734,270. The Trust assumed VMT's book to tax accretion differences, which
resulted in a $404,784 increase to accumulated undistributed net investment
income and a corresponding
 
                                                                              39

decrease to net unrealized appreciation. Combined net assets applicable to
common shares on the day of reorganization were $745,337,328 and net assets
including preferred shares were $1,175,337,328. Included in these net assets was
a Trustees deferred compensation balance of $255,898 and Trustees retirement
plan balance of $74,816 which are included in accumulated undistributed net
investment income. Also, included in these net assets were losses recognized for
tax purposes on open futures transactions at October 7, 2005 of $561,213 which
are included in accumulated net realized gain.
 
4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
 
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments,
excluding short-term investments, were $191,813,169 and $239,811,984,
respectively.
 
5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security
whose value is "derived" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate
or index.
 
    In order to seek to manage the interest rate exposure of the Trust's
portfolio in a changing interest rate environment, the Trust may purchase or
sell financial futures contracts or engage in transactions involving interest
rate swaps, caps, floors or collars. The Trust expects to enter into these
transactions primarily as a hedge against anticipated interest rate or
fixed-income market changes, for duration management or for risk management
purposes, but may also enter into these transactions to generate additional
income. All of the Trust's portfolio holdings, including derivative instruments,
are marked to market each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is
recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of a security underlying a
futures contract. In this instance, 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 meet the
terms of their contracts.
 
    During the period, the Trust invested in futures contracts, a type of
derivative. A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a
particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Trust
generally invests in exchange traded futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes
and typically closes the contract prior to delivery date. Upon entering into
futures contracts, the Trust maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities
with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a future
commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940
Act, as amended, or with its custodian in an account in the broker's name. This
amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is
open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the
value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a
futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities.
 
    Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended October 31, 2005, were
as follows:

6. PREFERRED SHARES
 
The Trust has outstanding 17,200 Auction Preferred Shares ("APS") in seven
series. Series A, B, and C contain 3,000 shares each, Series D contains 1,600
shares and Series E, F and G contain 2,200 shares each. Dividends are cumulative
and the dividend rates are generally reset every 28 days through an auction
process. The average rate in effect on October 31, 2005 was 2.687%. During the
year ended October 31, 2005, the rates ranged from 1.500% to 3.000%.
 
    The Trust pays annual fees equivalent to .25% of the preferred share
liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred
auctions. 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.
 
7. 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.
 
                                                                              41

 
VAN KAMPEN TRUST FOR INVESTMENT GRADE MUNICIPALS
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Van Kampen Trust for Investment
Grade Municipals:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen Trust for Investment Grade Municipals (the "Trust"), including the
portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2005, the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those 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'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 October 31, 2005, by correspondence with the Trust's
custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Van
Kampen Trust for Investment Grade Municipals as of October 31, 2005, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for
each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

VAN KAMPEN TRUST FOR INVESTMENT GRADE MUNICIPALS
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
 
    The Trust offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which
Common Shareholders may elect to have dividends and capital gains distributions
reinvested in Common Shares of the Trust. The Trust declares dividends out of
net investment income, and will distribute annually net realized capital gains,
if any. Common Shareholders may join or withdraw from the Plan at any time.
 
    If you decide to participate in the Plan, EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., as
your Plan Agent, will automatically invest your dividends and capital gains
distributions in Common Shares of the Trust for your account.
 
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
 
    If you wish to participate and your shares are held in your own name, call
1-800-341-2929 for more information and a Plan brochure. If your shares are held
in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you should contact your
nominee to see if it would participate in the Plan on your behalf. If you wish
to participate in the Plan, but your brokerage firm, bank or nominee is unable
to participate on your behalf, you should request that your shares be
re-registered in your own name which will enable your participation in the Plan.
 
HOW THE PLAN WORKS
 
    Participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares valued
on the valuation date, generally at the lower of market price or net asset
value, except as specified below. The valuation date will be the dividend or
distribution payment date or, if that date is not a trading day on the national
securities exchange or market system on which the Common Shares are listed for
trading, the next preceding trading day. If the market price per Common Share on
the valuation date equals or exceeds net asset value per Common Share on that
date, the Trust will issue new Common Shares to participants valued at the
higher of net asset value or 95% of the market price on the valuation date. In
the foregoing situation, the Trust will not issue Common Shares under the Plan
below net asset value. If net asset value per Common Share on the valuation date
exceeds the market price per Common Share on that date, or if the Board of
Trustees should declare a dividend or capital gains distribution payable to the
Common Shareholders only in cash, participants in the Plan will be deemed to
have elected to receive Common Shares from the Trust valued at the market price
on that date. Accordingly, in this circumstance, the Plan Agent will, as agent
for the participants, buy the Trust's Common Shares in the open market for the
participants' accounts on or shortly after the payment date. If, before the Plan
Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value
per share of the Common Shares, the average per share purchase price paid by the
Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value
 
                                                                              43

VAN KAMPEN TRUST FOR INVESTMENT GRADE MUNICIPALS
 
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN continued
 
of the Trust's Common Shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common
Shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in Common Shares
issued by the Trust. All reinvestments are in full and fractional Common Shares
and are carried to three decimal places.
 
    Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable.
Accordingly, the Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as
applied to any dividend or distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the
changes sent to all Common Shareholders of the Trust at least 90 days before the
record date for the dividend or distribution. The Plan also may be amended or
terminated by the Plan Agent by at least 90 days written notice to all Common
Shareholders of the Trust.
 
COSTS OF THE PLAN
 
    The Plan Agent's fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions will be paid by the Trust. However, each participant will pay a
pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan
Agent's open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions. No other charges will be made to participants for reinvesting
dividends or capital gains distributions, except for certain brokerage
commissions, as described above.
 
TAX IMPLICATIONS
 
    You will receive tax information annually for your personal records and to
help you prepare your federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains distributions does not relieve you of any income tax
which may be payable on dividends or distributions.
 
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW
 
    Plan participants may withdraw at any time by calling 1-800-341-2929 or by
writing EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., c/o Computershare Investor Services, P.O.
Box 43010, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3010. If you withdraw, you will
receive, without charge, a share certificate issued in your name for all full
Common Shares credited to your account under the Plan and a cash payment will be
made for any fractional Common Share credited to your account under the Plan.
You may again elect to participate in the Plan at any time by calling
1-800-341-2929 or writing to the Trust at:

Item 2.  Code of Ethics.

(a) The Trust has adopted a code of ethics (the "Code of Ethics") that applies
to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal
accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions,
regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the Trust or a third
party.

(b) No information need be disclosed pursuant to this paragraph.

(c) The Trust has amended its Code of Ethics during the period covered by the
shareholder report presented in Item 1 hereto to delete from the end of the
following paragraph on page 2 of the Code the phrase "to the detriment of the
Fund.":

"Each Covered Officer must not use his personal influence or personal
relationship improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting
by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally (directly or
indirectly)."

Further, due to personnel changes at the Adviser, the list of Covered Officers
set forth in Exhibit B and the General Counsel designee to whom questions about
the application of the Code should be referred in Exhibit C were amended during
the period. Exhibit B was then amended again in March 2005 and a third time in
August 2005 and a fourth time in September 2005. All four editions of Exhibit B
are attached. Additionally, Exhibit B was amended to remove Mitchell M. Merin as
a covered officer.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

(f)

      (1)   The Trust's Code of Ethics is attached hereto as Exhibit 12A.

      (2)   Not applicable.

      (3)   Not applicable.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Trust's Board of Trustees has determined that it has two "audit committee
financial experts" serving on its audit committee, each of whom are
"independent" Trustees : Jerry Choate and R. Craig Kennedy. Under applicable
securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial
expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without
limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a
result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert.
The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial
expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities
that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such
person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence
of such designation or identification.

                                VAN KAMPEN FUNDS

               AS ADOPTED JULY 23, 2003 AND AMENDED MAY 26, 2004(1)

1.    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

      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's independence
from the Fund.(2)

      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's administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. The
SEC'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 ("general pre-approval"); or require the specific pre-approval
of the Audit Committee ("specific pre-approval"). 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.

      For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether
such services are consistent with the SEC'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's business, people, culture, accounting
systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance
the Fund'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.

      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).

      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 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

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

(1)   This Joint Audit Committee Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval
      Policy and Procedures (the "Policy"), amended as of the date above,
      supercedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been amended from
      time to time.

(2)   Terms used in this Policy and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
      meanings as defined in the Joint Audit Committee Charter.



from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the
list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent
determinations.

      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's responsibilities to pre-approve services
performed by the Independent Auditors to management.

      The Fund's Independent Auditors have reviewed this Policy and believes
that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the Independent
Auditors' independence.

2.    DELEGATION

      As provided in the Act and the SEC'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.

3.    AUDIT SERVICES

      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'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.

      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.

      The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Appendix B.1.
All other Audit services not listed in Appendix 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).

4.    AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

      Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are
reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund's
financial statements or, to the extent they are Covered Services, the Covered
Entities' 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'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 "Audit services"; 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.




      The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit-related services in
Appendix B.2. All other Audit-related services not listed in Appendix 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).

5.    TAX SERVICES

      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'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'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.

      Pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Audit Committee has pre-approved
the Tax Services in Appendix B.3. All Tax services involving large and complex
transactions not listed in Appendix 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).

6.    ALL OTHER SERVICES

      The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC'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's rules on auditor independence.

      The Audit Committee has pre-approved the All Other services in Appendix
B.4. Permissible All Other services not listed in Appendix 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).

      A list of the SEC's prohibited non-audit services is attached to this
policy as Appendix B.5. The SEC'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.

7.    PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS OR BUDGETED AMOUNTS

      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).



8.    PROCEDURES

      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's Chief Financial Officer and must
include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Fund'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'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's rules on
auditor independence.

      The Audit Committee has designated the Fund'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'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
B.7. Both the Fund'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's Chief Financial Officer or any member of
management.

9.    ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

      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'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. 1, and discussing with the Independent Auditors
its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

10.   COVERED ENTITIES

      Covered Entities include the Fund's investment adviser(s) and any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Fund's investment
adviser(s) that provides ongoing services to the Fund(s). Beginning with
non-audit service contracts entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Fund'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
