Item 1. Report to Shareholders.
 
The Trust’s annual report transmitted to shareholders pursuant to
Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is as follows:
 
Welcome, Shareholder
 
 
In this report, you’ll learn about how your investment in Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust performed during the annual period. The portfolio management team will provide an overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the factors that affected investment performance during the reporting period. In addition, this report includes the trust’s financial statements and a list of trust investments as of October 31, 2008.
 
 
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.

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 adviser. Investment returns, net asset value (NAV) and common share market price will fluctuate and trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the trust’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the trust at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. Total return assumes an investment at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions for the period in accordance with the trust’s dividend reinvestment plan, and sale of all shares at the end of the period. The trust’s adviser has waived or reimbursed fees and expenses from time to time; absent such waivers/reimbursements the trust’s returns would have been lower.
 
The Lehman Brothers Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of Pennsylvania issued municipal bonds rated at least Baa or BBB by Moody’s or S&P, respectively, and with maturities of 2 years or greater. The Index is unmanaged and its returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Trust Report
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2008
 
Market Conditions
 
The broad financial markets were highly volatile throughout the reporting period as the credit crisis intensified, the housing market continued to decline, and the economy appeared headed into recession. In early September 2008, investor confidence plummeted and the markets began a downward spiral following the government’s takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. In the weeks that followed, several other financial institutions were forced into mergers, rescued by government loans, or failed altogether as the value of their assets severely eroded. The credit markets became paralyzed as banks refused to lend while investors fled risky assets in favor of Treasury securities. In an effort to unlock the credit markets, the federal government interceded with various supportive measures, including a $700 billion bailout plan.
 
The municipal bond market had already been under pressure for several months prior to September, due in part to the credit rating downgrades of various monoline bond insurers and the deterioration of the auction rate and variable rate markets. The failure of Lehman Brothers, however, prompted a wave of forced selling in the municipal market as leveraged buyers, mutual funds and brokerage firms began deleveraging, putting significant pressure on prices and severely eroding liquidity. As a result, municipal yields rose, particularly on the long end of the yield curve, far exceeding those of comparable Treasuries by the end of the period. For the three-month period ended October 31, 2008, the short end of the curve outperformed the long end by roughly 1,000 basis points. The disparity in performance was even greater over the one-year reporting period as the short end outperformed by more than 1,800 basis points. As would be expected in the risk-averse and volatile environment, higher-quality municipal bonds outperformed lower-quality issues. For the overall period, high yield municipal spreads widened from approximately 170 basis points to 410 basis points.
 
The state of Pennsylvania has had a record of good financial management and budgetary balances over the years with a well-controlled debt position. However, with the slowdown in the economy, the state faces challenges due to its below average employment and income and its continuing loss of manufacturing jobs. We will continue to monitor its economic health and look for opportunities in more stable sectors within the state.

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 and a market price basis, the Trust underperformed its benchmark index, the Lehman Brothers Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index (“the Index”).

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and common share market price will fluctuate and Trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See Performance Summary for additional performance information and index definition.
 
The Trust held an overweight to lower- and non-rated bonds relative to the Index, which is comprised entirely of investment-grade issues. This allocation to the lower-quality segment of the market hindered performance as the flight to quality that persisted throughout most of the reporting period led higher-quality issues to outperform. An overweight allocation to triple-B rated hospital bonds relative to the Index also held back relative returns. This sector was particularly hard hit, with spreads widening from 100 basis points to 300 basis points by the end of October. The Trust’s yield-curve positioning was also disadvantageous. We maintained an overweight exposure to the longer end of the municipal yield curve, which underperformed the short end of the curve as the curve steepened.
 
Other positions, however, were additive to performance during the period. An overweight to pre-refunded bonds enhanced returns as these shorter-maturity securities benefited from the outperformance of the short end of the municipal yield curve. Additionally, holdings in municipal auction rate securities with zero durations (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) were additive to performance as the yield on these securities remained well above those of long-maturity municipal bonds.
 
The Trust’s Board of Trustees has approved a procedure whereby the Trust may, when appropriate, repurchase its shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not above market value or NAV, whichever is lower at the time of purchase. This may help support the market value of the Trust’s shares.
 
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Trust in the future.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
 
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.
 
At meetings held on April 15, 2008 and May 8, 2008, the Board of Trustees, and the independent trustees voting separately, considered and ultimately determined that the terms of the investment advisory agreement are fair and reasonable and approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement 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 investment advisory agreement 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 connection with a change in the Fund’s diversification status from non-diversified to diversified in 2007, materials it had received in connection with fee waivers currently in place for the Fund and materials it had received in connection with the share repurchase program currently in place for the Fund. The Board of Trustees considered the investment advisory agreement over a period of several months and the trustees held sessions both with the investment adviser and separate from the investment adviser in reviewing and considering the investment advisory agreement.
 
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 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 and changes made in the Fund’s portfolio management team and the Fund’s portfolio management strategy over time. 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 agreement.
 
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 agreement.
 
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 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 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 agreement.
 
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 agreement.
 
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 agreement.

Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust
Notes to Financial Statements  n  October 31, 2008
 
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust (the “Trust”) is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) but operates as a diversified management investment company. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania income taxes and, where possible under local law, local income and personal property taxes, consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust will invest substantially all of its assets in Pennsylvania municipal securities rated investment grade at the time of investment, but may invest up to 20% of its assets in unrated securities which are believed to be of comparable quality to those rated investment grade. The Trust commenced investment operations on April 30, 1993.
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 last reported bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. 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, 2008, the Trust had $2,452,825 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 adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on April 30, 2008. FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for

financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The implementation of FIN 48 did not result in any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. If applicable, the Trust recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Interest Expense” and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Trust files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four year period ended October 31, 2008, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
The Trust intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital gains. At October 31, 2008, the Trust had an accumulated capital loss carry forward for tax purposes of $27,259,433 which will expire according to the following schedule:
 
                 
Amount       Expiration
 
$ 2,674,205           October 31, 2015  
  24,585,228           October 31, 2016  
 
At October 31, 2008, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation were as follows:
 
             
Cost of investments for tax purposes
  $ 492,799,282      
             
Gross tax unrealized appreciation
    7,653,794      
Gross tax unrealized depreciation
    (61,452,828 )    
             
Net tax unrealized depreciation on investments
  $ (53,799,034 )    
             
 
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 at least annually on a pro rata basis to common and preferred shareholders. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains 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, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:
 
                 
    2008   2007
 
Distributions paid from:

Permanent differences, primarily due to amortization adjustments, resulted in the following reclassifications among the Trust’s components of net assets at October 31, 2008:
 
                     
Accumulated Undistributed

Net Investment Income   Net Realized Loss   Capital
 
$ (17,202 )   $ 17,202     $ -0-  
 
As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
         
Undistributed ordinary income
  $ 56,773  
Undistributed tax-exempt income
    1,244,682  
 
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes primarily as a result of gains or losses recognized on securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.
 
F. Floating Rate Note Obligations Related to Securities Held The Trust enters into transactions in which it transfers to dealer trusts fixed rate bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate investments. The dealer trusts fund the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate notes to third parties and allowing the Trust to retain residual interests in the bonds. The Trust enters into shortfall agreements with the dealer trusts, which commit the Trust to pay the dealer trusts, in certain circumstances, the difference between the liquidation value of the fixed rate bonds held by the dealer trusts and the liquidation value of the floating rate notes held by third parties, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate investments) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the municipal bond from the dealer trusts to the Trust, thereby collapsing the dealer trusts. The Trust accounts for the transfer of bonds to the dealer trusts as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the Trust’s investment assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust liabilities under the caption “Floating Rate Note Obligations” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds under the caption “Interest” and records the expenses related to floating rate note obligations and any administrative expenses of the dealer trusts under the caption “Interest and Residual Trust Expenses” on the Trust’s Statement of Operations. The notes issued by the dealer trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the dealer trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. At October 31, 2008, Trust investments with a value of $74,457,410 are held by the dealer trusts and serve as collateral for the $53,695,000 in floating rate notes outstanding at that date. Contractual maturities of the floating rate notes and interest rates in effect at October 31, 2008 are presented on the Portfolio of Investments. The average floating rate notes outstanding and average annual interest fee rate related to residual interests during the year ended October 31, 2008 were $79,172,236 and 2.85%, respectively.
 
G. Credits Earned on Cash Balances During the year ended October 31, 2008, the Trust’s custody fee was reduced by $8,126 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the “Adviser”) will provide investment advice and facilities to the Trust for an annual fee payable monthly of .55% of the average daily net assets including current preferred shares and leverage of $44,000,000 entered into to retire previously issued preferred shares of the Trust. The Adviser has agreed to waive investment advisory fees equal to .10% of the average daily net assets including current preferred shares and leverage of $44,000,000 entered into to retire previously issued preferred shares of the Trust. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the Adviser waived approximately $552,200 of its advisory fees. This waiver is voluntary and can be discontinued at any time.
For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $48,700 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, 2008, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $78,600 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.’s or its affiliates’ (collectively “Van Kampen”) cost of providing accounting and legal services to the Trust, as well as the salary, benefits and related costs of the CCO and related support staff paid by Van Kampen. Services provided pursuant to the Legal Services agreement are reported as part of “Professional Fees” on the Statement of Operations. Services provided pursuant to the Accounting Services and CCO Employment agreement are reported as part of “Accounting and Administrative Expenses” on the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Trust does not compensate its officers or trustees who are also officers of Van Kampen.
The Trust provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee’s years of service to the Trust. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.
 
3. Capital Transactions
For the years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, transactions in common shares were as follows:
                 
    Year Ended
  Year Ended
    October 31, 2008   October 31, 2007
 
Beginning Shares

Ending Shares
    23,778,128       24,262,153  
                 
 
* On February 28, 2007, the Trust commenced a share repurchase program for purposes of enhancing stockholder value and reducing the discount at which the Trust’s shares trade from their net asset value. For the years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007, the Trust repurchased 484,025 and 345,950, respectively of its shares at an average discount of 8.67% and 7.93% respectively from net asset value per share. The Trust expects to continue to repurchase its outstanding shares at such time and in such

amounts as it believes such activity will further the accomplishment of the foregoing objectives, subject to review of the Trustees.
 
4. Investment Transactions
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $141,008,329 and $254,223,811, 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 the unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is generally recognized.
Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments used by the Trust.
 
A. Futures Contracts 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 contracts on U.S. Treasury securities and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. These contracts are generally used to manage the Trust’s effective maturity and duration. 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 futures commission merchant pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940 Act, 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, 2008 were

    -0-  
         
 
B. Inverse Floating Rate Investments The Trust may invest a portion of its assets in inverse floating rate instruments, either through outright purchases of inverse floating rate securities

or through the transfer of bonds to a dealer trust in exchange for cash and residual interests in the dealer trust. These investments are typically used by the Trust in seeking to enhance the yield of the portfolio or used as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem a portion of the Trust’s preferred shares. These instruments typically involve greater risks than a fixed rate municipal bond. In particular, these instruments are acquired through leverage or may have leverage embedded in them and therefore involve many of the risks associated with leverage. Leverage is a speculative technique that may expose the Trust to greater risk and increased costs. Leverage may cause the Trust’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged because leverage tends to magnify the effect of any increases or decreases in the value of the Trust’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Trust to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations with respect to inverse floating rate instruments.
 
6. Preferred Shares
As of October 31, 2008, the Trust has outstanding 7,040 Auction Preferred Shares (APS). Series A contains 1,440 shares, Series B contains 1,280 shares, Series C contains 2,080 shares, and Series D contains 2,240 shares. Dividends are cumulative and the dividend rates are generally reset every 7 days for Series A, while Series B, Series C, and Series D are generally reset every 28 days through an auction process. Beginning on February 13, 2008 and continuing through October 31, 2008, all series of preferred shares of the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the dividend rates of these preferred shares were reset to the maximum applicable rate on APS. The average rate in effect on October 31, 2008 was 4.194%. During the year ended October 31, 2008, the rates ranged from 2.481% to 12.261%.
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.
The Trust entered into additional inverse floating rate securities as an alternative form of leverage in order to redeem and retire a portion of its preferred shares. For the year ended October 31, 2008. transactions in preferred shares were as follows:
 
                                 
    Series A   Series B
    Shares   Value   Shares   Value
 
Outstanding at 10/31/07

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.
 
8. Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. As of October 31, 2008, the Adviser does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported on the Statement of Operations for a fiscal period.
On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust (the “Trust”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2008, the related statements of operations and cash flows 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, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust as of October 31, 2008, the results of its operations and cash flows 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 Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
 
The dividend reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) offers you a prompt and simple way to reinvest your dividends and capital gains distributions into additional shares of the Trust. Under the Plan, the money you earn from dividends and capital gains distributions will be reinvested automatically in more shares of the Trust, allowing you to potentially increase your investment over time.
 
Plan benefits
 
• Add to your account
 
You may increase your shares in the Trust easily and automatically with the Plan.
 
• Low transaction costs
 
Shareholders who participate in the Plan are able to buy shares at below-market prices when the Trust is trading at a premium to its net asset value. In addition, transaction costs are low because when new shares are issued by the Trust, there is no brokerage fee, and when shares are bought in blocks on the open market, the brokerage commission is shared among all participants.
 
• Convenience
 
You will receive a detailed account statement from Computershare Trust Company, N.A., which administers the Plan, whenever shares are reinvested for you. The statement shows your total distributions, date of investment, shares acquired, and price per share, as well as the total number of shares in your reinvestment account. You can also access your account via the Internet. To do this, please go to vankampen.com.
 
• Safekeeping
 
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. will hold the shares it has acquired for you in safekeeping.
 
How to participate in the Plan
 
If you own shares in your own name, you can participate directly in the Plan. If your shares are held in “street name”—in the name of your brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution—you must instruct that entity to participate on your behalf. If they are unable to participate on your behalf, you may request that they reregister your shares in your own name so that you may enroll in the Plan.
If you choose to participate in the Plan, your dividends and capital gains distributions will be promptly reinvested for you, automatically increasing your shares. If the Trust is trading at a share price that is equal to its net asset value

Van Kampen Pennsylvania Value Municipal Income Trust
Dividend Reinvestment Plan  
continued
 
(NAV), you’ll pay that amount for your reinvested shares. However, if the Trust is trading above or below NAV, the price is determined by one of two ways:
  1.  Premium If the Trust is trading at a premium—a market price that is higher than its NAV—you’ll pay either the NAV or 95 percent of the market price, whichever is greater. When the Trust trades at a premium, you’ll pay less for your reinvested shares than an ordinary investor purchasing shares on the stock exchange. Keep in mind, a portion of your price reduction may be taxable because you are receiving shares at less than market price.
  2.  Discount If the Trust is trading at a discount—a market price that is lower than its NAV—you’ll pay the market price for your reinvested shares.
 
How to enroll
 
To enroll in the Plan, please read the Terms and Conditions in the Plan brochure. You can obtain a copy of the Plan Brochure and enroll in the Plan by visiting vankampen.com, calling toll-free (800) 341-2929 or notifying us in writing at Van Kampen Closed End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078. Please include the Trust name and account number and ensure that all shareholders listed on the account sign these written instructions. Your participation in the Plan will begin with the next dividend or capital gains distribution payable after Computershare Trust Company, N.A. receives your authorization, as long as they receive it before the “record date,” which is generally ten business days before the dividend is paid. If your authorization arrives after such record date, your participation in the Plan will begin with the following dividend or distribution.
 
Costs of the plan
 
There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting dividends and capital gains distributions because the Plan’s fees are paid by the Trust. 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.
 
Tax implications
 
The automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions does not relieve you of any income tax that may be due on dividends or distributions.

(e)(1) The audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures are as follows:
JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE
AUDIT AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES
PRE-APPROVAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES
OF THE
VAN KAMPEN FUNDS
AS ADOPTED JULY 23, 2003 AND AMENDED MAY 26, 20041
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 would include:
  -   Van Kampen Investments Inc.
 
  -   Van Kampen Asset Management

are determined to have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Registrant. 100% of such services were pre-approved by the audit committee pursuant to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures (included herein).
(f) Not applicable.
(g) See table above.
(h) The audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services performed by the auditors to the Registrant and Covered Entities is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence in performing audit services.

(a) Please refer to Item #1.
(b) Not applicable.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
The Trust invests in exclusively non-voting securities and therefore this item is not applicable to the Trust.
Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT. As of the date of this report, the Fund is managed by members of the Municipals team. The team consists of portfolio managers and analysts. Current members of the team jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio and the overall execution of the strategy of the Fund are Mark Paris, an Executive Director of the Adviser, William Black, an Executive Director of the Adviser and Robert W. Wimmel, an Executive Director of the Adviser.
Mr. Paris has been associated with the Adviser as a Municipal Trader since August 2002 and began managing the Fund in December 2007. Mr. Black has been associated with the Adviser as a High Yield Municipal Analyst since June 1998 and began managing the Fund in December 2007. Mr. Wimmel has been associated with the Adviser in an investment management capacity since August 1996 and began managing the Fund in November 2001.
The composition of the team may change from time to time.
OTHER ACCOUNTS MANAGED BY THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
As of October 31, 2008:
Mr. Paris managed 17 registered investment companies with a total of approximately $10.8 billion in assets; no pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies; and one other account with a total of approximately $13.6 million in assets.

 


 

Mr. Black managed 12 registered investment companies with a total of approximately $9.4 billion in assets; no pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies; and no other accounts
Mr. Wimmel managed 16 registered investment companies with a total of approximately $7.0 billion in assets; no pooled investment vehicles other than registered investment companies; and no other accounts.
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 accounts for other investment companies, pooled investment vehicles or other accounts that charge a performance-based 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’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 allocation and other policies and procedures that it believes are reasonably designed to address these and other conflicts of interest.
PORTFOLIO MANAGER COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
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.
BASE SALARY COMPENSATION. Generally, portfolio managers receive base salary compensation based on the level of their position with the Adviser.
DISCRETIONARY COMPENSATION. In addition to base compensation, portfolio managers may receive discretionary compensation.
Discretionary compensation can include:
- Cash Bonus;
- Morgan Stanley’s Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program awards — 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;
- Investment Management Alignment Plan (IMAP) awards — 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 the IMAP deferral into a combination of the designated open-end funds they manage that are included in the IMAP Fund menu;

 


 

- Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plans — voluntary programs that permit certain employees to elect to defer a portion of their discretionary year-end compensation and directly or notionally invest the deferred amount: (1) across a range of designated investment funds, including funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates; and/or (2) in Morgan Stanley stock units.
Several factors determine discretionary compensation, which can vary by portfolio management team and circumstances. In order of relative importance, these factors include:
- Investment performance. A portfolio manager’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 “Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Managers” above. Generally, the greatest weight is placed on the three- and five-year periods.
- Revenues generated by the investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and other accounts managed by the portfolio manager.
- Contribution to the business objectives of the Adviser.
- The dollar amount of assets managed by the portfolio manager.
- Market compensation survey research by independent third parties.
- Other qualitative factors, such as contributions to client objectives.
- Performance of Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc., and the overall performance of the investment team(s) of which the portfolio is a member.
