                             LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

December 20, 1999

Dear Shareholder,

    As we approach the end of the century--and the millennium--it seems
appropriate to take a look back at the progress that's been made over the last
100 years and how the world of investing has changed over the generations.
Although rapid advances in technology and science have dramatically altered the
world that we live in today, one of the greatest shifts we've seen this century
is the increasing importance of investing for many Americans.

    Once considered primarily for the wealthy, investing in the stock market is
now available to most people. In fact, almost 79 million individuals--who
represent almost half of all U.S. households--own stocks either directly or
through mutual funds. This is even more impressive when considering that just 16
years earlier, only 19 percent of households owned stocks. Another important
shift has been the need for retirement planning beyond a pension plan or Social
Security. The Investment Company Institute, the leading mutual fund industry
association, reports that 77 percent of all mutual fund shareholders earmarked
retirement as their primary financial goal in 1998.

    Through all the changes in the investment environment over the past century,
the general principles that have made generations of investors successful remain
the same. Those that have stood the test of time include:
          - Investing for the long-term
          - Basing investment decisions on sound research
          - Building a diversified portfolio
          - Believing in the value of professional investment advice

    While no one can predict the future, at Van Kampen, we believe that these
ideas will remain important tenets for investors well into the next century. As
we continue to focus on these principles, we hope that our decades of investment
experience can help bring you closer to your financial goals as we enter the new
millennium.

Sincerely,


[SIG.]
Richard F. Powers III

                               ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT

ECONOMIC GROWTH

    Americans continued their spending spree, keeping the economy growing at a
brisk pace. High levels of consumer confidence fueled this heavy retail
activity, which pushed the personal savings rate to a record low in September as
spending rates outpaced income growth. Although the U.S. economy experienced a
slowdown during the second quarter of 1999, growth rebounded in the third
quarter with gross domestic product increasing an annualized 5.7 percent.

EMPLOYMENT

    The strong job market helped support the strength of the economy. During the
reporting period, the unemployment rate reached its lowest level in almost 30
years, and wages continued to climb. Wage pressures pushed the cost of labor
higher in the second quarter, as the employment cost index (ECI) recorded its
biggest gain in eight years. However, productivity gains offset rising wages in
the third quarter, bringing the ECI back to a more moderate level.

INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES

    Although the Consumer Price Index continued to reflect historically low
inflation, concerns about future increases in inflation were prevalent
throughout the reporting period. The Federal Reserve Board remained active in
guarding against inflation and tempering economic growth. The Fed reversed its
three interest-rate cuts from the fall of 1998 by raising rates in June, August,
and November 1999 in an attempt to keep the economy from overheating.

                          PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW

                            VAN KAMPEN RESERVE FUND

We recently spoke with representatives of the adviser of the Van Kampen Reserve
Fund about the key events and economic forces that shaped the markets during the
past six months. The representatives include Reid Hill, portfolio manager, who
has managed the Fund since February 1998 and worked in the investment industry
since 1995. He is joined by Michael Bird, portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel,
chief investment officer for fixed-income investments. The following discussion
reflects their views on the Fund's performance during the six-month period ended
November 30, 1999.

   Q  HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN WHICH THE
      FUND OPERATED DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?

   A  A robust domestic economy, buoyed by high employment rates and strong
      consumer activity, prompted the Federal Reserve Board to implement
      interest-rate hikes in August and November in an attempt to ward off
inflation. On the heels of a June increase, these rate hikes restored the
federal funds rate to its September 1998 level of 5.50 percent.

    Against this backdrop, the Dow Jones Industrial Average continued along its
volatile path, ending the period with a return to its summer highs. The equity
market easily outshone the fixed-income market, which suffered in the third
quarter of 1999 when concerns grew that Year 2000 computer problems might make
it difficult for investors to liquidate their investments in the final weeks of
the year. As fears heightened, yield spreads widened between Treasuries and
other types of bonds, such as corporate, high-yield, and mortgage-backed
securities.

    In an effort to reassure investors, the Fed announced a series of programs
designed to maintain cash reserves for banks and investment companies. The
programs gave institutional investors options for procuring liquid assets,
including the ability to borrow funds from the Fed. These steps helped settle
the fixed-income market toward the end of the Fund's reporting period.

   Q  HOW DID YOU MANAGE THE FUND IN LIGHT OF THESE CONDITIONS?

   A  We continued to pursue our allocation model, in which half of the Fund's
      assets would be invested in commercial paper, a third of the Fund's assets
      invested in bank notes and CDs (certificates of deposit), and the
remainder invested in agency discount notes and repurchase agreements ("repos").
During the past six months, we maintained our focus on commercial paper, which
tends to provide the greatest yield advantage among the Fund's investments.
Correspondingly, we decreased the Fund's emphasis on bank notes and CDs, which
provided less value. However, market volatility prompted us to pursue the
liquidity of repos, thus creating a slight underweighting in the commercial
paper sector at the end of the reporting period.

</TABLE>

    Within the commercial paper sector, we continued to select high-rated,
short-term corporate securities with ratings of at least A-1/P-1 from Moody's
and Standard & Poor's. These corporate securities provided income without
assuming excessive risk. We also continued to favor commercial paper with an
average maturity of 90 days or less. In the current interest-rate environment,
we believe there is little benefit in extending the portfolio's risk by
investing in longer-term paper, which provides only a minimally higher return
than shorter-term paper.

   Q  HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?

   A  The Van Kampen Reserve Fund continued to provide shareholders with
      relative stability, daily liquidity at $1.00 per share, and a competitive
      level of current income(1). As of November 30, 1999, the seven-day average
yield was 4.79 percent for Class A shares, 4.05 percent for Class B shares, and
4.05 percent for Class C shares, with an effective annual yield of 4.91 percent
for Class A shares, 4.13 percent for Class B shares, and 4.13 percent for Class
C shares.

    For the six-month period ended November 30, 1999, the Fund achieved a total
return at net asset value of 2.31 percent(2) for Class A shares, 1.92 percent(2)
for Class B shares, and 1.92 percent(2) for Class C shares. Including sales
charges, the Fund's total return for Class B and C shares was -2.08 percent and
0.92 percent, respectively. Please note that the yield quotation more closely
reflects the current earnings of the Fund than the total return quotation. Of
course, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

    The average total return for money market funds, as measured by Lipper
Analytical Services, was 2.38 percent over the same period. This return reflects
the performance of 30 qualifying funds, assuming reinvestment of all
distributions during the six-month period.

(1)Fund shares are not guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government, and there
   is no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset
   value of $1.00 per share.
(2)Total return assumes reinvestment of all distributions for the six-month
   period ended November 30, 1999.

   Q  WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MARKET OVER THE COMING MONTHS?

   A  Because it's impossible to predict what new developments, if any, will
      result from the year 2000 problem, we find ourselves looking to the Fed
      for direction. We anticipate that, once the dust settles after the turn of
the year, the Fed will gauge the strength of the economy and indications of
increasing price pressures in order to determine if another interest-rate hike
is warranted.

    In conjunction with this outlook, we will maintain our pursuit of the
allocation model described earlier in this report, with an eye toward
maintaining a short portfolio duration. At the same time, we'll look to add
value to the portfolio through careful security selection as we continue to seek
to achieve the Fund's objectives of protection of capital and high current
income.

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

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Van Kampen Reserve Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a Delaware business trust.
The Fund is an open-end diversified management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment
objective is to seek protection of capital and high current income through
investments in U.S. dollar denominated money market securities. The Fund
commenced investment operations on July 12, 1974. The distribution of the Fund's
Class B and Class C shares commenced on April 18, 1995.
    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles 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--Investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market. Under this valuation method, a portfolio instrument is
valued at cost and any discount or premium is amortized to the maturity of the
instrument.

B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
    The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term
investments in which the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future time and specified price.
The Fund may invest independently in repurchase agreements, or transfer
uninvested cash balances into a pooled cash account along with other investment
companies advised by Van Kampen Asset Management Inc. (the "Adviser") or its
affiliates, the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements.
Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying debt security.
The Fund will make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or
evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the custodian bank. The seller
is required to maintain the value of the underlying security at not less than
the repurchase proceeds due the Fund.

                         November 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income, if any, to its shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

   The Fund 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. At May 31, 1999, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward
for tax purposes of $62,064 which will expire between May 31, 2001 and May 31,
2006.
    Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting
purposes primarily as a result of post October 31 losses which may not be
recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

D. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS--The Fund declares dividends daily from net
investment income and capital gains, if any, and automatically reinvests such
dividends daily. Shareholders can elect to receive the cash equivalent of their
daily dividends at each month end.

E. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS--During the six months ended November 30, 1999, the Fund's
custody fee was reduced by $40,693 as a result of credits earned on overnight
cash balances.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the terms of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will
provide facilities and investment advice to the Fund for an annual fee payable
monthly as follows:

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

    For the six months ended November 30, 1999, the Fund recognized expenses of
approximately $89,400 representing Van Kampen Funds Inc.'s, or its affiliates'
(collectively "Van Kampen") cost of providing accounting services to the Fund.

    Van Kampen Investor Services Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as
the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the six months ended November
30, 1999, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $644,400. The transfer
agency fees are determined through negotiations with the Fund's Board of
Trustees and are based on competitive market benchmarks.

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

    The Fund 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 for a ten-year period
and are based upon each trustee's years of service to the Fund. The maximum
annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.

3. CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
    At November 30, 1999, capital aggregated $922,410,406, $209,635,106 and

    Class B and C shares are offered without a front end sales charge, but are
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). The CDSC will be imposed
on most redemptions made within five years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The

arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental
transfer agency costs. Class B shares purchased on or after June 1, 1996, and
any dividend reinvestment plan Class B shares received thereon, automatically
convert to Class A shares eight years after the end of the calendar month in
which the shares were purchased. Class B shares purchased before June 1, 1996,
and any dividend reinvestment plan Class B shares received thereon,
automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the end of the calendar
month in which the shares were purchased. For the six months ended November 30,
1999, no Class B shares converted to Class A shares. Class C shares purchased
