Dennis J. McDonnell and Don G. Powell
Dear Shareholder,
As you may know, Van Kampen American Capital is consolidating all of the
retail mutual funds that we distribute under the single name of Van Kampen
Funds. This move accompanies the change in our legal name to Van Kampen Funds
Inc.
You can be assured that the change in your fund's name will not affect its
management or daily operations. You will begin seeing the application of this
change with this report. In addition, as of August 31, your fund will be listed
in the daily newspapers by share class under the heading "Van Kampen Funds." For
your convenience, we have enclosed a separate brochure that covers additional
details related to these changes.
Economic Review
The U.S. economy continued to expand at a robust pace despite a deepening
recession in a number of Asian nations. The nation's inflation-adjusted output
of goods and services ran at 5.4 percent during the first quarter, an annualized
rate considered by many economists to be virtually unsustainable without leading
to inflation. As the reporting period ended, however, there were indications
that the Asian financial crisis was finally having a moderating impact on the
economy. Also, the Conference Board's index of leading indicators points toward
a slowdown in economic growth later this year.
Despite the generally solid pace of economic activity, inflation remained
benign. Consumer prices rose by 1.7 percent during the 12 months through June,
while producer prices actually declined during the same period. Falling
commodity prices and the impact of the strong dollar helped to offset the
inflationary implications of a tight labor market and strong consumer spending.
While the Federal Reserve kept short-term interest rates steady at 5.5
percent during the reporting period, minutes from the central bank's May policy
meeting indicated growing sentiment for tightening monetary policy if the drag
from Asia does not slow the American economy on its own.
Market Review
U.S. stocks continued to post gains during the period, but the sharp
variation in returns across industry groups reflected the growing impact of the
Asian financial crisis on corporate profits. The Wilshire 5000 Index, consisting
of all publicly traded U.S. companies, gained 14.68 percent during the first six
months of 1998. Once again, most of the strength was concentrated in large-
capitalization companies, as the S&P 500 Index of large stocks returned 17.67
percent during the period compared to 4.93 percent for the Russell 2000 Index of
small-cap issues. Even large stocks, however, fell back significantly beginning
in April as the Asian crisis intensified.
Companies with heavy exposure to domestic consumers benefited from a strong
American economy, especially during the latter stages of the reporting period.
Consumer cyclical stocks returned 28.94 percent during the first six months

of 1998, compared to 6.35 percent for basic materials and 3.01 percent for
energy issues. Eight of the ten top-performing industry groups during the second
quarter were from consumer-related sectors. Meanwhile, the steep decline in
energy and agricultural prices--a consequence of reduced demand from Asia--
undermined the performance of commodity-related stocks. During the three months
through June, five of the ten worst-performing industry sectors were from either
energy, metals, or commodity-based industries.
Outlook
We believe economic growth in the United States is likely to slow in coming
months as the impact of the Asian crisis becomes more apparent. As growth
decelerates, corporate profits will come under pressure, especially among large
companies. Given the difficult year-over-year earnings comparisons that will
begin to appear in coming quarters, we caution investors not to expect a
continuation of the large gains that have become almost routine for U.S. stocks
in recent years. The high valuations and decelerating profit growth could limit
returns in the equity market over the near term.
Still, the overall environment for equities remains positive. Inflation is
low, the economy continues to grow, the bond market is healthy, and monetary
policy is stable. These characteristics usually support relatively high
valuations in the stock market. We remain confident that the domestic equity
asset class will continue to provide solid growth for investors with a long-term
time horizon.
Additional details about your fund, including a question-and-answer section
with your portfolio management team, are provided in this report. As always, we
are pleased to have the opportunity to serve you and your family through our
diverse menu of quality investments.
Sincerely,
/s/ Don G. Powell /s/ Dennis J. McDonnell

Putting Your Fund's Performance in Perspective
As you evaluate your progress toward achieving your financial goals, it is
important to track your investment portfolio's performance at regular intervals.
A good starting point is a comparison of your investment holdings to an
applicable benchmark, such as a broad-based market index. Such a comparison can:
. Illustrate the general market environment in which your investments are
being managed
. Reflect the impact of favorable market trends or difficult market
conditions
. Help you evaluate the extent to which your Fund's management team has
responded to the opportunities and challenges presented to them over the
period measured
For these reasons, you may find it helpful to review the chart below,
which compares your Fund's performance to that of the Standard & Poor's 500-
Stock Index and the Lipper Growth Fund Index over time. The Standard & Poor's
500-Stock Index is a broad-based statistical composite, and does not reflect any
commissions which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the securities it
represents. The Lipper Growth Fund Index does not reflect any sales charges or
other costs which would be applicable to an actively managed portfolio, such as
that of the Fund.

The above chart reflects the performance of Class A shares of the Fund. The
performance of Class A shares will differ from that of other share classes of
the Fund because of the difference in sales charges and/or expenses paid by
shareholders investing in the different share classes. The Fund's performance
assumes reinvestment of all distributions and includes payment of the maximum
sales charge (5.75% for A shares).
While past performance is not indicative of future performance, the above
information provides a broader vantage point from which to evaluate the
discussion of the Fund's performance found in the following pages.

Portfolio Management Review
Van Kampen Pace Fund
We recently spoke to the management team of the Van Kampen Pace Fund about the
key events and economic forces that shaped the markets during the past year. The
team includes Dennis J. McDonnell, president of the adviser, and portfolio
comanagers Jeff D. New, B. Robert Baker, Jr., and John M. Cunniff. The following
excerpts reflect their views on the Fund's performance during the year ended
June 30, 1998.
Q Can you describe the stock market environment for the Fund during the
reporting period?
A The stock market was influenced by two opposing factors. On the home front,
steady economic growth and low inflation provided a very favorable climate
for stocks. However, a currency collapse in Southeast Asia threatened to slow
the economies of countries around the world. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
struggled through the last few months of 1997, trying to regain its momentum
after being unsettled by the Asian currency crisis in October. The Dow recovered
quickly and proceeded to hit record highs in early 1998. During the final months
of the reporting period, the Dow remained relatively flat, fluctuating around
the 9000 mark.
Investors continued to favor large, well-established companies during the
reporting period because of their uncertainty about how the Asian situation
would affect the U.S. markets. Generally, large-capitalization companies made
greater gains than small-cap companies did.
Q Given these events, what was your strategy in managing the Fund to
meet its objective?
A We maintain a consistent strategy of investing primarily in stocks of
large, well-established companies with above-average growth rates.
In selecting stocks for the portfolio, we use a "bottom up" investment process.
In other words, we evaluate stocks one by one and make purchases wherever we
find good investment opportunities, while preserving an economically diversified
portfolio. We also keep the Fund fully invested in stocks, under normal market
conditions. Accordingly, we didn't move a large portion of the Fund's assets
into cash last October, when U.S. markets declined in response to the Asian
crisis. This strategy proved successful--the Fund's stock holdings recovered
quickly when the market rebounded in November.
Q What significant changes did you make to the portfolio?
A Because we used a bottom-up selection process, our changes to the portfolio
were driven by our preference for individual stock selection rather than
any particular sector of the market. Therefore, our purchases represented a
broad range of industries, while our sector weightings stayed about the same.
Chase Manhattan, Dial, and Microsoft are a few of the stocks that became
top holdings during the reporting period. The stock performance of Chase
Manhattan benefited from the merger mania that swept the financial services
industry earlier this year. Chase strengthened its competitive position in the
past year by acquiring The Bank of New York's credit card business and Morgan
Stanley's global custody business. Based on these positive developments, we
added to our holding in Chase during the reporting period, and the position has
grown even larger due to stock price appreciation. In addition, we doubled the
size of our holding in Dial, a distributor of personal care, detergent, and
household products. Dial's sales have been driven by growth in its key brands,
Dial soap and Purex laundry detergent, while new product introductions and
continued cost cutting sparked favorable earnings growth.
Finally, software giant Microsoft had been under investigation by the
Department of Justice for possible antitrust violations. Among its demands, the
Department of Justice wanted the company to unbundle Internet Explorer, its
Internet browser software, from Microsoft's Windows 98. The stock weakened in
May after the lawsuit was filed. In mid-June, Microsoft gained an advantage when
the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the company, and Windows 98 was
launched successfully in late June. In an unusual turn of events, publicity
about the antitrust lawsuit helped Microsoft sell more copies than expected of
its new operating system, with very few advertising expenses. These positive
events helped boost Microsoft's share price at the end of the reporting period.

Q Which stocks supported Fund performance?
A Stocks from many sectors of the market--including autos, technology,
pharmaceuticals, retail, and brokerage stocks--fueled Fund performance
during the reporting period. The auto industry has benefited from steady
economic growth in the United States and in Europe. Ford Motor Company was a
large position in the Fund, and the stock doubled in price during the past year.
Ford has profited from its strong-selling F-series pickup trucks, its cost
reductions, and its lower-than-expected incentive costs.
The technology sector continued to be volatile. Earlier this year, an
oversupply of personal computers overwhelmed many areas of the technology
sector. Manufacturers such as Compaq Computer, which sells computers to
retailers and wholesalers for distribution, had to reduce production of new
computers until inventory supply and consumer demand regained its balance. We
sold most of our position in Compaq Computer at that time but held on to Dell
Computer, which rose more than 200 percent during the reporting period.
Investors also favored pharmaceutical stocks, given their steady earnings
growth and low exposure to Asia. Our large position in Schering Plough, which
appreciated 91 percent in the past year, contributed favorably to the Fund's
performance. The company delivered steady earnings growth through its strong
sales of Claritin, an allergy medication, and Intron A, a drug for the treatment
of hepatitis C.
The combination of low unemployment, rising disposable income, and a
flourishing housing market contributed to healthy gains in the retail sector. We
added to our positions in Tommy Hilfiger, Dayton Hudson, and TJX Companies, all
of which performed well during the reporting period.
Finally, Travelers Group announced in April that it is merging with Citibank
to form a global financial services powerhouse. The new combined entity,
Citigroup, will have asset management, brokerage operations, insurance, and
retail offices around the world. Citigroup hopes to enhance revenues by cross-
selling products and services.
Q What factors worked against the Fund?
A The most significant laggard in the portfolio was Philip Morris, our
largest holding at the end of the reporting period. In the spring, this
stock weakened amid uncertainty surrounding the outcome of a number of legal and
legislative issues. We added to Philip Morris when it became extremely cheap,
reaching historically low valuations, and we believe there are several factors
that could drive the stock upward. The most significant and likely catalyst
would be a more favorable resolution to the tobacco legislation than the
proposals recently debated in Washington. Although the outcome is unknown, we
think the stock adequately reflects the associated risks.
Despite this recent price decline, we held on to Philip Morris for a number of
reasons. First, the stock fits our criteria of strong fundamentals at an
attractive price. Tobacco firms have typically been high-growth companies, and
Philip Morris is very inexpensive right now compared to its historical values.
Second, tobacco stocks have routinely suffered bouts of negative sentiment, but
these periods have usually been followed by rebounds in stock price. Based on
these factors, we've maintained a sizable weighting in the stock. For additional
Fund portfolio highlights, please refer to page nine.
Q How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
A The Fund achieved a one-year total return of 29.89 percent/1/ (Class A
shares at net asset value) as of June 30, 1998. By comparison, the Standard
& Poor's 500-Stock Index returned 30.09 percent, and the Lipper Growth Fund
Index, which more closely resembles the Fund, returned 28.28 percent. The
S&P 500-Stock Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index that reflects the
general performance of the stock market, and the Lipper Growth Fund Index
reflects the average performance of the largest growth funds.
These indices are statistical composites that do not include any commissions
or sales charges that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities or
investments represented by these indices. Please refer to the chart on page
three for additional Fund performance results.

Q What is your outlook for the next six months?
A At the time of your last report, the effects of the Asian economic crisis
on the U.S. stock market were unclear but ominous. Today, its effects are
still uncertain, but the domestic outlook is more positive: the crisis has had a
severe impact on a few segments of the U.S. market but otherwise has been fairly
contained. The stock market reached new highs during the reporting period, and
we expect that controlled growth and low inflation will continue to support
stock prices during the remainder of the year. In addition, we believe that
well-established, domestically based companies will remain among the stock
market's better performers. The investment style of the Pace Fund is well suited
for these conditions, as we target large-company stocks with attractive growth
potential.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen Pace Fund, formerly known as Van Kampen American Capital Pace Fund,
(the "Fund") is organized as a Delaware business trust, and is registered as a
diversified open-end management investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term
growth of capital by investing principally in common stock. The Fund commenced
investment operations on July 22, 1969. The distribution of the Fund's Class B
and Class C shares commenced on January 10, 1992 and August 27, 1993,
respectively.
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 in securities listed on a securities exchange
are valued at their sale price as of the close of such securities exchange.
Unlisted securities and listed securities for which the last sale price is not
available are valued at the mean of the bid and asked prices or, if not
available, their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures
established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.
B. Security Transactions--Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost 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.
C. Income and Expenses--Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and
interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Original issue discounts on
debt securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of each
applicable security. Premiums on debt securities are not amortized. Expenses of
the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for
distribution and service fees and transfer agency costs which are unique to each
class of shares.
D. 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 to its shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
Net realized gain differs for financial reporting and tax purposes as a
result of the deferral for tax purposes of losses resulting from wash sales.
At June 30, 1998, for federal income tax purposes, cost of long- and short-
term investments is $2,797,906,284; the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation
is $1,121,214,760 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation is
$76,452,285, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $1,044,762,475.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
June 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. Distribution of Income and Gains--The Fund declares and pays dividends
annually from net investment income and from net realized gains on securities.
Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term
capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All short-term capital gains
and a portion of futures gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and
realized gains/losses under generally accepted accounting principles and federal
income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting
for the current fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified.
A permanent difference related to short-term gains totaling $3,457,329 has been
reclassified from accumulated net realized gain to accumulated net investment
income.
2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will
provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable
monthly as follows:
Average Net Assets % Per Annum
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
First $1 billion.......................................... .50 of 1%
Next $1 billion........................................... .45 of 1%
Next $1 billion........................................... .40 of 1%
Over $3 billion........................................... .35 of 1%
For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund recognized expenses of
approximately $88,200 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom (Illinois), counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the
Fund is an affiliated person.
For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Fund recognized expenses of
approximately $424,800 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. ("VKIS"), an affiliate of the Adviser,
serves as the shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. For the year ended June
30, 1998, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $4,409,800. Beginning in
1998, 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

================================================================================
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.
The Fund has a variety of reasons to use derivative instruments, such as to
attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its
portfolio or generate potential gain. All of the Fund'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 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.
During the period, the Fund 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 Fund
generally invests in stock index futures. These contracts are generally used to
provide the return of an index without purchasing all of the securities
underlying the index or to manage the Fund's overall exposure to the equity
markets.
Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund maintains, in a segregated
account with its custodian, securities with a value equal to its obligation
under the futures contracts. 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).
Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended June 30, 1998, were as
follows:

6. Distribution and Service Plans
The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and a service plan (collectively
the "Plans"). The Plans govern payments for the distribution of the Fund's
shares, ongoing shareholder services and maintenance of shareholder accounts.
Annual fees under the Plans of up to .25% of Class A net assets and 1.00%
each of Class B and Class C net assets are accrued daily. Included in these fees
for the year ended June 30, 1998, are payments retained by Van Kampen of
approximately $1,179,700.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Van Kampen Pace Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Van Kampen Pace Fund (the "Fund")
at June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net
assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit 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, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at June 30, 1998 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
the opinion expressed above.
