January 12, 1996
 
Dear Shareholder:
  The past twelve months have been very positive for most investors. Both the
fixed-income and equity markets have made considerable gains during the period
ended November 30, 1995.
  The year serves as a reminder of just how quickly markets can move and how
difficult it can be to predict the timing of those movements. Moreover, this
year reinforces the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective and
reaffirms the principle that it is time--not timing--that leads to investment
success.
 
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
  Although our nation's economy expanded at an unexpectedly robust pace during
the third quarter, economic growth in general slowed considerably in 1995.
This slowdown is largely due to the Federal Reserve Board's successful efforts
to contain inflationary pressures through a series of short-term rate
increases in 1994. However, mindful of recessionary pressures in a slower
economic environment, the Fed reversed its trend of raising interest rates by
lowering short-term rates twice during the year, most recently in December by
one-quarter percent.
  Because the Fed's monetary initiatives had taken hold without driving the
economy into a recession, the financial markets, particularly stocks, rallied
through much of the year and even reached new market highs. With slowing
growth, interest rates declined and the value of many fixed-income investments
rose (bond yields and prices move in opposite directions). For example, the
yield on 30-year Treasury securities fell from 7.88 percent at the end of
December 1994 to 6.22 percent at the end of November 1995, while its price
rose more than 22 percent. Likewise, the yield on the Bond Buyer's Municipal
Bond Index fell from 7.28 percent at the end of December to 5.74 percent at
the end of November. Although municipal bond yields have declined, they are
still offering competitive yields, particularly to those investors in higher
tax brackets.
 
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
  Although current economic data continue to send mixed signals, we anticipate
the economy will grow at an annual rate of 2 to 3 percent through the first
half of 1996 and inflation will run under 3 percent.
  Based upon a generally modest growth and low inflation environment, we
believe the outlook for fixed-income markets, including municipal bonds, is
positive. As interest rates fall in response to a slowing economy, we believe
yields on short-term municipal bonds will continue to move significantly lower
than long-term municipal bonds. Additionally, a steepening of the municipal
yield curve would likely increase investor demand for long-term municipal
bonds and help to boost market prices. Long-term municipal bond prices will
also benefit from the combination of expected low supply of new municipal bond
issues and increased demand driven by scheduled bond maturities.
  While there has been varied speculation about the impact of tax reform, no
one is certain about what will finally happen. Consequently, in the near term,
the municipal market may continue to experience periodic market fluctuations
as various proposals come to the forefront. However, in the long term, we
believe the municipal market will remain an attractive investment choice for
investors seeking a high level of current income. We will continue to keep a
close watch over any new developments and evaluate the potential impact they
may have on your investment.

                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 inter-
vals. 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 condi-
     tions
  .  Help you evaluate the extent to which your Fund's management team has re-
     sponded 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 Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index over time. As a broad-based, unmanaged statistical composite, this index
does not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an in-
vestor purchasing the securities it represents. Similarly, its performance
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 for the period ended November 30,
1995, and includes payment of the maximum sales charge (4.75% for A shares).
 
While past performance is not indicative of future performance, the above

                          PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
 
             VAN KAMPEN AMERICAN CAPITAL HIGH YIELD MUNICIPAL FUND
 
The following is an interview with the management team of Van Kampen American
Capital High Yield Municipal Fund. The team is led by Wayne D. Godlin,
portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for fixed-
income investments.
 
 Q WHAT MARKET CONDITIONS HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT ON THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE
   DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995?
 
 
 A  While 1994 was generally a down year for the bond markets, municipal bonds
    experienced a significant rally in 1995. The rally began early in the year
as the financial markets anticipated an interest rate cut by the Federal Re-
serve Board and remained strong throughout the reporting period. As interest
rates declined, bond values increased (bond yields and prices move in opposite
directions) resulting in good performance for the municipal market.
  The overall supply and demand relationship has also remained positive for
this market. The availability of municipal bonds (supply) has remained fairly
low, while demand remained relatively steady throughout the reporting period.
However, more recently, demand has waned somewhat due in part to uncertainty
about tax reform. We believe the general supply and demand ratio still favors
the market and should continue to contribute to its overall price stability.
 
 Q HOW DID YOU POSITION THE FUND IN RESPONSE TO THE EVENTS OF THE PAST YEAR?
 
 A  During the year, we did not reposition the Fund in any major way. Our fo-
    cus remained on maintaining a relatively stable net asset value, while de-
livering a competitive level of current income.
  In staying consistent with the Fund's long-term investment strategy, the
portfolio maintained its weighting in non-rated municipal bond issues
(approximately 72 percent) which helped to bolster the Fund's yield throughout
the year. These securities tend to provide higher yields than investment grade
bonds, while still meeting our stringent internal standards for credit
quality.
  To help reduce overall risk, the portfolio remained widely diversified among
many sectors and issues. Also, we maintained a focus on small- to mid-size
issues, an area where we felt we could add the most value to our shareholders
through research. Our extensive research capabilities help to identify the
best values among these smaller issues. We continued to hold a significant
amount of our holdings in health care and hospitals (currently about 20
percent), sectors in which our research abilities have proven especially
strong. We also sought to balance the portfolio's risk from non-rated
securities by holding a large number of them.
  The Fund's average weighted maturity remained in the 20-year range, and at
the end of the reporting period its duration was within the 6- to 7-year range
we have maintained throughout the year (duration is a measure of how a bond
will respond to changes in interest rates). By utilizing our disciplined
management approach of a moderately short duration along with strict internal
credit standards, we were able to provide shareholders with impressive long-
term returns over the past year. Keep in mind that past performance is not
necessarily indicative of future results.

 Q HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995?
 
 A  The Fund has maintained its record of consistently high performance. In
    fact, it earned Morningstar's highest five-star rating in its Municipal
Bond-National Category which contains a total of 240 funds. This five-star
rating is for the period beginning November 30, 1990 through November 30,
1995. Morningstar is an independent company that reviews and assigns quality
ratings to mutual funds.*
  Just as importantly, the Fund continued to provide investors with an
attractive level of tax-free income. At its current annualized dividend level
of $0.735 per share, the Fund provides shareholders with a tax-free
distribution rate of 6.26 percent/3/ (Class A shares) as of November 30, 1995.
At this distribution rate, the Fund provides shareholders in the 36 percent
federal income tax bracket with a yield equivalent to a taxable investment
earning 9.78 percent/4/.
  Overall, for the twelve months ended November 30, 1995, the Fund's total
return was 14.65 percent/1/ (for Class A shares based on net asset value). By
comparison, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index earned a total return of
18.90 percent over the same one-year period. The Index is a broad-based
unmanaged index of municipal bonds and does not reflect any commissions or
fees that would be paid by an investor purchasing the securities it
represents.
  During the 1995 market rally, this Fund did not offer the dramatic upside
potential that some of the other municipal bond funds with different
objectives showed. That's because this Fund is designed to be less responsive
to interest rate changes, and therefore should not react as strongly in a bull
market. Nevertheless, the Fund's performance was strong. And our careful
approach--intended to help reduce volatility--has consistently resulted in
impressive long-term results throughout the markets' ups and downs. (Please
refer to the chart on page three for additional Fund performance results.)
 
 Q WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND MORE
   SPECIFICALLY, FOR THE FUND ITSELF?
 
 
 A  Moving into 1996, we are looking forward to continued positive opportuni-
    ties in the municipal bond market and plan to maintain a focus on higher-
yielding, non-rated securities diversified among various municipal bond
issuers to seek consistent overall performance.
  Going forward, interest rates should remain low, although we don't expect
them to drop dramatically. However, with slow economic growth, low
inflationary pressures, and low-to-slightly declining interest rates, the U.S.
economic environment should continue to remain favorable for the municipal
bond market.
  On the political front, talk of tax reform is likely to continue throughout
the year, and promises to be one of the most important issues of the 1996
Presidential election. Given this, as various proposals come to the forefront,
investors should expect short-term market fluctuations--as we saw during the
debate over the U.S. health care system. We will keep a close watch over any
new developments, and adjust the portfolio accordingly. We continue to believe
municipal bonds are currently offering very attractive yields relative to
Treasuries and will continue to represent attractive buying opportunities.
 
 Q DOES THE FUND REMAIN CLOSED TO NEW INVESTORS? WHY? AND, WILL IT REOPEN IN
   1996?
 
 A  At the time of this report, the Fund remains closed. Briefly, that's due
    to the fact that this portfolio follows a "managed growth" policy. That
means we carefully monitor cash flow into the Fund, making sure that the mar-
ket's current supply and demand balance will allow us to effectively invest
the assets to achieve the Fund's objectives. When there appears to be more
cash coming in than we can effectively invest, it is in the best interest of
current shareholders to temporarily close the Fund.
  However, we may consider reopening the Fund to new investors for a brief
time early in January 1996. Of course, current shareholders may add to their
investments at any time.

*This five-star rating is a composite rating. The ratings for the 3 and 5 year
periods are also five stars. Morningstar is an independent mutual fund
performance monitor. Its rating of one star (lowest) and five stars (highest)
is based on a fund's historic risk/reward ratio compared with similar funds
for 3, 5 and 10 year periods including all sales charges and fees. 10% of the
funds in an asset class receive a five star rating. Fund performance is
relative to the 3-month treasury bill monthly return.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Van Kampen American Capital Tax-Exempt Trust--High Yield Municipal Fund (the
"Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
a diversified open-end management investment company.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS-Municipal bonds are valued at the most recently quoted
bid prices or at bid prices based on a matrix system (which considers such
factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings) furnished by
dealers and an independent pricing service. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Short-term investments with a
maturity of 60 days or less when purchased are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates market value. Short-term investments with a maturity of more than
60 days when purchased are valued based on market quotations until the
remaining days to maturity becomes less than 61 days. From such time, until
maturity, the investments are valued at amortized cost.
  The Fund's investments include lower rated and unrated debt securities which
may be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions than investment grade
holdings. These securities are often subordinated to the prior claims of other
senior lenders and uncertainties exist as to an issuer's ability to meet
principal and interest payments. Securities rated below investment grade and
comparable unrated securities represented approximately 80% of the Fund's
investment portfolio at the end of the period.
  Issuers of certain securities owned by the Fund may have obtained insurance
guaranteeing their timely payment of principal at maturity and interest. The
insurance reduces credit risk but not market risk of the security.
 
B. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS-A repurchase agreement is a short-term investment in
which a 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 American Capital Asset Management, Inc. ("The Adviser"),
the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements. Repurchase
agreements are collateralized by the underlying debt securities. 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. FUTURES CONTRACTS-Transactions in futures contracts are utilized in
strategies to manage the market risk of the Fund's investments. The purchase of
a futures contract increases the impact on net asset value of changes in the
market price of investments. There is also a risk that the market movement of
such instruments may not be in the direction forecasted.
  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. A portion of these funds is held as collateral in
an account in the name of the broker, the Fund's agent in acquiring the futures
position. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value
of the contract ("variation margin") are recognized by marking the contract to
market on a daily basis. As unrealized gains or losses are incurred, variation
margin payments are received from or made to the broker. Upon the closing or
cash settlement of a contract, gains and losses are realized. The cost of
securities acquired through delivery under a contract is adjusted by the
unrealized gain or loss on the contract.
 
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES-No provision for federal income taxes is required
because the Fund has elected to be taxed as "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to maintain this qualification by
annually distributing all of its taxable net investment income and taxable net
realized capital gains to its shareholders. It is anticipated that no
distributions of capital gains will be made until tax basis capital loss
carryforwards expire or are offset by net realized capital gains.
  The net realized capital loss carryforwards of $30.9 million at November 30,
1995 may be utilized to offset future capital gains until expiration from 1996
through 2003. Approximately 21% of the capital loss carryforwards may expire in
1996. Additionally, approximately $280,000 of financial statement capital
losses are deferred for tax purposes to the 1996 fiscal year.
 
E. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME-Investment
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is
accrued daily.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
F. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS-The Fund declares dividends from net investment
income on each business day. The Fund intends to continue to invest principally
in tax-exempt obligations sufficient in amount to qualify it to pay "exempt-
interest dividends" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
  The Fund distributes tax basis earnings in accordance with the minimum
distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. Such dividends or distributions may
exceed financial statement earnings.
 
G. DEBT DISCOUNT OR PREMIUM-The Fund accounts for discounts and premiums on the
same basis as is used for federal income tax reporting. Accordingly, original
issue discounts and all premiums are amortized over the life of the security.
Market discounts are recognized at the time of sale as realized gains for book
purposes and ordinary income for tax purposes.
 
H. WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES-Delivery and payment for securities purchased on a
when-issued basis may take place up to 45 days after the date of the
transaction. The securities purchased are subject to market fluctuation during
this period. To meet the payment obligations, sufficient cash or liquid
securities equal to the amount that will be due are set aside with the
custodian.
 
NOTE 2--MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Adviser serves as the investment manager of the Fund. Management fees are
paid monthly, based on the aggregate average daily net assets of the Fund at an
annual rate of .60% of the first $300 million of the average daily net assets,
 .55% of the next $300 million, and .50% of the amount in excess of $600
million. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all management fees in
excess of .5518% of the Fund's average daily net assets from October 1, 1995
through December 31, 1996.
  Accounting services include the salaries and overhead expenses of the Fund's
Treasurer and the personnel operating under his direction. Charges are
allocated among investment companies advised by the Adviser. For the period
these charges included $15,590 as the Fund's share of the employee costs
attributable to the Fund's accounting officers. A portion of the accounting
services expense was paid to the Adviser in reimbursement of personnel,
facilities and equipment costs attributable to the provision of accounting
services. These services provided by the Adviser are at cost.
  ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the
Fund's shareholder service agent. These services are provided at cost plus a
profit. For the period such fees aggregated $648,335.
  The Fund was advised that Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. (the
"Distributor") and Advantage Capital Corporation (the "Retail Dealer"), both
affiliates of the Adviser, received $399,162 and $173,684, respectively, as
their portion of the commissions charged on sales of Fund shares during the
period.
  Under the Distribution plans, each class of shares pays up to .25% per annum
of its average daily net assets to reimburse the Distributor for expenses and
service fees incurred. Class B and Class C shares pay an additional
distribution fee of up to .75% per annum of their average net assets to
reimburse the Distributor for its distribution expenses. Actual distribution
expenses incurred by the Distributor for Class B and Class C shares may exceed
the amounts reimbursed to the Distributor by the Fund. At the end of the
period, the unreimbursed expenses by the Distributor under the Class B and
Class C plans aggregated approximately $8.7 million and $161,000, respectively,
and may be carried forward and reimbursed through either the collection of the
contingent deferred sales charges from share redemptions or, subject to the
annual renewal of the plans, future Fund reimbursements of distribution fees.
  Legal fees of $9,988 were for services rendered by O'Melveny & Myers, counsel
for the Fund. Lawrence J. Sheehan, of counsel to that firm, is a trustee of the
Fund.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are officers and trustees of the
Adviser, the Distributor, the Retail Dealer, and the shareholder service agent.
 
NOTE 3--INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of
investments, excluding short-term investments, were $313,084,052 and
$174,290,201, respectively.
  For federal income tax purposes, the identified cost of investments owned at
the end of the period, was $733,359,754. Net unrealized appreciation of
investments aggregated $36,749,983, gross unrealized appreciation of
investments aggregated $41,055,004, and gross unrealized depreciation of
investments aggregated $4,305,021.

<PAGE>
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of
investments resulting from transactions between the Fund and other investment
companies advised by the Adviser were $100,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.
  Such transactions were at current market prices on the dates of the transac-
tions for cash payment against prompt delivery, with no brokerage commissions.
The sales transactions did not result in a net realized gain or loss to the
Fund.
 
NOTE 4--TRUSTEE COMPENSATION
Fund Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser are compensated by the
Fund at the annual rate of $1,562 plus a fee of $45 per day for the Board and
Committee meetings attended. During the period, such fees aggregated $22,889.
  The trustees may participate in a voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan (the
"Plan"). The Plan is not funded and obligations under the Plan will be paid
solely out of the Fund's general accounts. The Fund will not reserve or set
aside funds for the payment of obligations under the Plan, by any form of trust
or escrow. Each trustee covered by the Plan elects to be credited with an
earnings component on amounts deferred equal to the income earned by the Fund
on its short-term investments or equal to the total return of the Fund.
 
NOTE 5--CAPITAL
The Fund offers three classes of shares at their respective net asset values
per share, plus a sales charge which is imposed either at the time of purchase
(the Class A shares) or at the time of redemption on a contingent deferred
basis (the Class B and Class C shares). All classes of shares have the same
rights, except that Class B and Class C shares bear the cost of a higher
distribution services fee and certain other class specific expenses. Realized
and unrealized gains or losses, investment income and expenses (other than
class specific expenses) are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of net assets of each class. Class B and Class C shares
automatically convert to Class A shares six years and ten years after purchase,
respectively, subject to certain conditions.
  The Fund has an unlimited number of shares of $.01 par value shares of
beneficial interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest
were as follows:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
VAN KAMPEN AMERICAN CAPITAL TAX EXEMPT TRUST--HIGH YIELD MUNICIPAL 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 American Capital Tax
Exempt Trust--High Yield Municipal Fund (the "Fund") at November 30, 1995, the
results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the fiscal 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 audits 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 November 30, 1995 by
correspondence with the custodian and the application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
