Letter to Shareholders

January 24, 1996

Dear Shareholder,
  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed during
1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, driven by a 
combination of continuing economic growth and low inflation. The strength of 
equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly impressive because 
it followed a year in which both markets declined. People who remained invested
during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the markets, while investors who
retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed out on the double-digit returns.

  The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of maintaining
a long-term perspective for your investments. While the environment for stocks 
and bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 will see a repeat of the 
markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the long-term, stocks have 
outperformed virtually all other types of investments, and bonds have met
the needs of investors who seek capital preservation and regular income.

Economic Overview
  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
year-end. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services 
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the 
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower 
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's 
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.    
  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond 
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock 
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury 
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the 
beginning of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite 
directions, bond prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates 
further if Congress and the President are able to reach an agreement on the 
federal budget, provided economic conditions justify further easing.    
  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from 
the impact of the Internet, telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers.
U.S. companies with global operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S. 
dollar.

Economic Outlook  
  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interest-sensitive industries, such as
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996.    
  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. The
outlook for the fixed-income market -- including municipal bonds -- is positive,
too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit from a stable
U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by a number of 
recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the nation's blue chip 
industry leaders.    
  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election 
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue 
throughout the year. See the winter issue of "Your Portfolio" for a detailed 
discussion of tax reform.    
  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

The terms of the insurance are more fully described in the Fund's prospectus; no
representation is made as to the insurer's ability to meet its commitments. In
addition, the insurance does not remove market risk, as it does not apply to the
value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio, which may increase or decrease
depending on interest rates and other factors affecting the municipal credit 
markets.

See the Fund Performance section of the current prospectus. Past performance
does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset value will
fluctuate with market conditions. Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

                  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 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
investor 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 December 31,
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 
information provides a broader vantage point from which to evaluate the

                       Portfolio Management Review

               Van Kampen American Capital Insured Tax Free Income Fund

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
Insured Tax Free Income Fund about the key events and economic forces which
shaped the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes Joe Piraro, 
portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for fixed-income
investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the Fund's 
performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.

Q   It appears that 1995 was a good year for fixed-income investors. How well 
    did the Fund perform in these markets?

A   It did very well. Any time you have an insured, tax-free bond portfolio
    generating a total return at net asset value of 17.49 percent<F1> (Class A 
    shares) over a twelve-month time period, you know you've just had a good 
    year. 

      The Fund continued to provide a respectable level of tax-exempt income, 
    with a distribution rate of 5.00 percent<F3> as of December 31, 1995. For an
    investor in the 36 percent federal income tax bracket, that's the equivalent
    of earning 7.81 percent<F4> on a taxable investment. Reflecting the lower 
    interest rate environment that we've seen since the first quarter of 1995, 
    the Fund's dividend was slightly decreased effective January 1, 1996. This 
    reduced dividend represents a distribution rate of 4.85 percent<F3> based 
    on the December 31, 1995 offer price of $20.52 for Class A shares. 
    Additionally, the Fund's net asset value closed the fiscal year at $19.55 
    per share, up from $17.57 per share at the end of fiscal year 1994. 

      In comparison to the total return of the Lehman Brother's Municipal Bond 
    Index, which was 17.46 percent for the twelve months through December 31, 
    1995, the Fund's performance was comparable with a return for Class A 
    shares of 17.49 percent<F1> over the same period. Overall, we are pleased 
    with the Fund's performance and feel that it was well positioned to take 
    advantage of the markets we encountered in 1995. (Please refer to the chart 
    on page three for additional Fund performance results.)

Q   What were some of the important events or market conditions of 1995 and 
    how did the Fund respond?

A   The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal 
    securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the 
    environment for investing in fixed-income securities was extremely 
    favorable across the board.
 
      Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2 
    percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. 
    As a result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the 
    fed funds rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and again 
    by one-quarter of a percentage point in December. Naturally, bond prices 
    were driven higher as rates trended downward over the course of the year 
    (bond prices go up when rates go down, and vice versa).
  
      Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in 
    the year was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable.
    The market was looking for a positive budget compromise, no matter how long 
    it might take to come about. Even though the possibility of tax reform 
    weighed on the market to some extent, the belief that progress on the 
    federal budget deficit would be made helped to bolster municipal bonds, 
    especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.

      The Fund responded well to the lower interest rate environment of the 
    past year. We maintained the Fund's investment strategy by continuing to 
    invest in a diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities.

Q   What were some of the challenges you faced in managing the Fund?

A   Perhaps one of the more interesting challenges we tackled in 1995 was the 
    task of assimilating the assets of the American Capital Tax Exempt Trust -- 
    Insured Municipal Portfolio into the Fund.  The combination of the Funds 
    went very smoothly.

      In terms of the markets, we saw the supply of municipal securities 
    running a bit behind last year's pace, but a full 40 percent of the market 
    was in the insured sector. We really had no trouble putting the Fund's 
    assets to work in issues that we considered to be attractive.
  
      We continued to rely on our strong internal credit research team to help 
    us identify the issues that appear to offer the greatest relative value. 
    As of December 31, 1995, the Fund held a significant portion of its assets 
    (23.83 percent) in issues from the health care industry, a sector in which 
    our research is especially strong.

Q   What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months ahead?


A   We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive for
    fixed-income securities in the near term. Inflation appears to be under 
    control and the economy shows no signs of overheating.
  
      Additionally, the Fed seems to be pursuing a gradual easing of monetary 
    policy. In fact, we believe another cut or two in the fed funds rate during 
    the first half of 1996 may not be out of the question. There seems to be 
    room for short-term interest rates to trend lower, which is a good sign for 
    long-term rates as well.
  
      We believe all of these factors add up to a favorable scenario in which 
    the Fund can pursue its investment objective.

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

1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen American Capital Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund") is 
organized as a series of Van Kampen American Capital Tax-Free Fund (the 
"Trust"),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 investors 
with a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, with 
liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through an investment in a 
diversified portfolio of insured municipal securities. The Fund commenced 
the distribution of its Class B and Class C shares on May 1, 1993 and 
August 13, 1993, respectively. On May 2, 1995, all Class D shareholders 
redeemed their shares and the class was eliminated. The Fund will no longer 
offer Class D shares.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation--Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days are valued at 
amortized cost.

B. Security Transactions--Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses aredetermined on an identified cost basis. The
Fund 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 Fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or delayed delivery 
purchase commitments until payment is made. 

C. Investment Income and Expenses--Interest income and expenses are recorded on
an accrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount are amortized over
the expected life of each applicable security.
  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.

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.
  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 loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. 
At December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for
tax purposes of $5,502,403. Of this amount, $91,852, $17,995, $110,103,
$595,553, $319,218 and $4,367,682 will expire on December 31, 1996, 1997, 2000,
2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. On December 31, 1995, $5,073,610 of the 
Fund's capital loss carryforward expired, resulting in a permanent book and tax
basis difference. Accordingly, this difference was reclassified from accumulated
net realized loss on investments to Class A share paid in surplus.

                             December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. Distribution of Income and Gains--The Fund declares daily and pays monthly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are 
distributed annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes 
may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income 
for tax purposes. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to 
shareholder distributions totaling $55,897 have been reclassified from 
undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized gain/loss 
on investments. For Federal income tax purposes, expenses related to the 
production of tax-exempt income do not reduce current earnings and profits, 
thus creating permanent book and tax basis differences relating to the 
recognition of expenses totaling $31,167. These differences in addition to 
permanent differences relating to the recognition of expenses associated 
with fund mergers (see note 3) totaling $190,000, have been reclassified 
from accumulated undistributed net investment income to paid in surplus.

F. Insurance Expenses--The Fund typically invests in insured bonds. Any 
portfolio securities not specifically covered by a primary insurance policy 
are insured secondarily through the Fund's portfolio insurance policy. 
Insurance premiums are based on the daily balances of uninsured bonds in the 
portfolio of investments and are charged to expense on an accrual basis. The
insurance policy guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on
the securities in the Fund's portfolio.



2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen American
Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") will provide investment advice
and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:

</TABLE>


  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person.
  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $323,700 representing Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, 
Inc.'s or its affiliates' (collectively "VKAC") cost of providing accounting, 
cash management, legal and certain shareholder services (prior to July, 1995)
to the Fund.
  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the period
ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $614,500,
representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services
plus a profit.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of
VKAC. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are officers of
VKAC.
  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the 
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was 
approximately $53,900.
  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares each of Classes B and C.

  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 six years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales 
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental
transfer agency costs.

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, VKAC, as Distributor for the Fund, 
received net commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares of approximately
$601,200 and CDSC on the redeemed shares of Classes B, C and D of approximately
$150,500. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.
  On September 27, 1995, the Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of
the Van Kampen American Capital Tax-Exempt Trust-Insured Municipal Portfolio
(the "AC Fund"), through a tax free reorganization approved by AC Fund share
holders on September 21, 1995. The Fund issued 3,513,425 Class A shares,
1,958,037 Class B shares and 73,421 Class C shares valued at $65,701,115,
$36,595,879 and $1,372,231, respectively, in exchange for AC Fund's net assets.
Included in these net assets was a capital loss carryforward of $6,195,557 which
is included in accumulated net realized gain/loss on investments and cumulative
book and tax basis timing differences of $8,395 which is a component of
undistributed net investment income. Shares issued in connection with this 
reorganization are included in common share sales for the current period. 
Combined net assets on the date of acquisition were $1,236,253,953.



4. Investment Transactions

Aggregate purchases and cost of sales of investment securities, excluding 
short-term notes, for the year ended December 31, 1995, were $1,049,348,266 and
$882,920,002, 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.
  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 and to manage the portfolio's effective yield, maturity and duration.
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 on investments. Upon disposition, a realized gain or
loss is recognized accordingly, except for exercised option contracts where the
recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security 
underlying the option contract.
  Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments
used by the Fund.

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
Fund generally invests in futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal Bond
Index and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. These
contracts are generally used to manage the portfolio's effective maturity and 
duration.

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

  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the contracts
are closed or expire.
  Transactions in futures contracts, each with a par value of $100,000, for the
year ended December 31, 1995, were 
as follows:

B. Indexed Securities--These instruments are identified in the portfolio of
investments. The price of these securities may be more volatile than the price 
of a comparable fixed rate security.
  An Inverse Floating security is one where the coupon is inversely indexed to a
short-term floating interest rate multiplied by a specified factor. As the
floating rate rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate
declines, the coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the
Fund to enhance the yield of the portfolio.
  An Embedded Swap security includes a swap component such that the fixed coupon
component of the underlying bond is adjusted by the difference between the
securities fixed swap rate and the floating swap index. As the floating rate
rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate declines, the
coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the Fund to enhance
the yield of the portfolio.


6. Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the 
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act 
of 1940 and a service plan (the "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 shares and 1.00% each 
of Class B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for 
the year ended December 31, 1995, are payments to VKAC of approximately
$566,400.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Van Kampen American Capital Insured Tax Free Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen American Capital Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund"), including the

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of 
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. 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

                      Letter to Shareholders


January 24, 1996

Dear Shareholder,
  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed during
1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, driven by a 
combination of continuing economic growth and low inflation. The strength
of equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly impressive 
because it followed a year in which both markets declined. People who
remained invested during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the markets, 
while investors who retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed out on
the double-digit returns.
  The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of 
maintaining a long-term perspective for your investments. While the 
environment for stocks and bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 
will see a repeat of the markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the
long-term, stocks have outperformed virtually all other types of investments,
and bonds have met the needs of investors who seek capital preservation and 
regular income.

Economic Overview
  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed 
toward year-end. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent 
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the 
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower 
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage
point in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 
is expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.    
  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock 
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury 
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the beginning
of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, bond 
prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates further if Congress and 
the President are able to reach an agreement on the federal budget, provided 
economic conditions justify further easing.    
  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The 
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from
the impact of the Internet, telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers.
U.S. companies with global operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S. 
dollar.

Economic Outlook  

  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second 
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower 
rates will have the greatest impact on interest-sensitive industries, such as 
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996. 
  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. 
The outlook for the fixed-income market---including municipal bonds--is 
positive, too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit 
from a stable U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by 
a number of recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the 
nation's blue chip industry leaders.    
  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could 
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the 
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue 
throughout the year. See the winter issue of Your Portfolio for a detailed 
discussion of tax reform.    
  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming 
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

     theoretically generate for the 30-day period ending December 30, 1995. Had 
     certain expenses of the Fund not been assumed by the adviser, the SEC Yield
     would have been 4.84%, 4.29% and 4.29% for Classes A, B and C, respectively, and
     total returns would have been lower.

                  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 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
investor 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 December 31,
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 Tax Free High Income Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
Tax Free High Income Fund about the key events and economic forces which shaped
the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes David C. Johnson, 
portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for fixed-income
investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the Fund's 
performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.


Q   What were some of the important events or market conditions that had an
    impact on the Fund's performance during 1995?

A   The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal 
    securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the 
    environment for investing in fixed-income securities was extremely 
    favorable across the board.
       Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 
    2 percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace.
    As a result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the 
    federal funds rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and 
    again, by one-quarter of a percentage point, in December. Naturally, bond 
    prices were driven higher as rates trended downward over the course of the
    year (bond prices go up when rates go down, and vice versa).
       Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in 
    the year was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable.
    The market anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted 
    accordingly. Even though the possibility of tax reform weighed on the 
    market to some extent, the belief that progress on the federal budget 
    deficit would be made helped to bolster municipal bonds, especially at the 
    longer end of the maturity spectrum.


Q   How well did the Fund perform under these conditions?

A   The Fund posted solid results for the fiscal year. Class A share 
    total return, at net asset value, for the twelve months ended 
    December 31, 1995, was 15.52 percent<F1>, compared to the total 
    return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based,
    unmanaged index, which was 17.46 percent for the same period. The 
    Fund's net asset value rose sharply to $14.98 per share, up from 
    $13.85 per share at the beginning of the year.
        The Fund's Class A share tax-exempt distribution rate as of 
    December 31, 1995, was 6.10 percent<F3>, representing a 
    taxable-equivalent distribution rate of 9.53 percent<F4> for an 
    investor in the 36 percent federal income tax bracket. (Please 
    refer to the chart on page three for additional Fund performance
    results.)


Q  How was the Fund managed to take advantage of 1995 market conditions?

A  The Fund maintained its portfolio which is barbelled from a rating 
   distribution perspective. While approximately 29 percent of assets are 
   AAA-rated (Standard & Poor's Ratings Group's highest rating), 38 percent
   of the Fund's assets are invested in non-rated securities (as of 
   December 31, 1995). One of our challenges was to find the highest 
   relative value among the lower-rated debt issues in the marketplace. The 
   purpose of this barbell approach is twofold: the higher-yielding 
   securities provide strength on the income side, while the investment-grade
   issues have provided price stability. 


5
 
       In that respect, we have a very strong internal credit research team 
   which helps evaluate municipal issues for the portfolio. The team includes
   six analysts who focus on the high yield sector and dedicated analysts who 
   focus on the health care industry. The Fund's largest exposures are to the 
   health care industry (18.4 percent of assets) and to the industrial revenue
   sector (14.7 percent of assets). Of total health care exposure, 60 percent
   is investment-grade and 40 percent is lower-rated, higher-yielding 
   securities.

*Other consists of 10 sectors each of less than 4.5%

Q  What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months ahead?

A  We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive for
   fixed-income securities in the near-term. Inflation appears to be under 
   control and the economy shows no sign of overheating.
      We anticipate the Fed will continue its accommodative monetary policy 
   and reduce the fed funds rate further during the first half of 1996. 
   Based on the historically high level of real interest rates (market rates 
   less the inflation rate), there seems to be room for short-term interest 
   rates to trend lower, which is a good sign for long-term rates as well.
      We expect the supply of new municipal issues to be somewhat flat in 
   1996, but refunding activity should be high as the lower interest rate 
   environment makes it more attractive for municipalities to retire their
   higher-yielding outstanding issues. 
      We remain confident that the portfolio is well positioned to take 
   advantage of what appears to be a continuation of the favorable 
   environment for investing in the municipal bond market.

                      Notes to Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free High Income Fund (the "Fund") is organized
as a series of the Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust, a Delaware
business trust (the "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 investors with a high
level of current income exempt from federal income taxes primarily through 
investment in a diversified portfolio of medium and lower grade municipal
securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on June 28, 1985. The
distribution of the Fund's Class B and Class C shares commenced on May 1, 1993 
and August 13, 1993, respectively. On July 7, 1995, all Class D shareholders 
redeemed their shares and the class was eliminated. The Fund will no longer 
offer Class D shares.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation-Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Investments
valued using estimates of market value are generally those non-rated securities
in which the Fund owns over 90% of the original bond issue. At December 31, 
1995, 17% of the Fund's net assets consisted of such securities. Short-term 
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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 Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with its 
custodian, assets having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of 
the when issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is
made. 

C. Investment Income and Expenses-Interest income is recorded on an accrual
basis. Bond premium and original issue discount are amortized over the expected
life of each applicable security.
  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.

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.
  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 December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss 
carryforward for tax purposes of $73,224,534. Of this amount, $1,295,852,
$42,680,935 and $29,247,747 will expire on December 31, 1999, 2002 and 2003, 
respectively. Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax 
reporting purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of post October 31
losses and the capitalization of reorganization and restructuring costs for tax
purposes.

                                 December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E. Distribution of Income and Gains-The Fund declares daily and pays monthly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are 
distributed annually. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of 
interest income under generally accepted accounting principles and federal
income tax purposes, for those securities which the Fund has placed on 
non-accrual status, the amount of distributable net investment income may 
differ between book and federal income tax purposes for a particular period.
These differences are temporary in nature, but may result in book basis 
distributions in excess of net investment income for certain periods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen American
Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") will provide investment advice
and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:

</TABLE>

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $27,000 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom, counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an
affiliated person.
  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $224,000 representing Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, 
Inc.'s or its affiliates' (collectively "VKAC") cost of providing accounting, 
cash management, legal and certain shareholder services (prior to July, 1995) to
the Fund.
  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $342,000, 
representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services
plus a profit.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of
VKAC. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are officers of
VKAC.
  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the 
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was 
approximately $39,900.
  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares each of Classes B and C.

  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 six years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales 
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental 
transfer agency costs.

4. Investment Transactions

Aggregate purchases and cost of sales of investment securities, excluding 
short-term notes and reorganization and restructuring costs, for the year ended
December 31, 1995, were $438,831,202 and $442,773,880, 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.
  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 and to manage the portfolio's effective yield, maturity and duration.
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 on investments. Upon disposition, a realized gain or
loss is recognized accordingly, except for exercised option contracts where the
recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security
underlying the option contract.
  Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments
used by the Fund.

A. Option Contracts-An option contract gives the buyer the right, but not the
obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying item at a fixed exercise
price during a specified period. These contracts are generally used by the Fund
to manage the portfolio's effective maturity and duration.
  Transactions in options for the year ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

</TABLE>


B.  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 
Fund generally invests in futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal Bond
Index and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. These 
contracts are generally used to manage the portfolio's effective maturity and 
duration.
  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the contracts
are closed or expire. Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended 
December 31, 1995, were as follows:

</TABLE>


C.  Indexed Securities-These instruments are identified in the portfolio of
investments. The price of these securities may be more volatile than the 
price of a comparable fixed rate security.
  An Inverse Floating security is one where the coupon is inversely indexed to a
short-term floating interest rate multiplied by a specified factor. As the
floating rate rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate 
declines, the coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the
Fund to enhance the yield of the portfolio.
  An Embedded Swap security includes a swap component such that the fixed coupon
component of the underlying bond is adjusted by the difference between the 
security's fixed swap rate and the floating swap index. As the floating rate 
rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate declines, the
coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the Fund to enhance
the yield of the portfolio.

6. Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and a service plan (the "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% for Class A shares and 1.00% each
for Class B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for 
the year ended December 31, 1995 are payments to VKAC of approximately 
$1,016,600.

                         Independent Auditors' Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free High Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen American Capital Tax Free High Income Fund (the "Fund"), including the 
portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement
of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial 
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund'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 generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of 
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. 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 American Capital Tax Free High Income Fund as of December 31, 1995, the 
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

                     Letter to Shareholders


January 30, 1996

Dear Shareholder,

  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed
during 1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, driven
by a combination of continuing economic growth and low inflation. The
strength of equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly
impressive because it followed a year in which both markets declined. People
who remained invested during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the 
markets, while investors who retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed 
out on the double-digit  returns.

  The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of maintaining
a long-term perspective for your investments. While the environment for stocks
and bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 will see a repeat of the
markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the long-term, stocks have
outperformed virtually all other types of investments, and bonds have met the
needs of investors who seek capital preservation and regular income.

Economic Overview

  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
year-end. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's 
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.

  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the beginning
of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, bond
prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates further if Congress and
the President are able to reach an agreement on the federal budget, provided
economic conditions justify further easing.

  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from
the impact of the internet, telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers.
U.S. companies with global operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S. 
dollar.

Economic Outlook

  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interest-sensitive industries, such as
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996.

  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of 
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. The
outlook for the fixed-income market--including municipal bonds--is positive,
too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit from a stable
U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by a number of
recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the nation's blue chip 
industry leaders.

  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has 
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue
throughout the year. See the winter issue of Your Portfolio for a detailed
discussion of tax reform.

  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

contingent deferred sales charge for early withdrawal (3% for B shares and 1% 
for C shares).

<F3>Distribution rate represents the monthly annualized distributions of the Fund
at the end of the period and not the earnings of the Fund.

<F4>Taxable equivalent calculations reflect a combined federal and state income tax
rate of 43%, which takes into consideration the deductibility of individual
state taxes paid.

<F5>SEC Yield is a standardized calculation prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for determining the amount of net income a portfolio should
theoretically generate for the 30-day period ending December 30, 1995. Had 
certain expenses of the Fund not been assumed by VKAC, the SEC Yield would have
been 3.98%, 3.35% and 3.35% for Classes A, B and C, respectively and total
returns would have been lower.

See the Fund Performance section of the current prospectus. Past performance
does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset value will
fluctuate with market conditions. Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

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

  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 investor
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 December 31,
1995, and includes payment of the maximum sales charge (3.25% 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

                           Portfolio Management Review


  Van Kampen American Capital California Insured Tax Free Fund

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
California Insured Tax Free Fund about the key events and economic forces which
shaped the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes Joseph A.
Piraro, portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for
fixed-income investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the
Fund's performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.

Q: What were some of the important events or market conditions that had an
impact on the Fund's performance during 1995? 

A: The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal
securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the
environment for investing in fixed-income securities was extremely favorable
across the board.
  
   Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2
percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. As a
result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the federal
funds rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and again, by
one-quarter of a percentage point, in December. Naturally, bond prices were
driven higher as rates trended downward over the course of the year (bond prices
and yields move in opposite directions).
 
   Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in the
year was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable. The
market anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted accordingly. Even
though the possibility of tax reform weighed on the market to some extent, the
belief that progress on the federal budget deficit would be made helped to
bolster municipal bonds, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.


Q: What were some of the challenges you faced in managing the Fund, and how was
it positioned to take advantage of market conditions? 

A: In the California municipal market, the repercussions of the Orange County
situation continued to dissipate. The market seems confident that the Orange
County  default was an isolated incident and that an orderly resolution is
imminent, probably in the first half of 1996.

  Still, total issuance of municipal debt in the state was down by approximately
5 percent, though the volume is still the largest of any single state in the
nation. A large portion of that volume is in the insured sector, so we have
plenty of opportunity to put the Fund's assets to work.

  We took advantage of the positive 1995 bond market by maintaining the Fund's 
portfolio of 100 percent AAA-rated insured securities. We continued to rely on
our strong internal credit research team to help us identify the issues that
appeared to offer the greatest relative value. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund
held a significant portion of its assets (21.2 percent) in issues from the tax
district sector, an area in which our research is especially strong.

Public Building 14.9%
Health Care 12.5%
Water and Sewer 11.9%
General Purpose 11.4%
Other 5.1%
Higher Education 3.3%

 
Q: How well did the Fund perform under these conditions?

A: We had a strong year, providing shareholders with a total return at net asset
value of 18.28 percent<F1> (Class A shares) over the twelve months ended
December 31, 1995.

The Fund continues to provide an attractive level of tax-exempt income,
with a Class A share distribution rate of 4.84 percent<F3> as of December 31,
1995. Since income for the Fund is exempt from federal and state income taxes,
it is important to compare the Fund's distribution rate to an equivalent taxable
rate. For example, for California residents in the combined marginal tax bracket
of 43 percent, the Fund's Class A share distribution rate represents a yield
equivalent to a taxable investment earning 8.49 percent<F4>. At the same time,
the Fund's Class A share net asset value closed the fiscal year at $17.74 per
share, up from $15.80 per share at the end of the last fiscal year.

In comparison to the total return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a
broad-based, unmanaged index, which was 17.46 percent for the twelve months
through December 31, 1995, the Fund's performance at net asset value was
somewhat higher. (Please refer to the chart on page three for additional Fund
performance results.)

Q: What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months ahead?

A: We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive
for fixed-income securities in the near-term. Inflation appears to be under
control and the economy shows no signs of overheating. 

As the Fed eases its monetary policy, we anticipate further cuts in the fed
funds rate during the first half of 1996. Based on the historically high level
of real interest rates (market rates less the inflation rate), there seems to
be room for short-term interest rates to trend lower, which is a good sign for
long-term rates as well.

  We expect the supply of new municipal issues to follow the trend of 1995 and
remain somewhat low in 1996. However, refunding activity should be high as the
lower interest rate environment makes it more attractive for municipalities to
retire their higher-yielding outstanding issues.

  In general, conditions appear positive for the continuation of a favorable
environment in which to invest in fixed-income securities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen American Capital California Insured Tax Free Fund (the "Fund") is 
organized as a series of the Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust, 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 California investors with a high level
of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, with
liquidity and safety of principal, primarily through investment in a diversified
portfolio of insured California municipal securities. The Fund commenced 
investment operations on December 13, 1985. The distribution of the Fund's Class
B shares and Class C shares commenced on May 1, 1993, and August 13, 1993, 
respectively.

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation--Investments are stated at value using market quotations
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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 Fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or delayed delivery
purchase commitments until payment is made.

C. Investment Income and Expense--Interest income  and expenses are recorded on
an accrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount are amortized over 
the expected life of each applicable security.
  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.

                        December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, 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 December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss 
carry forward for tax purposes of $7,345,503. Of this amount, $1,014,876, 
$105,997, $5,623,922 and $600,708 will expire on December 31, 1996, 2001,
2002 and 2003, respectively. Net realized gains or losses may differ for
financial and tax reporting purposes primarily as a result of post October
31 losses which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of
the following fiscal year. On December 31, 1995, $100,459 of the Fund's
capital loss carryforward expired, resulting in a permanent book and tax
basis difference. Accordingly, this difference was reclassified from
accumulated net realized loss on investments to Class A share capital.

E. Distribution of Income and Gains--The Fund declares daily and pays monthly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually.

F. Insurance Expense--The Fund typically invests in insured bonds. Any portfolio
securities not specifically covered by a primary insurance policy are insured 
secondarily through the Fund's portfolio insurance policy. Insurance premiums
are based on the daily balances of uninsured bonds in the portfolio of
investments and are charged to expense on an accrual basis. The insurance policy
guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities in the
Fund's portfolio.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen American
Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") will provide investment
advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable monthly as follows:

  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person.

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $53,500 representing Van Kampen American Capital Distributors,
Inc.'s or its affiliates' (collectively "VKAC") cost of providing accounting, 
cash management, legal and certain shareholder services (prior to July, 1995) to
the Fund.

  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $68,000,
representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services
plus a profit.

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

  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was
approximately $46,000.

  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares each of Classes B and C.

3. Capital Transactions

The Fund has outstanding three classes of common shares, Classes A, B and C each
with a par value of $.01 per share. There are an unlimited number of shares of
each class authorized.

  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 four years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental
transfer agency costs.

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, VKAC, as Distributor for the Fund, 
received net commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares of approximately
$31,800 and CDSC on the redeemed shares of Classes B and C of approximately 
$56,900. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions

Aggregate purchases and cost of sales of investment securities, excluding 
short-term notes, for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $73,460,026 and 
$68,394,721, 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.
 
 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 and to manage the portfolio's effective yield, maturity and duration.
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 on investments. Upon disposition, a realized gain or
loss is recognized accordingly.

  Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments
used by the Fund.

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
Fund generally invests in futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal Bond
Index and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. These
contracts are generally used to manage the portfolio's effective maturity and 
duration.

  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account.

  Transactions in futures contracts, each with a par value of $100,000, for the
year ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

B. Indexed Securities--These instruments are identified in the portfolio of 
investments. The price of these securities may be more volatile than the price
of a comparable fixed rate security.

  An Inverse Floating security is one where the coupon is inversely indexed to a
short- term floating interest rate multiplied by a specified factor. As the
floating rate rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate
declines, the coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the
Fund to enhance the yield of the portfolio.

  An Embedded Swap security includes a swap component such that the fixed coupon
component of the underlying bond is adjusted by the difference between the 
securities fixed swap rate and the floating swap index. As the floating rate
rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate declines, the
coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the Fund to enhance
the yield of the portfolio.

6. Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and a service plan (the "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 shares and 1.00% each of
Class B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for the 
year ended December 31, 1995, are payments to VKAC of approximately $192,000.

                   Independent Auditors' Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the
Van Kampen American Capital California Insured Tax Free Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van 
Kampen American Capital California Insured Tax Free Fund (the "Fund"),
including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and
financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund'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 generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. 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 American Capital California Insured Tax Free Fund as of December 31,
1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Letter to Shareholders

January 24, 1996

Dear Shareholder,

  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed during
1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, driven by a
combination  of continuing economic growth and low inflation. The strength
of equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly impressive
because it followed a year in which both markets declined. People who
remained invested during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the markets,
while investors who retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed out on
the double-digit returns.

  The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of
maintaining a long-term perspective for your investments. While the environment
for stocks and bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 will see a
repeat of the markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the long-term,
stocks have outperformed virtually all other types of investments, and bonds
have met the needs of investors who seek capital preservation and regular
income.

Economic Overview

  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
year-end. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.    

  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the beginning
of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, bond
prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates further if Congress and
the President are able to reach an agreement on the federal budget, provided
economic conditions justify further easing.    

  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from
the impact of the Internet, telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers.
U.S. companies with global operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S.
dollar.

Economic Outlook  

  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interest-sensitive industries, such
as housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will
be some cyclical upward pressure in 1996. 
  

  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles.
The outlook for the fixed-income market---including municipal bonds--is
positive, too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit
from a stable U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by
a number of recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the
nation's blue chip industry leaders.    

  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue
throughout the year. See the winter issue of Your Portfolio for a detailed
discussion of tax reform.    

  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

contingent deferred sales charge for early withdrawal (4% for B shares and 1%
for C shares).

<F3> Distribution rate represents the monthly annualized distributions of the Fund
at the end of the period and not the earnings of the Fund.

<F4> Taxable-equivalent calculations reflect a federal income tax rate of 36%.

<F5> SEC Yield is a standardized calculation prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for determining the amount of net income a portfolio should
theoretically generate for the 30-day period ending December 30, 1995. Had 
certain expenses of the Fund not been assumed by VKAC, the SEC Yield would have
been 4.60%, 4.07% and 4.07% for Classes A, B and C, respectively, and total 
returns would have been lower.

A portion of the interest income may be subject to the alternative minimum tax 
(AMT).

See the Fund Performance section of the current prospectus. Past performance
does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset value will
fluctuate with market conditions. Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

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 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
investor 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 December 31,
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 
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 American Capital Municipal Income Fund

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital
Municipal Income Fund about the key events and economic forces which shaped the
markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes David C. Johnson, 
portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for fixed-income
investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the Fund's 
performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.

Q: What were some of the important events or market conditions that had an
   impact on the Fund's performance during 1995?

A: The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal
securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the
environment for investing in fixed-income securities was extremely favorable
across the board.

  Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2 
percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. As a 
result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the federal
funds rate) by one quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and again, by 
one-quarter of a percentage point, in December. Naturally, bond prices were
driven higher as rates trended downward over the course of the year (bond prices
go up when rates go down, and vice versa).

  Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in the year
was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable. The market
anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted accordingly. Even though 
the possibility of tax reform weighed on the market to some extent, the belief
that progress on the federal budget deficit would be made helped to bolster
municipal bonds, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.

Q: How was the Fund positioned to take advantage of market conditions?

A: Van Kampen American Capital Municipal Bond Fund was merged into the Van
Kampen American Capital Municipal Income Fund earlier this year. The merger of
the two Funds went smoothly and did not significantly change the structure of
the portfolio.

  In response to market challenges, the Fund maintained its portfolio and sought
to remain well diversified by sector concentration and rating distribution. As
of December 31, 1995, approximately 40 percent of total assets were rated AAA by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group (their highest rating), while 20 percent were
non-rated securities. 

  Our strong internal credit research team includes six analysts who focus on
the high-yield sector, to help find the highest relative value available in the
market on lower-rated or non-rated issues. From a sector concentration
perspective, the Fund has exposure to eighteen different sectors---the largest
being health care (20.6 percent as of December 31, 1995). We have analysts
dedicated to researching the health care industry, and our proprietary research
database contains detailed financial information on hundreds of hospitals and
health care facilities across the nation. 

[PIE CHART]

Q: How well did the Fund perform under these conditions?

A: The Fund responded well to the market over the previous year, and turned in a
solid performance. The Fund's Class A share net asset value increased over the
course of 1995, closing the year at $15.55 per share, up from $14.26 per share
at the beginning of the year. Over the twelve-month period ended December
31, 1995, Class A share total return at net asset value, was 15.61 percent<F1>, 
compared to the total return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a 
broad-based, unmanaged index, which was 17.46 percent for the same period. 

  The Fund's Class A share distribution rate stood at 5.40 percent<F3> as of
December 31, 1995, representing an attractive level of tax-exempt income. For an
investor in the 36 percent federal income tax bracket, that's the equivalent of
earning 8.44 percent<F4> on a taxable investment. (Please refer to the chart on
page three for additional Fund performance results.) 

Q: What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months ahead?

A: We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive for
fixed-income securities in the near-term. Inflation appears to be under control
and the economy shows no signs of overheating.

  We anticipate the Fed will continue its accomodative monetary policy and 
reduce the fed funds rate further during the first half of 1996. Based on the
historically high level of real interest rates (market rates less the inflation
rate), there seems to be room for short-term interest rates to trend lower,
which is a good sign for long-term rates as well.

  We expect the supply of new municipal issues to be somewhat low in 1996, but 
refunding activity should be high as the lower interest rate environment makes
it more attractive for municipalities to retire their higher-yielding
outstanding issues. 

  In general, conditions appear positive for the continuation of a favorable 
environment in which to invest in fixed-income securities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen American Capital Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a
series of the Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust, 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 a high level of current income exempt from federal
income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced
investment operations on August 1, 1990. The distribution of the Fund's Class B
and Class C shares commenced on August 24, 1992 and August 13, 1993, 
respectively. On July 6, 1995, all Class D shareholders redeemed their shares
and the class was eliminated. The Fund will no longer offer Class D shares.

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation-Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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 Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets
having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or
delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. 

C. Investment Income and Expenses-Interest income and expenses are recorded on
an accrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount are amortized over
the expected life of each applicable security.

  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.

D. Organizational Expenses-The Fund has reimbursed Van Kampen American Capital
Distributors, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "VKAC") for costs incurred in
connection with the Fund's organization in the amount of $152,425. These costs 
were amortized over the 60 month period ending July 31, 1995. 

E. 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.

  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 December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss 
carryforward for tax purposes of $43,018,622. Of this amount, $2,340,989,
$30,738, $15,509, $12,455,739, $7,698,483 and $20,477,164 will expire on
December 31, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net realized

26

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting purposes primarily
as a result of the deferral of post October 31 losses and the capitalization of
reorganization and restructuring costs for tax purposes.

F. Distribution of Income and Gains-The Fund declares daily and pays monthly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes
may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for
tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences relating to the recognition of
expenses associated with fund mergers (see note 3) totaling $300,500 have been 
reclassified from accumulated undistributed net investment income to capital. 

  Due to inherent differences in the recognition of interest income under
generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax purposes, for
those securities which the Fund has placed on non-accrual status, the amount of
distributable net investment income may differ between book and federal income
tax purposes for a particular period. These differences are temporary in nature,
but may result in book basis distribution in excess of net investment income for
certain periods.

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:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Average Net Assets       % Per Annum

<S>                      <C>          
First $500 million.....  .50 of 1%
Over $500 million......  .45 of 1%
</TABLE>

  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person.

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $203,900 representing VKAC's cost of providing accounting, cash
management, legal and certain shareholder services (prior to July, 1995) to the
Fund.

  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $379,500, 
representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services
plus a profit.

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

  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the 
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was 
approximately $66,700.

  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares of Class C.

  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 six years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales 
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental 
transfer agency costs.

  On September 22, 1995, the Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of
the Van Kampen American Capital Municipal Bond Fund (the "AC Fund"), through a
tax free reorganization approved by AC Fund shareholders on September 21, 1995.
The Fund issued 20,054,672, 2,774,312 and 471,489 shares of Classes A, B and C
valued at $301,019,346, $41,842,606 and $7,076,761, respectively, in exchange
for AC Fund's net assets. Included in these net assets was a capital loss 
carryforward of $4,423,474 which is included in accumulated net realized
gain/loss on investments and cumulative book and tax basis differences related
to expenses not yet deductible for tax purposes of $26,963 which is a component
of undistributed net investment income. Shares issued in connection with this
reorganization are included in common share sales for the current period.
Combined net assets on the date of acquisition were $1,027,309,801.

4. Investment Transactions

Aggregate purchases and cost of sales of investment securities, excluding 
short-term notes and reorganization and restructuring costs, for the year ended
December 31, 1995, were $772,434,581 and $479,381,715, 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.

  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 and to manage the portfolio's effective yield, maturity and duration.
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 on investments. Upon disposition, a realized gain or
loss is recognized accordingly, except for exercised option contracts where the
recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security
underlying the option contract.

  Summarized below are the specific types of derivative financial instruments
used by the Fund.

A. Option Contracts-An option contract gives the buyer the right, but not the
obligation to buy (call) or sell (put)an underlying item at a fixed exercise
price during a specified period. These contracts are generally used by the Fund
to manage the portfolio's effective maturity and duration.

  Transactions in options for the year ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

</TABLE>

B.  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
Fund generally invests in futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal

30

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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

Bond Index and typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date. These
contracts are generally used to manage the portfolio's effective maturity and 
duration.

  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the contracts
are closed or expire.

  Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended December 31, 1995, were

C.  Indexed Securities-These instruments are identified in the portfolio of
investments. The price of these securities may be more volatile than the price
of a comparable fixed rate security.

  An Inverse Floating security is one where the coupon is inversely indexed to a
short-term floating interest rate multiplied by a specified factor. As the
floating rate rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate 
declines, the coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the
Fund to enhance the yield of the portfolio.
 
 An Embedded Swap security includes a swap component such that the fixed coupon
component of the underlying bond is adjusted by the difference between the
securities fixed swap rate and the floating swap index. As the floating rate
rises, the coupon is reduced. Conversely, as the floating rate declines, the
coupon is increased. These instruments are typically used by the Fund to enhance
the yield of the portfolio.

6. Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and a service plan (the "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% for Class A and 1.00% each for Class
B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for the year
ended December 31, 1995, are payments to VKAC of approximately $1,409,000.

Letter to Shareholders

January 24, 1996

Dear Shareholder,

  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed during
1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, driven by a
combination of continuing economic growth and low inflation. The strength of
equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly impressive
because it followed a year in which both markets declined. People who
remained invested during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the markets,
while investors who retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed out on
the double-digit returns.

The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of maintaining a
long-term perspective for your investments. While the environment for stocks and
bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 will see a repeat of the
markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the long-term, stocks have 
outperformed virtually all other types of investments, and bonds have met the
needs of investors who seek capital preservation and regular income.

Economic Overview

  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
year end. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services 
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the 
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower 
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.    

  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the beginning
of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, bond
prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates further if Congress and
the President are able to reach an agreement on the federal budget, provided 
economic conditions justify further easing.    

  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from

the impact of the Internet, telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers.
U.S. companies with global operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S.
dollar.    

Economic Outlook  

  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interest sensitive industries, such as
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996.

  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. The
outlook for the fixed income market---including municipal bonds---is positive,
too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit from a stable
U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by a number of 
recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the nation's blue chip 
industry leaders.

  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election 
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue 
throughout the year. See the winter issue of Your Portfolio for a detailed
discussion of tax reform.

  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

                 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 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 investor
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 December 31,
1995, and includes payment of the maximum sales charge (3.25% 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

                           Portfolio Management Review


  Van Kampen American Capital Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund about the key events and economic forces
which shaped the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes David C.
Johnson, portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for
fixed-income investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the 
Fund's performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.


Q: What were some of the important events or market conditions
   that had an impact on the Fund's performance during 1995?

A: The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal
securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the
environment for investing in fixed-income securities was extremely favorable
across the board.

  Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2 
percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. As a 
result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the federal
funds rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and again, by 
one-quarter of a percentage point, in December. Naturally, bond prices were
driven higher as rates trended downward over the course of the year (bond prices
go up when rates go down, and vice versa).

  Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in the year
was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable. The market
anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted accordingly. Even though
the possibility of tax  reform weighed on the market to some extent, the belief
that progress on the federal budget deficit would be made helped to bolster
municipal bonds, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.


Q: How was the Fund managed to take advantage of 1995 market conditions?

A: In response to the above market conditions, we maintained the Fund's current 
portfolio and investment objectives, and continued to rely on our strong
internal credit research team to help us identify the issues that appeared to
offer the greatest relative value. As of December 31, 1995, the Fund held a
significant portion of its assets (19.8 percent) in issues from the health care
industry, a sector in which our research is especially strong, and continued to
offer good returns.

  Going forward, the Fund will be able to pursue additional investment 
opportunities, as its non-fundamental investment policies have been recently
amended by the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Fund now has the ability to invest
up to 35 percent of its assets in below investment grade, or non-rated
securities, which should help to contribute to higher yields, but with
potentially higher risk. Additionally, the Fund will be required to maintain an
average weighted portfolio maturity of between 3 and 10 years. In an effort to
better identify the Fund's objectives, the name will be modified. Van Kampen
American Capital Limited Term Municipal Income Fund will be renamed Van Kampen
American Capital Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund.

Multi-Family Housing 13.0%
Single Family Housing 9.9%
Water & Sewer 8.8%
Industrial Revenue 8.2%
Other 7.1%
Public Building 5.9%



  
Q: How well did the Fund perform under these conditions?

A: The Fund had a solid year of performance, particularly when compared to
similar funds with portfolios that are skewed toward an intermediate average
maturity.

  The Fund's Class A share net asset value increased over the course of 1995,
closing the year at $10.26 per share, up from $9.33 per share at the beginning
of the year. Class A share total return at net asset value over the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 1995, was 15.31 percent<F1>, compared to the total
return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based, unmanaged
index, which was 17.46 percent for the same period. 

  The Fund's Class A share distribution rate was at 4.47 percent<F3> as of
December 31, 1995, that is equal to earning 6.98 percent<F4> on a taxable
investment for an investor in the 36 percent federal income tax bracket. (Please
refer to the chart on page three for additional Fund performance results.)


Q: What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months ahead?

A: We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive for 
fixed-income securities in the near-term. Inflation appears to be under control
and the economy shows no signs of overheating.

  We anticipate the Fed will continue its accomodative monetary policy and 
reduce the fed funds rate further during the first half of 1996. Based on the
historically high level of real interest rates (market rates less the inflation
rate), there seems to be room for short-term interest rates to trend lower,
which is a good sign for long-term rates as well.

  We expect the supply of new municipal issues to be somewhat flat in 1996, but
refunding activity should be high as the lower interest rate environment makes
it more attractive for municipalities to retire their higher-yielding
outstanding issues. 

  In general, conditions appear positive for the continuation of a favorable 
environment in which to invest in fixed-income securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen American Capital Limited Term Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") is
organized as a series of Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust (the 
"Trust"), 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 seek a high level of current
income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund commenced investment operations on May 28, 1993 with two classes of
common shares, Class A and Class B shares. The distribution of the Fund's Class
C shares commenced on October 19, 1993.

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation-Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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 Fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or delayed delivery 
purchase commitments until payment is made. As of December 31, 1995, there were
no when issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

C. Investment Income and Expenses-Interest income and expenses are recorded on 
an accrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount are amortized over
the expected life of each applicable security.

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Organizational Expenses and Initial Registration Costs-The Fund has
reimbursed Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, Inc. or its affiliates
(collectively "VKAC") for costs incurred in connection with the Fund's
organization and initial registration in the amount of $60,000. These costs are
being amortized on a straight line basis over the 60 month period ending May 27,
1998. Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") has
agreed that in the event any of the initial shares of the Fund originally
purchased by VKAC are redeemed during the amortization period, the Fund will be
reimbursed for any unamortized organizational expenses and initial registration
costs in the same proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the
number of initial shares held at the time of redemption.

E. 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.

  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 loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains.
At December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward of
$1,033,130, of which $849,643 and $183,487 will expire on December 31, 2002 and
2003, respectively. Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and
tax reporting purposes primarily as a result of post October 31 losses which
are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal
year.

F. Distribution of Income and Gains-The Fund declares daily and pays monthly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes
may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for
tax purposes.

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:

  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person.

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $23,600 representing VKAC's cost of providing accounting, cash
management, legal and certain shareholder services (prior to July, 1995) to the
Fund.

  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $16,900, 
representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services
plus a profit.

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

  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was
approximately $34,000.

  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 1,000, 100 and 100 shares of beneficial 
interest of Classes A, B and C, respectively.

3. Capital Transactions
The Fund has outstanding three classes of common shares, Classes A, B and C each
with a par value of $.01 per share. There are an unlimited number of shares of
each class authorized.

  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 for Class B and
Class C shares will be imposed on most redemptions made within four years of the
purchase for Class B and one year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the
following schedule. The Class B and Class C shares bear the expense of their 
respective deferred sales arrangements, including higher distribution and 
service fees and incremental transfer agency costs.

Letter to Shareholders

January 30, 1996

Dear Shareholder,
  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed 
during 1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, 
driven by a combination of continuing economic growth and low inflation. 
The strength of equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly 
impressive because it followed a year in which both markets declined. People 
who remained invested during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the 
markets, while investors who retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed 
out on the double-digit returns.

The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of maintaining a
long-term perspective for your investments. While the environment for stocks and
bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 will see a repeat of the
markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the long-term, stocks have 
outperformed virtually all other types of investments, and bonds have met the
needs of investors who seek capital preservation and regular income.

Economic Overview
  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
yearend. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services 
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the 
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower 
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.    
  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury 
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the 
beginning of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite 
directions, bond prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates 
further if Congress and the President are able to reach an agreement on the 
federal budget, provided economic conditions justify further easing.    
  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The 
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from 
the impact of the Internet,

telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers. U.S. companies with global 
operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S. dollar.    

Economic Outlook  
  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interest sensitive industries, such as
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996.    
  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. The
outlook for the fixed income market---including municipal bonds---is positive,
too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit from a stable
U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by a number of 
recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the nation's blue chip 
industry leaders.    
  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election 
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue 
throughout the year. See the winter issue of Your Portfolio for a detailed 
discussion of tax reform.    
  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

certain expenses of the Fund not been assumed by VKAC, the SEC Yield would have
been 3.60%, 3.08% and 3.08% for Classes A, B and C, respectively, and total 
returns would have been lower.

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 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 investor
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 December 31,
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 
information provides a broader vantage point from which to evaluate the

Portfolio Management Review

Van Kampen American Capital Florida Insured Tax Free Income Fund

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
Florida Insured Tax Free Income Fund about the key events and economic forces
which shaped the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes Joe 
Piraro, portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for 
fixed-income investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the 
Fund's performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.

  Q: What were some of the important events or market conditions
     which had an impact on the Fund's performance during 1995?

  A:  The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal
securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the 
environment for investing in fixed income securities was extremely favorable 
across the board.
  Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2 
percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. As a 
result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the fed funds
rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and again, by one-quarter 
of a percentage point, in December. Naturally, bond prices were driven higher 
as rates trended downward over the course of the year (bond prices go up when 
rates go down, and vice versa).
  Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in the year
was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable. The market
anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted accordingly. Even though
the possibility of tax reform weighed on the market to some extent, the belief 
that progress on the federal budget deficit would be made helped to bolster 
municipal bonds, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.

  Q:  What were some of the challenges you faced in managing 
      the Fund?

  A:  The Florida municipal market is heavily skewed toward the insured 
sector---more than 65 percent of the market volume involves insured municipal 
bonds. This is due in large part to the high level of demand for insured issues 
within the residents of the state.
  The large supply means we have plenty of choices to make, and our challenge is
to find the issues that appear to offer the greatest relative value. We continue
to rely on our strong internal credit research team to help us do just that.

  Q:  How did the Fund perform, and how did you position the Fund
      to take advantage of the market conditions of the past year?

  A:  We had a good year, providing Class A shares with a total return at net 
asset value of 16.29 percent<F1> over the twelve months ended December 31, 1995.
  The Fund continues to provide an attractive level of tax-exempt income, with a
Class A share distribution rate of 5.00 percent<F3> as of December 31, 1995.
Since income from the Fund is exempt from federal income tax, it is important to
compare the Fund's distribution rate to an equivalent taxable rate. For example,
for Florida residents in the marginal tax bracket of 36 percent, the Fund's 
distribution rate represents a yield equivalent to a taxable investment earning 
7.81 percent.<F4> At the same time, the Fund's Class A share net asset value 
closed the fiscal year at $15.20 per share, up from $13.80 per share at the 
beginning of the year.

5

In comparison to the total return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a
broad-based, unmanaged index, which was 17.46 percent for the twelve months 
through December 31, 1995, the Fund's performance was somewhat lower. 
  By maintaining the Fund's objectives and investing the majority of the
holdings in AAA-rated securities, we were able to take advantage of market
conditions and provide a good performance for our shareholders.

[PIE CHART]

Portfolio Composition by Credit Quality as of December 31, 1995

AAA          80.3%
 AA           8.2%
  A           6.4%
BBB           5.1%
  
  Q:  What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months
      ahead?

  A:  We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive for 
fixed-income securities in the near-term. Inflation appears to be under control 
and the economy shows no signs of overheating.
  We anticipate the Fed will continue its accommodative monetary policy and 
reduce the fed funds rate further during the first half of 1996. Based on the
historically high level of real interest rates (market rates less the inflation
rate), there seems to be room for short-term interest rates to trend lower,
which is a good sign for long-term rates as well.
  We expect the supply of new municipal issues to follow the trend of 1995 and 
remain somewhat low in 1996. However, refunding activity should be high as the
lower interest rate environment makes it more attractive for municipalities to 
retire their higher-yielding outstanding issues. 
  In general, conditions appear positive for the continuation of a favorable 
environment in which to invest in fixed-income securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Significant Accounting Policies
Van Kampen American Capital Florida Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund") is
organized as a series of the Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust, a 
Delaware business trust, and is registered as a non-diversified open-end
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Fund's investment objective is to provide investors a high level of
current income exempt from federal income and Florida state intangibles taxes,
consistent with preservation of capital. Under normal market conditions, the 
Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in insured Florida municipal
securities. The Fund commenced investment operations on July 29, 1994.
  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation-Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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 
Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having 
an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or delayed 
delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. 

C. Investment Income and Expenses-Interest income and expenses are recorded on 
an accrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount on securities 
purchased are amortized over the expected life of each applicable security.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund's custody fee was reduced by 
approximately $5,500 as a result of credits earned on overnight cash balances.
  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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Organizational Expenses-The Fund will reimburse Van Kampen American Capital
Distributors, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "VKAC") for costs incurred in
connection with the Fund's organization in the amount of $120,000. These costs 
are being amortized on a straight line basis over the 60 month period ending
July 28, 1999. Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the
"Adviser") has agreed that in the event any of the initial shares of the Fund
originally purchased by VKAC are redeemed during the amortization period, the 
Fund will be reimbursed for any unamortized organizational expenses in the same
proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the number of initial 
shares held at the time of redemption.

E. 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 December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss 
carryforward for tax purposes of $259,956, of which $41,580 and $218,376 will 
expire on December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net realized gains or 
losses may differ for financial and tax reporting purposes primarily as a 
result of post October 31 losses which are not recognized for tax purposes 
until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Distribution of Income and Gains-The Fund declares daily and pays monthly 
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of certain
expenses under generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax
purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income may differ between
book and federal income tax purposes for a particular period. These differences
are temporary in nature, but may result in book basis distribution in excess of
net investment income for certain periods.

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:

First $500 million.....  .500 of 1%
Over $500 million......  .450 of 1%
</TABLE>

  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person.
  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund incurred expenses of 
approximately $13,700 representing VKAC's cost of providing accounting, cash
management, legal and certain shareholder services to the Fund. All of these
expenses were waived by VKAC.
  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Fund incurred expenses of approximately $3,900, 
representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services 
plus a profit, all of which was assumed by VKAC.
  Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers and directors of
VKAC. The Fund does not compensate its officers or trustees who are officers of
VKAC.
  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was
approximately $11,400.
  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares each of Classes A, B and C.

3. Capital Transactions
The Fund has outstanding three classes of common shares, Classes A, B and C each
with a par value of $.01 per share. There are an unlimited number of shares of
each class authorized.

  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 six years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales 
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, VKAC, as Distributor for the Fund, 
received net commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares of approximately
$31,800 and CDSC on the redeemed shares of Classes B and C of approximately
$73,100. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions
Aggregate purchases and cost of sales of investment securities, excluding 
short-term notes, for the year ended December 31, 1995, were $18,477,597 and
$9,551,274, 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. The Fund utilizes futures contracts to manage the portfolio's 
effective maturity or duration.
  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 futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal Bond Index and
typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date.
  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the 
contracts are closed or expire.
  Transactions in futures contracts, each with a par value of $100,000, for the
year ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

6.  Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and a service plan (the "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 shares and 1.00% each of
Class B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for the
year ended December 31, 1995, are payments to VKAC of approximately $100,400.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of 
Van Kampen American Capital Florida Insured Tax Free Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen American Capital Florida Insured Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund"),
including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 1995, the related
statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes

31, 1994. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund'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 generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. 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 American Capital Florida Insured Tax Free Income Fund as of December 31, 
1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in 
its net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and for the

31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Letter to Shareholders

January 30, 1996

Dear Shareholder,

  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success enjoyed during
1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial gains, driven by a
combination of continuing economic growth and low inflation. The strength
of equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was particularly impressive
because it followed a year in which both markets declined. People who remained
invested during 1995 generally shared in the growth of the markets, while
investors who retreated after 1994's downturn may have missed out on the
double-digit returns.

  The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of
maintaining a long-term perspective for your investments. While the
environment for stocks and bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996
will see a repeat of the markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the
long-term, stocks have outperformed virtually all other types of investments,
and bonds have met the needs of investors who seek capital preservation and
regular income.

Economic Overview

  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
year-end. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services 
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the 
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower 
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.    

  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the beginning
of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, bond
prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates further if Congress and
the President are able to reach an agreement on the federal budget, provided 
economic conditions justify further easing.    

  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. The
strongest sectors were technology and finance, as these stocks benefited from

the impact of the Internet, telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers.
U.S. companies with global operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S.
dollar.    

Economic Outlook  

  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interest sensitive industries, such as
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996.    

  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. The
outlook for the fixed income market---including municipal bonds---is positive,
too. In the near-term, we believe domestic markets will benefit from a stable
U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by a number of 
recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the nation's blue chip 
industry leaders.    

  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election 
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue 
throughout the year. See the winter issue of "Your Portfolio" for a detailed
discussion of tax reform.    

  On the following pages, you can read about your Fund's performance in 1995, as
well as the portfolio management team's outlook for the Fund in the coming
months. We hope that you will find this information helpful.

<F4> The taxable-equivalent distribution rate is calculated assuming a 40.2%
combined effective federal and state tax bracket, which takes into consideration
the deductibility of individual state taxes paid.

<F5> SEC Yield is a standardized calculation prescribed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission for determining the amount of net income a portfolio should
theoretically generate for the 30-day period ending December 30, 1995. Had 
certain expenses of the Fund not been assumed by VKAC, the SEC Yield would have
been 2.99%, 2.48% and 2.48% for Classes A, B and C, respectively and total 
returns would have been lower.

See the Fund Performance section of the current prospectus. Past performance
does not guarantee future results. Investment return and net asset value will
fluctuate with market conditions. Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

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 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 investor
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 December 31,
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 
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 American Capital New Jersey Tax Free Income Fund

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
New Jersey Tax Free Income Fund about the key events and economic forces which
shaped the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes Tim Haney, 
portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice president for fixed-income
investments. The following excerpts reflect their views on the Fund's
performance during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 1995.


Q: What were some of the important events or market conditions which had an
    impact on the Fund's performance during 1995?

A: The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal
securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, the
environment for investing in fixed income securities was extremely favorable
across the board.

  Inflation continued to remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2 
percent range, while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. As a 
result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate (the fed funds
rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 and again, by one-quarter
of a percentage point, in December. Naturally, bond prices were driven higher
as rates trended downward over the course of the year (bond prices go up when
rates go down, and vice versa).

  Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in the year
was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable. The market
anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted accordingly. Even though
the possibility of tax reform weighed on the market to some extent, the belief
that progress on the federal budget deficit would be made helped to bolster
municipal bonds, especially at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.

Q: How well did the Fund perform, and how was it positioned to take advantage of
   1995 market conditions?

A: We had a good year, providing Class A shares with a total return at net asset
value of 15.26 percent<F1> over the twelve months ended December 31, 1995. 

  The Fund continues to provide an attractive level of tax-exempt income, with a
Class A share distribution rate of 4.91 percent<F3> as of December 31, 1995.
Since income from the Fund is exempt from federal and state income taxes, it is
important to compare the Fund's distribution rate to an equivalent taxable rate.
For example, for New Jersey residents in the combined marginal tax bracket of
40.2 percent, the Fund's Class A share distribution rate represents a yield
equivalent to a taxable investment earning 8.21 percent.<F4> At the same time,
the Fund's Class A share net asset value closed the fiscal year at $15.00 per 
share, up from $13.75 per share at the end of the last fiscal year. In
comparison, the total return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a 
broad-based, unmanaged index, was 17.46 percent for the twelve months through
December 31, 1995. During the same period, the category average for all 
New Jersey municipal bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services was 16.01
percent. 

  We took advantage of the positive 1995 bond market by maintaining the Fund's 
portfolio, and investing the majority of assets in investment-grade securities.
In fact, as of December 31, 1995, 69.3 percent of the Fund's holdings are in New
Jersey securities rated AAA by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group.

In terms of the market, we continued to rely on our strong internal credit 
research team to help us identify New Jersey securities offering the greatest 
relative value. We feel the health care industry continues to remain a good
investment, and as of December 31, 1995, the Fund holds a significant portion of
its assets in the health care industry (30.4 percent). 


Portfolio Composition as of December 31, 1995

[PIE CHART]

Health Care                    30.4%
Other                          12.7%
General Purpose                12.6%
Retail Electric/Gas/Telephone  10.4%
Public Building                 9.1%
Transportation                  7.0%
Public Education                6.7%
Single Family Housing           5.6%
Higher Education                5.5%


  
Q: What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months ahead?

A: We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive for 
fixed-income securities in the near term. Inflation appears to be under control
and the economy shows no signs of overheating.

  We anticipate the Fed will continue its accommodative monetary policy and 
reduce the fed funds rate further during the first half of 1996. Based on the
historically high level of real interest rates (market rates less the inflation
rate), there seems to be room for short-term interest rates to trend lower,
which is a good sign for long-term rates as well.

  We expect the supply of new municipal issues to follow the trend of 1995 and 
remain somewhat low in 1996. However, refunding activity should be high as the
lower interest rate environment makes it more attractive for municipalities to 
retire their higher-yielding outstanding issues. In general, conditions appear
positive for the continuation of a favorable environment in which to invest in
fixed-income securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen American Capital New Jersey Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund") is 
organized as a series of the Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust, a 
Delaware business trust, and is registered as a non-diversified open-end
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with a high
level of current income exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey gross
income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced 
investment operations on July 29, 1994.

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation-Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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
Fund will maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having
an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or delayed
delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At December 31, 1995, there
were no when issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

C. Investment Income and Expenses-Interest income and expenses are recorded on 
an accrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount are amortized over
the expected life of each applicable security.

  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.


16




Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Organizational Expenses-The Fund will reimburse Van Kampen American Capital
Distributors, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "VKAC") for costs incurred in
connection with the Fund's organization in the amount of $120,000. These costs 
are being amortized on a straight line basis over the 60 month period ending
July 28, 1999. Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the
"Adviser") has agreed that in the event any of the initial shares of the Fund
originally purchased by VKAC are redeemed by the Fund during the amortization 
period, the Fund will be reimbursed for any unamortized organizational expenses
in the same proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the number of
initial shares held at the time of redemption.

E. 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 December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss
carryforward for tax purposes of $259,106, of which $11,885 and $247,221 will
expire on December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. Net realized gains or
losses may differ for financial and tax reporting purposes primarily as a
result of post October 31 losses which are not recognized for tax purposes
until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Distribution of Income and Gains-The Fund declares daily and pays monthly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of certain
expenses under generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax
purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income may differ between
book and federal income tax purposes for a particular period. These differences
are temporary in nature, but may result in book basis distribution in excess of
net investment income for certain periods.

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:

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

  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person.

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $12,100 representing VKAC's cost of providing cash management,
legal and certain shareholder services (prior to July, 1995) to the Fund. All of
this cost has been waived by VKAC.

  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the year ended
December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately $2,640, 
representing ACCESS's cost of providing transfer agency and shareholder services
plus a profit. All of this expense has been assumed by VKAC.

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

  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers 
of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the deferred compensation and retirement
plans at December 31, 1995, was approximately $8,000.

  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares each of Classes A, B and C.

3. Capital Transactions

The Fund has outstanding three classes of common shares, Classes A, B and C each
with a par value of $.01 per share. There are an unlimited number of shares of
each class authorized.

  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 six years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales 
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental 
transfer agency costs.

received net commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares of approximately
$12,700 and CDSC on the redeemed shares of Classes B and C of approximately
$54,700. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions

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 utilizes futures contracts to manage the portfolio's 
effective maturity or duration.

  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 futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal Bond Index and
typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date.

  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the contracts
are closed or expire.

  Transactions in futures contracts, each with a par value of $100,000, for the
year ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

<TABLE>

                                      =========
</TABLE>


6.  Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and a service plan (the "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 shares and 1.00% each of
Class B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for the
year ended December 31, 1995, are payments to VKAC of approximately $50,800.

Independent Auditors' Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the
Van Kampen American Capital New Jersey Tax Free Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen American Capital New Jersey Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund"), including
the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement
of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net
assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and for the period
from July 29, 1994 (commencement of investment operations) through December 31,
1994. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Fund'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 generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. 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 American Capital New Jersey Tax Free Income Fund as of December 31, 1995,
the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its
net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period
from July 29, 1994 (commencement of investment operations) through December 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

  For most investors, it would be hard to surpass the success 
enjoyed during 1995. The stock and bond markets achieved substantial
gains, driven by a combination of continuing economic growth and 
low inflation. The strength of equity and fixed-income securities in 1995 was
particularly impressive because it followed a year in which both markets
declined. People who remained invested during 1995 generally shared
in the growth of the markets, while investors who retreated after 1994's 
downturn may have missed out on the double-digit returns.

The rebound in the markets last year reinforces the importance of maintaining a
long-term perspective for your investments. While the environment for stocks and
bonds remains positive, it is unlikely that 1996 will see a repeat of the
markets' strong 1995 performance. However, over the long-term, stocks have 
outperformed virtually all other types of investments, and bonds have met the
needs of investors who seek capital preservation and regular income.

Economic Overview
  The U.S. economy grew throughout 1995, though the rate of growth slowed toward
yearend. The gross domestic product (the value of all goods and services 
produced in the United States) grew at an annual rate of more than 4.2 percent
in the third quarter of 1995, but slowed to an estimated 2 to 3 percent in the 
fourth quarter, with retail and auto sales particularly sluggish. The slower 
growth rate eased concerns about a rise in inflation and allowed the Federal 
Reserve Board to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter-percentage point
in late December. The reduction in rates during the latter half of 1995 is
expected to help generate moderate economic growth in 1996, just as the Fed's
raising of short-term rates in 1994 helped slow economic growth in 1995.
    
  The cut in short-term rates, combined with modest growth forecasts, was viewed
by the financial markets as a positive event, pushing up both stock and bond
prices. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock
Index achieved a total return of 37.45 percent. The yield on 10-year Treasury
notes was 5.57 percent on December 31, compared to 7.83 percent at the beginning
of the year. Because bond prices and yields move in opposite directions, bond
prices rose. Many observers expect the Fed to cut rates further if Congress and
the President are able to reach an agreement on the federal budget, provided 
economic conditions justify further easing.    
  With a low inflation, low interest rate environment, corporate earnings 
remained quite strong during the year, helping to push stocks to new highs. 
The strongest sectors were tech-

nology and finance, as these stocks benefited from the impact of the Internet, 
telecommunications deregulation and bank mergers. U.S. companies with global
operations also did well, aided by a declining U.S. dollar.    

Economic Outlook  
  Looking ahead, we are cautiously optimistic. We expect the economy to grow at
a rate of 2 to 3 percent throughout 1996, with growth stronger in the second
half of the year as the full impact of the Fed's rate cuts take effect. Lower
rates will have the greatest impact on interestsensitive industries, such as
housing. Although inflation appears to be under control, there probably will be
some cyclical upward pressure in 1996.    

  The current economic conditions are ideal for stocks, especially those of
smaller companies, because they tend to be affected less by economic cycles. The
outlook for the fixedincome market---including municipal bonds---is positive,
too. In the near-term, we believedomestic markets will benefit from a stable
U.S. dollar and increased business activity driven in part by a number of 
recently announced strategic reorganizations of some of the nation's blue chip 
industry leaders.    

  During recent months, debate over tax reform and the federal deficit has
dominated the agenda in Washington. Now that we are in a presidential election 
year, tax reform likely will replace the budget battle as the top issue in 
Washington. There has been varied speculation about the impact tax reform could
have on the economy and on various types of investments. We are following the
tax reform debate very closely, and we will keep you updated on this issue 
throughout the year. See the winter issue of "Your Portfolio"
for a detailed discussion of tax reform.

             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 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 investor
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 December 31,
1995, and includes payment of the maximum sales charge (4.75% for A shares).

                  Portfolio Management Review

  Van Kampen American Capital New York Tax Free Income Fund

We recently spoke with the management team of the Van Kampen American Capital 
New York Tax Free Income Fund about the key events and economic forces which
shaped the markets during the past fiscal year. The team includes
Dennis Pietrzak, portfolio manager, and Peter W. Hegel, executive vice
president for fixed-incomeinvestments. The following excerpts reflect
their views on the Fund's performance during the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 1995.

Q. What were some of the important events or market conditions
   which had an impact on the Fund's performance during 1995?

A. The bond market in general was quite strong in 1995, and municipal
   securities, of course, participated in the year's rally. Clearly, 
   the environment for investing in fixedincome securities was 
   extremely favorable across the board.Inflation continued to 
   remain in check, with rates hovering around the 2 percent range, 
   while the economy grew at a fairly steady but modest pace. 
   As a  result, the Federal Reserve Board lowered its key lending rate 
   (the fed funds rate) by one-quarter percentage point in July of 1995 
   and again, by one-quarter of a percentage point, in December. 
   Naturally, bond prices were driven higher as rates trended downward
   over the course of the year (bond prices go up when rates 
   go down, and vice versa).
 
   Another factor that had been priced into the municipal market late in the
   year was the expectation that a federal budget agreement was inevitable.
   The market anticipated a positive budget compromise, and reacted 
   accordingly. Even though the possibility of tax reform weighed on the 
   market to some extent, the belief that progress on the federal budget 
   deficit would be made helped to bolster municipal bonds, especially 
   at the longer end of the maturity spectrum.

Q. What were some of the challenges you faced in managing the
   Fund, and how was it positioned to take advantage of 1995 
   market conditions?

A. The New York municipal market has seen its share of turmoil over the years,
   but recent developments have been positive. Constructive action has been 
   under way to  streamline the state budget process, and to take initiatives 
   against crime and waste in order to create a better living environment. 
   In other words, anything that strengthens the municipalities which issue 
   debt can improve the environment for municipal investing.

   By maintaining the Fund's portfolio, and investing the majority of assets 
   in investment-grade securities, we were able to take advantage of the 
   positive New York municipal environment. In fact, as of December 31, 1995,
   45 percent of the Fund's holdings are in New York securities rated AAA by
   Standard & Poor's Ratings Group. We feel we met our goal of finding the 
   issues that appeared to offer the greatest relative value by relying on 
   our strong internal credit research team to help us do just that.

Q. How well did the Fund perform under these conditions?

A. We had a good year, providing Class A shares with a total return at 
   net asset value of 17.33 percent<F1> over the twelve months ended
   December 31, 1995. The Fund continues to provide an attractive level
   of tax-exempt income, with a Class A share distribution rate of 5.05
   percent<F3> as of December 31, 1995.
   Since income from the Fund is exempt from federal and state income taxes, 
   it is important to compare the Fund's distribution rate to an equivalent 
   taxable rate. For example, for New York residents in the combined marginal 
   tax bracket of 40.9 percent, the Fund's Class A share distribution rate 
   represents a yield equivalent to a taxable investment earning 
   8.54 percent<F4>.  At the same time, the Fund's Class A share net asset
   value closed the fiscal year at $15.05 per share, up from $13.58 per 
   share at the end of the last fiscal year.
 
   In comparison to the total return of the Lehman Brothers Municipal
   Bond Index,a broad-based, unmanaged index, which was 17.46 percent 
   for the twelve months through December 31, 1995, the Fund's 
   performance was comparable.

</TABLE>

Q. What is your outlook for the Fund and the market in the months
   ahead?

A. We're confident that the investment environment will remain positive 
   for fixed-income securities in the near term. Inflation
   appears to be under control and the economy shows no
   signs of overheating.
 
   We anticipate the Fed will continue its accommodative monetary policy and 
   reduce the fed funds rate further during the first half of 1996. 
   Based on the historically high level of real interest rates 
   (market rates less the inflation rate), there seems to be room for 
   short-term interest rates to trend lower, which is a good sign for 
   long-term rates as well. We expect the supply of new municipal issues to 
   follow the trend of 1995, and remain somewhat low in 1996. However, 
   refunding activity should be high as the lower interest rate environment 
   makes it more attractive for municipalities to 
   retire their higher-yielding outstanding issues. 

   In general, conditions appear positive for the continuation of a favorable 
   environment in which to invest in fixed-income securities.

                       Notes to Financial Statements
                            December 31, 1995

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Van Kampen American Capital New York Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund") is 
organized as a series of the Van Kampen American Capital Tax Free Trust, a 
Delaware business trust, and is registered as a non-diversified open-end
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with a high
level of current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City
income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund commenced 
investment operations on July 29, 1994.

  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A. Security Valuation-Investments are stated at value using market quotations 
or, if such valuations are not available, estimates obtained from yield data 
relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics in accordance
with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days 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 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 Fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of the when issued or delayed delivery 
purchase commitments until payment is made. 

C. Investment Income and Expenses-Interest income and expenses are recorded on 
anaccrual basis. Bond premium and original issue discount on securities 
purchased are amortized over the expected life of each applicable security. 
  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.

D. Organizational Expenses-The Fund will reimburse Van Kampen American Capital
Distributors, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "VKAC") for costs incurred in
connection with the Fund's organization in the amount of $120,000. These costs 
are being amortized on a straight line basis over the 60 month period ending
July 28, 1999. Van Kampen American Capital Investment Advisory Corp. (the
"Adviser") has agreed that in the event any of the initial shares of the Fund
originally purchased by VKAC are redeemed by the Fund during the amortization 
period, the Fund will be reimbursed for any unamortized organizational expenses
in the same proportion as the number of shares redeemed bears to the number of
initial shares held at the time of redemption.

E. 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 December 31, 1995, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss 
carryforward for tax purposes of $214,449, of which
$116,418 and $98,031 will expire on December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting 
purposes primarily as a result of post October 31 losses which are not 
recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. Distribution of Income and Gains-The Fund declares daily and pays monthly 
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually. Due to inherent differences in the recognition of certain
expenses under generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax
purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income may differ between
book and federal income tax purposes for a particular period. These differences
are temporary in nature, but may result in book basis distribution in excess of
net investment income for certain periods.

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:

First $500 million....  .600 of 1%
Over $500 million.....  .500 of 1%
</TABLE>

  Certain legal expenses are paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom,
counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the Fund is an affiliated person. 

  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of 
approximately $12,400 representing Van Kampen American Capital Distributors, 
Inc.'s or its affiliates' (collectively "VKAC") cost of providing accounting,
cash management, legal services and certain shareholder services 
(prior to July, 1995) to the Fund. All of this cost has been waived by VKAC.

  In July, 1995, the Fund began using ACCESS Investor Services, Inc., an 
affiliate of the Adviser, as the transfer agent of the Fund. For the period
ended December 31, 1995, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately 
$3,400, representing ACCESS' cost of providing transfer agency and 
shareholder services plus a profit. All of this expense has been assumed 
by VKAC.

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

  The Fund has implemented deferred compensation and retirement plans for its 
trustees. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all
or a portion of their compensation to a later date. The retirement plan covers
those trustees who are not officers of VKAC. The Fund's liability under the 
deferred compensation and retirement plans at December 31, 1995, was 
approximately $8,000.

  At December 31, 1995, VKAC owned 100 shares each of Classes A, B and C.

  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 six years of the purchase for Class B and one
year of the purchase for Class C as detailed in the following schedule. The
Class B and C shares bear the expense of their respective deferred sales 
arrangements, including higher distribution and service fees and incremental 
transfer agency costs.

              Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
                        December 31, 1995
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  For the year ended December 31, 1995, VKAC, as Distributor for the Fund, 
received net commissions on sales of the Fund's Class A shares of approximately
$8,700 and CDSC on the redeemed shares of Classes B and C of approximately
$33,400. Sales charges do not represent expenses of the Fund.

4. Investment Transactions

Aggregate purchases and cost of sales of investment securities, excluding 
short-term notes, for the year ended December 31, 1995, were $9,855,773 and
$6,634,617, 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. The Fund utilizes futures contracts to manage the portfolio's 
effective maturity or duration.

  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 futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and the Municipal Bond Index and
typically closes the contract prior to the delivery date.

  The fluctuation in market value of the contracts is settled daily through a
cash margin account. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the 
contracts are closed or expire.

  Transactions in futures contracts, each with a par value of $100,000, for the
year ended December 31, 1995, were as follows:

6.  Distribution and Service Plans

The Fund and its shareholders have adopted a distribution plan (the
"Distribution Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and a service plan (the "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 shares and 1.00% each of
Class B and Class C shares are accrued daily. Included in these fees for the
year ended December 31, 1995, are payments to VKAC of approximately $64,700.

Independent Auditors' Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the
Van Kampen American Capital New York Tax Free Income Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen American Capital New York Tax Free Income Fund (the "Fund"), including
the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement
of operations for the year then ended and the statement of changes in net assets
and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from
July 29, 1994 (Commencement of Investment Operations) to December 31, 1994.
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of
the Fund'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 generally accepted auditing 
standards. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
December 31, 1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation. 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 American Capital New York Tax Free Income Fund as of 
December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the year then ended and
the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year 
then ended and for the period from July 29, 1994 (Commencement of Investment 
Operations) to December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.
