Welcome, Shareholder
In this report, youll learn about how your investment in
Van Kampen Senior Income Trust performed during the
semiannual period. The portfolio management team will provide an
overview of the market conditions and discuss some of the
factors that affected investment performance during the
reporting period. In addition, this report includes the
trusts financial statements and a list of trust
investments as of January 31, 2010.
Market forecasts
provided in this report may not necessarily come to pass. There
is no assurance that the trust will achieve its investment
objective. Trusts are subject to market risk, which is the
possibility that the market values of securities owned by the
trust will decline and that the value of the trust shares may
therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you
can lose money investing in this trust.
An investment in
senior loans is subject to certain risks such as loan defaults
and illiquidity due to insufficient collateral
backing.

Performance data
quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of
future results, and current performance may be lower or higher
than the figures shown. For the most recent month-end
performance figures, please visit vankampen.com or speak with
your financial advisor. Investment returns and principal value
will fluctuate and trust shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost.
The NAV per share is
determined by dividing the value of the trusts portfolio
securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities and
preferred shares, by the total number of common shares
outstanding. The common share market price is the price the
market is willing to pay for shares of the trust at a given
time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of
factors, including supply and demand and market conditions.
Total return assumes an investment at the beginning of the
period, reinvestment of all distributions for the period in
accordance with the trusts dividend reinvestment plan, and
sale of all shares at the end of the period.
The S&P/LSTA
Leveraged Loan Index is a daily total return index that uses
LSTA/LPC Mark-to-Market Pricing to calculate market value change
and represents a broad cross section of leveraged loans
syndicated in the United States, including dollar-denominated
loans to overseas issuers. The Index is unmanaged and its
returns do not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs
would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly
in an index.

Trust Report
For the six-month
period ended January 31, 2010
Market
Conditions
The senior loan market continued to rally strongly throughout
the reporting period. For the six-month period ended
January 31, 2010, the S&P LSTA Leveraged Loan Index
(the Index) gained 11.75 percent, while average
loan prices rose from 81.2 cents on the dollar to 89.49 cents on
the dollar. Within the Index, lower quality loans outperformed
for the period, with CCC rated issuers (+26.53 percent)
significantly outpacing higher credit quality BB
(+4.74 percent) and B (+11.81 percent) issuers.
From a technical standpoint, the loan market continued to
benefit from increasing demand, loan repayments and relatively
tepid new loan issuance. The bank loan category of retail mutual
funds continued to enjoy strong inflows over the course of the
period sparked by the opportunity to purchase senior loans at a
discount and the prospect of higher short-term interest rates in
the future. Additionally, loan repayments were strong as the
trend of companies issuing new high yield bonds and using the
proceeds to pre-pay bank debt at par continued. New loan
issuance, on the other hand, remained weak, especially in the
first half of the reporting period. In the later part of the
fourth quarter of 2009 and continuing into 2010, new issuance
did pick up substantially; however, in the fourth quarter of
2009, the pool of investable loans still contracted as loan
repayments of $32 billion were well in excess of the
$26 billion of new loan issuance.
The loan market benefited from a substantial improvement in
credit fundamentals. Borrowers performance generally
reflected the growth in U.S. GDP that we experienced in the
second half of 2009, and this growth is expected to continue in
2010. The improved macroeconomic conditions translated into an
improving default picture. The senior loan default rate peaked
in November 2009 at 10.8 percent and by the end of January
2010 had declined to 8.8 percent. We expect the rate to
fall to the mid-single digits by the end of 2010.
Although we are cautiously optimistic that the loan rally will
continue in 2010, albeit at a much slower pace than in 2009, it
is clear that risks and uncertainties remain that could
negatively impact the markets. The economic recovery is likely
to be less robust than previous recoveries as the consumer
remains stressed with unemployment just below 10 percent
and foreclosures still at an elevated level. There is
uncertainty as to how the economy will react as governments and
central banks begin to remove the global stimulus as well as
concerns about the size of the budget deficit both here in the
U.S. and in other countries around the world.

Performance
Analysis
The Trusts return can be calculated based upon either the
market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per
share is determined by dividing the value of the Trusts
portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all
liabilities and preferred shares, by the total number of common
shares outstanding, while market price reflects the supply and
demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ,
as they did during the reporting period. For the six months
ended January 31, 2010, the Trust returned
32.40 percent on a market price basis and
19.91 percent on an NAV basis.

Performance data
quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of
future results, and current performance may be lower or higher
than the figures shown. Investment return, net asset value and
common share market price will fluctuate and Trust shares, when
sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See
Performance Summary for additional performance
information.
The Trust invests primarily in senior secured loans to
non-investment grade companies. Although non-investment grade
companies have a higher probability of defaulting than
investment grade companies, our loans are typically secured by
the assets of the company and are senior in the capital
structure and thus are generally repaid before any of the
companys other obligations. As of the end of the reporting
period, 91 percent of the Trusts assets are first
lien senior secured loans. The remainder is a mix of second lien
senior secured loans and high yield bonds. Concentration in the
portfolio by both industry and borrower remains low.
We continued to adhere to our research-intensive investment
process, employing a
bottom-up
security selection process driven by thorough analysis of
individual company fundamentals. We focus primarily on investing
in companies that we believe will have consistent cash flows and
strong collateral coverage and thus we typically have a bias
toward more defensive industries such as health care, utilities,
food and cable.
The Trust used a modest amount of leverage, which enhanced
returns as loan prices increased during the period. Leverage
involves borrowing at a floating short-term rate and reinvesting
the proceeds at a higher rate. Unlike other fixed-income asset
classes, using leverage in conjunction with senior loans does
not involve the same degree of risk from rising short-term
interest rates since the income from senior loans generally
adjusts to changes in interest rates, as do the rates which
determine the Trusts borrowing costs. The use of leverage
could be a risk of greater volatility. (Similarly, should
short-term rates fall, borrowing costs would also decline.) We
believe the modest use of leverage will continue to benefit
shareholders in the periods ahead.
3
Market
Outlook
While we have certainly witnessed a dramatic rally in loan
prices over the past year, given current price levels and the
potential for declining default rates this year, we believe
there are still compelling investment opportunities in senior
secured loans. Additionally, while investors continue to have
the ability to purchase loans at what we believe are relatively
attractive values, they are also positioning themselves well
should short-term interest rates begin to rise. Because senior
loans pay a floating interest rate, should short-term rates move
higher, senior loan investors may benefit through increasing
distribution yields. This can act as a nice complement to fixed
rate investments that typically face a headwind in a rising
interest rate environment.
There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will
continue to perform as discussed herein or that securities in
such sectors will be held by the Trust in the future.

Derivatives
Policy
The Trust has amended and restated its policy on derivatives to
permit it to invest in the derivative investments discussed
below.
The Trust may use derivative instruments for a variety of
purposes, including hedging, risk management, portfolio
management or to earn income. Derivatives are financial
instruments whose value is based on the value of another
underlying asset, interest rate, index or financial instrument.
A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its
underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including
imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and
the underlying instrument, risks of default by the other party
to certain transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to
changes in the market value of the securities, instruments,
indices or interest rates to which they relate, and risks that
the transactions may not be liquid. The use of derivatives
involves risks that are different from, and possibly greater
than, the risks associated with other portfolio investments.
Derivatives may involve the use of highly specialized
instruments that require investment techniques and risk analyses
different from those associated with other portfolio
investments. Certain derivative transactions may give rise to a
form of leverage. Leverage associated with derivative
transactions may cause the Trust to liquidate portfolio
positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy
its obligations or to meet earmarking or segregation
requirements, pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations,
or may cause the Trust to be more volatile than if the Trust had
not been leveraged. Although the Investment Adviser seeks to use
derivatives to further the Trusts investment objective,
there is no assurance that the use of derivatives will achieve
this result.
Following is a description of the derivative instruments and
techniques that the Trust may use and their associated risks:
Swaps. A swap contract is an agreement between two
parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at
specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount,
with the payments calculated by reference to specified
securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other
instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period
payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are
made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted
out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other).
The Trusts obligations or rights under a swap contract
entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the
net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on
the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty.
Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and
there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps.
Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of
default or non-performance by the counterparty. Swaps could
result in losses if interest rate or foreign currency exchange
rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by
the Trust or if the reference index, security or investments do
not perform as expected. The Trusts use of swaps
may
6
include those based on the credit of an underlying security and
commonly referred to as credit default swaps. Where
the Trust is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it
would be entitled to receive the par (or other
agreed-upon)
value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty to
the contract only in the event of a default by a third party on
the debt obligation. If no default occurs, the Trust would have
paid to the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the
term of the contract and received no benefit from the contract.
When the Trust is the seller of a credit default swap contract,
it receives the stream of payments but is obligated to pay upon
default of the referenced debt obligation.
Structured Investments. The Trust also may invest a
portion of its assets in structured notes and other types of
structured investments. A structured note is a derivative
security for which the amount of principal repayment and/or
interest payments is based on the movement of one or more
factors. These factors include, but are not limited
to, currency exchange rates, interest rates (such as the prime
lending rate or LIBOR), referenced bonds and stock indices.
Investments in structured notes involve risks including interest
rate risk, credit risk and market risk. Changes in interest
rates and movement of the factor may cause significant price
fluctuations and changes in the reference factor may cause the
interest rate on the structured note to be reduced to zero and
any further changes in the reference factor may then reduce the
principal amount payable on maturity. Other types of structured
investments include interests in entities organized and operated
for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics
of underlying investment interests or securities. These
investment entities may be structured as trusts or other types
of pooled investment vehicles. Holders of structured investments
bear risks of the underlying investment and are subject to
counterparty risk. Certain structured investments may be thinly
traded or have a limited trading market and may have the effect
of increasing the Trusts illiquidity to the extent that
the Trust, at a particular point in time, may be unable to find
qualified buyers for these securities.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts. In connection
with its investments in foreign securities, the Trust also may
enter into contracts with banks, brokers or dealers to purchase
or sell securities or foreign currencies at a future date
(forward contracts). A foreign currency forward
contract is a negotiated agreement between the contracting
parties to exchange a specified amount of currency at a
specified future time at a specified rate. The rate can be
higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that
are the subject of the contract. Forward foreign currency
exchange contracts may be used to protect against uncertainty in
the level of future foreign currency exchange rates or to gain
or modify exposure to a particular currency. In addition, the
Trust may use cross currency hedging or proxy hedging with
respect to currencies in which the Trust has or expects to have
portfolio or currency exposure. Cross currency hedges involve
the sale of one currency against the positive exposure to a
different currency and may be used for hedging purposes or to
establish an active exposure to the
7
exchange rate between any two currencies. Hedging the
Trusts currency risks involves the risk of mismatching the
Trusts objectives under a forward or futures contract with
the value of securities denominated in a particular currency.
Furthermore, such transactions reduce or preclude the
opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in
the direction opposite to the position taken. There is an
additional risk to the effect that currency contracts create
exposure to currencies in which the Trusts securities are
not denominated. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may
result in poorer overall performance for the Trust than if it
had not entered into such contracts.

Investment Advisory Agreement Approval
The current investment adviser for the Fund is Van Kampen
Asset Management (the Adviser) pursuant to the
investment advisory agreement approved by the Board on May
20-21, 2009.
The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Van Kampen
Investments Inc. (Van Kampen Investments),
which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley entered into a
definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail
asset management business, including Van Kampen
Investments, to Invesco Ltd., a leading independent global
investment management company (the Transaction). As
a result of this Transaction, the asset management business of
Van Kampen Investments will be combined with that of
Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco), a subsidiary of
Invesco Ltd.
The closing of the Transaction (currently expected to be in
mid-2010) will constitute an assignment of the
current investment advisory agreement for the Fund and,
therefore, pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
1940 Act), will result in the automatic termination
of the Funds current investment advisory agreement. The
1940 Act requires that shareholders of the Fund approve any new
investment advisory agreement for the Fund.
In connection with the Transaction, the Funds Board of
Trustees has approved a new investment advisory arrangement
between the Fund and Invesco, which arrangement includes
(i) a new advisory agreement with Invesco, which agreement
allows Invesco to enter into subadvisory agreements and delegate
any or all of its rights, duties or obligations to one or more
wholly owned affiliates of Invesco Ltd. as subadvisers and
(ii) that Invesco enter into a master subadvisory agreement
with several of Invesco Ltd.s wholly owned affiliates
(collectively, the New Advisory Agreements).
The Funds Board of Trustees is seeking shareholder
approval of the New Advisory Agreements at a special meeting of
shareholders and a proxy statement is being sent to shareholders
in advance of the special meeting. Closing of the Transaction
and shareholder approval of the New Advisory Agreements are
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the New Advisory
Agreements. As part of the Transaction, it is also expected that
Invesco and its affiliates will provide the Fund with
administrative and client servicing services that are currently
provided by Van Kampen Investments and its affiliates.
At several in-person and telephonic meetings held in August,
September, October, November and December 2009, the Board
discussed and ultimately approved the New Advisory Agreements.
At these meetings, the Board considered information provided by
Morgan Stanley, Van Kampen Investments and Invesco
regarding, among other things: Invescos organization and
personnel; business strategy; ownership structure; financial
strength; affiliations (including other asset management
affiliations); asset management practices and capabilities;
legal and regulatory matters; and compliance matters. Emphasis
during these meetings focused on Invesco being a global
investment management leader with momentum in the
U.S. retail market, and that the combination of Invesco and
Morgan Stanleys retail asset management business,
including Van Kampen Investments, can bring additional
value to the
10
Funds shareholders. The parties discussed Invescos
independence as a publicly traded entity, its strategic focus
solely on the investment management business (including
Invescos investment reputation, broad product line,
service quality, industry relationships and objective of putting
investors interests first) and its significant depth in
resources, diversification, performance and experience. The
parties discussed how the current Invesco and Van Kampen
Investments businesses compare and complement each other and the
synergies of the combined organization which management believes
will benefit the Funds shareholders. The parties discussed
aligning the Fund and other funds currently advised by the
Adviser together with other funds and products currently advised
by Invesco and its affiliates towards using a single, common
operating platform (which includes, among other things, common
investment operating platforms, common global performance
measurement and risk analysis, and common compliance policies
and procedures).
In connection with the Boards consideration of the New
Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the factors
discussed above as well as the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be
Provided. The Board considered the roles and
responsibilities of the investment adviser (and its affiliates)
as a whole and those specific to portfolio management, support
and trading functions anticipated to be servicing the Fund. The
Board noted that the current portfolio management team for the
Fund is expected to remain the same under the New Advisory
Agreements. The Trustees discussed with Invesco the resources
available in managing the Fund. The Trustees also discussed
certain other services that are to be provided by Invesco or its
affiliates to the Fund including subadvisory services, certain
global performance measurement and risk analysis, compliance,
accounting, and administrative services. The Board has
determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services
to be provided by Invesco (and its affiliates) support its
decision to approve the New Advisory Agreements.
Projected Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board
considered that the advisory fee rate for the Fund would remain
the same under the New Advisory Agreements as they are under the
current advisory agreement. The Board had previously determined
that such fees were acceptable under the current advisory
agreement. The Board has determined that the projected fees and
expenses of the Fund support its decision to approve the New
Advisory Agreements.
Investment Advisers Expenses in Providing the Service
and Profitability. At least annually, the Trustees expect to
review Invescos expenses in providing services to the Fund
and other funds advised by Invesco and the profitability of
Invesco. In connection with the Fund, the Trustees discussed
with Invesco its projected revenues and expenses, including
among other things, revenues for advisory services, portfolio
management-related expenses, and other costs. The Board has
determined that the analysis of Invescos projected
expenses and profitability support its decision to approve the
New Advisory Agreements.
Economies of Scale. The Board noted that economies
of scale were already reflected in the advisory fees. In future
determinations of whether to approve the continuation
11
of the advisory agreement, the Board will consider whether
economies of scale exist and should be passed along to
shareholders.
Other Benefits of the Relationship. The Board
considered other benefits to Invesco and its affiliates derived
from its relationship with the Fund and other funds advised by
Invesco. These benefits include, among other things, fees for
administrative services (which is reimbursement of
Invescos cost or such reasonable compensation as may be
approved by the Board), transfer agency services provided to
other funds in the fund family, in certain cases research to be
received by Invesco or its affiliates generated from commission
dollars spent on funds portfolio trading, and in certain
cases distribution or service related fees related to sales of
other funds in the fund family. The Trustees reviewed with
Invesco each of these arrangements and the reasonableness of its
costs relative to the services performed. The Board has
determined that the other benefits received by Invesco or its
affiliates support its decision to approve the New Advisory
Agreements.

Senior Income Trust
Portfolio

Investments n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited) continued
|
|
|
*
|
|
Senior
Loans in the Trusts portfolio generally are subject to
mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory
prepayment conditions and because there may be significant
economic incentives for a Borrower to prepay, prepayments of
Senior Loans in the Trusts portfolio may occur. As a
result, the actual remaining maturity of Senior Loans held in
the Trusts portfolio may be substantially less than the
stated maturities shown.
|
|
**
|
|
Senior
Loans in which the Trust invests generally pay interest at rates
which are periodically redetermined by reference to a base
lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are
generally (i) the lending rate offered by one or more major
European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), (ii) the prime rate offered by one or
more major United States banks or (iii) the certificate of
deposit rate. Senior Loans are generally considered to be
restricted in that the Trust ordinarily is contractually
obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or
Borrower prior to the disposition of a Senior Loan.

Van Kampen
Senior Income Trust
Notes to Financial
Statements n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited)
1. Significant
Accounting Policies
Van Kampen Senior Income Trust (the Trust) is
registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act). The Trusts investment
objective is to seek to provide a high level of current income,
consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust seeks to
achieve its objective by investing primarily in a portfolio of
interests in floating or variable rate senior loans to
corporations, partnerships and other entities which operate in a
variety of industries and geographical regions. The Trust
borrows money for investment purposes which will create the
opportunity for enhanced return, but also should be considered a
speculative technique and may increase the Trusts
volatility. The Trust commenced investment operations on
June 23, 1998.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its
financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) 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.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
established the FASB Accounting Standards
Codificationtm
(ASC) as the single source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ASC supersedes
existing non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. The ASC did not change GAAP but rather organized it
into a hierarchy where all guidance within the ASC carries an
equal level of authority. The ASC became effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The Trust appropriately updated
relevant GAAP references to reflect the new ASC.
A. Security Valuation The Trusts
Senior Loans and notes are valued by the Trust following
valuation guidelines established and periodically reviewed by
the Trusts Board of Trustees. Under the valuation
guidelines, Senior Loans and notes for which reliable market
quotes are readily available are valued at the mean of such bid
and ask quotes. Where reliable market quotes are not readily
available, Senior Loans and notes are valued, where possible,
using independent market indicators provided by independent
pricing sources approved by the Board of Trustees. Other Senior
Loans and notes are valued by independent pricing sources
approved by the Board of Trustees based upon pricing models
developed, maintained and operated by those pricing sources or
valued by Van Kampen Asset Management (the
Adviser) by considering a number of factors
including consideration of market indicators, transactions in
instruments which the Adviser believes may be comparable
(including comparable credit quality, interest rate, interest
rate redetermination period and maturity), the credit worthiness
of the Borrower, the current interest rate, the period until
next interest rate redetermination and the maturity of such
Senior Loan. Consideration of comparable instruments may include
commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit and
short-term variable rate securities which have adjustment
periods comparable to the Senior Loans in the Trusts
portfolio. The fair value of Senior Loans are reviewed and
approved by the Trusts Valuation Committee and the Board
of Trustees.
Credit default swaps are valued using quotations obtained from
brokers.
35
Van Kampen
Senior Income Trust
Notes
to Financial
Statements n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited) continued
Equity securities are valued on the basis of prices furnished by
pricing services or as determined in good faith by the Adviser
under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days
or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value. Short-term loan participations are valued at cost in the
absence of any indication of impairment.
B. Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820)
(formerly known as FAS 157), defines fair value as the
price that the Trust would receive to sell an investment or pay
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an
independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of
a principal market the most advantageous market for the
investment or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier
hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect
the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an
asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs)
and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use
in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best
information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs)
and to establish classification of fair value measurements for
disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the
value of the Trusts investments. The inputs are summarized
in the three broad levels listed below.
|
|
Level 1
|
quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
|
Level 2
|
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, etc.)
|
Level 3
|
significant unobservable inputs (including the Trusts own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not
necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing
in those securities.
C. Security Transactions Investment
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains
and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. Legal
expenditures that are expected to result in the restructuring of
a plan of reorganization for an investment are recorded as
realized losses. The Trust may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis,
with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the
security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during
this period. The Trust will segregate assets with the custodian
having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until
payment is made. At January 31, 2010, the Trust had no
when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.
The Trust may invest in repurchase agreements, which are
short-term investments in which the Trust acquires ownership of
a debt security and the seller agrees to repurchase the security
at a future time and specified price. Repurchase agreements are
fully collateralized by the underlying debt security. The Trust
will make payment for such securities only upon physical
delivery or evidence of book entry transfer to the account of
the custodian bank. The seller is required to maintain the value
of the underlying security at not less than the repurchase
proceeds due the Trust. At January 31, 2010, the Trust had
no repurchase agreements.

Van Kampen
Senior Income Trust
Notes
to Financial
Statements n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited) continued
D. Investment Income Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded
on an accrual basis. Facility fees received are treated as
market discounts. Market premiums are amortized and discounts
are accreted over the stated life of each applicable senior
loan, note, or other fixed income security. Other income is
comprised primarily of amendment fees which are recorded when
received. Amendment fees are earned as compensation for agreeing
to changes in loan agreements.
E. Federal Income Taxes It is the
Trusts policy to comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially
all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
provision for federal income taxes is required. Management has
concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. If
applicable, the Trust recognizes interest accrued related to
unrecognized tax benefits in Interest Expense and
penalties in Other expenses on the Statement of
Operations. The Trust files tax returns with the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Generally, each of the tax
years in the four year period ended July 31, 2009, remains
subject to examination by taxing authorities.
The Trust intends to utilize provisions of the federal income
tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward
for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such
losses against any future realized capital gains. At
July 31, 2009, the Trust had an accumulated capital loss
carryforward for tax purposes of $364,380,249 which will expire
according to the following schedule.

F. Distribution of Income and Gains The
Trust intends to declare and pay monthly dividends from net
investment income to common shareholders. Net realized gains, if
any, are distributed at least annually to common shareholders.
Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may
include short term capital gains, which are included as ordinary
income for tax purposes.

Van Kampen

Notes

earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Undistributed ordinary income
|
|
$
|
1,730,666
|
|
Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting
and tax purposes primarily due to reclass of swap income from
gains/losses, as a result of the deferral of losses resulting
from wash sale transactions and gains and losses recognized on
securities for tax purposes but not for book purposes.
G. Foreign Currency Translation Assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked
prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated at
the rate of exchange prevailing when such securities were
acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at rates
prevailing when accrued. Unrealized gains and losses on
investments resulting from changes in exchange rates and the
unrealized gains or losses on translations of other assets or
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in
foreign currency translation on the Statement of Operations.
Realized gains and losses on investments resulting from changes
in exchange rates and the realized gains or losses on
translations of other assets or liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are included in foreign currency transactions
on the Statement of Operations.
H. Reporting Subsequent
Events Management has evaluated the impact of any
subsequent events through March 26, 2010, the date the
financial statements were effectively issued. Management has
determined that there are no material events or transactions
that would affect the Trusts financial statements or
require disclosure in the Trusts financial statements
through this date.
2. Investment
Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with
Affiliates
Under the terms of the Trusts Investment Advisory
Agreement, the Adviser will provide investment advice and
facilities to the Trust for an annual fee of 0.85% of the
average daily managed assets. Managed assets are defined as the
gross asset value of the Trust minus the sum of accrued
liabilities, other than the aggregate amount of borrowings
undertaken by the Trust. In addition, the Trust will pay a
monthly administrative fee to Van Kampen Investments Inc.,
the Trusts Administrator, at an annual rate of 0.20% of
the average daily managed assets of the Trust. The
administrative services provided by the Administrator include
monitoring the provisions of the loan agreements and any
agreements with respect to participations and assignments,
record keeping responsibilities with respect to interests in
Variable Rate Senior Loans in the Trusts portfolio and
providing certain services to the holders of the Trusts
securities.
For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the Trust
recognized expenses of approximately $74,500 representing legal
services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom

price not above market value or net asset value (NAV), whichever
is lower at the time of purchase. For the six months ended
January 31, 2010, the Trust repurchased 10,100 of its
shares at an average discount of 10.50% from net asset value per
share.

6. 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 Trust may use derivative instruments for a variety of
reasons, such as to attempt to protect the Trust against
possible changes in the market value of its portfolio or to
generate potential gain. All of the Trusts portfolio
holdings, including derivative instruments, are marked to market
each day with the change in value reflected in unrealized
appreciation/depreciation. Risks may arise as a result of the
potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of
their contracts.
The Trust is subject to credit risk in the normal course of
pursuing its investment objectives. The Trust may enter into
credit default swaps to manage its exposure to the market or
certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to
defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create
exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not
otherwise exposed. A credit default swap is an agreement between
two parties to exchange the credit risk of an issuer or index of
issuers. A buyer of a credit default swap is said to buy
protection by paying periodic fees in return for a contingent
payment from the seller if the issuer has a credit event such as
bankruptcy, a failure to pay outstanding obligations or
deteriorating credit while the swap is outstanding. A seller of
a credit default swap is said to sell protection and thus
collects the periodic fees and profits if the credit of the
issuer remains
41
Van Kampen
Senior Income Trust
Notes
to Financial
Statements n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited) continued
stable or improves while the swap
is outstanding. The seller in a credit default swap contract
would be required to pay an
agreed-upon
amount to the buyer in the event of an adverse credit event of
the issuer. This
agreed-upon
amount approximates the notional amount of the swap as disclosed
in the table following the Portfolio of Investments and is
estimated to be the maximum potential future payment that the
seller could be required to make under the credit default swap
contract. For the six months ended January 31, 2010, the
average notional amount of credit default swap contracts entered
into by the Trust acting as a buyer or seller of protection were
$0 and $11,500,000, respectively. In the event of an adverse
credit event, the seller generally does not have any contractual
remedies against the issuer or any other third party. However,
if a physical settlement is elected, the seller would receive
the defaulted credit and, as a result, become a creditor of the
issuer.
The current credit rating of each individual issuer is listed in
the table following the Portfolio of Investments and serves as
an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance
risk of the credit derivative. Alternatively, for credit default
swaps on an index of credits, the quoted market prices and
current values serve as an indicator of the current status of
the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative.
Generally, lower credit ratings and increasing market values, in
absolute terms, represent a deterioration of the credit and a
greater likelihood of an adverse credit event of the issuer.
The Trust accrues for the periodic fees on credit default swaps
on a daily basis with the net amount accrued recorded within
unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. Upon
cash settlement of the periodic fees, the net amount is recorded
as realized gain/loss on swap contracts on the Statement of
Operations. Net unrealized gains are recorded as an asset or net
unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of the swap
contracts is reported as unrealized gains or losses on the
Statement of Operations. Upfront payments received or made upon
entering into a credit default swap contract, if any, are
recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations
upon termination or maturity of the swap. Credit default swaps
may involve greater risks than if a trust had invested in the
issuer directly. The Trusts maximum risk or loss from
counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the
protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk
is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the
Trust and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by
the counterparty to the Trust to cover the Trusts exposure
to the counterparty.
The Trust may sell credit default swaps which expose it to risk
of loss from credit risk related events specified in the
contract. Although contract-specific, credit events are
generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring,
obligation acceleration, obligation default, or
repudiation/moratorium. As disclosed in the table following the
Portfolio of Investments, the aggregate fair value of credit
default swaps in a net liability position as of January 31,
2010 was $5,584. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as
collateral, net of assets received as collateral, for these
swaps was $50,000. If a defined credit event had occurred as of
January 31, 2010, the swaps credit-risk-related
contingent features would have been triggered and the Trust
would have been required to pay $7,000,000 less the value of the
contracts related reference obligations.
Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and
there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps.
Therefore, swaps are subject to the risk of default or
non-performance by the counterparty. If there is a default by
the counterparty to a swap agreement, the Trust will have
contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the
transaction. Counterparties are required to pledge collateral
daily (based on the valuation of
42
Van Kampen
Senior Income Trust
Notes
to Financial
Statements n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited) continued
each swap) on behalf of the Trust
with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized
gain. Reciprocally, when the Trust has an unrealized loss on a
swap contract, the Trust has instructed the custodian to pledge
cash or liquid securities as collateral with a value
approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss.
Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if
and when the swap valuations fluctuate. Cash collateral is
disclosed in the table following the Portfolio of Investments.
Cash collateral has been offset against open swap contracts
under the provisions of FASB ASC
210-20,
Offsetting (formerly known as FASB Interpretation
No. 39) and are included within Swap
Contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For
cash collateral received, the Trust pays a monthly fee to the
counterparty based on the effective rate for Federal Funds. This
fee, when paid, is included within realized gain/loss on swap
contracts on the Statement of Operations.
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) (formerly
known as FAS 161), is intended to improve financial
reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced
disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why
the Trust uses derivative instruments, how these derivative
instruments are accounted for and their effects on the
Trusts financial position and results of operations.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the
Trusts derivative contracts by primary risk exposure as of
January 31, 2010.

7. Senior
Loan Participation Commitments
The Trust invests primarily in participations, assignments, or
acts as a party to the primary lending syndicate of a Variable
Rate Senior Loan interest to United States and foreign
corporations, partnerships, and other entities. When the Trust
purchases a participation of a Senior Loan interest, the Trust
typically enters into a contractual agreement with the lender or
other third party selling the participation, but not with the
borrower directly. As such, the
43

Notes
to Financial

Trust assumes the credit risk of
the borrower, selling participant or other persons

8. Borrowings
The Trust may utilize financial leverage to the maximum extent
allowable under the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a Trust
generally may not (i) borrow money greater than
331/3%
of the Trusts total assets or (ii) issue preferred
shares greater than 50% of the Trusts total assets. In
using a combination of borrowing money and issuing preferred
shares, the maximum allowable leverage is somewhere between
331/3%
and 50% (but in no event more than 50%) of the Trusts
total assets based on the relative amounts borrowed or preferred
shares issued.
The Trust had entered into a $625 million annual revolving
credit and security agreement which closed on September 10,
2009. This revolving credit agreement was secured by the assets
of the Trust. In connection with this agreement, for the period
August 1, 2009 to September 10, 2009, the Trust
incurred fees of approximately $515,700 and had an average daily
balance of borrowings under this agreement of $41,707,317 with a
weighted average interest rate of 0.70%.
On September 11, 2009, the Trust entered into a
$200 million revolving credit and security agreement. This
revolving credit agreement is secured by the assets of the
Trust. In connection with this agreement, for the period
September 11, 2009 to January 31, 2010, the Trust incurred
fees of approximately $1,075,700 and had an average daily
balance of borrowings under this agreement of $88,433,566 with a
weighted average interest rate of 0.49%. Effective
January 6, 2010, an amendment to the revolving credit and
security agreement increased the borrowing limit to
$300 million.
9. Preferred
Shares Issuance
The Trust has outstanding 2,800 shares each of
Series M, Series T, Series W, Series TH and
Series F Auction Preferred Shares (APS), $0.01 Par Value,
$25,000 liquidation preference, for a total issuance of
$350 million. Dividends are cumulative and the dividend
rates are generally reset every seven days through an auction
process. Beginning on February 12, 2008 and continuing
through January 31, 2010, all series of preferred shares of
the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the
dividend rates of these preferred shares were reset to the
maximum applicable rate on APS. The average rate in effect on
January 31, 2010 was 1.708%. During the six months ended
January 31, 2010, the rates ranged from 1.706% to 1.763%.
The Trust pays annual fees equivalent to 0.25% of the preferred
share liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated
with the preferred auctions. These fees are included as a
component of the Preferred Share Maintenance expense
on the Statement of Operations.
The APS are redeemable at the option of the Trust in whole or in
part at the liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Trust is subject to
44
Van Kampen
Senior Income Trust
Notes
to Financial
Statements n January 31,
2010 (Unaudited) continued
certain asset coverage tests and
the APS are subject to mandatory redemption if the tests are not
met.
10.
Indemnifications
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of
indemnifications. The Trusts maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown. However, the Trust has not had prior
claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the
risk of loss to be remote.
11. Significant
Event
On October 19, 2009, Morgan Stanley, the parent company of
Van Kampen Investments Inc., announced that it has reached
a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its retail
asset management business to Invesco Ltd. (the
Transaction). The Transaction includes a sale of the
part of the asset management business that advises funds,
including the Van Kampen family of funds. The Transaction
is subject to certain approvals and other conditions, and is
currently expected to close in mid-2010.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the closing of the
Transaction will cause the Trusts current investment
advisory agreement with Van Kampen Asset Management, a
subsidiary of Van Kampen Investments Inc., to terminate. In
connection with the Transaction, the Trusts Board of
Trustees has approved a new investment advisory agreement (which
includes a master subadvisory agreement) with Invesco Advisers,
Inc., a subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. The new advisory agreement
for the Trust (the Agreement) is subject to
shareholder approval. The Agreement will be presented to
shareholders of the Trust at a special meeting of shareholders.
12. Legal
Matters
The Trust is one of numerous defendants (Lenders)
that have been named in an adversary proceeding pending in the
Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida (the
Court). The action, entitled In re Tousa Inc., et
al., was filed on July 15, 2008, by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors of home building companies to
which the Lenders loaned money through different lending
facilities. An amended complaint was filed on October 17,
2008. Plaintiff alleges that monies used to repay the Lenders
should be avoided as fraudulent and preferential transfers under
the bankruptcy laws. More specifically, Plaintiff alleges that
subsidiaries of the home building companies were allegedly
forced to become co-borrowers and guarantors of the monies used
to repay the Lenders, and that the subsidiaries did not receive
fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value when they
transferred the proceeds to repay the Lenders. Plaintiff seeks
to avoid the transfers and other equitable relief. The Trust and
the other Lenders are named as defendants in two separate
lending capacities; first, as lenders in a credit agreement (the
Credit Lenders); and second, as lenders in a term
loan (the Term Loan Lenders). The Trust, as Credit
Lender, moved to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court denied
the motion to dismiss on December 4, 2008. The Trust and
the other Credit Lenders filed a motion for leave to appeal the
dismissal, which was denied on February 23, 2009. Plaintiff
thereafter filed a Second Amended Complaint that was superseded
by a Third Amended Complaint. The Trust filed two answers to the
Third Amended Complaint in its respective capacities as a Credit
Lender and a Term Loan Lender. A court-ordered mediation took
place in March 2009, but no resolution was reached. The case
went to trial, which concluded in August 2009. On
October 13, 2009, the Court found in favor of Plaintiff and
ordered the Credit Lenders and Term Loan Lenders to disgorge any
principal

Notes
to Financial
Statements n January 31,

received on the loans, plus
interest, as well as any attorneys fees. Additionally, the
Court ordered that defendants post a bond for 110% of the
ordered disgorged amounts, which was posted in December 2009.
The respective Credit Lenders and Term Loan Lenders have
appealed the judgment. The outcome of the appeal process is not
expected until at least the fall of 2010.
The Trust is one of hundreds of defendants which include
non-agent lender defendants that had been named in litigation
filed by the Adelphia Recovery Trust (ART) in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
in an action entitled Adelphia Recovery Trust v. Bank of
America, N.A., et al. which alleged that a wide swath of
financial institutions such as investment banks, agent lenders
and non-agent lenders worked together to assist the Rigas family
in its defrauding of Adelphia. The complaint by ART against the
non-agent lenders stated certain claims including equitable
disallowance, voidable preferences and fraudulent transfers and
sought, among other remedies, to disallow and/or void certain
transfers and repayments the non-agent lenders received in
connection with loans made to Adelphia. The non-agent lenders,
which include the Trust, moved to dismiss all claims against
them. The motions to dismiss all claims against the non-agent
lenders were granted in June, 2008 and final judgment was
entered in December 2008. ART appealed the judgment to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July
2009. The outcome of the appeal is not expected until sometime
in 2010.
In managements opinion, there is no material impact to the
Trust as a result of these legal matters.
13. Accounting
Pronouncement
On January 21, 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting
Standards Update, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements, which provides guidance on how investment
assets and liabilities are to be valued and disclosed.
Specifically, the amendment requires reporting entities to
disclose i) the input and valuation techniques used to
measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair
value measurements, for Level 2 or Level 3 positions
ii) transfers between all levels (including Level 1
and Level 2) will be required to be disclosed on a
gross basis (i.e. transfers out must be disclosed separately
from transfers in) as well as the reason(s) for the transfer and
iii) purchases, sales, issuances and settlements must be
shown on a gross basis in the Level 3 rollforward rather
than as one net number. The effective date of the amendment is
for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2009. However, the requirement to provide the Level 3
activity for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a
gross basis will be effective for interim and annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2010. At this time, management
is evaluating the implications of the amendment to ASC 820 and
the impact it will have on financial statement disclosures.
14. Subsequent
Event
The Trust redeemed 1,200 shares each of Series M,
Series, T, Series W, Series TH and Series F APS.
The redemptions occurred from February 8, 2010 to
February 12, 2010 and totaled $150,000,000.
