The performance data quoted represent past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future
results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return, net asset value and common
share market price will fluctuate so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Please
visit invesco.com/performance for the most recent month-end performance. Performance figures
reflect Trust expenses, the reinvestment of distributions (if any) and changes in net asset value
(NAV) for performance based on NAV and changes in market price for performance based on market
price.
Since the Trust is a closed-end management investment company, shares of the Trust may trade
at a discount or premium from the NAV. This characteristic is separate and distinct from the risk
that NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be a greater risk to
investors expecting to sell their shares after a short time. The Trust cannot predict whether
shares will trade at, above or below NAV. The Trust should not be viewed as a vehicle for trading
purposes. It is designed primarily for risk-tolerant long-term investors.
The
Barclays Capital New York Municipal Index
is an index of New York investment grade municipal
bonds.
The Trust is not managed to track the performance of any particular index, including the
index(es) defined here, and consequently, the performance of the Trust may deviate significantly
from the performance of the index(es).
A direct investment cannot be made in an index. Unless otherwise indicated, index results
include reinvested dividends, and they do not reflect sales charges.

Invesco Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan) offers you a prompt and simple way to reinvest your
dividends and capital gains distributions (Distributions) into additional shares of your Trust.
Under the Plan, the money you earn from Distributions will be reinvested automatically in more
shares of your Trust, allowing you to potentially increase your investment over time.
Plan benefits
n
|
|
Add to your account:
|
|
|
|
You may increase the amount of shares in your Trust easily and automatically with the Plan.
|
|
n
|
|
Low transaction costs:
|
|
|
|
Shareholders who participate in the Plan are able to buy shares at below-market prices when the
Trust is trading at a premium to its net asset value (NAV). In addition, transaction costs are low
because when new shares are issued by a Trust, there is no fee, and when shares are bought in
blocks on the open market, the per share fee is shared among all Participants.
|
|
n
|
|
Convenience:
|
|
|
|
You will receive a detailed account statement from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the Agent)
which administers the Plan. The statement shows your total Distributions, date of investment,
shares acquired, and price per share, as well as the total number of shares in your reinvestment
account. You can also access your account via the Internet. To do this, please go to
invesco.com/us.
|
|
n
|
|
Safekeeping:
|
|
|
|
The Agent will hold the shares it has acquired for you in safekeeping.
|
How to participate in the Plan
If you own shares in your own name, you can participate directly in the Plan. If your shares
are held in street name in the name of your brokerage firm, bank, or other financial
institution you must instruct that entity to participate on your behalf. If they are unable to
participate on your behalf, you may request that they reregister your shares in your own name so
that you may enroll in the Plan.
How to enroll
To enroll in the Plan, please read the Terms and Conditions in the Plan Brochure. You can
enroll in the Plan by visiting invesco.com/us, calling toll-free 800 341 2929 or notifying us in
writing at Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence,
RI 02940-3078. Please include your Trust name and account number and ensure that all shareholders
listed on the account sign these written instructions. Your participation in the Plan will begin
with the next Distribution payable after the Agent receives your authorization, as long as they
receive it before the record date, which is generally 10 business days before such Distributions
are paid. If your authorization arrives after such record date, your participation in the Plan will
begin with the following Distributions.
How the Plan works
If you choose to participate in the Plan, your Distributions will be promptly reinvested for
you, automatically increasing your reinvestment shares. If the Trust is trading at a share price
that is equal to its NAV, youll pay that amount for your reinvested shares. However, if the Trust
is trading above or below NAV, the price is determined by one of two ways:
|
1.
|
|
Premium: If the Trust is trading at a premium a market price that is higher than its NAV
youll pay either the NAV or 95 percent of the market price, whichever is greater. When the
Trust trades at a premium, youll pay less for your reinvested shares than an investor
purchasing shares on the stock exchange. Keep in mind, a portion of your price reduction may
be taxable because you are receiving shares at less than market price.
|
|
|
2.
|
|
Discount: If the Trust is trading at a discount a
market price that is lower than NAV
youll pay the market price for your reinvested shares.
|
Costs of the Plan
There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting Distributions because the Plans fees are paid
by your Trust. If your Trust is trading at or above its NAV, your new shares are issued directly by
the Trust and there are no brokerage charges or fees. However, if your Trust is trading at a
discount, the shares are purchased on the open market, and you will pay your portion of per share
fees. These per share fees are typically less than the standard brokerage charges for individual
transactions because shares are purchased for all Participants in blocks, resulting in lower fees
for each individual Participant. Any service or per share fees are added to the purchase price. Per
share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the Agent is required to pay.
Tax implications
The automatic reinvestment of Distributions does not relieve you of any income tax that may be
due on Distributions. You will receive tax information annually to help you prepare your federal
income tax return.
Invesco does not offer tax advice. The tax information contained herein is general and is not
exhaustive by nature. It was not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used, by any
taxpayer for avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer under U.S. federal tax laws.
Federal and state tax laws are complex and constantly changing. Shareholders should always consult
a legal or tax adviser for information concerning their individual situation.
How to withdraw from the Plan
You may withdraw from the Plan at any time by calling 800 341 2929, visiting invesco.com/us or
by writing to Invesco Closed-End Funds, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078,
Providence, RI 02940-3078. Simply indicate that you would like to withdraw from the Plan, and be
sure to include your Trust name and account number. Also, ensure that all shareholders listed on
the account have signed these written instructions. If you withdraw, you have three options with
regard to the shares held in the Plan:
|
1.
|
|
If you opt to continue to hold your non-certificated whole shares (Investment Plan Book
Shares), they will be held by the Agent electronically as Direct Registration Book-Shares
(Book-Entry Shares) and fractional shares will be sold at the then-current market price.
Proceeds will be sent via check to your address of record after deducting applicable fees.
|
|
|
2.
|
|
If you opt to sell your shares through the Agent, we will sell all full and fractional shares
and send the proceeds via check to your address of record after deducting a $2.50 service fee
and applicable per share fees. Per share fees include any applicable brokerage commissions the
Agent is required to pay.
|
|
|
3.
|
|
You may sell your shares through your financial adviser through the Direct Registration
System (DRS). DRS is a service within the securities industry that allows Trust shares to be
held in your name in electronic format. You retain full ownership of your shares, without
having to hold a share certificate. You should contact your financial adviser to learn more
about any restrictions or fees that may apply.

NOTE 1
Significant Accounting Policies
Invesco Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York
Municipals (the Trust) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940
Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment
company.
The Trusts investment objective is to seek to
provide a high level of current income exempt from federal as
well as New York State and New York City income taxes,
consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust will invest
substantially all of its assets in New York municipal securities
rated investment grade at the time of investment but may invest
up to 20% of its assets in unrated securities which are believed
to be of comparable quality to those rated investment grade.
The following is a summary of the significant
accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of
its financial statements.
|
|
|
A.
|
|
Security
Valuations
Securities, including
restricted securities, are valued according to the following
policy.
|
|
|
Securities are fair valued using an
evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service
approved by the Board of Trustees. Evaluated quotes provided by
the pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance
on quoted prices and may reflect appropriate factors such as
institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield,
quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual
trading characteristics and other market data. Short-term
obligations, including commercial paper, having 60 days or
less to maturity are recorded at amortized cost which
approximates value. Securities with a demand feature exercisable
within one to seven days are valued at par. Debt securities are
subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition, all debt
securities involve some risk of default with respect to interest
and principal payments.
|
|
|
Securities for which market quotations
either are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
supervision of the Trusts officers following procedures
approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the factors which may
be considered in determining fair value are fundamental
analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and
duration of any restrictions on transferability or disposition;
trading
|
13 Invesco
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York
Municipals
|
|
|
|
|
in similar securities by the same issuer or comparable
companies; relevant political, economic or issuer specific news;
and other relevant factors under the circumstances.
|
|
|
Valuations change in response to many
factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the
issuer, the value of the issuers assets, general economic
conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market
liquidity. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation,
the values reflected in the financial statements may materially
differ from the value received upon actual sale of those
investments.
|
B.
|
|
Securities
Transactions and Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Realized gains or losses on sales are computed on the basis of
specific identification of the securities sold. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Dividend
income (net of withholding tax, if any) is recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized
and/or
accreted for financial reporting purposes.
|
|
|
The Trust may periodically participate
in litigation related to Trust investments. As such, the Trust
may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds
received are included in the Statement of Operations as realized
gain (loss) for investments no longer held and as unrealized
gain (loss) for investments still held.
|
|
|
Brokerage commissions and mark ups are
considered transaction costs and are recorded as an increase to
the cost basis of securities purchased
and/or
a
reduction of proceeds on a sale of securities. Such transaction
costs are included in the determination of net realized and
unrealized gain (loss) from investment securities reported in
the Statement of Operations and the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets and the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on
securities per share in the Financial Highlights. Transaction
costs are included in the calculation of the Trusts net
asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Trusts total
returns. These transaction costs are not considered operating
expenses and are not reflected in net investment income reported
in the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net
Assets, or the net investment income per share and ratios of
expenses and net investment income reported in the Financial
Highlights, nor are they limited by any expense limitation
arrangements between the Trust and the investment adviser.

For the purposes of making
investment selection decisions and presentation in the Schedule
of Investments, the investment adviser may determine the country
in which an issuer is located
and/or
credit risk exposure based on various factors. These factors
include the laws of the country under which the issuer is
organized, where the issuer maintains a principal office, the
country in which the issuer derives 50% or more of its total
revenues and the country that has the primary market for the
issuers securities, as well as other criteria. Among the
other criteria that may be evaluated for making this
determination are the country in which the issuer maintains 50%
or more of its assets, the type of security, financial
guarantees and enhancements, the nature of the collateral and
the sponsor organization. Country of issuer
and/or
credit risk exposure has been determined to be the United States
of America, unless otherwise noted.

Distributions
The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net
investment income to common shareholders. Distributions from net
realized capital gain, if any, are generally paid annually and
are distributed on a pro rata basis to common and preferred
shareholders. The Trust may elect to treat a portion of the
proceeds from redemptions as distributions for federal income
tax purposes.
|
E.
|
|
Federal Income
Taxes
The Trust intends to comply with
the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and
to distribute substantially all of the Trusts taxable
earnings to shareholders. As such, the Trust will not be subject
to federal income taxes on otherwise taxable income (including
net realized capital gain) that is distributed to shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in
the financial statements.
|
|
|
In addition, the Trust intends to invest
in such municipal securities to allow it to qualify to pay
shareholders exempt dividends, as defined in the
Internal Revenue Code.
|
|
|
The Trust files tax returns in the
U.S. Federal jurisdiction and certain other jurisdictions.
Generally, the Trust is subject to examinations by such taxing
authorities for up to three years after the filing of the return
for the tax period.
|
F.
|
|
Accounting
Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period including
estimates and assumptions related to taxation. Actual results
could differ from those estimates by a significant amount. In
addition, the Trust monitors for material events or transactions
that may occur or become known after the period-end date and
before the date the financial statements are released to print.
|
G.
|
|
Indemnifications
Under the Trusts organizational documents, each Trustee,
officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified
against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of
their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of
business, the Trust enters into contracts, including the
Trusts servicing agreements that contain a variety of
indemnification clauses. The Trusts maximum exposure under
these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future
claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet
occurred. The risk of material loss as a result of such
indemnification claims is considered remote.
|
H.
|
|
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For the purposes of the
Statement of Cash Flows the Trust defines Cash and Cash
Equivalents as cash (including foreign currency), money market
funds and other investments held in lieu of cash and excludes
investments made with cash collateral received.
|
I.
|
|
Securities
Purchased on a When-Issued and Delayed Delivery
Basis
The Trust may purchase and sell
interests in portfolio securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future
date. No income accrues to the Trust on such interests or
securities in connection with such transactions prior to the
date the Trust actually takes delivery of such interests or
securities. These transactions are subject to market
fluctuations and are subject to the risk that the value at
delivery may be more or less than the trade date purchase price.
Although the Trust will generally purchase these securities with
the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such
securities prior to the settlement date.
|
J.
|
|
Floating Rate
Note Obligations
The Trust invests in
inverse floating rate securities, such as Residual Interest
Bonds (RIBs) or Tender Option Bonds
(TOBs) for investment purposes and to enhance the
yield of the Trust. Inverse floating rate investments tend to
underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising
interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for
fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain
|
14 Invesco
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York

|
|
|
|
|
relatively stable. Such transactions may be purchased in the
secondary market without first owning the underlying bond or by
the sale of fixed rate bonds by the Trust to special purpose
trusts established by a broker dealer (Dealer
Trusts) in exchange for cash and residual interests in the
Dealer Trusts assets and cash flows, which are in the form
of inverse floating rate securities. The Dealer Trusts finance
the purchases of the fixed rate bonds by issuing floating rate
notes to third parties and allowing the Trust to retain residual
interest in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the
Dealer Trusts have interest rates that reset weekly and the
floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes
to the Dealer Trusts for redemption at par at each reset date.
The residual interests held by the Trust (inverse floating rate
investments) include the right of the Trust (1) to cause the
holders of the floating rate notes to tender their notes at par
at the next interest rate reset date, and (2) to transfer the
municipal bond from the Dealer Trusts to the Trust, thereby
collapsing the Dealer Trusts.
|
|
|
TOBs are presently classified as private
placement securities. Private placement securities are subject
to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or are otherwise
not readily marketable. As a result of the absence of a public
trading market for these securities, they may be less liquid
than publicly traded securities. Although these securities may
be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices
realized from these sales could be less than those originally
paid by the Trust or less than what may be considered the fair
value of such securities.
|
|
|
The Trust accounts for the transfer of
bonds to the Dealer Trusts as secured borrowings, with the
securities transferred remaining in the Trusts investment
assets, and the related floating rate notes reflected as Trust
liabilities under the caption
Floating rate note
obligations
on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
Trust records the interest income from the fixed rate bonds
under the caption
Interest
and records the expenses
related to floating rate obligations and any administrative
expenses of the Dealer Trusts as a component of
Interest,
facilities and maintenance fees
on the Statement of
Operations.
|
|
|
The Trust generally invests in inverse
floating rate securities that include embedded leverage, thus
exposing the Trust to greater risks and increased costs. The
primary risks associated with inverse floating rate securities
are varying degrees of liquidity and the changes in the value of
such securities in response to changes in market rates of
interest to a greater extent than the value of an equal
principal amount of a fixed rate security having similar credit
quality, redemption provisions and maturity which may cause the
Trusts net asset value to be more volatile than if it had
not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain
instances, the short-term floating rate interests created by the
special purpose trust may not be able to be sold to third
parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such
interests for repayment of principal, may not be able to be
remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the special purpose
trust holding the long-term fixed rate bonds may be collapsed.
In the case of RIBs or TOBs created by the contribution of
long-term fixed income bonds by the Trust, the Trust will then
be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered
securities. During times of market volatility, illiquidity or
uncertainty, the Trust could be required to sell other portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time to raise cash to meet that
obligation.
|
K.
|
|
Other
Risks
The value of, payment of interest
on, repayment of principal for and the ability to sell a
municipal security may be affected by constitutional amendments,
legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives and the economics of the regions
in which the issuers are located.
|
|
|
Since many municipal securities are
issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to
education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions
in those sectors can affect the overall municipal securities
market and a Trusts investments in municipal securities.
|
|
|
There is some risk that a portion or all
of the interest received from certain tax-free municipal
securities could become taxable as a result of determinations by
the Internal Revenue Service.
|
L.

Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees
Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related
borrowing costs such as commitment fees and other expenses
associated with lines of credit and interest and administrative
expenses related to establishing and maintaining Auction Rate
Preferred Shares and floating rate note obligations, if any.

NOTE 2Advisory
Fees and Other Fees Paid to Affiliates
The Trust has entered into a master investment advisory
agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser
or Invesco). Under the terms of the investment
advisory agreement, the Trust pays an advisory fee to the
Adviser based on the annual rate 0.55% of the Trusts
average daily net assets including current preferred shares and
leverage entered into to retire preferred shares of the Trust.
Under the terms of a master
sub-advisory
agreement between the Adviser and each of Invesco Asset
Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited,
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia
Limited, Invesco Hong Kong Limited, Invesco Senior Secured
Management, Inc. and Invesco Canada Ltd. (collectively, the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers)
the Adviser, not the Trust, may pay 40% of the fees paid to the
Adviser to any such Affiliated
Sub-Adviser(s)
that provide(s) discretionary investment management services to
the Trust based on the percentage of assets allocated to such
Sub-Adviser(s).
The Adviser has contractually agreed, through at
least June 30, 2012, to waive advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the
Trusts expenses (excluding certain items discussed below)
to 1.02%. In determining the Advisers obligation to waive
advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into
account, and could cause the Trusts expenses to exceed the
limit reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and
maintenance feest; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on
short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items; and
(5) expenses that the Trust has incurred but did not
actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless
the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or
continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on
June 30, 2012.
For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the
Adviser waived advisory fees of $87,370.
The Trust has entered into a master administrative
services agreement with Invesco pursuant to which the Trust has
agreed to pay Invesco for certain administrative costs incurred
in providing accounting services to the Trust. For the six
months ended August 31, 2011, expenses incurred under this
agreement are shown in the Statement of Operations as
administrative services fees.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are
officers and directors of Invesco.

NOTE 3Additional
Valuation Information
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to
sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date,
under current market conditions. GAAP establishes a hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods giving the
highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices
in an active market for identical assets (Level 1) and
the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) generally when market prices are not readily
available or are unreliable. Based on the valuation inputs, the
securities or other investments are tiered into one of three
levels. Changes in valuation methods may result in transfers in
or out of an investments assigned level:
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
Prices are determined using quoted prices in an active market
for identical assets.
|
|
Level 2
|
Prices are determined using other significant observable inputs.
Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may
use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, yield curves, loss severities, default rates, discount
rates, volatilities and others.
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In
situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are
unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market
activity for an investment at the end of the period),
unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the
Trusts own assumptions about the factors market
participants would use in determining fair value of the
securities or instruments and would be based on the best
available information.
|
The following is a summary of the tiered valuation
input levels, as of August 31, 2011. The level assigned to
the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk
or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values
reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from
the value received upon actual sale of those investments.
During the six months ended August 31, 2011,
there were no significant transfers between investment levels.

NOTE 4Trustees
and Officers Fees and Benefits
Trustees and Officers Fees and Benefits
include amounts accrued by the Trust to pay remuneration to
certain Trustees and Officers of the Trust.
For the six months ended August 31, 2011, the
Trust paid legal fees of $19,512 for services rendered by
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as counsel to
the Independent Trustees. A member of that firm is a Trustee of
the Trust.
NOTE 5Cash
Balances and Borrowings
The Trust is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or
overdrawn balance in its account with The State Street Bank and
Trust Company, the custodian bank. To compensate the custodian
bank for such overdrafts, the overdrawn Trust may either
(1) leave funds as a compensating balance in the account so
the custodian bank can be compensated by earning the additional
interest; or (2) compensate by paying the custodian bank at
a rate agreed upon by the custodian bank and Invesco, not to
exceed the contractually agreed upon rate.
Inverse floating rate obligations resulting from the
transfer of bonds to Dealer Trusts are accounted for as secured
borrowings. The average floating rate notes outstanding and
average annual interest and fees related to inverse floating
rate note obligations during the six months ended
August 31, 2011 were $58,792,143 and 0.90%, respectively.
NOTE 6Tax
Information
The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed
are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Reclassifications are made to the Trusts capital accounts
to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or
available capital loss carryforward) under income tax
regulations. The tax character of distributions paid during the
year and the tax components of net assets will be reported at
the Trusts fiscal year-end.
Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported
as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other
activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss
carryforward actually available for the Trust to utilize. The
ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may
be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related
regulations based on the results of future transactions.
The Trust had a capital loss carryforward as of
February 28, 2011 which expires as follows:

The Trustees have approved share repurchases whereby
the Trust may, when appropriate, purchase shares in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions at a price not
above market value or net asset value, whichever is lower at the
time of purchase.
NOTE 9Preferred
Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Trust has issued Auction Rate Preferred Shares
(preferred shares) which have a liquidation of
$25,000 per share plus the redemption premium, if any, plus
accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared,
thereon to the date of distribution. The Trust may redeem such
shares, in whole or in part, at the original purchase price of
$25,000 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether
or not declared, thereon to the date of redemption.
Historically, the Trust paid annual fees equivalent
to 0.25% of the preferred share liquidation value for the
remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auction.
Effective March 16, 2009, the Trust decreased this amount
to 0.15% due to auction failures. In the future, if auctions no
longer fail, the Trust may return to an annual fee payment of
0.25% of the preferred share liquidation value. These fees are
included as a component of interest, facilities and maintenance
fees on the Statement of Operations.
Dividends, which are cumulative, are reset through
auction procedures.

As of August 31, 2011.
|
|
|
For the six months ended
August 31, 2011.
|
Subsequent to August 31, 2011 and up through
September 29, 2011, the Trust paid dividends to preferred
shareholders at a rate ranging from 0.122% to 0.305% in the
aggregate amount of $12,142.
The Trust is subject to certain restrictions
relating to the preferred shares. Failure to comply with these
restrictions could preclude the Trust from declaring any
distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares
and/or
could
trigger the mandatory redemption of preferred shares at
liquidation value.
Beginning on February 13, 2008 and continuing
through August 31, 2011, 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.
The preferred shares, which are entitled to one vote
per share, generally vote with the common shares but vote
separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters
affecting the rights of the preferred shares.
The preferred shares are not listed on an exchange.
Investors in preferred shares may participate in auctions
through authorized broker-dealers; however, such broker-dealers
are not required to maintain a secondary market in preferred
shares, and there can be no assurance that a secondary market
will develop, or if it does develop, a secondary market may not
provide you with liquidity. When a preferred share auction
fails, investors may not be able to sell any or all of their
preferred shares and because of the nature of the market for
preferred shares, investors may receive less than the price paid
for their preferred shares if sold outside of the auction.

19 Invesco
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York
Municipals
NOTE 12Legal
Proceedings
The Trust received a shareholder demand letter dated
March 25, 2011, from one of the Trusts shareholders,
alleging that the Board and the officers of the Trust breached
their fiduciary duty and duty of loyalty and wasted Trust assets
by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate Preferred Securities
(ARPS) at their liquidation value. Specifically, the shareholder
claims that the Board and officers had no obligation to provide
liquidity to the ARPS shareholders, the redemptions were
improperly motivated to benefit the prior adviser by preserving
business relationships with the ARPS holders, i.e.,
institutional investors, and the market value and fair value of
the ARPS were less than par at the time they were redeemed. The
letter alleges that the redemption of the ARPS occurred at the
expense of the Trust and its common shareholders. The letter
demands that: 1) the Board take action against the prior
adviser and trustees/officers to recover damages; 2) the
Board refrain from authorizing further redemptions or
repurchases of ARPS by the Trust at prices in excess of fair
value or market value at the time of the transaction; and
3) if the Trust does not commence appropriate action, the
shareholder will commence a shareholder derivative action on
behalf of the Trust. The Board formed a Special Litigation
Committee (SLC) to investigate these claims and to
make a recommendation to the Board regarding whether pursuit of
these claims is in the best interests of the Trusts. Upon
completion of its evaluation, the SLC recommended that the Board
reject the demands specified in the shareholder demand letters,
after which the Board announced on June 24, 2011, that it
had adopted the SLCs recommendation and voted to reject
the demands. The Trust has incurred $99,000 in expenses relating
to these matters during the period ended August 31, 2011.
Management of Invesco and the Trust believe that the
outcome of the demand letter described above will have no
material adverse effect on the Trust or on the ability of
Invesco to provide ongoing services to the Trust.
20 Invesco
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York
Municipals
Approval
of Investment Advisory and
Sub-Advisory
Contracts
The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Invesco Van Kampen Trust
for Investment Grade New York Municipals (the Fund) is required
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to approve
annually the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with
Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) and the Master
Intergroup
Sub-Advisory
Contract (the
sub-advisory
contracts) with Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH,
Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management
(Japan) Limited, Invesco Australia Limited, Invesco Hong Kong
Limited, Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and Invesco
Canada Ltd. (collectively, the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers).
During contract renewal meetings held on May 8, 2011, the
Board as a whole, and the disinterested or
independent Trustees, who comprise more than 75% of
the Board, voting separately, approved the continuance of the
Funds investment advisory agreement and the
sub-advisory
contracts for another year, effective July 1, 2011. In
doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in
reviewing and approving the Funds investment advisory
agreement and
sub-advisory
contracts and the information that it is provided. The Board
determined that the Funds investment advisory agreement
and the
sub-advisory
contracts are in the best interests of the Fund and its
shareholders and the compensation to Invesco Advisers and the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
under the agreements is fair and reasonable.
The Boards
Fund Evaluation Process
The Board, acting directly and through its committees, meets
throughout the year to review the performance of the Invesco Van
Kampen funds. Over the course of each year, the Board, acting
directly and through its committees, meets with portfolio
managers for the funds and other members of management to review
the performance, investment objective(s), policies, strategies
and limitations and investment risks of the funds. The Board
meets regularly and at designated contract renewal meetings each
year to conduct a review of the performance, fees, expenses and
other matters related to the funds.
During the contract renewal process, the Trustees
receive comparative performance and fee data regarding the funds
prepared by Invesco Advisers and an independent company, Lipper,
Inc. (Lipper). The independent Trustees are assisted in their
annual evaluation of the funds investment advisory
agreements by fund counsel.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the
Funds investment advisory agreement and
sub-advisory
contracts, the Board considered, among other things, the factors
discussed below. The Trustees recognized that the advisory fees
for the Invesco Van Kampen funds reflect the results of years of
review and negotiation between the Trustees and Van Kampen Asset
Management, the funds predecessor investment adviser. The
Trustees deliberations and conclusions in a particular
year may be based in part on their deliberations and conclusions
regarding these same arrangements throughout the year and in
prior years. The Board noted the willingness of Invesco Advisers
personnel to engage in open and candid discussions with the
Board. One Trustee may have weighed a particular piece of
information differently than another Trustee.
The discussion below is a summary of the
Boards evaluation with respect to the Funds
investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the
material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis
for the Boards approval of the Funds investment
advisory agreement and
sub-advisory
contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current
as of May 8, 2011, and may not reflect consideration of
factors that became known to the Board after that date,
including, for example, changes to the Funds performance,
advisory fees, expense limitations
and/or
fee
waivers.
Factors and
Conclusions
|
|
A.
|
Nature, Extent
and Quality of Services Provided by Invesco Advisers and the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
|
The Board reviewed the advisory services provided to the Fund by
Invesco Advisers under the Funds investment advisory
agreement, the performance of Invesco Advisers in providing
these services, and the credentials and experience of the
officers and employees of Invesco Advisers who provide these
services. Based on their meetings throughout the year with the
Funds portfolio manager, the Board concluded that these
individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out
their responsibilities under the Funds investment advisory
agreement or
sub-advisory
contracts, as applicable. The Boards review of the
qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services
included the Boards consideration of Invesco
Advisers performance and investment process oversight,
independent credit analysis and investment risk management.
In determining whether to continue the Funds
investment advisory agreement, the Board considered the prior
relationship between Invesco Advisers (and previously Van Kampen
Asset Management) and the Fund, as well as the Boards
knowledge of Invesco Advisers operations, and concluded
that it is beneficial to maintain the current relationship, in
part, because of such knowledge. The Board also considered
services that Invesco Advisers and its affiliates provide to the
Invesco Van Kampen funds such as various back office support
functions, equity and fixed income trading operations, internal
audit and legal and compliance. The Board concluded that the
nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund
by Invesco Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and the
advisory services are provided in accordance with the terms of
the Funds investment advisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the services provided by the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
under the
sub-advisory
contracts and the credentials and experience of the officers and
employees of the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
who provide these services. The Board concluded that the
sub-advisory
contracts benefit the Fund and its shareholders by permitting
Invesco Advisers to use the resources and talents of the
Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature,
extent and quality of the services provided by the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
are appropriate and satisfactory and in accordance with the
terms of the Funds
sub-advisory
contracts.
The Board considered Fund performance as a relevant factor in
considering whether to approve the investment advisory
agreement. The Board did not view Fund performance as a relevant
factor in considering whether to approve the
sub-advisory
contracts for the Fund, as no Affiliated
Sub-Adviser
currently manages assets of the Fund.
The Board compared the Funds performance
during the past one, three and five calendar years to the
performance of funds in the Funds Lipper performance
universe and against the Barclays Capital New York Municipal
Bond Index. The Board noted that the Funds performance was
in the fourth quintile of its performance universe for the one,
three and five year periods (the first quintile being the best
performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst
performing funds). When considering a funds performance,
the Board places emphasis on trends and longer term returns.
|
|
C.
|
Advisory and
Sub-Advisory
Fees and Fee Waivers
|
The Board compared the Funds contractual advisory fee rate
to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the
Funds Lipper expense group at a common asset level. The
Board noted that the Funds contractual advisory fee rate
was below the median contractual advisory fee rate of funds in
its expense group. The Board also reviewed the methodology used
by Lipper in providing expense group
21 Invesco
Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York
Municipals
information, which includes using audited financial data from
the most recent annual report of each fund in the expense group
that was publicly available as of the end of the past calendar
year and including only one fund per investment adviser. The
Board noted that comparative data is as of varying dates, which
may affect the comparability of data during times of market
volatility.
The Board also compared the Funds effective
fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before
expense limitations/waivers) to the advisory fee rates of other
funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with
investment strategies comparable to those of the Fund. The Board
reviewed not only the advisory fees but other fees and expenses
(whether paid to Invesco Advisers, its affiliates or others) and
the Funds overall expense ratio.
The Board also considered the fees charged by
Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
to other client accounts with investment strategies comparable
to those of the Fund. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers or
the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
may charge lower fees to large institutional clients solely for
investment management services. Invesco Advisers reviewed with
the Board the significantly greater scope of services it
provides to the Invesco Van Kampen funds relative to other
client accounts. These additional services include provision of
administrative services, officers and office space, oversight of
service providers, preparation of shareholder reports, efforts
to support secondary market trading of the Funds shares,
preparation of financial information and regulatory compliance
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and stock
exchange listing standards, including preparation for,
coordinating the solicitation of proxies for, and conducting
annual shareholder meetings. The Board noted that
sub-advisory
fees charged by the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
to manage the Invesco Funds and to manage other client accounts
were often more comparable. The Board concluded that the
aggregate services provided to the Fund were sufficiently
different from those provided to institutional clients, and the
Board not place significant weight on these fee comparisons.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers has
contractually agreed to waive fees
and/or
limit
expenses of the Fund through at least June 30, 2012 in an
amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a
specified percentage of average daily net assets for each class
of the Fund. The Board also considered the effect this fee
waiver would have on the Funds total estimated expenses.
The Board also considered the services provided by
the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
pursuant to the
sub-advisory
contracts, as well as the allocation of fees between Invesco
Advisers and the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
pursuant to the
sub-advisory
contracts. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers provides
services to
sub-advised
Invesco Van Kampen funds, including oversight of the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers
as well as the additional services described above other than
day-to-day
portfolio management. The Board also noted that the
sub-advisory
fees have no direct effect on the Fund or its shareholders, as
they are paid by Invesco Advisers to the Affiliated
Sub-Advisers.
Based upon the information and considerations
described above, the Board concluded that the Funds
advisory and
sub-advisory
fees are fair and reasonable.
|
|
D.
|
Economies of
Scale and Breakpoints
|
The Board considered the extent to which there are economies of
scale in the provision of advisory services to the Fund. The
Board noted that most closed-end funds do not have fund level
breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience
substantial asset growth after the initial public offering. The
Board noted that although the Fund does not benefit from
economies of scale through contractual breakpoints, the Fund
does share directly in economies of scale through lower fees
charged by third party service providers based on the combined
size of the Invesco Van Kampen funds and other clients advised
by Invesco Advisers.
|
|
E.
|
Profitability and
Financial Resources
|
The Board reviewed information from Invesco Advisers concerning
the costs of the advisory and other services that Invesco
Advisers and its affiliates provide to the Fund and the
profitability of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in
providing these services. The Board reviewed with Invesco
Advisers the methodology used to prepare the profitability
information. The Board considered the profitability of Invesco
Advisers in connection with managing the Fund and the Invesco
Van Kampen funds. The Board noted that Invesco Advisers
continues to operate at a net profit from services Invesco
Advisers and its subsidiaries provide to the Fund and the
Invesco Van Kampen funds. The Board concluded that the level of
profits realized by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates from
providing services to the Fund is not excessive given the
nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the
Invesco Funds. The Board considered whether Invesco Advisers and
each Affiliated
Sub-Adviser
are financially sound and have the resources necessary to
perform their obligations under the investment advisory
agreement and
sub-advisory
contracts. The Board concluded that Invesco Advisers and each
Affiliated
Sub-Adviser
have the financial resources necessary to fulfill these
obligations.
|
|
F.
|
Collateral
Benefits to Invesco Advisers and its Affiliates
|
The Board considered various other benefits received by Invesco
Advisers and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund,
including the fees received for their provision of
administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered the
performance of Invesco Advisers and its affiliates in providing
these services and the organizational structure employed to
provide these services. The Board also considered that the
services are required for the operation of the Fund; that
Invesco Advisers and its affiliates can provide services, the
nature and quality of which are at least equal to those provided
by others offering the same or similar services; and that the
fees for such services are fair and reasonable in light of the
usual and customary charges by others for services of the same
nature and quality.
The Board considered that the Funds uninvested
cash and cash collateral from any securities lending
arrangements may be invested in money market funds advised by
Invesco Advisers pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
The Board noted that Invesco Advisers receives advisory fees
from these affiliated money market funds attributable to such
investments, although Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed
to waive through varying periods the advisory fees payable by
the Invesco Van Kampen Funds. The waiver is in an amount equal
to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco Advisers receives from
the affiliated money market funds with respect to the
Funds investment in the affiliated money market funds of
uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded
that the Funds investment of uninvested cash and cash
collateral from any securities lending arrangements in the
affiliated money market funds is in the best interests of the
Fund and its shareholders.
