 OVERVIEW

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
July 22, 2002

Dear Shareholder,

Due to events in the markets and the well-publicized controversies surrounding
certain companies, the recent months have been challenging for many investors.

Against this backdrop, you may be re-evaluating your investments. In this
regard, your financial advisor is a particularly valuable resource. Your advisor
can help you review your current asset allocation and determine whether it
remains appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.

You also have a time-tested partner in Van Kampen. With roots extending to 1927,
our legacy spans other market downturns and periods of uncertainty. While the
causes of turbulence have changed, our generations of experience have taught us
                  the enduring value of patience, discipline and long-term
                  focus.

                  Thank you for your continued trust in Van Kampen. We
appreciate the opportunity to help you and your loved ones enjoy life's true
wealth--family, friends and life's daily pleasures.

Sincerely,

[SIG]
Richard F. Powers, III
President and CEO
Van Kampen Asset Management Inc.

ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT

THE ECONOMY
OVERALL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY INCREASED MODESTLY IN JUNE, CONTINUING THE TREND THAT
HAS BEEN EVIDENT THROUGHOUT 2002.

SIGNS OF GROWTH WERE EVIDENT IN MANY OF THE STATISTICAL MEASURES RELEASED
THROUGHOUT THE MONTH. FOR EXAMPLE, MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY, WHICH SLOWLY GAINED
MOMENTUM IN RECENT MONTHS, CLIMBED TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE JUNE 1999.

AND, DESPITE LESS-THAN-ANTICIPATED EMPLOYMENT GROWTH AND INCREASING UNCERTAINTY
IN WORLD ECONOMICS AND POLITICS, U.S. CONSUMERS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT DOMESTIC
GROWTH THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF HOUSES, CARS AND EVERYDAY MERCHANDISE AND
SERVICES.

FINALLY, AS IF ACKNOWLEDGING HOW FAR THE ECONOMY HAS COME--AND HOW FAR IT STILL
HAS TO GO--THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD CHOSE TO LEAVE SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES AT
THE REMARKABLY LOW LEVELS THAT PREVAILED THROUGHOUT THE FIRST HALF OF 2002.

Q&A WITH YOUR PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

WE RECENTLY SPOKE WITH THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT TEAM FOR THE VAN KAMPEN BOND
FUND ABOUT THE KEY EVENTS AND ECONOMIC FORCES THAT SHAPED THE MARKETS AND
INFLUENCED THE FUND'S RETURN DURING THE 12-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2002. THE
FUND IS MANAGED BY THE ADVISER'S TAXABLE FIXED INCOME TEAM. CURRENT MEMBERS(1)
OF THE TEAM INCLUDE DAVID S. HOROWITZ, VICE PRESIDENT, AND GORDON W. LOERY,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION REFLECTS THEIR VIEWS ON THE FUND'S
PERFORMANCE.

(1) Team members may change at any time without notice.

Q   WHAT WAS THE MARKET
    ENVIRONMENT OF THE PAST 12 MONTHS?

A   The credit market entered the
period in a slump as concerns over the state of the U.S. economy and corporate
governance improprieties led many investors to trim their exposure to corporate
bonds. The situation was only worsened by the tragic events of September 11,
after which the corporate bond market suffered steep losses.

    The market seemed to recover its footing toward the end of the year as
investors' expectations turned to imminent recovery for the U.S. economy and, as
a result, for corporate profits. The equity markets also appeared to stabilize
during that time and through the first months of 2002, which provided further
support to the credit market. Wide spreads relative to Treasuries were the final
ingredient that enticed many investors back into the credit markets.

    The corporate market suffered another reversal in the spring, when a string
of high-profile accounting scandals began to seriously erode investor confidence
in public companies. Both the equity and the credit markets suffered greatly
from this loss of confidence.

    In sector terms, market performance was widely varied. Company-specific
scandals in such areas as energy/utilities (Enron) and cable (Adelphia) seemed
to drag down entire industry sectors, regardless of individual company
fundamentals. The telecom area continued its string of underperformance,
suffering more defaults than any other industry sector. Two high-profile
companies--WorldCom and Qwest--were downgraded from investment grade to high
yield, which further undermined confidence in the sector.

Q   HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM
    IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?

A   For the 12-month period ended
June 30, 2002, the fund generated a total return of 3.50 percent, based on
common share market price. The

                                        7


fund's return reflects a decrease in common share market price from $19.15 per
share on June 30, 2001, to $18.50 per share on June 30, 2002. The fund's
quarterly dividend of $0.3150 per share translates to a distribution rate of
6.81 percent based on the fund's closing common share market price on June 30,
2002. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment
return, share price and net asset value will fluctuate and fund shares, when
sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. As a result of recent
market activity, current performance may vary from the figures shown. For more
up-to-date information, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial
advisor.

    By comparison, the Lehman Brothers BBB Corporate Bond Index posted a total
return of 5.18 percent for the same period. The Lehman Brothers BBB Corporate
Bond Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index, which reflects the performance of
corporate bonds. Its returns do not include any sales charges or fees that would
be paid by an investor purchasing the securities it represents. Such costs would
lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. For
additional performance results, please refer to the chart and footnotes on page
4.

Q   WHAT WERE THE KEY DRIVERS OF
    THE FUND'S RELATIVE PERFORMANCE?

A   Our search for well-priced
companies led us in recent years to invest in the telecommunications sector. The
sector suffered significant losses during the period as several companies faced
deep financial crises. We trimmed the portfolio's exposure, but the fund still
suffered from what exposure it had.

    On a more positive note, the fund benefited from its relatively high credit
quality. We grew increasingly cautious about the state of the economy over the
period and boosted the fund's quality as a buffer against further deterioration
in the economy. We did this through the purchase of higher-quality corporates as
well as a small position in Treasuries. This strategy proved beneficial as
investors gravitated to the higher-quality exposure.

Q   WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU USE
    TO MANAGE THE FUND?

A   While we kept the portfolio's
credit quality high in case the economy continued its slump, we also started to
position the fund to benefit from a potential turnaround. We added selectively
to the fund's holdings in the financial sector in the belief that these
companies would be among the first to gain if the economy turned the corner.

    In a similar vein, we added some exposure to hotel and travel companies. As
with the financials, we believe that these companies are well positioned to
benefit from an economic recovery. They had the added attraction of being quite
cheap because of the travel industry's difficulties in the wake of September 11.

    Our analysts were also able to identify what we believed were several
attractive bonds in the health-care sector. Many of these companies had suffered
from financing difficulties, leading the market to cast the entire sector in a
poor

                                        8


light. Through careful research, we found what we believe to be solid companies
at very attractive prices.

    As mentioned, we did trim the fund's holdings in telecommunications stocks
substantially. We had purchased these issues several years ago when the sector's
prospects appeared more constructive. As the bonds' prices began to fall, we
opted to sell holdings selectively in order to capture the best available prices
for shareholders. We made several such sales during the period, so that the
fund's holdings in telecommunications were reduced to below market weightings.

Q   WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR
    THE FUND AND THE MARKETS IN THE COMING MONTHS?

A   Broadly speaking, we remain
optimistic about the credit market. Spreads continue to be relatively wide, with
the market offering some compelling values. We anticipate that the economy is
likely to grow moderately over the next 18 months. This growth should aid
corporate balance sheets, which will in turn help lower defaults.

    We also believe that the high-yield market will benefit from a structural
shift in its makeup that has occurred over the past year. One of the greatest
excesses of the late 1990s occurred when more and more lower-quality companies
were able to tap the high-yield market for financing. This wave of lower-quality
companies helped drag down the market's overall credit quality and was a major
contributor to the climbing default rates of the past two years. That trend has
reversed in the past year, as lower-quality companies have been all but shut out
of the market for new issuance. As a result, roughly 44 percent of last year's
issuance was rated BB, relative to a historical average of 29 percent. This
shift upward in quality should also help to reduce broader market default rates
back to their historical averages from recent elevated levels.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

A HELPFUL GUIDE TO SOME OF THE COMMON TERMS YOU'RE LIKELY TO SEE IN THIS REPORT
AND OTHER FINANCIAL PUBLICATIONS.

CREDIT RATING: An evaluation of a bond issuer's credit history and capability of
repaying debt obligations. Standard & Poor's Ratings Group and Moody's Investors
Service are two companies that assign credit ratings. Standard & Poor's ratings
range from a high of AAA to a low of D, while Moody's ratings range from a high
of Aaa to a low of C.

DEFAULT: The failure to make required debt payments on time.

INVESTMENT-GRADE BONDS: Generally, securities rated BBB and above by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group or Baa and above by Moody's Investors Service. Bonds rated
below BBB or Baa are noninvestment grade.

YIELD: The annual rate of return on an investment, expressed as a percentage.

YIELD CURVE: The pattern that results from viewing the yields of U.S. Treasury
securities maturing in 1, 5, 10 and 30 years. When grouped together and graphed,
a pattern of increasing yield is often reflected as the time-to-maturity
extends. This pattern creates an upward sloping "curve." A "flat" yield curve
represents little difference between short- and long-term interest rates, while
a "negative" yield curve represents decreasing yields as the time-to-maturity
extends.

YIELD SPREAD: The additional yield investors can earn by either investing in
bonds with longer maturities or by investing in bonds with lower credit ratings.
The spread is the difference in yield between bonds with short maturities and
long maturities or the difference in yield between high-quality bonds and
lower-quality bonds.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Van Kampen Bond Fund (the "Fund") is registered as a diversified, closed-end
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek interest income while
conserving capital through investing in a diversified portfolio consisting
primarily of high-quality debt securities.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. SECURITY VALUATION Fixed income investments are stated at value using market
quotations or indications of value obtained from an independent pricing service.
Investments in securities listed on a securities exchange are valued at their
sale price as of the close of such securities exchange. Listed securities and
unlisted securities for which the last sales price is not available are valued
at the mean of the bid and asked prices. For those securities where quotations
or prices are not available as noted above, valuations are determined in
accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day on the
exchange in which they are traded. Short-term securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
market value.

B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery"
basis, with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so
purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery
purchase commitments until payment is made. At June 30, 2002, there were no
when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

    The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are short-term
investments in which the Fund acquires ownership of a debt security and the
seller agrees to repurchase the security at a future time and specified price.
The Fund may invest independently in repurchase agreements, or transfer
uninvested cash

                                        24

balances into a pooled cash account along with other investment companies
advised by Van Kampen Asset Management Inc. (the "Adviser") or its affiliates,
the daily aggregate of which is invested in repurchase agreements. Repurchase
agreements are fully collateralized by the underlying debt security. The Fund
will make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of
book entry transfer to the account of the custodian bank. The seller is required
to maintain the value of the underlying security at not less than the repurchase
proceeds due the Fund.

C. INVESTMENT INCOME Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and
dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Premiums are amortized and
discounts are accreted over the expected life of each applicable security.

    As required, effective July 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the provisions of
the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies (the "Guide") and
began amortizing premium on fixed income securities. Prior to July 1, 2001, the
Fund did not amortize premiums on fixed income securities. The cumulative effect
of this accounting change had no impact on total net assets of the Fund, but
resulted in a $588,991 reduction in cost of securities and a corresponding
$588,991 increase in net unrealized appreciation based on securities held by the
Fund on July 1, 2001.

    The effect of this change for the year ended June 30, 2002 was to decrease
net investment income by $545,535; decrease net unrealized depreciation by
$91,135, and decrease net realized losses by $454,400. The Statement of Changes
in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for prior periods have not been restated
to reflect this change in presentation.

    The revised version of the Guide also requires that paydown gains and losses
on mortgage- and asset-backed securities be presented as interest income.
Previously, paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities
were shown as a component of realized gain/loss. The effect of this change for
the year ended June 30, 2002 was to decrease net investment income and decrease
net realized loss by $534.

D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

    The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which
allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the
year of the loss and offset these losses against any future realized capital
gains. At June 30,

                                        25

2002, the Fund had an accumulated capital loss carryforward for tax purposes of
$848,660, which will expire on June 30, 2009.

    At June 30, 2002, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation are as follows:

E. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS The Fund declares and pays quarterly
dividends from net investment income. Net realized gains, if any, are
distributed annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes
may include short-term capital gains and gains on futures transactions. All
short-term capital gains and a portion of futures gains are included in ordinary
income for tax purposes.

    The tax character of distributions paid during 2002 and 2001 was as follows:



                                                               2002           2001
                                                                     
Distributions paid from:
  Ordinary income.........................................  $15,283,368    $15,336,914
  Long-term capital gain..................................          -0-            -0-
                                                            -----------    -----------
                                                            $15,283,368    $15,336,914
                                                            ===========    ===========


    Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and
realized gain/losses under accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences
between book and tax basis reporting have been identified and appropriately
reclassified on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Permanent book and tax
differences relating to expenses which are not deductible for tax purposes
totaling $17,055 were reclassified from accumulated undistributed net investment
income to capital and $98 relating to the recognition of net realized gains on
paydowns of mortgage pool obligations was reclassified from accumulated net
realized loss to accumulated undistributed net investment income.

    As of June 30, 2002, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis
were as follows:


                                                             
Undistributed ordinary income...............................    $666,671
Undistributed long-term capital gain........................         -0-


                                        26


NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2002

    Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial reporting and tax
purposes primarily as a result of the deferral of losses relating to wash sale
transactions, gains or losses recognized for tax purposes on open future
transactions on June 30, 2002 and post-October losses which may not be
recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.

F. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Fund's custody
fee was reduced by $6,346 as a result of credits earned on cash balances.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND
OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Under the terms of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will
provide investment advice and facilities to the Fund for an annual fee payable
monthly as follows:



AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS                                        % PER ANNUM

approximately $11,600 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom (Illinois), counsel to the Fund, of which a trustee of the
Fund is an affiliated person.

    Under an Accounting Services agreement, the Adviser provides accounting
services to the Fund. The Adviser allocates cost of such services to each fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2002, the Fund recognized expenses of approximately
$18,200 representing Van Kampen Investments Inc.'s or its affiliates'
(collectively "Van Kampen") cost of providing accounting services to the Fund,
which are reported as part of "Other" expenses on the Statement of Operations.

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

    The Fund provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its
trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation
plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a
later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a
ten-year period and are based upon each trustee's years of service to the Fund.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments,
excluding short-term investments, were $223,751,723 and $229,056,174,
respectively.

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A derivative financial instrument in very general terms refers to a security
whose value is "derived" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate
or index.

    The Fund has a variety of reasons to use derivative instruments, such as to
attempt to protect the Fund against possible changes in the market value of its
portfolio or to generate potential gain. All of the Fund's portfolio holdings,
including derivative instruments, are marked to market each day with the change
in value reflected in the unrealized appreciation/depreciation. Upon
disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized accordingly, except when
taking delivery of a security underlying a futures contract. In this instance,
the recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security
underlying the futures contract. Risks may arise as a result of the potential
inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

    During the period, the Fund invested in futures contracts, a type of
derivative. A futures contract is an agreement involving the delivery of a
particular asset on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. The Fund
generally invests in exchange traded futures on U.S. Treasury Bonds and Notes
and typically closes the contract prior to delivery date. Upon entering into
futures contracts, the Fund maintains an amount of cash or liquid securities
with a value equal to a percentage of the contract amount with either a future
commission merchant pursuant to rules and regulations promulgated under the 1940
Act, as amended, or with its custodian in an account in the broker's name. This
amount is known as initial margin. During the period the futures contract is
open, payments are received from or made to the broker based upon changes in the
value of the contract (the variation margin). The risk of loss associated with a
futures contract is in excess of the variation margin reflected on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities.

    Transactions in futures contracts for the year ended June 30, 2002, were as
follows:



                                                                CONTRACTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Van Kampen Bond Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen Bond Fund (the "Fund"), including the portfolio of investments, as of
June 30, 2002, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then
ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period
then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits. The Fund's financial highlights for the periods ended prior to June 30,
2000, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated July 23, 1999,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of June 30, 2002, by correspondence with the Fund's
custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

    The Fund pays distributions in cash, but if you own more than 100 shares in
your own name, you may elect to participate in the Fund's dividend reinvestment
plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, shares will be issued by the Fund at net
asset value on a date determined by the Board of Trustees between the record and
payable dates on each distribution; however, if the market price including
brokerage commissions, is less than the net asset value, the amount of the
distribution will be paid to the Plan Agent, which will buy such shares as are
available at prices below the net asset value. (If the market price is not
significantly less than the net asset value, it is possible that open market
purchases of shares may increase the market price so that such price plus
brokerage commissions would equal or exceed the net asset value of such shares.)
If the Plan Agent cannot buy the necessary shares at less than net asset value
before the distribution date, the balance of the distribution will be made in
authorized but unissued shares of the Fund at net asset value. The cost per
share will be the average cost, including brokerage commissions, of all shares
purchased. Since all shares purchased from the Fund are at net asset value,
there will be no dilution, and no brokerage commissions are charged on such
shares.

    You will receive tax information annually for your personal records and to
help you prepare your federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of
dividends and capital gain distributions does not relieve you of any income tax
which may be payable (or required to be withheld) on dividends or distributions.

    You may begin or discontinue participation in the Plan at any time by
written notice to the address below. If you withdraw from the Plan, you may
rejoin at any time if you own the required 100 shares. Elections and
terminations will be effective for distributions declared after receipt. If you
withdraw from the Plan, a certificate for the whole shares and a check for the
fractional shares, if any, credited to your Plan account will be sent as soon as
practicable after receipt of your election to withdraw. Except for brokerage
commissions, if any, which are borne by Plan participants, all costs of the Plan
are borne by the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the
Plan on 30 days' written notice prior to the record date of the distribution for
which such amendment or termination is effective.

    Record stockholders should address all notices, correspondence, questions or
other communications about the Plan to:

                      STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY

                               C/O EQUISERVE LLP

                                 1-800-821-1238

    If your shares are not held directly in your name, you should contact your
brokerage firm, bank or other nominee for more information and to see if your
nominee will participate in the Plan on your behalf. If you participate through
your broker and choose to move your account to another broker, you will need to
re-enroll in the Plan through your new broker.
