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/us 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 New York Municipal Index is an unmanaged index considered representative 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.

Trust Updates

Preferred Shares

On May 10, 2012, the Trust successfully priced and placed a private offering of Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (“VMTP”) in the amount of $76,800,000 pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. VMTP is a variable rate form of preferred stock with a mandatory redemption date. The proceeds of the VMTP were used to redeem all of the Trust’s outstanding auction rate preferred shares (“ARPS”) at their liquidation preference (sometimes referred to as “at par”), together with accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the redemption date. As of June 1, 2012, all of the Trust’s ARPS were redeemed in full.

Merger, Redomestication and Upcoming Name Change

At a shareholder meeting held on August 14, 2012, shareholders of the Trust approved the merger of Invesco New York Quality Municipal Securities (the “Target Fund”) into the Trust. Shareholders also approved the redomestication of the Trust to a Delaware statutory trust. The redomestication and merger were completed on August 27, 2012, and common shares of the Target Fund were converted into newly issued common shares of the Trust. VMTP shares of the Target Fund were converted into newly issued VMTP shares of the Trust.

In addition, the Trust will change its name to “Invesco Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals” effective December 3, 2012.

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, you’ll 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 – you’ll pay either the NAV or 95 percent of the market price, whichever is greater. When the Trust trades at a premium, you’ll 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 – you’ll pay the market price for your reinvested shares.

Costs of the Plan

There is no direct charge to you for reinvesting Distributions because the Plan’s 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”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. Prior to August 27, 2012, the Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Trust’s 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. |
| --- |
| 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. 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. |

END PAGE WIDTH PAGEBREAK

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

| | 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 Trust’s 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 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 issuer’s 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 Trust’s net
asset value and, accordingly, they reduce the Trust’s 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. |
| C. | Country
Determination — 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
issuer’s 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. |
| D. | 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 Trust’s 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 Trust’s organizational documents, each Trustee,
officer, employee or other agent of the Trust is indemnified
against certain liabilities that may arise out of the
performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the
normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts,
including the Trust’s servicing agreements, that contain a
variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s 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. | 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
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
interests in the bonds. The floating rate notes issued by the
Dealer Trusts have |

END PAGE WIDTH PAGEBREAK

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

| | 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 Trust’s 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
Trust’s 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. |
| J. | Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees — Interest,
Facilities and Maintenance Fees include interest and related
borrowing costs such as commitment fees, rating and bank agent
fees and other expenses associated with lines of credit and
Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares (“VMTP
Shares”), and interest and administrative expenses related
to establishing and maintaining Auction Rate Preferred Shares
and floating rate note obligations, if any. |
| 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 Trust’s 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. |

NOTE 2—Advisory 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 of 0.55% of the Trust’s average daily managed assets. Managed assets for this purpose means the Trust’s net assets, plus assets attributable to outstanding preferred shares and the amount of any borrowings incurred for the purpose of leverage (whether or not such amounts are reflected in the Trust’s financial statements for purposes of GAAP).

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).

Effective August 27, 2012, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least August 27, 2014, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Trust’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 0.69%. Through June 30, 2012, the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Trust’s expenses (excluding certain items discussed below) to 1.02%. In determining the Adviser’s obligation to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into account, and could cause the Trust’s expenses to exceed the limit reflected above: (1) interest, facilities and maintenance fees; (2) taxes; (3) dividend expense on short sales; (4) extraordinary or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; 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 August 27, 2014.

For the six months ended August 31, 2012, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $43,101.

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, 2012, 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 3—Additional 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 investment’s 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
Trust’s 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, 2012. 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.

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Municipal Obligations	$ —	$ 488,380,903	$ —	$ 488,380,903

NOTE 4—Trustees’ 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.

During the six months ended August 31, 2012, the Trust paid legal fees of $136,763 for services rendered by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as counsel to the Trust. A trustee of the Trust is of counsel with the firm.

NOTE 5—Cash Balances and Borrowings

The Trust is permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the custodian bank. Such balances, if any at period end, are shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the payable caption Amount due custodian . 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, 2012 were $74,889,286 and 0.80%, respectively.

NOTE 6—Tax 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 Trust’s 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 Trust’s 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 Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) eliminated the eight-year carryover period for capital losses that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. Consequently, these capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses with an expiration period may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date have been utilized. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryovers will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. 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 29, 2012 which expires as follows:

| Capital
Loss Carryforward* — Expiration | Short-Term | Long-Term | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| February 28, 2015 | $ 1,658,127 | $ — | $ 1,658,127 |

| | $ 27,163,307 | $ — | $ 27,163,307 |

• Capital loss carryforward as of the date listed above is reduced for limitations, if any, to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 7—Investment Securities

The aggregate amount of investment securities (other than short-term securities, U.S. Treasury obligations and money market funds, if any) purchased and sold by the Trust during the six months ended August 31, 2012 was $22,715,615 and $12,189,873, respectively. Cost of investments on a tax basis includes the adjustments for financial reporting purposes as of the most recently completed federal income tax reporting period-end.

| Net unrealized appreciation of investment securities | $ 42,697,854 | |
| Cost of investments for tax purposes is $445,683,049. | | |

NOTE 8—Auction Rate Preferred Shares

The Trust is authorized to issue Auction Rate Preferred Shares (“ARPS”). From May 22, 2012 through June 1, 2012, the Trust redeemed all of its outstanding ARPS at their respective liquidation preference, including accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, through the redemption date. The redemptions were funded with cash and proceeds received from the issuance of VMTP Shares.

Historically, the Trust paid annual fees equivalent to 0.25% of the ARPS liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the auction. Effective March 16, 2009, the Trust decreased this amount to 0.15% due to auction failures. These fees are included as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees expense on the Statement of Operations. Dividends, which are cumulative, are reset through auction procedures.

	Range of
Series	Dividend
Rates†
A	0.107-0.381 %
B	0.033-0.232
C	0.198-0.396

† For the period March 1, 2012 through June 1, 2012.

The Trust was subject to certain restrictions relating to the ARPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could have precluded the Trust from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or purchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of ARPS at liquidation value.

Beginning February 13, 2008 and continuing through June 1, 2012, all series of ARPS of the Trust were not successfully remarketed. As a result, the dividend rates of these ARPS were reset to the maximum applicable rate.

NOTE 9—Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares

On May 9, 2012, the Trust issued 768 Series 2015/6-VTN VMTP Shares, with liquidation preference of $100,000 per share pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, the Trust issued 136 Series 2015/6-VTN VMTP Shares in connection with the reorganization of Invesco New York Quality Municipal Securities into the Trust with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. Proceeds from the issuance of VMTP Shares were used to redeem all of the Trust’s outstanding ARPS. VMTP Shares are a floating-rate form of preferred shares with a mandatory redemption date. The Trust is required to redeem all outstanding VMTP Shares on June 1, 2015, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or extended. VMTP Shares are subject to optional and mandatory redemption in certain circumstances. The redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the liquidation value per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends and a redemption premium, if any.

The Trust incurred costs in connection with the issuance of VMTP Shares. These costs were recorded as a deferred charge and will be amortized over the 3 year life of the VMTP Shares. Amortization of these costs is included in Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations and the unamortized balance is included in Deferred offering costs on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Dividends paid on the VMTP Shares (which are treated as interest expense for financial reporting purposes) are declared daily and paid monthly. The initial rate for dividends is equal to the sum of 1.10% per annum plus the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index. Subsequent rates take into account a ratings spread which is based on the long term preferred share ratings assigned to the VMTP Shares by Moody’s and Fitch. The average liquidation value outstanding and the average annualized dividend rate of the VMTP Shares during the six months ended August 31, 2012 were $78,095,238 and 1.27%, respectively.

The Trust is subject to certain restrictions, such as maintaining certain asset coverage and leverage ratio requirements relating to the VMTP 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 VMTP Shares at liquidation value.

For financial reporting purposes, the liquidation value of VMTP Shares, which is considered debt of the issuer, is recorded as a liability under the caption Variable rate muni term preferred shares on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Unpaid dividends on VMTP Shares are recognized as Accrued interest expense on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends paid on VMTP Shares are recognized as a component of Interest, facilities and maintenance fees on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 14—Legal Proceedings

Terms used in the Legal Proceedings Note are defined terms solely for the purpose of this note.

Pending Litigation and Regulatory Inquiries

The Trust received a shareholder demand letter dated March 25, 2011 alleging that the Adviser and certain individuals breached their fiduciary duties and wasted Trust assets by causing the Trust to redeem Auction Rate Preferred Securities (ARPS) at their par value at the expense of the Trust and common shareholders. The shareholder claimed that the Trust was not obliged to provide liquidity to preferred shareholders, the redemptions were improperly motivated to benefit the Adviser, and the market value and fair value of the ARPS were less than par at the time they were redeemed. The shareholder demands that: 1) the Board take action against the Adviser and individuals to recover damages and 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. 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 publicly announced on June 24, 2011, that it had adopted the SLC’s recommendation and voted to reject the demands.

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.

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 Ltd., 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 15, 2012, 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 Fund’s investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory contracts for another year. In doing so, the Board considered the process that it follows in reviewing and approving the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts and the information that it is provided. The Board determined that the Fund’s 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 Board’s 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. The Board also considered materials it had received in approving the proposed reorganization of a closed-end fund advised by Invesco Advisers into the Fund.

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 Fund’s 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, including the Fund, reflect the results of years of review and negotiation between the Trustees and Invesco Advisers and previously 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 Board’s evaluation with respect to the Fund’s investment advisory agreement as well as a discussion of the material factors and related conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory contracts. Unless otherwise stated, this information is current as of May 15, 2012, and may not reflect consideration of factors that became known to the Board after that date, including, for example, changes to the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s portfolio managers, the Board concluded that these individuals are competent and able to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Fund’s investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory contracts, as applicable. The Board’s review of the qualifications of Invesco Advisers to provide advisory services included the Board’s consideration of Invesco Advisers’ performance and investment process oversight, independent credit analysis and investment risk management.

In determining whether to continue the Fund’s 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 Board’s 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, including the Fund, 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 Fund’s investment advisory agreement.

The Board reviewed the services capable of being 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 would provide such 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, from time to time as necessary and appropriate, in managing the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services capable of being provided by the Affiliated Sub-Advisers are appropriate and satisfactory and in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s sub-advisory contracts.

B. Fund Performance

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 Fund’s performance during the past one, two, three, five and ten calendar years to the performance of funds in the Fund’s Lipper performance universe and against the applicable Lipper index. The Board noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile of its performance universe for the one, two and three year periods and the fourth quintile for the five and ten year periods (the first quintile being the best performing funds and the fifth quintile being the worst performing funds). When considering a fund’s performance, the Board places emphasis on trends and longer term returns.

C. Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees and Fee Waivers

The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate to the contractual advisory fee rates of funds in the Fund’s Lipper expense group at a common asset level. The Board noted that the Fund’s 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 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

XBRL Paragraph Pagebreak XBRL Pagebreak Begin

22 Invesco Van Kampen Trust for Investment Grade New York Municipals

END PAGE WIDTH PAGEBREAK

BEGIN PAGE WIDTH XBRL Pagebreak End

as of varying dates, which may affect the comparability of data during times of market volatility.

The Board also considered the Fund’s effective fee rate (the advisory fee after advisory fee waivers and before expense limitations/waivers), including comparisons, as applicable, to advisory fee rates of other funds advised by Invesco Advisers and its affiliates with investment strategies similar 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 Fund’s overall expense ratio.

The Board compared the strategy of the Fund to that of other client accounts of Invesco Advisers and the Affiliated Sub-Advisers and considered, as applicable, the fees charged to other client accounts with investment strategies similar 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 than to registered fund clients, such as the Fund. Invesco Advisers reviewed with the Board the significantly greater scope of services it provides to registered fund clients, including the Fund, 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 Fund’s 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 registered fund clients 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 did 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 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, and the discontinuation of this fee waiver on June 30, 2012, would have on the Fund’s total estimated expenses. The Board also considered that in the event the proposed reorganization is consummated, Invesco Advisers has contractually agreed, for at least two years from the closing date of the reorganization, to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount necessary to limit total annual operating expenses to a specified percentage of average daily net assets of the Fund.

The Board also considered the services capable of being 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 to the extent the Fund were to utilize the Affiliated Sub-Advisers, Invesco Advisers would provide services related to 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 Fund’s 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 registered fund 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 Fund. 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 Fund’s 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 Fund. 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 Fund’s investment in the affiliated money market funds of uninvested cash, but not cash collateral. The Board concluded that the Fund’s 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.
