Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

The first half of 2006 was characterized by increased volatility in most markets. U.S. and foreign stocks, as well as bonds were all impacted by higher oil prices, unrest in the Middle East, and uncertainty over growth rates and inflation. Times like these challenge investors to remove emotion from decisions and stay the course with their long-term investment plans.

At Managers, regardless of market conditions, we maintain a focus on providing investors with excellent, trusted, and rigorously monitored investment solutions across all major market segments and styles. We encourage our portfolio managers to take a long term view and to invest with a long term horizon. We strive to stay on course even when market volatility causes concern.

Our overriding goal is to hire fund managers that can effectively manage your assets in all types of market conditions. Toward this goal we maintain a team of skilled investment professionals focused solely on understanding the global capital markets and overseeing the managers in our Funds. We hire fund portfolio managers who excel over time, have a strong investment discipline and stick to it. Our investment team oversees the Funds’ managers and portfolios every day so you don’t have to. Once you have selected Managers Funds as part of your asset allocation, you can be assured that we are monitoring that investment every day to help ensure it is delivering on its investment mandate.

We believe we have hired some of the best managers in the market to help our investors navigate complex and volatile markets.

We believe we have hired some of the best managers in the market to help our investors navigate complex and volatile markets. An example is Dan Fuss of Loomis Sayles (Managers Bond Fund) and Bill Gross of PIMCO (Managers Fremont Bond Fund) who have both helped our investors deal with changing market conditions for years. Recently, and for differing reasons, both managers came to the conclusion that the Federal Reserve Board would stop raising short term rates and extended the maturities of their portfolio holdings. These managers made reasoned judgments on the market based on their investment philosophies and backed up by extensive research. Their well thought out and executed investment management strategies let you the investor have confidence that your assets are being managed prudently and proactively.

At Managers we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your long term investment plan. You can rest assured that under all market conditions our team is focused on delivering you excellent investment management services.

 

Respectfully,

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These Funds incur only ongoing costs. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses. All returns are in U.S. dollars($).
2 Fund for which, from time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns.
3 Fixed-income funds are subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk, fluctuations in debtor’s perceived ability to pay its creditors. Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of an investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed-income securities to fall.
4 The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in small capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history and a reliance on one or a limited number of products.
5 Investments in foreign securities are subject to additional risks such as changing market conditions, economic and political instability, and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
6 The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in emerging markets, such as erratic earnings patterns, economic and political instability, changing exchange controls, limitations on repatriation of foreign capital and changes in local governmental attitudes toward private investment, possibly leading to nationalization or confiscation of investor assets.
7 The Fund is subject to risks associated with investing in a concentrated fund, and the value of the portfolio will be greatly affected by the fluctuations in the value of a single stock.
8 Investments in international securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions, which could result in significant market fluctuations. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Managers Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust is comprised of a number of investment series. Included in this report are the Managers Value Fund (“Value”), Managers Capital Appreciation Fund (“Capital Appreciation”), Managers Small Company Fund (“Small Company”), Managers International Equity Fund (“International Equity”), Managers Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Emerging Markets Equity”), Managers Bond Fund (“Bond”) and Managers Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond”), collectively the “Funds.”

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:

 

a. Valuation of Investments

Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, if one is available. Lacking any sales, over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted bid price. Under certain circumstances, the value of a Fund investment may be based on an evaluation of its fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. A Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) where a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over an extended period of time (often referred to as a “stale price”), or (5) the Investment Manager determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. The Investment Manager monitors intervening events that may affect the value of securities held in each Fund’s portfolio and, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds’ Trustees, will adjust the prices of securities traded in foreign markets, as appropriate, to reflect the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time each Fund’s NAV is calculated. Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share except iShares or other ETF’s, which are valued the same as equity securities. Securities (including derivatives) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith, and pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

Investments in certain mortgage-backed, stripped mortgage-backed, preferred stocks, convertible securities and other debt securities not traded on an organized market, are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities, various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value.

 

b. Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

 

c. Investment Income and Expenses

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.

The following Funds had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers who paid a portion of such Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, under these arrangements the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios were as follows: Value -$13,515 or 0.03%; Capital Appreciation -$17,146 or 0.04%; Small Company - $7,410 or 0.04% and International Equity -$31,784 or 0.03%.

In addition, each of the Funds has a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 1% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the custodian expense was reduced as follows: International Equity - $418; and Global Bond - $100.

Overdrafts will cause a reduction of any earnings credits, computed at 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, overdraft fees for International Equity and Global Bond equaled $6,988 and $135, respectively. Managers Investment Group LLC (formerly The Managers Funds LLC) (the “Investment Manager”), a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”) and the Investment

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Manager for the Funds, has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2007, to waive fees and pay or reimburse expenses of Small Company, Bond and Global Bond to the extent that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund exceed 1.45%, 0.99% and 1.19%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Investment Manager has also contractually agreed to waive fees on Value, Capital Appreciation, International Equity and Emerging Markets Equity to the extent that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund exceed 1.19%, 1.29%, 1.55% and 1.79%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets, provided that the amount of fees waived, paid or reimbursed does not exceed 0.25% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Each Fund may be obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within three (3) years after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s expenses in any such year to exceed the previously stated percentages of that Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the following Funds made such repayments to the Investment Manager in the following amounts: Value - $3,048; Capital Appreciation - $2,119; Small Company - $5,850; and Emerging Markets Equity - $1,481. At June 30, 2006, the cumulative amount of reimbursement by the Manager subject to repayment by Value, Capital Appreciation, Small Company, Bond and Global Bond equaled $101,759, $42,968, $4,699, $421,314 and $103,706, respectively.

Total returns and net investment income for the Funds would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset.

 

d. Dividends and Distributions

Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared and paid annually for Global Bond and the Equity Funds. Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared and paid monthly for Bond. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be made on an annual basis and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.

 

e. Federal Taxes

Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

 

f. Capital Loss Carryovers

As of June 30, 2006, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed.

 

Fund

   Capital Loss
Carryover Amount
   Expires
December 31,

Capital Appreciation

   $ 111,767,513    2009
     30,988,593    2010
     12,899,489    2011

Small Company

     4,928,358    2009
     1,700,278    2010

International Equity

     84,638,277    2010
     16,171,901    2011

 

g. Capital Stock

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. At June 30, 2006, certain unaffiliated shareholders, specifically omnibus accounts, individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following Funds: Value - one owns 23%; Capital Appreciation - one owns 14%; International Equity - two collectively own 42%; Emerging Markets Equity - two collectively own 55%; Bond - one owns 17%.

 

h. Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will be equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

 

i. Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.

 

46


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

In addition, the Funds do not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations resulting from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

 

2. Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which the Investment Manager provides or oversees investment management services to the Funds. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for each Fund (subject to Trustee approval), allocates assets among subadvisors and monitors the subadvisors’ investment programs and results. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by portfolio managers who serve pursuant to Subadvisory Agreements with the Investment Manager.

Investment management fees are paid directly by each Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. The annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were as follows:

 

Fund

   Investment
Management Fee
 

Value

   0.75 %

Capital Appreciation

   0.80 %

Small Company

   0.90 %

International Equity

   0.90 %

Emerging Markets Equity

   1.15 %

Bond

   0.625 %

Global Bond

   0.70 %

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement (“Administration Agreement”) under which Managers Investment Group LLC serves as each Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund, its shareholders, and certain institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds’ shareholders. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, each of the Funds, except Global Bond, pay a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Global Bond pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Prior to July 1, 2005, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee was $52,000, plus $2,000 for each meeting attended. Effective July 1, 2005, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $55,000, plus $4,000 or $2,000 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which Managers Investment Group LLC serves as the Investment Manager (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trust receives an additional payment of $10,000 per year. (Prior to July 1, 2005, the Independent Chairman was paid an additional $5,000 per year). Effective July 1, 2005, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional $2,000 per year. The “Trustee fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represent each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds.

The Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Managers Investment Group LLC. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor. The Distributor serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund. The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold by brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. The Distributor bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature.

4. Portfolio Securities Loaned

The Funds may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNY providing for the lending of equities, corporate bonds and government securities to qualified brokers. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in institutional money market funds or other short-term investments by BNY. Earnings of such temporary cash investments are divided between BNY, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund loaning the security, according to agreed-upon rates.

 

5. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risks of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has recently issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the “Interpretation”), which applies to all registered investment companies and clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. The Interpretation is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has not yet completed their analysis of the Interpretation, and is not currently in a position to estimate the significance, if any, that the impact of adoption will have on the financial statements.

 

6. Risks Associated with Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”)

The net asset value of Funds may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations because the Funds may hold several instruments, including CMOs and other derivatives, whose values can be significantly impacted by interest rate movements. CMOs are obligations collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-related securities. Payments of principal and interest on the mortgage are passed through to the holder of the CMOs on the same schedule as they are received, although certain classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of prepayments on the mortgages.

Therefore, the investment in CMOs may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other types of mortgage-related securities. CMOs may have a fixed or variable rate of interest.

 

7. Forward Commitments

Certain transactions, such as futures and forward transactions, dollar roll agreements, or purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. However, if a Fund enters into such a transaction, the Fund will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it will maintain cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid securities equal in value to its obligations in respect to such transaction. Securities and other assets held in the segregated account may not be sold while the transaction is outstanding, unless other suitable assets are substituted.

 

8. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Bond and Global Bond invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency exposure. These investments may involve greater market risk than the amounts disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between a Fund and another party to buy or sell a currency at a set price at a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily, and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gain or loss on the purchase or sale of contracts having the same settlement date, amount and counter party is realized on the date of offset, otherwise gain or loss is realized on settlement date.

The Funds, except Value, Capital Appreciation, and Small Company, may invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated instruments subject to limitations, and enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to protect against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currency. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

9. Futures Contracts Held or Issued for Purposes other than Trading

International Equity uses Equity Index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objective of maintaining exposure to equity stock markets while maintaining liquidity. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital shares transactions. There are certain risks associated with futures contracts. Prices may not move as expected or a Fund may not be able to close out the contract when it desires to do so, resulting in losses.

Futures are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures or forward currency contracts. International Equity had the following open futures contracts as of June 30, 2006:

MANAGERS VALUE FUND, MANAGERS BOND FUND,

MANAGERS EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND, MANAGERS

SMALL COMPANY FUND, MANAGERS GLOBAL BOND FUND,

MANAGERS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND:

On June 2, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for each of the Funds identified below and the Subadvisory Agreement for each of the Subadvisors. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each, a “Peer Group”), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each, a “Fund Benchmark”) and other information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors under their respective agreements. The Trustees also took into account performance, fee and expense information regarding each Fund provided to them on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

Nature, extent and quality of services.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ familiarity with the Investment Manager’s management through Board meetings, discussions and reports. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisors; (b) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise each of the Fund’s other service providers; and (c) the Investment Manager’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds.

For each Fund, the Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (for each Subadvisor, its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the Fund or the portion of the Fund for which the Subadvisor has portfolio management responsibility. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding each Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and each Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individual or individuals at each Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadvisor, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. With respect to those Funds managed with multiple Subadvisors, the Trustees also noted information provided by the Investment Manager regarding the manner in which each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy complements those utilized by the Fund’s other Subadvisors. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by each Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement.

Performance.

As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and Investment Strategies, including with respect to the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadvisor. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board also noted each Subadvisor’s performance record with respect to the Fund. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s focus on each Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Fund and the explanations of management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Fund.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement with Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (“Epoch”), which became a Subadvisor to the Small Company Fund on March 8, 2006, the Trustees, at its March 3, 2006 meeting, reviewed information related to the prior investment performance of Epoch’s portfolio management team in managing client accounts with similar investment objectives as that of the Managers Small Company Fund, including information about such performance as compared to appropriate benchmarks.

Advisory Fees and Profitability.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Funds’ Subadvisors and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the reasonable cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the reasonable cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists mostly of funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also reviewed information

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the Managers Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current and potential asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for certain of the Funds from time to time as a means of limiting the total expenses of the smaller Funds. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike the typical mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in a manager-of-managers structure and, as a Fund grows in size, it is common practice for the Investment Manager to recommend the selection of an additional Subadvisor to manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Trustees further noted that, because of this practice, the Investment Manager’s oversight and supervisory responsibilities with respect to the Funds can be expected to increase with the size of the Funds. On this basis, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for the Funds at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

Subadvisory Fees and Profitability.

In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to each Subadvisor, the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Subadvisors are not affiliated with the Investment Manager. In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. Accordingly, the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each Subadvisor of its relationship with the Funds were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, and based on the current size of the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadvisor, the Trustees concluded that any economies of scale being realized by the Subadvisors was not a material factor in the Trustees’ deliberations at this time.

In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund.

MANAGERS VALUE FUND

Fund Performance.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2006 was below, above, below and below, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, above, above and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, which is the S&P 500 Index.

The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors, the Fund’s performance, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisors and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

MANAGERS BOND FUND

Fund Performance.

The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been reasonable in light of all factors considered. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had taken action in March 2006 to add Epoch as a Subadvisor to manage a portion of the Fund.

Advisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2006 were higher than the average for the Peer Group and that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed through May 1, 2007 to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.45%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

MANAGERS GLOBAL BOND FUND

The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.

Advisory Fees.

MANAGERS INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND

Fund Performance.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2006 was above, below, below and below, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, which is the MSCI EAFE Index. The Trustees noted the favorable recent performance of the Fund. In addition, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had taken action to replace Subadvisors for the Fund in 2002, 2003 and 2004 to improve the performance of the Fund.

Advisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2006 were higher than the average for the Peer Group and that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed through May 1, 2007 to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.55%, provided that the amount waived may not exceed 0.25%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors, the Fund’s performance, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisors and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

*    *    *    *

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement, in addition to those conclusions discussed above: (a) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and the applicable Subadvisory Agreements; (b) each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Fund’s investment objectives; (c) each Subadvisor is reasonably likely to execute its Investment Strategy consistently over time; and (d) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.

Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of each Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 2, 2006 the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements for each of the Fund’s Subadvisors.

MANAGERS CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

On June 2, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for the Managers Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) and the Subadvisory Agreement with the Fund’s Subadvisor. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (the “Peer Group”), performance information for the relevant benchmark index (the “Fund Benchmark”) and other information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor under their respective agreements.

legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

Nature, extent and quality of services.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Fund and the Trustees’ familiarity with the Investment Manager’s management through Board meetings, discussions and reports. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the performance by the Subadvisor of its portfolio management duties; (b) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Fund’s other service providers; and (c) the Investment Manager’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to implement an expense limitation for the Fund.

The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisor’s financial condition, operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding the Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individual at the Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the Fund, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement.

The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the reasons for the Fund’s performance, including that the market environment in certain years has been particularly difficult in light of the Fund’s focus on growth companies. In addition, the Trustees noted that (1) the Fund’s recent and long-term performance has been satisfactory, (2) the Fund’s Subadvisor has recently made changes in investment personnel and approach, in an effort to enhance the Fund’s performance, and (3) the Manager in early 2006 determined not to renew the engagement of a former subadvisor to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that appropriate action is being taken to address the Fund’s performance.

As noted above, the Board considered the Fund’s performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both the Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition as well as the Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of the Subadvisor.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager and the subadvisory fee payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadvisor, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing the Fund and all the mutual funds in the Managers Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor are affiliated and that the Investment Manager pays the subadvisory fee out of the advisory fee that it receives from the Fund. The Trustees also noted the current asset level of the Fund and the impact on profitability of any future growth of assets of the Fund.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted the current asset level of the Fund and the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund. On this basis, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for the Fund at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor under the Subadvisory Agreement and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted the current asset level of the Fund and the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund. As a consequence, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale in the management of the Fund by the Subadvisor to be a material factor in their considerations at this time.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2006 were higher than the average for the Peer Group and that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed through May 1, 2007 to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.29%, provided that the amount waived may not exceed 0.25%. The Trustees

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

*    *    *

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements in addition to the conclusions discussed above: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under the Investment Management Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor has the resources to perform its duties under the Subadvisory Agreement and is qualified to manage the Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the Investment Manager and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.

Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements would be in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 2, 2006 the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements for the Fund.

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

The first half of 2006 was characterized by increased volatility in most markets. U.S. and foreign stocks, as well as bonds were all impacted by higher oil prices, unrest in the Middle East, and uncertainty over growth rates and inflation. Times like these challenge investors to remove emotion from decisions and stay the course with their long-term investment plans.

At Managers, regardless of market conditions, we maintain a focus on providing investors with excellent, trusted, and rigorously monitored investment solutions across all major market segments and styles. We encourage our portfolio managers to take a long term view and to invest with a long term horizon. We strive to stay on course even when market volatility causes concern.

Our overriding goal is to hire fund managers that can effectively manage your assets in all types of market conditions. Toward this goal we maintain a team of skilled investment professionals focused solely on understanding the global capital markets and overseeing the managers in our Funds. We hire fund portfolio managers who excel over time, have a strong investment discipline and stick to it. Our investment team oversees the Funds’ managers and portfolios every day so you don’t have to. Once you have selected Managers Funds as part of your asset allocation, you can be assured that we are monitoring that investment every day to help ensure it is delivering on its investment mandate.

We believe we have hired some of the best managers in the market to help our investors navigate complex and volatile markets.

We believe we have hired some of the best managers in the market to help our investors navigate complex and volatile markets. An example is Dan Fuss of Loomis Sayles (Managers Bond Fund) and Bill Gross of PIMCO (Managers Fremont Bond Fund) who have both helped our investors deal with changing market conditions for years. Recently, and for differing reasons, both managers came to the conclusion that the Federal Reserve Board would stop raising short term rates and extended the maturities of their portfolio holdings. These managers made reasoned judgments on the market based on their investment philosophies and backed up by extensive research. Their well thought out and executed investment management strategies let you the investor have confidence that your assets are being managed prudently and proactively.

At Managers we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your long term investment plan. You can rest assured that under all market conditions our team is focused on delivering you excellent investment management services.

 

Respectfully,

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-l) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Fund incurs only ongoing costs. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any trans-actional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1 Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses. All returns are in U.S. dollars($).
2 From time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns.

Managers Special Equity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2006 (unaudited)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Managers Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust is comprised of a number of investment series. Included in this report is the Managers Special Equity Fund (the “Fund”).

Special Equity offers both Managers Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Institutional Class shares, which are designed primarily for institutional investors that meet certain administrative and servicing criteria, have a minimum investment of $2,500,000. Managers Class shares are offered to all other investors. Each class represents interest in the same assets of Special Equity and the classes are identical except for class specific expenses related to shareholder activity. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of Special Equity, and certain Fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of Special Equity. Both classes have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its services and/or distribution plan.

The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

 

a. Valuation of Investments

Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, if one is available. Lacking any sales, over-the-counter securities, are valued at the last quoted bid price. The Fund’s investments are generally valued based on market quotations by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Under certain circumstances, the value of a Fund investment may be based on an evaluation of its fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) where a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over a period of time (often referred to as a “stale price”), or (5) the Investment Manager determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. The Investment Manager monitors intervening events that may affect the value of securities held in the Fund’s portfolio and, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Trustees, will adjust the prices of securities traded in foreign markets, as appropriate, to reflect the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time each Fund’s NAV is calculated. Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share except iShares or other ETF’s, which are valued the same as equity securities. Securities (including derivatives) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith, and pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

Investments in certain securities such as preferred stocks are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities, and various relationships between securities in determining value.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.

 

b. Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

 

c. Investment Income and Expenses

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.

The Fund had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers who paid a portion of the Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, under these arrangements the amount by which the Fund’s expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios was as follows: $915,070 or 0.03%.

The Fund has a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York (“BNY”), the Fund’s custodian, whereby the Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 1% below the effective 90-

day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. This credit serves to reduce the custody expense that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the custodian expense was reduced $6,175 under this arrangement.

Managers Investment Group LLC (formerly The Managers Funds LLC) (the “Investment Manager”) had agreed to waive a portion of its fee or reimburse expenses of Special Equity commensurate with the reduction in the fee paid to Essex Investment Management Company LLC (“Essex”) (subadvisor to Special Equity from December 19, 2003 to January 17, 2005), which was 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the portion of the Fund managed by Essex in excess of $100 million. From January 1, 2005 to January 17, 2005 the amount waived equaled $28,665. On January 18, 2005, Essex was replaced with Veredus Asset Management, and the Investment Manager discontinued waiving a portion of its fee.

Total returns and net investment income for the Fund would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset.

 

d. Dividends and Distributions

Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared and paid annually. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be made on an annual basis and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.

 

e. Federal Taxes

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.

 

f. Capital Loss Carryovers

As of June 30, 2006, the Fund had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryover from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes.

 

g. Capital Stock

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

At June 30, 2006, certain unaffiliated shareholders, specifically omnibus accounts, individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund: Special Equity Managers Class shares – three collectively own 47%; Special Equity Institutional Class shares – three collectively own 35%.

 

2. Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which the Investment Manager provides or oversees investment management services to the Fund. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for the Fund (subject to Trustee approval), allocates assets among subadvisors and monitors the subadvisor’s investment programs and results. The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by portfolio managers who serve pursuant to Subadvisory Agreements with the Investment Manager. Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager at the rate of 0.90% per annum.

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which Managers Investment Group LLC serves as the Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Fund’s operations, including administration and shareholder services to the Fund, its shareholders, and certain institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Fund’s shareholders. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for this service.

Prior to July 1, 2005, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee was $52,000, plus $2,000 for each meeting attended. Effective July 1, 2005, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $55,000, plus $4,000 or $2,000 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which Managers Investment Group LLC serves as the Investment Manager based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trust receives an additional payment of $10,000 per year. (Prior to July 1, 2005, the Independent Chairman was paid an additional $5,000 per year). Effective July 1, 2005, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional $2,000 per year. The “Trustee fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represent the Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds.

The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (“MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Managers Investment Group LLC. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or MDI. Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the principal underwriter for the Fund. The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). Shares of the Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold by brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. The Distributor bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature.

 

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $1,134,345,756 and $1,472,937,764, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

4. Portfolio Securities Loaned

The Fund may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNY providing for the lending of equities, corporate bonds and government securities to qualified brokers. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in institutional money market funds or other short-term investments by BNY. Securities lending fees include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNY, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund according to agreed-upon rates.

 

5. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risks of loss to be remote.

 

6. Transactions with Affiliated Companies

An affiliated company is a company that is directly or indirectly controlled by a related party or a company in which a fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2006, with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)

On June 2, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for the Managers Special Equity Fund (the “Fund”) and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Subadvisor of the Fund. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the Fund, the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (the “Peer Group”), performance information for the relevant benchmark index (the “Fund Benchmark”) and other information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors under their respective agreements. The Trustees also took into account performance, fee and expense information regarding the Fund provided to them on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

Nature, extent and quality of services.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Fund and the Trustees’ familiarity with the Investment Manager’s management through Board meetings, discussions and reports. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisors; (b) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Fund’s other service providers; and (c) the Investment Manager’s compliance programs. With respect to the Fund’s investment in exchange-traded funds as a means to equitize the cash reserves of the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager’s cash management services are in addition to and different from the services provided by the investment advisor to the exchange-traded funds in which the Fund invests. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement.

The Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (for each Subadvisor, its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the portion of the Fund for which the Subadvisor has portfolio management responsibility. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding each Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and each Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individual or individuals at each Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadvisor, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. The Trustees also noted information provided by the Investment Manager regarding the manner in which each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy complements those utilized by the Fund’s other Subadvisors. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of each Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under its Subadvisory Agreement.

Performance.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2006 was below, below, below and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and the Fund Benchmark, which is the Russell 2000 Index. The Trustees also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s growth bias and the market environment during relevant time periods. Furthermore, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager had taken action in the first half of 2006 to allow for active management of the Fund’s cash reserves to maintain exposure to the equity markets and to facilitate the addition of a new Subadvisor. The Trustees also took into account the Investment Strategies of the Fund’s Subadvisors relative to the investment strategies of the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable in light of all factors considered. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager will continue to monitor the performance of the Subadvisors.

As noted above, the Board considered the Fund’s performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and Investment Strategies, including with respect to the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadvisor. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board also noted each Subadvisor’s performance record with respect to the Fund. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s focus on each Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Fund and the explanations of management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Fund.

In the case of Smith Group Asset Management, L.P., (“Smith Group”), which became a Subadvisor to the Fund in May 2006, the Trustees, at a meeting held on May 20, 2006, reviewed Smith Group’s performance in employing its Investment Strategy by reviewing performance information for other investment accounts managed by Smith Group consistent with the Investment Strategy. In their review of this performance, the Trustees noted that the performance of a composite investment portfolio managed by Smith Group compared favorably to the Russell 2000 Index for various periods.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

Advisory Fees and Profitability.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Fund’s Subadvisors and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the reasonable cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the reasonable cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by the Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists mostly of funds that do not operate with a manager - of - managers structure. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses as of March 31, 2006 were higher and lower respectively, than the average, for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors, the Fund’s performance, and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisors and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing the Fund and all the mutual funds in the Managers Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current asset level of the Fund and the impact on profitability of any future growth of assets of the Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager has recommended the appointment of additional Subadvisors in response to material increases in the assets of the Fund, that the Fund currently has six Subadvisors, each managing a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, and that the Investment Manager’s oversight and supervisory responsibilities with respect to the Fund have increased with the size of the Fund and the number of Subadvisors. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. On this basis, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for the Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

Subadvisory Fees and Profitability.

In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to each Subadvisor (other than Skyline Asset Management, L.P. (“Skyline”), which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with these Subadvisors (other than Skyline). In considering the fee payable by the Investment Manager to Smith Group, the Trustees noted that the fees payable to Smith Group are identical to those paid to other Subadvisors to the Fund. In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. Accordingly, the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to each unaffiliated Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, and based on the current size of the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadvisor, the Trustees concluded that the effect of any economies of scale being realized by the Subadvisors was not a material factor in the Trustees’ deliberations at this time.

In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to Skyline, the Trustees noted that Skyline is an affiliate of the Investment Manager and reviewed information regarding the cost to Skyline of providing subadvisory services to the Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustees also noted that the fee payable by the Investment Manager to Skyline under its Subadvisory Agreement is identical to the fee payable to each of the other Subadvisors of the Fund, none of which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by the Investment Manager out of the advisory fee. On this basis, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to Skyline is reasonable and that Skyline is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for the Fund at this time.

*    *    *    *    *

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with each of the Subadvisors, in addition to those conclusions discussed above: (a) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and the applicable Subadvisory Agreements; (b) each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the Fund’s investment objectives; (c) each Subadvisor is reasonably likely to execute its Investment Strategy consistently over time; and (d) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.

Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 2, 2006 the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for each of the Fund’s Subadvisors.
