About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of a 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. 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 $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 following table 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 following table 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.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information through the most recent month end, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com.

In choosing a Fund, investors should carefully consider the amount they plan to invest, their investment objectives, the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or visit www.managersinvest. com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.

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 and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2009. 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

The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium capitalization companies) when stocks of large capitalization companies are out of favor. The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Growth stocks may underperform value stocks during given periods.

 

4

Investments in foreign securities are subject to additional risks such as changing market conditions, economic and political instability, and currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund is subject to currency risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates that may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. Dollar security when converted back to U.S. Dollars.

 

5

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. The Fund is also subject to currency risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates that may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. Dollar security when converted back to U.S. Dollars.

 

6

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. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtor’s ability to pay its creditors.

 

7

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 different funds. Included in this report are the Managers AMG Essex Large Cap Growth Fund (“Essex Large Cap Growth”), Managers International Equity Fund (“International Equity”), Managers Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“Emerging Markets Equity”), Managers Money Market Fund (“Money Market”) and Managers Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond”), collectively the “Funds.”

Money Market invests all of its investable assets in the Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund (the “Portfolio”), a separate registered open-end management investment company with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The Portfolio is a series of the JPMorgan Trust II, a business trust organized under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The investment manager of the Portfolio is JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. (“JPMIA”). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio.

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 amounts 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. 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 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 Funds’ investments are generally valued based on market quotations provided by third party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. Under certain circumstances, the value of a specific 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. 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 has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) 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) Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”) determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets, as adjusted to reflect the Investment Manager’s determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager relies upon recommendations of a third-party fair valuation service in adjusting the prices of such foreign portfolio investments. The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to adjust prices when thinly traded securities are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. An investment’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value according to the Fund’s fair value procedures.

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. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end 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. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities 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 and various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value. 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.

Money Market’s investment in the Portfolio is valued daily at its end of day net asset value per share. The Portfolio’s underlying investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

In April 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”) was issued and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. Additionally, FSP FAS 157-4 requires quantitative disclosures about fair value measurements separately for each major category of assets and liabilities.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the instrument.

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. The fair values of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2009 for International Equity and Global Bond were as follows:

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. As a shareholder of the Portfolio, the Money Market Fund receives its proportionate share of the dividends paid by such class, which takes into consideration the Fund’s proportionate share of net investment income and expenses of such class. 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, 2009, under these arrangements the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios were as follows: Essex Large Cap Growth - $5,224 or 0.03% and International Equity - $1,882 or 0.00%.

The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) (formerly The Bank of New York), the Fund’s custodian, whereby the Funds are credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the custodian expense was not reduced.

The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (formerly PFPC, Inc.), whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Funds’ portion of the transfer agent expense was reduced under this arrangement as follows: Essex Large Cap Growth - $80; International Equity - $332; Emerging Markets Equity - $178; Global Bond - $122 and Money Market - $246.

Overdrafts will cause a reduction of any earnings credits, computed at 2% above the Federal funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, overdraft fees were as follows: International Equity – $78 or 0.00%, Emerging Markets Equity - $5,775 or 0.01% and Global Bond Fund - $227 or 0.00% .

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management or administrative fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Funds have made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund- Capital Share Class. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Money Market’s administrative fee was reduced by $20,687.

Total returns and net investment income for the Funds would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset. Total expenses before offsets exclude the impact of expense reimbursements or fee waivers and expense reductions such as brokerage recapture credits but include non-reimbursable expenses, if any, such as interest and taxes.

 

d. Dividends and Distributions

Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared and paid annually for all Funds except Money Market.

 

35


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared daily and paid monthly for Money Market. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be made annually in December 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, REITS, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency, options, futures 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 their taxable income and gains to their 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 each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005-2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

f. Capital Loss Carryovers

As of June 30, 2009, 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.

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, for each fund. 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, 2009, certain unaffiliated shareholders, specifically omnibus accounts, individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following Funds: Essex Large Cap Growth – one owns 12%; International Equity – one owns 18% and Emerging Markets Equity – two collectively own 47%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Funds.

 

h. 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.

The Funds do not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations 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

For each of the Funds other than Money Market, the Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which the Investment Manager, an independently managed subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for the Funds (subject to Trustee approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment programs and results. The Funds’ investment portfolio is managed by portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement with the Investment Manager.

Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:

 

Fund

   Investment
Management Fee
 

Essex Large Cap Growth

   0.80

International Equity

   0.90

Emerging Markets Equity

   1.15

Global Bond

   0.70

The Investment Manager of Global Bond has agreed to contractually waive a portion of its management fee for the Fund until at least March 1, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the amount waived was $21,004 or 0.10% .

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as each Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for all

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 and Money Market, pay a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Funds’ average daily net assets. Global Bond and Money Market pay a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20% and 0.15%, respectively, per annum of the Funds’ average daily net assets.

The Investment Manager for the Funds has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2010, subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances, that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage costs, acquired fund expenses and extraordinary expenses) will be limited to the following amounts of the Funds’ average daily net assets: International Equity – 1.48%; Emerging Markets Equity – 1.77%; and Global Bond - 1.10% . The Investment Manager has also contractually agreed, subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances, that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage costs, acquired fund expenses and extraordinary expenses) on Essex Large Cap Growth, will be limited to 1.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, provided that the amount of fees waived, paid or reimbursed does not exceed 0.25% per annum. This amount for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $14,775 or 0.11% annualized. Prior to January 1, 2008, the expense limitations for International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, and Global Bond were 1.55%, 1.79%, and 1.19%, respectively.

Each Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement occurs and that such repayment would not cause the Funds’ total operating expenses in any such future year to exceed that Funds’ respective expense cap. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Funds made no such repayments to the Investment Manager. At June 30, 2009, the cumulative amount of reimbursement by the Investment Manager subject to repayment by Essex Large Cap, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and Global Bond equaled $170,262, $522,078, $461,743 and $67,833, respectively.

The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $65,000, plus $4,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $5,000 per year. The “Trustee fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents 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” or “MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund in the Trust. MDI is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). 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. MDI bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

 

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, for Essex Large Cap Growth were $11,459,923 and $30,153,333; International Equity were $82,435,869 and $104,709,449; Emerging Markets Equity were $41,561,569 and $36,084,461; and Global Bond were $8,885,713 and $17,564,675, respectively. There were no purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities for the Funds for the six months ended June 30, 2009, except for Global Bond, which were $4,306,380 and $4,228,497, respectively.

 

4. Portfolio Securities Loaned

Each of the Funds other than Money Market may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM, providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. 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 BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in the BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Fund (the “ICRF”), or other short-term investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNYM.

In September of 2008, BNYM advised the Investment Manager that the ICRF had exposure to certain defaulted debt obligations, and that BNYM had established a separate sleeve of the ICRF to hold these securities. The net impact of these positions is not material to each Fund. Each Fund’s position in the separate sleeve of the ICRF Fund is included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments and the unrealized loss on such investment is included in Net Unrealized Depreciation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations.

 

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 made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risks of loss to be remote.

6. 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.

 

7. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, and Global Bond may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency exposure by settling planned purchases or sales of securities and hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of a Fund’s securities or as part of an investment strategy.

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 counterparty is realized on the date of offset, otherwise gain or loss is realized on the settlement date. These contracts may involve greater market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds, except Essex Large Cap Growth and Money Market, 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.

Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts (in U.S. Dollars) at June 30, 2009 were as follows:

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

International Equity 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. The Fund is subject to equity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. 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. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

On entering into a futures contract, either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin) must be deposited with the futures broker. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received each day. The variation margin payments equal the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. 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 and Liabilities 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.

Cash pledged to cover margin requirements for the open futures positions at June 30, 2009, amounted to $60,179. Open futures contracts (in U.S. Dollars) at June 30, 2009, were as follows:

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)

On June 4-5, 2009, 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, with the exception of Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Martin Currie Inc. (for purposes of this section, each a “Subadvisor” and “Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively the “Subadvisors” and “Subadvisory Agreements”). 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, with respect to each Subadvisor, comparative performance information for an appropriate peer group of managed accounts, and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 4-5, 2009, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors under their respective agreements. 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 extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisors; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) 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 a 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 each Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under its 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 considered each Subadvisor’s performance as compared to an appropriate peer group of managed accounts 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 attention to monitoring each Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.

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 Fund’s Subadvisors and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the 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,

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

which consists of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain expense limitations for the Funds.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also 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 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 total expenses. The Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Trustees also considered the current asset levels of the Funds, including the effect on assets attributable to the economic and market conditions over the past year, and considered the impact on profitability of the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in a manager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, 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 advisory fees for any Fund 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 (other than Essex Investment Management Company, LLC (“Essex”), which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), 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 (other than Essex). 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 a 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 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 Essex, a Subadvisor to the Managers AMG Essex Large Cap Growth Fund, the Trustees noted that Essex is an affiliate of the Investment Manager and reviewed information provided by Essex regarding the cost to Essex of providing subadvisory services to the Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fee is paid by the Investment Manager out of the advisory fee. Based on the current size of the portion of the Fund managed by Essex, the Trustees concluded that the effect of any economies of scale being realized by Essex 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 EMERGING MARKETS 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, 2009 was below, below, below and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index®. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager recently added a new Subadvisor to the Fund, and also, at meetings held on March 5-6, 2009, the Trustees previously noted that the composite portfolio performance of the Fund’s new Subadvisor was above the Fund Benchmark for various periods. The Trustees further took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the fact that the Fund’s 10-year performance remains above both the Fund Benchmark and the Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that management had taken appropriate steps to address the Fund’s performance.

Advisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2009 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2010, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.77%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors, 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 GLOBAL BOND 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, 2009 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index, for each period. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s more recent performance, including the fact that the Fund has outperformed the Fund Benchmark year-to-date through April 2009. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s long-term performance had previously been strong and had been negatively affected by the past year’s performance. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.

Advisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2009 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2010, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.10%. 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 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, 2009 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index®, for each period. The Trustees noted that the Investment Manager recently replaced a Subadvisor to the Fund, and also, at meetings held on March 5-6, 2009, the Trustees previously noted that the composite portfolio performance of the Fund’s new Subadvisor was above the Fund Benchmark for various periods. The Trustees further took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the fact that last year was the first calendar year in four years where the Fund underperformed the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees concluded that management had taken appropriate steps to address the Fund’s performance.

Advisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2009 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2010, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.48%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors, 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 AMG ESSEX LARGE CAP GROWTH 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, 2009 was above, below, below and below, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index. 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 growth style. In addition, the Trustees noted that the Fund has performed well during market conditions favorable to growth style funds over the long run, including the fact that the Fund’s 10-year performance has exceeded the performance of the Fund Benchmark, and that the Fund’s 1-year performance has been strong relative to the Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.

Advisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2009 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2010, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.29%, 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 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 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 (as applicable) would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 4-5, 2009, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (as applicable) for each Fund, with the exception of Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. and Martin Currie Inc. (which contracts had previously been approved at meetings held on March 5-6, 2009).

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of a 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. 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 $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 following table 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 following table 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.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information through the most recent month end, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com.

In choosing a Fund, investors should carefully consider the amount they plan to invest, their investment objectives, the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit www.managersinvest.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money. Distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc., member FINRA.

 

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 and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2009. 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.

 

3

The Fund is 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

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.

 

5

High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) are subject to additional risks such as the risk of default.

Barclays Capital U.S. Govt./Credit Index is an index of all investment grade government and corporate bonds with a maturity between one and ten years. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays Capital U.S. Govt./Credit Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

Not FDIC insured, nor bank guaranteed. May lose value.

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 different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report is the Managers Bond Fund (“the Fund”).

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 amounts 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 and such differences could be material. 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 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 provided by the third party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments 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. 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 has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) 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) Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”) determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets, as adjusted to reflect the Investment Manager’s determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager relies upon recommendations of a third-party fair valuation service in adjusting the prices of such foreign portfolio investments. The Fund may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to adjust prices when thinly traded securities are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. An investment’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value according to the Fund’s fair value procedures.

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. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities 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 and various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value. 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.

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

In April 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”) was issued and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. Additionally, FSP FAS 157-4 requires quantitative disclosures about fair value measurements separately for each major category of assets and liabilities.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

* Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the instrument.

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund did not engage in any derivative activity. Therefore, no additional disclosure is required.

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. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund 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 the Fund.

The Fund has a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Fund’s custodian, whereby the Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the custodian expense was not reduced.

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, 2009, the Fund had no overdraft fees.

The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the transfer agent expense was reduced by $5,370.

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Fund has made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the management fee was reduced by $3,995.

Total returns and net investment income for the Fund would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset. Total expenses before offsets exclude the impact of expense reimbursements or fee waivers and expense offsets such as brokerage recapture credits, but include non-reimburseable expenses if any, such as interest and taxes.

 

d. Dividends and Distributions

Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be made annually in December 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, REITS, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency, options, futures 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.

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005-2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

f. Capital Loss Carryovers

As of December 31, 2008, 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. 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, 2009, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund as follows: three collectively own 47%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.

h. Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Fund 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.

The Fund does not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations 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, an independently managed subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Fund and is responsible for the Fund’s overall administration. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for the Fund (subject to Trustee approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment programs and results. The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by a portfolio manager who serves pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement with the Investment Manager.

Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the annual investment management fee rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets, was 0.625%.

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager 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.

The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2010, to waive fees and pay or reimburse expenses to the extent that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund exceed 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s total operating expenses in any such future year to exceed that Fund’s respective expense cap. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund made no such repayments to the Investment Manager. At December 31, 2008, the cumulative amount of expense reimbursement by the Investment Manager subject to repayment by the Fund equaled $3,811,049.

The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $65,000, plus $4,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $5,000 per year. The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents the Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Fund and other affiliated funds in the Managers Funds.

The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the principal underwriter for the Fund. MDI is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). 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. MDI bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

 

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were $50,801,927 and $241,840,115, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were $19,064779 and $630,000, respectively.

 

4. Portfolio Securities Loaned

The Fund may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM, providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. 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 BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent

 

24


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in the BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Fund (the “ICRF”), or other short-term investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNYM.

In September of 2008, BNYM advised the Investment Manager that the ICRF had exposure to certain defaulted debt obligations, and that BNYM had established a separate sleeve of the ICRF to hold these securities. The net impact of this position is not material to the Fund. The Fund’s position in the separate sleeve of the ICRF Fund is included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments and the unrealized loss on such investment is included in Net Unrealized Depreciation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations.

 

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 made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

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

The net asset value of the Fund may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations because the Fund 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 the Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. However, if the 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

The Fund may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency exposure. These investments may involve greater market risk than the amounts disclosed in the Fund’s 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 counterparty is realized on the date of offset, otherwise gain or loss is realized on the settlement date.

The Fund 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.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)

On June 4-5, 2009, 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 Bond Fund (the “Fund”) and the Subadvisory Agreement for the 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 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, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for an appropriate peer group of managed accounts, and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 4-5, 2009, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor under their respective agreements. 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 Agreement; 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 extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Fund; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisor; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Fund’s other service providers; and (d) 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 a contractual expense limitation for the Fund.

The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (the “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 or individuals 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.

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, 2009 was below, below, below and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit Index, for each period. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s more recent performance. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the Fund had outperformed the Fund Benchmark and ranked near the top of the Peer Group upon entering 2008 and has performed well in year-to-date 2009. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s 10-year performance has been competitive relative to the Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.

As noted above, the Board considered the Fund’s performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and considered the Subadvisor’s performance as compared to an appropriate peer group of managed accounts and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and Investment Strategies. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring the Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Fund and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Fund.

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 Subadvisor and, therefore,

 

26


Table of Contents

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)

that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the 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 of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also 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 and potential asset levels of the Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for the Fund from time to time as a means of limiting the total expenses of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the current asset level of the Fund, including the effect on assets attributable to the economic and market conditions over the past year, and considered the impact on profitability of the current asset level and any future growth of assets of the Fund. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. Based on the foregoing, 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 advisory 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.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2009 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2010, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 0.99%. 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.

Subadvisory Fees and Profitability.

In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to the 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 Subadvisor is 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 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, and based on the current size of the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadvisor, the Trustees concluded that any economies of scale being realized by the Subadvisor was not a material factor in the Trustees’ deliberations at this time.

* * * *

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement, in addition to those conclusions discussed above: (a) the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the Fund’s investment objectives; (c) the Subadvisor is reasonably likely to execute its Investment Strategy consistently over time; and (d) the Investment Manager and the 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 the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 4-5, 2009, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund’s Subadvisor.

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of a 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. 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 $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 following table 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 following table 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.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information through the most recent month end please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com.

In choosing a Fund, investors should carefully consider the amount they plan to invest, their investment objectives, the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit www.managersinvest.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money. Distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc., member FINRA.

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.

The Russell 2000® Index was the Fund’s prior benchmark. Effective May 26, 2009, the Investment Manager changed the benchmark to the Russell 2000® Growth Index because it determined that the Russell 2000® Growth Index more accurately reflects the Fund’s investments. The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest stocks in the Russell 3000® Index and is widely regarded in the industry as the premier measure of small-cap stock performance. The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Indexes are unmanaged, are not available for investment, and reflect no deduction for fees and expenses.

The Russell 2000® Index and Russell 2000® Growth Index are trademarks of Russell Investments. Russell® is a trademark of Russell Investments.

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 and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2009. 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.

Not FDIC insured, nor bank guaranteed. May lose value.

Managers Special Equity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 (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 different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report is the Managers Special Equity Fund (“Special Equity” or the “Fund”).

The Fund 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 the Fund and the classes are identical except for class specific expenses related to shareholder activity.

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 amounts 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 and such differences could be material. 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 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 provided by third party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. 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 has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) 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) Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”) determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets, as adjusted to reflect the Investment Manager’s determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager relies upon recommendations of a third-party fair valuation service in adjusting the prices of such foreign portfolio investments. The Fund may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to adjust prices when thinly traded securities are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. An investment’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value according to the Fund’s fair value procedures.

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. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end 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. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities 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 and various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value. 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.

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained

Managers Special Equity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

In April 2009, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Staff Position No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”) was issued and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. Additionally, FSP FAS 157-4 requires quantitative disclosures about fair value measurements separately for each major category of assets and liabilities.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

Managers Special Equity Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”) was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect a fund’s results of operations and financial position. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Fund did not engage in any derivative activity. Therefore, no additional disclosure is required.

 

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. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund 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 the Fund. 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 had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers who paid a portion of the Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, under these arrangements the amount by which the Fund’s expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios was as follows: $48,546 or 0.03% annualized.

The Fund has a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Fund’s custodian, whereby the Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left un-invested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the custodian expense was not reduced.

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, 2009, the Fund incurred overdraft fees of $1,926.

The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the transfer agent expense was reduced by $1,021.

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Fund has made in the JPMor-gan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund – Capital Share Class. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the management fee was not reduced.

Total returns and net investment income for the Funds would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset. Total expenses before offsets exclude the impact of expense reimbursements or fee waivers and expense offsets such as brokerage recapture credits, but include non-reimburseable expenses, if any, such as interest and taxes.

 

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 annually in December and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are declared separately for each class. 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, REITs, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency, options, futures 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.

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.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2005-2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

f. Capital Loss Carryovers

As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had accumulated net realized capital loss carryover from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes of $145,119,718 expiring December 31, 2016.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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, for each fund. 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, 2009, certain unaffiliated shareholders, specifically omnibus accounts, individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund as follows: Managers Class shares – two collectively own 44%; Institutional Class shares – three collectively own 90%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund or the class.

 

2. Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which the Investment Manager, an independently managed subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Fund and is responsible for the Fund’s overall administration. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for the Fund (subject to Trustee approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment programs and results. The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement with the Investment Manager.

Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. The annual investment management fee rate, as a percentage of average daily net assets, is 0.90%.

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager 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.

The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $65,000, plus $4,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $5,000 per year. The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents the Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Fund and other affiliated funds in the Managers Funds.

The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the principal underwriter for the Fund. MDI is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). 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. MDI bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

 

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were $393,302,057 and $532,594,500, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

 

4. Portfolio Securities Loaned

The Fund may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM, providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. 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 BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in the BNY Institutional Cash Reserves Fund (the “ICRF”), or other short-term investments as defined in the Securities Lending Agreement with BNYM.

In September of 2008, BNYM advised the Investment Manager that the ICRF had exposure to certain defaulted debt obligations, and that BNYM had established a separate sleeve of the ICRF to hold these securities. The net impact of this position is not material to the Fund. The Fund’s position in the separate sleeve of the ICRF Fund is included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments and the unrealized loss on such investment is included in Net Unrealized Depreciation on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations.

 

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 made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)

On June 4-5, 2009, 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, with the exception of Ranger Investment Management, L.P. and Federated MDTA LLC (for purposes of this section, each a “Subadvisor” and “Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively the “Subadvisors” and “Subadvisory Agreements”). 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, with respect to each Subadvisor, comparative performance information for an appropriate peer group of managed accounts, and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 4-5, 2009, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors under their respective agreements. 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 extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Fund; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisors; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Fund’s other service providers; and (d) 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.

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 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 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 Managers Class shares for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2009 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, for each period. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s growth bias for the past several years and relative performance during relevant time periods, including the Fund’s strong performance in the first quarter of 2009. The Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager implemented the termination of certain Subadvisors and the hiring of others in 2007 and 2008 to address both performance challenges and transition of the Fund from a growth to a value-oriented investment style. The Trustees concluded that management had taken appropriate steps 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 considered each Subadvisor’s performance as compared to an appropriate peer group of managed accounts 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 attention to monitoring each Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Fund and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Fund.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (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 cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the 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 of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/ reimbursements) as of March 31, 2009 were both higher 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 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 also 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 subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of the Fund, including the effect on assets attributable to the economic and market conditions over the past year, and considered the impact on profitability of the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Fund. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the advisory fee structure. In this regard, the Trustees noted that the Fund currently has four Subadvisors, each managing a portion of the Fund’s portfolio. Based on the foregoing, 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 advisory fee 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, 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. 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 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.

*    *    *    *    *

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 Agreement; (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 best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 4-5, 2009, 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 Subadvisors, with the exception of Ranger Investment Management, L.P. and Federated MDTA LLC (which contracts had previously been approved at meetings held on September 11-12, 2008).
