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.

Fund Performance

All periods ended December 31, 2010 (continued)

 

 

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, which 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.

 

 

Performance differences among the share classes are due to differences in sales charge structures and class expenses. Returns shown reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75% on Class A, as well as the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B and C shares. The Class B shares’ CDSC declines annually between years 1 through 6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1%. No sales charge is assessed after year six. Class C shares held for less than one year are subject to a 1% CDSC.

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 December, 31, 2010. 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

A greater percentage of the Fund’s holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund.

4

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.

5

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.

6

The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions.

7

The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history, and a reliance on one or a limited number of products.

8

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.

9

The Russell 1000® Growth Index is a market capitalization weighted index that measures the performance of those Russell 1000® companies with higher price-to-book ratio and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 1000® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

10

The Russell Midcap® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks are also members of the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Unlike the Fund, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

11

The Russell Microcap® Growth Index measures the performance of the microcap growth segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes those Russell Microcap® Growth Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell Microcap® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

12

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 Russell 2000® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

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

Included in this report are: Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund (“Capital Appreciation”) (formerly Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund), Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund (“Focused Growth”) (formerly Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund), Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund (“Mid-Cap”) (formerly Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund), and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund (“Emerging Companies”) (formerly Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund), collectively the “Funds.”

At the start of business on September 27, 2010, the Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund, Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund, Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund, and the Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund, each a series of the Allianz Funds (the “Predecessor Funds”), were reorganized into a respective series of the Trust, as described above.

Capital Appreciation and Mid-Cap offer Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, Class D shares, Class P shares, Class R shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class shares. Focused Growth offers Class A shares, Class C shares, Class D shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class shares. Emerging Companies offers Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class Shares. Sales of Class A shares may be subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75%. Redemptions of Class B shares, Class C shares and certain Class A shares may be subject to a contigent-deferred sales charge (as a percentage of the original offering price or the net asset value at the time of sale, whichever is less). Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and the classes are identical except for class specific expenses related to shareholder activity. Each class has equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its services and/or distribution plan. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.

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 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 Trust. Each 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. The Investment Manager monitors intervening events that may affect the value of securities held in each Fund’s portfolio and, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds’ Trustees, will adjust the prices of securities traded in foreign markets, as appropriate, to reflect the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time each Fund’s NAV is calculated.

Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share except iShares or other ETF’s, which are valued the same as equity securities. 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 fair valued, 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.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) define fair value 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. GAAP 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.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing)

Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

 

b. Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for as of 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 each 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 each Fund.

The following Funds had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture program, which paid a portion of the Fund’s expenses. For the period September 27, 2010 to December 31, 2010, under these arrangements the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios were as follows: Capital Appreciation – $6,383 or 0.01%, Focused Growth – $106 or 0.01%, and Mid-Cap – $26,265 or 0.01%. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Funds did not participate in a brokerage recapture program.

The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each 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 each Fund. For the period September 27, 2010, to December 31, 2010, the custodian expense was not reduced. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had no balance credit arrangement with the predecessor custodian, State Street Bank & Trust Co.

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 period September 27, 2010, through December 31, 2010, there were no overdraft fees. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had a similar agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Co., and the overdraft fees for the period prior to September 27, 2010, were as follows: Capital Appreciation – $66; Focused Growth – $1,658, and Emerging Companies Fund – $271.

The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the period September 27, 2010, through December 31, 2010, the transfer agent expense was reduced as follows: Capital Appreciation - $247; Focused Growth - $7; Mid-Cap - $210 and Emerging Companies – $16. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Funds’ former Transfer Agent, Boston Financial Data Services-Midwest, Inc., did not have a balance credit arrangement with the Funds and the fees were 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 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 and 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 GAAP. 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 June 30, 2007-2010), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, 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 December 31, 2010 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.

Total

   $ 63,365,000      
           

 

* The Fund’s ability to utilize capital loss carryforward in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on results of share ownership activity.

 

 

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. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds’ policy on investment valuation. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For the six months ended

At December 31, 2010, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following Funds: Capital Appreciation – two collectively own 39%; Focused Growth – one owns 17 %; Mid-Cap – one owns 36% and Emerging Companies – two collectively own 24%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Funds.

 

2. Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates

For each of the Funds, 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. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had a similar Investment Management Agreement with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“Allianz”). The Funds’ investment portfolios are managed by Cadence Capital Management, LLC (“Cadence” or the “Subadvisor”), which serves pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and Cadence with respect to each of the Funds. Prior to September 27, 2010, Cadence served as the subadvisor to the Funds pursuant to a subadvisory agreement between Allianz and Cadence with respect to each of the Predecessor Funds.

Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the period September 27, 2010, to December 31, 2010, the annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:

 

Fund

   Investment
Management Fee
 

Capital Appreciation

     0.45

Focused Growth

     0.45

Mid-Cap

     0.45

Emerging Companies

     1.25

Prior to September 27, 2010, all of the Predecessor Funds, except Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund, paid an investment management fee of 0.45%. Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund paid an investment management fee of 1.25%, of which Allianz voluntarily waived 0.10%.

Effective September 27, 2010, each Fund 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 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. For its services, the Administrator is paid a fee at a rate of 0.25% of average net assets per annum. Prior to September 27, 2010, the predecessor Funds participated in a “unitary” fee structure where Allianz provided administrative services to the Funds and would also bear the cost of most third-party administrative services required by the Funds, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal and transfer agency. The effective Administration fee rate for each class and the portion of the Administration fee in the financial statements that was accrued for the period from July 1, 2010 to September 27, 2010, were as follows:

* Total Administration fee rate for each Predecessor Fund’s class of shares was reduced according to the following schedule: by 0.025% per annum on assets in excess of $1 billion, by an additional 0.025% per annum on net assets in excess of $2.5 billion, by an additional 0.025% per annum on net assets in excess of $5 billion, and by an additional 0.025% per annum on net assets in excess of $7.5 billion. To the extent that any such reduction in fee rate applied, the dollar amount of the fee reduction with respect to each share class was calculated and applied on a pro-rata basis by reference to the percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to that class.

The Investment Manager for the Funds has contractually agreed, through at least November 1, 2012, to waive fees and pay or reimburse Fund expenses of Capital Appreciation, Focused Growth, Mid-Cap, and Emerging Companies, in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest, shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary items) to 0.72%, 0.71%, 0.72% and 1.42%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Funds are 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 expenses in any such future year to exceed the above percentages, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to September 27, 2010, Allianz voluntarily agreed to waive certain investment management and administrative fees to reduce Fund expenses. For the period prior to September 27, 2010, these fees were not reduced. For the period of September 27, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Funds made no repayments to the Investment Manager. At December 31, 2010, the cumulative amounts of reimbursement by the Investment Manager subject to repayment were as follows:

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 each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had adopted a deferred compensation plan for the Trustees, which permitted the Trustees to defer their receipt of compensation from the Funds. The portion of Trustee fees and expenses paid prior to September 27, 2010, by the Predecessor Funds to their former Trustees amounted to: Capital Appreciation - $2,653; Focused Growth – $67; Mid-Cap – $2,277 and Emerging Companies – $177.

The Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (“MDI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. Prior to September 27, 2010, the distributor was Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC. MDI serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund and 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 MDI. 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 MDI.

Effective September 27, 2010, the Funds adopted a distribution and service plan (the “plan”) with respect to the shares of each class of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of the FINRA regarding asset-based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may compensate the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of such class of the Fund’s shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributors up to a certain percentage annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each respective class shares. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by MDI to brokers, dealers and other

financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales related costs. The portion of payments by each class’s shares for shareholder servicing may not exceed a certain annual percentage rate of the average daily net asset value of the Fund’s shares of each class owned by its clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary. The annual percentages of daily net assets for 12b-1 fees congruent with the Plan for each applicable share class of the Funds are detailed in the chart below:

Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds paid 12b-1 fees of 1.00% on all Class B and Class C shares, 0.25% on all Class A and Class D shares, and 0.50% on all Class R shares. Other share classes did not pay a 12b-1 fee prior to September 27, 2010.

On June 23, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible Funds in the Managers Family of Funds (the “Fund Family”). Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending Funds, and an interfund loan

is only made if it benefits each participating Fund. The Investment Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating Funds. For the period September 27, 2010, to December 31, 2010, the following Fund lent to other Funds in the Fund Family: Mid-Cap lent $2,470,476 for 6 days earning interest of $311. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations in interest income. For the period September 27, 2010, to December 31, 2010, the following Fund borrowed from other Funds in the Fund Family: Mid-Cap borrowed $9,683,576 for 6 days paying interest of $1,263. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. At December 31, 2010, the following interfund loan was outstanding:

   12/30/2010    Interfund Loan, 1.140%    $ 1,708,827   

 

* For the two days the Fund’s loan was outstanding, the interest accrued at December 31, 2010, was approximately $107.

 

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government obligations) for the six months ended December 31, 2010, were as follows:

 

Fund

   Purchases      Sales  

Capital Appreciation

   $ 261,476,181       $ 322,029,913   

Focused Growth

     10,219,783         14,798,526

Emerging Companies

     27,596,963         35,191,544   

 

4. 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.

5. Subsequent Events

The Funds have determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred through the issuance of the Fund’s financial statements, which require additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Fund’s financial statements.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)

 

 

At a meeting held on May 4, 2010, the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of The Managers Funds (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), unanimously voted to approve, with respect to the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund, Managers Cadence Focused Fund and Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund, each a new series of the Trust (each a “New Fund” and collectively the “New Funds”), in connection with the reorganizations of the Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund, Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund, Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund and Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund, each a series of Allianz Funds (each a “Predecessor Fund” and collectively the “Predecessor Funds”), into the New Funds (the “Reorganizations”), an amendment to the Fund Management Agreement between Managers Investment Group LLC (“Managers” or the “Investment Manager”) and the Trust with respect to the New Funds (the “Investment Management Agreement”), and a new Subadvisory Agreement between Managers and Cadence Capital Management LLC (“Cadence” or the “Subadvisor”) with respect to each New Fund (each a “Subadvisory Agreement” and collectively the “Subadvisory Agreements” and, together with the “Investment Management Agreement,” the “New Fund Agreements”). The Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in their consideration of the New Fund Agreements.

In considering the New Fund Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the New Funds, Managers and Cadence, including fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds for each New Fund (each a “Peer Group”) and other information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Managers and Cadence under their respective agreements. Because each New Fund is a newly created series of the Trust and has not yet begun operations, no comparative performance information for the New Funds was provided. The Trustees, however, considered the performance of the Predecessor Funds, as disclosed in each Predecessor Fund’s prospectus dated November 1, 2009, as supplemented, its annual report to shareholders dated June 30, 2009, and its semi-annual report to shareholders dated December 31, 2009. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management and (b) discussed with legal counsel the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the New Fund Agreements.

Nature, extent and quality of services

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Managers under the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees reviewed information relating to Managers’ operations and personnel. Among other things, Managers 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 Managers relating to the performance of its duties with respect to other series of the Trust and the Trustees’ familiarity with Managers’ management through Board meetings, discussions and reports.

In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by Managers in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of Cadence; (b) Managers’ ability to supervise the New Funds’ other service providers; and (c) Managers’ compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of Managers with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and noted that, as of March 31, 2010, Managers had approximately $8.3 billion in assets under management.

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by Cadence under each Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees noted that Cadence serves as the subadvisor to the Predecessor Funds and will serve as the subadvisor to the New Funds after the Reorganizations. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the expected services to be rendered by Cadence to each New Fund; (b) the qualifications and experience of Cadence’s personnel; and (c) Cadence’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of Cadence with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement and noted that, as of March 31, 2010, Cadence managed approximately $5.9 billion in assets.

The Trustees considered the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques that are intended to be used in managing each New Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding Cadence’s organizational and management structure and Cadence’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at Cadence with portfolio management responsibility for the New Funds, including the information set forth in each New Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trustees noted that one of the portfolio managers has managed the Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund and the Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund since 1992, the Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund since its inception in 1993 and the Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund since its inception in 1999, another portfolio manager has managed each Predecessor Fund since 2004 and a third portfolio manager has managed each Predecessor Fund since 2006. The Trustees also noted that each of the portfolio managers has worked at Cadence for at least ten years, with one of the portfolio managers serving as Managing Director, Chief Investment Officer and Executive Vice President of Cadence, another portfolio manager serving as Managing Director of Cadence and a third portfolio manager serving as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Cadence. The Trustees observed that each New Fund’s portfolio would be managed in substantially the same manner and by the same personnel as the corresponding Predecessor Fund. In addition, the Trustees considered that Cadence employs a “growth-at-a-reasonable-price” strategy, which combines reliance on a proprietary quantitative model, consisting of various growth factors tempered by certain value factors, with fundamental analysis, and that Cadence seeks to apply this approach to various market capitalizations of the funds that it manages.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

 

 

Performance

Because the New Funds have not yet commenced operations, the Trustees noted that they could not draw any conclusions regarding the performance of the New Funds. The Trustees, however, considered the performance of the Predecessor Funds, as disclosed in each Predecessor Fund’s prospectus dated November 1, 2009, as supplemented, its annual report to shareholders dated June 30, 2009, and its semi-annual report to shareholders dated December 31, 2009. The Trustees concluded that this performance record supported the approval of each Subadvisory Agreement.

Advisory Fees and Profitability

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by Managers for managing the New Funds, the Trustees noted that Managers, and not the New Funds, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the New Funds’ Subadvisor, Cadence, and, therefore, that the fees paid to Managers 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 Managers and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund to Managers 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 (i) the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund’s estimated advisory fee and total gross expenses as of March 31, 2009, were both lower than the average for the New Fund’s Peer Group; (ii) the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund’s estimated advisory fee and total gross expenses as of March 31, 2010 were higher than and lower than, respectively, the average for the New Fund’s Peer Group; (iii) the Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund’s estimated advisory fee and total gross expenses as of March 31, 2010 were both lower than the average for the New Fund’s Peer Group; and (iv) the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund’s estimated advisory fee and total gross expenses as of March 31, 2010 were both lower than the average for the New Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Managers has contractually agreed, through at least November 1, 2012, to limit the net annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary items) for each of the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund, the Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund and the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund to 0.72%, 1.42%, 0.76% and 0.72%, respectively, of the New Fund’s average daily net assets, noting that the net expenses of each of the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, the Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund and the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund were lower than the average for the New Fund’s corresponding Peer Group. In addition, the Trustees took into account the fact that with respect to the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund, Managers has voluntarily agreed to reduce advisory fees further in accordance with the advisory fee waiver that existed prior to the Reorganizations. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Managers and Cadence and the considerations noted above with respect to Managers and Cadence, each New Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to Managers, the Trustees reviewed information provided by Managers setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by Managers and its affiliates attributable to managing the New Funds and all the mutual funds in the Managers family of funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to Managers and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by Managers out of its advisory fee. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to Managers is reasonable and that Managers is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fee. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as each New Fund’s assets increase over time, the New 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.

In considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fee payable by Managers to Cadence, the Trustees considered a presentation by representatives of Cadence regarding Cadence’s organization, management and financial stability, which presentation related generally to the estimated cost to Cadence of providing subadvisory services to each New Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustee’s relied on the ability of Managers to negotiate the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that Managers is not affiliated with the Subadvisor.

In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by Managers out of its advisory fee. Accordingly, the cost of services to be provided by Cadence and the profitability to Cadence of its relationship with the New Funds were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, and based on the potential size of the New Funds, the Trustees concluded that the effect of any economies of scale being realized by Cadence was not a material factor in the Trustees’ deliberations at the time.

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees reached the following conclusions regarding the New Fund Agreements, in addition to those conclusions discussed above: (a) Managers and Cadence have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement; (b) Cadence’s investment strategy is appropriate for pursuing each New Fund’s investment objectives; (c) Cadence is reasonably likely to execute its investment strategy consistently over time; and (d) Managers and Cadence 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 New Fund Agreements would be in the best interests of each New Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on May 4, 2010, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously voted to approve the New Fund Agreements.
