EQUITY SERIES

  


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

Dear Shareholders:

The twelve months ending October 31, 2010 were characterized by well-defined swings in investor sentiment. Optimism fueled strong market returns during the fourth quarter of 2009 and through much of the first quarter of 2010, as positive economic releases led investors to believe in the potential for a robust U.S. recovery. However, more negative economic releases into May and June of 2010, coupled with sovereign debt concerns in Europe, led to a dramatic swing in sentiment during the second quarter, with stock markets suffering notable losses. While volatility remained during the third quarter of 2010, September was a particularly strong month, which helped push market indexes into positive territory on a calendar year-to-date basis.

Despite several ups and downs over the past year, the markets made choppy progress, aided by the rally that began in September. For the twelve months ended October 2010, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.53%, while the Russell 3000 earned 18.34%.

Over the current stock market cycle, which includes the bull market in stocks from October 2002 until November 2007 and the current bear market, the Equity Series continues to provide competitive absolute and relative results for long-term investors. With an annualized return of 9.72% over the current cycle, the Equity Series has outpaced the Russell 3000’s annualized return of 7.49%. While the Equity Series posted a double-digit 15.29% return for the year ending October 31, 2010, it trailed the Russell 3000 benchmark over the last twelve months.

While the Equity Series outperformed at the end of 2009, a bias toward quality and a lower exposure to economically sensitive stocks led the Series to lag behind market returns in early 2010 as investors were overly excited about a recovery. The subsequent market correction during the second quarter affected all equities, without discriminating between high-quality companies and lower quality ones. As a result, short-term swings hurt the Equity Series’ performance. The Series rebounded with the market rally in the third quarter but did not surpass the Russell 3000 benchmark for the year. Nonetheless, Manning & Napier has always been an investment manager that seeks to provide positive returns over full market cycles, which the Equity Series continues to deliver. In this pursuit of long-term gains, we realize that short-term comparisons may be difficult at times.

Over the last twelve months, the Equity Series had a relative overweight as compared to the benchmark in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, as our analysts found quality companies with attractive growth potential in these areas. This higher allocation had a varied impact on the Series’ performance over the past year, yet specific stock selections within the Information Technology and Health Care sectors contributed to positive relative returns more recently during the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Equity Series had a low exposure to Financials relative to the benchmark because regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges such as indebted consumers, persistently high unemployment, a fragile housing market, and continued loan losses prevented many financial services companies from meeting the requirements of our investment strategies. This underweight to Financials aided returns relative to the benchmark during the past year, with the exception of the market rally in early 2010.

While the markets were volatile over the past twelve months, the outlook for the U.S. economy did not change materially over the past year. Despite swings in positive and negative sentiment, Manning & Napier continues to see a slow growth environment as the economy works through extensive consumer and government debt levels. In such an environment, we are focused on company-specific opportunities that can prosper. Specifically, we are seeking leading companies that can grow and gain market share despite a sluggish economy, particularly multinational businesses that may benefit from exposure to faster-growing foreign markets. Using our active stock selection strategies, we are also seeking opportunities in certain cyclical industries that have a tight relationship between supply and demand.

As 2010 comes to an end, economic momentum has begun to slow. With widespread challenges such as elevated unemployment levels and high government debt burdens, the growth prospects for the developed world remain a concern.

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

In this macroeconomic reality of slow growth, a focus on company and industry fundamentals remains important for identifying quality investment opportunities. Through our disciplined investment strategies, Manning & Napier continues to pursue specific areas of the market that are presenting opportunities, particularly winning companies that have favorable growth prospects. Such an active and flexible approach has been at the core of our investment process since Manning & Napier’s inception 40 years ago.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.

1

Performance numbers for the Series and Index are calculated from May 1, 1998, the Collective’s inception date (see Note 3 below).

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 1.05%. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 1.07% for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

For periods prior to the inception of the Series on July 10, 2002, the performance figures reflect the performance of the Exeter Trust Company Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans - All-Equity Collective Investment Trust (the “Collective”), which was managed by the Advisor and reorganized into the Series. The Collective was not open to the public generally, or registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), or subject to certain restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Collective had been registered under the 1940 Act, performance may have been adversely affected. Because the fees of the Collective were lower than the Series’ fees, historical performance would have been lower if the Collective had been subject to the same fees.

4

The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index that consists of 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. The Index returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. 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. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

*

Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.05%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratio stated above may differ from the expense ratio stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

ORGANIZATION

Equity Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital, primarily through investments in U.S. common stocks.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 10.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of October 31, 2010, 6.2 billion shares have been designated in total among 29 series, of which 200 million have been designated as Equity Series Class A common stock.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund’s pricing service may be valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

**

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Investment Portfolio, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. As of October 31, 2010, the Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2009 or October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

Additional disclosure surrounding the activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will also be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management has concluded that this will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.

The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Federal Taxes

The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At October 31, 2010, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2007 through October 31, 2010. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

 

3.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Series’ average daily net assets.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

 

all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2011, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 1.05% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $290,658 for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor voluntarily waived additional fees of $759 for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is also included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.

For fund accounting and transfer agent services through November 7, 2009, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee of 0.055% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $4.5 billion, 0.03% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $4.5 billion and $7.5 billion, and 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. Prior to October 12, 2009 (for sub-accountant) and November 9, 2009 (for sub-transfer agent), the Advisor had an agreement with Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi served as sub-accountant and sub-transfer agent.

The Advisor has entered into agreements dated October 12, 2009 and November 9, 2009 with PNC Global Investment Servicing (“PNCGIS”) under which PNCGIS serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, respectively. Effective November 7, 2009 under the amended master services agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.0175% on the first $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); 0.015% on the next $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); and 0.01% of the average daily net assets in excess of $6 billion (excluding Target Series); plus a base fee of $25,500 per Series. Transfer Agent fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction-, cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS, which serves as the Series’ sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Series’ custodian. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”).

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the year ended October 31, 2010, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $1,015,979,296 and $683,982,759, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms, liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s) and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series on October 31, 2010.

 

7.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.

 

8.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of net investment income or gains and losses, including losses deferred due to wash sales. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Equity Series:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Equity Series (a series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    TAX MANAGED SERIES  
     


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

Dear Shareholders:

The twelve months ending October 31, 2010 were characterized by well-defined swings in investor sentiment. Optimism fueled strong market returns during the fourth quarter of 2009 and through much of the first quarter of 2010, as positive economic releases led investors to believe in the potential for a robust U.S. recovery. However, more negative economic releases into May and June of 2010, coupled with sovereign debt concerns in Europe, led to a dramatic swing in sentiment during the second quarter, with stock markets suffering notable losses. While volatility remained during the third quarter of 2010, September was a particularly strong month, which helped push market indexes into positive territory on a calendar year-to-date basis.

Despite several ups and downs over the past year, the markets made choppy progress, aided by the rally that began in September. For the twelve months ended October, 2010, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.53%, while the Russell 3000 earned 18.34%. Similar to domestic equities, international stocks experienced pronounced fluctuations over the last year. After climbing considerably the last two months, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. (ACWI x US) was up 12.62% the past year through October.

Over the current stock market cycle, which includes the bull market in stocks from October 2002 until November 2007 and the current bear market, the Tax Managed Series continues to provide competitive absolute and relative results for long-term investors. With an annualized return of 9.35% over the current full cycle, the Series has outpaced its blended benchmark’s annualized return of 8.53%. While the Tax Managed Series posted a double-digit return of 17.50% for the year ending October 31, 2010, it trailed the Russell 3000 benchmark over the last twelve months.

While the Tax Managed Series outperformed at the end of 2009, a bias toward quality and a lower exposure to economically sensitive stocks led the Series to lag behind market returns in early 2010 as investors were overly excited about a recovery. The subsequent market correction during the second quarter affected all equities, without discriminating between high-quality companies and lower quality ones. As a result, short-term swings hurt the Series’ performance. However, the Tax Managed Series rebounded with the market rally in the third quarter.

Throughout the last twelve months, the Series had a relative overweight as compared to the benchmark in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, as our analysts found quality companies with attractive growth potential in these areas. This higher allocation had a varied impact on the Series’ performance over the past year, yet specific stock selections within the Information Technology and Health Care sectors contributed to positive relative returns more recently during the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Tax Managed Series had a low exposure to Financials relative to the benchmark because regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges such as indebted consumers, persistently high unemployment, a fragile housing market, and continued loan losses prevented many financial services companies from meeting the requirements of our investment strategies. This underweight to Financials aided returns relative to the benchmark during the past year, with the exception of the market rally in early 2010.

While the markets were volatile over the past twelve months, the outlook for the U.S. economy did not change materially over the past year. Despite swings in positive and negative sentiment, Manning & Napier continues to see a slow growth environment as the economy works through extensive consumer and government debt levels. In such an environment, we are focused on company-specific opportunities that can prosper. Specifically, we are seeking leading companies that can grow and gain market share despite a sluggish economy, particularly multinational businesses that may benefit from exposure to faster-growing foreign markets. Using our active stock selection strategies, we are also seeking opportunities in certain cyclical industries that have a tight relationship between supply and demand.

As 2010 comes to an end, economic momentum has begun to slow. With widespread challenges such as elevated unemployment levels and high government debt burdens, the growth prospects for the developed world remain a concern. In this macroeconomic reality of slow growth, a focus on company and industry fundamentals remains important for

identifying quality investment opportunities. Through our disciplined investment strategies, Manning & Napier continues to pursue specific areas of the market that are presenting opportunities, particularly winning companies that have favorable growth prospects. Such an active and flexible approach has been at the core of our investment process since Manning & Napier’s inception 40 years ago.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.

1

Performance numbers for the Series and Index are calculated from November 1, 1995, the Series’ inception date.

2

Returns before taxes do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 1.20%. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 1.34% for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

Returns after taxes on distributions assume that an investor owned the Series during the entire period and paid taxes on the Series’ distributions. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Series shares assume that an investor paid taxes on the Series’ distributions and sold all shares at the end of each period. After-tax returns reflect the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns reflect past tax effects and are not indicative of future tax effects. After-tax returns are not relevant to those investing through 401(k) plans, IRAs or other tax-deferred arrangements.

The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results.

5

The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index that consists of 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. The Index returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. 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. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

*

Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.20%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratio stated above may differ from the expense ratio stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

ORGANIZATION

Tax Managed Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

The Series’ investment objective is to maximize long-term growth while attempting to minimize the impact of taxes on the total return earned by shareholders.

The Series is authorized to issue five classes of shares (Class A, B, D, E and Z). Currently, only Class A shares have been issued. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 10.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of October 31, 2010, 6.2 billion shares have been designated in total among 29 series, of which 87.5 million have been designated as Tax Managed Series Class A common stock.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund’s pricing service may be valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the Series apply fair value pricing on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities. Fair valuing of securities is determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations or factors based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures contracts, to adjust local market prices for subsequent

movements through the time the Fund calculates its net asset value. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each equity security, except for those in the regions noted above, as Level 2 securities due to the fact the pricing service evaluated what factor was applied to the calculated end of day market price.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value:

*

Includes common stock, warrants and rights. Please see the Investment Portfolio for industry classification and for securities where International Fair Value factor from pricing service was applied to value the security. Such securities are classified as Level 2.

 

**

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Investment Portfolio, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. As of October 31, 2010, the Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2009 or October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund had a significant amount of foreign equity securities transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 due to the implementation of new international fair value pricing procedures. The following is a summary of the foreign equity securities that transferred from Level 1 to Level 2:

Additional disclosure surrounding the activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will also be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management has concluded that this will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.

The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Federal Taxes

The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Federal Taxes (continued)

taxing authorities. At October 31, 2010, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2007 through October 31, 2010. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Series’ average daily net assets.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2011, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Class A Series at no more than 1.20% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $50,759 for

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

the year ended October 31, 2010, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor voluntarily waived additional fees of $758 for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is also included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.

For fund accounting and transfer agent services through November 7, 2009, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee of 0.055% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $4.5 billion, 0.03% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $4.5 billion and $7.5 billion, and 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. Prior to October 12, 2009 (for sub-accountant) and November 9, 2009 (for sub-transfer agent), the Advisor had an agreement with Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi served as the sub-accountant and sub-transfer agent.

The Advisor has entered into agreements dated October 12, 2009 and November 9, 2009 with PNC Global Investment Servicing U.S. Inc. (“PNCGIS”) under which PNCGIS serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, respectively. Effective November 7, 2009 under the amended master services agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.0175% on the first $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); 0.015% on the next $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); and 0.01% of the average daily net assets in excess of $6 billion (excluding Target Series); plus a base fee of $25,500 per Series. Transfer Agent fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction-, cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS, which serves as the Series’ sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Series’ custodian. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”).

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivatives counterparties failure to perform under contract terms, liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s) and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series on October 31, 2010.

 

7.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.

 

8.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of net investment income or gains and losses, including losses deferred due to wash sales and foreign currency gains and losses. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Tax Managed Series:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Tax Managed Series (a series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

Dear Shareholders:

The twelve months ending October 31, 2010 were characterized by well-defined swings in investor sentiment. Optimism fueled strong market returns during the fourth quarter of 2009 and through much of the first quarter of 2010, as positive economic releases led investors to believe in the potential for a robust U.S. recovery. However, more negative economic releases into May and June of 2010, coupled with sovereign debt concerns in Europe, led to a dramatic swing in sentiment during the second quarter, with stock markets suffering notable losses. While volatility remained during the third quarter of 2010, September was a particularly strong month, which helped push market indexes into positive territory on a calendar year-to-date basis.

Despite several ups and downs over the past year, the markets made choppy progress. For the twelve months ended October 2010, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.53%, aided by the rally that began in September. Similar to domestic equities, international stocks experienced pronounced fluctuations over the last year. After climbing considerably the last two months, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. (ACWI x US) was up 12.62% the past year through October. The fixed income markets delivered more stable returns throughout the short-term market swings, with the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index advancing 8.01% over the past twelve months.

The Target Series represent six distinct mutual funds, each managed to a designated target date. The investment objective of each Series automatically becomes more conservative over time as the specified target date approaches. Over the current stock market cycle, which includes the bull market in stocks from October 2002 until November 2007 and the current bear market, all six Target Series continue to provide competitive absolute returns for long-term investors. The Target Income Series (i.e., the most fixed income oriented Series) has delivered similar results to its blended index benchmark over the current stock market cycle. Meanwhile, the more growth-oriented Target Series continue to outperform their respective blended index benchmarks over the most recent full cycle.

For the last twelve months ending October 31, 2010, each of the Target Series posted double-digit positive returns. Furthermore, all six beat their respective blended index benchmarks over the past one-year period.

Manning & Napier’s fundamentals-based investment process led to a higher than average allocation to equities in each of the Series during the past year, as our analysts uncovered stock opportunities that met our strategy and valuation disciplines. This higher allocation to equities helped absolute and relative returns in the last quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. During the market correction in the second quarter of 2010, this modest overweight to stocks hurt relative results. However, this higher exposure to equities has benefited each of the Target Series on an absolute and relative basis since the markets rebounded in the third quarter.

Within the underlying equity holdings of the Target Series’ portfolios, we had an overweight in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors relative to the blended benchmarks. This higher allocation had a varied impact on the Series’ performance over the past year, yet specific stock selections within the Information Technology and Health Care sectors contributed to positive relative returns more recently during the third quarter. On the other hand, the Series had a low exposure to Financials relative to their respective blended benchmarks because regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges such as indebted consumers, persistently high unemployment, a fragile housing market, and continued loan losses prevented many financial services companies from meeting the requirements of our investment strategies. This underweight to Financials aided returns relative to the blended benchmarks during the past year, with the exception of the market rally in early 2010.

Within the underlying fixed income portion of the Series’ portfolios, we have shifted assets away from U.S. Treasury securities and toward sectors that offer additional yield potential. The Target 2030 and Target 2020, which are geared towards growth, and the Target 2010 and Income Series, which are respectively managed to reduce volatility and preserve capital, all have a bias toward investment grade corporate securities, with a modest allocation to high yield bonds as well.

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

Additionally, each of the Series has noteworthy exposure to U.S. Agency securities. While the Target Series’ fixed income returns trailed the fixed income portion of their respective blended benchmarks in the last quarter of 2009, this current positioning provided favorable results relative to the blended benchmarks throughout the second and third quarters of 2010.

While the markets were volatile over the past twelve months, the outlook for the U.S. economy did not change materially over the past year. Despite swings in positive and negative sentiment, Manning & Napier continues to see a slow growth environment as the economy works through extensive consumer and government debt levels. In such an environment, we are focused on company-specific opportunities that can prosper. Specifically, we are seeking leading companies that can grow and gain market share despite a sluggish economy, particularly multinational businesses that may benefit from exposure to faster-growing foreign markets. Using our active stock selection strategies, we are also seeking opportunities in certain cyclical industries that have a tight relationship between supply and demand.

As 2010 comes to an end, economic momentum has begun to slow. With widespread challenges such as elevated unemployment levels and high government debt burdens, the growth prospects for the developed world remain a concern. In this macroeconomic reality of slow growth, a focus on company and industry fundamentals remains important for identifying quality investment opportunities. Through our disciplined investment strategies, Manning & Napier continues to pursue specific areas of the market that are presenting opportunities, particularly winning companies that have favorable growth prospects. Such an active and flexible approach has been at the core of our investment process since Manning & Napier’s inception 40 years ago.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six month period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

The Actual lines of the following tables provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 Actual line for the Series and Class in which you have invested 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 Hypothetical lines of the following tables provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Series and Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratios stated above may differ from the expense ratios stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Class’ total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period.

2

Expense ratios of the Class do not include fees and expenses indirectly incurred by the underlying funds. If these expenses were included, the expense ratios would have been higher.

3

Assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

1

Commencement of operations.

2

Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

3

Represents the whole number without rounding to the 000’s.

4

Represents aggregate total return for the period indicated, and assumes reinvestment of all distributions. Total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period. Periods less than one year are not annualized.

5

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratio of the underlying series was 0.70%.

6

During the year ended October 31, 2010, due to the timing of the renewal of the Series’ distribution plan under Rule 12b-1, the Series incurred approximately 11 months of distribution expense. The expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio and total return would have been lower had the Series incurred a full year of distribution expense.

7

Annualized.

8

Reflects activity of the Series and does not include the activity of the underlying series.

9

The increase to the expense ratios (to average net assets) is largely due to the small net assets in each class.

ORGANIZATION

Target Income Series, Target 2010 Series, Target 2020 Series, Target 2030 Series, Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 Series (each the “Series”) are no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

Each Series seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a combination of other Manning & Napier mutual funds (the “underlying series”) in order to meet its target asset allocations and investment style. The Series are designed to provide a single investment portfolio that adjusts over time to meet the changing risk and return objectives of investors over their expected investment horizon. As the target retirement date approaches, the Series’ portfolio becomes more conservative with a larger fixed-income investment component. The financial statements of the underlying series should be read in conjunction with the Series’ financial statements.

Each Series is authorized to issue four classes of shares (Class K, R, C and I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class-specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of each Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 10.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of October 31, 2010, 6.2 billion shares have been designated in total among 29 series, of which 10 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class C and I common stock and 40 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class K and R common stock.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation

Investments in the underlying series are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date. In the absence of the availability of a net asset value per share on the underlying series, security valuations may be determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measure fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund’s pricing service may be valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities,

interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value:

  * Other financial instruments are derivative instruments such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. As of October 31, 2010, the Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

There were no Level 3 securities held by any of the Series as of October 31, 2009 or October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

Additional disclosure surrounding the activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will also be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management has concluded that this will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Expenses included in the accompanying statements of operations do not include any expense of the underlying series.

Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that Class.

The Series use the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

Federal Taxes

Each Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes

Federal Taxes (continued)

 

to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At October 31, 2010, the Series have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to betaken in future tax returns.

The Series file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2008 through October 31, 2010. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Additionally, based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which they invest, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made semi-annually. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Advisor does not receive an advisory fee for the services it performs for the Series. However, the Advisor is entitled to receive an advisory fee from each of the underlying series in which the Series invest.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of

all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2020, to limit each class’ total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.05% for each class, exclusive of distribution and service fees, of average daily net assets each year. The Advisor’s agreement to limit each class’ operating expenses is limited to direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to the indirect expenses incurred by the Series through their investments in the underlying series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Advisor reimbursed expenses of $115,103 for Target Income Series, $126,761 for Target 2010 Series, $118,103 for Target 2020 Series, $120,629 for Target 2030 Series, $125,395 for Target 2040 Series and $135,174 for Target 2050 Series, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Advisor voluntarily waived additional fees of $758 for each Series, which is also included as a reduction of expenses on the Statements of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been reimbursed in prior years.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. Each Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class K, Class R and Class C shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, each Series pays distribution and services fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares, 0.50% of average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares, and 1.00% of average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. There are no distribution and services fees on the Class I shares of each Series. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. During the year ended October 31, 2010, due to the timing of the renewal of the Series’ distribution plan under Rule 12b-1, the Series incurred approximately 11 months of distribution expense.

For fund accounting services through November 7, 2009, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee of $19,000 for each Target Series. For transfer agency services through November 7, 2009, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee of $12,000 per class for each Target Series. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Prior to October 12, 2009 (for sub-accountant) and November 9, 2009 (for sub-transfer agent), the Advisor had an agreement with Citi Fund Services, Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi served as sub-accountant and sub-transfer agent.

The Advisor has entered into agreements dated October 12, 2009 and November 9, 2009 with PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”) under which PNCGIS serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, respectively. Effective November 7, 2009 under the amended master services agreement, the fee rates for these Series are as follows: An annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.025% of the average daily net assets with an annual base fee of $40,500 per Series. Transfer Agent Fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain cusip-based and out-of-pocket expenses are charged.

Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS, which serves as the Series’ sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Series’ custodian. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”).

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The underlying Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The underlying Series may be subject to various elements of risk and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivatives counterparties failure to perform under contract terms, liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s) and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms.

 

8.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of net investment income or gains and losses, including losses deferred due to wash sales. Each Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

To the Board of Directors of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of – Target Income Series, Target 2010 Series, Target 2020 Series, Target 2030 Series, Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 Series:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Target Income Series, Target 2010 Series, Target 2020 Series, Target 2030 Series, Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 Series (each a series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc., hereafter collectively referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2010, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DIVIDEND FOCUS SERIES

  


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

Dear Shareholders:

The twelve months ending October 31, 2010 were characterized by well-defined swings in investor sentiment. Optimism fueled strong market returns during the fourth quarter of 2009 and through much of the first quarter of 2010, as positive economic releases led investors to believe in the potential for a robust U.S. recovery. However, more negative economic releases into May and June of 2010, coupled with sovereign debt concerns in Europe, led to a dramatic swing in sentiment during the second quarter, with stock markets suffering notable losses. While volatility remained during the third quarter of 2010, September was a particularly strong month, which helped push market indexes into positive territory on a calendar year-to-date basis.

Despite several ups and downs over the past year, the markets made choppy progress. For the twelve months ended October 2010, the Russell 3000 Index gained 18.34%, aided by the rally that began in September. Growth stocks generally exceeded value stocks, with the Russell 1000 Value Index earning 15.71% over the twelve months ending October 31, 2010, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index gaining 19.65%. The Dividend Focus Series also posted double-digit returns over the past year, although at 12.32% its results trail both the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000 Value Indices.

The Dividend Focus Series uses a quantitative investment approach to target companies that possess high dividends, high free cash flow, and a low risk of financial distress. With a quality bias, the Series seeks to provide competitive equity returns, as well as capital preservation during market downturns. Given this risk aversion, the Series has less than a 1% allocation to the Financial sector, which continues to suffer from regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges such as indebted consumers, persistently high unemployment, a fragile housing market, and continued loan losses. This near avoidance of financial companies aided performance relative to the benchmark over the past year, with the exception of during the market rally in early 2010.

As of October 2010, the Series had substantial exposure to the Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors, which contain quality companies with solid balance sheets and an established history of paying dividends. The higher allocation to Consumer Staples was a positive contributor to the Series’ relative performance for most of the last year, particularly in the first half of 2010. While this allocation slightly detracted from results relative to the benchmark over the third quarter, specific selections in the Consumer Staples sector benefited relative performance during that time. Meanwhile, the Dividend Focus Series also had an overweight to the Energy Sector, although individual holdings in this sector hurt results relative to the benchmark throughout much of the past year.

While the markets were volatile over the past twelve months, the outlook for the U.S. economy did not change materially over the past year. Despite swings in positive and negative sentiment, Manning & Napier continues to see a slow growth environment as the economy works through extensive consumer and government debt levels. In this macroeconomic reality of slow growth, a focus on quality companies remains important for identifying investment opportunities.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.

1

Performance numbers for the Series and Index are calculated from November 7, 2008, the Series’ inception date.

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this annualized net expense ratio was 0.60%. The annualized gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 5.61% for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

The Russell 1000® Value Index is an unmanaged, market capitalization-weighted index consisting of those Russell 1000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. The S&P 500 Total Return Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted measure of 500 widely held common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and the Over-the-Counter market. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of dividends. Both Indices’ returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. 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. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)

   $ 1,000.00       $ 1,022.18       $ 3.06   

 

*

Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.60%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratio stated above may differ from the expense ratio stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund’s pricing service may be valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Investment Portfolio, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. As of October 31, 2010, the Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2009 or October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

Additional disclosure surrounding the activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will also be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management has concluded that this will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.

The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Federal Taxes

The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At October 31, 2010, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the period ended October 31, 2009 and the year ended October 31, 2010. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.45% of the Series’ average daily net assets.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2011, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.60% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $111,492 for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor voluntarily waived additional fees of $758 for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is also included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in the prior period.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.

For fund accounting and transfer agent services through November 7, 2009, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee of 0.055% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $4.5 billion, 0.03% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $4.5 billion and $7.5 billion, and 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. Prior to October 12, 2009 (for sub-accountant) and November 9, 2009 (for sub-transfer agent), the Advisor had an agreement with Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi served as sub-accountant and sub-transfer agent.

The Advisor has entered into agreements dated October 12, 2009 and November 9, 2009 with PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”) under which PNCGIS serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, respectively. Effective November 7, 2009 under the amended master services agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.0175% on the first $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); 0.015% on the next $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); and 0.01% of the average daily net assets in excess of $6 billion (excluding Target Series); plus a base fee of $25,500 per Series. Transfer Agent fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally,

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

 

certain transaction-, cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS, which serves as the Series’ sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Series’ custodian. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”).

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms, liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s) and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series on October 31, 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements

FOREIGN SECURITIES

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.

 

8.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of net investment income or gains and losses including losses deferred due to wash sales and investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts and Royalty Trusts. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

The tax character of distributions paid were as follows:

 

     For the  Year

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Dividend Focus Series:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Dividend Focus Series (a series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period November 7, 2008 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OVERSEAS SERIES

 


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

Dear Shareholders:

The twelve months ending October 31, 2010 were characterized by well-defined swings in investor sentiment. Optimism fueled strong market returns during the fourth quarter of 2009 and through much of the first quarter of 2010, as positive economic releases led investors to believe in the potential for a robust global recovery. Amid concerns about sovereign debt problems in Europe, sentiment shifted dramatically during the second quarter, with stock markets suffering notable losses. While volatility remained during the third quarter of 2010, September was a particularly strong month, which helped push market indexes into positive territory on a calendar year-to-date basis.

Despite several ups and downs over the past year, the international markets made choppy progress. After climbing the last two months, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. (ACWI x US) was up 12.62% the past year through October.

The Overseas Series was also up considerably over the twelve months ending October 31, 2010, with a return of 12.68%, similar to its benchmark. Furthermore, the Series continues to provide competitive absolute and relative results over the current international stock market cycle, which includes both a bull and a bear market. Over this current cycle, the Overseas Series has earned an annualized return of 13.82% compared to the 13.52% return of the MSCI ACWIxUS.

Throughout the last twelve months, the Series had a relative overweight as compared to the benchmark in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, as our analysts found quality companies with attractive long-term growth potential in these areas. This higher allocation had a varied impact on the Series’ performance over the past year, yet specific stock selections within the Information Technology and Health Care sectors contributed to positive relative returns more recently during the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Overseas Series had a low exposure to Financials relative to the benchmark because regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges, such as persistently high unemployment and continued loan losses, prevented many financial services companies from meeting the requirements of our investment strategies. Overall, this underweight to Financials aided returns relative to the benchmark during the past year, although this allocation decision hurt relative performance during the third quarter of 2010.

Looking at the world from a country viewpoint, equity selections in Developed Europe detracted from relative performance in the fourth quarter 2009 but significantly aided results relative to the benchmark for the rest of the past year. Specifically, holdings in countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom had a positive impact on the Series’ return compared to the benchmark. While the Overseas Series had a low allocation to Emerging Markets relative to the benchmark, investments in certain countries such as Brazil helped results. In contrast, specific stock decisions in Developed Asia hurt relative performance over the past year. In regards to country allocations, the Overseas Series had an overweight in France, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands, while the Series maintained an underweight in Japan.

While the markets were volatile over the past twelve months, the outlook for the developed world did not change materially over the past year. Despite swings in positive and negative sentiment, Manning & Napier continues to see a slow growth environment as developed economies work through extensive consumer and government debt levels. In contrast, emerging markets such as Brazil, China, and India have been experiencing more rapid rebounds. This divergence between fast-growing emerging markets and slow-growth developed markets will likely be apparent for some time. In such an environment, Manning & Napier is focused on company-specific opportunities that can prosper. We are seeking leading companies that can grow and gain market share despite a sluggish economy, particularly multinational businesses that may benefit from exposure to faster-growing foreign markets. Using our active stock selection strategies, we are also seeking opportunities in certain cyclical industries that have a tight relationship between supply and demand.

As 2010 comes to an end, economic momentum has begun to slow. With widespread challenges such as elevated unemployment levels and high government debt burdens, the growth prospects for the developed world remain a concern. In this macroeconomic reality of slow growth, a focus on company and industry fundamentals remains important for

identifying quality investment opportunities. Through our disciplined investment strategies, Manning & Napier continues to pursue specific areas of the market that are presenting opportunities, particularly winning companies that have favorable growth prospects. Such an active and flexible approach has been at the core of our investment process since Manning & Napier’s inception 40 years ago.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.

1

Performance numbers for the Series are calculated from September 23, 1998, the Collective’s inception date (see Note 3 below). Prior to 2001, the MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. only published month-end numbers; therefore, performance numbers for the Index are calculated from September 30, 1998.

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 0.75%. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 0.76% for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

For periods prior to the inception of the Series on July 10, 2002, the performance figures reflect the performance of the Exeter Trust Company Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans - International Equity Collective Investment Trust (the “Collective”), which was managed by the Advisor and reorganized into the Series. The Collective was not open to the public generally, or registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), or subject to certain restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Collective had been registered under the 1940 Act, performance may have been adversely affected. Because the fees of the Collective were lower than the Series’ fees, historical performance would have been lower if the Collective had been subject to the same fees.

The MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets and consists of 47 developed and emerging market country indices outside the United States. The Index is denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of gross dividends (which do not account for foreign dividend taxation) from the inception of the Collective (see note 1 above) through December 31, 1998, as net returns were not available. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Index returns assume daily reinvestment of net dividends (thus accounting for foreign dividend taxation). Unlike Series returns, the Index returns do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period
(May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

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

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. 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. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical

   $ 1,000.00       $ 1,021.42       $ 3.82   

 

*

Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratio stated above may differ from the expense ratio stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

ORGANIZATION

Overseas Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.

The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term growth by investing primarily in common stocks of issuers from outside the United States.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 10.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of October 31, 2010, 6.2 billion shares have been designated in total among 29 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Overseas Series Class A common stock.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund’s pricing service may be valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the Series apply fair value pricing on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities. Fair valuing of securities is determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations or factors based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures contracts, to adjust local market prices for subsequent movements through the time the Fund calculates its net asset value. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy

Security Valuation (continued)

 

to classify each equity security, except for those in the regions noted above, as Level 2 securities due to the fact the pricing service evaluated what factor was applied to the calculated end of day market price.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value:

Includes common stock, warrants and rights. Please see the Investment Portfolio for industry classification and for securities where International Fair Value factor from pricing service was applied to value the security. Such securities are classified as Level 2.

 

**

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Investment Portfolio, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. As of October 31, 2010, the Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2009 or October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund had a significant amount of foreign equity securities transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 due to the implementation of new international fair value pricing procedures. The following is a summary of the foreign equity securities that transferred from Level 1 to Level 2:

Additional disclosure surrounding the activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will also be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management has concluded that this will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.

The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Federal Taxes

The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by

 

17


Notes to Financial Statements

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Federal Taxes (continued)

 

taxing authorities. At October 31, 2010, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2007 through October 31, 2010. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

 

3.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Series’ average daily net assets.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2011, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.75% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $82,640 for

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

 

the year ended October 31, 2010, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor voluntarily waived additional fees of $759 for the year ended October 31, 2010, which is also included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.

For fund accounting and transfer agent services through November 7, 2009, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee of 0.055% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $4.5 billion, 0.03% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $4.5 billion and $7.5 billion, and 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. Prior to October 12, 2009 (for sub-accountant) and November 9, 2009 (for sub-transfer agent), the Advisor had an agreement with Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi served as sub-accountant and sub-transfer agent.

The Advisor has entered into agreements dated October 12, 2009 and November 9, 2009 with PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”) under which PNCGIS serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, respectively. Effective November 7, 2009 under the amended master services agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.0175% on the first $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); 0.015% on the next $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); and 0.01% of the average daily net assets in excess of $6 billion (excluding Target Series); plus a base fee of $25,500 per Series. Transfer Agent fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction-, cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS, which serves as the Series’ sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Series’ custodian. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”).

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the year ended October 31, 2010, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $582,581,636 and $218,297,082, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivatives counterparties failure to perform under contract terms, liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s) and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series on October 31, 2010.

 

7.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.

 

8.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of net investment income or gains and losses, including losses deferred due to wash sales and foreign currency gains and losses. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of Overseas Series:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Overseas Series (a series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2010, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders:

The twelve months ending October 31, 2010 were characterized by well-defined swings in investor sentiment. Optimism fueled strong market returns during the fourth quarter of 2009 and through much of the first quarter of 2010, as positive economic releases led investors to believe in the potential for a robust U.S. recovery. However, more negative economic releases into May and June of 2010, coupled with sovereign debt concerns in Europe, led to a dramatic swing in sentiment during the second quarter, with stock markets suffering notable losses. While volatility remained during the third quarter of 2010, September was a particularly strong month, which helped push market indexes into positive territory on a calendar year-to-date basis.

Despite several ups and downs over the past year, the markets made choppy progress. For the twelve months ended October 2010, the S&P 500 Index gained 16.53%, aided by the rally that began in September. Similar to domestic equities, international stocks experienced pronounced fluctuations over the last year. After climbing considerably the last two months, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. (ACWI x US) was up 12.62% the past year through October. The fixed income markets delivered more stable returns throughout the short-term market swings, with the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index advancing 8.01% over the past twelve months.

Over the current stock market cycle, which includes the bull market in stocks from October 2002 until November 2007 and the current bear market, all four Pro-Blend® Series continue to provide competitive absolute returns for long-term investors. The Conservative Term Series (i.e., the most fixed income oriented Series with an average of 80% in bonds) has delivered similar results to its blended index benchmark over the current stock market cycle. Meanwhile, the more growth-oriented Moderate Term Series, Extended Term Series, and Maximum Term Series each continue to outperform their respective blended index benchmarks over the most recent full cycle.

For the last twelve months ending October 31, 2010, each of the Pro-Blend® Series posted double-digit positive returns. Furthermore, all four Series beat their respective blended index benchmarks over the past one-year period.

Manning & Napier’s fundamentals-based investment process led to a higher than average allocation to equities in each of the Series during the past year, as our analysts uncovered stock opportunities that met our strategy and valuation disciplines. This higher allocation to equities helped absolute and relative returns in the last quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. During the market correction in the second quarter of 2010, this modest overweight to stocks hurt relative results. However, this higher exposure to equities has benefited all four of the Pro-Blend® Series on an absolute and relative basis since the markets rebounded in the third quarter.

Within the equity portion of the Pro-Blend® Series’ portfolios, we had an overweight in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors relative to the blended benchmarks. This higher allocation had a varied impact on the Series’ performance over the past year, yet specific stock selections within the Information Technology and Health Care sectors contributed to positive relative returns more recently during the third quarter. On the other hand, the Series had a low exposure to Financials relative to their respective blended benchmarks because regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic challenges such as indebted consumers, persistently high unemployment, a fragile housing market, and continued loan losses prevented many financial services companies from meeting the requirements of our investment strategies. This underweight to Financials aided returns relative to the blended benchmarks during the past year, with the exception of the market rally in early 2010.

Within the fixed income portion of the Series’ portfolios, we have shifted assets away from U.S. Treasury securities and toward sectors that offer additional yield potential. The Conservative Term Series, Moderate Term Series, and Extended Term Series have a bias toward investment grade corporate securities, with a modest allocation to high yield bonds as well. Additionally, each of the Series has noteworthy exposure to U.S. Agency securities. While the Pro-Blend® Series’

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

fixed income returns trailed the fixed income portion of their respective blended benchmarks in the last quarter of 2009, this current positioning provided favorable results relative to the blended benchmarks throughout the second and third quarters of 2010.

While the markets were volatile over the past twelve months, the outlook for the U.S. economy did not change materially over the past year. Despite swings in positive and negative sentiment, Manning & Napier continues to see a slow growth environment as the economy works through extensive consumer and government debt levels. In such an environment, we are focused on company-specific opportunities that can prosper. Specifically, we are seeking leading companies that can grow and gain market share despite a sluggish economy, particularly multinational businesses that may benefit from exposure to faster-growing foreign markets. Using our active stock selection strategies, we are also seeking opportunities in certain cyclical industries that have a tight relationship between supply and demand.

As 2010 comes to an end, economic momentum has begun to slow. With widespread challenges such as elevated unemployment levels and high government debt burdens, the growth prospects for the developed world remain a concern. In this macroeconomic reality of slow growth, a focus on company and industry fundamentals remains important for identifying quality investment opportunities. Through our disciplined investment strategies, Manning & Napier continues to pursue specific areas of the market that are presenting opportunities, particularly winning companies that have favorable growth prospects. Such an active and flexible approach has been at the core of our investment process since Manning & Napier’s inception 40 years ago.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc.

Performance numbers for the Series and Indices are calculated from November 1, 1995, the Class S inception date.

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 0.90% for Class S, 0.70% for Class I, 1.70% for Class C and 1.20% for Class R. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 0.90% for Class S, 0.70% for Class I, 1.70% for Class C and 1.20% for Class R for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

For periods prior to the inception of Class I on March 28, 2008, Class C on January 4, 2010 and Class R on June 30, 2010, the performance figures are hypothetical and reflect the performance of the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. - Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series - Class S adjusted for expense differences.

The Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that represents the U.S. domestic investment-grade bond market. It is a market value weighted index of investment-grade debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities greater than one year but less than ten years. The Index returns assume reinvestment of income and, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

5

The 5%/15%/80% Blended Index is 5% Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index ex U.S., 15% Russell 3000® Index, and 80% Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets and consists of 47 developed and emerging market country indices outside the United States. The Index is denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of gross dividends (which do not account for foreign dividend taxation) from the inception of the Series through December 31, 1998, as net returns were not available. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Index returns assume daily reinvestment of net dividends (thus accounting for foreign dividend taxation). The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index that consists of 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. Both Indices’ returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Indices’ portfolios.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010, except for Class R Actual, which is from June 30, 2010* to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 Actual line for the Class in which you have invested 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 Hypothetical lines of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series (unaudited)

 

**

Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period (except for the Series’ Class R Actual return information, which reflects the 123 day period ended October 31, 2010 due to its inception date of June 30, 2010). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratios stated above may differ from the expense ratios stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

The following graph compares the value of a $10,000 investment in the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. - Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - Class S for the ten years ended October 31, 2010 to the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and a 10%/30%/60% Blended Index.

LOGO

 

1

Performance numbers for the Series are calculated from September 15, 1993, the Class S inception date. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index only publishes month-end numbers; therefore, performance numbers for the Indices are calculated from September 30, 1993.

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 1.09% for Class S, 0.84% for Class I, 1.84% for Class C and 1.34% for Class R. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 1.09% for Class S, 0.84% for Class I, 1.84% for class C and 1.34% for Class R for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

For periods prior to the inception of Class I on March 28, 2008, Class C on January 4, 2010 and Class R on June 30, 2010, the performance figures are hypothetical and reflect the performance of the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. - Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - Class S adjusted for expense differences.

4

The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that represents the U.S. domestic investment-grade bond market. It is a market value weighted index of investment-grade debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. The Index returns assume reinvestment of income and, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

The 10%/30%/60% Blended Index is 10% Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index ex U.S., 30% Russell 3000® Index, and 60% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets and consists of 47 developed and emerging market country indices outside the United States. The Index is denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of gross dividends (which do not account for foreign dividend taxation) from the inception of the Series (see Note 1 above) through December 31, 1998, as net returns were not available. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Index returns assume daily reinvestment of net dividends (thus accounting for foreign dividend taxation). The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index that consists of 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. Both Indices’ returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Indices’ portfolios.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010, except for Class R Actual, which is from June 30, 2010* to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 Actual line for the Class in which you have invested 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 Hypothetical lines of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series (unaudited)

 

**

Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period (except for the Series’ Class R Actual return information, which reflects the 123 day period ended October 31, 2010 due to its inception date of June 30, 2010). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratios stated above may differ from the expense ratios stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

1

Performance numbers for the Series are calculated from October 12, 1993, the Class S inception date. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index only publishes month-end numbers; therefore, performance numbers for the Indices are calculated from October 31, 1993.

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 1.07% for Class S, 0.83% for Class I, 1.83% for Class C and 1.33% for Class R. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 1.07% for Class S, 0.83% for Class I, 1.83% for Class C and 1.33% for Class R for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

For periods prior to the inception of Class I on March 28, 2008, Class C on January 4, 2010, and Class R on June 30, 2010, the performance figures are hypothetical and reflect the performance of the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. - Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series - Class S adjusted for expense differences.

4

The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that represents the U.S. domestic investment-grade bond market. It is a market value weighted index of investment-grade debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. The Index returns assume reinvestment of income and, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

5

The 15%/40%/45% Blended Index is 15% Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index ex U.S., 40% Russell 3000® Index, and 45% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets and consists of 47 developed and emerging market country indices outside the United States. The Index is denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of gross dividends (which do not account for foreign dividend taxation) from the inception of the Series (see note 1 above) through December 31, 1998, as net returns were not available. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Index returns assume daily reinvestment of net dividends (thus accounting for foreign dividend taxation). The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index that consists of 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. Both Indices’ returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

6

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Indices’ portfolios.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010, except for Class R Actual, which is from June 30, 2010* to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 Actual line for the Class in which you have invested 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 Hypothetical lines of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series (unaudited)

 

 

 

**

Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period (except for the Series’ Class R Actual return information, which reflects the 123 day period ended October 31, 2010 due to its inception date of June 30, 2010). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratios stated above may differ from the expense ratios stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

1

Performance numbers for the Series and Indices are calculated from November 1, 1995, the Class S inception date.

2

The Series’ performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The Series’ performance is historical and may not be indicative of future results. The performance returns shown are inclusive of the net expense ratio of the Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, this net expense ratio was 1.10% for Class S, 0.85% for Class I, 1.85% for Class C and 1.35% for Class R. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 1.10% for Class S, 0.85% for Class I, 1.86% for Class C and 1.35% for Class R for the year ended October 31, 2010.

3

For periods prior to the inception of Class I on March 28, 2008, Class C on January 4, 2010 and Class R on June 30, 2010, the performance figures are hypothetical and reflect the performance of the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. - Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series - Class S adjusted for expense differences.

4

The Russell 3000® Index is an unmanaged index that consists of 3,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Index returns are based on a market capitalization weighted average of relative price changes of the component stocks plus dividends whose reinvestments are compounded daily. The Index returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

5

The 20%/65%/15% Blended Index is 20% Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index ex U.S., 65% Russell 3000® Index, and 15% Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The MSCI All Country World Index ex U.S. is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets and consists of 47 developed and emerging market country indices outside the United States. The Index is denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of gross dividends (which do not account for foreign dividend taxation) from the inception of the Series through December 31, 1998, as net returns were not available. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Index returns assume daily reinvestment of net dividends (thus accounting for foreign dividend taxation). The Barclays Capital U.S.Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that represents the U.S. domestic investment-grade bond market. It is a market value weighted index of investment-grade debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. The Index returns assume reinvestment of income. Both Indices’ returns, unlike Series returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses.

6

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Indices’ portfolios.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Series, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including potential wire charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2010, except for Class R Actual, which is from June 30, 2010* to October 31, 2010).

Actual Expenses

The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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 Actual line for the Class in which you have invested 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 Hypothetical lines of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series (unaudited)

 

**

Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period (except for the Series’ Class R Actual return information, which reflects the 123 day period ended October 31, 2010 due to its inception date of June 30, 2010). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratios stated above may differ from the expense ratios stated in the financial highlights, which is based on one-year data. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - equal emphasis on long-term growth of capital and preservation of capital. Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series - primary goal is long-term growth of capital; secondary goal is preservation of capital. Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series - primary goal is long-term growth of capital.

Each Series is authorized to issue six classes of shares (Class C (formerly Class B), R (formerly Class D), E, I, S and Z). Currently, only Class S, I, C and R shares have been issued. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class-specific transfer agency distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Shares of each Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 10.0 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Valuation

Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided by an independent pricing service. Certain investments in securities held by the Series may be valued on a basis of a price provided by a principal market maker. These prices may differ from the value that would have been used had a broader market for securities existed.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Security Valuation (continued)

Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measure fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Fund’s pricing service may be valued at fair value. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the Series apply fair value pricing on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities. Fair valuing of securities is determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations or factors based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures contracts, to adjust local market prices for subsequent movements through the time the Fund calculates its net asset value. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each equity security, except for those in the regions noted above, as Level 2 securities due to the fact the pricing service evaluated what factor was applied to the calculated end of day market price.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at market value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

*

Includes common stock, warrants and rights. Please see the Investment Portfolio for each Series for industry classification and for securities where a latest quoted sales price is not available and the latest quoted bid price was used to value the security or foreign securities that had International Fair Value factor applied from the pricing service. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.

 

**

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Investment Portfolio, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument. As of October 31, 2010, Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

 

***

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities still held at October 31, 2010 for the Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series and Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series was $0, $0 and $0, respectively, which is included in the related net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Funds had a significant amount of foreign equity securities transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 due to the implementation of new international fair value pricing procedures. The following is a summary of the foreign equity securities that transferred from Level 1 to Level 2:

Additional disclosure surrounding the activity in Level 3 fair value measurement will also be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management has concluded that this will not have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.

Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that Class.

The Series use the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series do not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Series may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge a portfolio position or specific transaction. Risks may arise if the counterparties to a contract are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the foreign currency moves unfavorably.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (continued)

All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency and, for financial statement purposes, any gain or loss is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until a contract has been closed. Realized and unrealized gain or loss arising from a transaction is included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments.

Each Series may regularly trade forward foreign currency exchange contracts with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The notional or contractual amount of these instruments represents the investment the Series have in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially at risk. The measurement of the risks associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. Investments in forward foreign currency exchange contacts held by each Series, if any, on October 31, 2010 are shown at the end of each Investment Portfolio, which is indicative of volume of derivative activity during the period.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment

Each Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment. These transactions involve a commitment by the Series to purchase securities for a predetermined price with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When such purchases are outstanding, the Series will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Series assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.

In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis, the Series may enter into forward roll transactions principally using To Be Announced (TBA) securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Series to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-backed pools. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series account for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Information regarding securities purchased on a when-issued basis is included in each applicable Series’ Investment Portfolio. None of the Series had TBA dollar rolls outstanding as of October 31, 2010.

Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Series’ Investment Portfolio.

Federal Taxes

Each Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Federal Taxes (continued)

Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At October 31, 2010, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2007 through October 31, 2010. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Additionally, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made semi-annually. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications

The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which each Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.60% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series and 0.75% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, of the Series’ average daily net assets.

Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended for each active series of the Fund plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

Class S shares of each Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of each Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.20% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class S and 0.25% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class S, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class S and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class S, of the Class’ average daily net assets. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2011, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than the following amounts, exclusive of shareholder services fees and distribution and service fees (12b-1), of average daily net assets each year:

In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses during the current fiscal year in order to keep total direct annual fund operating expenses from exceeding 0.90% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class S, 1.70% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class C, 1.10% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class S, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class S and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class S and 1.85% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class C, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class C and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class C, of the Class’ average daily net assets. The Advisor may change or eliminate all or part of its voluntary waiver at any time. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $14,252 for Class S, $254 for Class C and $5,717 for Class I of the Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Advisor voluntarily waived the following additional amounts which are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statements of Operations:

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. Each Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class C shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, each Series pays distribution and services fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 1.00% of average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares and an annual rate of 0.50% of daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. There are no distribution and services fees on the Class S or Class I shares of each Series. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.

For fund accounting and transfer agent services through November 7, 2009, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee of 0.055% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $4.5 billion, 0.03% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $4.5 billion and $7.5 billion, and 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets over $7.5 billion. Additionally, certain transaction and account-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. Prior to October 12, 2009 (sub-accountant) and November 9, 2009 (for sub-transfer agent), the Advisor had an agreement with Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) under which Citi served as the sub-accountant and sub-transfer agent.

The Advisor has entered into agreements dated October 12, 2009 and November 9, 2009 with PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“PNCGIS”) under which PNCGIS serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, respectively. Effective November 7, 2009 under the amended master services agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.0175% on the first $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); 0.015% on the next $3 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series); and 0.01% of the average daily net assets in excess of $6 billion (excluding Target Series); plus a base fee of $25,500 per Series. Transfer Agent fees are charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction-, cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

Effective July 1, 2010, PNCGIS, which serves as the Series’ sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent, was sold to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Series’ custodian. At the close of the sale, PNCGIS changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”).

Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivatives counterparties failure to perform under contract terms, liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s) and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series on October 31, 2010, except forward foreign currency exchange contracts, held by Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series and Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series, as shown at the end of each Investment Portfolio.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.

 

8.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of net investment income or gains and losses, including foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, market discount, and investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), real estate investment trusts, and hybrid securities. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations, without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

The tax character of distributions paid were as follows:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolios, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series (each a series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc., hereafter collectively referred to as the “Series”) at October 31, 2010, and the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
