EQUITY SERIES

 


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders:

Market momentum has been driven by sentiment and macroeconomic news over the past twelve months. The year started on a strong note, with equities rallying from the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 amid optimism about positive economic developments. However, the markets fluctuated during the second quarter as investors reacted to a series of external shocks, including the Middle East crisis and Japan natural disaster. Volatility accelerated significantly during the third quarter of 2011 driven by a combination of inconsistent economic data, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and escalating tensions across much of Europe. These stresses resulted in widespread pessimism, a broad decline in investors’ risk appetite, and a notable market pull-back. Nonetheless, the ebb and flow continued into October, with stocks bouncing back meaningfully over the last month of the fiscal year.

Despite pronounced swings, the U.S. equity markets advanced over the last year. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2011, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.09%, while the Russell 3000® Index earned 7.90%.

Over the current stock market cycle, which includes the equity bull market 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 8.99% over the current cycle, the Equity Series has outpaced the Russell 3000’s annualized return of 7.53%. While the Equity Series posted a 3.30% return for the year ending October 31, 2011, the Series trailed the Russell 3000® benchmark over the last twelve months.

In such a volatile environment, Manning & Napier believes investment decision-making needs to be cognizant of the macro but driven by the micro. This means understanding the economic cycle is beneficial, but a focus on industry and company fundamentals remains as important as ever. While equity valuations are generally neutral, many well-positioned and growing companies are trading at attractive levels. Indeed, using our disciplined stock selection strategies, Manning & Napier continues to identify specific investment opportunities on a company by company basis.

Over the last twelve months, the Equity Series generally benefited from sector positioning while specific equity selections challenged relative performance. During the period the Series maintained a smaller position in the Financials sector than the benchmark as concern over capital levels and asset quality continue to weigh on the long term outlook for the sector, and the banking industry in particular. The Series maintained a comparatively large allocation to the Consumer Discretionary sector during the year, and combined with the underweight to Financials, this positioning aided returns relative to the Russell 3000® Index benchmark. Smaller positions as compared to the benchmark in the Utilities and Energy sectors challenged the Series’ relative performance, but this was offset by advantageous sector positioning in other areas. With regard to equity selection, specific holdings in the Industrials sector challenged returns relative to the benchmark. As an example, certain airline industry investments performed poorly, yet we believe the companies we own are in a position to benefit from major capacity cuts throughout the struggling industry. Strong relative performance of holdings in the Health Care sector helped relative returns, but this was unable to overcome weaker individual stock performance in other areas.

Today, growth is scarce and in our view companies cannot rely on a boost from the broader economy. As a result, we are targeting businesses that have well-defined, compelling long-term growth-drivers. In many cases, these are multinational companies that are successfully competing in foreign markets around the world. For example, we have invested in several premier Technology companies that are gaining share in large, growing markets and benefiting from long-term global trends such as growth in mobile data services, cloud computing, e-commerce, and increased wireless connectivity.

While our slow growth view remains in place, we remind investors that embedded in our outlook is the potential for shorter economic cycles and ongoing shifts in investor sentiment. A slow growth economy is more susceptible to shocks and we’ve witnessed several this year (i.e., Middle East crisis, Japan disaster, Eurozone debt flare-up, U.S. budget debate) that broadly influenced investor confidence and risk appetite. Amidst the volatility, it is important to think about

the long-term and focus on fundamentals. Manning & Napier has over four decades of experience navigating difficult market environments, and we believe our disciplined investment process makes us well-equipped to endure the challenges in today’s environment.

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

Performance numbers for the Series and Index are calculated from May 1, 1998, the Collective’s inception date (see Note 4 below).

3 

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, 2011, 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, 2011.

4 

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.

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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.

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, LLC (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 1, 2011, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. acted as the investment advisor to the Fund. Effective October 1, 2011, the investment advisory business of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. was transferred to Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC, which then became the investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor assumed all rights and responsibilities of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. with respect to the investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The appointment of the Advisor did not change the portfolio management team, investment strategies, investment advisory fees charged to the series of the Fund or the terms of the investment advisory agreement (other than the identity of 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, 2011, 7.4 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 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 fair 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 Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as 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”). 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.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and

Security Valuation (continued)

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, 2011 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

Includes common stock, warrants and rights.

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2010 or October 31, 2011.

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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Standard

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to 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 Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)

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.

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, 2011, 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, 2008 through October 31, 2011. The Series 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 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

 

16     


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Other (continued)

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 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 plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2012, 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 $418,332 for the year ended October 31, 2011, which is 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.

The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. 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 and cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

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, 2011, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $1,327,229,871 and $982,712,959, 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, which 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 derivative 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 as of October 31, 2011.

 

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, 2011, 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TAX MANAGED SERIES

 


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders:

Market momentum has been driven by sentiment and macroeconomic news over the past twelve months. The year started on a strong note, with equities rallying from the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 amid optimism about positive economic developments. However, the markets fluctuated during the second quarter as investors reacted to a series of external shocks, including the Middle East crisis and Japan natural disaster. Volatility accelerated significantly during the third quarter of 2011 driven by a combination of inconsistent economic data, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and escalating tensions across much of Europe. These stresses resulted in widespread pessimism, a broad decline in investors’ risk appetite, and a notable market pull-back. Nonetheless, the ebb and flow continued into October, with stocks bouncing back meaningfully over the last month of the fiscal year.

Despite pronounced swings, the U.S. equity markets advanced over the last year. For the twelve months ending October 2011, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.09%, while the Russell 3000 earned 7.90%. Similar to domestic equities, there was substantial volatility in international stocks over the last year, but some foreign indices finished the period lower. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. Index (ACWIxUS) fell 4.66% in the year ended October 31, 2011.

Over the current stock market cycle, which includes the equity bull market 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 8.29% over the current full cycle, the Series has outpaced the Russell 3000 index benchmark’s annualized return of 7.53%. For the last twelve months, performance of the Tax Managed Series has been more challenging on both an absolute and relative basis. In the year through October 2011 the Series returned 0.08% versus the aforementioned 7.90% return for the Russell 3000 index.

In such a volatile environment, Manning & Napier believes investment decision-making needs to be cognizant of the macro but driven by the micro. This means understanding the economic cycle is beneficial, but a focus on industry and company fundamentals remains as important as ever. While equity valuations are generally neutral, many well-positioned and growing companies are trading at attractive levels. Indeed, using our disciplined stock selection strategies, Manning & Napier continues to identify specific investment opportunities on a company by company basis.

Over the last twelve months, the Series’ relative returns generally benefited from sector positioning while specific equity selections challenged performance relative to the benchmark. During the period the Series maintained comparatively large positions to the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors relative to the benchmark. This positioning, in addition to a comparatively small position to the Financials sector, aided the Series’ relative returns in the year through October. In contrast, a smaller position in the Utilities sector relative to the benchmark generally detracted from relative performance during the year. With regard to equity selection, specific holdings in the Energy and Industrials sectors challenged returns relative to the benchmark. As an example, in the Industrials sector certain airline company investments performed poorly, yet we believe the businesses we own are in a position to benefit from major capacity cuts throughout the struggling industry. That being said, strong relative performance of Series holdings in the Health Care sector helped relative returns, but this was unable to overcome weaker individual stock performance in other areas.

Today, growth is scarce and in our view companies cannot rely on a boost from the broader economy. As a result, we are targeting businesses that have well-defined, compelling long-term growth-drivers. In many cases, these are multinational companies that are successfully competing in foreign markets around the world. For example, we have invested in several premier Technology companies that are gaining share in large, growing markets and benefiting from long-term global trends such as growth in mobile data services, cloud computing, e-commerce, and increased wireless connectivity.

While our slow growth view remains in place, we remind investors that embedded in our outlook is the potential for shorter economic cycles and ongoing shifts in investor sentiment. A slow growth economy is more susceptible to shocks

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

and we’ve witnessed several this year (i.e., Middle East crisis, Japan disaster, Eurozone debt flare-up, U.S. budget debate) that broadly influenced investor confidence and risk appetite. Amidst the volatility, it is important to think about the long-term and focus on fundamentals. Manning & Napier has over four decades of experience navigating difficult market environments, and we believe our disciplined investment process makes us well-equipped to endure the challenges in today’s environment.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

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

3 

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, 2011, 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 1.24% for the year ended October 31, 2011.

4 

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.

5 

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

6 

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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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        $ 1,019.16        $ 6.11  

 

*

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

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, LLC (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 1, 2011, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. acted as the investment advisor to the Fund. Effective October 1, 2011, the investment advisory business of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. was transferred to Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC, which then became the investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor assumed all rights and responsibilities of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. with respect to the investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The appointment of the Advisor did not change the portfolio management team, investment strategies, investment advisory fees charged to the series of the Fund or the terms of the investment advisory agreement (other than the identity of 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, 2011, 7.4 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 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 fair 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 Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as 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”). 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

Security Valuation (continued)

 

at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. 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 foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair 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, 2011 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

Includes common stock, warrants and rights. Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2010 or October 31, 2011.

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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Standard

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Standard (continued)

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to 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 Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair 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 fair 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 taxing authorities. At October 31, 2011, 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Federal Taxes (continued)

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, 2008 through October 31, 2011. The Series 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 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 plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2012, 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 $20,933 for the year ended October 31, 2011, which is 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

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.

The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. 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 and cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

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, 2011, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $31,229,002 and $28,360,794, 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, which 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 derivative 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 as of October 31, 2011.

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.

The tax character of distributions paid were as follows:

 

      For the  Year
Ended
10/31/11
   For the  Year
Ended
10/31/10

Ordinary income

     $ 135,784        $ 50,092  

At October 31, 2011, the tax basis of components of distributable earnings and the net unrealized appreciation based on identified cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

     $ 41,218,414  

Unrealized appreciation

     $ 7,679,091  

Unrealized depreciation

       (840,815 )

The capital loss carryover, disclosed above, available to the extent allowed by tax law to offset future net capital gain, if any, will expire as follows:

    $ 1,141,000

    $ 1,769,992

    $ 1,085,170     

October 31, 2019

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year beginning after October 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers.

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, 2011, 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dear Shareholders:

Market momentum has been driven by sentiment and macroeconomic news over the past twelve months. The year started on a strong note, with equities rallying from the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 amid optimism about positive economic developments. However, the markets fluctuated during the second quarter as investors reacted to a series of external shocks, including the Middle East crisis and Japan natural disaster. Volatility accelerated significantly during the third quarter of 2011 driven by a combination of inconsistent economic data, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and escalating tensions across much of Europe. These stresses resulted in widespread pessimism, a broad decline in investors’ risk appetite, and a notable market pull-back. Nonetheless, the ebb and flow continued into October, with stocks bouncing back meaningfully over the last month of the fiscal year.

Despite pronounced swings, the U.S. equity markets advanced over the last year. For the twelve months ended October 2011, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.09%, aided by the double-digit rebound in October. Similar to domestic equities, international stocks experienced heightened volatility over the past year. However, foreign equity returns did not overcome the large third quarter market decline. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. Index (ACWI x US) finished the year down 4.66%. While some volatility spilled over into the fixed income markets, in general bonds produced steadier returns, with the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index earning 5.00% over the past year.

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. Relative returns of the Target Income Series (i.e., the most fixed income oriented Series) also trailed its blended benchmark over the current stock market cycle. The Class C shares of the Target 2010 Series also experienced lagging relative returns over the current cycle. Meanwhile, all remaining Target Series continue to outperform their respective blended benchmarks over the most recent full cycle.

For the twelve months ending October 31, 2011, each of the Target Series produced positive returns, with the exception of the Class C shares of the Target 2040 and Target 2050 Series, which experienced slightly negative returns. However, all six Target Series lagged their respective blended benchmarks over the one-year period.

In such a volatile environment, Manning & Napier believes investment decision-making needs to be cognizant of the macro but driven by the micro. This means understanding the economic cycle is beneficial, but a focus on industry and company fundamentals remains as important as ever. While equity valuations are generally neutral, many well-positioned and growing companies are trading at attractive levels. Indeed, using our disciplined stock selection strategies, Manning & Napier continues to identify specific investment opportunities on a company by company basis.

Consequently, over the past year each of the Target Series maintained a higher allocation to equities than its blended benchmark. These higher relative allocations detracted from returns relative to the Series’ respective blended benchmarks. Within the underlying equity portion of the Target Series’ portfolios, we continue to emphasize growth. In an environment in which growth is scarce and companies cannot rely on a boost from the broader economy, we are targeting those businesses that have well-defined, compelling long-term growth-drivers. In many cases, these are multinational companies that are successfully competing in foreign markets around the world. For example, we have invested in several premier Technology companies that are gaining share in large, growing markets and benefiting from long-term global trends such as growth in mobile data services, cloud computing, e-commerce, and increased wireless connectivity. As a result, all six of the Target Series have comparatively large positions in Technology relative to their respective blended benchmarks. Similarly, each of the Target Series has a greater weight to the Consumer Staples sector than the benchmark as we continue to focus on first-class Consumer Staples companies that have a global presence and are expanding into faster-growing foreign markets. Both of these allocation decisions benefited the Target Series’ relative results.

Meanwhile, individual stock selections were the primary reason for the Target Series’ relative underperformance over the last year. In particular, security selections in the Industrials, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted from returns relative to the benchmarks over the one-year period. Within the Industrials sector, certain airline industry investments performed poorly, yet we believe the companies we own are in a position to benefit from major capacity cuts throughout the struggling industry. As for the Energy sector, we continue to favor specific oil services companies, as we see attractive long-term fundamentals in this area. When sentiment became overwhelmingly pessimistic during the summer, many of these companies were impacted by commodity price volatility and the broad slowdown in global growth expectations.

Within the underlying fixed income portion of the Series’ portfolios, we continue to favor credit sectors such as corporate bonds. The Target 2030 and Target 2020 Series, which are geared towards growth, and the Target 2010 and Income Series, which are respectively managed to reduce volatility and preserve capital, all maintained a relative overweight to investment grade corporate securities, with exposure to high yield bonds as well. The Target 2050 and Target 2040 Series, which are the most growth oriented Series and have the lowest allocation to fixed income securities, also maintained a noteworthy exposure to investment grade corporate bonds. In contrast, each of the Series maintains a relative underweight to Treasuries, as we do not have a positive outlook on the underlying fundamentals in the Treasury market. This overall positioning helped results during the first half of 2011 as corporate bonds performed relatively well. However, as volatility intensified during the summer and into the fall, Treasuries benefited from a flight to quality. Given the Series’ relatively low allocation to Treasuries, this hurt relative returns.

While our slow growth view remains in place, we remind investors that embedded in our outlook is the potential for shorter economic cycles and ongoing shifts in investor sentiment. A slow growth economy is more susceptible to shocks and we’ve witnessed several this year (i.e., Middle East crisis, Japan disaster, Eurozone debt flare-up, U.S. budget debate) that broadly influenced investor confidence and risk appetite. Amidst the volatility, it is important to think about the long-term and focus on fundamentals. Manning & Napier has over four decades of experience navigating difficult market environments, and we believe our disciplined investment process makes us well-equipped to endure the challenges in today’s environment.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC

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.

The Target 2040 Blended Index is a 20%/65%/15% Blended Index which is made up of 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 county indices outside the United States. The Index is denominated in U.S. Dollars. The Index returns assume daily reinvestment of net dividends (which do account 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.

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

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

Performance numbers for the Series are calculated from March 28, 2008, the Series’ inception date. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a component of the Target 2050 Blended Index, only publishes month-end numbers; therefore, performance numbers for the Index are calculated from March 31, 2008.

3 

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, 2011, this net expense ratio was 0.30% for Class K, 0.55% for Class R, 1.05% for Class C and 0.05% for Class I. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 0.84% for Class K, 1.09% for Class R, 1.60% for Class C and 0.62% for Class I for the year ended October 31, 2011.

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.

The Target 2050 Blended Index is a 20%/65%/15% Blended Index which is made up of 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 county indices outside the United States.

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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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. 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.

Assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

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 0.69%.

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 

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%.

8 

Annualized.

9 

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

10 

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

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 ratios of the underlying series were 0.69% for Manning & Napier Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series - Class I and 0.82% for Manning & Napier Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - Class I.

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 

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratio of the underlying series was 0.84%.

8 

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratio of the underlying series was 0.85%.

9 

Annualized.

10

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

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratios of the underlying series were 0.82% for Manning & Napier Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - Class I and 0.83% for Manning & Napier Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series - Class I.

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.

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratios of the underlying series were 0.84% for Manning & Napier Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series - Class I and 0.83% for Manning & Napier Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series - Class I.

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.

6

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratio of the underlying series was 0.84%.

7

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.

Expense ratios do not include expenses of the underlying series in which the Series invests. The expense ratio of the underlying series was 0.85%.

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, LLC (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 1, 2011, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. acted as the investment advisor to the Fund. Effective October 1, 2011, the investment advisory business of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. was transferred to Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC, which then became the investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor assumed all rights and responsibilities of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. with respect to the investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The appointment of the Advisor did not change the portfolio management team, investment strategies, investment advisory fees charged to the series of the Fund or the terms of the investment advisory agreement (other than the identity of 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, 2011, 7.4 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 10 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class C common stock and 40 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class K, I 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 Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. 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

Security Valuation (continued)

 

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.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair 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, 2011 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by any of the Series as of October 31, 2010 or October 31, 2011.

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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Standard

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to 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 value of the securities received. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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, 2011, the Series have 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 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, 2011. 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

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 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, 2011, the Advisor reimbursed expenses of $109,376 for Target Income Series, $115,841 for Target 2010 Series, $98,879 for Target 2020 Series, $99,184 for Target 2030 Series, $105,975 for Target 2040 Series and $120,335 for Target 2050 Series, which is 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.

The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. The fee rates for these Series are as follows: An annual fee related to Fund Accounting and administration of 0.0025% 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.

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 which 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 as of October 31, 2011.

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.

The tax character of distributions were as follows:

At October 31, 2011, Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 Series had capital loss carryovers of $1,390 and $2,359, respectively, which are subject to limitations under Section 382-384 of The Internal Revenue Code, and are available to the extent allowed by tax law to offset future net capital gains, if any, which will expire on October 31, 2017 for both the Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 Series.

Target 2040 Series and Target 2050 Series utilized $2,789 and $675, respectively, in capital loss carryovers in the current year.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Series’ fiscal year beginning after October 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Series’ pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers.

DIVIDEND FOCUS SERIES

 


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders:

Market momentum has been driven by sentiment and macroeconomic news over the past twelve months. The year started on a strong note, with equities rallying from the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 amid optimism about positive economic developments. However, the markets fluctuated during the second quarter as investors reacted to a series of external shocks, including the Middle East crisis and Japan natural disaster. Volatility accelerated significantly during the third quarter of 2011 driven by a combination of inconsistent economic data, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and escalating tensions across much of Europe. These stresses resulted in widespread pessimism, a broad decline in investors’ risk appetite, and a notable market pull-back. Nonetheless, the ebb and flow continued into October, with stocks bouncing back meaningfully over the last month of the fiscal year.

Despite pronounced swings, the U.S. equity markets advanced over the last year. For the twelve months ended October 2011, the Russell 3000® Index gained 7.90%, aided by the double-digit rebound in October. Growth stocks generally exceeded value stocks, with the Russell 1000® Value Index earning 6.16% over the one-year period and the Russell 1000® Growth Index returning 9.92%. In this volatile market environment, the Dividend Focus Series produced strong absolute and relative returns. At 10.17%, the Series’ results outpaced 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. The Series seeks to provide competitive equity returns, as well as dampening volatility during market downturns. Given this risk aversion, the Series has less than a 1% allocation to the Financials sector, which continues to face macroeconomic challenges such as indebted consumers, persistently high unemployment, a fragile housing market, and continued loan losses. This near avoidance of financial companies noticeably boosted performance relative to the benchmark over the past year.

The Series benefited from several other sector allocation decisions as well. In particular, the Series had larger allocations to the Health Care and Energy sectors than the benchmark, which aided relative results for the one-year period ending October 2011. Meanwhile, individual stock selections had a generally neutral impact on the Series’ relative returns.

Despite ups and downs over the past year, Manning & Napier maintains a slow growth view of the economy. However, we remind investors that embedded in our outlook is the potential for shorter economic cycles and ongoing shifts in investor sentiment. A slow growth economy is more susceptible to shocks that broadly influence investor confidence and risk appetite, and we’ve witnessed several this year (i.e., Middle East crisis, Japan disaster, Eurozone debt flare-up, U.S. budget debate). Amidst the volatility, we believe it is important to not get caught up in short-term fluctuations and instead to focus on the fundamentals.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC

The following graph compares the value of a $10,000 investment in the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. - Dividend Focus Series from its inception2 (November 7, 2008) to present (October 31, 2011) to the Russell 1000® Value Index and the S&P 500 Total Return Index.

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

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

3 

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, 2011, 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 1.05% for the year ended October 31, 2011.

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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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.

     $ 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.

ORGANIZATION

Dividend Focus Series (the “Series”) is a no-load non-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 competitive returns consistent with the broad equity market while providing a level of capital protection during market downturns through a passive quantitative investment approach.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 1, 2011, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. acted as the investment advisor to the Fund. Effective October 1, 2011, the investment advisory business of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. was transferred to Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC, which then became the investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor assumed all rights and responsibilities of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. with respect to the investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The appointment of the Advisor did not change the portfolio management team, investment strategies, investment advisory fees charged to the series of the Fund or the terms of the investment advisory agreement (other than the identity of 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, 2011, 7.4 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Dividend Focus 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 fair 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 Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as 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”). 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.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair 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, 2011 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2010 or October 31, 2011.

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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Standard

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,“Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Series’ financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair 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 fair 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, 2011, 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 years ended October 31, 2010 through October 31, 2011. The Series 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 it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

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 plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2012, 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 $96,914 for the year ended October 31, 2011, which is 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.

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 derivative 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 as of October 31, 2011.

 

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.

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 in come 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
Ended 10/31/11
   For the Year
Ended 10/31/10

Ordinary income

     $   467,218        $   66,177  

Long-term capital gains

       200,328          66  

At October 31, 2011, the tax basis of components of distributable earnings and the net unrealized depreciation based on identified cost of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Cost for federal income tax purposes

     $  79,804,476  

Unrealized appreciation

     $ 1,301,981  

Unrealized depreciation

       (2,180,024 )
    

 

 

 

Net unrealized depreciation

     $ (878,043 )
    

 

 

 

Undistributed ordinary income

       164,192  

Undistributed long-term capital gains

       172,524  

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, which will retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Series’ fiscal year beginning after October 31, 2011. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund will be contained within this section of the Fund’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2012 financial statements.

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, 2011, 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 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OVERSEAS SERIES

 


Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders:

Market momentum has been driven by sentiment and macroeconomic news over the past twelve months. The year started on a strong note, with equities rallying from the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 amid optimism about positive economic developments. However, the markets fluctuated during the second quarter as investors reacted to a series of external shocks, including the Middle East crisis and Japan natural disaster. Volatility accelerated significantly during the third quarter of 2011 driven by a combination of inconsistent economic data, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and escalating tensions across much of Europe. These stresses resulted in widespread pessimism, a broad decline in investors’ risk appetite, and a notable market pull-back. Nonetheless, the ebb and flow continued into October, with stocks bouncing back meaningfully over the last month of the fiscal year.

Amid the substantial increase in market volatility during the year, international equities generally declined in the twelve months through October 2011. Stocks rallied sharply in the last month of the period, but the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. (ACWIxUS) still lost ground over the past year, falling 4.66%.

The Overseas Series also experienced declines over the past twelve months, falling 5.61%. That being said, 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 11.37% compared to an 11.24% return for the MSCI ACWIxUS benchmark.

Over the last twelve months, the Overseas Series generally benefited from sector positioning while specific equity selections challenged relative performance. During the period the Series maintained a smaller allocation to the Financials sector as compared to the benchmark as concern over capital levels and asset quality continue to weigh on the long term outlook for the sector, particularly in the European banking industry. Defensive sectors generally outperformed during the year, and this helped the Series on a relative basis owing to its larger position in the Consumer Staples sector relative to the MSCI ACWIxUS index benchmark. A comparatively small position in the Telecommunication Services sector challenged the Series’ relative performance, but this was more than offset by advantageous sector positioning in other areas. With regard to equity selection, specific holdings in the Industrials sector challenged returns relative to the benchmark. As an example, certain airline company investments performed poorly, yet we believe the businesses we own are in a position to benefit from major capacity cuts throughout the struggling industry. In contrast, strong relative performance of holdings in the Materials sector helped relative returns, but this was unable to overcome weaker individual stock performance in other areas.

From a regional and country perspective, the Series’ underweight allocation to Emerging Markets relative to the benchmark was a positive relative performance contributor over the past year. Similarly, comparatively large positions in developed European nations such as Switzerland, Germany, and Ireland aided relative returns, but comparatively small positions to Japan and Korea offset some of this benefit. While the Overseas Series continues to have a small position in Emerging Markets relative to the MSCI ACWIxUS benchmark, the Series took advantage of long-term investment opportunities identified in countries including Brazil and China.

Today, growth is scarce and in our view companies cannot rely on a boost from the broader economy. As a result, we are targeting businesses that have well-defined, compelling long-term growth-drivers. In many cases, these are multinational companies that are successfully competing in foreign markets around the world. For example, we have invested in several premier Technology companies that are gaining share in large, growing markets and benefiting from long-term global trends such as growth in mobile data services, cloud computing, e-commerce, and increased wireless connectivity.

While our slow growth view remains in place, we remind investors that embedded in our outlook is the potential for shorter economic cycles and ongoing shifts in investor sentiment. A slow growth economy is more susceptible to shocks and we’ve witnessed several this year (i.e., Middle East crisis, Japan disaster, Eurozone debt flare-up, U.S. budget

debate) that broadly influenced investor confidence and risk appetite. Amidst the volatility, it is important to think about the long-term and focus on fundamentals. Manning & Napier has over four decades of experience navigating difficult market environments, and we believe our disciplined investment process makes us well-equipped to endure the challenges in today’s environment.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

Performance numbers for the Series are calculated from September 23, 1998, the Collective’s inception date (see Note 4 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.

3 

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, 2011, 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, 2011.

4 

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.

5 

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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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 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, LLC (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 1, 2011, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. acted as the investment advisor to the Fund. Effective October 1, 2011, the investment advisory business of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. was transferred to Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC, which then became the investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor assumed all rights and responsibilities of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. with respect to the investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The appointment of the Advisor did not change the portfolio management team, investment strategies, investment advisory fees charged to the series of the Fund or the terms of the investment advisory agreement (other than the identity of 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, 2011, 7.4 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 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 fair 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 Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as 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”). 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. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models,

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Security Valuation (continued)

which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. 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 foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair 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, 2011 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of October 31, 2010 or October 31, 2011.

 

  

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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Standard

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Standard (continued)

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to 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 Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair 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 fair 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 taxing authorities. At October 31, 2011, 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Federal Taxes (continued)

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, 2008 through October 31, 2011. The Series 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 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 plus a fee for each committee meeting attended.

The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2012, 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 $137,029 for the year ended October 31, 2011, which is 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

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.

The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. 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 and cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

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, 2011, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $946,405,849 and $405,959,717, 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, which 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 derivative 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 as of October 31, 2011.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) 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. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, $847,070 was reclassified within the capital amounts from Accumulated Net Realized Gain on Investments to Undistributed Net Investment Income. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

The tax character of distributions paid were as follows:

     $ 9,632,273        $ 4,177,043  

At October 31, 2011, the tax basis of components of distributable earnings and the net unrealized depreciation based on the identified cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, which will retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Series’ fiscal year beginning after October 31, 2011.

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, 2011, 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders:

Market momentum has been driven by sentiment and macroeconomic news over the past twelve months. The year started on a strong note, with equities rallying from the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 amid optimism about positive economic developments. However, the markets fluctuated during the second quarter as investors reacted to a series of external shocks, including the Middle East crisis and Japan natural disaster. Volatility accelerated significantly during the third quarter of 2011 driven by a combination of inconsistent economic data, a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, and escalating tensions across much of Europe. These stresses resulted in widespread pessimism, a broad decline in investors’ risk appetite, and a notable market pull-back. Nonetheless, the ebb and flow continued into October, with stocks bouncing back meaningfully over the last month of the fiscal year.

Despite pronounced swings, the U.S. equity markets advanced over the last year. For the twelve months ended October 2011, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.09%, aided by the double-digit rebound in October. Similar to domestic equities, international stocks experienced heightened volatility over the past year. However, foreign equity returns did not overcome the large third quarter market decline. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. Index (ACWI x US) finished the year down 4.66%. While some volatility spilled over into the fixed income markets, in general bonds produced steadier returns, with the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index earning 5.00% over the past year.

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. On a relative basis, the Conservative Term Series (i.e., the most fixed income oriented Series) has trailed its blended benchmark over the current stock market cycle. Relative returns of the Class C shares of the Moderate Term Series also trailed the blended benchmark over the current cycle. Meanwhile, the other Moderate Term Series share classes, the Extended Term Series, and the Maximum Term Series each continue to outperform their respective blended benchmarks over the most recent full cycle.

For the twelve months ending October 31, 2011, each of the Pro-Blend® Series produced positive returns. However, all four lagged their respective blended benchmarks over the one-year period.

In such a volatile environment, Manning & Napier believes investment decision-making needs to be cognizant of the macro but driven by the micro. This means understanding the economic cycle is beneficial, but a focus on industry and company fundamentals remains as important as ever. While equity valuations are generally neutral, many well-positioned and growing companies are trading at attractive levels. Indeed, using our disciplined stock selection strategies, Manning & Napier continues to identify specific investment opportunities on a company by company basis. Consequently, over the past year each of the Pro-Blend Series maintained a higher allocation to equities than its blended benchmark. These higher relative allocations detracted from returns relative to the blended benchmarks.

Within the equity portion of the Pro-Blend Series’ portfolios, we continue to emphasize growth. In an environment in which growth is scarce and companies cannot rely on a boost from the broader economy, we are targeting those businesses that have well-defined, compelling long-term growth-drivers. In many cases, these are multinational companies that are successfully competing in foreign markets around the world. For example, we have invested in several premier Technology companies that are gaining share in large, growing markets and benefiting from long-term global trends such as growth in mobile data services, cloud computing, e-commerce, and increased wireless connectivity. As a result, all four of the Pro-Blend Series have larger positions in Technology relative to their respective blended benchmarks. Similarly, each of the Pro-Blend Series has a greater weight to the Consumer Staples sector than the benchmark as we continue to focus on first-class Consumer Staples companies that have a global presence and are expanding into faster-growing foreign markets. Both of these allocation decisions benefited the Pro-Blend Series’ relative results.

Management Discussion and Analysis (unaudited)

 

Meanwhile, individual stock selections were the primary reason for the Pro-Blend Series’ relative underperformance over the last year. In particular, security selections in the Industrials, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted from returns relative to the benchmarks over the one-year period. Within the Industrials sector, certain airline industry investments performed poorly, yet we believe the companies we own are in a position to benefit from major capacity cuts throughout the struggling industry. As for the Energy sector, we continue to favor specific oil services companies, as we see attractive long-term fundamentals in this area. When sentiment became overwhelmingly pessimistic during the summer, many of these companies were impacted by commodity price volatility and the broad slowdown in global growth expectations.

Within the fixed income portion of the Series’ portfolios, we continue to favor sectors such as corporate bonds. The Conservative Term Series, Moderate Term Series, and Extended Term Series maintained a relative overweight to investment grade corporate securities when compared to the blended benchmarks, with exposure to high yield bonds as well. The Maximum Term Series, with an average of just 15% in bonds, also had a noteworthy allocation to investment grade corporate bonds. In contrast, each of the Series maintained a relative underweight to Treasuries, as we do not have a positive outlook on the underlying fundamentals in the Treasury market. This overall positioning helped results during the first half of 2011 as corporate bonds performed relatively well. However, as volatility intensified during the summer and into the fall, Treasuries benefited from a flight to quality. Given the Series’ relatively low allocation to Treasuries, this hurt relative returns.

While our slow growth view remains in place, we remind investors that embedded in our outlook is the potential for shorter economic cycles and ongoing shifts in investor sentiment. A slow growth economy is more susceptible to shocks and we’ve witnessed several this year (i.e., Middle East crisis, Japan disaster, Eurozone debt flare-up, U.S. budget debate) that broadly influenced investor confidence and risk appetite. Amidst the volatility, it is important to think about the long-term and focus on fundamentals. Manning & Napier has over four decades of experience navigating difficult market environments, and we believe our disciplined investment process makes us well-equipped to endure the challenges in today’s environment.

As always, we appreciate your business.

Sincerely,

Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

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, 2011, this net expense ratio was 0.89% for Class S, 0.69% for Class I, 1.69% for Class C and 1.19% for Class R. The gross expense ratio, which does not account for any voluntary or contractual waivers currently in effect, was 0.89% for Class S, 0.69% for Class I, 1.69% for Class C and 1.19% for Class R for the year ended October 31, 2011.

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.

6 

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 Index’s 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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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.

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

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.

3 

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, 2011, this net expense ratio was 1.07% for Class S, 0.82% for Class I, 1.82% for Class C and 1.32% 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, 0.82% for Class I, 1.82% for class C and 1.32% for Class R for the year ended October 31, 2011.

4 

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.

5 

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.

6 

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.

7 

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Index’s 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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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. 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.

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

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.

3 

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, 2011, this net expense ratio was 1.08% 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 1.08% 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, 2011.

4 

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.

5 

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.

6 

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.

7 

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Index’s 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, 2011 to October 31, 2011).

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. 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.

1 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 

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

3 

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, 2011, 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, 2011.

4 

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.

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.

6 

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.

7 

Because the Series’ asset allocation will vary over time, the composition of the Series’ portfolio may not match the composition of the comparative Index’s 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, 2011).

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. 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.

ORGANIZATION

Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term 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.

The Series are asset allocation funds. Each invests in a combination of stocks, bonds and cash and is managed according to specific goals. The goals are as follows: Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series-primary goal is preservation of capital; secondary goal is long-term growth of capital. 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, LLC (the “Advisor”). Prior to October 1, 2011, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. acted as the investment advisor to the Fund. Effective October 1, 2011, the investment advisory business of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. was transferred to Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC, which then became the investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor assumed all rights and responsibilities of Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc. with respect to the investment advisory agreement with the Fund. The appointment of the Advisor did not change the portfolio management team, investment strategies, investment advisory fees charged to the series of the Fund or the terms of the investment advisory agreement (other than the identity of 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, 2011, 7.4 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 162.5 million have been designated as Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class S common stock, 75 million have been designated as Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class I common stock, 125 million each have been designated as Class S common stock and Class I common stock for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, 125 million each have been designated as Class S common stock for Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, 200 million each have been designated as Class I common stock for Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, 25 million each have been designated as Class C common stock for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series and 2.5 million each have been designated as Class R common stock for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series.

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. The pricing services use multiple valuation

techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as a benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated defaulted rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Certain investments in securities held by the Series may be valued on a basis of a price provided directly 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 fair 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 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 Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as 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”). 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. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. 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 foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair 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.

There were no Level 3 securities held by any of the Pro-Blend® Series as of October 31, 2011.

 

  

Additionally, the Pro-Blend® Maximum Series did not have Level 3 securities as of October 31, 2010 as well.

 

*

Includes common stock, warrants and rights. Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. 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, 2011, Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series did not hold any derivative instruments.

 

  

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 transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

 

  

Certain investments were transferred out of Level 3 to Level 2 at October 31, 2011. This reclassification between valuation levels was the result of utilizing significant observable inputs in the valuation of these securities at October 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Standard

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,

“Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Standard (continued)

Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs will be required.

ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, but does not expect it to 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 Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair 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.

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts (continued)

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, 2011 are shown at the end of each Investment Portfolio. The average volume of derivative activity (measured in terms of notional) during the year ended October 31, 2011 was $438,629, $1,133,053 and $1,127,399 for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series and Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series, respectively.

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, 2011.

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, 2011, the Series have 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 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, 2011. 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 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 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, 2012, 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, 1.20% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series Class R, 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, 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 and 1.35% for Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series Class R, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series Class R and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series Class R, of the Class’ average daily net assets. The Advisor may change or eliminate all or part of its voluntary waiver at any time. For the year ended October 31, 2011, the Advisor did not waive fees or reimburse expenses for any of the Series.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (continued)

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. Each Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class C and Class R 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.

The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. 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 and cusip-based fees and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged.

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

The Target 2040 Series, another series of the Fund, owned 6,279,961 shares of Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series (11.3% of shares outstanding) valued at $63,553,204. Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Series.

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 which 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 derivative 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 as of October 31, 2011, 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.

 

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 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 Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year beginning after October 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and Shareholders of - Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series:

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, 2011, 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
