Dear Shareholder,
As you may know, in April Managers Investment Group launched a new Web site at www.managersinvest.com. The new site provides you with expanded information on The Managers Funds, especially the people, philosophy and process behind each of the Funds. We invite you to visit the site and bookmark it for future reference.
I am pleased to report that on March 22, 2005, The Managers Funds was named Best Fixed Income Group in the smaller fund family category by Lipper, the mutual fund research and analysis company. The Lipper Fund Awards recognize fund families that deliver consistently strong relative performance for their fund shareholders. The Lipper Fund Award 2005 that we received was given for our performance last year, before the Fremont Funds joined our fund family.
The Managers Funds was honored for the performance of six of our fixed income funds, including U.S. and foreign corporate, high yield, short- and long-duration, and government bond funds. In the fixed income asset class, The Managers Funds competed with 78 other eligible smaller fund groups to win the award.
The Managers Funds cited by the Lipper Fund Award were: Managers Bond (Long-Term Bond), Managers Fixed Income (Intermediate-Term Bond), Managers Global Bond (World Bond), Managers High Yield (High Yield Bond), Managers Intermediate Duration Government (Short-Term Government Bond), and Managers Short Duration Government (Ultrashort Bond).
Also, in May our Managers Bond Fund, subadvised by Dan Fuss of Loomis Sayles, was given the Standard & Poor’s/BusinessWeek Excellence in Fund Management Award, developed for fund managers who have “proven histories of strong fund management anchored by track records of consistently sound returns” (see www.standardandpoors.com).
Should you have any questions about any of our Funds or this report, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-835-3879, or visit www.managersinvest.com. We thank you for your investment.
Sincerely, |

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Fund incurs only ongoing costs. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The table below reflects the combined expenses of the Fund and the Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund (the “Portfolio”), in which the Fund currently invests all of its assets.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2005 (unaudited)
Managers Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of The Managers Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Currently, the Trust is comprised of a number of investment series, (collectively the “Funds”). Prior to February 19, 2005, the Fund invested all of its investable assets in the Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund. Upon completion of the integration of the JPMorgan Funds and the One Group Mutual Funds on February 19, 2005, the Fund invests all of its investable assets in the Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund (the “Portfolio”), a separate registered open-end management investment company with substantially the same investment objective and policies as the Fund. The Portfolio is a series of the JPMorgan Trust II, a business trust organized under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The investment manager of the Portfolio is JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. (“JPMIA”). The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Portfolio.
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
(a) Valuation of Investments
The investment in the Portfolio is valued at its end of day net asset value per share. The Portfolio’s underlying investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. The amortized cost method of valuation values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and therefore assumes a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instruments.
(b) Security Transactions
Dividends declared by the Portfolio accrue daily and are paid monthly.
(c) Investment Income and Expenses
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, the Fund receives its proportionate share of the dividends paid by such class, which takes into consideration the Fund’s proportionate share of net investment income and expenses of such class. Expenses incurred by the Trust, which cannot be directly attributed to the Fund are apportioned among the Fund and other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.
The Fund has an “omnibus account” arrangement with JPMIA, the shareholder servicing agent of the Portfolio, whereby the Fund is credited with a factor of 0.05% of the average daily assets invested in the Portfolio. This credit serves to reduce transfer agent expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2005 the transfer agent expense was reduced under this arrangement by $7,409.
(d) Dividends and Distributions
Income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, normally will be declared daily and paid on the third to the last business day of the month. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ
7
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
from generally accepted accounting principles. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.
(e) Federal Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements. As of November 30, 2004, the approximate cost for Federal income tax purposes is $43,211,411.
(f) Capital Stock
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
At May 31, 2005, certain shareholders, including one affiliated shareholder, held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund as follows: two own collectively 66%.
(2) Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates
The Trust has entered into an Administrative and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which Managers Investment Group LLC (formerly The Managers Funds LLC) (the “Administrator”), a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as the Fund’s administrator and is responsible for certain aspects of managing the Fund’s operations, including administration and shareholder services of the Fund. For these services, the Fund is required to pay the Administrator 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets per annum. Beginning May 14, 2004 the Administrator voluntarily agreed to waive 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until March 31, 2005. For the six months ended May 31, 2005 the amount waived was $5,008. The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc., (“MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Managers Investment Group LLC. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Administrator, AMG and/or MDI.
The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee for all Trusts in the Fund family is $52,000, plus $2,000 for each meeting attended. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which Managers Investment Group LLC serves as the Advisor based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $5,000 per year. The Fund paid $1,187 for the six months ended May 31, 2005 representing the Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Fund and other affiliated funds in the Trust and in The Managers Funds complex.
(3) Commitments and contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risks of loss to be remote.
