Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder:
Our foremost goal at Managers Investment Group is to structure and manage mutual funds that will help our shareholders and clients successfully reach their investment goals and objectives.
Each of our Funds is geared to provide you with exposure to a specific asset class or style of investing. Our mutual fund offerings include four that are subadvised by Cadence Capital Management, LLC (“Cadence”) and focus on specific segments of the domestic equity market. The Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund seeks to provide investors with diversified, large-cap growth domestic equity exposure, while the Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund is a more concentrated portfolio of U.S. large-cap growth stocks. Cadence also oversees the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund, which focuses on domestic mid-cap growth stocks, and the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund, which invests in attractively valued growth stocks in the micro-cap and small-cap space. Cadence has been managing equity portfolios since the late 1980s and has overseen the Funds since their inception. Cadence implements a growth-at-a-reasonable price equity investment process with an initial screen that narrows the universe before in-depth, fundamental research is undertaken to identify the most attractive securities.
Below is a brief overview of the equity markets and the performance results for the Funds. Following this letter, we also provide the Portfolio Managers’ discussion of their investment management approach, performance results and market outlook.
The economic recovery began in 2009 and extended into 2010, thanks in part to a concerted effort by global governments to provide a framework conducive to growth and asset inflation. This accommodative monetary policy proved to be very successful in the short run as economies continued to recover and riskier assets appreciated substantially. That being said, the path higher has been choppy as fears over sovereign debt default and the potential for a double-dip recession weighed on the minds of investors. Fear turned into courage in the second half of 2010, as corporate earnings proved to be better than expected and a sovereign crisis was averted when European government officials agreed to provide the Irish government with an $89 billion rescue package. The risk trade was in favor on the equity side of the ledger and benefited greatly from strong corporate earnings as well as the Federal Reserve’s plan to stimulate the U.S. economy via another round of quantitative easing (QE2). The rising trend continued into 2011 up through the first few weeks of February, before unrest in the Middle East caused oil prices to increase and equity markets to fall. The Japanese catastrophe in mid-March also dragged down equity markets as investors questioned the ripple-effect of a sharp slowdown in Japan and wondered about the potential impact of an evolving nuclear disaster. Equity markets eventually stabilized during April and continued the trend higher. As of late, fear has returned to the forefront causing equity markets to trend downward since late-April. Investors are again concerned about European debt issues, slowing Chinese growth, the sustainability of the U.S. recovery and continued unrest in the Middle East. Nevertheless, the trailing 12-month period has been quite strong for U.S. equities as the Russell 1000® Growth Index appreciated 29.43%, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index returned 36.31% and the Russell 2000 Growth® Index returned 36.79%.
Against this backdrop, the absolute performance of the Managers Cadence Funds was very strong, but the relative returns were somewhat disappointing with the exception of Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund. The absolute and relative returns are summarized below:

Letter to Shareholders (continued)
For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund Institutional Class returned 25.05%, behind the 29.43% return for the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Fund’s underperformance is most attributable to poor relative performance in the health care, consumer discretionary and financials sectors. Sector weightings also detracted as an overweight to health care and an underweight to energy hurt relative performance.
For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund Institutional Class returned 26.98%, underperforming the 29.43% return of the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Like the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, the underperformance is due to a combination of poor relative stock performance and sector weightings. Stock performance detracted the most within the health care, materials and financials sectors. Overweights to health care and telecomm along with underweights to energy and materials hurt relative returns too.
For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund Institutional Class returned 35.47%, slightly behind the 36.31% return for the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. The primary driver of underperformance was a small allocation to cash as mid-cap growth stocks appreciated sharply. Relative performance within the consumer discretionary, materials and financials sector also hurt performance, but was mostly offset by strong performance in the industrials and energy sectors.
For the 12-month period ending May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund Institutional Class returned 49.20%, markedly beating the 34.69% return for the Russell Microcap® Growth Index. The primary driver of the solid results was exceptional strong stock selection in information technology as numerous holdings appreciated more than 100%. Additionally, an underweight to health care and strong performance in the industrials and consumer staples sectors also contributed to relative returns.
Going forward, Cadence believes there is still cause to be cautiously optimistic. While the market is pricing in an economic slowdown, Cadence is confident about the prospects of its individual holdings. In this world of low but rising inflation, improving economic growth and still historically low interest rates, Cadence believes its Funds have the potential to perform well as investors focus more on company fundamentals rather than macro concerns.
Cadence believes the greatest challenge is the extraordinary short-term price volatility and sector rotation, as the market continues to reassess the evolving economic landscape. Longer term, an important concern is potential profit margin compression. Adding to this challenge are the high costs of production in such areas as energy and metals. For these reasons, a company’s ability to raise prices is a key component of Cadence’s investment framework for 2011.
Cadence is emphasizing companies that can manage rising cost inputs by increasing prices and/or controlling costs, in particular, emphasizing companies with specialized or scarce products that can most easily raise prices and companies able to generate significant free cash flow. In the long run, strong free cash flow could prove to be even more attractive as it would mitigate the effect of future high interest rates.

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

Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
Over the 12 months ended May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund’s (the “Fund”) Institutional Class returned 25.05%, underperforming the 29.43% return of the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
The trailing 12-month period was a strong one for stocks in general, with major averages posting double-digit returns. The Russell 1000® Index gained 26.8%, while the Russell Midcap® and Russell 2000® Indices advanced 32.6% and 29.8%, respectively. Growth-style indices outperformed their value counterparts overall, with the Russell 1000® Growth, Russell Midcap® Growth and Russell 2000® Growth Indices returning 29.4%, 36.3%, and 36.8%, respectively.
U.S. corporate earnings continued to improve over the 12-month period, first with effective cost-cutting measures and later with productivity enhancements. Perhaps most importantly for active stock pickers, at times, investors seemed to finally focus on company fundamentals – rewarding stocks with above-average earnings growth and reasonable valuations – rather than discounting stocks on a wholesale basis in reaction to distressing macroeconomic events.
What the strong equity market returns don’t show, however, is the wild ride investors took to get there. While the Great Recession formally ended in June 2009, the U.S. recovery has been sluggish, and the economic environment has been difficult for investors, businesses and individuals alike. Unemployment has remained stubbornly high, concerns about credit markets have yet to be resolved and the critical housing sector has yet to return to growth. Indeed, it has been hard to tell at times whether the economy was in fact recovering at all.
If anyone needed yet more proof of the near impossibility of successfully timing the market, they got it over the last 12 months, with the U.S. equity market experiencing several ups and downs. The causes were varied: fears of sovereign debt default in Europe and a double-dip recession in the United States, slowing growth in China, and concern that the policy responses in each of these regions would fail to ensure the emergence of a self-reinforcing, global economic recovery. Lately, the greatest local concerns have been continued weakness in the housing market, high unemployment, four-dollar-per-gallon gas prices and dangerous weather patterns that have caused states-of-emergencies in several areas.
Abroad, the backdrop of events has been nothing short of astounding. In a mere six months, the world was rocked by events ranging from the historic uprisings in the Middle East and the resultant spike in the price of oil; to the horrific natural and nuclear disasters in Japan; to the death of Osama bin Laden. Despite all this, the U.S. market proved to be generally resilient, posting some of the best returns investors have seen since 1999.
After the major benchmarks peaked at the end of April, however, they began to correct in May. The about-face reflects growing concern over the Federal Reserve’s withdrawal of its Quantitative Easing policy (QE2) and questions over the U.S. economy’s ability to self-sustain without the cash infusion. Continued social unrest in the Middle East, decelerating growth in China, continued concerns over sovereign debt and economic and social instability in Greece are adding to the fears. Even if the U.S. does not double dip into a recession (which we don’t believe it will), a modest 2% growth rate will likely continue to feel recessionary to many Americans.
Against this backdrop, the Fund generated a strong absolute return, but lagged its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, by roughly 400 basis points.
While all sectors within the Fund posted positive absolute returns over the 12-month period, stock selection and sector weightings both contributed to the Fund’s underperformance. The Fund’s health care, consumer discretionary and financials holdings detracted the most from results. Diversified investment services companies Morgan Stanley Co. (-20.2%) and Lincoln National Corp. (-1.6%) dragged down the financials sector, while medical technology company Medtronic, Inc. (-14.2%) and health care device supplier Covidien PLC (-11.5%) detracted from health care holdings. Relative underperformance in the consumer discretionary sector was due in part to losses in electronics retailer Best Buy Co., Inc. (-25.4%) and home furnishings and commercial products manufacturer Leggett & Platt, Inc., (-10.5%). From a sector standpoint, a modest overweight to health care and an underweight to energy were the most notable detractors. The energy sector was the best performing sector within the Russell 1000® Growth Index. As markets retreated the last few months, the overweight to health care has proven beneficial. However, it is one of the laggards (+25.7%) over the entire fiscal year as many other sectors are up over 30%.
Three economically sensitive sectors – energy, materials and industrials – had significant impact on return. The Fund’s energy holdings returned 52.2%, led by National Oilwell Varco, Inc. (+92.0%), an oil service company focused primarily on offshore oil production, and Peabody Energy Corp. (+58.4%), a coal mining and production concern.

The Fund’s materials holdings returned 40.1%. This sector was led by Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. (+61.6%), a company which produces both iron ore and coal; and E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (+52.4%), whose markets include seeds and agricultural products, specialty chemicals, coatings and materials. Industrials returned 26.3% overall, led by gains in Joy Global, Inc. (+77.6%), a leader in mining equipment and services and Dover Corp. (+52.7%), a diversified manufacturer of industrial products and engineered systems.
Consumer staples also posted significant gains, advancing 33.9% for the year. Within consumer staples, the Fund’s top-performing holdings included Philip Morris International, Inc. (+70.2%), which manufactures and markets tobacco products outside of the United States and Whole Foods Market, Inc. (+70.4%), natural and organic food supermarkets.
LOOKING FORWARD
Going forward, we at Cadence believe there is still cause to be cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year. While the market is pricing in an economic slowdown, we are constructive on the prospects of our individual holdings. In this world of low but rising inflation, improving economic growth and still historically low interest rates, we believe our Fund will perform well as investors continue to focus more on company fundamentals rather than macro concerns. In particular, our investments in the energy, materials and industrials sectors should benefit most from rising inflation.
We believe the greatest challenge is the extraordinary short-term price volatility and sector rotation, as the market continues to reassess the evolving economic landscape. Longer term, an important concern is the issue of companies’ potential profit margin compression. With economic conditions improving and measures of corporate profit margins at historically high levels, companies will have to start adding to their labor force. While the creation of jobs is good news, it also creates a challenge: adding resources to meet demand. Adding to this challenge are the high costs of production in areas such as energy and metals. For these reasons, a company’s ability to raise prices is a key component of our investment framework for 2011.
Specifically, we are buying more companies that can manage rising cost inputs by increasing prices and/or controlling costs. In particular, we are attracted to companies with specialized or scarce products that can raise prices most easily. We are also focusing on companies that generate significant free cash flow, because they are more able to self-fund their growth and return cash to shareholders in the form of increased dividends and share buybacks. In the long run, strong free cash flow could prove to be even more attractive as it would mitigate the effect of future high interest rates.
In summary, we will continue to seek the right balance between playing offense and defense in the Funds. We will invest in companies that should benefit from global economic expansion but balance them with holdings in defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples that may act as anchors. Through it all, you can be confident that we will stick to the investment discipline that has seen Cadence clients through challenges and opportunities since 1988.
This commentary reflects the viewpoints of Cadence Capital Management, LLC. The viewpoints and performance figures are based on a 12-month period ending May 31, 2011. The following financial statements presented in this report represent the Fund’s actual 11-month fiscal period from July 1, 2010, to May 31, 2011.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE
Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The Russell 1000® Growth Index is a market capitalization weighted index that measures the performance of those Russell 1000® companies with higher price-to-book ratio and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 1000® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. The Index assumes reinvestment of dividends. This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund’s Institutional Class on May 31, 2001, compared to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 1000® Growth Index for the same time period. Performance for periods longer than one year is annualized. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

† | Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
* | The Fund changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to May 31 in 2011. |
1 | Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of May 31, 2011. All returns are in U.S. dollars($). |
2 | Fund for which, from time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/ or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 | A greater percentage of the Fund’s holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund. |
4 | The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Growth stocks may underperform value stocks during given periods. |
5 | The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out of favor. |
6 | The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real Estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions. |

Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
Over the 12 months ended May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund’s (the “Fund”) Institutional Class returned 26.98%, underperforming the 29.43% return of the Russell 1000® Growth Index.
The trailing 12-month period was a strong one for stocks in general, with major averages posting double-digit returns. The Russell 1000® Index gained 26.8%, while the Russell Midcap® and Russell 2000® Indices advanced 32.6% and 29.8%, respectively. Growth-style indices outperformed their value counterparts overall, with the Russell 1000® Growth, Russell Midcap® Growth and Russell 2000® Growth Indices returning 29.4%, 36.3%, and 36.8%, respectively.
U.S. corporate earnings continued to improve over the 12-month period, first with effective cost-cutting measures and later with productivity enhancements. Perhaps most importantly for active stock pickers, at times, investors seemed to finally focus on company fundamentals—rewarding stocks with above-average earnings growth and reasonable valuations—rather than discounting stocks on a wholesale basis in reaction to distressing macroeconomic events.
What the strong equity market returns don’t show, however, is the wild ride investors took to get there. While the Great Recession formally ended in June 2009, the U.S. recovery has been sluggish, and the economic environment has been difficult for investors, businesses and individuals alike. Unemployment has remained stubbornly high, concerns about credit markets have yet to be resolved, and the critical housing sector has yet to return to growth. Indeed, it has been hard to tell at times whether the economy was in fact recovering at all.
If anyone needed yet more proof of the near-impossibility of successfully timing the market, they got it over the last 12 months with the U.S. equity market experiencing several ups and downs. The causes were varied: fears of sovereign debt default in Europe and a double-dip recession in the United States, slowing growth in China, and concern that the policy responses in each of these regions would fail to ensure the emergence of a self-reinforcing, global economic recovery. Lately, the greatest local concerns have been continued weakness in the housing market, high unemployment, four-dollar-per-gallon gas prices and dangerous weather patterns that have caused state-of-emergencies in several areas.
Abroad, the backdrop of events has been nothing short of astounding. In a mere six months, the world was rocked by events ranging from the historic uprisings in the Middle East and the resultant spike in the price of oil; to the horrific natural and nuclear disasters in Japan; to the death of Osama bin Laden. Despite all this, the U.S. market proved to be generally resilient, posting some of the best returns investors have seen since 1999.
After the major benchmarks peaked at the end of April, however, they began to correct in May. The about-face reflects growing concern over the Federal Reserve’s withdrawal of its Quantitative Easing policy (QE2) and questions over the U.S. economy’s ability to self-sustain without the cash infusion. Continued social unrest in the Middle East, decelerating growth in China, continued concerns over sovereign debt, and economic and social instability in Greece are adding to the fears. Even if the U.S. does not double dip into a recession (which we don’t believe it will), a modest 2% growth rate will likely continue to feel recessionary to many Americans.
Against this backdrop, the Fund generated a strong absolute return, but lagged its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, by roughly 250 basis points. The Fund’s underperformance is attributable to a combination of poor stock selection and sector weightings.
The Fund’s health care, materials and financials holdings detracted most from performance. Within health care, information technology concern McKesson Corp. (+11.7%), biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, Inc. (+7.2%) and global pharmaceutical leader Abbott Laboratories (+0.7%) detracted from overall return. The Financial sector was negatively impacted by diversified financial services companies Morgan Stanley Co. (+20.2%) and investment management organization Blackrock, Inc. (+14.1%). From a sector standpoint, the Fund’s overweights to health care and telecomm detracted from results.
Three economically sensitive sectors—energy, materials and industrials—had significant impact on returns. The Fund’s energy holdings returned 46.20% for the period, led by strong gains in SM Energy Co. (+78.8%), an exploration and production company focused on natural gas and crude oil, and Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (+42.8%), a leading producer of coal. The Fund’s materials holdings returned 20.5%, driven primarily by E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. which gained 52.4% over the 12-month period.

Industrials gained 28.8% overall, benefiting from healthy gains in Joy Global, Inc. (+77.6%), a leader in mining equipment and services, and SPX Corp. (+29%), a global manufacturer and supplier of industrial equipment.
LOOKING FORWARD
Going forward, we at Cadence believe there is still cause to be cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year. While the market is pricing in an economic slowdown, we are constructive on the prospects of our individual holdings. In this world of low but rising inflation, improving economic growth and still historically low interest rates, we believe our Fund will perform well as investors continue to focus more on company fundamentals rather than macro concerns. In particular, our investments in the energy, materials and industrials sectors should benefit most from rising inflation.
We believe the greatest challenge is the extraordinary short-term price volatility and sector rotation, as the market continues to reassess the evolving economic landscape. Longer term, an important concern is the issue of companies’ potential profit margin compression. With economic conditions improving and measures of corporate profit margins at historically high levels, companies will have to start adding to their labor force. While the creation of jobs is good news, it also creates a challenge: adding resources to meet demand. Adding to this challenge are the high costs of production in areas such as energy and metals. For these reasons, a company’s ability to raise prices is a key component of our investment framework for 2011.
Specifically, we are buying more companies that can manage rising cost inputs by increasing prices and/or controlling costs. In particular, we are attracted to companies with specialized or scarce products that can raise prices most easily. We are also focusing on companies that generate significant free cash flow, because they are more able to self-fund their growth and return cash to shareholders in the form of increased dividends and share buybacks. In the long run, strong free cash flow could prove to be even more attractive as it would mitigate the effect of future high interest rates.
In summary, we will continue to seek the right balance between playing offense and defense in the Fund. We will invest in companies that should benefit from global economic expansion but balance them with holdings in defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples that may act as anchors. Through it all, you can be confident that we will stick to the investment discipline that has seen Cadence clients through challenges and opportunities since 1988.

Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
Over the 12 months ended May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund’s (the “Fund”) Institutional Class returned 35.47%, slightly underperforming the 36.31% return of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index.
The trailing 12-month period was a strong one for stocks in general, with major averages posting double-digit returns. The Russell 1000® Index gained 26.8%, while the Russell Midcap® and Russell 2000® Indices advanced 32.6% and 29.8%, respectively. Growth-style indices outperformed their value counterparts overall, with the Russell 1000® Growth, Russell Midcap® Growth and Russell 2000® Growth Indices returning 29.4%, 36.3%, and 36.8%, respectively.
U.S. corporate earnings continued to improve over the 12-month period, first with effective cost-cutting measures and later with productivity enhancements. Perhaps most importantly for active stock pickers, at times, investors seemed to finally focus on company fundamentals—rewarding stocks with above-average earnings growth and reasonable valuations—rather than discounting stocks on a wholesale basis in reaction to distressing macroeconomic events.
What the strong equity market returns don’t show, however, is the wild ride investors took to get there. While the Great Recession formally ended in June 2009, the U.S. recovery has been sluggish, and the economic environment has been difficult for investors, businesses and individuals alike. Unemployment has remained stubbornly high, concerns about credit markets have yet to be resolved, and the critical housing sector has yet to return to growth. Indeed, it has been hard to tell at times whether the economy was in fact recovering at all.
If anyone needed yet more proof of the near-impossibility of successfully timing the market, they got it over the last 12 months with the U.S. equity market experiencing several ups and downs. The causes were varied: fears of sovereign debt default in Europe and a double-dip recession in the United States, slowing growth in China and concern that the policy responses in each of these regions would fail to ensure the emergence of a self-reinforcing, global economic recovery. Lately, the greatest local concerns have been continued weakness in the housing market, high unemployment, four-dollar-per-gallon gas prices, and dangerous weather patterns that have caused state-of-emergencies in several areas.
Abroad, the backdrop of events has been nothing short of astounding. In a mere six months, the world was rocked by events ranging from the historic uprisings in the Middle East and the resultant spike in the price of oil; to the horrific natural and nuclear disasters in Japan; to the death of Osama bin Laden. Despite all this, the U.S. market proved to be generally resilient, posting some of the best returns investors have seen since 1999.
After the major benchmarks peaked at the end of April, however, they began to correct in May. The about-face reflects growing concern over the Federal Reserve’s withdrawal of its Quantitative Easing policy (QE2) and questions over the U.S. economy’s ability to self-sustain without the cash infusion. Continued social unrest in the Middle East, decelerating growth in China, continued concerns over sovereign debt, and economic and social instability in Greece are adding to the fears. Even if the U.S. does not double dip into a recession (which we don’t believe it will), a modest 2% growth rate will likely continue to feel recessionary to many Americans.
Against this backdrop, the Fund generated a very strong absolute return, but lagged its primary benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, by roughly 90 basis points. The Fund’s modest underperformance is most attributable to its small cash position as mid-cap growth stocks were up sharply. Otherwise the Fund benefited from strong performance in industrials and energy. Strength in those sectors was entirely offset by weakness in consumer discretionary, materials and financials. Excluding the cash drag, portfolio weightings did not meaningfully impact performance.
The Fund’s industrials and energy holdings were the greatest positive contributors to relative performance over the period. Our energy holdings climbed 62.3%, led by gains in Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (+42.8%), a leading producer of coal, and SM Energy Co. (+54.1%), an exploration and production company focused on natural gas and crude oil.

Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments (continued)
The Fund’s industrials holdings returned 41.7% for the period. Several companies posted high double-digit returns over the year, including WABCO Holdings, Inc. (+92.0%), a leader in automotive technology and safety systems, and HIS, Inc., Class A (+69.5%), a provider of information and analysis to industrial companies.
While the Fund’s materials, consumer discretionary and financials holdings all posted positive returns on average for the period, they lagged the benchmark on a relative basis. Specialty chemical company Ashland, Inc. (-7.6%) and Titanium Metals Corp. (-15.4%) detracted from the materials sector, while used car retailer CarMax, Inc. (-25.8%) and major appliance manufacturer Whirlpool Corp. (-28.0%) dragged down consumer discretionary stocks. Disappointing relative performance in financials was due in part to losses in investment banking firm Greenhill & Co., Inc. (-25.2%) and insurance provider Genworth Financial, Inc., Class A (-30.5%).
LOOKING FORWARD
Going forward, we at Cadence believe there is still cause to be cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year. While the market is pricing in an economic slowdown, we are constructive on the prospects of our individual holdings. In this world of low but rising inflation, improving economic growth and still historically low interest rates, we believe our Fund will perform well as investors continue to focus more on company fundamentals rather than macro concerns. In particular, our investments in the energy, materials and industrials sectors should benefit most from rising inflation.
We believe the greatest challenge is the extraordinary short-term price volatility and sector rotation, as the market continues to reassess the evolving economic landscape. Longer term, an important concern is the issue of companies’ potential profit margin compression. With economic conditions improving and measures of corporate profit margins at historically high levels, companies will have to start adding to their labor force. While the creation of jobs is good news, it also creates a challenge: adding resources to meet demand. Adding to this challenge are the high costs of production in areas such as energy and metals. For these reasons, a company’s ability to raise prices is a key component of our investment framework for 2011.
Specifically, we are buying more companies that can manage rising cost inputs by increasing prices and/or controlling costs. In particular, we are attracted to companies with specialized or scarce products that can raise prices most easily.

In the long run, strong free cash flow could prove to be even more attractive as it would mitigate the effect of future high interest rates.
In summary, we will continue to seek the right balance between playing offense and defense in the Fund. We will invest in companies that should benefit from global economic expansion but balance them with holdings in defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples that may act as anchors. Through it all, you can be confident that we will stick to the investment discipline that has seen Cadence clients through challenges and opportunities since 1988.

Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
Over the 12 months ended May 31, 2011, the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund’s (the “Fund”) Institutional Class returned 49.20%, significantly outperforming the 34.69% return of the Russell Microcap® Growth Index.
The trailing 12-month period was a strong one for stocks in general, with major averages posting double-digit returns. The Russell 1000® Index gained 26.8%, while the Russell Midcap® and Russell 2000® Indices advanced 32.6% and 29.8%, respectively. Growth-style indices outperformed their value counterparts overall, with the Russell 1000® Growth, Russell Midcap® Growth and Russell 2000® Growth Indices returning 29.4%, 36.3%, and 36.8%, respectively.
U.S. corporate earnings continued to improve over the 12-month period, first with effective cost-cutting measures and later with productivity enhancements. Perhaps most importantly for active stock pickers, at times, investors seemed to finally focus on company fundamentals—rewarding stocks with above-average earnings growth and reasonable valuations—rather than discounting stocks on a wholesale basis in reaction to distressing macroeconomic events. What the strong equity market returns don’t show, however, is the wild ride investors took to get there. While the Great Recession formally ended in June 2009, the U.S. recovery has been sluggish, and the economic environment has been difficult for investors, businesses and individuals alike. Unemployment has remained stubbornly high, concerns about credit markets have yet to be resolved, and the critical housing sector has yet to return to growth. Indeed, it has been hard to tell at times whether the economy was in fact recovering at all.
If anyone needed yet more proof of the near impossibility of successfully timing the market, they got it over the last 12 months with the U.S. equity market experiencing several ups and downs. The causes were varied: fears of sovereign debt default in Europe and a double-dip recession in the United States, slowing growth in China, and concern that the policy responses in each of these regions would fail to ensure the emergence of a self-reinforcing, global economic recovery. Lately, the greatest local concerns have been continued weakness in the housing market, high unemployment, four-dollar-per-gallon gas prices and dangerous weather patterns that have caused state-of-emergencies in several areas.
Abroad, the backdrop of events has been nothing short of astounding. In a mere six months, the world was rocked by events ranging from the historic uprisings in the Middle East and the resultant spike in the price of oil; to the horrific natural and nuclear disasters in Japan; to the death of Osama bin Laden. Despite all this, the U.S. market proved to be generally resilient, posting some of the best returns investors have seen since 1999.
After the major benchmarks peaked at the end of April, however, they began to correct in May. The about-face reflects growing concern over the Federal Reserve’s withdrawal of its Quantitative Easing policy (QE2) and questions over the U.S. economy’s ability to self-sustain without the cash infusion. Continued social unrest in the Middle East, decelerating growth in China, continued concerns over sovereign debt, and economic and social instability in Greece are adding to the fears. Even if the U.S. does not double dip into a recession (which we don’t believe it will), a modest 2% growth rate will likely continue to feel recessionary to many Americans.
Against this backdrop, the Fund was up almost 50% and markedly outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell Microcap® Growth Index. The Fund’s strong performance relative to the Russell Microcap® Growth Index is attributable to exceptional stock selection across several sectors. Additionally, an underweight to health care also added value.
The Fund benefited from substantial gains in the information technology sector, which returned 64.1% and represented almost one quarter of the portfolio. Five companies posted triple-digit returns over the 12-month period. These were fiber optic designer and manufacturer Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (+194.1%), semiconductor manufacturer Amtech Systems, Inc. (+123.4%), software and performance-analysis company OPNET Technologies, Inc. (+158.0%), website builder Web.com Group, Inc. (+109.7%) and online travel site Travelzoo, Inc. (+190.7%).
While an overweight to the health care sector helped performance so did strong performance within the sector. Small health care companies were also significant contributors to overall Fund return, with this sector advancing 37.0% over the 12-month period. Top stocks included health care research provider HealthStream, Inc. (+175.4%), specialty pharmaceutical company Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (+148.9%) and niche generic pharmaceutical concern Akorn, Inc. (+129.3%).
22
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments (continued)
The Fund’s industrials and consumer staples holdings were also positive contributors to Fund return, gaining 51.2% and 63.5%, respectively, over the period.
The only sector that did not produce a positive return on average during the 12 months ending May 31, 2011 was utilities, which lost 22.4%. This sector, on average, represented less than 0.5% of the Fund during the fiscal year and only included one stock. Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (-22.4%) was the lone holding and it struggled during the trailing 12-month period. The Fund’s relative performance was also hurt by the materials sector. A slight underweight hurt performance as did poor performance from Verso Paper Corp. (-22.8%), Wausau Paper Corp. (-21.8%) and Horsehead Holding Corp. (-11.4%). Lastly, the Fund’s small cash position also detracted as micro-cap stocks were up sharply.
LOOKING FORWARD
Going forward, we at Cadence believe there is still cause to be cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year. While the market is pricing in an economic slowdown, we are constructive on the prospects of our individual holdings. In this world of low but rising inflation, improving economic growth and still historically low interest rates, we believe our Fund will perform well as investors continue to focus more on company fundamentals rather than macro concerns. In particular, our investments in the energy, materials and industrials sectors should benefit most from rising inflation.
We believe the greatest challenge is the extraordinary short-term price volatility and sector rotation, as the market continues to reassess the evolving economic landscape. Longer term, an important concern is the issue of companies’ potential profit margin compression. With economic conditions improving and measures of corporate profit margins at historically high levels, companies will have to start adding to their labor force. While the creation of jobs is good news, it also creates a challenge: adding resources to meet demand. Adding to this challenge are the high costs of production in areas such as energy and metals. For these reasons, a company’s ability to raise prices is a key component of our investment framework for 2011.
Specifically, we are buying more companies that can manage rising cost inputs by increasing prices and/or controlling costs. In particular, we are attracted to companies with specialized or scarce products that can raise pricesmost easily. We are also focusing on companies that generate significant free cash flow, because they are more able to self-fund their growth and return cash to shareholders in the form of increased dividends and share buybacks. In the long run, strong free cash flow could prove to be even more attractive as it would mitigate the effect of future high interest rates.
In summary, we will continue to seek the right balance between playing offense and defense in the Fund. We will invest in companies that should benefit from global economic expansion but balance them with holdings in defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples that may act as anchors. Through it all, you can be confident that we will stick to the investment discipline that has seen Cadence clients through challenges and opportunities since 1988.
This commentary reflects the viewpoints of Cadence Capital Management, LLC. The viewpoints and performance figures are based on a 12-month period ending May 31, 2011. The following financial statements presented in this report represent the Fund’s actual 11-month fiscal period from July 1, 2010, to May 31, 2011.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The Russell Microcap® Growth Index measures the performance of the micro-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes those Russell Microcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratio and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the indices are unmanaged, are not available for investment, and do not incur expenses. The Index assumes reinvestment of dividends. This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund’s Institutional Class on May 31, 2001, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell Microcap® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Growth Index for the same time period. Performance for periods longer than one year is annualized. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of

† | Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
* | The Fund changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to May 31 in 2011. |
1 | Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of May 31, 2011. All returns are in U.S. dollars($). |
2 | Fund for which, from time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/ or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 | The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Growth stocks may underperform value stocks during given periods. |
4 | The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions. |
5 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in small-capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history, and a reliance on one or a limited number of products. |

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Managers Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust is comprised of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are: Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund (“Capital Appreciation”) (formerly Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund), Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund (“Focused Growth”) (formerly Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund), Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund (“Mid-Cap”) (formerly Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund), and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund (“Emerging Companies”) ( formerly Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds.”
At the start of business on September 27, 2010, the Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund, Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund, Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund, and the Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund, each a series of the Allianz Funds (the “Predecessor Funds”), were reorganized into a respective series of the Trust, as described above.
Capital Appreciation and Mid-Cap offer Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, Class D shares, Class P shares, Class R shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class shares. Focused Growth offers Class A shares, Class C shares, Class D shares, Class P shares, Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class shares. Emerging Companies offers Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class Shares. Sales of Class A shares may be subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75%. Redemptions of Class B shares, Class C shares and certain Class A shares may be subject to a contingent-deferred sales charge (as a percentage of the original offering price or the net asset value at the time of sale, whichever is less). Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and the classes are identical except for class specific expenses related to shareholder activity. Each class has equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its services and/or distribution plan. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
a. Valuation of Investments
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, if one is available. Lacking any sales, over-the-counter securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. The Funds’ investments are generally valued based on market quotations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”). Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. Each Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) when, for example, (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over a period of time (often referred to as a “stale price”), or (5) Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”) determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets, as adjusted to reflect the Investment Manager’s determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board, the Investment Manager relies upon recommendations of a third-party fair valuation service in adjusting the prices of such foreign portfolio investments. The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices when thinly traded securities are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. An investment’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value according to the Fund’s fair value procedures.
Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share. Securities (including derivatives) for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued, as determined in good faith, and pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs) The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
b. Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. Investment Income and Expenses
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of each Fund, and certain Fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
The following Funds had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture program, which paid a portion of the Fund’s expenses. For the period from September 27, 2010, to May 31, 2011, under these arrangements the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios were as follows: Capital Appreciation – $25,055 or 0.003%, Focused Growth – $1,586 or 0.008%, Mid-Cap – $80,365 or 0.012%, and Emerging Companies – $4,368 or 0.006%. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Funds did not participate in a brokerage recapture program.
The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the period from September 27, 2010, to May 31, 2011, the custodian expense was not reduced. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had no balance credit arrangement with the predecessor custodian, State Street Bank & Trust Co.
Overdrafts will cause a reduction of any earnings credits, computed at 2% above the effective Federal funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the period September 27, 2010, through May 31, 2011, the overdraft fees were as follows: Focused Growth – $5, Mid-Cap – $4, and Emerging Companies – $13. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had a similar agreement with State Street Bank & Trust Co., and the overdraft fees for the period from July 1, 2010, to September 27, 2010, were as follows: Capital Appreciation – $66; Focused Growth – $1,658, and Emerging Companies Fund – $271.
The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the period from September 27, 2010, through May 31, 2011, the transfer agent expense was reduced as follows: Capital Appreciation – $439; Focused Growth – $43; Mid-Cap – $355 and Emerging Companies – $32. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had no balance credit arrangement with the predecessor Transfer Agent, Boston Financial Data Services-Midwest, Inc.
Total returns and net investment income for the Funds would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset. Total expenses before offsets exclude the impact of expense reimbursements or fee waivers and expense reductions such as brokerage recapture credits but include non-reimbursable expenses, if any, such as interest and taxes.
d. Dividends and Distributions
Dividends resulting from net investment income and distributions of capital gains, if any, will be declared and made annually in December and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, REITS, equalization accounting for tax purposes, and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.

e. Federal Taxes
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and gains to their shareholders and to meet certain diversification cation and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended June 30, 2008-2010 and May 31, 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, the Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

At May 31, 2011, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following Funds: Capital Appreciation – one owns 21%; Focused Growth – one owns 19%; Mid-Cap – one owns 31% and Emerging Companies – one owns 55%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Funds.
2. Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates
For each of the Funds, the Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which the Investment Manager, an independently managed subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had a similar Investment Management Agreement with Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (“Allianz”). The Funds’ investment portfolios are managed by Cadence Capital Management, LLC (“Cadence” or the “Subadvisor”), which serves pursuant to a
Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and Cadence with respect to each of the Funds. Prior to September 27, 2010, Cadence served as the subadvisor to the Funds pursuant to a subadvisory agreement between Allianz and Cadence with respect to each of the Predecessor Funds.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the period from September 27, 2010, to May 31, 2011, the annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund | | Investment Management Fee | |
Capital Appreciation | | | 0.45 | % |
Focused Growth | | | 0.45 | % |
Mid-Cap | | | 0.45 | % |
Emerging Companies | | | 1.25 | % |
49
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Prior to September 27, 2010, all of the Predecessor Funds, except Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund, paid an investment management fee of 0.45%. Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund paid an investment management fee of 1.25%, of which Allianz voluntarily waived 0.10%.
Effective September 27, 2010, each Fund entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as each Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund, its shareholders, and certain institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds’ shareholders. For its services, the Administrator is paid a fee at a rate of 0.25% of average net assets per annum. Prior to September 27, 2010, the predecessor Funds participated in a “unitary” fee structure where Allianz provided administrative services to the Funds and would also bear the cost of most third-party administrative services required by the Funds, including audit, custodial, portfolio accounting, legal and transfer agency.
The Investment Manager for the Funds has contractually agreed, through at least November 1, 2012, to waive fees and pay or reimburse Fund expenses of Capital Appreciation, Focused Growth, Mid-Cap, and Emerging Companies, in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees, and expenses and extraordinary items) to 0.72%, 0.71%, 0.72% and 1.42%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Funds are obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid, or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s expenses in any such future year to exceed the above percentages, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Prior to September 27, 2010, Allianz voluntarily agreed to waive certain investment management and administrative fees to reduce Fund expenses. For the period prior to September 27, 2010, these fees were not subject to repayment. For the period from September 27, 2010 through May 31, 2011, the Funds made no repayments to the Investment Manager. For the 11 months ended May 31, 2011, each Fund’s components of reimbursement are detailed in the following chart:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Appreciation | | | Focused Growth | | | Mid-Cap | | | Emerging Companies | |
Reimbursement Available – 9/27/10 | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Effective January 1, 2011, the aggregate retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $80,000, plus $5,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $20,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $8,000 per year. (Prior to January 1, 2011, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee was $65,000, plus $4,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts received an additional payment of $15,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional payment of $5,000 per year.) The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds. Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds had adopted a deferred compensation plan for the Trustees, which permitted the Trustees to defer their receipt of compensation from the Funds. The remaining portion of deferred Trustee fees and expenses were paid prior to September 27, 2010, by the Predecessor Funds to their former Trustees, amounting to: Capital Appreciation – $2,653; Focused Growth – $67; Mid-Cap – $2,277 and Emerging Companies – $177.
The Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (“MDI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. Prior to September 27, 2010, the distributor was Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC (“AGID”). MDI serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold by brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with MDI. MDI bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or MDI.
Effective September 27, 2010, the Funds adopted a distribution and service plan (the “plan”) with respect to the shares of certain classes of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of the FINRA regarding asset-based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may compensate the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of such class of the Fund’s shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributors up to a certain percentage annually of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to each respective class shares. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by MDI to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales related costs. The portion of payments by each class’s shares for shareholder servicing may not exceed a certain annual percentage rate of the average daily net asset value of the Fund’s shares of each class owned by its clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary. The annual percentages of daily net assets for 12b-1 fees congruent with the Plan for each applicable share class of the Funds are detailed in the chart below:
| | | | |
Fund | | 12b-1 Fees | |
Capital Appreciation | | | | |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % |
Class B | | | 1.00 | % |
Class C | | | 1.00 | % |
Class D | | | 0.25 | % |
Class R | | | 0.50 | % |
Focused Growth | | | | |
Administrative Class | | | 0.05 | % |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % |
Class C | | | 1.00 | % |
Class D | | | 0.25 | % |
Mid-Cap Fund | | | | |
Class A | | | 0.25 | % |
Class B | | | 1.00 | % |
Class C | | | 1.00 | % |
Class D | | | 0.25 | % |
Class R | | | 0.50 | % |
Prior to September 27, 2010, the Predecessor Funds paid 12b-1 fees to AGID of 1.00% on all Class B and Class C shares, 0.25% on all Class A and Class D shares, and 0.50% on all Class R shares. Other share classes did not pay a 12b-1 fee prior to September 27, 2010.
The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible Managers Funds. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending Funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating Fund. The Investment Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating Funds. For the period from September 27, 2010, to May 31, 2011, the following Funds lent to other Managers Funds: Capital Appreciation lent $4,479,634 for 4 days earning interest of $400, Emerging Companies lent $822,854 for 1 day earning interest of $26, Mid-Cap lent $2,470,476 for 6 days earning interest of $311. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations in interest income. For the period from September 27, 2010, to May 31, 2011, the following Funds borrowed from other Managers Funds: Capital Appreciation borrowed $2,921,344 for 1 day paying interest of $83, Focused Growth borrowed varying amounts up to $4,914,168 for 7 days paying interest of $648, Mid-Cap borrowed
51
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
varying amounts up to $31,378,806 for 10 days paying interest of $3,316. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as part of miscellaneous expense.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government obligations) for the 11 months ended May 31, 2011, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Capital Appreciation | | $ | 624,325,837 | | | $ | 791,344,925 | |
Focused Growth | | | 17,950,691 | | | | 28,459,866 | |
Mid-Cap | | | 576,874,225 | | | | 826,796,351 | |
Emerging Companies | | | 56,736,514 | | | | 72,799,555 | |
The Funds had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations for the 11 months ended May 31, 2011.
4. Affiliated Transactions
On March 13, 2009, Allianz purchased all of the securities issued by Axon Financial Funding LLC (“Axon Notes”) and Gryphon Funding Limited (including certain residual notes issued by SIV Portfolio PLC, a predecessor entity of Gryphon Funding Limited (“Gryphon Notes”), and together with the Axon Notes, the “Notes”) held as investments of collateral for securities on loan under the Predecessor Funds’ securities lending program. An additional amount was contributed to each Fund by Allianz, so that, in effect, each Fund received from the sale the full principal value of the Notes, plus accrued interest. In connection with the sale, the irrevocable letter of credit issued by The Bank of New York to the Predecessor Funds, which provided financial support to each of the affected Funds with the result that the Funds effectively valued each Axon Note and Gryphon Note position at its full principal amount, was surrendered without being drawn upon by the Predecessor Funds.
The total of the purchase price and the capital contribution amounts received by the Funds were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Capital | |
| | Purchase Price | | | Contribution | |
Fund | | Amount | | | Amount | |
Capital Appreciation | | $ | 12,011,584 | | | $ | 9,847,503 | |
Mid-Cap | | | 13,036,352 | | | | 10,539,263 | |
5. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risks of loss to be remote.
6. New Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 requires common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.
7. Subsequent Events
At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees held on June 9-10, 2011, Nathaniel Dalton, who was a Trustee of the Trust, delivered his resignation to the Board of Trustees, effective June 9, 2011. The Board appointed Christine C. Carsman as Trustee to fill the vacancy; like Mr. Dalton, Ms. Carsman is considered an “interested person” of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Funds have determined that no additional material events or transactions occurred through the issuance of the Funds’ financial statements, which require additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds’ financial statements.
Tax Information (unaudited)
Each Fund hereby designates the maximum amount allowable of its net taxable income as qualified ed dividends as provided in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.
Pursuant to section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code, Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation, Managers Cadence Focused Growth, Managers Cadence Mid-Cap, and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies hereby designate as a capital gain distribution with respect to the taxable year ended May 31, 2011, $0, $917,771, $0, and $0, respectively, or, if subsequently determined to be different, the net capital gains of such year.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of the Managers Funds and Shareholders of the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, 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 Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund (formerly Allianz CCM Capital Appreciation Fund), Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund (formerly Allianz CCM Focused Growth Fund), Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund (formerly Allianz CCM Mid-Cap Fund) and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund (formerly Allianz CCM Emerging Companies Fund) (four of the Funds constituting Managers funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) as of and for the periods ended May 31, 2011, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for 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 Funds’ 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 May 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics. See attached Exhibit (a)(1).
Item 3. | AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT |
Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that independent Trustees Mr. Jack W. Aber and Mr. Steven J. Paggioli each qualify as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. Mr. Aber and Mr. Paggioli are “independent” as such term is defined in Form N-CSR.
Item 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES |
The aggregate fees billed by PwC to the Fund for the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years for professional services rendered for audits of annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements (“Audit Fees”) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal 2011 | | | Fiscal 2010 | |
Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund | | $ | 29,500 | | | | N/A | |
Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund | | $ | 25,500 | | | | N/A | |
Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund | | $ | 29,500 | | | | N/A | |
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund | | $ | 24,500 | | | | N/A | |
Audit-Related Fees
There were no fees billed by PwC to the Funds in its two recent fiscal years for services rendered for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements, but are not reported as Audit Fees (“Audit-Related Fees”).
For the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC for engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of one or more Funds by a Fund Service Provider. A Fund Service Provider is (a) any investment adviser to the Fund (not including any Subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or (b) any entity that provides ongoing services to the Fund and is controlling, controlled by or under common control with a Fund investment adviser described in (a).
Tax Fees
The aggregate fees billed by PwC to the Funds for the two most recent fiscal years for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning (“Tax Fees”) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal 2011 | | | Fiscal 2010 | |
Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund | | $ | 6,500 | | | | N/A | |
Managers Cadence Focused Growth Fund | | $ | 5,800 | | | | N/A | |
Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund | | $ | 6,500 | | | | N/A | |
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund | | $ | 5,800 | | | | N/A | |
For the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years, Tax Fees billed by PwC for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $0 for fiscal 2008 and $0 for fiscal 2007, respectively.
The services for which Tax Fees were charged comprise all services performed by professional staff in PwC’s tax division except those services related to the audit. Typically, this category would include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. Tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services include preparation of original and amended tax returns, claims for refund and tax payment-planning services, assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.
All Other Fees
There were no other fees billed by PwC to the Funds for all other non-audit services (“Other Fees”) during the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years. During the same period, there were no Other Fees billed by PwC for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
According to policies adopted by the Audit Committee, services provided by PwC to the Funds must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves various types of services that PwC may perform for the Funds without specific approval of each engagement, subject to specified budget limitations. As contemplated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, the Audit Committee also pre-approves non-audit services provided by PwC to any Fund Service Provider for any engagement that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Any engagement that is not already pre-approved or that will exceed a pre-approved budget must be submitted to the Audit Committee for pre-approval. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is authorized on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Audit Committee to approve the engagement of PwC to perform non-audit services subject to certain conditions, including notification to the Audit Committee of such pre-approval not later than the next meeting of the Audit Committee following the date of such pre-approval.
There were no other fees billed by PwC for non-audit services rendered to the Funds and to Fund Service Providers for the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years.
The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by PwC to Fund Service Providers that were not required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence in its audit of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, regarding its independence from the Funds and its related entities.
The following table sets forth the non-audit services provided by PwC to the Funds and its service affiliates defined as the Funds’ investment advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Managers Investment Group LLC that provides ongoing services to the Funds (“Control Affiliates”) for the last two fiscal years.
