Dear Shareholder:
Thank you for your investment in The Managers Funds. Our foremost goal at Managers Investment Group (“MIG”) is to provide investment products and solutions that help our shareholders and clients successfully reach their investment goals and objectives. We do this by offering a broad selection of Funds managed by a collection of Affiliated Managers Group’s (“AMG”) affiliate investment boutiques, along with a complementary series of open-architecture mutual funds.
The past year has been an exciting one for us at MIG. In connection with AMG’s investment in Yacktman Asset Management (“Yacktman”), MIG partnered with Yacktman in reorganizing the Yacktman Focused Fund and the Yacktman Fund into the Managers AMG Funds. The addition of the Yacktman Funds to our platform brought our total assets under management to over $31 billion at the end of May 2013.
Additionally, in an effort to better meet our shareholders’ needs as well as bring consistency across our Funds, we restructured our share class offerings across many of our Funds, which included discontinuing certain share classes with sales charges (commonly called sales loads). As a result, many of our Funds now offer three No Load share classes – Investor, Service, and Institutional Share Classes. We believe this simplified structure makes it easier for our clients, as well as Financial Advisors, to select the appropriate share class to match their needs.
During the past year, we also executed on several other changes to certain Funds, which included reducing the minimum initial investment required to purchase Institutional Class shares, as well as reducing expense ratios on several Funds to ensure that our offerings remain competitive and affordable for our clients.
Risky assets have had a strong start in 2013, with U.S. equity markets surpassing all-time highs. Ongoing global monetary easing, a low-yield environment, and healthy U.S. economic growth are supporting investor appetite for risk assets. Despite improving investor sentiment, risks remain, including uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s eventual exit from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy, ongoing fiscal headwinds in the U.S. and slower growth in Emerging Markets. Nevertheless, we are optimistic about the prospects for the upcoming year and we are confident that our Funds are well positioned to weather an uncertain economic environment.
We thank you for your continued confidence and investment in The Managers Funds. You can rest assured that under all market conditions our team is focused on delivering excellent investment management services for your benefit.
Respectfully, |
Keitha Kinne |
President |
The Managers Funds |

Table of Contents
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
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund (Institutional Class) (the “Fund”) returned 20.57%, lagging its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which returned 22.55%.
The recent fiscal year was the first time in the last three years that the last month of the fiscal year was not the start of a sizeable correction in the market, mostly due to an economic recovery that seemed to stagnate or decelerate in the middle part of each year. In 2012, the last seven months of the calendar year were marked by worries about this aforementioned slowdown in what has been a fragile recovery, and as the year moved along those worries took a back seat to a very heated presidential election, increased worries about the looming tax increases this year, and sequestration and its impact on the economy and government spending in 2013. For the fiscal year, the Fund underperformed its benchmark. Disappointing for sure, however, an important turning point in the relative performance of the Fund occurred towards the end of July 2012.
The portfolio’s performance started the fiscal year on a shaky note. The Fund underperformed during the months of June and July 2012. For the balance of the fiscal year, August 2012 through May 2013, the portfolio achieved outperformance versus the benchmark. We believe the turning point in relative performance corresponds with an ebbing of the macro concerns and chronic fears that have gripped stock market participants.
Evidence of a July 2012 turning point can be seen in two metrics found outside the stock market. First, the Euro-Dollar exchange rate bottomed in July 2012. This was around the time when the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, pledged to do “whatever it takes” to save the euro and embarked on monetary policy easing in the Euro Zone. The second “metric” is the yield on the 10-year U.S. Government Treasury Bond which also bottomed (in yield) towards the end of July 2012. Since then, both indicators have increased (Euro appreciating and yields rising) though certainly not in a straight line. We believe this suggests that systemic risks are receding and the global economy is on the road to recovery. During periods like this, macro factors become less important as company specific fundamental factors drive stock price performance. Not coincidentally in our minds, the Fund has outperformed (since July 2012) as market participants have started to focus more on the bottom-up stock specific and less on the top-down macro environment.
The largest positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance in this fiscal year came from the financial and consumer staples areas. Our financial holdings benefited from a continued improvement in credit trends and the beginning of true loan growth
(something we haven’t seen in the sector since prior to the financial crisis). Our holdings in the staples area generally delivered strong financial performance throughout the year.
In contrast, the health care and consumer discretionary sectors were the biggest detractors from relative results during the fiscal year. Within health care most of the underperformance was due to lack of exposure to the biotechnology sector. Throughout the year we were underweight the biotechnology area which performed well. We remain underweight biotech as the group looks less attractive to us relative to other segments of the market. The shortfall in consumer discretionary was due to disappointing stock selection.
Outlook
We enter Fiscal Year 2014 with conviction that the economy and company fundamentals are better than investors anticipate. We also believe that a “great rotation” will occur, and it looks like we are on the cusp of that happening. The unprecedented run in the fixed income markets was driven mainly by the extreme fear that resulted from the 40% decline in the equity markets in 2008. However, with rates still historically low, the benefit to continuing to own bonds while the economy, and equity markets, begin to improve, is waning. We firmly believe that the move into stocks will be a multi-year event, and this only adds to the positive backdrop that we think is in place for equity prices over the next several years. We believe the Fund is well positioned to take advantage of this as the portfolio is positioned in strong secular and cyclical growth stocks purchased at reasonable valuations.
This commentary reflects the viewpoints of the Cadence Capital Management, LLC as of May 31, 2013 and is not intended as a forecast or guarantee of future results.
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. This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund’s Institutional Class on May 31, 2003, 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.

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, 2013. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | From time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 | A greater percentage of the Fund’s holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund. |
4 | The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Growth stocks may underperform value stocks during given periods. |
5 | The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out of favor. |
6 | The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions. |
7 | The performance information for the Fund’s Investor Class shares (formerly Class A shares, were renamed Investor Class shares as of December 1, 2012) for periods prior to December 1, 2012 does not reflect the impact of the front-end and deferred sales charges (loads) that were in effect until December 1, 2012. Additionally, the Fund’s Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class D Shares and Class R Shares converted to Investor Class Shares. |
8 | As of December 1, 2012 the Fund’s Administrative Class Shares were renamed Service Class Shares. |
9 | As of December 1, 2012 the Fund’s Class P Shares converted to Institutional Class Shares. |
10 | 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 ratios 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. |

Investment Manager’s Comments
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund (Institutional Class) (the “Fund”) returned 18.20% lagging its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap® Growth Index, which returned 26.76%.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, it was the first time in the last three years that the last month of the fiscal year was not the start of a sizeable correction in the market, mostly due to an economic recovery that seemed to stagnate or decelerate in the middle part of each year. In 2012, the last seven months of the calendar year were marked by worries about this aforementioned slowdown in what has been a fragile recovery, and as the year moved along those worries took a back seat to a very heated presidential election, increased worries about the looming tax increases this year, and sequestration and its impact on the economy and government spending in 2013. Amidst this backdrop the Fund underperformed its benchmark in what was a very frustrating year for our investment process.
The volatility began in earnest in May of 2012, when the Russell Mid Cap® Growth index peaked on May 1, falling a rapid 13% in four weeks, and then rallying almost 14% in the next three and a half months. It was at that time, September 14 to be exact, that the consumer stocks began a sharp and painful correction as the new tax laws for 2013 loomed, and as investors again fretted about the ability of consumer discretionary stocks to outperform after being the best sector off of the March 2009 bottom. The volatility continued as the market declined 7% from the midpoint in September, reaching a bottom a week after the Presidential election, and it hasn’t looked back since, rising by 24% as of May 31, 2013. Despite higher taxes and sequestration, there has been relief due to a decline in uncertainty regarding policy. In fact, since the last trading day of the year when the market rocketed ahead, there have been no corrections greater than 5%.
Unfortunately for the Fund, the two sectors that we were overweight, information technology and consumer discretionary, were also our worst performing sectors. Information technology was especially snake-bitten as several of our holdings reported earnings well below expectations with guidance also below expectations. The Fund was underweight to the better performing sectors such as health care, industrials, materials, and energy, that in essence caused the “perfect storm” for underperforming.
We entered 2013 with high conviction that the economy was better than expected, and we knew (in our opinion) which sectors were likely to see buying in anticipation of this – materials, industrials, energy. We were hesitant to chase these stocks though, as many had already been targeted by buyers. We felt a more calculated and
patient approach was the right strategy and we are now equal weight with the benchmark in all of those sectors as of this writing. It is important to note that the stocks the Fund held coming into 2013 in these economically sensitive areas did perform well, but being underweight was the main culprit to underperforming in these sectors.
The Fund is currently positioned with a large overweight in the information technology sector relative to the benchmark, so while the near term has been painful, we are hopeful that long term will be fruitful for our shareholders. If we are correct in our assumption that the economy is improving more than investors think, then we believe our overweight in information technology should benefit the Fund. Information technology has vastly underperformed over the last few years, however we believe this group can go through periods where there is a stampede to own these stocks, many of which are cyclical in nature, i.e., semiconductors.
We are convinced that “the great rotation” will occur, and it looks like we are on the cusp of that happening. The unprecedented run in the fixed income markets was driven mainly by the extreme fear that resulted from the 40% decline in the equity markets in 2008. However, with rates still historically low, the benefit to continuing to own bonds while the economy, and equity markets, begin to improve, is waning. We firmly believe that the move into stocks will be a multi-year event, and this only adds to the positive backdrop that we think is in place for equity prices over the next several years.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE
Managers Cadence Mid-Cap 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. This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund’s Institutional Class on May 31, 2003, compared to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell Midcap® 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.

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, 2013. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | From time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |

Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund
Investment Manager’s Comments
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund (Institutional Class) (the “Fund”) returned 32.00%, lagging its benchmark, the Russell Microcap® Growth Index, which returned 33.57%.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, it was the first time in the last three years that the last month of the fiscal year was not the start of a sizeable correction in the market, mostly due to an economic recovery that seemed to stagnate or decelerate in the middle part of each year. In 2012, the last seven months of the calendar year were marked by worries about this aforementioned slowdown in what has been a fragile recovery, and as the year moved along those worries took a back seat to a very heated presidential election, increased worries about the looming tax increases this year, and sequestration and its impact on the economy and government spending in 2013. Despite these worries, U.S. stock market small cap indices advanced in the final seven months of 2012, and then strengthened during the first five months of 2013.
For the recent fiscal year, financials were the leading sector for the Fund. We had become optimistic about the prospects for a housing recovery, and this underpinned our investment thesis for BofI Holding, a lender doing business as Bank of Internet. Its strong mortgage business drove earnings growth during the period, and its stock appreciated 150% for the Fund. An asset manager, Virtus Investment Partners, was another leading gainer, also increasing 150% led by strong earnings growth.
Information technology helped drive positive performance for the Fund. Despite being modestly overweight the sector which lagged the benchmarks, good stock selection drove positive results. Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc., which more than doubled for the Fund in FY2011, once again was a big winner, gaining 186% during FY2013. Demand for the company’s data communication components drove strong earnings growth and stock price appreciation. CalAmp, a provider of wireless communications components for industrial machine-to-machine and mobile resource management applications, experienced strong demand for its products and the stock appreciated over 100% during the period.
Consumer staples was a leading contributor. Reckitt Benckiser’s acquisition of Fund holding Schiff Nutrition International, a dietary supplements maker, caused a significant increase in the company’s valuation and benefitted Fund results. Prestige Brands gained more than 50% for the Fund during FY2013, as its acquisition-driven growth in consumer over-the-counter products drove earnings and stock price appreciation.
Health care was the leading detractor of results, by a significant margin. This was primarily attributable to results within the biotechnology industry within healthcare. That industry represents almost half of the overall healthcare sector weight of the Russell Microcap® Growth Index, and approximately one-third of the overall healthcare sector weight of the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The Fund has historically been underweight this industry, given that many biotechnology companies are loss-making, have risky financial profiles and often uncertain business prospects due to the difficult scientific and regulatory path to drug success. These characteristics render many biotechnology stocks unattractive in our
disciplined investment process. During FY2013, the biotechnology industry outperformed the overall benchmarks, and the Fund’s underweight position thus detracted from results. Two holdings in the biotechnology industry, Affymax, Inc. (“Affymax”), and Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., significantly detracted from results. Affymax declined after the company voluntarily withdrew its drug from the market due to a small number of negative patient reactions, causing a significant drop in the value of the stock. Affymax was down 80% during the fiscal year. Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., shares sank 36% mostly because of disappointing results of a clinical study for its rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment fostamatinib. Within the health care supplies industry, OraSure Technologies, Inc., was also a notable detractor from the Fund’s performance with a return of -58% during the fiscal year. Its first-to-market HIV diagnostic test for the over-the-counter market has disappointed initial expectations despite increased marketing spend, contributing to a decline in the company’s earnings and stock price.
The telecommunication services sector also detracted from results, led by Boingo Wireless, Inc., which was down -45%. A customer loss and slower-than-anticipated growth resulted in disappointing earnings performance and drove the stock lower. The consumer discretionary was a positive contributor to overall results, despite the poor performance of Cache, Inc., which was down -42% and was a top detractor from the Fund’s performance. The women’s apparel retailer suffered disappointing sales due to merchandising missteps, which led to lower earnings and a lower stock price.
We are optimistic that “the great rotation” will begin in 2013, and it looks like we are on the cusp of that happening. The unprecedented run in the fixed income markets was driven mainly by the extreme fear that resulted from the 40% decline in the equity markets in 2008. Since that time, investors still fret about stocks, and when someone loses half of an Individual Retirement Account in one year that it took them 30 years to accumulate, that is understandable. However, with rates still historically low, the benefit to continuing to own bonds while the economy, and equity markets, begin to improve, is waning. We firmly believe that the move into stocks will be a multi-year event, and this only adds to the positive backdrop that we think is in place for equity prices over the next several years.
We entered 2013 with high conviction that the economy was better than expected and have maintained pro-growth and pro-cyclical portfolio positioning. As of this writing in June 2013, the Portfolio is overweight the Russell Microcap® Growth benchmark in information technology, energy, industrials, as well as consumer discretionary and consumer staples. The Fund’s holdings in consumer staples are growth-oriented investments rather than traditional “defensive” investments found in this sector in a large cap universe, for example. The Fund continues to be underweight biotechnology, and we are optimistic that industry may perform less strongly in the upcoming year following its recent strength.

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. This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund’s Institutional Class on May 31, 2003, 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 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.
The table below shows the average annual total returns for the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund and the Russell Microcap® Growth Index and the Russell 2000® Growth Index for the same time periods ended May 31, 2013.

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, 2013. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | From time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 | 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 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. |
5 | 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. |
6 | The Russell Microcap® Growth Index measures the performance of the microcap growth segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes those Russell Microcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
7 | 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 Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |

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 consists 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”), Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund (“Mid-Cap”), and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund (“Emerging Companies”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds.”
Effective December 1, 2012, Class A shares and Administrative Class shares of Capital Appreciation and Mid-Cap were renamed Investor Class shares and Service Class shares, respectively. On November 30, 2012 at the close of business, all outstanding Class B shares, Class C shares, Class D shares and Class R shares of Capital Appreciation and Mid-Cap were automatically converted to a number of full and/or fractional Investor Class shares equal in value to Class B shares, Class C shares, Class D shares and Class R shares of each respective Fund. On November 30, 2012 at the close of business, all outstanding Class P shares of Capital Appreciation and Mid-Cap were automatically converted to a number of full and/ or fractional Institutional Class shares equal in value to Class P shares of each respective Fund.
Capital Appreciation and Mid-Cap offer Investor Class shares, Service Class shares and Institutional Class shares. Emerging Companies offers Institutional Class shares and Administrative Class Shares. 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”).
Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally 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.
Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make fair value determinations for such investments. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that investment in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; (iii) the value of comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers; and (iv) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, credit risks and/or default rates. The Board will be presented with a quarterly report comparing fair values determined by the Pricing Committee against subsequent market valuations for those securities. 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. Each Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio investment to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) when, for example, (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio investment is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the investment trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio investment is suspended and has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio investment is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio investment and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (4) an investment’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. Under certain circumstances, the Investment Manager may adjust such prices based on its determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which each Fund calculates its NAV. The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of thinly traded securities that 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 Funds’ fair value procedures.
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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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. 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., debt securities, government securities, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. 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. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Funds, 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 such Fund’s expenses. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were as follows: Capital Appreciation - $92,251 or 0.02%, Mid-Cap - $34,113 or 0.01% and Emerging Companies - $18,827 or 0.05%.
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 fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdrafts will cause a reduction of any balance credits, computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. Prior to January 1, 2013 the rate was 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the overdraft fees for Capital Appreciation, Mid-Cap and Emerging Companies equaled $173, $39 and $139, respectively.
The Trust has filed a proxy statement with the SEC for a shareholder meeting at which shareholders will be asked to approve a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy statement are being treated as “extraordinary expenses,” and, therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.
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, taxes and extraordinary expenses.
d. Dividends and Distributions
Dividends resulting from net investment income and distributions of capital gains, if any, normally will be declared and paid annually in December and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The most common differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales 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, and 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.
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, the 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 as of May 31, 2013 and for all open tax years, 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.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, post-enactment capital losses may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. However, any new losses incurred will be required to be utilized prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years
following the close of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
f. Capital Loss Carryovers and Deferrals
As of May 31, 2013, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. The amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.

g. Capital Stock
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds’ policy on investment valuation.

At May 31, 2013, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following Funds: Capital Appreciation – two collectively own 47%; Mid-Cap – four collectively own 58% and Emerging Companies – five collectively own 57%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Fund.
h. Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At May 31, 2013, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding for Mid-Cap and Emerging Companies were $4,547,090 and $277,486, respectively.
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, a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors the subadvisors’ investment performance, security holdings, and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment
portfolio is managed by portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.
Investment management fees are paid directly by each Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. The annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, were as follows:
Fund | Investment Management Fee | |||
Capital Appreciation | 0.45 | % | ||
Mid-Cap | 0.45 | % | ||
Emerging Companies | 1.25 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, until at least October 1, 2013, to waive management fees and and/or reimburse Fund expenses 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 expenses) of Capital Appreciation, Mid-Cap and Emerging Companies to 0.72%, 0.72% and 1.42%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
Each Fund is 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 total operating expenses in any such future year to exceed

The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board is $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $10,000 per year. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated among 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 January 1, 2013, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $80,000, plus $5,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trust formerly received an additional payment of $20,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $8,000 per year.
The Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the distributor and 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 directly to prospective purchasers through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with MDI. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally MDI bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution 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 the Distributor.
The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Investor Class shares and through November 30, 2012 Class B shares, Class C shares, Class D shares and Class R shares, 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 make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each 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 Distributor up to 0.25% annually of each Fund’s daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class shares and 1.00% annually through November 30, 2012 for Class B shares and Class C shares, 0.25% annually through November 30, 2012 for Class D shares and 0.50% annually through November 30, 2012 for Class R shares.
For each of the Investor and Service Classes, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses incurred (“shareholder servicing fees.”) Shareholder servicing fees include payments to third parties such as a bank, broker-dealer, trust company or other financial intermediaries who provide shareholder recordkeeping and servicing services. The Investor and Service Class shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Class’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below.
The impact on the expense ratios for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, were as follows:
Fund | Maximum Amount Allowed | Actual Amount Charged | ||||||
Capital Appreciation | ||||||||
Investor Class | 0.15 | % | 0.15 | % | ||||
Service Class | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | ||||
Mid-Cap | ||||||||
Investor Class | 0.15 | % | 0.15 | % | ||||
Service Class | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | ||||
Emerging Companies | ||||||||
Administrative Class | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % |
The Securities and Exchange Commission has 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 fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, Capital Appreciation borrowed varying amounts up to $8,731,994 for thirty days paying interest of $3,040 and Mid-Cap borrowed varying amounts up to $17,705,779 for nine days paying interest of $1,915. The interest amounts are included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. Mid-Cap lent varying amounts not exceeding $2,780,660 for three days earning interest of $255. The interest amounts can be found in the Statement of Operations in interest income. At May 31, 2013, the Funds had no loans outstanding.
3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
Capital Appreciation | $ | 292,580,598 | $ | 819,824,147 | ||||
Mid-Cap | 561,754,901 | 738,976,889 | ||||||
Emerging Companies | 31,640,976 | 40,090,063 |
The Funds had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.
4. Portfolio Securities Loaned
The Funds participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM (the “Program”), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Funds, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Until December 31, 2012, collateral received in the form of cash was invested temporarily in the BNY Mellon Overnight Government Fund. Effective January 1, 2013, cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
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 have not had prior claims or losses and expect the risk of material loss to be remote.
6. New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011- 11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a
master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2011-11 on the financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08 which provides guidance that creates a two-tiered approach to assess whether an entity is an investment company. The guidance will also require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value and will require additional disclosures relating to investment company status, any changes there to and information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of the investment company’s investees. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2013-08 on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.
7. Subsequent Events
The Funds have determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Funds’ financial statements which require additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds’ financial statements.
Tax Information (unaudited)
The Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund each hereby designate the maximum amount allowable of its net taxable income as qualified dividends as provided in the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The 2012/2013 Form 1099-DIV you will receive for each Fund will show the tax status of all distributions paid to you during the year.
The percentage of Qualified Dividend Income (“QDI”) and the Dividends Received Deduction (“DRD”) for distributions paid was as follows:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Capital Appreciation | ||||||||
Ordinary Income - QDI | 100.00 | % | 100.00 | % | ||||
Ordinary Income - DRD | 100.00 | % | 100.00 | % | ||||
Mid-Cap | ||||||||
Ordinary Income - QDI | 100.00 | % | n/a | |||||
Ordinary Income - DRD | 100.00 | % | n/a |
Pursuant to section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code, Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund and the Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund each hereby designate $0, $0 and $0, respectively, as a capital gain distribution with respect to the taxable year ended May 31, 2013, 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 Mid-Cap Fund and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio 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, Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund, and Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund, three of the series constituting Managers Funds (the “Funds”) at May 31, 2013, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, 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, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 2. | CODE OF ETHICS |
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 Trustee Mr. Steven J. Paggioli qualifies as the Audit Committee Financial expert. Mr. Paggioli is “independent” as such term is defined in Form N-CSR.
Item 4. | PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES |
(a) | Audit Fees |
The aggregate fees billed by the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), to the Funds 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 2013 | Fiscal 2012 | |||||||
Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund | $ | 25,809 | $ | 30,943 | ||||
Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund | $ | 26,704 | $ | 18,096 | ||||
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund | $ | 10,349 | $ | 27,899 |
(b) | 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).
Table of Contents
(c) | 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 2013 | Fiscal 2012 | |||||||
Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund | $ | 7,000 | $ | 7,000 | ||||
Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund | $ | 7,000 | $ | 7,000 | ||||
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund | $ | 7,000 | $ | 7,000 |
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 2013 and $0 for fiscal 2012, 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.
(d) | 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.
(e)(1) 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.
(e)(2) None.
Table of Contents
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate fees billed by PwC in 2012 and 2011 for non-audit services rendered to the Funds and Fund Service Providers were $80,000 and $79,500, respectively. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $66,000 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2012, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $65,500 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
(h) The Trust’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm to the registrant’s investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled, or under common control with the investment advisor that provided ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.
Item 5. | AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS |
Not applicable.
Item 6. | SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS |
The schedule of investments in unaffiliated issuers as of the close of the reporting period is included as part of the shareholder report contained in Item 1 hereof.

Not applicable.
Item 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES
