About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This 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.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information through the most recent month end, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com. Current net asset values per share for each Fund are available on the Funds’ Web site at www.managersinvest.com
Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money. Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors Inc., member FINRA.
* | Not annualized. |
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 November 30, 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 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. |
8 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history, and a reliance on one or a limited number of products. |
9 | The Russell Midcap® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The stocks are also members of the Russell 1000® Growth Index. Unlike the Fund, the Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
10 | 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. |
11 | As of October 1, 2013 the Fund’s Administrative Class shares were renamed Service 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 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. Distributions received in excess of income from return of capital including real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investment and/or as a realized gain. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, any
distributions received in excess of income are recorded as an adjustment to realized gain. 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 such Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were as follows: Capital Appreciation - $16,666 or 0.02%, Mid-Cap - $25,233 or 0.01% and Emerging Companies - $4,334 or 0.02%.
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 six months ended November 30, 2013, the custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdrafts fees are 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 six months ended November 30, 2013, overdraft fees for Capital Appreciation, Mid-Cap and Emerging Companies equaled $49, $23 and $0, respectively.
The Trust filed a proxy statement with the SEC to approve a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy were treated as “extraordinary expenses,” and, therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.
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 to shareholders 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 REITs. 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, 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 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 November 30, 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. These 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. For the six month ended November 30, 2013, (unaudited) and the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, the capital stock transactions by class for Capital Appreciation, Mid-Cap and Emerging Companies were:

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 November 30, 2013, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding for Capital Appreciation, Mid-Cap and Emerging Companies was $1,630,551, $5,739,572 and $468,609, 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 the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
Capital Appreciation | 0.45 | % | ||
Mid-Cap | 0.45 | % | ||
Emerging Companies | 1.25 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through October 1, 2014, 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
each Fund’s expense cap. For the six months ended November 30, 2013, each Fund’s components of reimbursement are detailed in the following chart:
Capital Appreciation | Mid-Cap | Emerging Companies | ||||||||||

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 annualized expense ratios for the six months ended November 30, 2013, were as follows:
Maximum Amount | Actual Amount | |||||||
Fund | Allowed | Incurred | ||||||
Capital Appreciation | ||||||||
Investor Class | 0.15 | % | 0.15 | % | ||||
Service Class | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % | ||||

Service Class | 0.25 | % | 0.25 | % |
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 the 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 six months ended November 30, 2013, the following Funds either borrowed from or lent to other Managers Funds: Mid-Cap borrowed varying amounts not exceeding $2,137,938 for ten days paying interest of $162. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. Emerging Companies lent $1,442,650 for three days earning interest of $31. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. At November 30, 2013, the Funds had no loans outstanding.
3. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government obligations) for the six months ended November 30, 2013, were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
Capital Appreciation | $ | 44,677,631 | $ | 52,281,347 | ||||
Mid-Cap | 369,723,602 | 487,401,937 | ||||||
Emerging Companies | 28,322,772 | 26,340,216 |
The Funds had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations during the six months ended November 30, 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. 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. | Master Netting Agreements |
The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program and repurchase agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. The following table is a summary of the Funds’ open securities lending and repurchase agreements which are subject to a master netting agreement as of November 30, 2013.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
On June 20-21, 2013, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for each of Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund, Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund and Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund (each a “Fund”) and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each a “Peer Group”), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each a “Fund Benchmark”) and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for an appropriate peer group of managed accounts, and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 20-21, 2013, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
Nature, extent and quality of services.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ knowledge of the Investment Manager’s management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisor; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadvisor, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analysis and reviews of the performance by the Subadvisor of its obligations to each Fund, including
without limitation a review of the Subadvisor’s investment performance in respect of each Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadvisor and other information regarding the Subadvisor, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadvisor responsible for performing the Subadvisor’s obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the Subadvisor and makes appropriate reports to the Board; performs periodic in-person or telephonic diligence meetings, including with respect to compliance matters, with representatives of the Subadvisor; assists the Board and management of the Trust in developing and reviewing information with respect to the annual consideration of each Subadvisory Agreement; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of the Subadvisor or the replacement of the Subadvisor; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the Subadvisor or potential additional Subadvisors, performs appropriate due diligence, and develops and presents to the Board a recommendation as to any such successor, replacement, or additional Subadvisor; designates and compensates from its own resources such personnel as the Investment Manager may consider necessary or appropriate to the performance of its services; and performs such other review and reporting functions as the Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and applicable law. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.
The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding the Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the Funds, including the information set forth in each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadvisor’s risk management processes.
Performance.
As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered the Subadvisor’s performance as compared to an appropriate peer group of managed accounts and also
37 |
Table of Contents
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisor’s relevant performance composite that utilizes the same investment strategy and approach and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and the Subadvisor’s Investment Strategies. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring the Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
Advisory Fees and Profitability.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Fund’s Subadvisor and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from the Investment Manager serving as Investment Manager to a Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the Managers Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current and potential asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for all of the Funds from time to time as a means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and considered the impact on profitability of the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadvisor. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in a manager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is
reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fees for any Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
Subadvisory Fees and Profitability.
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadvisor, the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Subadvisor is not affiliated with the Investment Manager. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to the Subadvisor, including, among others, the indirect benefits that the Subadvisor may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, including any so-called “fallout benefits” to the Subadvisor, such as reputational value derived from the Subadvisor serving as Subadvisor to the Funds, which bear the Subadvisor’s name. In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. As a consequence of all of the foregoing, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with a Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale in the management of a Fund by the Subadvisor to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time.
In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund.
Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance (including the Fund’s performance for periods prior to its acquisition by the Trust on September 27, 2010), the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance (all share classes) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2013 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance and any actions being taken to address such performance. The Trustees noted the impact of the Fund’s underperformance in 2008 and 2009 on the Fund’s longer-term performance. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance is being addressed.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2013 were both lower than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through
38 |
Table of Contents
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
October 1, 2013, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.72%. The Trustees noted that, effective December 1, 2012, the Fund’s share class structure was revised to better conform to the Investment Manager’s platform share class structure. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees, including subadvisory fees, are reasonable.
Managers Cadence Emerging Companies Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance (including the Fund’s performance for periods prior to its acquisition by the Trust on September 27, 2010), the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance (all share classes) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2013 was above, above, above and below, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell Microcap® Growth Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance and noted that the Fund ranked in the top 1% of the Peer Group for the 3-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2013 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through October 1, 2013, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.42%. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and competitiveness with comparably sized funds. The Board also took into account the current size of the Fund and the Peer Group in which the Fund is placed. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees, including subadvisory fees, are reasonable.
Managers Cadence Mid-Cap Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance (including the Fund’s performance for periods prior to its acquisition by the Trust on September 27, 2010), the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance (all share classes) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2013 was below the median performance of the Peer Group
and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s more recent underperformance and any actions being taken to address such performance. The Trustees also noted the impact of the Fund’s recent underperformance and underperformance in 2009 on its longer-term performance and noted that the Fund’s performance was relatively in-line with the Fund Benchmark during 2008, 2010 and 2011. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance is being addressed.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2013 were both lower than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through October 1, 2013, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.72%. The Trustees noted that, effective December 1, 2012, the Fund’s share class structure was revised to better conform to the Investment Manager’s platform share class structure. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees, including subadvisory fees, are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement: (a) the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Fund’s investment objectives; and (c) the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 20-21, 2013, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund.
