Real Estate Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.

| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Class S | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,045.60 | | $5.58 | | 1.10% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,019.34 | | $5.51 | | 1.10% |
Class I | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,047.00 | | $4.31 | | 0.85% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,020.58 | | $4.26 | | 0.85% |
*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

Real Estate Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Real Estate Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide high current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in companies in the real estate industry.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Security Valuation (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
��
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
DESCRIPTION | | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Total assets | | $ | 318,747,854 | | | $ | 309,219,000 | | | $ | 9,528,854 | | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
The Fund records distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund adjusts the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the market value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.95% of average daily net assets. The Advisor did not waive any fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay

the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a Series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $62,445,993 and $59,372,806, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

Approximately 68% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.

Real Estate Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
The Series may focus its investments in certain real estate related industries; hence, the Series may subject itself to a greater degree of risk than a series that is more diversified.
9. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,979,900 | | | | | | | | | |
Long-term capital gains | | $ | 12,146,537 | | | | | | | | | |
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 275,893,386 | | | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 50,788,029 | | | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (7,933,561 | ) | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 42,854,468 | | | | | |

Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.
| | | | | | | | |
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Class S | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,133.60 | | $5.82 | | 1.10% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,019.34 | | $5.51 | | 1.10% |
Class I | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,134.60 | | $4.50 | | 0.85% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,020.58 | | $4.26 | | 0.85% |
*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

International Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
International Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term growth by investing principally in the common stocks of companies located outside the United States.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 250 million have been designated as International Series Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated as International Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Security Valuation (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Series may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge a portfolio position or specific transaction. Risks may arise if the counterparties to a contract are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the foreign currency moves unfavorably.
All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency and, for financial statement purposes, any gain or loss is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until a contract has been closed.
The Series may regularly trade forward foreign currency exchange contracts with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax. The Series is subject to a tax imposed on short term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Series records an estimated deferred tax liability for securities that have been held for less than a year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount is reported in Accrued foreign capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short term realized capital gains.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of

each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.85% of average daily net assets. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $138,320 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short- term securities, were $329,310,508 and $332,511,255, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

Approximately 64% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 3,573,320 | | | |
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 481,442,944 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 60,304,797 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (10,896,611 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 49,408,186 | | | |
| | | | | | |
At December 31, 2016, the Series had net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $13,433,884, which may be carried forward indefinitely.

World Opportunities Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | |
Class S | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| |
Actual | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,145.40 | | | | $5.85 | |
| |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,019.34 | | | | $5.51 | |
| |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 1.10%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

World Opportunities Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
World Opportunities Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term growth by investing principally in the common stocks of companies located around the world.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. Effective May 1, 2017, Class A shares of the Series have been redesignated as Class S shares. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 2.5 billion have been designated as World Opportunities Series Class S common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Security Valuation (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
DESCRIPTION | | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |

Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Series’ average daily net assets. Prior to May 1, 2017, the contractual management fee for the Series was 1.00%.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
Effective May 1, 2017, shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Shares of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of shares. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
Effective May 1, 2017, the Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least February 28, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of shareholder services fees, at no more than 0.85% of average daily net assets each year. The Series did not have a contractual expense limitation prior to April 30, 2017. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $304,926 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets

(excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $138,449,458 and $258,014,607, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Approximately 16% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

Ohio Tax Exempt Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.
| | | | | | |
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 |
Class A | | | | | | |
|
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.80 | | $3.91 |
|
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,020.93 | | $3.91 |
|
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.78%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Valuation (continued)
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
DESCRIPTION | | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Debt securities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
States and political subdivisions (municipals) | | $ | 41,459,616 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 41,459,616 | | | $ | — | |
Mutual fund | | | 672,839 | | | | 672,839 | | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total assets | | $ | 42,132,455 | | | $ | 672,839 | | | $ | 41,459,616 | | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.85% of average daily net assets each year. The Advisor did not waive any fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”)
14

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short- term securities, were $1,685,332 and $3,744,261 respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
5. | Capital Stock Transactions |
Transactions in Class A shares of Ohio Tax Exempt Series were:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
7. | Concentration of Credit |
The Series primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the State of Ohio and its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The Series is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issues of Ohio municipal securities than is a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in these issues to the same extent.

8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Ordinary income | | $ | 1,800 | |
| | Tax exempt income | | $ | 356,942 | |
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 41,637,368 | |
| | Unrealized appreciation | | | 629,546 | |
| | Unrealized depreciation | | | (134,459 | ) |
| | | | | | |
| | Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 495,087 | |
| | | | | | |
At December 31, 2016, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $11,099 and net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $47,771 which may be carried forward indefinitely.

Diversified Tax Exempt Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.

|
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.92 | | $2.91 |
|
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.58%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

Diversified Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Diversified Tax Exempt Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as the Advisor believes is consistent with the preservation of capital.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Diversified Tax Exempt Series Class A common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Municipal securities will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations provided by an independent pricing service (the “Service”). The Service utilizes the latest price quotations and a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices of similar securities, yields, maturities and ratings). The Service has been approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Valuation (continued)
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
DESCRIPTION | | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.85% of average daily net assets each year. The Advisor did not waive any fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”)
22

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $605,725 and $25,179,969, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
7. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

New York Tax Exempt Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.
| | | | | | |
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,024.50 | | $3.06 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.77 | | $3.06 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.61%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year.

New York Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
New York Tax Exempt Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax and New York State personal income tax as the Advisor believes is consistent with the preservation of capital.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated as New York Tax Exempt Series Class A common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Municipal securities will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations provided by an independent pricing service (the “Service”). The Service utilizes the latest price quotations and a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices of similar securities, yields, maturities and ratings). The Service has been approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Security Valuation (continued)
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
DESCRIPTION | | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Federal Taxes (continued)
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.85% of average daily net assets each year. The Advisor did not waive any fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per

account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $3,713,217 and $2,812,288, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
5. | Capital Stock Transactions |
Transactions in Class A shares of New York Tax Exempt Series were:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
7. | Concentration of Credit |
The Series primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the State of New York and its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The Series is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issues of New York municipal securities than is a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in these issues to the same extent.

8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | | $ 4,245 | | | |
Tax exempt income | | | $1,644,515 | | | |
Long-term capital gains | | | $ 57,361 | | | |
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 156,936,669 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 2,742,374 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (309,615 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |

Core Bond Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.

*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided directly by an independent pricing service (the “Service”). The pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Certain investments in securities held by the Series may be valued on a basis of a price provided directly by a principal market maker. These prices may differ from the value that would have been used had a broader market for securities existed.
Municipal securities will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations provided by the Service. The Service utilizes the latest price quotations and a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices of similar securities, yields, maturities and ratings). The Service has been approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.

Security Valuation (continued)
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds
The Series may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment
The Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment. These transactions involve a commitment by the Series to purchase securities for a predetermined price with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When such purchases are outstanding, the Series will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Series assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment (continued)
In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis, the Series may enter into forward roll transactions principally using To Be Announced (TBA) securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Series to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-backed pools. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series accounts for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Information regarding securities purchased on a when-issued basis is included in the Series’ Investment Portfolio. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Illiquid Securities
A security may be considered illiquid if so deemed in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board. Securities that are illiquid are marked with the applicable footnote on the Investment Portfolio. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.45% of average daily net assets. The Advisor waived fees of $60,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay

the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $43,318,398 and $32,707,304, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities, other than short-term securities, were $15,808,056 and $5,976,154, respectively.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Approximately 79% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.

Core Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 4,549,446 | | | |
Long-term capital gains | | $ | 90,341 | | | |
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 195,254,780 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 2,144,050 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (1,035,847 | ) | | |

Unconstrained Bond Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds.

Unconstrained Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Unconstrained Bond Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ primary investment objective is to provide long-term total return, and its secondary objective is to provide preservation of capital.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same except the Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 125 million have been designated as Unconstrained Bond Series Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated as Unconstrained Bond Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds, loan assignments, and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided directly by an independent pricing service (the “Service”). The pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Certain investments in securities held by the Series may be valued on a basis of a price provided directly by a principal market maker. These prices may differ from the value that would have been used had a broader market for securities existed.
The fair value of loan assignments is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Loan assignments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable, in which case they would be categorized in Level 3.
Municipal securities will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations provided by the Service. The Service utilizes the latest price quotations and a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices of similar securities, yields, maturities and ratings). The Service has been approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

Security Valuation (continued)
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
*Other financial instruments are futures (Level 1) and forwards (Level 2). Futures and forwards are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific examples are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and
24

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Foreign Currency Translation (continued)
income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds
The Series may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Series may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge a portfolio position or specific transaction. Risks may arise if the counterparties to a contract are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the foreign currency moves unfavorably.
All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency and, for financial statement purposes, any gain or loss is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until a contract has been closed.
The Series may regularly trade forward foreign currency exchange contracts with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The notional or contractual amount of these instruments represents the investment the Series has in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially at risk. The measurement of the risks associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The average month-end balances for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the period in which forward foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding, as measured in terms of the notional amount, was approximately $15,902,140.
Futures
The Series may purchase or sell exchange-traded futures contracts, which are contracts that obligate the Series to make or take delivery of a financial instrument or the cash value of a security index at a specified future date at a specified price. The Series may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the bond market or changes in interest rates and currency values, or for gaining exposure to markets. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market at the time the Adviser to the Series may be attempting to sell some or all the Series holdings or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Series is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Series, generally on a daily basis. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Series recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
Futures transactions involve minimal counterparty risk since futures contracts are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. The Series’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty, and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

Average notional value of contracts sold | | $103,852,870 | | |
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment
The Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment. These transactions involve a commitment by the Series to purchase securities for a predetermined price with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When such purchases are outstanding, the Series will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Series assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment (continued)
In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis, the Series may enter into forward roll transactions principally using To Be Announced (TBA) securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Series to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-backed pools. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series accounts for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Information regarding securities purchased on a when-issued basis is included in the Series’ Investment Portfolio. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Illiquid Securities
A security may be considered illiquid if so deemed in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board. Securities that are illiquid are marked with the applicable footnote on the Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may
27

Indemnifications (continued)
also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.45% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.50% of average daily net assets each year. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Advisor did not waive fees or reimburse expenses for the Series. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, a trade processing error was discovered for which it was determined that the Advisor will reimburse the Series $34,578. The impact of the Advisor’s contribution on the Series’ total return was immaterial. As of June 30, 2017, the respective amount is included in the capital shares transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and

Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each Series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

6. | Financial Instruments and Loan Assignments |
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these

contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. At June 30, 2017, the Series invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts (foreign currency exchange risk) and futures contracts (interest rate risk).
The Series may invest in a loan assignment of all or a portion of the loans. The Series has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when it purchases an assignment; however, the Series’ rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Series may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions and may become illiquid due to economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan assignments and certain loan assignments which were liquid when purchased may become illiquid. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 17,322,227 | | | |
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 855,363,002 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 10,920,275 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (10,696,152 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 224,123 | | | |
| | | | | | |
At December 31, 2016, the Series had net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $2,166,793, which may be carried forward indefinitely.

High Yield Bond Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.
| | | | | | | | |
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Class S | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,055.20 | | $4.59 | | 0.90% |
Hypothetical | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,020.33 | | $4.51 | | 0.90% |
Class I | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,057.10 | | $3.32 | | 0.65% |
Hypothetical | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.57 | | $3.26 | | 0.65% |
*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

High Yield Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
High Yield Bond Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide a high level of long-term total return by investing principally in non-investment grade fixed income securities that are issued by government and corporate entities.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S & Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 125 million have been designated as High Yield Bond Series Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated as High Yield Bond Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds, loan assignments, and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided directly by an independent pricing service. The pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Certain investments in securities held by the Series may be valued on a basis of a price provided directly by a principal market maker. These prices may differ from the value that would have been used had a broader market for securities existed.
The fair value of loan assignments is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Loan assignments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable, in which case they would be categorized in Level 3.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level

Security Valuation (continued)
of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment
The Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment. These transactions involve a commitment by the Series to purchase securities for a predetermined price with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When such purchases are outstanding, the Series will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Series assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis, the Series may enter into forward roll transactions principally using To Be Announced (TBA) securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Series to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-backed pools. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series accounts for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Information regarding securities purchased on a when-issued basis is included in the Series’ Investment Portfolio. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.

Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Illiquid Securities
A security may be considered illiquid if so deemed in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board. Securities that are illiquid are marked with the applicable footnote on the Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.65% of average daily net assets. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $38,626 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, a trade processing error was discovered for which it was determined that the Advisor will reimburse the Series $87,034. The impact of the Advisor’s contribution on the Series’ total return was immaterial. As of June 30, 2017, the respective amount is included in the capital shares transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.

6. | Financial Instruments and Loan Assignments |
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
The Series may invest in a loan assignment of all or a portion of the loans. The Series has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when it purchases an assignment; however, the Series’ rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Series may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions and may become illiquid due to economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan assignments and certain loan assignments which were liquid when purchased may become illiquid. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
Ordinary income $9,500,378
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 112,734,918 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 3,312,888 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (2,963,649 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 349,239 | | | |
| | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2016, the Series had net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $6,980,741, which may be carried forward indefinitely.

Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines for each Class in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Class S | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,065.70 | | $5.89 | | 1.15% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,019.09 | | $5.76 | | 1.15% |
Class I | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,066.60 | | $4.61 | | 0.90% |
Hypothetical | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,020.33 | | $4.51 | | 0.90% |
*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Emerging Markets Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Emerging Markets Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term growth.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Emerging Markets Series Class S common stock, and 100 million have been designated as Emerging Markets Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Security Valuation (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Series may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge a portfolio position or specific transaction. Risks may arise if the counterparties to a contract are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the foreign currency moves unfavorably.
All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency and, for financial statement purposes, any gain or loss is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until a contract has been closed.
The Series may regularly trade forward foreign currency exchange contracts with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The notional or contractual amount of these instruments represents the investment the Series has in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially at risk. The measurement of the risks associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. As of June 30, 2017, no investments in forward foreign currency exchange contracts were held by the Series.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax. The Series is subject to a tax imposed on short term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Series records an estimated deferred tax liability for securities that have been held for less than a year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount is reported in Accrued foreign capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short term realized capital gains.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.90% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $43,701 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $18,434,160 and $34,277,200, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

Approximately 78% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series as of June 30, 2017.
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.

Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the tables below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Series and Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of the tables below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Series and Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

1Expense ratios of the Class do not include fees and expenses indirectly incurred by the underlying funds. If these expenses were included, the expense ratios would have been higher.
2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reimbursed during the period.

Strategic Income Conservative Series and Strategic Income Moderate Series (each the “Series”) are no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
Strategic Income Conservative Series’ investment objective is to manage against capital risk and generate income with a secondary goal of pursuing long-term capital growth. Strategic Income Moderate Series’ investment objective is to manage against capital risk while generating income and pursuing long-term capital growth.
Each Series seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a combination of other Manning & Napier mutual funds (the “Underlying Series”). As of June 30, 2017, the Underlying Series include the Core Bond Series, Unconstrained Bond Series, Disciplined Value Series, High Yield Bond Series, Real Estate Series and Equity Income Series of the Fund for Strategic Income Conservative Series and Strategic Income Moderate Series. The financial statements of the Underlying Series, which are available at www.manning-napier.com, should be read in conjunction with the Series’ financial statements.
Each Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear a shareholder services fee.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of each Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. Each Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Investments in the Underlying Series are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date. In the absence of the availability of a net asset value per share on the Underlying Series, security valuations may be determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measure fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.

Security Valuation (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level on any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | STRATEGIC INCOME CONSERVATIVE SERIES | |
DESCRIPTION | | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by either of the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Series, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class. Expenses included in the accompanying Statements of Operations do not include any expense of the Underlying Series.
The Series use the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Federal Taxes
Each Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/ repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which they invest, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Advisor does not receive an advisory fee for the services it performs for the Series. However, the Advisor is entitled to receive an advisory fee from each of the Underlying Series in which the Series invest.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend,

which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder service plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client services, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to limit each class’ total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series at no more than 0.05% for each class, exclusive of each class’ shareholder services fee, of average daily net assets each year. The Advisor’s agreement to limit each class’ operating expenses is limited to direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to the indirect expenses incurred by the Series through their investments in the Underlying Series. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Advisor reimbursed expenses of $56,680 for Strategic Income Conservative Series and $53,398 for Strategic Income Moderate Series, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statements of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.00225% of average daily net assets with an annual base fee of $45,400 per Strategic Income series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.00225% of average daily net assets with an annual base fee of $45,400 per Strategic Income series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.

At June 30, 2017, approximately 6% of the shares outstanding of the Strategic Income Moderate Series are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Underlying Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Underlying Series may be subject to various elements of risk which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Underlying Series to close out their position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Unconstrained Bond Series held futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts at June 30, 2017.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | |
| | STRATEGIC INCOME CONSERVATIVE SERIES | | STRATEGIC INCOME MODERATE SERIES |
Ordinary income | | $654,516 | | $733,206 |
Long-term capital gain | | $226,936 | | $564,363 |

Global Fixed Income Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO | |
Class S | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,050.50 | | | | $4.32 | | | | 0.85% | |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,020.58 | | | | $4.26 | | | | 0.85% | |
Class I | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,024.40 | | | | $3.51 | | | | 0.70% | |
Hypothetical | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,021.32 | | | | $3.51 | | | | 0.70% | |
*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Global Fixed Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Global Fixed Income Series (the “Series”) is a no-load non-diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term total return by investing principally in fixed income securities of issuers located anywhere in the world.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same except the Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Global Fixed Income Series Class S common stock, and 100 million designated as Global Fixed Income Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided directly by an independent pricing service (the “Service”). The pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value. Certain investments in securities held by the Series may be valued on a basis of a price provided directly by a principal market maker. These prices may differ from the value that would have been used had a broader market for securities existed.
Municipal securities will normally be valued on the basis of market valuations provided by the Service. The Service utilizes the latest price quotations and a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices of similar securities, yields, maturities and ratings). The Service has been approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are

Security Valuation (continued)
comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
*Other financial instruments are forwards (Level 2). Forwards are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Series may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge a portfolio position or specific transaction. Risks may arise if the counterparties to a contract are unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the foreign currency moves unfavorably.
All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily by the exchange rate of the underlying currency and, for financial statement purposes, any gain or loss is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until a contract has been closed.
The Series may regularly trade forward foreign currency exchange contracts with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities to assist in managing exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The notional or contractual amount of these instruments represents the investment the Series has in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially at risk. The measurement of the risks associated with forward foreign currency exchange contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The average month-end balances for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the period in which forward foreign currency exchange contracts were outstanding, as measured in terms of the notional amount, was approximately $11,133,883.
The following table presents the effect of the derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations at June 30, 2017:

Inflation-Indexed Bonds
The Series may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included as interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment
The Series may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment. These transactions involve a commitment by the Series to purchase securities for a predetermined price with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When such purchases are outstanding, the Series will designate liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Series assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
In connection with its ability to purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis, the Series may enter into forward roll transactions principally using To Be Announced (TBA) securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specified future date. Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Series to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down speed variance between the mortgage-backed pools. During the roll period, the Series forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Series accounts for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Information regarding securities purchased on a when-issued basis is included in the Series’ Investment Portfolio. No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2017.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Illiquid Securities
A security may be considered illiquid if so deemed in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board. Securities that are illiquid are marked with the applicable footnote on the Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax. The Series is subject to a tax imposed on short term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The
22
Global Fixed Income Series

Foreign Taxes (continued)
Series records an estimated deferred tax liability for securities that have been held for less than a year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount is reported in Accrued foreign capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short term realized capital gains.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, exclusive of Class S’s shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.70% of average daily net assets each year. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $31,617 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed in prior years.

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, a trade processing error was discovered for which it was determined that the Advisor will reimburse the Series $11,761. The impact of the Advisor’s contribution on the Series’ total return was immaterial. As of June 30, 2017, the respective amount is included in the capital shares transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $25,629,096 and $31,067,089, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities, other than short-term securities, were $903,795 and $4,392,368, respectively.

Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. At June 30, 2017, the Series invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts (foreign currency exchange risk).
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
8. | Federal Income Tax Information |
The amount and characterization of certain income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The Series may periodically make reclassifications among its capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations without impacting the Series’ net asset value. Any such reclassifications are not reflected in the financial highlights.
The final determination of the tax character of current year distributions will be made at the conclusion of the fiscal year. There were no distributions paid for the year ended December 31, 2016.
At June 30, 2017, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized depreciation were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | | $ | 187,475,477 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 3,464,144 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (8,936,181 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (5,472,037 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2016, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $897,115 and net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $1,583,760, which may be carried forward indefinitely.

Equity Income Series
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of each Class in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. 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.

| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 1/1/17 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/17 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD* 1/1/17-6/30/17 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Class S | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,048.00 | | $4.82 | | 0.95% |
Hypothetical | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,020.08 | | $4.76 | | 0.95% |
Class I | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,048.00 | | $3.81 | | 0.75% |
Hypothetical | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.08 | | $3.76 | | 0.75% |
*Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Equity Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Equity Income Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ primary investment objectives are to provide current income and income growth, and it has a secondary goal of providing long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class I). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder services fees. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of June 30, 2017, 10.6 billion shares have been designated in total among 39 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Equity Income Series Class S common stock, and 100 million have been designated as Equity Income Series Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.

Security Valuation (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
DESCRIPTION | �� | TOTAL | | | LEVEL 1 | | | LEVEL 2 | | | LEVEL 3 | |

Please see the Investment Portfolio for foreign securities where a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading. Such securities are included in Level 2 in the table above.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2016 or June 30, 2017.
The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the valuation levels as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
New Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. The compliance date for implementing the new or amended rules is August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses (continued)
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Option Contracts
The Series may write (sell) or buy call or put options on securities and other financial instruments. When the Series writes a call, the Series gives the purchaser the right to buy the underlying security from the Series at the price specified in the option contract (the “exercise price”) at any time during the option period. When the Series writes a put option, the Series gives the purchaser the right to sell to the Series the underlying security at the exercise price at any time during the option period. The Series will only write options on a “covered basis.” This means that the Series will own the underlying security when the Series writes a call or the Series will put aside cash, U.S. Government securities, or other liquid assets in an amount not less than the exercise price at all times the put option is outstanding.
When the Series writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The Series, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security or financial instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. There is a risk that the Series may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The Series may also purchase options in an attempt to hedge against fluctuations in the value of its portfolio and to protect against declines in the value of the securities. The premium paid by the Series for the purchase of an option is reflected as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.
When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Series enters into a closing transaction), the Series realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premium received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received).
The measurement of the risks associated with option contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The counterparty for the Series’ written options contracts outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon Company. No such investments were held by the Series on December 31, 2016.

Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At June 30, 2017, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the period ended December 31, 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2016. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair and Governance & Nominating Committee Chair, who each receive an additional annual stipend for each role.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of Class S. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.
The Advisor has contractually agreed, until at least April 30, 2018, to waive its fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series exclusive of each share class’ shareholder services fee, at no more than 0.75% of average daily net assets. Accordingly, the Advisor waived fees of $28,958 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Advisor is not eligible to recoup any expenses that have been waived or reimbursed.

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. The services of Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc. are provided at no additional cost to the Series.
Pursuant to a master services agreement effective through February 28, 2017, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Transfer agent fees were charged to the Fund on a per account basis. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, were charged. The Advisor had agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY served as sub-accountant services agent and sub-transfer agent. Effective March 1, 2017, BNY became the named transfer agent for the Fund. Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, the Fund continues to pay the Advisor the annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.0085% on the first $25 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Strategic Income Series); plus the base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The agreement between the Advisor and BNY under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent continues to be in effect.
Expenses not directly attributable to a series are allocated based on each series’ relative net assets or number of accounts, depending on the expense.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $25,114,593 and $22,955,015 respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

The Series may trade in instruments including written and purchased options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts and other derivatives in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to various market risks. The Series may be subject to various elements of risk, which may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. These risks include: the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to over the counter derivative counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were held by the Series at June 30, 2017.
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of domestic companies and the U.S. Government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable domestic companies and the U.S. Government.
