ITEM 1: REPORTS TO STOCKHOLDERS.
The Report to Shareholders is attached herewith.

Manning & Napier Fund, Inc.
Real Estate Series
Beginning on February 25, 2021, as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, paper copies of the Series’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you are a direct investor, by visiting www.manning-napier.com or calling1-800-466-3863.
You may elect to receive all future annual and semi-annual reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can inform the Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by visiting www.manning-napier.com or calling1-800-466-3863. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary if you invest through a financial intermediary or all series of the Fund if you invest directly with the Fund.
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 in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
1Class W and Class Z inception date was March 1, 2019.
2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W & Class Z Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Real Estate Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Real Estate Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-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 four classes of shares (Class S, I, W and Z). Class W and Z were issued on March 1, 2019. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class I common stock, 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class S common stock, 75 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class W common stock, and 100 million have been designated as Real Estate Series Class Z 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 inopen-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

Security Valuation(continued)
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.
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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

#Includes certain foreign equity securities for which a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2018 or June 30, 2019.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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 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.

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 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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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

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. Prior to March 1, 2019, the management fee for the Series was 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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was 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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.

Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service(12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares, and 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $376,910 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $7,223 and $108 for Class W and Class Z, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2019, the Advisor is eligible to recoup $7,331. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $22,797,328 and $40,335,354, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities. The Series received proceeds from settlement of litigation where they were able to recover a portion of investment losses previously realized by the Series. This amount is shown as ligation proceeds in the Statement of Operations.

Approximately 64% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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, 2019.
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.
10. | 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, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 5,528,569 | | | |
Long-term capital gains | | $ | 15,115,801 | | | |
Return of capital | | $ | 604,808 | | | |
At June 30, 2019, 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 | | | $244,802,047 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 53,983,848 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (5,137,761 | ) | | |

International 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, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

1Class W inception date was March 1, 2019.
2Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

International Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
International Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-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 four classes of shares (Class S, I, W and Z). Class W shares were issued on March 1, 2019. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as International Series Class I common stock, 250 million have been designated as International Series Class S common stock, 75 million have been designated as International Series Class W common stock, and 100 million have been designated as International Series Class Z common stock. Class Z common stock is not currently offered for sale.
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 inopen-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

International Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Security Valuation(continued)
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.
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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

#Includes certain foreign equity securities for which a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2018 or June 30, 2019.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses(continued)
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.
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 and long term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Series records an estimated deferred tax liability for securities that have been held during 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. To the extent permitted capital losses can be used to offset 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 theex-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. Prior to March 1, 2019, the management fee for the Series was 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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was 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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series);

and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service(12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares, and 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $448,868 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $31,824, $4,068 and $18,104 for Class S, Class I and Class W, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2019, the Advisor is eligible to recoup $21,963. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $342,521,866 and $387,521,479, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

Approximately 67% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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, 2019.
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.

Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

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 in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Diversified Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Diversified Tax Exempt Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-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 Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class A and Class W). Class W shares were issued March 1, 2019. While each class of shares is substantially the same, each class has its own investment eligibility criteria and cost structure. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Diversified Tax Exempt Series Class A common stock and 50 million have been designated as Diversified Tax Exempt Series Class W 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 inopen-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.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2019 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, 2018 or June 30, 2019.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2017-08, Receivables -Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, the premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit,non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. This guidance was adopted by the Series as of January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on January 1, 2019 has been increased by $1. This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class’s of the Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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
20
Diversified Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Federal Taxes(continued)
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
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 dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the
21
Diversified Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $448,325 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor did not waive or reimburse expenses for Class A and Class W for the six months ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $48,830,794 and $79,789,377, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities, other than short-term securities, were $1,016,979 and $2,155, respectively.

5. | Capital Stock Transactions (continued) |
Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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, 2019.
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, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ 56,979 | | |
Tax exempt income | | $3,823,815 | | |
At June 30, 2019, 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 | | $ | 261,021,980 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 6,404,245 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (46,436 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 6,357,809 | | | |
| | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2018, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $432,031 and net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $592,684, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Series has evaluated events and transactions for recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and the following item was noted:

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 in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

1Class W inception date was March 1, 2019.
2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

New York Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
New York Tax Exempt Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-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 Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class A and Class W). Class W shares were issued March 1, 2019. While each class of shares is substantially the same, each class has its own investment eligibility criteria and cost structure. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as New York Tax Exempt Series Class A common stock and 50 million have been designated as New York Tax Exempt Series Class W 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 inopen-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.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of June 30, 2019 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, 2018 or June 30, 2019.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2017-08, Receivables -Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, the premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit,non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. This guidance was adopted by the Series as of January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on January 1, 2019 has been decreased by $171. This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class’s of the Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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 purpose.
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.

Federal Taxes(continued)
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
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 dated March 1, 2017 as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series); and
16
New York Tax Exempt Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $218,042 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor did not waive or reimburse expenses for Class A and Class W for the six months ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $17,358,287 and $30,598,717, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities, other than short-term securities, were $508,434 and $1,440, respectively.

Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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, 2019.
8. | 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.
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, 2018, were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Ordinary income | | $ | 45,982 | |
| | Tax exempt income | | $ | 1,965,437 | |

| | | | | | |
| | |
| | Net unrealized appreciation | | | $ 3,426,312 | |
| | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2018, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $77,048 and net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $118,146, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Series has evaluated events and transactions for recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and the following item was noted:
In July 2019, significant redemptions occurred in the Series that were initiated by the Advisor on fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion. These redemptions totaled approximately $40,992,000, which amounts to roughly 31% of net assets attributable to shareholders at June 30, 2019.

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, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

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 inopen-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. 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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, the premium

New Accounting Pronouncements(continued)
amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit,non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. This guidance was adopted by the Series as of January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on January 1, 2019 has been decreased by $32,356. This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class’s of the Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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.
Asset-Backed Securities
The Series may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e. loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Series may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Series has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Series may invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS” or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the Series to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those
22
Core Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Mortgage-Backed Securities(continued)
mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on the issuer. For MBS there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are securities issued bynon-governmental issuers and have no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment and are subject to various risks.Non-agency mortgage loans are obligations of the borrowers thereunder only and are not typically insured or guaranteed by any other person or entity. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances, may impair a borrower’s ability to repay its loans.
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, 2019.
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, 2019.
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, 2019.
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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 0.25% of the Series’ average daily net assets. Prior to March 1, 2019, the management fee for the Series was 0.40% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
24
Core Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was 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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service(12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares, and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating

expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $131,329 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $13,962, $10,534, $42,606 and $6,679 for Class S, Class I, Class W and Class Z, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2019, the Advisor is eligible to recoup $49,285. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $20,000,177 and $16,926,088, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities, other than short-term securities, were $51,405,415 and $32,625,714, respectively.

At June 30, 2019, the Income Series, another series of the Fund, owned 10.5% of the Series. Approximately 85% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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, 2019.
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.
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.

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, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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 1/1/191 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/19 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 1/1/19-6/30/192 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO |
Class S |
| | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,030.00 | | $3.76 | | 0.75% |
| | | | |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.09 | | $3.74 | | 0.75% |
|
Class I |
| | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,031.30 | | $2.42 | | 0.48% |
| | | | |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,022.41 | | $2.41 | | 0.48% |
|
Class W |
| | | | |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,017.00 | | $0.17 | | 0.05% |
| | | | |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,016.41 | | $0.17 | | 0.05% |
1Class W inception date was March 1, 2019.
2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Unconstrained Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Unconstrained Bond Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-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 four classes of shares (Class S, I, W, and Z). Class W shares were issued on March 1, 2019. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Unconstrained Bond Series Class I common stock, 125 million have been designated as Unconstrained Bond Series Class S common stock, 150 million have been designated as Unconstrained Bond Series Class W common stock, and 100 million have been designated as Unconstrained Bond Series Class Z common stock. Class Z common stock is not currently offered for sale.
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 inopen-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. 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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2017-08, Receivables -Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, the premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit,non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. This guidance was adopted by the Series as of January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on January 1, 2019 has been decreased by $26,417. This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class’s of the Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 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 withoff-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 Series’ forward foreign currency exchange 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). No such investments were held by the Series on June 30, 2019.
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 Advisor 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).
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

Unconstrained Bond Series

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Option Contracts(continued)
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 subsequentlymarked-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 subsequentlymarked-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.

Asset-Backed Securities
The Series may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e. loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Series may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Series has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Series may invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS” or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the Series to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on the issuer. For MBS there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are securities issued bynon-governmental issuers and have no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment and are subject to various risks.Non-agency mortgage loans are obligations of the borrowers thereunder only and are not typically insured or guaranteed by any other person or entity. The
28

Mortgage-Backed Securities(continued)
ability of a borrower to repay a loan is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances, may impair a borrower’s ability to repay its loans.
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, 2019.
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, 2019.
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 hold by the Series on June 30, 2019.
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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 0.30% of the Series’ average daily net assets. Prior to March 1, 2019, the management fee for the Series was 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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual
30

amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was 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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service(12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares, and 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $816,204 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $15,003, $622 and $13,867 for Class S, Class I, and Class W, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2019, the Advisor is eligible to recoup $13,867. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.

Over 90% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During six months ended June 30, 2019, the series did not borrow under the line of credit.
7. | 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series invested in forward foreign currency exchange contracts (foreign currency exchange risk), futures contracts (foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk) and options purchased (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.
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.
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, 2018 were as follows:
Ordinary income $19,193,832
At June 30, 2019, 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 | | $ | 919,889,717 | | | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 9,114,118 | | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (9,363,501 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (249,383 | ) | | |
| | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2018, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $2,435,492 and net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $1,105,712, 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 in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
1Class W and Class Z inception date was March 1, 2019.
2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W & Class Z Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

High Yield Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
High Yield Bond Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide a high level of long-term total return by investing principally innon-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 four classes of shares (Class S, I, W and Z). Class W and Z shares were issued on March 1, 2019. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as High Yield Bond Series Class I common stock, 125 million have been designated as High Yield Bond Series Class S common stock, 50 million have been designated as High Yield Bond Series Class W common stock, and 100 million have been designated as High Yield Bond Series Class Z 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 inopen-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.

Security Valuation(continued)
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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, the premium

New Accounting Pronouncements(continued)
amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit,non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to be amortized to maturity. This guidance was adopted by the Series as of January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on January 1, 2019 has been decreased by $96. This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class’s of the Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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, 2019.
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, 2019.
Asset-Backed Securities
The Series may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e. loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Series may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Series has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Series may invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS” or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the Series to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on the issuer. For MBS, there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities that they issue. For example, mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by Ginnie Mae and such guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. However, mortgage-related securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates, which are solely the obligations of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States, but are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.Non-agency mortgage-backed securities are securities issued bynon-governmental issuers and have no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment and are subject to various risks.Non-agency mortgage loans are obligations of the borrowers thereunder only and are not typically insured or guaranteed by any other person or entity. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan is dependent upon the income or assets of the borrower. A number of factors, including a general economic downturn, acts of God, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances, may impair a borrower’s ability to repay its loans.
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.

Federal Taxes(continued)
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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. Prior to March 1, 2019, the management fee for the Series was 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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was 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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0. 0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series); and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service(12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares, and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. The Advisor may receive from a Class the difference between the Class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, and the Class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers (other than Class W management fee waivers) or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, not including excluded expenses, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the advisory fee waiver, the Advisor waived $92,566 in management fees for Class W for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $14,810, $7,487, $24,518 and $3,803 for Class S, Class I, Class W and Class Z, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations.

High Yield Bond Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
7. | 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, 2019.
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.
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.
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, 2018 were as follows:
Ordinary income $6,294,548
At June 30, 2019, 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 | | $
| 109,856,336
|
|
Unrealized appreciation | | | 1,408,253 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (3,142,387 | ) |

Beginning on February 25, 2021, as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, paper copies of the Series’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you are a direct investor, by visiting www.manning-napier.com or calling 1-800-466-3863.
You may elect to receive all future annual and semi-annual reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports.

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, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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 1/1/19 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 6/30/19 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 1/1/19-6/30/191 | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO2 |
Class S |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,103.20 | | $2.09 | | 0.40% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,022.81 | | $2.01 | | 0.40% |
Class I |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,104.40 | | $0.83 | | 0.16% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,024.00 | | $0.80 | | 0.16% |
1Expenses 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 theone-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year; therefore, the expense ratios stated above may differ from the expense ratios stated in the financial highlights, which are based onone-year data. The Class’ total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.
2Expense ratios of each 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.

Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Income Series, formerly known as Strategic Income Moderate Series, (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-end management investment company.
Income Series’ investment objective is to manage against capital risk and generate income with a secondary goal of pursuing long-term capital growth.
The 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, 2019, the Underlying Series include the Core Bond Series, Disciplined Value Series, High Yield Bond Series, Real Estate Series and Equity Income Series of the Fund. 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.
The Series is authorized to issue three classes of shares (Class S, I and Z). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate.
The Fund’s advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million each have been designated as Income Series Class I common stock, Income Series Class S common stock and Income Series Class Z common stock. Class Z common stock are not currently offered for sale.
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
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 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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2018 or June 30, 2019.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-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 theex-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 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, 2019, 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
10
Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Federal Taxes(continued)
years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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 invests.
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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was intended to compensate financial
11

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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 $39,400. Additionally, certain transaction and out-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves as sub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Series’ total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, to 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, and 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. This contractual waiver is expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. Prior to March 1, 2019, the contractual expense limitation for the Class S and Class I shares of the Series was 0.05%. The Advisor’s agreement to limit each class’s operating expenses is limited to direct operating expenses, and, therefore, does not apply to acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”), which are indirect expenses incurred by the Series through its investments in the underlying funds. The Advisor may receive from a class the difference between the class’s total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of Rule 12b-1 Fees, and the class’s contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers or expense reimbursements made during the rolling three-year period preceding the recoupment if at any point the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of distribution and service (12b-1) fees, are below the contractual expense limit (a) at the time of the fee waiver and/ or expense reimbursement and (b) at the time of the recoupment.
Pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $28,425 and $16,990 for Class S and Class I, respectively, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2019, the Advisor is eligible to recoup $25,074. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $58,886,618 and $52,339,216, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts and purchased options during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
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. Each 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, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,120,143 | |
Long-term capital gain | | $ | 2,193,710 | |
At June 30, 2019, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, the resulting gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation, and the net unrealized appreciation were as follows:

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 in each class at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019).
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.

Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
1Class W and Class Z inception date was March 1, 2019.
2Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio (for thesix-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect theone-half year period) (except for the Series’ Class W & Class Z Actual and Hypothetical return information, which reflects the 122 day period ended June 30, 2019 due to its inception date of March 1, 2019). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Equity Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Equity Income Series (the “Series”) is ano-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 anopen-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 four classes of shares (Class S, I, W and Z). Class W and Class Z shares were issued on March 1, 2019. Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that class specific distribution and shareholder servicing expenses are borne by the specific class of shares to which they relate. 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, 2019, 10 billion shares have been designated in total among 34 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Equity Income Series Class I common stock, 100 million have been designated as Equity Income Series Class S common stock, 50 million have been designated as Equity Income Series Class W common stock, and 100 million have been designated as Equity Income Series Class Z 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 inopen-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

Equity Income Series
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Security Valuation(continued)
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.
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, 2019 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

#Includes certain foreign equity securities for which a factor from a third party vendor was applied to determine the securities’ fair value following the close of local trading.
There were no Level 3 securities held by the Series as of December 31, 2018 or June 30, 2019.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date, except that if theex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of theex-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.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
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 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.
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, 2019, 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, 2015 through December 31, 2018. 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 theex-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 0.45% of the Series’ average daily net assets. Prior to March 1, 2019, the management fee for the Series was 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 otherout-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director, who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Fund may enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund may pay financial intermediaries fornon-distribution relatedsub-transfer agency, administrative,sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares of the Series. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on the current assets and/or number of accounts of the Series attributable to the financial intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to such agreements may be in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any Distribution and Shareholder Services Fee payable under the Rule12b-1 plan of the Fund.
Prior to March 1, 2019, the Class S shares of the Series were subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Fund’s Board. The shareholder services fee was 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, the Class S shares of the Series paid 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 had a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor received 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. Effective March 1, 2019, the Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class S shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, the Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class S shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated March 1, 2017, as amended, the Fund pays 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 Income Series); 0.0075% on the next $15 billion of average daily net assets (excluding Target Series and Income Series);

and 0.0065% of average daily net assets in excess of $40 billion (excluding Target Series and Income Series); plus a base fee of $30,400 per series. Additionally, certain transaction andout-of-pocket expenses, including charges for reporting relating to the Fund’s compliance program, are charged. The Advisor has agreements with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (“BNY”) under which BNY serves assub-accountant services agent.
Effective March 1, 2019, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. The full management fee will be waived under this agreement because Class W shares are only available to discretionary investment accounts and other accounts managed by the Advisor. These clients pay a management fee to the advisor that is separate from the fund’s expenses. In addition, pursuant to a separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit its fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total direct annual fund operating expenses, exclusive of the shareholder services fee and/or distribution and service(12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares, 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class W shares, and 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares. These contractual waivers are expected to continue indefinitely, and may not be amended or terminated by the Advisor without the approval of the Series’ Board of Directors. Prior to March 1, 2019, the contractual expense limitation for the Class S and Class I shares of the Series was 0.75%.

At June 30, 2019, the Income Series, another series of the Fund, owned 10.5% of the Series. Approximately 88% of the shares outstanding are fiduciary accounts where the Advisor has sole investment discretion.
The Fund has entered into a364-day, $25 million credit agreement (the “line of credit”) with Bank of New York Mellon. Each series of the Fund may borrow under the line of credit for temporary or emergency purposes, including funding shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund pays an annual fee on the unused commitment amount, payable quarterly, and is allocated among all the series of the Fund and included in miscellaneous expenses in the Statement of Operations for each series. The line of credit expires in August 2019 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
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, 2019.

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.
