Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. Equity Series Beginning on June 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. 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 calling 1-800-466-3863. 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. |
Equity 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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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 11/1/19 | | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/30/20 | | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 11/1/19-4/30/201 | | | ANNUALIZED EXPENSE RATIO | |
Class S | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,014.20 | | | | $5.26 | | | | 1.05% | |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,019.64 | | | | $5.27 | | | | 1.05% | |
Class W | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Actual | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,019.70 | | | | $0.25 | | | | 0.05% | |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | | $1,000.00 | | | | $1,024.61 | | | | $0.25 | | | | 0.05% | |
1Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Equity Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Equity Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide long-term growth of capital.
The Series is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class S and Class W). Each class of shares is substantially the same, except that Class S shares bear shareholder servicing fees.
The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2020, 8.9 billion shares have been designated in total among 31 series, of which 200 million have been designated as Equity Series Class S common stock and 100 million have been designated as Equity 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
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.
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 April 30, 2020 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 October 31, 2019 or April 30, 2020.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At April 30, 2020, the Series has recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Federal Taxes (continued)
The Series files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, 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 October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Class S shares of the Series are subject to a shareholder services fee in accordance with a shareholder services plan adopted by the Board. The shareholder services fee is intended to compensate financial intermediaries, including affiliates of the Fund, in connection with the provision of direct client service, personal services, maintenance of shareholder accounts and reporting services. For these services, Class S of the Series pay a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class S shares. The Fund has a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Advisor, for which the Advisor receives the shareholder services fee as stated above.

3. | Transactions with Affiliates (continued) |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. 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 waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Class S shares and 0.05% 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 $1,187 in management fees for Class W shares for the six months ended April 30, 2020. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $73,531 and $383 for Class S and Class W shares, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2020. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
As of April 30, 2020, the class specific waivers or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:
CLASS | | EXPIRING OCTOBER 31, | |
| | 2022 | | | 2023 | |
Class S | | | $108,913 | | | | $73,531 | |
Class W | | | 612 | | | | 383 | |
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 February 13, 2020, 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 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.
Other Transactions
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 litigation proceeds in the Statement of Operations.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended April 30, 2020, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $19,671,569 and $25,981,446, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

At April 30, 2020, the Advisor and its affiliates owned 11.2% of the Series.
The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, 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 April 30, 2020.
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 October 31, 2019, were as follows:
Ordinary income | | $3,116,908 | |
Long-term capital gains | | | 7,756,351 | |
At April 30, 2020, the identified cost of investments 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 | | | $45,864,901 | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 12,989,154 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (947,575 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | $12,041,579 | |
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9, 2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements pursuant to which the Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series (the “Current Agreement”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements for the Series (“New Agreement”), that require shareholder approval to take effect.

on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreement are the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreement, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory agreement which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination of the Current Agreement and shareholder approval of the New Agreement. Terms of the interim advisory agreement is the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) was considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Series of the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| ● | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement for over 30 years including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Fund, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| ● | The Board considered the Advisor’s investments teams, including changes to the investment teams and investment team’s compensation during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of each Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed improved performance for many of the Series over the one- and three-year time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges that continue to impact the three- and five-year performance of certain Fund’s strategies resulting from periods of underperformance in 2014 and 2016. After discussion, the Board acknowledged the improved short term performance of many of the Series and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact certain Series, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement. |
| ● | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the multi-year fee restructuring initiative which was completed by the Advisor on March 1, 2019 to increase the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees. The fee |

(unaudited)
restructuring project also resulted in a set of standardized share classes to help support the Fund’s distribution efforts across client types and varying intermediary distribution models.
| ● | The Board considered whether the Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund. The Board acknowledged the expense caps incorporated in the Fund’s current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series operating above their expense cap, noting that 26 Series of the Fund are currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Fund would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| ● | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing each Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| ● | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of each Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for each Series of the Fund and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. The Board acknowledged that the fee restructuring project completed on March 1, 2019 reduced the expense ratios for shareholders in many Series. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| ● | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreement was fair and reasonable with respect to each Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreement would be in the best interests of each Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreement, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.

Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Shareholder Expense Example - Blended Asset Conservative Series
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| BEGINNING | ENDING | EXPENSES PAID |
| ACCOUNT VALUE | ACCOUNT VALUE | DURING PERIOD |
| 11/1/19 | 4/30/20 | 11/1/19-4/30/20* |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,009.90 | $2.25 |
Hypothetical | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.63 | $2.26 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.45%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example - Blended Asset Moderate Series
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 11/1/19 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/30/20 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 11/1/19-4/30/20* |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,029.80 | | $2.52 |
Hypothetical | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,022.38 | | $2.51 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example - Blended Asset Extended Series
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 11/1/19 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/30/20 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 11/1/19-4/30/20* |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,037.10 | | $2.79 |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,022.13 | | $2.77 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.55%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example - Blended Asset Maximum Series
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Series’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Series’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
| | BEGINNING ACCOUNT VALUE 11/1/19 | | ENDING ACCOUNT VALUE 4/30/20 | | EXPENSES PAID DURING PERIOD 11/1/19-4/30/20* |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $994.20 | | $2.73 |
Hypothetical | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,022.13 | | $2.77 |
*Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period) of 0.55%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Series’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. Each Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided directly by an independent pricing service. The 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 defaulted 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.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series 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 Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.
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 their fair value measure. 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 April 30, 2020 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 3 securities held by any of the Blended Asset Series as of October 31, 2019 and April 30, 2020.
Other Market and Credit Risk
Certain debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. In July 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021, suggesting that LIBOR may cease to be published after that time. Regulators and financial industry groups have begun planning for a transition to the use of a different benchmark, but there are

Other Market and Credit Risk(continued)
obstacles and a lack of global consensus, and the process for amending existing contracts or instruments to transition away from LIBOR remains unclear. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on the LIBOR to determine interest rates, a reduction in the values of some LIBOR-based investments, and reduced effectiveness of certain hedging strategies, which may adversely affect a Series’ performance or net asset value. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. In addition, the alternative reference or benchmark rate may be an ineffective substitute resulting in prolonged adverse market conditions for a Portfolio.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-18
Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-18, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” requires that the premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices, be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance was adopted by each series as of November 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on November 1, 2019 has been decreased by $896, $1,081, $1,230 and $249 on Blended Asset Conservative Series, Blended Asset Moderate Series, Blended Asset Extended Series and Blended Asset Maximum Series, respectively. This change had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class of any Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), 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 use 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 do not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Option Contracts
The Series may write (sell) or buy call or put options on securities and other financial instruments. When a 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 a 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

| 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 a Series writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The Series, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security or financial instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. There is a risk that the Series may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
Each 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 a Series for the purchase of an option is reflected as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.
When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or a Series enters into a closing transaction), the Series realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premium received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received).
The measurement of the risks associated with option contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The counterparty for the Series’ written options contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2020 is Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon Company.

Asset-Backed Securities
Each 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Asset-Backed Securities(continued)
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, a Series may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If a 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
Each 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 a 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 by non-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
Each 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 Statements 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
Each 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 Fund 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 their 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 April 30, 2020.
In connection with their 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment(continued)
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. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2020.
Interest Only Securities
The Series may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Series may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.
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 each applicable 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 at the end of each applicable Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
Each Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At April 30, 2020, the Series have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the period ended October 31, 2017 and the years ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019. The Fund 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 they invest, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.

Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made semi-annually. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which each Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.40% for Blended Asset Conservative Term Series, 0.45% for Blended Asset Moderate Series, and 0.50% for Blended Asset Extended Series and Blended Asset Maximum Series, of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, Governance & Nominating Committee Chair and Lead Independent Director who each receive an additional annual stipend for these roles.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and, if necessary, pay other operating expenses of the Series in order to maintain total direct annual fund operating expenses for the Series, at no more than the amounts presented in the following table, of average daily net assets each year.
SERIES/CLASS | | EXPENSE LIMIT |
Blended Asset Conservative Series | | 0.45 | % |
Blended Asset Moderate Series | | 0.50 | % |
Blended Asset Extended Series | | 0.55 | % |
Blended Asset Maximum Series | | 0.55 | % |

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor waived the following amounts which are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statements of Operations:
SERIES/CLASS | | WAIVER AMOUNT |
Blended Asset Conservative Series Class R6 | | $75,787 | |
Blended Asset Moderate Series Class R6 | | 81,747 | |
Blended Asset Extended Series Class R6 | | 79,499 | |
Blended Asset Maximum Series Class R6 | | 71,150 | |
The 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’s agreement to limit the Series’ operating expenses is limited to direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to acquired fund fees and expenses, which are indirect expenses incurred by the Series through their investments in other investment companies. The Advisor may receive from a Series the difference between the Series’ total direct annual fund operating expenses and the Series’ 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 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. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
As of April 30, 2020, the class specific waivers or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:
SERIES/CLASS | | EXPIRING OCTOBER 31, |
| | 2022 | | 2023 |
Blended Asset Conservative Series Class R6 | | $112,080 | | | $75,787 | |

At April 30, 2020, the Target Income Series, another series of the Fund, owned 98.3% of Blended Asset Conservative Series.

Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the respective Series.

The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, none of the Series borrowed 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. At April 30, 2020, Blended Asset Conservative Series, Blended Asset Moderate Series and Blended Asset Extended Series invested in options contracts (equity risk).
The Series may invest in a loan assignment of all or a portion of the loans. A 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. At April 30, 2020, none of the Series held any loan assignments.
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. These differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition on net investment income or gains and losses, including foreign currency gains and losses, losses deferred due to wash sales, investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and real estate investment trusts. 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 October 31, 2019 were as follows:
| | BLENDED ASSET CONSERVATIVE SERIES | | | BLENDED ASSET MODERATE SERIES | | | BLENDED ASSET EXTENDED SERIES | | | BLENDED ASSET MAXIMUM SERIES | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 2,530,275 | | | $ | 2,137,657 | | | $ | 3,918,264 | | | $ | 8,518,827 | |

At October 31, 2019, Blended Asset Conservative Series, Blended Asset Moderate Series, Blended Asset Extended Series and Blended Asset Maximum Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $806,654, $0, $7,906 and $1,656,726 and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $734,995, $887,050, $1,581,128 and $868,737, respectively, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9, 2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements pursuant to which the Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series (the “Current Agreement”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements for the Series (“New Agreement”), that require shareholder approval to take effect. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreement through a proxy statement that was filed on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreement are the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.

| 11. | Subsequent Events (continued) |
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreement, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory agreement which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination of the Current Agreement and shareholder approval of the New Agreement. Terms of the interim advisory agreement is the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) was considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Series of the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| ● | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement for over 30 years including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Fund, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| ● | The Board considered the Advisor’s investments teams, including changes to the investment teams and investment team’s compensation during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of each Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed improved performance for many of the Series over the one- and three-year time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges that continue to impact the three- and five-year performance of certain Fund’s strategies resulting from periods of underperformance in 2014 and 2016. After discussion, the Board acknowledged the improved short term performance of many of the Series and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact certain Series, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement. |
| ● | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the multi-year fee restructuring initiative which was completed by the Advisor on March 1, 2019 to increase the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees. The fee |

(unaudited)
restructuring project also resulted in a set of standardized share classes to help support the Fund’s distribution efforts across client types and varying intermediary distribution models.
| ● | The Board considered whether the Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund. The Board acknowledged the expense caps incorporated in the Fund’s current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series operating above their expense cap, noting that 26 Series of the Fund are currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Fund would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| ● | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing each Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| ● | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of each Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for each Series of the Fund and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. The Board acknowledged that the fee restructuring project completed on March 1, 2019 reduced the expense ratios for shareholders in many Series. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| ● | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreement was fair and reasonable with respect to each Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreement would be in the best interests of each Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreement, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.
Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Beginning on June 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. 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 calling 1-800-466-3863. 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.
Shareholder Expense Example
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Series, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder service fees and other Series expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Series and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the tables below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the Series and Class in which you have invested under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical lines of the tables below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid during the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Class of the Series and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the Series and Class in which you have invested with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees that you may incur in other mutual funds. Therefore, the Hypothetical lines of the tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

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 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Expenses are based on the most recent fiscal half year. The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.
2Expense ratios of the Class do not include fees and expenses indirectly incurred by the underlying funds. If these expenses were included, the expense ratios would have been higher.
3Assumes 5% annual return before expenses.

Target Income Series, Target 2015 Series, Target 2020 Series, Target 2025 Series, Target 2030 Series, Target 2035 Series, Target 2040 Series, Target 2045 Series, Target 2050 Series, Target 2055 Series and Target 2060 Series (each the “Series”) are no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
Each Series seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a combination of other Manning & Napier mutual funds (the “Underlying Series”) according to a target asset allocation strategy. The Series are designed to provide single investment portfolios that adjust over time to meet the changing risk and return objectives of investors over their expected investment horizon. As the target retirement date approaches, the Series’ portfolios become more conservative with a larger fixed-income investment component. The financial statements of the Underlying Series should be read in conjunction with the Series’ financial statements.
Each Series is authorized to issue three classes of shares (Class K, R, and I). 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. Class R6 shares of the Target Series were liquidated by March 1, 2019.
The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of each Series are offered to investors and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2020, 8.9 billion shares have been designated in total among 31 series, of which 40 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class K and R common stock and 100 million have been designated in each of the Series for Class I common stock.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. Each Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Investments in the Underlying Series are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date. In the absence of the availability of a net asset value per share on the Underlying Series, security valuations may be determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measure fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.

Security Valuation(continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Series’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level on any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the valuation levels used for major security types as of April 30, 2020 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

There were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by any of the Series as of October 31, 2019 or April 30, 2020.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Income and capital gains distributions from the Underlying Series, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Expenses included in the accompanying statements of operations do not include any expense of the Underlying Series.
Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), 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 use the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Federal Taxes
Each Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At April 30, 2020, the Series have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019. The Fund 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 semi-annually. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 3. | Transactions with Affiliates and Other Agreements |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Advisor does not receive a fee for the services it performs for the Series. However, the Advisor is entitled to receive the management fee from each of the Underlying Series in which the Series invest.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses

incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, 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 for non-distribution related sub-transfer agency, administrative, sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class K, Class R and Class I shares. 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 Rule 12b-1 plan of the Fund.
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 of each Class, exclusive of Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees, do not exceed 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class I, Class K, and Class R shares. The contractual limitation is 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’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 their 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 Rule 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. The Advisor’s agreement to limit each class’ operating expenses is limited to direct operating expenses and, therefore, does not apply to the indirect expenses incurred by the Series through their investments in the Underlying Series. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor reimbursed expenses of $41,200 for Target Income Series, $66,711 for Target 2015 Series, $57,281 for Target 2020 Series, $57,034 for Target 2025 Series, $67,154 for Target 2030 Series, $72,826 Target 2035 Series, $81,191 for Target 2040 Series, $85,254 for Target 2045 Series, $89,428 for Target 2050 Series, $91,479 for Target 2055 series and $108,301 for Target 2060 Series, which is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
As of April 30, 2020, the class specific waivers or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. Each Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class K and Class R shares pursuant to a distribution plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, regardless of expenses actually incurred. Under the agreement, each Series pays distribution and service fees to the distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares and 0.50% of average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. There are no distribution and service fees on Class I shares of each Series. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated February 13, 2020, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee related to fund accounting and administration of 0.00225% of average daily net assets of the Target Series with an annual base fee of $40,000 per Target series. 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.

1Less than 1 share.
The following table represents instances at April 30, 2020, where a shareholder account owned greater than 10% of a Series:
| | | NUMBER OF | | PERCENTAGE |
| SERIES | | ACCOUNTS | | OF THE |
| | | OVER 10% | | SERIES |
| Target 2015 Series | | | 3 | | | | 67.6 | % |
| Target 2050 Series | | | 1 | | | | 15.0 | % |
At April 30, 2020, the Advisor and its affiliates owned 1.6% of the Target 2060 Series and less than 0.1% of Target 2015 Series, Target 2025 Series, Target 2035 Series, Target 2045 Series and Target 2055 Series. Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Series.
The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, none of the Series borrowed 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 fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. No such investments were directly held by the Series as of April 30, 2020.
| 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.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9, 2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements pursuant to which the Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series (the “Current Agreement”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements for the Series (“New Agreement“), that require shareholder approval to take effect. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreement through a proxy statement that was filed on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreement are the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreement, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory agreement which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination of the Current Agreement and shareholder approval of the New Agreement. Terms of the interim advisory agreement is the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) was considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Series of the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| ● | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement for over 30 years including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Fund, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| ● | The Board considered the Advisor’s investments teams, including changes to the investment teams and investment team’s compensation during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of each Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed improved performance for many of the Series over the one- and three-year time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges that continue to impact the three- and five-year performance of certain Fund’s strategies resulting from periods of underperformance in 2014 and 2016. After discussion, the Board acknowledged the improved short term performance of many of the Series and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact certain Series, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement. |
| ● | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the multi-year fee restructuring initiative which was completed by the Advisor on March 1, 2019 to increase the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees. The fee |

| | restructuring project also resulted in a set of standardized share classes to help support the Fund’s distribution efforts across client types and varying intermediary distribution models. |
| ● | The Board considered whether the Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund. The Board acknowledged the expense caps incorporated in the Fund’s current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series operating above their expense cap, noting that 26 Series of the Fund are currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Fund would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| ● | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing each Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| ● | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of each Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for each Series of the Fund and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. The Board acknowledged that the fee restructuring project completed on March 1, 2019 reduced the expense ratios for shareholders in many Series. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| ● | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreement was fair and reasonable with respect to each Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreement would be in the best interests of each Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreement, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.
Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. Disciplined Value Series Beginning on June 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.

Disciplined Value 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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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.

1Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Disciplined Value Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Disciplined Value Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to provide competitive returns consistent with the broad equity market while providing a level of capital protection during market downturns.
The Series is authorized to issue four classes of shares (Class S, I, W, 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, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2020, 8.9 billion shares have been designated in total among 31 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Disciplined Value Series Class I common stock, Disciplined Value Series Class S common stock, Disciplined Value Series Class W common stock, and Disciplined Value 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 in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account.

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 April 30, 2020 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 October 31, 2019 or April 30, 2020.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), 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.
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 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 April 30, 2020, 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 October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made quarterly. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.30% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, 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 for non-distribution related sub-transfer agency, administrative, sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class S and Class I shares. 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 Rule 12b-1 plan of the Fund.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. 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 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares, 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares, and 0.15% 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 $178,438 in management fees for Class W shares for the six months ended April 30, 2020. This amount is included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
As of April 30, 2020, the class specific waivers or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:
CLASS | EXPIRING OCTOBER 31, 2022 |
Class W | $5,197 |
Class Z | 2,152 |
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. 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, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated February 13, 2020, 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 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.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended April 30, 2020, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $127,585,690 and $75,555,487, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

| 1Effective after the close of trading on December 5, 2019, the total outstanding shares of Class I and Z of the Disciplined Value Series split on a 1.75-for-1 basis as of record date December 4, 2019. The impact of the stock split increased the number of shares outstanding by a factor of 1.75, while decreasing the NAV per share and market price per share by a factor of 1.75, resulting in no effect on fund net assets or on the total value of a shareholder’s investment. |
At April 30, 2020,the Advisor and its affiliates owned 0.1% of the Series.
The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, 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 April 30, 2020.
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 October 31, 2019 were as follows:

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
(continued)
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9, 2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements pursuant to which the Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series (the “Current Agreement”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements for the Series (“New Agreement“), that require shareholder approval to take effect. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreement through a proxy statement that was filed on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreement are the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreement, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory agreement which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination of the Current Agreement and shareholder approval of the New Agreement. Terms of the interim advisory agreement is the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) was considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Series of the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| • | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement for over 30 years including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Fund, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| • | The Board considered the Advisor’s investments teams, including changes to the investment teams and investment team’s compensation during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of each Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed improved performance for many of the Series over the one- and three-year time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges that continue to impact the three- and five-year performance of certain Fund’s strategies resulting from periods of underperformance in 2014 and 2016. After discussion, the Board acknowledged the improved short term performance of many of the Series and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact certain Series, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement. |
| • | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the multi-year fee restructuring initiative which was completed by the Advisor on March 1, 2019 to increase the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees. The fee |

(unaudited)
restructuring project also resulted in a set of standardized share classes to help support the Fund’s distribution efforts across client types and varying intermediary distribution models.
| • | The Board considered whether the Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund. The Board acknowledged the expense caps incorporated in the Fund’s current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series operating above their expense cap, noting that 26 Series of the Fund are currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Fund would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| • | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing each Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| • | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of each Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for each Series of the Fund and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. The Board acknowledged that the fee restructuring project completed on March 1, 2019 reduced the expense ratios for shareholders in many Series. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| • | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreement was fair and reasonable with respect to each Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreement would be in the best interests of each Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreement, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.

Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Overseas 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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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.

Hypothetical | | | | | | | | |
(5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.63 | | | $3.27 | | 0.65% |
1Expenses are equal to the Series’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

The Fund’s Advisor is Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). Shares of the Series are offered to investors, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2020, 8.9 billion shares have been designated in total among 31 series, of which 200 million have been designated as Overseas Series Class I common stock, 400 million have been designated as Overseas Series Class S common stock, 75 million have been designated as Overseas Series Class W common stock and 100 million have been designated as Overseas 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 in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities

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 April 30, 2020 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

#Includes certain equity foreign 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 October 31, 2019 or April 30, 2020.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
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 April 30, 2020, 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 October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. | Transactions with Affiliates and Other Agreements |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which the Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, 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 for non-distribution related sub-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 Rule 12b-1 plan of the Fund.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. 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 distribution and service (12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class I shares, 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Class S shares, 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares, and 0.05% 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 $724,260 in management fees for Class W shares for the six months ended April 30, 2020. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed expenses of $50,026, $15,480, $72,314, and $14,249 and for Class S, Class I, Class W, and Class Z shares, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2020. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Advisor did not recoup any expenses that have been previously waived or reimbursed.
As of April 30, 2020, the class specific waivers or reimbursements subject to possible future recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are as follows:
CLASS | | EXPIRING OCTOBER 31, | |
| | 2022 | | | 2023 | |
Class I | | $29,951 | | | $15,480 | |
Class S | | 115,448 | | | 50,026 | |
Class W | | 45,443 | | | 72,314 | |
Class Z | | 25,315 | | | 14,249 | |

3. | Transactions with Affiliates and Other Agreements (continued) |
Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. 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, Class W or Class Z shares. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated February 13, 2020, 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 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.
4. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
For the six months ended April 30, 2020, purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. Government securities and short-term securities, were $268,469,797 and $213,057,376, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

At April 30, 2020, the Advisor and its affiliates owned 0.7% of the Series.
The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, 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 April 30, 2020.
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 October 31, 2019 were as follows:
Ordinary income $6,127,852

At October 31, 2019, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $53,306,525 and net long-term capital loss carryforwards of $439,507,914, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
10. Market Event
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.
11. Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9, 2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements pursuant to which the Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Series (the “Current Agreement”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements for the Series (“New Agreement”), that require shareholder approval to take effect. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreement through a proxy statement that was filed on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreement are the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreement, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory agreement which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination

of the Current Agreement and shareholder approval of the New Agreement. Terms of the interim advisory agreement is the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) was considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board
to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Series of the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| ● | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement for over 30 years including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Fund, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| ● | The Board considered the Advisor’s investments teams, including changes to the investment teams and investment team’s compensation during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of each Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed improved performance for many of the Series over the one- and three-year time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges that continue to impact the three- and five-year performance of certain Fund’s strategies resulting from periods of underperformance in 2014 and 2016. After discussion, the Board acknowledged the improved short term performance of many of the Series and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact certain Series, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement. |
| ● | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the multi-year fee restructuring initiative which was completed by the Advisor on March 1, 2019 to increase the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees. The fee |

| | restructuring project also resulted in a set of standardized share classes to help support the Fund’s distribution efforts across client types and varying intermediary distribution models. |
| ● | The Board considered whether the Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund. The Board acknowledged the expense caps incorporated in the Fund’s current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series operating above their expense cap, noting that 26 Series of the Fund are currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Fund would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| ● | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing each Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| ● | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of each Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for each Series of the Fund and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. The Board acknowledged that the fee restructuring project completed on March 1, 2019 reduced the expense ratios for shareholders in many Series. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| ● | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreement was fair and reasonable with respect to each Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreement would be in the best interests of each Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreement, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.

Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend®Conservative Term Series
(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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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 - Pro-Blend®Conservative Term Series
(unaudited)
1Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend®Moderate Term Series
(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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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 - Pro-Blend®Extended Term Series
(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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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 - Pro-Blend®Extended Term Series
(unaudited)
1Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

Shareholder Expense Example - Pro-Blend®Maximum Term Series
(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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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 - Pro-Blend®Maximum Term Series
(unaudited)
1Expenses are equal to the Class’ annualized expense ratio (for the six-month period), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived or reimbursed during the period.

| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. Each Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Debt securities, including government bonds, foreign bonds, asset-backed securities, structured notes, supranational obligations, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities will normally be valued on the basis of evaluated bid prices provided directly by an independent pricing service. The 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 defaulted 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

Security Valuation(continued)
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.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series 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 Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of securities used for net asset value calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities. It is the Fund’s policy to classify each foreign equity security where a factor from a third party vendor is provided as a Level 2 security.
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 their fair value measure. 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 April 30, 2020 in valuing the Series’ assets or liabilities carried at fair value:

Other Market and Credit Risk
Certain debt securities, derivatives and other financial instruments utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. In July 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021, suggesting that LIBOR may cease to be published after that time. Regulators and financial industry groups have begun planning for a transition to the use of a different benchmark, but there are obstacles and a lack of global consensus, and the process for amending existing contracts or instruments to transition away from LIBOR remains unclear. The transition process might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on the LIBOR to determine interest rates, a reduction in the values of some LIBOR-based investments, and reduced effectiveness of certain hedging strategies, which may adversely affect a Series’ performance or net asset value. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. In addition, the alternative reference or benchmark rate may be an ineffective substitute resulting in prolonged adverse market conditions for a Portfolio.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-18
Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-18, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): “Premium Amortization of Purchased Callable Debt Securities” requires that the premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices, be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance was adopted by each series as of November 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The cost basis of the securities on November 1, 2019 has been decreased by $11,311, $4,241, $4,449 and $601 on Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, respectively. This change had no impact on total distributable earnings (loss) or the net asset value for any Class of any Series.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense.
Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), 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 use 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 do not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.

Option Contracts
The Series may write (sell) or buy call or put options on securities and other financial instruments. When a 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 a Series writes a put option, the Series gives the purchaser the right to sell to the Series the underlying security at the exercise price at any time during the option period. The Series will only write options on a “covered basis.” This means that the Series will own the underlying security when the Series writes a call or the Series will put aside cash, U.S. Government securities, or other liquid assets in an amount not less than the exercise price at all times the put option is outstanding.
When a Series writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The Series, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying security or financial instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. There is a risk that the Series may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
Each 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 a Series for the purchase of an option is reflected as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.
When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or a Series enters into a closing transaction), the Series realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premium received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium paid or received).
The measurement of the risks associated with option contracts is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered. The counterparty for the Series’ written options contracts outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2020 is Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon Company.

Asset-Backed Securities
Each 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
(unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Asset-Backed Securities (continued)
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, a Series may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If a 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
Each 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 a 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 by non-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
Each 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 Statements 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
Each 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 take such fluctuations into account when determining their net asset value. The Series may sell the when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss.
In connection with their 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis or Forward Commitment (continued)
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. No such investments were held by the Series on April 30, 2020.
Interest Only Securities
The Series may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Series may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs.
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 each applicable 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 at the end of each applicable Series’ Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
Each Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series are not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that each Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At April 30, 2020, the Series have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.
The Series file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions, as required. No income tax returns are currently under investigation. The statute of limitations on the Series’ tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019. The Fund 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 they invest, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are made semi-annually. Distributions of net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of a Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. | Transactions with Affiliates |
The Fund has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, for which each Series pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.40% for Pro-Blend® Conservative Term Series and 0.60% for Pro- Blend® Moderate Term Series, Pro-Blend® Extended Term Series and Pro-Blend® Maximum Term Series, of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor. Each ”non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, 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 for non-distribution related sub-transfer agency, administrative, sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class S, Class I, Class R and Class L shares. 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 Rule 12b-1 plan of the Fund.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. 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”), at no more than the amounts presented in the following table, of average daily net assets each year.

The 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’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, which are indirect expenses incurred by the Series through its investments in other investment companies. 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 the following management fees for Class W shares for the six months ended April 30, 2020. In addition, pursuant to the separate expense limitation agreement, the Advisor waived or reimbursed the following expenses for Class S, Class I, Class R, Class L and Class W shares for the six months ended April 30, 2020. These amounts are included as a reduction of expenses on the Statement of Operations:

Manning & Napier Investor Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor, acts as distributor for the Fund’s shares. Each Series compensates the distributor for distributing and servicing the Series’ Class L (formerly Class R2), Class R and 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, each 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, 1.00% of average daily net assets attributable to Class L shares (formerly Class R2) and an annual rate of 0.50% of daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. There are no distribution and service fees on the Class I, Class W, and Class Z shares of each Series. The fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
Pursuant to a master services agreement dated February 13, 2020, 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 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.

At April 30, 2020, the Advisor and its affiliates owned less than 0.1% of each Series. Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the respective Series.
The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2019, none of the Series borrowed 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. At April 30, 2020, Pro-Blend®Conservative Term Series, Pro-Blend®Moderate Term Series and Pro-Blend®Extended Term Series invested in options contracts (equity risk).
The Series may invest in a loan assignment of all or a portion of the loans. A 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. At April 30, 2020, none of the Series held any loan assignments.
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. 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 October 31, 2019 were as follows:

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9, 2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements pursuant to which the Advisor provides investment

advisory services to the Series (the “Current Agreement”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements for the Series (“New Agreement“), that require shareholder approval to take effect. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreement through a proxy statement that was filed on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreement are the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreement, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory agreement which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination of the Current Agreement and shareholder approval of the New Agreement. Terms of the interim advisory agreement is the same as the Current Agreement, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor.
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) was considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreement, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Fund throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Series of the Fund, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| ● | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement for over 30 years including, among others: deciding what securities to purchase and sell for each Series; arranging for the purchase and sale of such securities by placing orders with broker-dealers; administering the affairs of the Fund (including the books and records of the Fund not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Fund; and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements) and reports to shareholders for the Fund. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Fund, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Fund required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| ● | The Board considered the Advisor’s investments teams, including changes to the investment teams and investment team’s compensation during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of each Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year, ten year, and current market cycle. A market cycle includes periods of both rising and falling markets. Returns for established benchmark indices for each Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed improved performance for many of the Series over the one- and three-year time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges that continue to impact the three- and five-year performance of certain Fund’s strategies resulting from periods of underperformance in 2014 and 2016. After discussion, the Board acknowledged the improved short term performance of many of the Series and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact certain Series, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement. |
| ● | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the various Series of the Fund. The Advisor presented the advisory fees and total expenses for each Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the multi-year fee restructuring initiative which was completed by the Advisor on March 1, 2019 to increase the competitiveness of the Fund’s fees. The fee |

| | restructuring project also resulted in a set of standardized share classes to help support the Fund’s distribution efforts across client types and varying intermediary distribution models. |
| ● | The Board considered whether the Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Fund. The Board acknowledged the expense caps incorporated in the Fund’s current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series operating above their expense cap, noting that 26 Series of the Fund are currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Fund would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| ● | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing each Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| ● | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of each Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for each Series of the Fund and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. The Board acknowledged that the fee restructuring project completed on March 1, 2019 reduced the expense ratios for shareholders in many Series. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of each Series of the Fund were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| ● | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor derives from its relationship with the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreement was fair and reasonable with respect to each Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreement would be in the best interests of each Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreement, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.
Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.

Rainier International Discovery 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 (November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020).
Actual Expenses
The Actual lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the Actual line for the 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.

The Class’ total return would have been lower had certain expenses not been waived during the period.

Rainier International Discovery Series
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Rainier International Discovery Series (the “Series”) is a no-load diversified series of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”). The Fund is organized in Maryland and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The Series’ investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The Series is authorized to issue four classes of shares (Class S, I, W and Z). Each class 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, clients and employees of the Advisor and its affiliates. The total authorized capital stock of the Fund consists of 15 billion shares of common stock each having a par value of $0.01. As of April 30, 2020, 8.9 billion shares have been designated in total among 31 series, of which 100 million have been designated as Rainier International Discovery Series Class I common stock, Rainier International Discovery Series Class S (formerly Class K) common stock, Rainier International Discovery Series Class W common stock and Rainier International Discovery Series Class Z (formerly Class R6) common stock.
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series. The Series is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 - Investment Companies, which is part of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation
Portfolio securities, including domestic equities, foreign equities, warrants and options, listed on an exchange other than the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued at the latest quoted sales price of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on valuation date or securities not listed on an exchange are valued at the latest quoted bid price provided by the Fund’s pricing service. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.
Short-term investments that mature in sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value per share on valuation date.
Volume and level of activity in established markets for an asset or liability are evaluated to determine whether recent transactions and quoted prices are determinative of fair value. Where there have been significant decreases in volume and level of activity, further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. The Series measures fair value in these instances by the use of inputs and valuation techniques which may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry and/or expectation of future cash flows. As a result of trading in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience significant volatility, the prices used by the Series to value these securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material.
Securities for which representative valuations or prices are not available from the Series’ pricing service may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such securities, the fair value may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. If trading or events occurring after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they may be valued at their fair value, taking this trading or these events into account. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the values of certain securities trading outside the U.S. were adjusted following the close of local trading using a factor from a third party vendor. The third party vendor uses statistical analyses and quantitative models, which consider among other things subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, to determine the factors which are used to adjust local market prices. The value of

Security Valuation(continued)
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 applied 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 April 30, 2020 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 October 31, 2019 or April 30, 2020.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that if the ex-dividend date has passed, certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Series is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method, is earned from settlement date and accrued daily.
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Most expenses of the Fund can be attributed to a specific series. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the series in the Fund in such a manner as deemed equitable by the Fund’s Board, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense. Income, expenses (other than shareholder services fees), and realized and unrealized gains and losses are prorated among the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Class specific expenses are directly charged to that class.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses(continued)
The Series uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The books and records of the Series are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The Series does not isolate realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to changes in the exchange rates from gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair value of investments. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses represent foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses on disposition of foreign currencies and the difference between the amount of income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the books of the Series and the amounts actually received or paid.
Restricted Securities
Restricted securities are purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may have contractual restrictions on resale. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Investment Portfolio.
Federal Taxes
The Series’ policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Series is not subject to federal income tax or excise tax to the extent that the Series distributes to shareholders each year its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, in accordance with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax or excise tax has been made in the financial statements.
Management evaluates its tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. At April 30, 2020, 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 two years ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the period ended October 31, 2017 and the years ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019. The Series is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Foreign Taxes
Based on the Series’ understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and currency purchase/repatriation transactions for foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Series will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign tax. The Series is subject to a tax imposed on short term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in India. The Series records an estimated deferred tax liability for securities that have been held for less than a year at the end of the reporting period, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period. This amount is reported in Accrued foreign capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized losses on the sale of securities of issuers domiciled in India can be carried forward for eight years to offset potential future short term realized capital gains.
Distributions of Income and Gains
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized gains are made annually. An additional distribution may be necessary to avoid taxation of the Series. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnifications
The Fund’s organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 3. | Transactions with Affiliates and Other Agreements |
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 0.90% of the Series’ average daily net assets. The investment sub-advisor of the Series is Rainier Investment Management, LLC (“Rainier” or the “Sub-Advisor”). The Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor out of the fee received from the Series at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Series’ average daily net assets.
Under the Agreement, personnel of the Advisor provide the Series with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Series’ organization. The Advisor also provides the Fund with necessary office space and fund administration and support services. The salaries of all officers of the Fund (except a percentage of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, which is paid by the Fund), and of all Directors who are “affiliated persons” of the Fund, or of the Advisor, and all personnel of the Fund, or of the Advisor, performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities, are paid by the Advisor and/or Sub-Advisor. Each “non-affiliated” Director receives an annual stipend, which is allocated among all the active series of the Fund. In addition, these Directors also receive a fee per Board meeting attended plus a fee for each committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with attending such meetings. The Fund also has an Audit Committee Chair, 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 for non-distribution related sub-transfer agency, administrative, sub-accounting, and other shareholder services in an amount not to exceed 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class S shares and Class I shares. 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 Rule 12b-1 plan of the Fund.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive the management fee for the Class W shares. 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 distribution and service (12b-1) fees and waived Class W management fees (collectively, “excluded expenses”), to 1.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I and Class S shares, 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class Z shares, and 0.10% 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.

At April 30, 2020, one shareholder account owned 21.3% of the Series. In addition, the Advisor and its affiliates owned less than 0.1% of the Series. Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Series.
The Fund has entered into a 364-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 2020 unless extended or renewed. During the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Series did not borrow under the line of credit.
The Series may trade in instruments including 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 April 30, 2020.

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 October 31, 2019 were as follows:
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,565,216 | |
At April 30, 2020, the identified cost of investments 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 | | $ | 367,715,744 | |
Unrealized appreciation | | | 70,187,603 | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (19,779,048 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 50,408,555 | |
At October 31, 2019, the Series had net short-term capital loss carryforwards of $33,708,740, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (a novel coronavirus) to be a pandemic. The situation is dynamic. Global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers have been and may continue to be adversely affected by COVID-19, particularly in light of the interconnectivity between economies and financial markets, all of which may negatively impact the Funds performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds service providers and disrupt the Funds operations. Management of the Fund will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19.
In preparing these financial statements, management of the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through June 17, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued, and the following item was noted:
In March of this year, William Manning, who is the co-founder of Manning & Napier, Inc. (“MN Inc.”), which is the ultimate parent company of the Advisor, delivered to the company an exchange notice under the terms of the exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) that was entered into at the time that MN Inc. became a public company in 2011. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Manning was able to tender the entirety of his private interests in Manning & Napier Group, LLC (“MN Group”), the managing member of the Advisor, exchangeable for cash or shares of MN Inc. Class A common stock. On April 9,

11. | Subsequent Events (continued) |
2020, MN Inc. delivered to Mr. Manning a letter indicating that, as permitted under the Exchange Agreement, it would satisfy Mr. Manning’s exchange request by purchasing all of Mr. Manning’s private interests in MN Group (the “Transaction”). The Transaction, which settled on May 11, 2020, divested Mr. Manning’s entirely of his ownership interest in MN Group. Mr. Manning also served as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of MN Inc. through June 10, 2020 and did not stand for reelection.
The Transaction may be deemed to result in a change of control of the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor, under the 1940 Act, which results in the assignment and automatic termination of the investment advisory agreements and the investment sub-advisory agreement pursuant to which the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor provides investment advisory services and sub-advisory services, respectively to the Series (the “Current Agreements”). At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 22, 2020, the Board approved new investment advisory agreements and a new investment sub-advisory agreement for the Series (each a “New Agreement,” and, together, the “New Agreements”), that require shareholder approval to take effect. Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreement through a proxy statement that was filed on May 15, 2020, which will enable the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor to continue to serve the Series. Terms of the New Agreements are the same as the Current Agreements, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor and Sub-Advisor.
In relation to the termination of the Current Agreements, at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Advisor on April 17, 2020, the Board approved an interim advisory and sub-advisory agreements which became effective on May 11, 2020 with the closing of the Transaction, allowing the Advisor and Sub-Advisor to continue to provide investment advisory and sub-advisory services for each Series for up to 150 days between termination of the Current Agreements and shareholder approval of the New Agreements. Terms of the interim advisory and sub-advisory agreements is the same as the Current Agreements, therefore there are no changes in fees paid to the Advisor and Sub-Advisor.
Rainier International Discovery Series
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
At the Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting, held on November 21, 2019, the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Fund and Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and Rainier Investment Management LLC (the ”Sub-Advisor”)(collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”) on behalf of the Rainier International Discovery Series (the “Series”) were considered for renewal by the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (“Independent Directors”), within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In connection with the decision whether to renew the Agreements, a variety of material was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting for their review and consideration. The Board also held a working session on October 25, 2019 to review and discuss information provided to the Board, and for the Board to request additional information.
Representatives of the Advisor attended a portion of the working session and attended the Board meeting. The Advisor provided supplemental information requested by the Board and presented additional oral information to the Board to assist the Board in its considerations. In addition to the information furnished by the Advisor, the Board was provided with a legal memorandum discussing its fiduciary duties related to its approval of the continuation of the Agreement. Legal counsel for the Fund discussed with the Board the applicable legal considerations. In addition, the Board received in-person presentations about the Series throughout the year.
The Independent Directors were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to these matters. The Independent Directors also met separately in an executive session with their legal counsel without any representatives of the Advisor present.
The Directors’ determinations at the meeting were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all the information presented. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreements with respect to the Series, the Independent Directors did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. Each Independent Director may also have weighed factors differently. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors.
| ● | The Board considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreements since the Series’ adoption in August 2017, including, among others: administering the affairs of the Series (including the books and records of the Series not maintained by third party service providers such as the custodian or transfer agent); arranging for the insurance coverage for the Series; providing information and other reports to the Directors and responding to their questions and requests, and supervising the preparation of tax returns, SEC filings (including registration statements), reports to shareholders for the Series and oversight of the Sub-Advisor. The Board also considered the nature and quality of such services provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement in light of the Advisor’s services provided to the other series of the Fund for approximately 30 years under an existing investment advisory agreement. The Board considered the numerous services performed by the Advisor and its affiliates beyond those stated in the Agreements. The Board also considered the Advisor’s personnel who perform services to the Series, changes in senior or key personnel, industry trends impacting the mutual fund industry, the strength of the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure, policies and procedures relating to compliance with securities regulations, reputation, expertise and resources. The Board discussed the quality of these services with representatives from the Advisor and concluded that the Advisor was performing its services to the Series required under the Agreement in a reasonable manner. |
| ● | The Board also considered the nature and quality of services provided by the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including among others: investment research and portfolio management, portfolio and prospectus compliance, trading and account management, broker selection for best execution, exercising proxy voting rights, security valuation advice and support, sub-advisor compliance and maintaining books and records related to the Series. |
| ● | The Board considered the Sub-Advisor’s investment team, including changes to the investment team during the past year, and the investment process. The Board considered the performance of the Series since its inception, as well as over multiple time periods including: one year, three year, five year and since inception Returns for the established benchmark for the Series were provided. In addition, the Board considered (and considers on a quarterly basis) a number of other factors relevant to performance at the meeting including: a peer group performance analysis consisting of Morningstar universes of mutual funds with similar investment objectives; the breadth of the Fund’s product offerings; and performance over reasonable time periods. Representatives of the Advisor discussed the Series’ outperformance relative to the benchmark over the three-year, five-year and since inception time periods ending September 30, 2019. The Board discussed with Representatives of the Advisor, performance challenges in the fourth quarter of 2018 that continue to impact the Series’ performance relative to the benchmark for the one-year time period ending September 30, 2019. After discussion, the Board |

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
(unaudited)
acknowledged the Series’ outperformance relative to the benchmark over the three-year, five-year and since inception time periods, and concluded that notwithstanding the performance challenges that continue to impact the Series’ performance for the one-year time period, the nature and quality of the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund supported the renewal of the agreement.
| ● | The Board considered the fees and expenses of the Series. The Advisor presented the advisory fee and total expenses for the Series, including the advisory fee adjusted for any contractual expense waivers or reimbursements paid by the Advisor. The Advisor also presented sub-advisory compensation paid to the Sub-Advisor, including the allocation of the management fee between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor. After discussion, the Directors concluded that both the advisory fee paid to the Advisor and the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Advisor were reasonable in relation to the services provided by each to the Series, and that the allocation of the management fee between the Advisor and Sub-Advisor was reasonable when considering the nature and costs of the services provided by each entity. |
| ● | The Board considered whether the Advisor and Sub-Advisor had achieved economies of scale with respect to its services to the Series. The Board acknowledged the expense cap incorporated in the Series’ current fee structure, which requires the Advisor to subsidize the expenses of the Series if it is operating above its expense cap, noting that the Series is currently receiving expense reimbursements from the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Series would need to grow in assets before the Advisor would be able to achieve meaningful economies of scale. |
| ● | The Advisor provided the Board with information comparing the Series’ contractual management fees with the Advisor and Sub-Advisor’s standard advisory fees for separate accounts and collective investment trusts. The Board considered that the range of services provided to the Series is more extensive than for the Advisor’s other clients due to additional infrastructure, administrative and regulatory requirements related to operating a mutual fund. |
| ● | The current advisory fees, 12b-1 Distribution and Service Fees, other expenses (e.g. a combination of Shareholder Services Fees, intermediary sub-TA fees, routine operating expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses for fund-of-fund Series) and total expense ratios of the Series and share class were compared and ranked (on both a mean and median basis) against respective peer universes. Respective peer universes included funds of a similar size and with similar investment objectives and expense characteristics as disclosed on the Morningstar database. Representatives of the Advisor discussed with the Board the comparisons and rankings of fees and net expense ratios for the Series and the methodology behind the comparison. The Board considered the Advisor’s active portfolio management that results in portfolios that are more differentiated than the construction of their benchmarks. Based on their review of the information provided, the Board concluded that the current fees and expenses of the Series were reasonable on a comparative basis. |
| ● | The Board considered the costs of the Advisor’s services and the profits of the Advisor as they relate to the Advisor’s services to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board was provided with information on the Advisor’s financial condition and profitability by mutual fund agreement and by Series. Representatives of the Advisor discussed a decline in the Advisor’s profitability derived from the Fund and the expected impact that planned technology and operating platform upgrades would have on future profitability. The Board discussed the Advisor’s revenues generated from the Fund and its expenses associated with providing the services under the Agreement. The Advisor presented the Board with information on firm wide investment management profitability to provide a comparison of the Advisor’s profitability from its Fund activities relative to its profitability from its other investment management business. In addition, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s expense allocation methodology used to calculate profitability since many of the Advisor’s resources and expenses are shared across the Advisor’s various investment management vehicles. The Board considered the Advisor’s expenses associated with Fund activities outside of the Agreement (such as expense reimbursements pursuant to expense caps and payments made by the Advisor to third party platforms on which shares of the Fund are available for purchase). The Board acknowledged the strength of the Advisor’s balance sheet which provides the Advisor with the financial flexibility to support its investment team. After discussing the above costs and profits, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s profitability relating to its services provided under the Agreement was reasonable. |
| ● | The Board considered the costs of the Sub-Advisor’s services and the profits of the Sub-Advisor as they relate to the services provided to the Series under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. After discussing the above costs and profits, the Board concluded that the Sub-Advisor’s profitability relating to its services provided under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable. |

| ● | The Board also considered the other benefits the Advisor and Sub-Advisor derives from its relationship with the Series and the Fund. Such other benefits include participation in a joint insurance program, sharing of compensation expenses for certain shared personnel, relationships with large service providers, the utilization of Series within the Advisor’s separately managed accounts and certain research services provided by soft dollars. The Board reviewed the broker-dealers who provided research to the Advisor and Sub-Advisor and the products and services paid for, in whole or in part, using soft dollar commissions. The Board concluded that these additional benefits to the Advisor and Sub-Advisor were reasonable. |
Based on the Board’s deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the compensation under the Agreements was fair and reasonable with respect to the Series in light of the services and expenses and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment, and that the renewal of the Agreements would be in the best interests of the Series and its shareholders. The Board did not indicate that any single factor was determinative of its decision to approve the Agreements, but indicated that the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it.

Liquidity Risk Management Program Disclosure
(unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management across open-end investment companies and reduce the risk that open-end investment companies are unable to meet redemption obligations without a significant dilution of remaining shareholder interests.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”), including a majority of Directors who are not interested persons, of Manning & Napier Fund, Inc. and each of its series (each “a Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) met on February 13, 2020 (the “Meeting”) to review the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of the Funds, in accordance with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Board appointed the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), in conjunction with the Fund’s investment advisor, Manning & Napier Advisors, LLC (“MNA”), to administer the Program and review it no less than annually.
At the Meeting, the Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including an evaluation of any material changes to the Program (the “Report”). The Report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
The Report described the Committee’s review of and conclusions around each factor that the Fund must consider to assess, manage and review its Liquidity Risk. Additionally, the Report discussed the Committee’s management of the Program, including an evaluation of the Program’s methodology for classifying each portfolio investment into one of four liquidity buckets. As part of this evaluation the Committee re-affirmed that each Fund operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund, with greater than 50% of net assets consistently invested in Highly Liquid Investments, thereby negating a need to establish a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum for any Fund. Lastly, the Report highlighted the effectiveness of the safeguards that the Committee adopted to prevent a violation of the Liquidity Rule’s 15% limit on a Fund’s acquisition of Illiquid Investments.
There were no material changes to the Program during the Review Period. The Report provided to the Board stated that the Committee concluded that based on the operation of the functions, as described in the Report, the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.
