Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder:
As you are undoubtedly aware, the financial markets were under significant pressure during a majority of the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 (the “period”). The period began with the major U.S. equity markets seeing their worst returns in 5 1/2 years during the first quarter, largely driven by investor concerns over the economic impact of a decline in U.S. home values and the related devaluation of the mortgage-securities market. After the Federal Reserve’s mid-March establishment of the credit facility to extend overnight funds to primary dealers and the bail out of Bear Stearns & Co., the second quarter started with many investors believing that the worst of the credit crunch was over, that economic growth would begin to bounce back later in the year, and that stock prices, in anticipation of future growth, would advance. That’s actually how it played out – until mid-to-late May, that is. Stocks, unfortunately, then sold off during the remainder of the quarter as investors’ concerns over surging energy and food prices, continued fallout from the credit crisis, slow economic growth, and declining corporate profits took center stage. Time will tell if the concerns are completely justified. In the short-term, however, the pain in the financial markets has been all too real.
The resulting impact on equities was widespread. For the period, the Russell 1000® (large cap), Russell 2000® (small cap), and the Russell 3000® (all cap) Indices returned -11.2%, - -9.4% and -11.1%, respectively. Even with the benefit of currencies that were strong relative to the U.S. Dollar for the period, foreign stock markets offered little help in the way of diversification. For the period, the MSCI EAFE Index returned -11.0% (U.S. Dollars), while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined by -11.8%.
While many of the media headlines took a negative tone and emphasized inflation, the “housing crisis” and the losses in the stock market, various portions of the bond market provided positive returns. Interest rates fell (and bond prices rose) across the yield curve, although the interest rate declines were most pronounced on the shorter end of the curve. Meanwhile, for the period in aggregate, demand for higher-quality, lower-risk bonds like U.S. Treasuries increased, while investors sold higher-risk, lower-quality bonds in an effort to curtail risk. For the period, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index and the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Index returned 1.1% and 3.5% (U.S. Dollars), respectively. Meanwhile, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Credit Bond Index and Lehman U.S. Corporate High Yield Index declined 0.5% and 1.3%, respectively.
Against this backdrop, the Funds in this report have provided the following returns:

Note: Returns greater than one year are annualized.
As noted above, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Mid Cap Fund (Institutional class) returned -5.48%, compared to a return of -3.90% for the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark. Despite the shortfall relative to the benchmark for the period, the Fund performed well relative to peers over the trailing six month period.
Much of the Fund’s relative underperformance during the period was concentrated in the first half of the period. Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”), the Fund’s subadvisor, uses a quantitative model to guide stock selection, whereby the top-rated stocks in their model exhibit a combination of growing earnings, positive price momentum, lower valuations, and higher-quality balance sheets. During the second half of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, the long-term relationship of being positive in the four factor groups did not produce positive returns. During the second quarter, however, CEP began to see the relationship come back into favor. Specifically, as the market was pricing in an extended slowing economy, the higher-quality stocks began outperforming again. CEP also noted that the momentum factors in the model have worked well over the last several quarters, and continued to do so during the second quarter. On a sector basis, stock selection was positive in the information technology, materials and consumer staples sectors. This, however, was offset by negative stock selection within energy, industrials and health care.
Looking forward, CEP remains steadfast in their people, philosophy and process, noting that past periods of underperformance have often led to longer periods of outperformance. The firm believes that dislocations in the current market bring great opportunities for the future.
As noted above, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (Institutional class) returned -4.74%, compared to a return of -6.59% for the hypothetical index consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark. Not only do these results surpass those of the index, but the Fund compares well to peers during the trailing six months and over all significant time periods.
During the period, both the equity and fixed income portions of the Fund contributed positively to relative performance. The equity portion of the Fund benefited from exposure to CEP’s momentum factors, as has been the case since 2007. Quality factors also added value during the first half of 2008, after being out of favor in 2007. The firm’s model also had good discrimination between the highest-rated stocks and the lowest-rated stocks during the period. Within the fixed income portion of the Fund, relative returns were positively impacted by the bias toward Treasuries and high-quality, investment-grade corporate bonds, particularly in the first half of the period.
As of June 30, 2008, the Fund was underweight in equities, with an allocation of 52% equities and 48% fixed income. The asset-allocation decision to underweight equities has helped the Fund’s overall performance. Similar

to past experiences, CEP remains extremely confident that the equity market will return to focus on long-term fundamentals, which are the driving factors in their investment process. Meanwhile, CEP expects to continue managing the fixed income portion with caution, and will look to continue to take advantage of the changing conditions currently in play.
As noted above, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Managers High Yield Fund (Institutional class) returned -1.68%, compared to a return of -1.31% for its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index. Nevertheless, returns have been more favorable over long-term periods and the Fund ranks well above median relative to peers over all significant time periods. For the period, the modest underperformance can be mostly attributed to poor performance within the chemicals, automotive, and retailers sectors. Similarly, abnormally large fund flows during the second quarter hurt performance since the flows occurred during a period of below-average liquidity within the high-yield market, which led to less-than-desirable pricing. These detractors were partly offset by decent relative performance within the telecommunications, financials, and gaming sectors.
Since the middle of 2007, the yield spread between Treasuries and high-yield bonds has widened over 500 basis points, due to strong performance by U.S. Treasuries and falling prices in the high-yield market. While performance during this period has been a little disappointing on a relative and absolute basis, J.P. Morgan Investment Management LLC (“J.P. Morgan”), the Fund’s subadvisor, feels that high yield bonds are currently attractively valued and that prices fell because many are forecasting a significant increase in the default rate as economic growth slows and the credit crunch continues to evolve. J.P. Morgan also believes that the default rate will increase over the next few quarters, but not as drastically as some expect, citing better corporate fundamentals now compared to previous credit crises. Combining these factors, along with high absolute yields, helps support J.P. Morgan’s belief that high-yield investing currently presents a solid opportunity for long-term investors.
As noted above, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Managers Fixed Income Fund (Institutional class) returned 0.05%, compared to a return of 1.13% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark. While returns for the period are somewhat disappointing, the Fund’s absolute and relative performance is significantly better over three-, five-, and ten-year and since-inception time periods. Furthermore, the Fund ranks in the top ten percent compared to peers over all of those time periods. During the period, the Fund trailed the benchmark primarily due to its greater-than-benchmark allocation to corporate bonds and the related underweight to Treasuries. Much of the underperformance was concentrated during the first quarter, when corporate bonds underperformed Treasuries by nearly 500 basis points. Spreads did narrow somewhat during the second quarter, but corporate bonds still finished the period more than 260 basis points behind Treasuries. Security selection within the industrial sector also detracted from relative returns for the period, while a small allocation to non-U.S. bonds contributed positively.
The widening trend in corporate bond spreads has created what Loomis, Sayles & Co., L.P. (“Loomis”), the Fund’s subadvisor, deems to be attractive buying opportunities. Over the past several quarters, Loomis has been gradually decreasing the Fund’s exposure to Treasuries and using the proceeds to carefully allocate to corporate bonds. As of June 30, 2008, nearly 70% of the Fund’s assets were in corporates, versus roughly 20% for the index. Loomis also believes that security selection will likely prove to be more critical moving forward, as default rates are expected to trend upward and market conditions remain vulnerable to the possibility of further economic deterioration. Loomis has lowered its growth forecast for the balance of 2008, due primarily to rising energy costs. Their forecast is for moderate growth in 2009, as the banks recover, credit improves, and the bulk of the damage from the housing crisis moves behind us. Energy prices remain a significant risk to this forecast. In the near term, Loomis believes bond yields could move lower as the market backs off expectations of potential tightening, with a sustained move higher unlikely to occur until 2009. Assuming the economy begins to recover as they have forecast, Loomis believes rate hikes could begin in the second quarter of 2009.

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; reinvested dividends or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Fund Return
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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Managers Funds Performance
All periods ended June 30, 2008 (continued)
Performance differences among the share classes are due to differences in sales charge structures and class expenses. Returns shown reflect maximum sales charge of 5.75% on Class A (4.25% maximum for Managers High Yield and Fixed Income Funds), as well as the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on both Class B and C shares. The Class B shares’ CDSC declines annually between years 1 through 6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1%. No sales charge is assessed after year six. Class C shares held for less than one year are subject to a 1% CDSC.
The Fund share classes differ with regard to sales charges and Fund expenses. In choosing a Fund and class(es), investors should consider the amount they plan to invest, their investment objectives, the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing, and how long they intend to keep their money invested in the Fund and class(es). Each Fund’s prospectus contains information concerning the Fund’s investment objective, risk, charges, and expenses and other information. Additional risks are associated with investing in high yield securities and such securities may be considered speculative. There are also risks associated with investing in small-cap companies, such as increased volatility, and bonds, such as rising interest rates. More specifically, the value of debt instruments held in bond funds declines when interest rates rise and longer-term bonds are more vulnerable to interest rate risk. To obtain a prospectus, please call 800-835-3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com. Please read the Prospectus carefully before you invest in a Fund or send money. Investors should discuss their goals and choices with a registered financial professional in order to determine which share class is appropriate for them.

1 | Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2008. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of an investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed-income securities to fall. |
3 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history, and a reliance on a limited number of products. |
4 | The S&P Mid Cap 400 Index is the most widely used index for mid-size companies and covers approximately 7% of the U.S. equities market. Unlike the Fund, the S&P Mid Cap 400 Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
5 | The benchmark is composed of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. |
6 | The Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Index is a total return performance benchmark for fixed income securities having a maximum quality rating of Ba1 (as determined by Moody’s Investors Service). Unlike the Fund, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
7 | The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an index of the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market, including both government and corporate bonds. Unlike the Fund, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
8 | The Fund holds securities in which the issuer of the security may default or otherwise be unable to honor a financial obligation. The Fund holds securities rated below investment grade that are especially susceptible to this risk. These issuers may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings, and are not as strong financially as higher rated issuers. |
9 | Fixed-income funds are subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors ability to pay its creditors. |
Not FDIC insured, nor bank guaranteed. May lose value.

1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Managers Trust II (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust is comprised of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report are: Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Mid-Cap Fund (“Mid-Cap”) (formerly Managers Mid-Cap Fund), Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (“Balanced”) (formerly Managers Balanced Fund), Managers High Yield Fund (“High Yield”), and Managers Fixed Income Fund (“Fixed Income”), collectively the “Funds.” The Funds each offer four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class. Sales of Class A shares may be subject to a front-end sales charge. Redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares may be subject to a contingent-deferred sales charge (as a percentage of the original offering price or the net asset value at time of sale, whichever is less). Institutional Class shares are available, with no sales charge, to certain institutional investors and qualifying individual investors. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
a. | Valuation of Investments |
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, if one is available. Lacking any sales, over-the counter securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. The Funds’ investments are generally valued based on market quotations provided by third party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. Under certain circumstances, the value of each Fund’s investment may be based on an evaluation of its fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. A Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over a period of time (often referred to as a “stale price”), or (5) the Investment Manager determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. The Investment Manager monitors intervening events that may affect the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio and, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Trustees, will adjust the prices of securities traded in foreign markets, as appropriate, to reflect the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time each Fund’s NAV is calculated.
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that reflect the mean between bid and asked prices for the Balanced, High Yield and Fixed Income Funds. Some of these pricing services utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share except iShares or other ETFs, which are valued the same as equity securities. Securities (including derivatives) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith, and pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market of the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
Investments in certain mortgage-backed, stripped mortgage-backed, preferred stocks, convertible securities and other debt securities not traded on an organized market, are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities, various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)
Level 3 –significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2008:
| | | | | |
Level | | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments* |
Mid-Cap | | | | | |
Level 1 | | $ | 72,387,331 | | — |
Level 2 | | | — | | — |

Level 3 | | | — | | — |
| | | | | |
Total | | $ | 137,923,084 | | — |
| | | | | |
* | Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the instrument. |
The following table is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
| | | | | | |
Balance as of June 30, 2008 | | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments |
Mid-Cap | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
Balanced | | | 0 | | | 0 |
High Yield | | | 0 | | | 0 |
Fixed Income | | | 0 | | | 0 |
Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. | Investment Income and Expenses |
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.
The following Funds had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers who paid a portion of such Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, under these arrangements, the amount by which the Funds’ expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios were: Mid-Cap - $17,244 or 0.06%, and Balanced - $1,537 or 0.02%.
The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the custodian expense was reduced as follows: Mid-Cap - $28, Balanced - $0, High Yield - $2, and Fixed Income - $3.
Overdrafts will cause a reduction of any earnings credits, computed at 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, overdraft fees for Mid-Cap, Balanced, High Yield, and Fixed Income equaled $2,111, $946, $8,547, and $0, respectively.
The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the transfer agent expense was reduced as follows: Mid-Cap - $161, Balanced - $50, High Yield - $103, and Fixed Income - $351. The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments each Fund may have made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Portfolio – Capital Shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the management fee was reduced as follows: Mid-Cap - $0, Balanced - $0, High Yield - $220, Fixed Income - $734.
d. | Dividends and Distributions |
Dividends resulting from net investment, if any, normally will be declared and paid annually for the Mid-Cap Fund, monthly for the Fixed Income and High Yield Funds, and quarterly for the Balanced Fund. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be made on an annual basis and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in-capital.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the capital stock transactions in the Funds by class were:

g. | Capital Loss Carryovers |
As of June 30, 2008, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed.
| | | | | |
| | Capital Loss Carryover Amount | | Expires Dec. 31, |
Balanced | | $ | 1,179,034 | | 2008 |

| | $ | 6,767,059 | | 2009 |
Fixed Income | | $ | 2,814,977 | | 2009 |
h. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income, and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the
48
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
In addition, the Funds do not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations resulting from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
2. | Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates |
The Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”), an independently managed subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), provides or oversees investment management services to the Funds. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for each Fund (subject to Trustee approval), allocates assets among subadvisors and monitors the subadvisors’ investment programs and results. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by a portfolio manager who serves pursuant to Subadvisory Agreements with the Investment Manager.
Investment management fees are paid directly by each Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. The annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008, were as follows:
| | | |
| | Investment Management Fee | |
Mid-Cap | | 0.70 | % |
Balanced | | 0.70 | % |
High Yield | | 0.70 | % |
Fixed Income | | 0.45 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2009 to waive fees and pay or reimburse expenses to the extent that the total operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and extraordinary expenses) exceed the following percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class A | | | Class B | | | Class C | | | Institutional Class | |
Mid-Cap | | 1.24 | % | | 1.99 | % | | 1.99 | % | | 0.99 | %* |
Balanced | | 1.25 | % | | 2.00 | % | | 2.00 | % | | 1.00 | % |
High Yield | | 1.15 | % | | 1.90 | % | | 1.90 | % | | 0.90 | % |
Fixed Income | | 0.84 | % | | 1.59 | % | | 1.59 | % | | 0.59 | %* |
* | Rate change effective May 1, 2007. Prior to this date the expense caps for Institutional Class shares were 1.00% and 0.49% for Mid-Cap and Fixed Income, respectively. |
Each Fund may be obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s expenses in any such year to exceed the above percentages, based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the cumulative amount of expense reimbursement by the Investment Manager subject to the repayment by Mid-Cap, Balanced, High Yield and Fixed Income equaled $330,201, $349,143, $534,947 and $730,496, respectively. Total returns and net investment income for the Funds would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset. Total expenses exclude the impact of expense reimbursements and expense offsets such as brokerage recapture credits but includes non-reimbursable expenses such as interest and taxes, if any.
The Funds have entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which Managers Investment Group LLC serves as each Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund, its shareholders, and certain institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds’ shareholders.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, each of the Funds paid an Administration fee at the rate of 0.20% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Prior to July 1, 2007, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee was $55,000, plus $4,000 or $2,000 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. Effective July 1, 2007, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $65,000, plus $4,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. (Prior to July 1, 2007, the Independent Chairman received an additional payment of $10,000 per year). The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $5,000 per year. (Prior to July 1, 2007, the Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional payment of $2,000 per year). The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents the Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds.
The Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold by brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with MDI. MDI bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or MDI.
The Funds have adopted distribution and service plans with respect to the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Fund (the “Plans”), in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of the
49
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
FINRA regarding asset-based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plans, each Fund may compensate MDI for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each such class of Fund shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plans authorize payments to MDI up to 0.25%, 1.00% and 1.00% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
The Plans further provide for periodic payments by MDI to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales related costs. The portion of payments by Class A, Class B or Class C shares of a Fund for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of Fund shares of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.
The following summarizes the total fees incurred under the plans for Class A, Class B and Class C shares for the six months ended June 30, 2008:
| | | |
| | Amount |
Mid-Cap | | $ | 72,374 |
Balanced | | | 47,571 |
High Yield | | | 89,172 |
Fixed Income | | | 276,143 |
3. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Securities | | U.S. Government Securities |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |
Mid-Cap | | $ | 31,959,620 | | $ | 45,139,688 | | | n/a | | | n/a |
Balanced | | | 4,355,503 | | | 4,893,383 | | $ | 5,688,924 | | $ | 6,076,012 |
High Yield | | | 10,365,935 | | | 8,623,206 | | | n/a | | | n/a |
Fixed Income | | | 33,469,442 | | | 2,814,972 | | | 3,847,239 | | | 6,104,338 |
4. | Portfolio Securities Loaned |
The Funds may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM providing for the lending of equities, corporate bonds and government securities to qualified brokers. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in institutional money market funds or other short-term investments by BNYM. Securities lending fees include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund loaning the security, according to agreed-upon rates.
5. | Commitments and Contingencies |
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risks of loss to be remote.
6. | Risks Associated with Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) (Balanced and Fixed Income) |
The net asset value of Funds may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations because the Funds may hold several instruments, including CMOs and other derivatives, whose values can be significantly impacted by interest rate movements. CMOs are obligations collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-related securities. Payments of principal and interest on the mortgages are passed through to the holder of the CMOs on the same schedule as they are received, although certain classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of prepayments on the mortgages. Therefore, the investment in CMOs may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other types of mortgage-related securities. CMOs may have a fixed or variable rate of interest.
7. | Risks Associated with High Yield Securities (High Yield) |
Investing in high yield securities involves greater risks and considerations not typically associated with U.S. Government and other high quality/investment grade securities. High Yield securities are generally below investment grade securities and do not have an established retail secondary market. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations and could cause the securities to become less liquid.
8. | New Accounting Pronouncement |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).” FIN 48 applies to all registered investment companies and establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Investment Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2004-2007) and has concluded that as of June 30, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, the Investment Manager is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, the Investment Manager’s conclusion regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance expected from FASB, and ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.

Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)
On June 6, 2008, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for each of the Funds identified below and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund Subadvisor. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each a “Peer Group”), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each a “Fund Benchmark”) and other information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors under their respective agreements. The Trustees also took into account information on the services provided by the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor (including information provided at meetings held on May 15-16 and June 5-6, 2008), as well as performance, fee and expense information regarding each Fund provided to them on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
Nature, extent and quality of services.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ familiarity with the Investment Manager’s management through Board meetings, discussions and reports. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisors; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds.
For each Fund, the Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (for each Subadvisor, its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the Fund or the portion of the Fund for which the Subadvisor has portfolio management responsibility. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding each Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and each Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individual or individuals at each Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the portion of the Fund managed by the Subadvisor, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. With respect to those Funds managed with multiple Subadvisors, the Trustees also noted information provided by the Investment Manager regarding the manner in which each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy complements those utilized by a Fund’s other Subadvisors. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by each Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of each Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under its Subadvisory Agreement.
Performance.
As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about the Fund’s performance results, portfolio composition and Investment Strategies, including with respect to the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadvisor. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board also noted each Subadvisor’s performance record with respect to the Fund. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring each Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
Advisory Fees and Profitability.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Fund’s Subadvisors and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain expense limitations for the Funds.
51
Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the Managers Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for certain of the Funds from time to time as a means of limiting the total expenses of the smaller Funds. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Trustees also considered the current asset levels of the Funds and the impact on profitability of growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in a manager-of-managers structure and, as a Fund grows in size, it is common practice for the Investment Manager to recommend the selection of an additional Subadvisor to manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees further noted that, because of this practice, the Investment Manager’s oversight and supervisory responsibilities with respect to the Funds can be expected to increase with the size of the Funds. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for any Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
Subadvisory Fees and Profitability.
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to each Subadvisor (other than Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”), which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with the Subadvisors (other than CEP). In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. Accordingly, the cost of services to be provided by each unaffiliated Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with a Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, and based on the current size of the portion of a Fund managed by each Subadvisor, the Trustees concluded that the effect of any economies of scale being realized by each unaffiliated Subadvisor was not a material factor in the Trustees’ deliberations at this time.
In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable by the Investment Manager to CEP, the Trustees noted that CEP is an affiliate of the Investment Manager and reviewed information provided by CEP regarding the cost to CEP of providing subadvisory services to a Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. Accordingly, the cost of services to be provided by CEP and the profitability to CEP of its relationship with a Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, and based on the current size of the portion of a Fund managed by CEP, the Trustees concluded that the effect of any economies of scale being realized by CEP was not a material factor in the Trustees’ deliberations at this time.
In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund and each Subadvisor.
MANAGERS AMG CHICAGO EQUITY PARTNERS BALANCED FUND
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class A shares for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2008 was above the median performance of the Peer Group for each period and below, below, above and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, a Composite Index (60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index). The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2008 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2009, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.25%, 2.00%, 2.00% and 1.00% for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s performance, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

Fund Performance.

The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s more recent performance. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2008 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2009, to limit the Fund’s net

annual operating expenses to 0.84%, 1.59%, 1.59% and 0.59% for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s performance, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.
MANAGERS AMG CHICAGO EQUITY PARTNERS MID-CAP FUND
Fund Performance.

The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s 10-year performance has exceeded the median of its Peer Group, which has resulted in the Fund performing within the top quartile of its Peer Group (Institutional Class Shares) since inception of the Fund (January 2, 1997) through the period ended March 31, 2008. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2008 were both lower than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees also took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2009, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.24%, 1.99%, 1.99% and 0.99% for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s performance, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2008 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2009, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 1.15%, 1.90%, 1.90% and 0.90% for Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares and Institutional Class shares, respectively. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.
* * * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement, in addition to those conclusions discussed above: (a) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and the applicable Subadvisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Fund’s investment objectives; (c) each Subadvisor is reasonably likely to execute its Investment Strategy consistently over time; and (d) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of each Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement (as applicable) would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 6, 2008, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (as applicable) for each Fund.

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
As you are undoubtedly aware, the financial markets were under significant pressure during a majority of the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 (the “period”). The period began with the major U.S. equity markets seeing their worst returns in 5 1/2 years during the first quarter, largely driven by investor concerns over the economic impact of a decline in U.S. home values and the related devaluation of the mortgage-securities market. After the Federal Reserve’s mid-March establishment of the credit facility to extend overnight funds to primary dealers and the bail out of Bear Stearns, the second quarter started with many investors believing that the worst of the credit crunch was over, that economic growth would begin to bounce back later in the year, and that stock prices, in anticipation of future growth, would advance. That’s actually how it played out – until mid-to-late May, that is. Stocks, unfortunately, then sold off during the remainder of the quarter as investors’ concerns over surging energy and food prices, continued fallout from the credit crisis, slow economic growth, and declining corporate profits took center stage. Time will tell if the concerns are completely justified. In the short term, however, the pain in the financial markets has been all too real.
The resulting impact on equities was widespread. For the period, the Russell 1000® (large cap), Russell 2000® (small cap), and the Russell 3000® (all cap) Indices returned -11.2%, - -9.4% and -11.1%, respectively. Even with the benefit of currencies that were strong relative to the U.S. Dollar for the period, foreign stock markets offered little help in the way of diversification. For the period, the MSCI EAFE Index returned -11.0% (U.S. Dollars), while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index declined by -11.8%.
While many of the media headlines took a negative tone and emphasized inflation, the “housing crisis” and the losses in the stock market, various portions of the bond market provided positive returns. Interest rates fell (and bond prices rose) across the yield curve, although the interest rate declines were most pronounced on the shorter end of the curve. Meanwhile, for the period in aggregate, demand for higher-quality, lower-risk bonds like U.S. Treasuries increased, while investors sold higher-risk, lower-quality bonds in an effort to curtail risk. For the period, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index and the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Index returned 1.1% and 3.5% (U.S. Dollars), respectively. Meanwhile, the Citigroup Mortgage Index advanced 1.9%.
Against this backdrop, the Managers Short Duration Government Fund and the Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (each a “Fund,” and collectively the “Funds”) advanced, as detailed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Periods Ended 06/30/08 | | 6 Months | | | 1 Year | | | 3 Years | | | 5 Years | | | 10 Years | | | Since Inception | | | Inception Date |
Short Duration Government Fund | | 1.10 | % | | 3.61 | % | | 4.02 | % | | 3.27 | % | | 4.06 | % | | 4.64 | % | | 3/31/1992 |
Merrill Lynch Six-Month T-Bill Index | | 1.62 | % | | 4.62 | % | | 4.60 | % | | 3.38 | % | | 3.88 | % | | 4.28 | % | | 3/31/1992 |
Intermediate Duration Government Fund | | 0.03 | % | | 5.66 | % | | 3.67 | % | | 3.59 | % | | 5.04 | % | | 6.33 | % | | 3/31/1992 |
Citigroup Mortgage Index | | 1.86 | % | | 8.05 | % | | 4.85 | % | | 4.60 | % | | 5.80 | % | | 6.49 | % | | 3/31/1992 |
Note: Returns greater than one year are annualized.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Managers Short Duration Government Fund (the “Short Duration Fund”) returned 1.10%, underperforming its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Six-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which returned 1.62%. Despite the shortfall relative to the benchmark, the Fund performed well relative to its peers during the period. The Fund has also fared very well versus its peers over the past one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, ended June 30, 2008.
During the period, the Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark was driven mostly by first-quarter results, when returns were hindered primarily by the Fund’s exposure to agency mortgages, which underperformed Treasuries significantly during the quarter. Agency mortgages did, however, manage to outpace sectors with higher credit risks during that same period. The large exposure to agency mortgages in the Fund is consistent with the investment process used by the team at Smith Breeden Associates, Inc. (“Smith Breeden”), the Fund’s subadvisor, to manage this Portfolio. Partially

Letter to Shareholders (continued)
offsetting the lower results generated by the agency mortgages was the Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which benefitted results primarily during the first quarter when short-term rates fell and the yield curve steepened.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (the “Intermediate Duration Fund”) returned 0.03%, underperforming its benchmark, the Citigroup Mortgage Index, which returned 1.86%. Despite falling short of the benchmark during the period, the Fund has still generated solid results over the past three-, five-, and ten-year time periods relative to its peers.
Similar to the performance of the Short Duration Fund, the Intermediate Duration Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark was driven mostly by its results in the first quarter. The primary driver of the shortfall was the Fund’s exposure to agency mortgages, which, as noted above, underperformed Treasuries significantly during the first quarter. Agency mortgages did, however, manage to outpace sectors with higher credit risk during that same period. Partially offsetting the lower returns of the agency mortgages, and once again consistent with the Short Duration Fund, was the Intermediation Duration Fund’s yield-curve positioning, which modestly augmented results, especially during the first quarter.
Looking ahead, Smith Breeden is optimistic about the mortgage-backed securities market, as management believes that current economic conditions will prevent the Federal Reserve from raising interest rates in the near term, which should benefit returns in both Funds. Further, Smith Breeden believes that mortgage spreads, which are at levels not seen since the demise of Long Term Capital Management in 1998, are unjustifiably wide and will tighten as these markets settle down.
The following report covers the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your on-going costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information through the most recent month end, please call 800.835.3879 or visit our Web site at www.managersinvest.com.
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses. All returns are in U.S. dollars($). Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of an investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed-income securities to fall.
Fixed-income funds are subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk, fluctuations in the debtor’s perceived ability to pay its creditors, and changing interest rate risk. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed-income securities to fall.
The Funds’ may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy. There is also a risk that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected. The main risk with derivatives is that some types can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative or that the counterparty may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss for the Fund. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so.
Many bonds have call provisions which allow the debtors to pay them back before maturity. This is especially true with mortgage securities, which can be paid back anytime. Typically debtors prepay their debt when it is to their advantage (when interest rates drop making a new loan at current rates more attractive), and thus likely to the disadvantage of bondholders, who may have to reinvest prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields. Prepayment risk will vary depending on the provisions of the security and current interest rates relative to the interest rate of the debt.
Investors should carefully consider the amount they plan to invest, their investment objectives, the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or visit www.managersinvest. com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money. Distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc., member FINRA.
The Merrill Lynch Six-Month T-Bill Index is an unmanaged index that measures returns of six-month Treasury Bills. Unlike the Short Duration Government Fund, the Merrill Lynch Six-Month T-Bill Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.
The Citigroup Mortgage Index includes all outstanding government sponsored fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, weighted in proportion to their current market capitalization. The Index reflects no deductions for fees, expenses, or taxes. Unlike the Intermediate Duration Government Fund, the Citigroup Mortgage Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.
Not FDIC insured, nor bank guaranteed. May lose value.

1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Managers Trust II (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust is comprised of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report are two series of Trust II: Managers Short Duration Government Fund (“Short Duration”) and Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (“Intermediate Duration”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”).
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
a. | Valuation of Investments |
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, if one is available. Lacking any sales, over-the counter securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. The Funds’ investments are generally valued based on market quotations provided by the third party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds. Under certain circumstances, the value of a specific investment may be based on an evaluation of its fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. A Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) market quotations are not readily available because a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and has not resumed before the Fund calculates its NAV, (3) where a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time of the market quotation provided for a portfolio security and the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV, (4) a security’s price has remained unchanged over a period of time (often referred to as a “stale price”), or (5) Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”) determines that a market quotation is inaccurate. Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets, as adjusted to reflect the Investment Manager’s determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates their NAV. In accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager relies upon recommendations of a third-party fair valuation service in adjusting the prices of such foreign portfolio investments. The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board of Trustees has adopted procedures to adjust prices when thinly traded securities are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations. An investment’s valuation may differ depending on the method used and the factors considered in determining value according to the Funds’ fair value procedures.
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Short-term investments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in other regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share except iShares or other ETF’s, which are valued the same as equity securities. Investments in certain mortgage-backed, stripped mortgage-backed, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities market are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities and various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value. Securities (including derivatives) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith, and pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk)
Level 3 –significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following table summarizes the valuation of the Funds’ net assets by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2008:

The following table is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
| | | | | | |
Balance as of June 30, 2008 | | Investments in Securities | | Other Financial Instruments |
Short Duration | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
Intermediate Duration | | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. | Investment Income and Expenses |
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed. These dividends are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend Income on foreign securities is recorded net of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.
The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), formerly the Bank of New York, the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the custodian expense was reduced as follows: Short Duration - $278 and Intermediate Duration - $121.
Overdrafts will cause a reduction of any earnings credits and are computed at 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Funds’ had no overdraft fees.
The Trust also has a balance credit arrangement with its Transfer Agent, PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc. (formerly PFPC Inc.), whereby earnings credits are used to offset banking charges and other out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the transfer agent expense was reduced as follows: Short Duration - $656 and Intermediate Duration - $532.
The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Fund has made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Portfolio. For six months ended June 30, 2008, the management fee was reduced as follows: Short Duration - $6,960, Intermediate Duration - $3,200.
Total returns and net investment income for the Funds would have been lower had certain expenses not been offset. Total expenses before offsets exclude the impact of expense reimbursements or fee waivers and expense offsets such as brokerage recapture credits, but include non-reimburseable expenses such as interest and taxes, if any.
d. | Dividends and Distributions |
Dividends resulting from net investment income, if any, normally will be declared and paid monthly for each Fund. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be made annually in December and when required for Federal excise tax purposes. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, REITS, equalization accounting for tax purposes, foreign currency, options, futures and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.

f. | Capital Loss Carryovers |
As of June 30, 2008, the Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the chart. These amounts may be used for Federal income tax purposes to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed.
| | | | | |
Fund | | Capital Loss Carryover Amounts | | Expires Dec. 31, |
Short Duration | | $ | 1,568,229 | | 2008 |
| | | 362,610 | | 2009 |
| | | 213,372 | | 2012 |
| | | 285,554 | | 2014 |

| | | | | |
Total: | | $ | 3,134,149 | | |
| | | | | |
Intermediate Duration | | $ | 591,542 | | 2014 |
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value, for each Fund. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
At June 30, 2008, certain unaffiliated shareholders, specifically omnibus accounts, individually held greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Funds as follows: Short Duration - 2 collectively own 64%; and Intermediate Duration—2 collectively own 64%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Funds.
h. | Reverse Repurchase Agreements |
A reverse repurchase agreement involves the sale of portfolio assets together with an agreement to repurchase the same or substantially the same assets later at a fixed price. An interest expense is charged to the Fund for the duration of the sale. Additional assets are maintained in a segregated account with the custodian, and are marked to market daily. The segregated assets may consist of cash, U.S. Government securities, or other liquid securities at least equal in value to the obligations under the reverse repurchase agreements. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a fund’s use of the proceeds under the agreement may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the obligation to repurchase the securities. As of June 30, 2008, there were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding.
i. | Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities |
The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked to market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption when-issued. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
j. | Dollar Roll and Reverse Dollar Roll Agreements |
The Funds may enter into dollar rolls in which they sell debt securities for delivery currently and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities at the same price or a lower price on an agreed date. The Funds receive compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is the difference between the current sale price and the forward price for the future price (often referred to as the “drop”) as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. The Funds may also be compensated by the receipt of a commitment fee. As the holder, the counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made with respect to the similar security. Dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price with a cash settlement mad at renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally, the value of such securities may change adversely before the Funds are able to repurchase them. There can be no assurance that the Funds use of the cash that they receive from a dollar roll will provide a return that exceeds its cost.
k. | Securities Transacted on a When Issued Basis |
The Funds may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Valuation of Investments,” in footnote 1a above. Each contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

| | | | | | | | |
The Funds may use interest rate futures contracts for risk management purposes in order to reduce fluctuations in the Fund’s net asset value relative to the Fund’s targeted option-adjusted duration. On entering into a futures contract, either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin) must be deposited with the futures broker. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received each day. The variation margin payments equal the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Short Duration had the following open futures contracts as of June 30, 2008:

Futures transactions involve additional costs and may result in losses. The effective use of futures depends on the Fund’s ability to close futures positions at times when the Fund’s portfolio managers deem it desirable to do so. The use of futures also involves the risk of imperfect correlation among movements in the values of the securities underlying the futures purchased and sold by the Funds, of the futures contracts themselves, and of the securities that are the subject of a hedge.

Fund | | Assets Pledged |
Short Duration | | $ | 793,817 |

A written option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option) the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Options written (sold) are recorded as liabilities. When an option expires, the premium (original option value) is realized as a gain if the option was written or as a loss if the option was purchased. When the exercise of an option results in a cash settlement, the difference between the premium and the settlement proceeds is recognized as realized gain or loss. When securities are acquired or delivered upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sale proceeds are adjusted by the amount of the premium. When an option is closed, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is realized as a gain or loss. At June 30, 2008, there were no written options outstanding.
o. | Commitments and Contingencies |
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these agreements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risks of loss to be remote.
2. | Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates |
The Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement under which Managers Investment Group LLC (the “Investment Manager”), an independently managed subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds. The Investment Manager selects subadvisors for the Funds (subject to Trustee approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment programs and results. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by a portfolio manager who serves pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement with the Investment Manager.
Investment management fees are paid directly by each Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the annual investment management fee rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets were as follows: Short Duration – 0.70% and Intermediate Duration – 0.70%.
The Investment Manager had contractually agreed, through July 31, 2005, to waive its fees and/or bear expenses of the Short Duration Fund to cause total operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage costs, acquired fund fees and extraordinary expenses) to not exceed the annual rate of 0.78%. Short Duration Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such payment would not cause the Fund’s total operating expenses as a percent of average net assets in any such future year to exceed 0.78%. Effective January 1, 2008, Managers has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2009, to limit the Intermediate Duration Fund’s annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage costs, acquired fund fees and extraordinary expenses) to 0.89% of average daily net assets. Intermediate Duration Fund was obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurred within (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such payment would not cause the Fund’s expenses as a percent of average net assets in any such future year to exceed 0.88%. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Funds made no such repayments to the Investment Manager. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the cumulative amount of reimbursement by the Investment Manager subject to repayment by Short Duration and Intermediate Duration was $7,073 and $37,957, respectively.
Prior to July 1, 2007, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee was $55,000, plus $4,000 or $2,000 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. Effective July 1, 2007, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee is $65,000, plus $4,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated amongst all of the Funds for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the “Managers Funds”) based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. (Prior to July 1, 2007, the Independent Chairman received an additional payment of $10,000 per year). The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $5,000 per year. (Prior to July 1, 2007, the Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional payment of $2,000 per year). The “Trustee fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represent each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Fund and other affiliated funds in the Managers Funds.
The Funds are distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “MDI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The MDI serves as the principal underwriter for each Fund in the Trust. MDI is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold by brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. MDI bears all the expenses of providing services pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of Prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

3. | Purchases and Sales of Securities |
Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Securities | | U.S. Government Securities |
Fund | | Purchases | | Sales | | Purchases | | Sales |
Short Duration | | $ | 3,464,987 | | $ | 5,845,237 | | $ | 417,412,406 | | $ | 384,646,297 |
Intermediate Duration | | | 50,302 | | | 42,081,854 | | | 537,559,451 | | | 466,268,858 |
4. | Portfolio Securities Loaned |
The Funds may participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM providing for the lending of equities, corporate bonds and government securities to qualified brokers. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and/or government securities. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. Collateral received in the form of cash is invested temporarily in institutional money market funds or other short-term investments by BNYM.
Securities lending fees include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate. These earnings (after rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund loaning the security, according to agreed-upon rates.
5. | Risks Associated with Mortgage Related and Asset-Backed Securities |
Asset-backed securities are less effective than other types of securities as a means of “locking in” attractive long-term interest rates. One reason is the need to reinvest prepayments of principal; another is the possibility of significant unscheduled prepayments resulting from declines in interest rates. These prepayments would have to be reinvested at lower rates. As a result, these securities may have less potential for capital appreciation during periods of declining interest rates than other securities of comparable maturities, although they may have a similar risk of decline in market value during periods of rising interest rates. Prepayments may also significantly shorten the effective maturities of these securities, especially during periods of declining interest rates. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, a reduction in prepayments may increase the effective maturities of these securities, subjecting them to a greater risk of decline in market value in response to rising interest rates than traditional debt securities, and therefore, potentially increasing the volatility of the Funds.
Prepayments may cause losses on securities purchased at a premium. At times, some mortgage- backed and asset-backed securities will have higher than market interest rates and therefore will be purchased at a premium above their par value.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO’s”) may be issued by a U.S. government agency or instrumentality or by a private issuer. Although payment of the principal of, and interest on, the underlying collateral securing privately issued CMO’s may be guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities, these CMO’s represent obligations solely of the private issuer and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities or any other person or entity.
Prepayments could cause early retirement of CMO’s. CMO’s are designed to reduce the risk of prepayment for investors by issuing multiple classes of securities, each having different maturities, interest rates and payment schedules, and with the principal and interest on the underlying mortgages allocated among the several classes in various ways. Payment of interest or principal on some classes or series of CMO’s may be subject to contingencies or some classes or series may bear some or all of the risk of default on the underlying mortgages. CMO’s of different classes or series are generally retired in sequence as the underlying mortgage loans in the mortgage pool are repaid. If enough mortgages are repaid ahead of schedule, the classes or series of a CMO with the earliest maturities generally will be retired prior to their maturities. Thus, the early retirement of particular classes or series of a CMO would have the same effect as the prepayment of mortgages underlying other mortgage-backed securities. Conversely, slower than anticipated prepayments can extend the effective maturities of CMO’s, subjecting them to a greater risk of decline in market value in response to rising interest rates than traditional debt securities, and therefore, potentially increasing their volatility.
25
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Prepayments could result in losses on stripped mortgage-backed securities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different portions of interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage loans. The yield to maturity on an interest only or “IO” class of stripped mortgage-backed securities is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) and the underlying assets. A rapid rate of principal prepayments may have a measurable adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity to the extent it invests in IO’s. If the assets underlying the IO experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may fail to recoup fully its initial investment in these securities. Conversely, principal only or “PO’s” tend to increase in value if prepayments are greater than anticipated and decline if prepayments are slower than anticipated.
6. | New Accounting Pronouncement |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”).” FIN 48 applies to all registered investment companies and establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Investment Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended March 31, 2005 – 2007 and December 31, 2007) and has concluded that as of June 30, 2008, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, the Investment Manager is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, the Investment Manager’s conclusion regarding FIN 48 may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation guidance expected from FASB, and ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.
7. | Change in Fiscal Year Ends |
Short Duration and Intermediate Duration have changed their fiscal year ends from March 31 to December 31, effective December 31, 2007.
26
Annual Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements (unaudited)
On June 6, 2008, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for each of the Managers Short Duration Government Fund and the Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (each a “Fund”) and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds for each Fund (each a “Peer Group”), performance information for the benchmark index for each Fund (each a “Fund Benchmark”) and other information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor under their respective agreements. The Trustees also took into account information on the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor (including information provided at meetings held on May 15-16 and June 5-6, 2008), as well as performance, fee and expense information regarding each Fund provided to them on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
Nature, extent and quality of services.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ familiarity with the Investment Manager’s management through Board meetings, discussions and reports. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisor; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and to maintain a contractual expense limitation for the Intermediate Duration Government Fund.
For each Fund, the Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (the “Investment Strategy”) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding the Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the Funds, including the information set forth in the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance programs. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement.
Performance.
With respect to the Managers Short Duration Government Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2008 was above the median performance of its Peer Group for each period and below, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 6-Month U.S. T-Bill Index. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to the Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2008 was below, below, above and above, respectively, the median performance of its Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Citigroup Mortgage Index, for each period. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the effect of current mortgage market conditions on short-term performance. The Trustees also noted the Fund’s strong long-term performance relative to its Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.
As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both the Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition as well as the Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy. The Board also noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring the Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees and Profitability.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager and the subadvisory fee payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadvisor, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the Managers Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the

Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Funds, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Subadvisor and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for each Fund’s Peer Group, which consists of many funds that do not operate using a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain an expense limitation for the Intermediate Duration Government Fund.
The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for the Intermediate Duration Government Fund from time to time as a means of limiting its total expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure of the Funds. On this basis, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates of their relationships with the Funds is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the fees for either Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadvisor, the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with the Subadvisor. Accordingly, the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to the Subadvisor of its relationship with each Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, and based on the current size of each Fund, the Trustees concluded that the effect of any economies of scale being realized by the Subadvisor in managing the Fund was not a material factor at this time.
The Trustees noted that each Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2008 were both higher than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2009, to limit the Intermediate Duration Government Fund’s net annual operating expenses to 0.89%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, each Fund’s performance and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Funds’ advisory fees are reasonable.
* * * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements in addition to the conclusions discussed above: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under the Investment Management Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor has the resources to perform its duties under each of the Subadvisory Agreements and is qualified to manage each Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the Investment Manager and Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement (as applicable) would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 6, 2008, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements for each Fund.
