Objective

The Managers AMG Essex Growth Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Focus

The Managers AMG Essex Growth Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of U.S. companies with the potential for long-term growth.

The performance shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. From time to time the advisor has waived fees or reimbursed expenses, which may have resulted in higher returns. The listed returns and yields on the Fund are net of expenses.
