Objective

The Managers Frontier Small Cap Growth Fund's objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Focus

The Managers Frontier Small Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of small U.S. capitalization companies whose market capitalization at the time of purchase is within the range of the Russell 2000® Index. The Fund may retain securities that it already has purchased even if the capitalization drops below or outgrows the capitalization range. The Fund may also invest in stocks that are traded in the over-the-counter market.

The Subadvisor believes that, over time, stock prices tend to follow earnings progress and that stocks owned must be purchased at reasonable valuations.

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. Unlike the Fund, the index listed is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

Annual expense ratio as of 03/01/2010. The Fund's Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through March 1, 2011, to limit Fund operating expenses. The net expense ratio reflects this limitation, while the gross expense ratio does not. Please refer to the Fund's prospectus for additional information on the Fund's expenses.
