Performance

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 Funds are net of expenses, and the returns and yields on the indices exclude expenses. Current performance of the Funds may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Benchmark index performance is located at the bottom of the table.

Footnotes

1. Performance for periods longer than one year are annualized.

2. Performance marked "At NAV" does not reflect the deduction of a sales load that, if reflected, would reduce the performance reported.

3. Returns for all periods prior to March 1, 2002 reflect performance of the Investor class, which began operations on November 1, 1999. Prior to March 1, 2002, the Fund had a single share class (the Investor class). On March 1, 2002, the Institutional share class was launched with a lower total operating expense ratio than the Investor class. The Fund changed to a single class structure on June 30, 2006, when the Investor class was closed and each Investor class share of the Fund outstanding at the conversion time was converted to a number of full and/or fractional Institutional class shares of the Fund. The performance information for periods prior to March 1, 2002 reflects actual performance of the Investor class shares for that period and has not been adjusted for any expense ratio difference between the Investor and Institutional class shares.

4. As of July 27, 2009, the Fund changed its name from “GW&K Multi-Cap Equity Fund” to “GW&K Small Cap Equity Fund,” adopted the Fund’s current investment strategies, and will compare its performance to the Russell 2000® Index. Prior to July 27, 2009, (and for the periods shown below), the Fund focused on a multi-cap equity strategy and compared its performance to the Russell 3000® Index. The performance information shown, as represented by the performance of the Fund’s Investor Class shares (formerly Class A shares), includes that of (i) the predecessor to the Fund, the BNY Hamilton Multi-Cap Equity Fund, a series of BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. (the “Multi-Cap Predecessor Fund”), which was reorganized into the Fund on November 10, 2008, and was managed by GW&K with the same investment objective and substantially similar investment policies as those of the Fund, when it was managed as a multi-cap fund, and (ii) GW&K Equity Fund, a series of the Gannett Welsh & Kotler Funds, which was managed by GW&K and reorganized into the Multi-Cap Predecessor Fund on October 7, 2002. Because the Fund’s Service Class and Institutional Class shares have not operated for a full fiscal year, performance history for these share classes is not available. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund were managed using the current investment strategies.

5. The "Since Inception" return, and returns for all periods beginning prior to 06/25/02, for the Managers AMG Essex Small/Micro Cap Growth Fund reflect performance linked with a "Predecessor Account" which began operations on September 28, 2000. The Predecessor Account’s objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions were, in all material respects, the same as the Fund’s. The Predecessor Account was not registered as a mutual fund and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed upon mutual funds. If the Predecessor Account had been registered as a mutual fund, the Account’s performance may have been adversely affected. Prior to March 1, 2006, the Fund had a single share class, which did not carry an up-front sales charge. On March 1, 2006, the existing shares were redesignated as Class A shares. Class A shares have an up-front sales charge. Performance for Class A shares above is based on the performance of the Fund's class in existence prior to March 1, 2006 adjusted to reflect the sales charge applicable to Class A shares.

6. Figures are based on the historical highest Individual Federal tax bracket and do not consider state or local taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax. After tax returns shown are for the Institutional class. A and C class shares are invested similarly but will have after tax performance less than that shown because of their higher expenses. Actual returns depend on an investor's situation and may differ. After-tax returns may not be relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements. The after-tax performance figures here may vary from figures provided by other sources if those figures include certain additional tax credits. Pre-liquidation figures include taxes on the fund’s distribution of dividends and capital gains. If the sale of shares results in a capital loss that offsets capital gains or other income, post-liquidation after-tax returns may exceed pre-liquidation after-tax returns.

7. An investment in a Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government Agency. Although the Money Market Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
