Fund Objective
The Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund's investment objective is to achieve a high total investment return, consistent with the preservation of capital and prudent investment risk.
Fund Strategy
The Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (formerly Balanced Fund) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing approximately 50-65% of its total assets in equity securities and investing the remainder in bonds and other fixed-income securities, as well as cash or cash equivalents. The equity portion of the Fund is invested primarily in a diversified portfolio of U.S. common stocks, as well as other U.S. and foreign securities, including convertible securities and warrants. Normally, the equity portion of the Fund will focus on large and medium-sized companies which will generally be listed on the New York, American or NASDAQ exchanges and be widely held among a large number of investors.
The Fund will generally invest at least 25% of the Fund’s total assets in a range of fixed income securities, including domestic and foreign fixed-income securities and non-U.S. dollar securities. The Fund may also invest up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets in below-investment grade securities (those rated Ba1/BB+ or lower by Moody’s/Standard & Poor’s). The Fund's benchmark is 60% S&P 500© Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, as of May 1, 2007.

Disclosure
Investors should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or download a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.
The performance shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. 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 and the returns and yields on the indices exclude expenses. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data shown is current to the most recent month end.
Investments in foreign securities, even though publicly traded in the United States, may involve risks which are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments.
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtor's ability to pay its creditors.
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.
Class C shares convert to an equal dollar value of Class A shares at the end of the tenth year after purchase.
Annual net expense ratio as of 05/01/08. The investment manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2008, to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage, acquired fund expenses and extraordinary items) to the expense cap ratios listed of each class' average daily net assets.
Unlike the Fund, the Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. Please see Index Definitions for all our funds' benchmarks.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metric.
Morningstar Rating is for the share class indicated only (see ticker), other share classes may have different performance characteristics. The Ranking may reflect the waiver of all or a portion of the fund's fees. Without such waiver, the Rankings may have been lower.
