Fund Objective

The Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Mid-Cap Fund's objective is to provide a high total return, consistent with the preservation of capital and a prudent level of risk. 

Fund Strategy

The Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Mid-Cap Fund (formerly Mid-Cap Fund) seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting of the common stocks of medium-sized companies which will generally be listed on the New York or American stock exchanges or on NASDAQ and be widely held among a large number of investors.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in companies that, at the time of purchase, have market capitalizations between $1 billion and $12 billion. The Fund may also invest in other U.S. and foreign securities, including foreign securities and warrants. The Fund's benchmark is the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
