Fund Objective

The Managers AMG Systematic Value Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

Fund Strategy

The Managers AMG Systematic Value Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common and preferred stocks of medium- and large-capitalization U.S. companies. The term "medium - and large-capitalization companies” refers to companies that, at the time of purchase, have market capitalizations greater than $2.5 billion.  Systematic Financial Management selects stocks of companies that it believes are undervalued relative to a company’s historic and expected earnings.

Ordinarily, the Fund will invest in companies from all sectors of the market based on its fundamental research and analysis of various characteristics, including financial statements, sales and expense trends, earnings estimates, market position of the company and industry outlook. Systematic also looks for “catalysts” which could positively or negatively affect prices of current and potential companies for the Fund. The Russell 1000® Value Index is the benchmark for the Fund.

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.

The Fund invests in value stocks, which may perform differently from the market as a whole and may be undervalued by the market for a long period of time. Value stocks may underperform growth stocks during given periods.

Class C shares convert to an equal dollar value of Class A shares at the end of the tenth year after purchase.

The Investment Manager and Systematic have contractually agreed, through July 1, 2009, to limit Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary items) to 1.15%, 1.90%, and 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares, respectively, subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. In general, for a period of up to 36 months from the time of any waiver or payment pursuant to the Fund’s contractual expense limitation, the Investment Manager and Systematic may recover from the Fund fees waived and expenses paid to the extent that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not subject to waiver and do not factor into the Fund’s fee waiver and reimbursement.

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.
