Systematic Mid Cap Value Fund

Overview Commentary Management Philosophy Process Performance

Fund Objective

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

Fund Strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio consisting of approximately 60 to 80 common and preferred stocks of medium-sized companies, which will generally be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or on NASDAQ.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes, in mid-capitalization companies that, at the time of purchase, have market capitalizations greater than $1 billion but less than the greater of $15 billion or the upper limit of the Russell Midcap® Value Index. (As of March 31, 2007, the upper limit of the Russell Midcap Value Index was approximately $21.26 billion.) The Fund may retain a security if the issuer's capitalization exceeds the greater of $15 billion or the upper limit of the Russell Midcap Value Index after the Fund has purchased the issuer's security. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' written notice of any change in this policy.
