Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder:
Thank you for your investment in The
Managers Funds. Our foremost goal at Managers Investment Group (MIG) is to provide investment products and solutions that help our shareholders and clients successfully reach their investment goals and objectives. We do this by offering
a broad selection of Funds managed by a collection of Affiliated Managers Groups (AMG) Affiliate investment boutiques, along with a complementary series of open-architecture mutual funds.
The past year has been an exciting one for us at MIG. We were pleased to welcome the Brandywine Funds into the Managers Fund Family several months ago. We are
excited to begin this new chapter in the 27-year history of the Brandywine Funds, while maintaining shareholders access to the same investment process that has guided the Brandywine Funds since their inception using the research-driven
investment approach of Friess Associates.
We announced effective November 1, 2013, that the GW&K Small Cap Equity Fund would be closed to new
investors with certain limited exceptions. The team at GW&K manages a total of $2.5 billion (as of December 31, 2013) in small-capitalization equities and closing the Fund to new investors allows the team to continue to execute on the
investment process that has been effective for more than a decade. We also announced effective December 31, 2013, that Yacktman Fund and Yacktman Focused Fund will be closed to new investors with certain limited exceptions. The team at Yacktman
Asset Management manages over $30 billion in U.S. equities and closing these Funds to new investors allows the team to continue to execute on the investment process that has been effective for more than two decades. We will continue to make
decisions such as these that we believe are in the best interest of our shareholders.
Risky assets did well in 2013, with U.S. equity markets surpassing
all-time highs. Ongoing global monetary easing, a low-yield environment, and healthy U.S. economic growth are supporting investor appetite for risk assets. Despite improving investor sentiment, risks remain, including uncertainty surrounding the
Feds eventual exit from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy, ongoing fiscal headwinds in the U.S. and slower growth in Emerging Markets. Nevertheless, we are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the upcoming year and we are
confident that our Funds are well positioned to weather an uncertain economic environment.
We thank you for your continued confidence and investment in
The Managers Funds. You can rest assured that under all market conditions our team is focused on delivering excellent investment management services for your benefit.
Respectfully,
Keitha Kinne
President
The Managers Funds

About Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which
may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand
your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as
indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in
this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the
number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the
Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports
of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any
transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different
funds.

Managers Special Equity Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments
The Managers Special Equity Funds
(the Fund) investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through
a diversified portfolio of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
The Fund employs multiple subadvisors who specialize in distinct investment approaches. This intelligence diversification not only
serves to manage risk, but also helps us tap the markets full potential by focusing different analytical insights on each prospective investment. Fund management strives to achieve its performance and diversification objectives while ensuring
that the Fund operates within the framework of its investment objective and principal investment strategies.
Federated MDTA, LLC
Federated MDTA, LLC (MDT) utilizes a quantitative process to score stocks based on earnings estimate momentum, long-term growth
rates, share buyback and issuance, cash earnings-to-price ratios, tangible book-to-price ratios and earnings risk. A decision-tree approach provides an intuitive, non-linear way to score companies. Stocks are grouped into clusters determined by
analyzing different combinations of factor scores and returns, with each cluster containing companies with a different pattern of fundamental characteristics. Optimization is then used to build a portfolio that maximizes the stock selection score,
while adhering to diversification constraints and trading costs. A position is sold or trimmed if the quantitative model identifies a more attractive opportunity (net of trading costs) or if a holding exceeds the maximum company weight of 1.3%. The
Portfolio typically holds between 100 and 110 stocks, with no position exceeding 1.3% of the Portfolio. Industry weights are limited to +/- 13.5% of the benchmark weight, while sector weights are limited to +/- 22.5% of the benchmark weight.
Lord, Abbett & Co., LLC
The team at Lord, Abbett & Co., LLC (Lord Abbett), led by Tom OHalloran, focuses its stock selection effort on
companies that have revenue growth of at least 15% and are experiencing year-to-year operating margin improvement and earnings growth driven by top-line growth, rather than being driven by one-time events or simple cost cutting measures. The focus
is also on identifying companies with higher-quality balance sheets (often captured by finding companies with manageable debt-to-total-capital ratios) and that are already profitable. Once this process is completed, the focus for the team is on
forecasting both revenue and earnings growth over the next several years. To achieve this goal and to find companies that will be growing considerably faster than their industry average, members of the team spend an extensive amount of time
understanding the competitive advantages of a firm, the industry dynamics within which they operate and the strength of management. A position is sold or trimmed if there is a fundamental change in the business, a more attractive alternative is
found, or if a holding reaches a 5% weight in the overall Portfolio. The portion of the Fund managed by Lord Abbett typically holds between 100 and 150 stocks with no individual holding exceeding 5%. Lord Abbett has established a risk constraint
that prevents any individual industry from being greater than 25% of the total weight of its portion of the Fund.
Ranger Investment Management, LLC
The team at Ranger Investment Management, L.P. (Ranger), led by Conrad Doenges, starts with a universe of stocks with
market capitalization between $100M and $2B, from which they establish a list of approximately 250 to 300 companies on which they conduct detailed research. Each Ranger sector manager builds detailed earnings and cash-flow models for the companies
they follow, and also qualitatively gauge, through a stock scoring model, their conviction level in each stock. Companies in the Funds portfolio managed by Ranger will typically have a high degree of recurring revenue, steady and/or
accelerating sales and earnings growth, solid balance sheets, strong free-cash flows, conservative accounting practices and a seasoned management team. The Portfolio typically contains 35 and 60 stocks, with individual position sizes capped at 5%.
Sector exposures are also limited to a maximum of 30%. A stock may be reduced or sold if material changes occur in the companys earnings estimates, the companys valuations exceed historical levels, a pre-determined price target is
achieved, the stock reaches the maximum position size of 5%, capitalization limit of $5 billion or it can be replaced with a better risk/reward opportunity.
Smith Asset Management Group, L.P.
Smith Asset Management Group, L.P.s (Smith Group) investment process is based on a combination of a well-conceived
quantitative screening process coupled with experienced, intelligent fundamental and qualitative analysis. The team is focused on predicting which attractively valued companies will report a succession of positive earnings surprises. The process
begins by seeking companies with attractive risk profiles and valuations, as well as dramatically improving business fundamentals. To manage risk, Smith screens for companies with good corporate governance, strong financial quality, attractive
valuation and moderate portfolio beta. To identify high-earnings-growth companies, Smith screens for rising earnings expectations, improving earnings quality, a high percentage of positive earnings surprise and high earnings growth rate. The
Funds portfolio managed by Smith will typically hold 100 to 120 stocks, with no individual position greater than 3.0%. Sector weightings are limited to no more than two times the weighting in the Russell 2000
®
Index. Stocks are sold from the Portfolio if a negative earnings surprise is predicted by the process or management guidance, a negative earnings surprise is actually reported, the stocks
valuation level is too high or a buyout announcement is made.
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Managers Special Equity Fund Service Class returned 45.06% and the Institutional Class returned
44.88%, both outperforming the 43.30% return of the Russell 2000
®
Growth Index.

Managers Special Equity Fund
Portfolio Managers
Comments
(continued)
U.S. equity markets posted robust returns for the year with S&P 500
®
Index recording its best year since 1997. Domestic markets overcame fears of the Federal Reserves taper of asset purchases, U.S. government partial shutdown, weak Emerging Market growth,
and another European bailout in Cyprus. The year started with a resolution to the fiscal cliff and improving U.S. economics, which contributed to early market gains. Despite ongoing U.S. deficit discussions and another European bank crisis in
Cyprus, equities marched higher during the first quarter.
Improving employment, recovering housing demand and healthy consumption boosted
the S&P 500
®
Index during the spring. Accommodative monetary policy in the U.S., Europe and Japan benefitted developed market equities globally throughout 2013; however, the Federal
Reserves hint of tapering asset purchases and Syria conflict concerns contributed to brief volatility during the summer. In the fourth quarter, equities rallied after the Fed surprisingly did not reduce its asset purchase programs, the partial
U.S. government shutdown was resolved, and the debt ceiling was raised. Near the end of the year, the S&P 500
®
Index reached new highs due to stronger U.S. GDP, improved employment, and
ongoing global monetary support from the U.S., Europe and Japan.
For the full calendar year, U.S. small-cap stocks lead both mid-cap and
large-cap equities as represented by the Russell 2000
®
, Russell Mid-Cap
®
and Russell
1000
®
Indices, respectively. Within the small-cap universe, the Russell 2000
®
Growth Index outpaced the Russell 2000
®
Value Index. All sectors within the Russell 2000
®
Index produced strong double digit returns lead by the health care, consumer staples,
consumer discretionary and information technology. The lower growth oriented utilities, materials, telecommunication services and energy sectors generated weaker results.
The Fund delivered strong absolute and relative performance as it outperformed the benchmark Russell 2000
®
Growth Index. The outperformance was primarily driven by relative strength within the Funds stock selection, which was particularly strong in the financials, consumer staples and health
sectors. Weak stock selection in the energy, consumer discretionary and materials sectors detracted from relative performance. Additionally, the Funds overweight in the materials sector, which is primarily a residual of the stock selection
process for each subadvisor, also contributed to outperformance. The Funds overweight to the financials sector and cash position detracted from relative performance.
At the subadvisor level, two subadvisors outperformed the benchmark (Russell 2000
®
Growth Index) led by significant outperformance from Lord, Abbett and Company, LLC (Lord Abbett), and a positive contribution from Federated MDT LLC (MDT). Smith Asset Management Group, L.P. (Smith) performed
in-line with the benchmark, while Ranger Investment Management, L.P. (Ranger) underperformed the benchmark. Lord Abbetts aggressive growth style benefitted from robust stock selection in the high-growth information technology and
health care sectors, partially offset by weak stock selection in the consumer staples sector. MDTs and Smiths quantitative processes produced strong stock selection within consumer staples and industrials, partially offset by weak stock
selection in information technology and materials. Rangers underperformance was primarily driven by weak stock selection in the information technology, health care and consumer discretionary sectors, partially offset by strong stock selection
in the financials sector.
LOOKING FORWARD
The team at Managers continues to spend considerable time evaluating the Fund and reaffirming our confidence in the subadvisors within the
Fund. This past year was our fourth calendar year with our existing group of subadvisors, all of whom maintain a growth bias. The Fund outperformed its benchmark this year and has now outperformed three of last four calendar years. We continue to
believe that the changes we made to the Fund subadvisor lineup in 2009 will to be beneficial to shareholders long term.
Heading into 2014,
the Fund has its largest exposures to more cyclically geared sectors as a healing economy provides this area of the market sufficient opportunities. Entering the year, the Funds greatest exposure is in information technology sector with nearly
23% of the Fund, albeit a slight underweight to the benchmark. The consumer discretionary sector is the Funds third largest absolute weighting and second largest overweight. Subadvisors are finding many opportunities in the health care sector
with approximately 19% of the Portfolio, but the Fund is underweight to the benchmark. The portfolio managers are cautiously optimistic about forward-looking prospects for small-cap equities. The portfolio managers believe that each of their
respective investment processes, focused on finding companies with solid growth prospects, have the potential to perform well if investors focus on company fundamentals and less so on uncertainties related to Federal Reserve policy or other macro
risks.
This commentary reflects the viewpoints of Federated MDTA, LLC., Lord, Abbett & Co., LLC, Ranger Investment Management,
L.P. and Smith Asset Management Group, L.P. as of December 31, 2013 and is not intended as a forecast or guarantee of future results.
Cumulative Total Return Performance
Managers Special Equity Funds cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all
distributions were reinvested. This chart compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Special Equity Fund Institutional Class on December 31, 2003, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 2000
®
Growth Index for the same time period. Performance for periods longer than one year is annualized. The graphs and tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a
Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Total returns would have been lower had certain
expenses not been reduced.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The Managers Funds (the
Trust) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number
of different Funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report is the Managers Special Equity Fund (Special Equity or the Fund).
Effective April 1, 2013, Managers Class shares were renamed Service Class shares. The Fund offers both Service Class shares and
Institutional Class shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may pay
different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value per share and/ or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each
share class.
The Funds financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (U.S. GAAP), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
a.
|
Valuation of Investments
|
Equity securities traded on a domestic securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S.
over-the-counter market are valued at the markets official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the
official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales
price. The Funds investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, evaluative or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees
of the Fund (the Board).
Short-term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of
issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.
Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value,
pursuant to procedures established by and under the general
supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make fair value determinations for such investments. The Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio
investment to calculate its net asset value (NAV) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio investment is not deemed to be readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the
Boards valuation procedures, if Managers Investment Group LLC (the Investment Manager) believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of
an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of
all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; and (iii) the value of other
comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent
amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the
values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with a quarterly report showing as of the most recent quarter end, all outstanding securities fair
valued by the Pricing Committee, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close
of their respective principal markets. Under certain circumstances, on behalf of a fund that invests primarily in international securities, the Investment Manager or applicable subadvisor may adjust such prices based on its determination of the
impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. The Board has also adopted a policy that securities held in a fund that invests primarily in international securities
and certain foreign debt obligations held by a fund, in each case, that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day without regard to a trigger (e.g., without regard to invoking
fair value based upon a change in a U.S. equity securities index exceeding a pre-determined level). The Fund may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of securities that are judged to be
stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the
inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that
are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair
valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own
assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs
or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with
investing in those investments.
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c.
|
Investment Income and Expenses
|
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends
included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds
in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund and certain Fund level
expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
The Fund had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture
program, which paid a portion of the Funds expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the amount by which the Funds expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratio, if any, was: $22,212 or 0.01%.
The Fund has a balance credit arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM), the Funds custodian, whereby
the Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custody
expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdraft fees are computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. Prior to January 1, 2013, the rate
was 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate. For the year ended December 31, 2013, overdraft fees for the Fund equaled $7.
The
Trust recently held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders were asked to approve a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy were treated as extraordinary expenses, and,
therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.
d.
|
Dividends and Distributions
|
Fund distributions resulting from either net
investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions
are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent
differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial
statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The most common differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to excise tax regulations and wash sales. Permanent book and tax
basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in-capital.
As of
December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings (excluding unrealized appreciation/depreciation) on a tax basis consisted of:

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on the Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign
jurisdictions in which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management
has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of December 31, 2013 and for all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required
in the Funds financial statements. Additionally, the Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010,
(post-enactment capital losses) may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the
close of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their
tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.

Capital Loss Carryovers and Deferrals
|
As of December 31, 2013, the Fund
had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from security transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration date
listed or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized capital loss carryovers in the amount of
$35,616,923.
The Trusts Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series
the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Fund in connection with the issuance of
shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation.
At
December 31, 2013, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows: two
collectively own 51%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements provided
that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by
the Funds custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund
may be delayed or limited. At December 31, 2013, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding was $15,775,505.

Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates
|
The Trust has entered into an
investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG), serves as investment manager to the Fund and is responsible for the Funds overall administration and
operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisors for the Fund (subject to Board approval) and monitors the subadvisors investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. The Funds investment portfolio
is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.

of the Fund.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2014, to waive management fees and/or
reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder
servicing fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 1.11% of the Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances.
The Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the
repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to
exceed the Funds contractual expense limitation amount. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds components of reimbursement available are detailed in the following chart:

The Fund has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment
Manager serves as the Funds administrator (the Administrator) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds operations, including administration and shareholder services to the Fund, its shareholders, and certain
institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds shareholders. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.25% per annum of
the Funds average daily net assets for this service.
The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board
is $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional
payment of $10,000 per year. The Trustees fees and expenses are allocated among all of the funds in the Trusts for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the Managers Funds) based on the relative net assets of such
Funds. The Trustees fees and expenses shown in the financial statements represents each Funds allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds.
Prior to January 1, 2013, the annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $80,000, plus $5,000 or $2,500 for each
regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trust formerly received an additional payment of $20,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $8,000 per year.
The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor or MDI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of the Fund will be continuously offered
and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with MDI. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally MDI bears all or a
portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and
Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
For the Service Class shares,
the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses incurred (shareholder servicing fees). Shareholder servicing fees include payments to third parties such as
a bank, broker-dealer, trust company or other financial intermediaries who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Service Class shares may reimburse the
Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the Classs average daily net assets as shown in the table below.
The impact on the annualized expense ratio for the year ended December 31, 2013, was as follows:

During the period, the Service Class of the Managers Special Equity Fund recorded a capital contribution by

The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Fund to lend and borrow money for certain temporary
purposes directly to and from other eligible Managers Funds. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending Funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The Investment
Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure
fairness and protect all participating Funds. The Fund lent varying amounts not exceeding $2,064,237, for four days receiving interest of $116. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. At December 31,
2013, the Fund had no loans outstanding.

Purchases and Sales of Securities
|
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding
short-term securities and U.S. Government obligations) for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $286,042,278 and $311,967,596, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations for the Fund.

Portfolio Securities Loaned
|
The Fund participates in a securities lending
program offered by BNYM (the Program), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings
(after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105%
in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value,
plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business
day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that
the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Fund is indemnified for such losses by
BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of cash collateral available for return
to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.

|
Commitments and Contingencies
|
Under the Trusts organizational documents,
its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety
of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
However based on experience, the Fund has had no prior claims or losses and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
6.
|
Master Netting Agreements
|
The Fund may enter into master netting agreements with
its counterparties for the securities lending program and repurchase agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net
exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. The following table is a summary of the Funds open securities lending, repurchase agreements and derivatives which are subject to a master netting agreement as of December 31, 2013:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The Managers Funds
and the Shareholders of Managers Special Equity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of
portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Managers Special Equity Fund (the Fund) at
December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the
Managers Family of Funds. Such offering is made only by Prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder:
Thank you for your investment in The
Managers Funds. Our foremost goal at Managers Investment Group (MIG) is to provide investment products and solutions that help our shareholders and clients successfully reach their investment goals and objectives. We do this by offering
a broad selection of Funds managed by a collection of Affiliated Managers Groups (AMG) Affiliate investment boutiques, along with a complementary series of open-architecture mutual funds.
The past year has been an exciting one for us at MIG. We were pleased to welcome the Brandywine Funds into the Managers Fund Family several months ago. We are
excited to begin this new chapter in the 27-year history of the Brandywine Funds, while maintaining shareholders access to the same investment process that has guided the Brandywine Funds since their inception using the research-driven
investment approach of Friess Associates.
We announced effective November 1, 2013, that the GW&K Small Cap Equity Fund would be closed to new
investors with certain limited exceptions. The team at GW&K manages a total of $2.5 billion (as of December 31, 2013) in small-capitalization equities and closing the Fund to new investors allows the team to continue to execute on the
investment process that has been effective for more than a decade. We also announced effective December 31, 2013, that Yacktman Fund and Yacktman Focused Fund will be closed to new investors with certain limited exceptions. The team at Yacktman
Asset Management manages over $30 billion in U.S. equities and closing these Funds to new investors allows the team to continue to execute on the investment process that has been effective for more than two decades. We will continue to make
decisions such as these that we believe are in the best interest of our shareholders.
Risky assets did well in 2013, with U.S. equity markets surpassing
all-time highs. Ongoing global monetary easing, a low-yield environment, and healthy U.S. economic growth are supporting investor appetite for risk assets. Despite improving investor sentiment, risks remain, including uncertainty surrounding the
Feds eventual exit from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy, ongoing fiscal headwinds in the U.S. and slower growth in Emerging Markets. Nevertheless, we are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the upcoming year and we are
confident that our Funds are well positioned to weather an uncertain economic environment.
We thank you for your continued confidence and investment in
The Managers Funds. You can rest assured that under all market conditions our team is focused on delivering excellent investment management services for your benefit.
|
Respectfully,
|
|
|

About Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which
may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand
your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as
indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in
this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the
number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the
Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports
of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any
transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different
funds.

Managers Bond Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments
The Year in Review
The Managers Bond Fund Service Class returned 1.06% for the year ended December 31, 2013, beating the Barclays U.S. Government/
Credit Index, which returned (2.35)%.
During the year, the Fund delivered solid relative performance versus the benchmark. At the
beginning of 2013, the Fund solidly outperformed the benchmark with strong performance due to exposure to investment grade corporates and out-of-benchmark allocations, with high yield, convertible securities and select credits within our
non-U.S. Dollar denominated holdings providing the bulk of excess returns. In the first three months of 2013, despite appreciation of the U.S. Dollar, individual currencies rallied on the stream of good news from the United States.
The second quarter was the only quarter the Fund underperformed during the year. During that time, credit markets struggled as details
concerning the potential tapering of the U.S. Feds asset purchasing program prompted investor fears of interest rates rising sooner rather than later. Macroeconomic indicators, led by those pertaining to the domestic housing market, were
largely positive, underscoring the potential for upside risks associated with the U.S. recovery. Concurrently, slower growth in China spurred turbulence in the emerging markets and commodity currencies. The majority of the Funds dour showing
during this time was due to the Funds exposure to investment grade financials and non-U.S. Dollar denominated issues.
The
Fund did, however, generate positive returns in the third quarter with strong showings in July and September being tempered by resurgent volatility in the credit markets throughout August. Outperformance was generally due to holdings of convertible
securities and non-USD denominated debt in the Portfolio. Strong showings by individual convertible names allowed the sector to contribute positively to returns during time.
The Fund also put forth positive returns in the fourth quarter with a strong showing in October and modestly positive contributions in
December being tempered by resurgent volatility in the credit markets throughout November. The U.S. Fed announced in their December meeting that the pace of purchases made as part of their quantitative easing program would be slowed beginning in
January of 2014. U.S. macroeconomic indicators, specifically those pertaining to the housing market, were largely positive during the final quarter, bolstering sections of the credit markets in the bookend months as it appeared that the domestic
recovery continued to progress. Strong showings by individual convertible names allowed the sector to contribute positively to returns towards the end of the year. A considerable rally in the stock market during much of the fourth quarter,
specifically in the latter half of December, also served to buoy equity sensitive issues. High Yield produced positive returns during this time as investors continued to parse through higher beta assets in their search for yield.
LOOKING FORWARD
After months of
anxiety among investors, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) took a first step toward exiting its third quantitative easing (QE) program. However, the Fed has made it clear that the federal funds target rate will remain at zero long after tapering is
complete. This forward guidance has become the tool of choice, a policy shift that will be reinforced by incoming Fed Chair, Janet Yellen. Investors have now had months to prepare for a reduction in QE, and when tapering was announced in December
(earlier than many had expected), markets barely took notice. Importantly, the U.S. economy appears to be approaching escape velocity. So, a gradual
removal of excessive monetary stimulus ought to be welcome news, and the fourth quarters well-behaved bond market supports that case. Government bonds suffered minor losses as yields rose
incrementally, while corporate credit performed well. In fact, both U.S. and European credit spreads tightened to levels not seen since 2007. Even emerging market sovereign credit had a relatively decent fourth quarter, but the asset class was still
negative for the year and a notable outlier among the credit sectors.
In 2013, the end of household deleveraging was a significant
turning point for the U.S. economy. Aggregate household liabilities rose for the first time since 2009, and there are early signs that consumer spending is making a comeback. As equity prices and home values rebounded, it was only a matter of time
before household net worth was restored and the wealth effect kicked in, causing consumers to borrow and spend. And with most of the fiscal drag from the sequester behind us, the U.S. now appears to be poised for stronger growth, more than at any
other time since the Great Recession.
Japan has continued to pull itself out of deflation, but Abenomics appears, at least
initially, to be incrementally successful. However, wage growth and labor market reforms will need to materialize before Japan can achieve its escape velocity. In Europe, multiple signs of a sustainable (albeit muted) recovery have been emerging.
Ireland successfully exited its sovereign bailout program, unemployment rates in the peripheral economies have stopped rising or have begun to fall, and industrial activity seems to be picking up across the region on the back of solid export growth.
Improving global growth, low inflation and still highly accommodative monetary policy created a positive environment for global credit, especially high yield and equity-linked assets, in 2013.
Overall, we expect fixed income returns to be lackluster in 2014. There is not much juice left to squeeze from corporate credit markets where
spreads are currently razor thin. However, high yield and floating-rate products, such as bank loans, are likely to repeat 2013s strong performance. As a consequence of the U.S. leading a global economic acceleration in 2013, U.S. Treasurys
were the worst performing developed government bond market for the year. We expect government bonds will be flat in 2014, if not slightly negative, and non-U.S. government bonds, especially those in peripheral Europe, should outperform U.S.
Treasurys. Emerging market (EM) sovereigns could make a comeback in 2014. The discount of EM sovereigns to corporate credit is presently at a four-year high. But, investors will need to be selective in this space, since many developing countries
have experienced deteriorating fundamentals as a result of sliding commodity prices.
We believe the key risk going into 2014 is the
upside growth scenario. Should the economy gallop ahead too quickly and inflation move higher, the markets will test the Feds forward guidance, and we could see a repeat of last summers bond market rout. Otherwise, in an
environment of stronger global growth and dovish central bank policy, risk assets should perform well.

Cumulative Total Return Performance
Managers Bond Funds cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all distributions
were reinvested. This chart compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the Managers Bond Fund Service Class on December 31, 2003, to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index for the same time period.
Performance for periods longer than one year is annualized. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net expenses and
the returns for the index exclude expenses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.
The table below shows the average annual total returns for the Managers Bond Fund and the Barclays U.S.
Government/Credit Bond Index for the same time periods ended December 31, 2013.

Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the
Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and
based on the published NAV as of December 31, 2013. All returns are in U.S. dollars($).

From time to time, the Funds advisor has waived fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns.

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors 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.
|

|
Investments in international securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions, which could result in significant market
fluctuations. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
|

|
High yield bonds (also known as junk bonds) are subject to additional risks such as the risk of default.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The Managers Funds (the
Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of
different Funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report is the Managers Bond Fund (the Fund).
The Fund offers two classes of shares: Service Class (formerly shares of the Funds sole class, which were reclassified and redesignated
as Service Class shares on April 1, 2013) and Institutional Class (which commenced operations on April 1, 2013). Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting
rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may pay different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value per share and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own
expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
The Funds financial
statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such
differences may be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

Valuation of Investments
|
Equity securities traded on a domestic securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S.
over-the-counter market are valued at the markets official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the
official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales
price. The Funds investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, evaluative or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees
of the Fund (the Board).
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services
that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Debt obligations (other than short term debt obligations that have 60 days or less
remaining until maturity) will be valued using the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an authorized
pricing service. Short term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at
amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities market are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities
and various relationships between such securities and yield to maturity in determining value.
Under certain circumstances, the value of
certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make
fair value determinations for such investments. The Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio investment to calculate its net asset value (NAV) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio
investment is not deemed to be readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Boards valuation procedures, if Managers Investment Group LLC (the Investment Manager) believes the quotation, price or market based
valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that
investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental
analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; and (iii) the value of other comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might
ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would
have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. Board will be presented with a quarterly report showing as of the most recent quarter end, all outstanding securities fair valued by the Pricing
Committee, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close
of their respective principal markets. Under certain circumstances, on behalf of a fund that invests primarily in international securities, the Investment Manager or applicable subadvisor may adjust such prices based on its determination of the
impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. The Board has also adopted a policy that securities held in a fund that
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
invests primarily in international securities and certain foreign debt obligations held by a fund, in each case, that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair
valued on each business day without regard to a trigger (e.g., without regard to invoking fair value based upon a change in a U.S. equity securities index exceeding a pre-determined level). The Fund may invest in securities that may be
thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of securities that are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available
market quotations.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the
valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that
are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities,
prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value
pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable
inputs (including the Funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Investment Income and Expenses
|
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends
included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds
in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund and certain Fund level
expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.
The Fund has a balance credit agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM), the Funds custodian, whereby
the Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective
90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested
overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds custodian expense was
not reduced.
Overdraft fees are computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. Prior to
January 1, 2013, the rate was 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate. For the year ended December 31, 2013, overdraft fees for the Fund equaled $117.
The Trust recently held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders were asked to approve a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among
other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy statement are being treated as extraordinary expenses, and, therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.

|
Dividends and Distributions
|
Fund distributions resulting from either net
investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions
are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent
differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial
statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The most common differences are due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to wash sales, foreign currency and market discount transactions. Permanent
book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies.
Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on
the Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of December 31, 2013 and for all open tax
years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. Additionally, the Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Net capital losses
incurred in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, post-enactment capital losses may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized
prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the close of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers
may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.
f.
|
Capital Loss Carryovers and Deferrals
|
As of December 31, 2013, the Fund
had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for Federal income tax purposes. Should the Fund incur net capital
losses for the year ended December 31, 2014, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized capital loss carryovers in the amount of $18,212,480.
The Trusts Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series
the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Fund in connection with the issuance of
shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation.
At
December 31, 2013, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows: two collectively own 59%. Transactions by these
shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements provided
that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by
the Funds custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund
may be delayed or limited. At December 31, 2013, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding was $27,945,949.
i.
|
Foreign Currency Translation
|
The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and
expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains
and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from
the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Fund does not isolate the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
The Fund invests in securities of foreign entities and in
instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Non-domestic
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
securities carry special risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing
auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at
the Fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Fund would pay such foreign taxes at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
2.
|
Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates
|
The Trust has entered into an
investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG), serves as investment manager to the Fund and is responsible for the Funds overall administration and
operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisors for the Fund (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisors investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. The Funds investment portfolio
is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.
Investment
management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund paid an investment management fee at the annual rate of 0.625% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund.
Effective April 1, 2013, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2014, to
waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody
overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.89% of the Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund
in certain circumstances.
Prior to April 1, 2013, the Investment Manager agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund
expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), brokerage commissions and other
transactions costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.99% of the Funds average daily net assets.
The Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment
occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed the
Funds expense contractual expense limitation amount. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds components of reimbursement available are detailed in the following chart:

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder
servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Fund may have made in JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund, Capital Shares. For the year ended December 31, 2013,
the management fee was reduced by $4,636.
The Fund has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which
the Investment Manager serves as the Funds administrator (the Administrator) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds operations, including administration and shareholder services to the Fund, its
shareholders, and certain institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds shareholders. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate
of 0.25% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets for this service.
The aggregate annual retainer paid to each
Independent Trustee of the Board is $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit
Committee receives an additional payment of $10,000 per year. The Trustees fees and expenses are allocated among all of the funds in the Trusts for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the Managers Funds) based on
the relative net assets of such Funds. The Trustees fees and expenses shown in the financial statements represents each Funds allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds.
Prior to January 1, 2013, the annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $80,000, plus $5,000 or $2,500 for each
regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trust formerly received an additional payment of $20,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional payment of $8,000 per year.
The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor or MDI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Investment Manager. MDI serves as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of the Fund will be continuously offered and
will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with MDI. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally MDI bears all or a
portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
For the Service Class shares, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses
incurred (shareholder servicing fees). Shareholder servicing fees include payments to third parties such as a bank, broker-dealer, trust company or other financial intermediaries who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing
and other services. The Service Class shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the Classs average daily net asset value as shown in the table below.

The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Fund to lend and borrow
money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible Managers Funds. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each
participating fund. The Investment Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive
order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating funds. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund lent varying amounts not exceeding $3,938,937, for two days earning interest of $95. The interest amount is
included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. At December 31, 2013, the Fund had no loans outstanding.
3.
|
Purchases and Sales of Securities
|
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding
short-term securities and U.S. Government obligations) for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $308,807,299 and $340,081,390, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government obligations for the year ended December 31, 2013, were
$110,560,117 and $131,073,935, respectively.
4.
|
Portfolio Securities Loaned
|
The Fund participates in a securities lending
program offered by BNYM (the Program), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings
(after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105%
in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the
next business day, following the
valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to
the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Fund is
indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the
cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
5.
|
Commitments and Contingencies
|
Under the Trusts organizational documents,
its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety
of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
However, based on experience, the Fund had no prior claims or losses and expects the risks of loss to be remote.
6.
|
Risks Associated with High Yield Securities
|
Investing in high yield securities
involves greater risks and considerations not typically associated with U.S. Government and other high quality/investment grade securities. High Yield securities are generally below investment grade securities and do not have an established retail
secondary market. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the issuers ability to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations and
could cause the securities to become less liquid.
Certain transactions, such as futures and forward
transactions, dollar roll agreements, or purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Fund net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. However, if the Fund enters into
such a transaction, the Fund will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities equal in value to its obligations in respect to such transaction. Securities
and other assets held in the segregated account may not be sold while the transaction is outstanding, unless other suitable assets are substituted.
8.
|
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
|
During the year ended December 31,
2013, the Fund invested in forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. As of December 31,
2013, the Fund held no open forward foreign currency contracts.
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between a fund and
another party to buy or sell a currency at a set price at a future
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates.
The contract is marked-to-market daily, and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gain or loss on the purchase or sale of contracts having the same settlement date, amount and counterparty is realized on the
date of offset, otherwise gain or loss is realized on the settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of
their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
9.
|
Master Netting Agreements
|
The Fund may enter into master netting agreements with
its counterparties for the securities lending program and repurchase agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net
exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. The following table is a summary of the Funds open securities lending and repurchase agreements which are subject to a master netting agreement as of December 31, 2013:

On January 21, 2014, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc., a
global asset management company, announced that the Funds Investment Manager and Administrator, Managers Investment Group LLC, will be rebranded as AMG Funds LLC. The rebranding is expected to become effective during the second quarter of 2014
once the appropriate regulatory filings have taken place.
The Fund has determined that no other material events or transactions occurred
through the issuance date of the Funds financial statements, which require additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The Managers Funds
and the Shareholders of Managers Bond Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio
investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Managers Bond Fund (the Fund) at December 31, 2013,
and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholder:
Thank you for your investment in The
Managers Funds. Our foremost goal at Managers Investment Group (MIG) is to provide investment products and solutions that help our shareholders and clients successfully reach their investment goals and objectives. We do this by offering
a broad selection of Funds managed by a collection of Affiliated Managers Groups (AMG) Affiliate investment boutiques, along with a complementary series of open-architecture mutual funds.
The past year has been an exciting one for us at MIG. We were pleased to welcome the Brandywine Funds into the Managers Fund Family several months ago. We are
excited to begin this new chapter in the 27-year history of the Brandywine Funds, while maintaining shareholders access to the same investment process that has guided the Brandywine Funds since their inception using the research-driven
investment approach of Friess Associates.
We announced effective November 1, 2013, that the GW&K Small Cap Equity Fund would be closed to new
investors with certain limited exceptions. The team at GW&K manages a total of $2.5 billion (as of December 31, 2013) in small-capitalization equities and closing the Fund to new investors allows the team to continue to execute on the
investment process that has been effective for more than a decade. We also announced effective December 31, 2013, that Yacktman Fund and Yacktman Focused Fund will be closed to new investors with certain limited exceptions. The team at Yacktman
Asset Management manages over $30 billion in U.S. equities and closing these Funds to new investors allows the team to continue to execute on the investment process that has been effective for more than two decades. We will continue to make
decisions such as these that we believe are in the best interest of our shareholders.
Risky assets did well in 2013, with U.S. equity markets surpassing
all-time highs. Ongoing global monetary easing, a low-yield environment, and healthy U.S. economic growth are supporting investor appetite for risk assets. Despite improving investor sentiment, risks remain, including uncertainty surrounding the
Feds eventual exit from its ultra-accommodative monetary policy, ongoing fiscal headwinds in the U.S. and slower growth in Emerging Markets. Nevertheless, we are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for the upcoming year and we are
confident that our Funds are well positioned to weather an uncertain economic environment.
We thank you for your continued confidence and investment in
The Managers Funds. You can rest assured that under all market conditions our team is focused on delivering excellent investment management services for your benefit.
|
Respectfully,
|
|
|
Keitha Kinne

About Your Funds Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which
may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand
your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as
indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in
this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the
number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the
Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports
of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any
transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different
funds.

Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments
THE YEAR IN REVIEW
Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund returned (1.40)% during the year ended December 31, 2013, outperforming the (2.60)% return for
the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index.
Although the Fund had negative absolute returns for the year, it outperformed its
benchmark during 2013. At the beginning of the year, security selection was a strong source of excess return. Issue selection across the U.S. and European corporate sector proved quite positive, along with select sovereign names. Investment grade
credit spreads were largely mixed during the first three months of the year while high yield credit spreads tightened. As a result, off-benchmark positioning in high yield bonds proved favorable and aided absolute and relative performance. Our picks
in Mexican sovereign bonds were particularly additive to excess return then as well while sector allocation was another contributor to relative performance thanks in part to our overweight position in corporate bonds.
In the second quarter, however, there was a reversal of many of these trends. Security selection detracted from relative performance with
preferences in the industrial sector having a slightly negative impact on returns. Additionally, an underweight to securities issued in the strong performing European periphery and overweight to emerging markets sovereign issuers, combined to weigh
on excess returns. During the Spring months, Fed comments, along with tightening of liquidity in China, weighed heavily on emerging market assets while concerns about Europes many unresolved issues was of little impact on performance in the
European periphery. Sector allocation also negatively impacted performance during this time.
The September Federal Open Market Committee
meeting took investors by surprise. Markets across the globe expected some form of Quantitative Easing (QE) tapering, which was not the outcome. Policy rates did not change, nor did the parameters surrounding forward guidance. Within the
Fund during this time, security selection continued to have a negative impact on performance, with issue preferences in Brazilian and U.S. government bonds coupled with overweight to select U.S. corporates serving as the main detractor to
performance. Sector allocation also continued to have a negative impact on relative performance during this time.
Towards the end of
2013, markets were heavily influenced by central bank intervention. Nowhere was this more true than in the U.S. where the Fed announced that it would begin to taper its bond buying in 2014. This decision was made following better employment trends
and solid stock market performance. Markets handled the Feds plans fairly well and the 10-year Treasury benchmark rate ended the year near 3.0%. During this time, security selection within the Fund bounced back and was a strong source of
excess return mainly due to issue selection in the Industrial sector and Government related bonds. Sector allocation also turned around from prior quarters and had a positive impact on performance as the Funds overweight to corporate sectors
and underweight to selection government and government sectors were positive.
LOOKING FORWARD
As noted above, we are beginning the year with 10-year U.S. treasury yields near 3.0%. This is the bottom end of our fair value range of
3.0%-3.5%, so we are somewhat less worried about duration risk than we have been in quite some time. We do not think that 10-year yields need to reach the 3.6% level that they reached in 2011 to be fair value, as forward expectations for both real
and nominal U.S. GDP growth have fallen.
The case for U.S. growth to finally exceed 2.5% is reasonably strong, given recently solid
payroll employment growth and prospects for much less fiscal drag than the economy suffered last year. Unemployment rates should continue dropping, but we see no immediate risk of more hawkish Federal Reserve forward guidance. The beginning of the
exit from QE was announced in December, and was well tolerated by the markets. Most significantly, the bond yield back-up was not accompanied by revised Fed Funds forwards. The first hike is still expected sometime in 2015.
Global PMIs are mostly trending higher as well, in line with revived Euro Zone and U.K. economic indicators. We are retaining our
modest Euro underweight, despite it not having worked in 2013. The bull case for the Euro is the structural current account surplus for the region, falling inflation, and a declining monetary base as LTROs are paid back and not renewed. The
bear case is the growth and yield differentials with the U.S. The yield differential is largest at longer maturities which historically have had less effect on forex markets, but these are expected to gradually work their way down the maturity curve
as 201 draws nearer.
Just as we have become more relaxed about duration risk, we are getting less relaxed about credit risk. Investment
grade spreads are starting the year at 112 basis points, the tightest since 2007. Companies are expected to be increasingly shareholder friendly. The trick is to buy bonds after deals, not before they are announced. As this is not
entirely possible in credit mandates, we are emphasizing issuer diversification. Emerging market dollar pay credit, particularly in BBBs, still looks like good value with minimal M&A event risk.
In sum, we are beginning the year with some continuities in our strategy, notably an overweight bias to the U.S. Dollar, but also with
differences, notably greater credit concerns and less duration anxiety.
This commentary reflects the viewpoints of the portfolio
manager, Loomis, Sayles & Company, as of December 31, 2013 and is not intended as a forecast or guarantee of future results.

Cumulative Total Return Performance
Managers Global Income Opportunity Funds cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that
all distributions were reinvested. This graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund on December 31, 2003, to a $10,000 investment made in the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index for the same
time period. Performance for periods longer than one year is annualized. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net
of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.
The table below shows the average annual total returns for the Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund
and the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index for the same time periods ended December 31, 2013.

Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the
Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and
based on the published NAV as of December 31, 2013. All returns are in U.S. dollars($).

From time to time the Funds advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns.
|

|
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors ability to pay its creditors.
|
4
|
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.
|
5
|
Investments in foreign securities are subject to additional risks such as changing market conditions, economic and political instability, and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
|
6
|
The Fund may invest in below investment grade debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as junk bond or high yield securities) which may be subject to
greater levels of interest rate, credit and liquidity risk.
|
7
|
The Fund is subject to currency risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates that may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. Dollar security when converted back to U.S. Dollars.

The Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. The three major components of this index are the U.S. Aggregate, the Pan-European Aggregate,
and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The Index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities, and USD investment-grade 144A securities. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays Global Aggregate
Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur fees.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The Managers Funds (the
Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of
different Funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report is the Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund (the Fund). The Fund will deduct a 1.00% redemption fee from
the proceeds of any redemption (including a redemption by exchange) of shares if the redemption occurs within 60 days of the purchase of those shares. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had redemption fees amounting to $4,488.
The Funds financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the
preparation of its financial statements:
a.
|
Valuation of Investments
|
Equity securities traded on a domestic securities
exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S.
over-the-counter market are valued at the markets official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the
official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales
price. The Funds investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, evaluative or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees
of the Fund (the Board).
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services
that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Debt obligations (other than short term debt obligations that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity) will be valued using the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an
authorized pricing service. Short term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other open-end
regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and
stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities market are valued on the basis of
valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities and various relationships between such securities and yield to maturity in determining value.
Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value,
pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make fair value determinations for such investments. The Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio
investment to calculate its net asset value (NAV) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio investment is not deemed to be readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the
Boards valuation procedures, if Managers Investment Group LLC (the Investment Manager) believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of
an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of
all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; and (iii) the value of other
comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent
amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the
values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with a quarterly report showing as of the most recent quarter end, all outstanding securities fair
valued by the Pricing Committee, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close
of their respective principal markets. Under certain circumstances, on behalf of a fund that invests primarily in international securities, the Investment Manager or applicable subadvisor may adjust such prices based on its determination of the
impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which the Fund calculates its NAV. The Board has also adopted a policy that securities held in a fund that invests primarily in international securities
and certain foreign debt obligations held by a fund, in each case, that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day without regard to a trigger (e.g., without regard to invoking
fair value based upon a change in a U.S. equity securities index exceeding a pre-determined level). The Fund may invest in
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of securities that are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the
basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the
price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level
hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the
inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies,
futures contracts, options contracts)
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates,
yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign
securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c.
|
Investment Income and Expenses
|
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as
earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.
Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.
This Fund has a balance credit arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM), the Funds custodian,
whereby the Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce
custody expenses that would otherwise be charged to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdraft fees are computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. Prior to January 1, 2013, the rate
was 2% above the effective Federal Funds rate. For the year ended December 31, 2013, overdraft fees for the Fund equaled $102.
The
Trust recently held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders were asked to approve a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy were treated as extraordinary expenses, and,
therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.
d.
|
Dividends and Distributions
|
Fund distributions resulting from either net
investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions
are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent
differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial
statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The most common differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to excise tax regulations, wash sales, foreign currency, futures and
market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies.
Therefore, no provision for Federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on
the Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of December 31, 2013 and for all open tax
years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. Additionally, the Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Net capital losses
incurred in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (post-enactment capital losses) may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized
prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the close of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers
may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.

Capital Loss Carryovers and Deferrals
|
As of December 31, 2013, the Fund
had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from security transactions for Federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates
listed, or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized capital loss carryovers in the amount of
$481,359.
The Trusts Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series
the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Fund in connection with the issuance of
shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation.
At
December 31, 2013, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows: three collectively own 77%. Transactions by these
shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements provided
that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by
the Funds custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund
may be delayed or limited. At December 31, 2013, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding was $487,076.

Foreign Currency Translation
|
The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. The values of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and
expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains
and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from
the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Fund does not isolate the net
realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
The Fund invests in securities of foreign entities and in
instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Non-domestic securities carry special risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less
efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The
Fund would pay such foreign taxes at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.

Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates
|
The Trust has entered into an
investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG), serves as investment manager to the Fund and is responsible for the Funds overall administration and
operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisors for the Fund (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisors investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. The Funds investment portfolio
is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.
Investment
management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund paid an investment management fee at the annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net
assets of the Fund.
Effective July 1, 2013, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed through at least May 1, 2015, to
waive management fees and/ or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody
overdrafts), brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.89% of Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances.
Prior to July 1, 2013, the Investment Manager agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total
annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), brokerage commissions and other transactions costs, acquired fund
fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.99% of the Funds average daily net assets.
For the period January 1,
2013, through June 30, 2013, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to retroactively waive additional expenses to limit the Funds total operating expenses to 0.89% of average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2013,
the amount waived is $19,527 or 0.05%.
The Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in
future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver
or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed the
Funds contractual expense limitation amount. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds components of reimbursement available are detailed in the following chart:

The Fund has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment
Manager serves as the Funds administrator (the Administrator) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds operations, including administration and shareholder services to the Fund, its shareholders, and certain
institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds shareholders. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20% per annum of
the Funds average daily net assets for this service.
The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board
is $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional
payment of $10,000 per year. The Trustees fees and expenses are allocated among all of the funds in the Trusts for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor (the Managers Funds) based on the relative net assets of such
Funds. The Trustees fees and expenses shown in the financial statements represents each Funds allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the Managers Funds.
Prior to January 1, 2013, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $80,000, plus $5,000 or $2,500
for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trust formerly received an additional payment of $20,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $8,000 per
year.
The Fund is distributed by Managers Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor or MDI), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Investment Manager. MDI serves as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of the Fund will be continuously
offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with MDI. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally MDI bears
all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Fund to lend and borrow money for certain temporary
purposes directly to and from other eligible Managers Funds. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The Investment
Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure
fairness and protect all participating Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund neither borrowed from nor lent to other Managers Funds.

Purchases and Sales of Securities
|
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding
short-term securities and U.S. Government obligations) for the year ended December 31, 2013, were $24,524,812 and $11,638,493, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government obligations for the year ended December 31, 2013, were
$6,109,745 and $4,403,782, respectively.
4.
|
Portfolio Securities Loaned
|
The Fund participates in a securities lending
program offered by BNYM (the Program), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings
(after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105%
in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the
next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to
the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Fund is indemnified for
such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral
available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
Under the Trusts organizational documents,
its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety
of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have
not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund has had no prior claims or losses and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Certain transactions, such as futures and forward
transactions, dollar roll agreements, or purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. However, if the Fund
enters into such a transaction, the Fund will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities equal in value to its obligations in respect to such transaction.
Securities and other assets held in the segregated account may not be sold while the transaction is outstanding, unless other suitable assets are substituted.

and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, the credit risk and how derivative instruments affect the Funds financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statement

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
|
During the year ended December 31,
2013, the Fund invested in forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities.
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between a fund and another party to buy or sell a currency at a set price at a future
date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily, and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gain or loss on the purchase or sale of
contracts having the same settlement date, amount and counterparty is realized on the date of offset, otherwise gain or loss is realized on the settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
The Fund entered into futures contracts to achieve a desired
level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital shares transactions. There are certain risks associated with futures contracts. Prices may not move as expected or the Fund may not be able to close out the
contract when it desires to do so, resulting in losses.
On entering into a futures contract, either cash or securities in an amount equal
to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin) must be deposited with the futures broker. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received each day. The variation margin payments equal the daily changes in the contract
value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. For OTC futures, daily variation margin is not required. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires equal to the difference between the value of the
contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in
the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as
realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
10.
|
Master Netting Agreements
|
The Fund may enter into master netting agreements with
its counterparties for the securities lending program and repurchase agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net
exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. The following tables are a summary of the Funds open securities lending, repurchase agreements and derivatives which are subject to a master netting agreement as of December 31, 2013:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of The Managers Funds
and the Shareholders of Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the
schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund (the
Fund) at December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as financial statements) are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
|
The aggregate fees billed by the Funds independent registered public accounting
firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), to the Funds for the Funds two most recent fiscal years for professional services rendered for audits of annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided in connection with
statutory and regulatory filings or engagements (Audit Fees) were as follows:

There were no fees billed by PwC to the Funds in its two recent fiscal years
for services rendered for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Funds financial statements, but are not reported as Audit Fees (Audit-Related Fees).
For the Funds two most recent fiscal years, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC for engagements related directly to the operations and
financial reporting of one or more Funds by a Fund Service Provider. A Fund Service Provider is (a) any investment adviser to the Fund (not including any Subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or
overseen by another investment adviser) or (b) any entity that provides ongoing services to the Fund and is controlling, controlled by or under common control with a Fund investment adviser described in (a).
The aggregate fees billed by PwC to the Funds for the two most recent fiscal years for
professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning (Tax Fees) were as follows:

For the Funds two most recent fiscal years, Tax Fees billed by PwC for engagements by Fund Service Providers that
related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $0 for fiscal 2013 and $0 for fiscal 2012, respectively.
The services for
which Tax Fees were charged comprise all services performed by professional staff in PwCs tax division except those services related to the audit. Typically, this category would include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.
Tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services include preparation of original and amended tax returns, claims for refund and tax payment-planning services, assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and
acquisitions and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.
There were no other fees billed by PwC to the Funds for all other non-audit
services (Other Fees) during the Funds two most recent fiscal years. During the same period, there were no Other Fees billed by PwC for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial
reporting of the Funds.
(e) (1) According to policies adopted by the Audit Committee, services provided by PwC to the Funds must be pre-approved by
the Audit Committee. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves various types of services that PwC may perform for the Funds without specific approval of each engagement, subject to specified budget limitations. As contemplated
by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, the Audit Committee also pre-approves non-audit services provided by PwC to any Fund Service Provider for any engagement that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the
Funds. Any engagement that is not already pre-approved or that will exceed a pre-approved budget must be submitted to the Audit Committee for pre-approval. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is authorized on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the
Audit Committee to approve the engagement of PwC to perform non-audit services subject to certain conditions, including notification to the Audit Committee of such pre-approval not later than the next meeting of the Audit Committee following the
date of such pre-approval.
(e) (2) None.
(f) Not
applicable.
(g) The aggregate fees billed by PwC in 2013 and 2012 for non-audit services rendered to the Funds and Fund
Service Providers were $90,545 and $91,000, respectively. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $66,000 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for
non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $66,000 in fees
billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
(h) The
Trusts Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by registrants independent registered public accounting firm to the registrants investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled, or under
common control with the investment advisor that provided ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant) was
compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.
