Fund Focus

Managers AMG Essex Small/Micro Cap Growth Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in common and preferred stocks of small-capitalization U.S. companies. Essex considers a company to be a small-capitalization company if, at the time of purchase, its market capitalization is less than or equal to the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Russell 2000^® Growth Index. These companies (when initially purchased) typically have market capitalizations that place them among the smallest 5% of companies listed on the U.S. exchanges or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. In addition, the Fund may also invest in foreign securities, primarily in the form of American Depository Receipts.

Where This Fund May Fit As Part Of Your Asset Allocation

The Managers AMG Essex Growth Fund may be appropriate for your overall investment allocation if you are:

Looking to gain exposure to small- and micro-cap companies
Diversifying equity investments that may primarily be held in larger-cap companies
Seeking exposure to growth-oriented investments
Willing to accept short-term volatility of returns

Disclosure

Investors should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or download a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.

The performance shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. From time to time the advisor has waived fees or reimbursed expenses, which may have resulted in higher returns. The listed returns and yields on the Fund are net of expenses. Unlike the Fund, the index listed is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses.

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