Dear Managers Income Equity Fund Shareholder:
The enclosed information statement details a recent portfolio
manager change in Managers Income Equity Fund. On September 8,
1997, the Fund's Trustees approved the hiring of Chartwell
Investment Partners, L.P. ("Chartwell") to replace Spare, Kaplan,
Bischel & Associates as a portfolio manager of the Fund.
Chartwell joins Scudder, Stevens & Clark, Inc., the Fund's other
Sub-advisor, managing approximately one half of the Fund. We are
optimistic that the Fund will continue to benefit under the
management of these two fine firms.
As a matter of regulatory compliance, we send you this
information statement which describes the management structure of
the Fund, and the ownership of Chartwell, as well as the terms of
the Sub-advisory agreement with Chartwell which your Trustees
have approved.
Please feel free to call us at (800) 835-3879 should you have any
questions on the enclosed information statement. We thank you
for your continued interest in The Managers Funds.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Watson
President

INFORMATION STATEMENT
____________________
This information statement is being provided to the
shareholders of Managers Income Equity Fund in lieu of a proxy
statement, pursuant to the terms of an exemptive order the Trust
has received from the Securities and Exchange Commission which
permits the Fund's manager to hire new Sub-advisors and to make
changes to existing Sub-advisory contracts with the approval of
the Trustees, but without obtaining shareholder approval. We are
not asking you for a Proxy and you are requested not to send us a
Proxy.
This information statement will be mailed on or about
November 4, 1997.
The Trust
Managers Income Equity Fund (the "Income Equity Fund" or the
"Fund") is an investment portfolio of The Managers Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"). The Trust has
entered into an investment management agreement with The Managers
Funds, L.P. (the "Manager"), dated August 17, 1990 (the
"Management Agreement"). Under the Management Agreement, it is
the responsibility of the Manager to select, subject to review
and approval by the Trustees, one or more Sub-advisors (the "Sub-
advisors") to manage the portfolio of each investment portfolio
of the Trust (each a "Fund"), to review and monitor the
performance of these Sub-advisors on an ongoing basis, and to
recommend changes in the roster of Sub-advisors to the Trustees
as appropriate. The Manager is responsible for allocating the
Fund's assets among the Sub-advisors for each Fund that has more
than one Sub-advisor. The portion of a Fund's assets managed by
a Sub-advisor may be adjusted from time to time in the sole
discretion of the Manager, and it is possible that an approved
Sub-advisor may not manage any portion of the Fund's assets. The
Manager is also responsible for conducting all business
operations of the Trust, except those operations contracted to
the custodian or transfer agent. As compensation for its
services, the Manager receives a fee from each Fund, out of which
the Manager renders all fees payable to the Sub-advisors of that
Fund. The Funds, therefore, pay no fees to the Sub-advisors.
The Manager recommends Sub-advisors for the Funds to the
Trustees based upon its continuing quantitative and qualitative
evaluation of the Sub-advisors' skills in managing assets
pursuant to specific investment styles and strategies. Short-
term investment performance, by itself, is not a significant
factor in selecting or terminating a Sub-advisor, and the Manager
does not expect to recommend frequent changes of Sub-advisors.
The Sub-advisors do not provide any services to the Funds
except portfolio investment management and related record-keeping
services. However, in accordance with procedures adopted by the
Trustees, a Sub-advisor, or its affiliated broker-dealer, may
execute portfolio transactions for a Fund and receive brokerage
commissions in connection therewith as permitted by Section 17(e)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), and the rules thereunder.
The Sub-Advisory Agreement
Since August 1990, Spare, Kaplan, Bischel & Associates
("SKB&A") has served as one of the Fund's Sub-advisors, pursuant
to a Sub-advisory agreement dated September 7, 1990 (the
"Previous Agreement"). At a meeting held on September 8, 1997,
the Trustees, including a majority of the non-interested
Trustees, approved the Manager's recommendation to replace SKB&A
with a new Sub-advisor with a more team-oriented investment
approach than SKB&A's yield-oriented contrarian investment style.
Accordingly, the Trustees approved a Sub-advisory agreement (the
"New Agreement") with Chartwell Investment Partners, L.P.
("Chartwell") which became effective on September 18, 1997. The
recommendation to hire Chartwell was made by the Manager in the
ordinary course of its ongoing evaluation of Sub-advisor
performance and investment strategy and after extensive research
of numerous candidate firms and qualitative and quantitative
analysis of each candidate's organizational structure, investment
process and style, and long-term performance record. The Manager
believes that Chartwell's management style is appropriately
suited to the Fund and expects Chartwell's team-oriented
management style and relatively concentrated portfolio, to
complement that of the Fund's other Sub-advisor, Scudder, Stevens
& Clark, Inc. ("Scudder").
Under the Management Agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a
fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. From
this amount, the Manager has paid SKB&A a fee of 0.40% of the
Fund's average daily net assets under SKB&A's management under
the Previous Agreement and has paid Scudder a fee of 0.35% of the
Fund's average daily net assets under Scudder's management under
the continuing agreement with Scudder. Effective September 18,
1997, the Manager will pay (under the New Agreement with
Chartwell and the continuing agreement with Scudder) each Sub-
advisor a fee of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets
under each such Sub-advisor's management. For the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996, the Fund paid the Manager $349,821, of
which the Manager paid $88,082 and $86,220 to SKB&A and Scudder,
respectively. If the New Agreement had been in effect for 1996,
the total management fee payable to the Fund would have been
unchanged, and the fee paid by the Manager to SKB&A and Scudder
would have been $77,072 and $86,220, respectively. The Sub-
advisory fee payable by the Manager to SKB&A would have been
decreased by 0.05%.
The New Agreement is somewhat different in form from the
Previous Agreement. In November 1994, the Trustees unanimously
approved the adoption of the new form of agreement with respect
to Sub-advisors retained after that date, and at their September
9, 1996 meeting the Trustees approved certain further changes to
the new form of agreement. The new form of agreement is very
similar in substance to the Previous Agreement in that it
provides for the Sub-advisor to manage the portion of the Fund
allocated to it on a discretionary basis, provides for the
Manager to compensate the Sub-advisor for its services,
authorizes the Sub-advisor to select the brokers or dealers to
effect portfolio transactions for the Fund, and requires the Sub-
advisor to comply with the Fund's investment policies and
restrictions and with applicable law. Also, because the previous
form of agreement had been in use for a number of years, the
Trustees believed it advisable to update this form. The Previous
Agreement differs from the New Agreement in certain respects.
Certain operational matters relating to trading and recordkeeping
have been moved out of the agreement itself and will instead be
included in a separate letter of instruction from the Manager to
the Sub-advisor. In addition, the Sub-advisor's responsibilities
with respect to compliance monitoring and insurance coverage have
been clarified. The form of the New Agreement is attached to
this information statement as Exhibit A.
Information on Chartwell
Following is a description of Chartwell, which is based on
information provided by the Sub-advisor. The Sub-advisor is not
affiliated with the Manager.
CHARTWELL INVESTMENT PARTNERS, L.P.
1235 Westlakes Drive
Suite 330
Berwyn, PA 19312
Chartwell is a Limited Partnership which is controlled by
Bobcat Partners, L.P. Chartwell's General Partner is Chartwell
G.P., Inc. Chartwell has no other General Partners. Chartwell
commenced operations in 1997, and as of September 1997, had
approximately $819 million under management.
Board of Trustees' Recommendation
In approving the New Agreement, the Trustees, at an in-
person meeting held on September 8, 1997, considered a number of
factors, including (i) the nature and quality of the services
expected to be rendered by Chartwell to the Fund; (ii)
Chartwell's investment approach which is expected to complement
that of Scudder and provide additional diversification to the
Fund; (iii) the structure of Chartwell, its relatively recent
founding, and its ability to provide services to the Fund; and
(iv) that the fees payable by the Fund will not change as a
result of the New Agreement although the allocation of those fees
between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor will change, and that the
terms of the two agreements are substantially the same.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Other Matters
The Manager, located at 40 Richards Avenue, Norwalk,

Dated: November 4, 1997
EXHIBIT A
FORM OF SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Attention: Harold A. Ofstie
Chartwell Investment Partners, L.P.
RE: Sub-Advisory Agreement
To whom it may concern:
The Managers Income Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a series of a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust") that is registered as
an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, (the "Act"), and subject to the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.
The Managers Funds, L.P. (the "Manager") acts as the manager and
administrator of the Trust pursuant to the terms of a Management
Agreement with the Trust. The Manager is responsible for the day-
to-day management and administration of the Fund and the
coordination of investment of the Fund's assets. However,
pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, specific
portfolio purchases and sales for the Fund's investment
portfolios or a portion thereof, are to be made by advisory
organizations recommended by the Manager and approved by the
Trustees of the Trust.
1. Appointment as a Sub-advisor. The Manager, being duly
authorized, hereby appoints and employs Chartwell Investment
Partners, L.P. ("Sub-advisor") as a discretionary asset manager,
on the terms and conditions set forth herein, of those assets of
the Fund which the Manager determines to allocate to the Sub-
advisor (those assets being referred to as the "Fund Account").
The Manager may, from time to time, with the consent of the Sub-
advisor, make additions to the Fund Account and may, from time to
time, make withdrawals of any or all of the assets in the Fund
Account.
2. Portfolio Management Duties.
(a) Subject to the supervision of the Manager and of
the Trustees of the Trust, the Sub-advisor shall manage
the composition of the Fund Account, including the
purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in
accordance with the Fund's investment objectives,
policies and restrictions as stated in the Fund's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
(such Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for the Fund as currently in effect and as
amended or supplemented in writing from time to time,
being herein called the "Prospectus").
(b) The Sub-advisor shall maintain such books and
records pursuant to Rule 31a-1 under the Act and Rule
204-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Advisers Act"), with respect to the Fund
Account as shall be specified by the Manager from time
to time, and shall maintain such books and records for
the periods specified in the rules under the Act or the
Advisers Act. In accordance with Rule 31a-3 under the
Act, the Sub-advisor agrees that all records under the
Act shall be the property of the Trust.
(c) The Sub-advisor shall provide the Trust's
Custodian, and the Manager on each business day with
information relating to all transactions concerning the
Fund Account. In addition, the Sub-advisor shall be
responsive to requests from the Manager or the Trust's
Custodian for assistance in obtaining price sources for
securities held in the Fund Account, as well as for
periodically reviewing the prices of the securities
assigned by the Manager or the Trust's Custodian for
reasonableness and advising the Manager should any such
prices appear to be incorrect.
(d) The Sub-advisor agrees to maintain adequate
compliance procedures to ensure its compliance with the
1940 Act, the Advisers Act and other applicable federal
and state regulations, and review information provided
by the Manager to assist the Manager in its compliance
review program.
(e) The Sub-advisor agrees to maintain errors and
omissions or professional liability insurance coverage
with minimum coverage limits of $5 million throughout
the term of this agreement.
3. Allocation of Brokerage. The Sub-advisor shall have
authority and discretion to select brokers, dealers and futures
commission merchants to execute portfolio transactions initiated
by the Sub-advisor, and for the selection of the markets on or in
which the transactions will be executed.
(a) In doing so, the Sub-advisor's primary
responsibility shall be to obtain the best net price
and execution for the Fund. However, this
responsibility shall not be deemed to obligate the Sub-
advisor to solicit competitive bids for each
transaction, and the Sub-advisor shall have no
obligation to seek the lowest available commission cost
to the Fund, so long as the Sub-advisor determines that
the broker, dealer or futures commission merchant is
able to obtain the best net price and execution for the
particular transaction taking into account all factors
the Sub-advisor deems relevant, including, but not
limited to, the breadth of the market in the security
or commodity, the price, the financial condition and
execution capability of the broker, dealer or futures
commission merchant and the reasonableness of any
commission for the specific transaction and on a
continuing basis. The Sub-advisor may consider the
brokerage and research services (as defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) made available by the broker to the Sub-
advisor viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or of the Sub-advisor's overall
responsibilities with respect to its clients, including
the Fund, as to which the Sub-advisor exercises
investment discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund
may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of any
such services or that another broker may be willing to
charge the Fund a lower commission on the particular
transaction.
(b) The Manager shall have the right to request that
specified transactions giving rise to brokerage
commissions, in an amount to be agreed upon by the
Manager and the Sub-advisor, shall be executed by
brokers and dealers that provide brokerage or research
services to the Fund or the Manager, or as to which an
on-going relationship will be of value to the Fund in
the management of its assets, which services and
relationship may, but need not, be of direct benefit to
the Fund Account, so long as (i) the Manager determines
that the broker or dealer is able to obtain the best
net price and execution on a particular transaction and
(ii) the Manager determines that the commission cost is
reasonable in relation to the total quality and
reliability of the brokerage and research services made
available to the Fund or to the Manager for the benefit
of its clients for which it exercises investment
discretion, notwithstanding that the Fund Account may
not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of any such
service or that another broker may be willing to charge
the Fund a lower commission on the particular
transaction
(c) The Sub-advisor agrees that it will not execute
any portfolio transactions with a broker, dealer or
futures commission merchant which is an "affiliated
person" (as defined in the Act) of the Trust or of the
Manager or of any Sub-advisor for the Trust except in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.
The Manager agrees that it will provide the Sub-advisor
with a list of brokers and dealers which are
"affiliated persons" of the Trust, the Manager or the
Trust's Sub-advisors.
4. Information Provided to the Manager and the Trust and to the
Sub-advisor
(a) The Sub-advisor agrees that it will make available
to the Manager and the Trust promptly upon their
request copies of all of its investment records and
ledgers with respect to the Fund Account to assist the
Manager and the Trust in monitoring compliance with the
Act, the Advisers Act, and other applicable laws. The
Sub-advisor will furnish the Trust's Board of Trustees
with such periodic and special reports with respect to
the Fund Account as the Manager or the Board of
Trustees may reasonably request.
(b) The Sub-advisor agrees that it will notify the
Manager and the Trust in the event that the Sub-advisor
or any of its affiliates: (i) becomes subject to a
statutory disqualification that prevents the Sub-
advisor from serving as investment adviser pursuant to
this Agreement; or (ii) is or expects to become the
subject of an administrative proceeding or enforcement
action by the Securities and Exchange Commission or
other regulatory authority. Notification of an event
within (i) shall be given immediately; notification of
an event within (ii) shall be given promptly. The Sub-
advisor has provided the information about itself set
forth in the Registration Statement and has reviewed
the description of its operations, duties and
responsibilities as stated therein and acknowledges
that they are true and correct in all material respects
and contain no material misstatement or omission, and
it further agrees to notify the Manager immediately of
any fact known to the Sub-advisor respecting or
relating to the Sub-advisor that causes any statement
in the Prospectus to become untrue or misleading in any
material respect or that causes the Prospectus to omit
to state a material fact.
(c) The Sub-advisor represents that it is an
investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act
and other applicable laws and that the statements
contained in the Sub-advisor's registration under the
Advisers Act on Form ADV as of the date hereof, are
true and correct and do not omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading.
The Sub-advisor agrees to maintain the completeness and
accuracy in all material respects of its registration
on Form ADV in accordance with all legal requirements
relating to that Form. The Sub-advisor acknowledges
that it is an "investment adviser" to the Fund within
the meaning of the Act and the Advisers Act.
5. Compensation. The compensation of the Sub-advisor for its
services under this Agreement shall be calculated and paid by the
Manager in accordance with the attached Schedule A. Pursuant to
the provisions of the Management Agreement between the Trust and
the Manager, the Manager is solely responsible for the payment of
fees to the Sub-advisor, and the Sub-advisor agrees to seek
payment of its fees solely from the Manager and not from the
Trust or the Fund.
6. Other Investment Activities of the Sub-advisor. The Manager
acknowledges that the Sub-advisor or one or more of its
affiliates may have investment responsibilities or render
investment advice to or perform other investment advisory
services for other individuals or entities ("Affiliated
Accounts"). The Manager agrees that the Sub-advisor or its
affiliates may give advice or exercise investment responsibility
and take such other action with respect to other Affiliated
Accounts which may differ from the advice given or the timing or
nature of action taken with respect to the Fund Account, provided
that the Sub-advisor acts in good faith and provided further,
that it is the Sub-advisor's policy to allocate, within its
reasonable discretion, investment opportunities to the Fund
Account over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis
relative to the Affiliated Accounts, taking into account the
investment objectives and policies of the Fund and any specific
investment restrictions applicable thereto. The Manager
acknowledges
that one or more of the Affiliated Accounts may at any time hold,
acquire, increase, decrease, dispose or otherwise deal with
positions in investments in which the Fund Account may have an
interest from time to time, whether in transactions which involve
the Fund Account or otherwise. The Sub-advisor shall have no
obligation to acquire for the Fund Account a position in any
investment which any Affiliated Account may acquire, and the Fund
shall have no first refusal, co-investment or other rights in
respect of any such investment, either for the Fund Account or
otherwise.
7. Standard of Care. The Sub-advisor shall exercise its best
judgment in rendering the services provided by it under this
Agreement. The Sub-advisor shall not be liable for any act or
omission, error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by the Manager or the Trust in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates, provided that nothing in
this Agreement shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect
the Sub-advisor against any liability to the Manager or the Trust
or to holders of the Trust's shares representing interests in the
Fund to which the Sub-advisor would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on
its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of the Sub-
advisor's reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under
this Agreement.
8. Assignment. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in
the event of its assignment (as defined in the Act and in the
rules adopted under the Act). The Sub-advisor shall notify the
Trust in writing sufficiently in advance of any proposed change
of control, as defined in Section 2(a)(9) of the Act, as will
enable the Trust to consider whether an assignment under the Act
will occur, and to take the steps necessary to enter into a new
contract with the Sub-advisor or such other steps as the Board of
Trustees may deem appropriate.
9. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended at any time, but
only by written agreement between the Sub-advisor and the
Manager, which amendment is subject to the approval of the
Trustees and the shareholders of the Trust in the manner required
by the Act.
10. Effective Date; Term. This Agreement shall become effective
on September 18, 1997 and shall continue in effect for a term of
two years from that date. Thereafter, the Agreement shall
continue in effect only so long as its continuance has been
specifically approved at least annually by the Trustees, or the
shareholders of the Fund in the manner required by the Act. The
aforesaid requirement shall be construed in a manner consistent
with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
11. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by (i) the
Manager at anytime without penalty, upon notice to the Sub-
advisor and the Trust, (ii) at any time without penalty by the
Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund (as defined in the Act) on notice to the
Sub-advisor or (iii) by the Sub-advisor at any time without
penalty, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the Manager and
the Trust.
12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule, or
otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby but shall continue in full force and effect.
13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder. To the extent that
state law is not preempted by the provisions of any law of the
United States heretofore or hereafter enacted, as the same may be
amended from time to time, this Agreement shall be administered,
construed, and enforced according to the laws of the State of
Connecticut.
