PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' COMMENTARY
Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust                        August 1, 1995

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
   The  last two years have seen extremely  volatile interest rate swings in the
bond markets. The "bulls" ran away in  the first three quarters of 1993 only  to
have  the "bears" take over in 1994. By  the beginning of 1995, the "bears" were
in full control.  Specifically, yields on  2-year Treasury notes  were at  7.7%,
while 30-year Treasury bonds stood at 7.9%. With strong economic growth, and the
threat  of  rising  interest  rates,  many  people  predicted  1995  would  be a
continuation of the weak 1994 bond market.
   Instead, the bond market rallied, with 2-year Treasury note yields falling by
2% from January 1995,  through June 30, 1995,  and 30-year Treasury bond  yields
declining  by 1.35% during this  same time period. Towards  the end of June, the
major question debated  was not whether  the Federal Reserve  Board (Fed)  would
lower  interest  rates,  but when.  By  the end  of  June, the  bond  market had
anticipated the latest cut in interest rates by the Fed. In 1995 bonds have  had
generous total returns, year-to-date.
   During  the last few months, we have also seen the widening of corporate bond
spreads (the difference between the yield  of a corporate bond and a  comparable
maturity Treasury security). By the end of 1994, with the economy at full steam,
corporate  bond spreads had narrowed to  historically tight levels. But with the
change of sentiment  to a slower  economy, we finally  saw this alleviating  and
corporate  bond spreads actually widened.  AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments
took advantage of this buying opportunity (one wants to buy corporate bonds when
spreads are wide), and purchased corporate bonds. We added bonds of issuers such
as General  Motors, Xerox,  International Paper,  News America  Holdings,  AT&T,
Salomon  Brothers, Morgan  Stanley, and  Republic of  Poland. We  also purchased
mortgage-backed securities issued by agencies of the U.S. Government.
   Coming off the bear  market of 1994,  we entered 1995  at a relatively  short
maturity  of 2.2  years. Given  the uncertainty of  the environment,  we felt it
prudent to stay close to neutral and  kept the weighted average maturity in  the
1.9  to  2.4 year  range. This  conservative  maturity generally  detracted from
performance, while the actual sector and security selection added value. The net
result was to keep  our returns generally in-line  with the generous returns  of
the Merrill Lynch 1-3 year Treasury Index.

          Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

1) GENERAL: Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio (the "Fund") is a separate series of
   Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware business
   trust  organized pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated May 23, 1994. The Trust
   is currently comprised  of six  separate funds  (the "Funds").  The Trust  is
   registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the
   Investment  Company Act  of 1940, as  amended, and its  shares are registered
   under the Securities Act of 1933,  as amended. The predecessors of the  Funds
   were  converted into the Funds after the  close of business on April 28, 1995
   (the "conversion"); these  conversions were approved  by the shareholders  of
   the  predecessors of the Funds in August, 1994. The trustees of the Trust may
   establish additional  series or  classes of  shares without  the approval  of
   shareholders.
       The assets of each fund belong  only to that fund, and the liabilities of
   each fund are borne solely by that fund and no other.
      The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its
   net investable assets in the AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments, a  series
   of  Advisers  Managers  Trust  (the  "Series")  having  the  same  investment
   objective and policies as the Fund. The value of the Fund's investment in the
   Series reflects the Fund's  proportionate interest in the  net assets of  the
   Series  (100% at  June 30,  1995). The  performance of  the Fund  is directly
   affected by the performance  of the Series. The  financial statements of  the
   Series, including the schedule of investments, are included elsewhere in this
   report   and  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Fund's  financial
   statements.
2) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments in the Series of Advisers Managers Trust are
   valued by Advisers  Managers Trust as  indicated in the  notes following  the
   Series' schedule of investments.
3) FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES: The Fund and the other series of the Trust are treated
   as separate entities for Federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the
   Fund to continue to  qualify as a regulated  investment company by  complying
   with  the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in
   applicable sections of the Internal  Revenue Code, and to make  distributions
   of  taxable income  (after reduction  for any  amounts available  for Federal
   income tax purposes as capital  loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve  it
   from  all, or substantially all, Federal  income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund
   paid no Federal income  taxes and no provision  for Federal income taxes  was
   required.
4) DIVIDENDS  AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO  SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund  earns income, net of
   Series expenses, daily  on its investment  in the Series.  Dividends and  net
   realized  capital gains, if any, are normally distributed in February. Income
   dividends and capital gain distributions to shareholders are recorded on  the
   ex-dividend  date. To the extent that  the Fund's net realized capital gains,
   if any, can be offset by  capital loss carryforwards ($7,436,743 expiring  in
   2002,  determined as of December 31, 1994), it  is the policy of the Fund not
   to distribute such gains.
      The Fund  distinguishes between dividends on a  tax basis and a  financial
   reporting  basis and only  distributions in excess of  tax basis earnings and
   profits are reported  in the  financial statements  as a  return of  capital.
   Differences  in  the  recognition  or classification  of  income  between the
   financial statements and tax earnings  and profits which result in  temporary
   over-distributions   for  financial  statement  purposes  are  classified  as
   distributions in excess of net  investment income or distributions in  excess
   of accumulated net realized gains.

5) EXPENSE  ALLOCATION: Expenses directly attributable to  a fund are charged to
   that fund. Expenses not directly attributed  to a fund are allocated, on  the
   basis of relative net assets, to each of the funds of the Trust.
6) OTHER:  All net investment  income and realized  and unrealized capital gains
   and losses of the Series are allocated pro rata among the Fund and any  other
   investors in the Series.

NOTE B -- ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES:
   Fund  shares are  issued and redeemed  in connection with  investments in and
payments under certain  variable annuity contracts  and variable life  insurance
policies issued through separate accounts of life insurance companies.
   The  Fund retains Neuberger&Berman  Management Incorporated ("Management") as
its administrator under  an Administration Agreement  ("Agreement") dated as  of
May  1, 1995. The  Fund pays Management  an administration fee  pursuant to this
Agreement, at the annual rate of .40% of the Fund's average daily net assets and
indirectly pays for investment management services through its investment in the
Series. (See Note B of  Notes to Financial Statements  of the Series.) Prior  to
conversion,  the  predecessor  of the  Fund  paid to  Management  for investment
advisory and administrative services  a fee at  the annual rate  of .50% of  its
average daily net assets.
   On  April 16, 1993, the shareholders of the Trust adopted a distribution plan
("Plan") which provided that the predecessor to  the Trust, on behalf of any  of
its  series, could reimburse Management after  each calendar quarter for certain
distribution expenses in an amount  not to exceed .25%,  on an annual basis,  of
that  series' average daily net assets as of the close of such calendar quarter.
The Plan became effective on May 1,  1993, was implemented on November 1,  1993,
and  was terminated on April 30, 1995. For  the period ended April 30, 1995, the
Fund paid $32,389 for such expense. Effective  May 1, 1995, the trustees of  the
Trust adopted a non-fee distribution plan for each series of the Trust.
   Management has voluntarily undertaken to reimburse the Fund for its operating
expenses and its pro rata share of its Series' operating expenses (excluding the
compensation  of Management under  the Administration Agreement  and the Series'
Management Agreement,  interest,  taxes,  brokerage  commissions,  extraordinary
expenses,  transaction costs,  and any  payments to  Management pursuant  to the
Plan) which exceed, in the aggregate, 1%  per annum of the Fund's average  daily
net  assets. This  undertaking is subject  to termination by  Management upon at
least sixty  (60) days'  prior written  notice to  the Fund  as it  was for  its
predecessor  prior to the conversion. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, no
reimbursement to the Fund or its predecessor was required.
   All of the capital stock of Management  is owned by individuals who are  also
general  partners of Neuberger& Berman, L.P. ("Neuberger"), a member firm of The
New York Stock Exchange and the  sub-adviser to the Series. Several  individuals
who  are officers and/or  trustees of the  Trust are also  partners of Neuberger
and/or officers and/or directors of Management.

NOTE C -- INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
   During the period May 1, 1995 to  June 30, 1995, additions and reductions  to
the  Fund's investment  in its Series  amounted to  $10,552,939 and $19,801,064,
respectively.

                                                                               7

          Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio

1) The per share amounts which are shown have been computed based on the average
   number of shares outstanding during each period.
2) The per share amounts and ratios which are shown reflect income and expenses,
   including the Fund's proportionate share of the Series' income and expenses.
3) The  amounts shown  at this  caption for  a share  outstanding throughout the
   period may  not accord  with the  change  in aggregate  gains and  losses  in
   securities  for the period because of the  timing of sales and repurchases of
   Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the Fund.
4) Not annualized.
5) Annualized.
6) The Fund transferred  all of  its investment  securities into  its Series  on
   April 28, 1995. After that date the Fund invested only in its Series and that
   Series,  rather than the Fund, engaged in securities transactions. Therefore,
   after that date the Fund had  no portfolio turnover rate. Portfolio  turnover
   rates  for periods after April 28, 1995  are included in AMT Limited Maturity
   Bond Investments' Financial Highlights, presented elsewhere in this report.
+  Total return  based on  per share  net asset  value reflects  the effects  of
   changes in net asset value on the performance of the Fund during each period,
   and   assumes  dividends  and  capital   gain  distributions,  if  any,  were
   reinvested. Results represent  past performance and  do not guarantee  future
   results.  Investment  returns and  principal  may fluctuate  and  shares when
   redeemed may  be worth  more or  less than  original cost.  The total  return
   information  shown  does  not reflect  expenses  that apply  to  the separate
   account or the related insurance policies, and the inclusion of these charges
   would reduce the total return figures for all periods shown.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

1) GENERAL:  AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments  (the "Series") is a separate
   series of Advisers Managers Trust ("Managers  Trust"), a New York common  law
   trust  organized as of May 24, 1994. Managers Trust is currently comprised of
   six separate series. Managers Trust is registered as a diversified,  open-end
   management  investment company under  the Investment Company  Act of 1940, as
   amended. After  the close  of business  on  April 28,  1995, each  series  of
   Neuberger&Berman  Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust") invested all of its
   net  investable  assets  (cash,  securities,  and  receivables  relating   to
   securities)  in  a  corresponding  series  of  Managers  Trust,  receiving  a
   beneficial interest in that series.
      The assets of each series belong only to that series, and the  liabilities
   of each series are borne solely by that series, and no other.
2) PORTFOLIO  VALUATION:  Securities  are  valued  as  indicated  in  the  notes
   following the Series' schedule of investments.
3) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND  INVESTMENT INCOME:  Securities transactions  are
   recorded  on  a trade  date basis.  Interest  income, including  accretion of
   discount on  short-term investments  (adjusted for  original issue  discount,
   where  applicable),  is recorded  on the  accrual  basis. Realized  gains and
   losses from securities transactions are  recorded on the basis of  identified
   cost.
4) FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES: Managers Trust intends to comply with the requirements
   of the Internal  Revenue Code of  1986, as amended.  Each series of  Managers
   Trust  also intends to conduct  its operations so that  each of its investors
   will be able to qualify as  a regulated investment company. Each series  will
   be  treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes and is therefore
   not subject to Federal income tax.
5) ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the Series in connection with its
   organization are being amortized by the Series on a straight-line basis  over
   a  five-year  period.  At June  30,  1995,  the unamortized  balance  of such
   expenses amounted to $72,031. The  accrued organization costs are payable  to
   Neuberger&Berman   Management  Incorporated  ("Management"),  the  investment
   manager of the Series.
6) EXPENSE ALLOCATION: Expenses directly attributable to a series are charged to
   that series. Expenses not directly attributed  to a series are allocated,  on
   the basis of relative net assets, to each of the series of Managers Trust.

NOTE B -- MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
   The  Series retains Management  as its investment  manager under a Management
Agreement ("Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1995. For such investment  management
services,  the Series pays  Management a fee at  the annual rate  of .25% of the
first $500 million of the  Series' average daily net  assets, .225% of the  next
$500 million, .20% of the next $500 million, .175% of the next $500 million, and
 .15% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion.
   All  of the capital stock of Management  is owned by individuals who are also
general partners of Neuberger& Berman, L.P. ("Neuberger"), a member firm of  The
New  York  Stock  Exchange  and  the  sub-adviser  to  the  Series,  retained by
Management  to  furnish   it  with  investment   recommendations  and   research
information  without cost  to the Series.  Several individuals  who are officers
and/or trustees of Managers Trust are also partners of Neuberger and/or officers
and/or directors of Management.
