          Government Income Portfolio
   During  the six  months ended  June 30, 1996,  the fixed  income markets were
characterized by a tremendous  amount of volatility and  a complete reversal  of
market  sentiment regarding  the direction  of the  economy and  interest rates.
Coming into  1996,  interest  rates were  plunging  as  what appeared  to  be  a
weakening  economy  prompted the  Federal Reserve  to lower  short-term interest
rates for the third time in six  months in order to avoid a possible  recession.
Starting in February, much stronger-than-expected economic data, the collapse of
negotiations  for  a  balanced budget  plan,  and rising  commodity  prices that
sparked inflation fears all  combined to send the  bond market downward.  Strong
employment  growth and emerging  wage pressures continued  through the first six
months of 1996,  escalating worries that  inflation and higher  rates were  just
around  the corner. The bond market responded  toward the end of the Semi-Annual
Report period by continuing the  sell-off that started in February,  highlighted
by  a  price  decline  of  over  9%  in  the  benchmark  30-year  Treasury  bond
year-to-date through June.
   In response  to  the  weakening  economic data  and  bullish  sentiment  that
dominated  the bond market at the end of 1995, our strategy at the start of 1996
was to continue to purchase long-term Treasuries in order to target a relatively
long duration (duration  is a measure  of the portfolio's  exposure to  interest
rate  risk) for  the portfolio. This  relatively bullish duration  resulted in a
higher sensitivity to interest rate changes, which would have been beneficial in
a declining  interest rate  environment. This  strategy worked  well  throughout
January, when interest rates were falling and the bond market continued its long
rally.
   As   we  entered  February,  however,  improving  economic  fundamentals  and
increasing inflation problems generated a negative response by the bond  market.
Our  strategy of targeting a relatively long duration and a corresponding higher
sensitivity to interest rate  changes resulted in a  lower total return for  the
Portfolio  than  a comparable  portfolio with  a shorter  duration. As  the bond
market continued to  sell off, we  reduced the sensitivity  of the portfolio  to
further  interest rate movements  by selling longer-term  Treasuries in order to
substantially reduce  our  average  duration.  We  also  adjusted  our  mortgage
strategy  to  purchase more  current  coupon(1) and  slightly  premium coupon(2)
pass-through securities, expecting that the  prepayment fears of late 1995  that
had  caused these securities to  underperform relative to discount pass-throughs
would quickly abate and result in some measure of outperformance. Both of  these
adjustments added value to the portfolio through June compared to where it stood
in  early February. However, the dramatic  increase in interest rates during the
first half  of  this year  and  the corresponding  decline  in the  bond  market
overwhelmed  the positive  impact of  these strategy  changes. The  result was a
negative total  return for  the Portfolio  in  the six  months covered  by  this
Semi-Annual Report.
   Overall,  during the  first six months  of 1996  participants experienced the
extremes of the bond market. Our mortgage strategy and timely adjustments to the
portfolio's duration helped to mitigate  the negative impact on the  Portfolio's
total return caused by the dramatic rise in interest rates.

Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust             June 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
          Government Income Portfolio
 
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1) GENERAL:  Government Income  Portfolio (the  "Fund") is  a separate operating
   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 operating  series
   (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  AMT  Government Income  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, 1996). 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: The Fund records its investment in the Series at value.
   Investment securities  held by  the Series  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 investment company taxable income  and net capital gains (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
   distributions  from  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 the  Fund's
   net   realized  capital  gains,  if  any,  can  be  offset  by  capital  loss
   carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

Neuberger&Berman Advisers Management Trust             June 30, 1996 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Government Income Portfolio
 
      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 accumulated net  realized
   gains.
5) ORGANIZATION  EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the  Fund in connection with its
   organization are being amortized by the Fund on a straight-line basis over  a
   five-year  period. At June 30, 1996, the unamortized balance of such expenses
   amounted to $7,861.
6) 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.
7) 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 FEES, DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS, 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.  Pursuant  to  this   Agreement  the  Fund  pays  Management   an
administration  fee 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 .60%
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. 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  limit  the  Fund's  expenses  by
reimbursing  the Fund for its  operating expenses and its  pro rata share of its
Series' operating expenses (including the  compensation of Management under  the
Administration  Agreement and  the Series'  Management Agreement,  but excluding
interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and  transaction
costs)  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  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, 1996, such  excess
expenses amounted to $29,138.
 
                                                                               7

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Government Income Portfolio
 
   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 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.
   The  Series  has  an expense  offset  arrangement included  in  its custodian
contract.  The  impact  of  this  arrangement  reflected  in  the  Statement  of
Operations,  under the caption Expenses from Series, is $414, which is less than
 .02% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
NOTE C -- INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
   During the six months  ended June 30, 1996,  additions and reductions in  the
Fund's investment in its Series amounted to $849,270 and $87,538, respectively.
 
NOTE D -- UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
   The  financial information included in this  interim report is taken from the
records of  the  Fund without  audit  by independent  auditors.  Annual  reports

7)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 the periods ending  after April 28, 1995  are included elsewhere in
  AMT Government Income Investments' Financial Highlights.
+ 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. Total return  figures would have been
  lower if  Management had  not reimbursed  certain expenses.  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 Government Income Investments
1)Investment  securities of the  Series are valued daily  by obtaining bid price
  quotations from independent pricing services on selected securities  available
  in  each  service's  data  base.  For  all  other  securities  requiring daily
  quotations, bid  prices are  obtained from  principal market  makers in  those
  securities  or, if quotations are  not available, by a  method the trustees of
  Advisers Managers  Trust believe  accurately reflects  fair value.  Short-term
  investments  with less than 60 days until maturity at the time of purchase may
  be valued  at cost  which, when  combined with  interest earned,  approximates
  market value.
2)At  June 30, 1996, the cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes was
  $3,049,606. Gross unrealized appreciation of investments was $3,623 and  gross
  unrealized   depreciation  of  investments  was   $30,093,  resulting  in  net
  unrealized depreciation  of $26,470,  based  on cost  for Federal  income  tax
  purposes.

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
1) GENERAL:  AMT  Government Income  Investments  (the "Series")  is  a separate
   operating 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 operating 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 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: Investment  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 original  issue
   discount,   where  applicable,  and  accretion   of  discount  on  short-term
   investments, 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 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,  1996,  the unamortized  balance  of  such
   expenses amounted to $16,491.
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 Neuberger&Berman Management Incorporated ("Management") as
its investment manager under a Management Agreement dated as of May 1, 1995. For
such investment management  services, the Series  pays Management a  fee at  the
annual  rate of .35% of the first $500  million of the Series' average daily net
assets, .325% of the next $500 million, .30% of the next $500 million, .275%  of
the  next $500  million, and .25%  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 sub-adviser to the Series. Neuberger is 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.
 
                                                                              17
