PORTFOLIO MANAGERS' COMMENTARY
Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust                         June 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio
   TED GIULIANO & CATHERINE WATERWORTH, PORTFOLIO CO-MANAGERS
   The portfolio provided a 0.33% return during the first six months of 1999,
while its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index* provided a 1.17%
return. After the extreme volatility of the second half of 1998, the bond market
entered a period of relative (and, in the portfolio co-managers' opinion, well
deserved) peace and quiet. In this environment, the portfolio produced the
results the managers believe it should, protecting principal in a moderately
rising interest rate environment.
   Giuliano and Waterworth made a number of changes to the portfolio during the
first quarter. Most notably, the portfolio's allocation to U.S. Government
Agency securities was reduced and those assets were redeployed into
mortgage-backed securities. This change enabled the portfolio to capitalize on
income opportunities and potential price appreciation as the differences in
yields between mortgage-backed securities and comparable U.S. Government Agency
securities narrowed.
   During the second half of the reporting period however, the relative peace
and quiet in the bond market was shattered when fixed-income investors awoke to
the conclusion that faster-than-expected economic growth in domestic and
overseas markets might rekindle inflation pressures. Interest rates rose quickly
and dramatically across the yield curve, and fixed-income securities provided
investors with their highest yields of the past 18 months.
   The portfolio co-managers believe that investment environments such as the
one that dominated the second quarter provide true tests of fixed-income
managers' skills. According to Giuliano, "higher interest rates are like a
receding tide. You don't know which portfolio manager is naked until the tide
goes out." When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. The challenge facing
managers of limited-maturity funds in this environment is to maintain as high a
level of income as is practical with preservation of capital.
   When the second quarter began Giuliano and Waterworth had already positioned
the portfolio for higher interest rates. They accomplished this by maintaining
their diversification strategy, investing in securities from 74 different
issuers as of June 30, 1999. The managers also maintained modest positions
outside of the United States (5.7%), split evenly among Canadian, Italian and
Swedish issuers, for additional diversification.
   Within their broadly diversified portfolio, they de-emphasized interest-rate
sensitive sectors of the bond market by reducing their exposure to asset-backed
securities.
   These changes helped improve the portfolio's credit quality from an average
of A+ at the start of the six-month period to Aa- at the end. In addition,
Giuliano and Waterworth gradually reduced the portfolio's average duration, a
measure of sensitivity to changing interest rates, from about 2.6 years to 2.0
years. This shift was intended to quickly capture higher yields as they became
available in the market.
   Looking forward, Giuliano and Waterworth currently believe that the portfolio
is well positioned for the second half of 1999. If interest rates rise further,
they believe that the portfolio's current posture should help it maintain
competitive yields. If economic growth begins to subside and interest rates
decline, the portfolio co-managers stand ready to make the changes required to
lock in high yields and take advantage of opportunities for potential capital
appreciation.

*2.18%, 5.49%, and 6.19% were the average annual total returns for the 1-,5-,
 and 10-year periods ended June 30, 1999. Results are shown on a "total return"
 basis and include reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions.
 Neuberger Berman Management Inc. currently absorbs certain operating expenses
 of the Portfolio. Absent such arrangement, which is subject to change, the
 total returns would have been less.

 The 30-day yield shown for the Portfolio was 5.60% ended June 30, 1999. Past
 performance does not guarantee future results and shares when redeemed may be
 worth more or less than their original cost. The performance information does
 not reflect separate account and insurance policy fees and expenses.

 The Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury Index is an unmanaged total return market
 value index consisting of all coupon-bearing U.S. Treasury publicly placed debt
 securities with maturities between 1 to 3 years.

 Please note that indices do not take into account any fees and expenses of
 investing in the individual securities that they track, and that individuals
 cannot invest directly in any index. Data about the performance of this index
 are prepared or obtained by Neuberger Berman Management Inc. and include
 reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions. The Portfolio
 invests in many securities not included in the above-described index.

 The composition, industries and holdings of the Portfolio are subject to
 change.

 The investments for the Portfolio are managed by the same portfolio manager(s)
 who manage one or more other mutual funds that have similar names, investment
 objectives and investment styles as the Portfolio. You should be aware that the
 Portfolio is likely to differ from the other mutual funds in size, cash flow
 pattern and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and performance of the
 Portfolio can be expected to vary from those of the other mutual funds.

 Shares of the separate Portfolios of Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust
 are sold only through the currently effective prospectus and are not available
 to the general public. Shares of the AMT Portfolios may be purchased only by
 life insurance companies to be used with their separate accounts that fund
 variable annuity and variable life insurance policies and by qualified pension
 and retirement plans.

Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust             June 30, 1999 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1) GENERAL: Limited Maturity Bond 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 eight 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
   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 Limited Maturity Bond Investments (the
   "Series"), a series of Advisers Managers Trust 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, 1999). 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 as indicated in the notes
   following the Series' Schedule of Investments.
3) TAXES: The Funds are treated as separate entities for U.S. 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 U.S.
   Federal income tax purposes as capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to
   relieve it from all, or substantially all, U.S. Federal income taxes.
   Accordingly, the Fund paid no U.S. Federal income taxes and no provision for
   U.S. 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. Income 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 ($6,955,974, $296,579, $1,871,355, and $2,478,607 expiring in
   2002, 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively, determined as of December 31,
   1998), 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 accumulated net realized
   gains.

          Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio

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.
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 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 Inc. ("Management") as its
administrator under an Administration Agreement ("Agreement"). Pursuant to this
Agreement the Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of
0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Fund indirectly pays for
investment management services through its investment in the Series (see Note B
of Notes to Financial Statements of the Series).
   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 plus its pro rata share of its Series' operating expenses (excluding
the fees payable to Management, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
extraordinary expenses, and transaction costs) which exceed, in the aggregate,
1.00% 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. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, no reimbursement to the
Fund was required.
   All of the capital stock of Management is owned by individuals who are also
principals of Neuberger Berman, LLC ("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 principals of Neuberger and/or
officers and/or directors of Management.
   The Series has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian
contract. The impact of this arrangement, reflected in the Statement of
Operations under the caption Expenses from Series, was a reduction of $852.

NOTE C -- INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
   During the six months ended June 30, 1999, additions and reductions in the
Fund's investment in its Series amounted to $6,951,732 and $26,440,535,
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
contain audited financial statements.

          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 fiscal 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) 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 fiscal
   period and assumes dividends and other 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 charges and other expenses that apply to
   the separate account or the related insurance policies, and the inclusion of
   these charges and other expenses would reduce the total return for all fiscal
   periods shown.
4) Not annualized.
5) For fiscal periods ending after September 1, 1995, the Fund is required to
   calculate an expense ratio without taking into consideration any expense
   reductions related to expense offset arrangements.
6) Annualized.
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 periods ending after April 28, 1995, are included in the
   Financial Highlights of AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments, which appear
   elsewhere in this report.

          AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1) GENERAL: AMT Limited Maturity Bond 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 eight separate operating series. Managers Trust is registered as
   a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment
   Company Act of 1940, as amended.
      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) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The accounting records of the Series are
   maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
   dollars at the current rate of exchange of such currency against the U.S.
   dollar to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities.
   Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses are
   translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the
   respective dates of such transactions.
4) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
   recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, including accretion of
   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 and foreign currency transactions are
   recorded on the basis of identified cost.
5) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS: The Series may enter into forward foreign
   currency contracts ("contracts") in connection with planned purchases or
   sales of securities to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities
   denominated in a foreign currency. The gain or loss arising from the
   difference between the original contract price and the closing price of such
   contract is included in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency
   transactions. Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign currency contracts
   are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses
   by the Series. The Series has no specific limitation on the percentage of
   assets which may be committed to these types of contracts. The Series could
   be exposed to risks if a counterparty to a contract were unable to meet the
   terms of its contract or if the value of the foreign currency changes
   unfavorably. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all
   contractual commitments held by the Series is determined using forward
   foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.
6) TAXES: Managers Trust intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal
   Revenue Code. 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 U.S. Federal income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to U.S.
   Federal income tax.
7) FOREIGN TAXES: Foreign taxes withheld represent amounts withheld by foreign
   tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.
8) ORGANIZATION EXPENSES: Expenses incurred by the Series in connection with its
   organization are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five-year
   period. At June 30, 1999, the unamortized balance of such expenses amounted
   to $13,469.

9) 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.
10) FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS: The Series may buy and sell financial futures
    contracts to hedge against changes in securities prices resulting from
    changes in prevailing interest rates. At the time the Series enters into a
    financial futures contract, it is required to deposit with its custodian a
    specified amount of cash or liquid securities, known as "initial margin,"
    ranging upward from 1.1% of the value of the financial futures contract
    being traded. Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official
    settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodity exchange on which
    such futures contract is traded. Subsequent payments, known as "variation
    margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily basis as the market
    price of the financial futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin
    adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by the Series
    as unrealized gains or losses.
       Although some financial futures contracts by their terms call for actual
    delivery or acceptance of financial instruments, in most cases the contracts
    are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of
    matching financial futures contracts. When the contracts are closed, the
    Series recognizes a gain or loss. Risks of entering into futures contracts
    include the possibility there may be an illiquid market and/or a change in
    the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the
    underlying securities.
       For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken
    by the Series may cause the Series to recognize gains or losses from marking
    to market even though its positions have not been sold or terminated, may
    affect the character of the gains or losses recognized as long-term or
    short-term, and may affect the timing of some capital gains and losses
    realized by the Series. Also, the Series' losses on transactions involving
    futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account
    currently in calculating the Series' taxable income.
       At June 30, 1999, open positions in financial futures contracts were as
    follows:

      At June 30, 1999, the Series had deposited $800,000 WestPoint Stevens
   Inc., Senior Notes, 7.875%, due 6/15/05, in a segregated account to cover
   margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

NOTE B -- MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
   The Series retains Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("Management") as its
investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management
services, the Series pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
first $500 million of the Series' average daily net assets, 0.225% of the next
$500 million, 0.20% of the next $500 million, 0.175% of the next $500 million,
and 0.15% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion.
   All of the capital stock of Management is owned by individuals who are also
principals of Neuberger Berman, LLC ("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 added cost to the Series. Several individuals who
are officers and/or trustees of Managers Trust are also principals of Neuberger
