All of the Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust Portfolios are managed by
Neuberger Berman Management Inc., in conjunction with Neuberger Berman, LLC, as
sub-adviser. Together, the firms manage more than $55 billion in total assets as
of 12/31/99 and continue an asset management history that began in 1939.

RISK INFORMATION

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

This prospectus discusses principal risks of investment in portfolio shares. 
These and other risks are discussed in detail in the Statement of Additional 
Information (see back cover). If you are buying a variable contract, you 
should also read the contract's prospectus.

The Securities and Exchange Commission does not say whether any mutual fund is a
good or bad investment or whether the information in any prospectus is accurate
or complete. It is unlawful for anyone to indicate otherwise.

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
BALANCED PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"BY KEEPING MOST OF THE PORTFOLIO'S ASSETS INVESTED IN THE MID-CAP SEGMENT OF
THE STOCK MARKET, THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS LONG-TERM GROWTH, WHILE SUBSTANTIAL
INVESTMENT IN THE SHORT-TERM BOND MARKET HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE RISK WHILE
ADDING TO INCOME."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS GROWTH OF CAPITAL AND REASONABLE CURRENT INCOME WITHOUT
UNDUE RISK TO PRINCIPAL.

To pursue these goals, the portfolio allocates its assets between stocks --
primarily those of mid-capitalization companies -- and short-term fixed-income
securities from U.S. government and corporate issuers. The portfolio seeks to
reduce risk by diversifying among many issuers and different types of
securities.

The managers may allocate anywhere from 50% to 70% of assets to stock
investments, with the balance allocated to bond investments (at least 25%) and
operating cash. In determining the portfolio's allocation, the managers consult
with senior management of the adviser and sub-adviser.

In selecting stocks, the managers look for fast-growing companies in emerging or
rapidly evolving industries whose characteristics may include one or more of the
following:

- -    above-average growth of earnings

- -    earnings that have exceeded analysts' expectations

- -    financial strength

- -    a strong competitive position

- -    a reasonable stock price in light of the company's growth rate

The portfolio's fixed-income securities consist mainly of investment-grade bonds
and other debt securities from U.S. government and corporate issuers, and may
include mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Although the portfolio may invest
in securities of any maturity, it normally maintains an average portfolio
duration of four years or less. In selecting fixed-income securities, the
managers monitor national trends, looking for securities that appear relatively
underpriced or appear likely to have their credit ratings raised. 

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSET ALLOCATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Studies of performance and volatility indicate that balanced portfolios of
stocks and fixed-income securities can approach stock market performance while
experiencing lower volatility. The first step in an allocation strategy  is to
determine how assets should be divided among investment categories. Selecting
appropriate investments within those categories is a second step.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MID-CAP STOCKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mid-cap stocks have historically shown risk/return characteristics that are in
between those of small- and large-cap stocks. Their prices can rise and fall
substantially, although they have the potential to offer comparatively
attractive long-term returns.

Mid-caps are less widely followed on Wall Street than large-caps, which can make
it comparatively easier to find attractive stocks that are not overpriced.


                                   2    Balanced Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the stock and
bond markets. The behavior of these markets is unpredictable, particularly in
the short term. The value of your investment will rise and fall, and you could
lose money.

By focusing on mid-cap stocks, the portfolio is subject to their risks,
including the risk its holdings may:

- -    fluctuate more widely in price than the market as a whole

- -    underperform other types of stock when the market or the economy is not
     robust

- -    fall in price or be difficult to sell during market downturns

Because the prices of most growth stocks may be based on future expectations, 
these stocks tend to be more sensitive than value stocks to bad economic news 
and negative earnings surprises. While the prices of any type of stock can 
rise and fall rapidly, growth stocks in particular may underperform during 
periods when the market favors value stocks. The portfolio's performance may 
also suffer if certain stocks do not perform as the portfolio managers 
expected. To the extent that the managers sell stocks before they reach their 
market peak, the portfolio may miss out on opportunities for higher 
performance. 

Most of the performance of the bond portion of the portfolio depends on what
happens in the investment-grade bond market. The portfolio's yield and total
return on its fixed-income securities will typically fall when interest rates
rise. The portfolio sensitivity to this risk will increase with any increase in
the portfolio's duration.

A credit downgrade or default that affected any of the portfolio's securities
would adversely affect the portfolio's performance, as would unexpected interest
rate trends that cause mortgage- or asset-backed securities to be paid off
substantially earlier or later than expected.

The portfolio's performance may also suffer if certain investments or asset
allocations do not perform as portfolio managers expected.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements.

The use of certain derivatives to hedge interest rate risk or produce income
could affect portfolio performance if the derivatives do not perform as
expected. 

Although they may add diversification, foreign securities can be riskier,
because foreign markets tend to be more volatile and currency exchange rates
fluctuate. 

Through active trading, the portfolio may have a high turnover rate, which can
mean lower performance due to increased brokerage costs.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term securities. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information at left provides different measures of the portfolio's total
return. Total return includes the effect of distributions as well as changes in
share price, if any should occur. The figures assume that all distributions were
reinvested in the portfolio, and include all portfolio expenses.

As a frame of reference, the table includes two broad-based market indices as
well as a more focused index of mid-cap growth stocks. The portfolio's
performance figures include all of its expenses; the indices do not include
costs of investment. 

INVESTOR EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio charges no fees for buying, selling, or exchanging shares, or for
maintaining an account. Your only portfolio cost is your share of annual
operating expenses. You may, however, have additional insurance expenses in
connection with your variable contract.

GROWTH PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WITHOUT QUESTION, WE ARE GROWTH INVESTORS. WE LOOK FOR COMPANIES THAT WE THINK
WILL DELIVER POSITIVE EARNINGS SURPRISES, PARTICULARLY THOSE WITH THE POTENTIAL
TO DO SO CONSISTENTLY. IDEALLY, WE WANT TO IDENTIFY COMPANIES THAT WILL SOMEDAY
RANK AMONG THE FORTUNE 500."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

To pursue this goal, the portfolio invests mainly in common stocks of mid-
capitalization companies. The portfolio seeks to reduce risk by diversifying
among many companies and industries. The managers look for fast-growing
companies that are in emerging or rapidly evolving industries.

Factors in identifying these firms may include:

- -    above-average growth of earnings

- -    earnings that have exceeded analysts' expectations

The managers may also look for other characteristics in a company, such as
financial strength, a strong position relative to competitors or a stock price
that is reasonable in light of its growth rate. The managers follow a
disciplined selling strategy, and may drop a stock from the portfolio when it
reaches a target price, fails to perform as expected, or appears substantially
less desirable than another stock.

The portfolio has the ability to change its goal without shareholder approval,
although it does not currently intend to do so.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MID-CAP STOCKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mid-cap stocks have historically shown risk/return characteristics that are in
between those of small- and large-cap stocks. Their prices can rise and fall
substantially, although they have the potential to offer comparatively
attractive long-term returns.

Mid-caps are less widely followed on Wall Street than large-caps, which can make
it comparatively easier to find attractive stocks that are not overpriced.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH INVESTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For growth investors, the aim is to invest in companies that are already
successful but could be even more so. Often, these stocks are in emerging or
rapidly growing industries. While most growth stocks are known to investors,
they may not yet have reached their full potential. The growth investor looks
for reasons for continued success.


                                   6    Growth Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the stock market.
The market's behavior is unpredictable, particularly in the short term. Because
of this, the value of your investment will rise and fall, and you could lose
money.

By focusing on mid-cap stocks, the portfolio is subject to their risks,
including the risk its holdings may:

- -     fluctuate more widely in price than the market as a whole

- -    underperform other types of stocks when the market or the economy is not
     robust

- -    fall in price or be difficult to sell during market downturns

Because the prices of most growth stocks may be based on future expectations, 
these stocks tend to be more sensitive than value stocks to bad economic news 
and negative earnings surprises. While the prices of any type of stock can 
rise and fall rapidly, growth stocks in particular may underperform during 
periods when the market favors value stocks.

The portfolio's performance may also suffer if certain stocks do not perform as
the portfolio managers expected. To the extent that the managers sell stocks
before they reach their market peak, the portfolio may miss out on opportunities
for higher performance. Through active trading, the portfolio may have a high
turnover rate, which can mean lower performance due to increased brokerage
costs.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending, and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements.

Although they may add diversification, foreign securities can be riskier,
because foreign markets tend to be more volatile and currency exchange rates
fluctuate.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality short-
term investments. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean lost
opportunities.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information on this page provides different measures of the portfolio's
total return. Total return includes the effect of distributions as well as
changes in share price. The figures assume that all distributions were
reinvested in the fund.

As a frame of reference, the table includes a broad-based market index as well
as a more focused index of mid-cap growth stocks. The portfolio's performance
figures include all of its expenses; the indices do not include costs of
investment.

Because the portfolio had a policy of investing in stocks of all 
capitalizations and used a comparatively more value-oriented investment 
approach prior to July 1997, its performance prior to that date would have 
been different if current policies had been in effect.

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
GUARDIAN PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WITH GUARDIAN PORTFOLIO WE LOOK FOR ESTABLISHED COMPANIES THAT ARE EITHER
'UNDER A ROCK' OR 'UNDER A CLOUD' -- MEANING THAT THEY'RE EITHER NOT WELL
FOLLOWED ON WALL STREET OR THEY'RE TEMPORARILY OUT OF FAVOR WITH OTHER
INVESTORS. IT'S VERY MUCH A CLASSIC VALUE APPROACH."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL; CURRENT INCOME IS A SECONDARY
GOAL.

To pursue these goals, the portfolio invests mainly in common stocks of
large-capitalization companies. Because the managers tend to find that
undervalued stocks may be more common in certain sectors of the economy at a
given time, the portfolio may emphasize those sectors.

The portfolio seeks to reduce risk by diversifying among a large number of
companies across many different industries and economic sectors, and by managing
its overall exposure to a wide variety of risk factors.

The managers look for well-managed companies whose stock prices are undervalued.

Factors in identifying these firms may include:

- -    solid balance sheets

- -    above-average returns

- -    low price-to-earnings ratios

- -    consistent earnings

The portfolio managers consider portfolio level risk management when they 
choose investments. They do this by evaluating whether there is a buildup of 
different types of risk in the portfolio due to interrelationship of 
investments. Through this process, the managers attempt to identify whether 
the portfolio, while diversified, is comprised of industries and sectors that 
may be affected by common external factors.

The portfolio has the ability to change its goal without shareholder approval,
although it does not currently intend to do so.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LARGE-CAP STOCKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Large companies are usually well-established. They may have a variety of
products and business lines and a sound financial base that can help them
weather bad times. Compared to smaller companies, large companies can be less
responsive to changes and opportunities.

At the same time, their returns have sometimes lead those of smaller companies,
often with lower volatility.

different types of risk in the portfolio due to interrelationship of

portfolio, while diversified, is comprised of industries and sectors that may
be affected by common external factors.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUE INVESTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At any given time, there are companies whose stock prices are below the market
average, based on earnings, book value, or other financial measures. The value
investor examines these companies, searching for those that may rise in price
as other investors realize their worth.


                                   10   Guardian Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the stock market.
The market's behavior is unpredictable, particularly in the short term. Because
of this, the value of your investment will rise and fall, and you could lose
money.

At times, large-cap stocks may lag other types of stocks in performance, which
could cause the portfolio to perform less well than certain other mutual funds.
While they may at times be less risky than small-cap stocks, large-cap stocks
may perform better or less well over time.

To the extent that a value approach dictates an emphasis on certain sectors of
the market at any given time, the portfolio's performance is likely to be
disproportionately affected by the economic, market, and other developments that
may influence those sectors. The portfolio's performance may also suffer if a
sector does not perform as the portfolio managers expected.

With a value approach, there is also the risk that stocks may remain undervalued
during a given period. This may happen because value stocks as a category lose
favor with investors compared to growth stocks or because the managers failed to
anticipate which stocks or industries would benefit from changing market or
economic conditions.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending, and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements.

In using certain derivatives to gain stock market exposure for excess cash
holdings, the portfolio increases its risk of loss. Although they may add
diversification, foreign securities can be riskier, because foreign markets tend
to be more volatile and currency exchange rates fluctuate.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term investments. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WITHOUT QUESTION, WE ARE GROWTH INVESTORS. WE LOOK FOR COMPANIES THAT WE THINK
WILL DELIVER POSITIVE EARNINGS SURPRISES, PARTICULARLY THOSE WITH THE POTENTIAL
TO DO SO CONSISTENTLY. IDEALLY, WE WANT TO IDENTIFY COMPANIES THAT WILL SOMEDAY
RANK AMONG THE FORTUNE 500."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

To pursue this goal, the portfolio invests mainly in common stocks of
mid-capitalization companies. The portfolio seeks to reduce risk by diversifying
among many companies and industries. The managers look for fast-growing
companies that are in emerging or rapidly evolving industries.

Factors in identifying these firms may include:

- -    above-average growth of earnings

- -    earnings that have exceeded analysts' expectations

The managers may also look for other characteristics in a company, such as
financial strength, a strong position relative to competitors and a stock price
that is reasonable in light of its growth rate. The managers follow a
disciplined selling strategy, and may drop a stock from the portfolio when it
reaches a target price, fails to perform as expected, or appears substantially
less desirable than another stock.

The portfolio has the ability to change its goal without shareholder approval,
although it does not currently intend to do so.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MID-CAP STOCKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mid-cap stocks have historically shown risk/return characteristics that are in
between those of small- and large-cap stocks. Their prices can rise and fall
substantially, although they have the potential to offer comparatively
attractive long-term returns.

Mid-caps are less widely followed on Wall Street than large-caps, which can make
it comparatively easier to find attractive stocks that are not overpriced.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH INVESTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For growth investors, the aim is to invest in companies that are already
successful but could be even more so. Often, these stocks are in emerging or
rapidly growing industries. While most growth stocks are known to investors,
they may not yet have reached their full potential. The growth investor looks
for reasons for continued success.


                              14   Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the stock market.
The market's behavior is unpredictable, particularly in the short term. Because
of this, the value of your investment will rise and fall, and you could lose
money. By focusing on mid-cap stocks, the portfolio is subject to their risks,
including the risk its holdings may:

- -    fluctuate more widely in price than the market as a whole

- -    underperform other types of stocks when the market or the economy is not
     robust

- -    fall in price or be difficult to sell during market downturns

Because the prices of most growth stocks are based on future expectations, these
stocks tend to be more sensitive than value stocks to bad economic news and
negative earnings surprises. While the prices of any type of stock can rise and
fall rapidly, growth stocks in particular may underperform during periods when
the market favors value stocks.

The portfolio's performance may also suffer if certain stocks do not perform as
the portfolio managers expected. To the extent that the managers sell stocks
before they reach their market peak, the portfolio may miss out on opportunities
for higher performance. Through active trading, the portfolio may have a high
turnover rate, which can mean lower performance due to increased brokerage
costs.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending, and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements.

Although they may add diversification, foreign securities can be riskier,
because foreign markets tend to be more volatile and currency exchange rates
fluctuate.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term investments. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
PARTNERS PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"OUR MANAGEMENT APPROACH FOCUSES ON FINDING UNDERVALUED COMPANIES. IN
PARTICULAR, WE LOOK FOR 'FALLEN ANGELS' -- GROWTH STOCKS WHOSE PRICES HAVE HIT
NEW LOWS. AT THE SAME TIME, WE TEND TO BE DISCIPLINED IN MAKING SELL DECISIONS.
WE WOULD RATHER SELL EARLY THAN SELL TOO LATE."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS GROWTH OF CAPITAL.

To pursue this goal, the portfolio invests mainly in common stocks of mid- to
large-capitalization companies. The portfolio seeks to reduce risk by
diversifying among many companies and industries. The managers look for
well-managed companies whose stock prices are believed to be undervalued.

Factors in identifying these firms may include:

- -    strong fundamentals

- -    consistent cash flow

- -    a sound track record through all phases of the market cycle

The managers may also look for other characteristics in a company, such as a
strong position relative to competitors, a high level of stock ownership among
management, and a recent sharp decline in stock price that appears to be the
result of a short-term market overreaction to negative news.

The portfolio generally considers selling a stock when it reaches the managers'
target price, when it fails to perform as expected, or when other opportunities
appear more attractive. The portfolio has the ability to change its goal without
shareholder approval, although it does not currently intend to do so.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MID- AND LARGE-CAP STOCKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Large companies are usually well-established. Compared to mid-cap companies,
they may be less responsive to change, but their returns have sometimes lead
those of mid-cap companies, often with lower volatility.

Mid-cap stocks have historically performed more like small-caps than like large-
caps. Their prices can rise and fall substantially, although they have the
potential to offer attractive long-term returns.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUE INVESTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At any given time, there are companies whose stock prices are below the market
average, based on earnings, book value, or other financial measures. The value
investor examines these companies, searching for those that may rise in price
before other investors realize their worth.


                         18   Partners Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the stock market.
The market's behavior is unpredictable, particularly in the short term. Because
of this, the value of your investment will rise and fall, and you could lose
money.

To the extent that the portfolio emphasizes mid- or large-cap stocks, it takes
on the associated risks. Mid-cap stocks tend to be somewhat riskier than
large-cap stocks; over time, however, large-cap stocks may perform better or
less well than mid-cap stocks. At any given time, one or both groups of stocks
may be out of favor with investors. If the portfolio emphasizes either group of
stocks, its performance could suffer.

With a value approach, there is also the risk that stocks may remain undervalued
during a given period. This may happen because value stocks as a category lose
favor with investors compared to growth stocks or because the managers failed to
anticipate which stocks or industries would benefit from changing market or
economic conditions.

To the extent that the managers sell stocks before they reach their market peak,
the portfolio may miss out on opportunities for higher performance. Through
active trading, the portfolio may have a high turnover rate, which can mean
lower performance due to increased brokerage costs.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending, and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements.

Although they may add diversification, foreign securities can be riskier,
because foreign markets tend to be more volatile and currency exchange rates
fluctuate.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term investments. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
SOCIALLY RESPONSIVE PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WE BELIEVE THAT SOUND PRACTICES IN AREAS LIKE EMPLOMENT AND THE ENVIRONMENT CAN
HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON A COMPANY'S BOTTOM LINE. WE LOOK FOR COMPANIES THAT
MEET VALUE INVESTING CRITERIA AND ALSO SHOW A COMMITMENT TO UPHOLD OR IMPROVE
THEIR STANDARDS OF CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL BY INVESTING PRIMARILY IN
SECURITIES OF COMPANIES THAT MEET THE PORTFOLIO'S FINANCIAL CRITERIA AND SOCIAL
POLICY.

To pursue this goal, the portfolio invests mainly in common stocks of mid- to
large-capitalization companies. The portfolio seeks to reduce risk by investing
in a large number of companies across many different industries. The managers
initially screen companies using value investing criteria. They look for
undervalued companies with solid balance sheets, strong management, consistent
cash flows, and other value-related factors.

Among companies that meet these criteria, the managers look for those that show
leadership in three areas:

- -    environmental concerns

- -    diversity in the work force

- -    progressive employment and workplace practices

The managers typically also look at a company's record in public health and the
nature of its products. The managers judge firms on their corporate citizenship
overall, considering their accomplishments as well as their goals.

While these judgments are inevitably subjective, the portfolio has a strict
policy of avoiding companies that receive more than 5% of their earnings from
alcohol, tobacco, gambling, or weapons, as well as companies that sell
non-consumer products to the military or are involved in nuclear power.

The portfolio has the ability to change its goal without shareholder approval,
although it does not currently intend to do so.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOCIAL INVESTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Portfolios that follow social policies seek something in addition to economic
success. They are designed to allow investors to put their money to work and
also support companies that follow principles of good corporate citizenship.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALUE INVESTING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At any given time, there are companies whose stock prices are below the market
average, based on earnings, book value, or other financial measures. The value
investor examines these companies, searching for those that may rise in price
before other investors realize their worth.


                              22   Socially Responsive Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the stock market.
The market's behavior is unpredictable, particularly in the short term. Because
of this, the value of your investment will rise and fall, and you could lose
money. The portfolio's social policy could cause it to underperform similar
portfolios that do not have a social policy.

Among the reasons for this are:

- -    undervalued stocks that don't meet the social criteria could outperform
     those that do

- -    economic or political changes could make certain companies less attractive

     for investment

- -    the social policy could cause the fund to sell or avoid stocks that
     subsequently perform well

To the extent that the portfolio emphasizes mid- or large-cap stocks, it takes
on the associated risks. Mid-cap stocks tend to be somewhat riskier than
large-cap stocks; over time, however, large-cap stocks may perform better or
less well than mid-cap stocks. At any given time, one or both groups of stocks
may be out of favor with investors. If the portfolio emphasizes either group of
stocks, its performance could suffer.

With a value approach, there is also the risk that stocks may remain undervalued
during a given period. This may happen because value stocks as a category lose
favor with investors compared to growth stocks or because the managers failed to
anticipate which stocks or industries would benefit from changing market or
economic conditions.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending, and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements. These investments are not subject to the portfolio's social policy.

Although they may add diversification, foreign securities can be riskier,
because foreign markets tend to be more volatile and currency exchange rates
fluctuate.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term investments. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"IN IDENTIFYING ATTRACTIVE STOCKS FROM AMONG THE MANY THOUSANDS CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE U.S., IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A CLEAR STRATEGY. THIS
PORTFOLIO USES A COMBINATION OF GROWTH AND VALUE CRITERIA, WHILE ALSO
CONSIDERING LARGER SCALE ECONOMIC FACTORS."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL BY INVESTING PRIMARILY IN COMMON
STOCKS OF FOREIGN COMPANIES.

To pursue this goal, the portfolio invests mainly in foreign companies of any
size, including companies in developed and emerging industrialized markets. The
portfolio defines a foreign company as one that is organized outside of the
United States and conducts the majority of its business abroad.

The portfolio seeks to reduce risk by diversifying among many industries.
Although it has the flexibility to invest a significant portion of its assets in
one country or region, it generally intends to remain well-diversified across
countries and geographical regions.

In picking stocks, the manager looks for well-managed companies that show 
potential for above-average growth or whose stock prices are believed to be 
undervalued. Factors in identifying these firms may include strong 
fundamentals, such as attractive cash flows and balance sheets, as well as 
prices that are reasonable in light of projected earnings growth. The manager 
also considers the outlooks for various countries and regions around the 
world, examining economic, market, social, and political conditions.

The portfolio has the ability to change its goal without shareholder approval,
although it does not currently intend to do so.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN STOCKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many promising opportunities for investment outside the U.S. These
foreign markets often respond to different factors, and therefore tend to follow
cycles that are different from each other.

For this reason, many investors put a portion of their portfolios in foreign
investments as a way of gaining further diversification. While foreign stock
markets can be risky, investors gain an opportunity to add potential long-term
growth.


                              25   International Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in international
stock markets. The behavior of these markets is unpredictable, particularly in
the short term. Because of this, the value of your investment will rise and
fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money.

Foreign stocks are riskier than comparable U.S. stocks. This is in part because
foreign markets are less developed and foreign governments, economies, laws, tax
codes and securities firms may be less stable. There is also a higher chance
that key information will be unavailable, incomplete, or inaccurate. As a
result, foreign stocks can fluctuate more widely in price than comparable U.S.
stocks, and they may also be less liquid. These risks are generally greater in
emerging markets. Over a given period of time, foreign stocks may underperform
U.S. stocks -- sometimes for years. The portfolio could also underperform if the
manager invests in the wrong countries or regions.

Changes in currency exchange rates bring an added dimension of risk. Currency
fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses.

To the extent that the portfolio invests in growth stocks or in value stocks, it
takes on the risks associated with both types of stocks. Growth stocks may
suffer more than value stocks during market downturns, while value stocks may
remain undervalued. Either type of stock may underperform the other during a
given period.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

Borrowing, securities lending, and derivatives could create leverage, meaning
that certain gains or losses could be amplified, increasing share price
movements. The portfolio may use derivatives for hedging and for speculation.
Hedging could reduce the portfolio's losses from currency fluctuations, but
could also reduce its gains. A derivative instrument could fail to perform as
expected. Any speculative investment could cause a loss for the portfolio.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term investments. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

The portfolio pays the following fees to Neuberger Berman Management, all

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
LIMITED MATURITY BOND PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"HISTORICALLY, LIMITED MATURITY PORTFOLIOS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER MUCH OF THE
YIELD AVAILABLE IN THE INVESTMENT-GRADE BOND MARKET WHILE OFFERING REDUCED SHARE
PRICE FLUCTUATION. WITH THIS IN MIND, WE STRIVE TO MANAGE THE PORTFOLIO WITH AN
EMPHASIS ON YIELD AND RISK MANAGEMENT."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS THE HIGHEST AVAILABLE CURENT INCOME CONSISTENT WITH
LIQUIDITY AND LOW RISK TO PRINCIPAL; TOTAL RETURN IS SECONDARY GOAL.

To pursue these goals, the portfolio invests mainly in investment-grade bonds
and other debt securities from U.S. government and corporate issuers. These may
include mortgage- and asset-backed securities. To enhance yield and add
diversification, the portfolio may invest up to 10% of net assets in securities
that are below investment grade, provided that, at the time of purchase, they
are rated at least B by Moody's or Standard and Poor's or, if unrated by either
of these, are believed by the manager to be of comparable quality.

The portfolio seeks to reduce credit risk by diversifying among many issuers and
different types of securities. Although it may invest in securities of any
maturity, under normal circumstances it maintains an average portfolio
duration of four years or less. The managers monitor national trends in the
corporate and government securities markets, including a range of economic
and financial factors.

The managers look for securities that appear underpriced compared to securities
of similar structure and credit quality, and securities that appear likely to
have their credit ratings raised. In choosing lower-rated securities, the
managers look for bonds from issuers whose financial health appears
comparatively strong but that are smaller or less well known to investors.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DURATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Duration is a measurement of a bond investment's sensitivity to changes in
interest rates. Typically, with a 1% rise in interest rates, an investment's
value may be expected to fall approximately 1% for each year of its duration.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOND RATINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most large issuers obtain ratings for their bonds from one or more independent
rating agencies, although many bonds of all quality levels remain unrated.

Bonds in the top four categories of credit quality are considered investment
grade. Bonds in the fifth or sixth category (BB/Ba or B) are called lower-rated,
or non-investment-grade. Many of these "junk bonds" are actually issued by
reputable companies, and offer attractive yields.

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on what happens in the
investment-grade bond market. The value of your investment will rise and fall,
and you could lose money. The portfolio's yield and total return will change
with interest rate movements. When interest rates rise, the portfolio's share
price will typically fall.

The portfolio's sensitivity to this risk will increase with any increase in the
fund's duration. A downgrade or default affecting any of the portfolio's
securities would affect the portfolio's performance. Performance could also be
affected if unexpected interest rate trends cause the portfolio's mortgage- or
asset-backed securities to be paid off substantially earlier or later than
expected.

Over time, the portfolio may produce a lower return than stock investments and
less conservative bond investments. Although over the long term the portfolio's
average performance has outpaced inflation, it may not always do so. Through
active trading, the portfolio may have a high turnover rate, which can mean
higher taxable distributions and increased transaction costs.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolio may use certain practices and securities involving additional
risks.

The use of certain derivatives to hedge interest rate risk or produce income
could affect portfolio performance if the derivatives do not perform as
expected.

Foreign securities could add to the ups and downs in the portfolio's share
price, because foreign markets tend to be more volatile and currency exchange
rates fluctuate.

When the portfolio anticipates unusual market or other conditions, it may
temporarily depart from its goal and invest substantially in high-quality
short-term securities. This could help the portfolio avoid losses but may mean
lost opportunities.

MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THEODORE P. GIULIANO, a Vice President and Director of Neuberger Berman
Management and a principal of Neuberger Berman, LLC, is the manager of the Fixed
Income Group of Neuberger Berman, which he helped establish in 1984. He has
co-managed the portfolio's assets since its inception.

CATHERINE WATERWORTH, a Vice President of Neuberger Berman Management, has
co-managed the portfolio's assets since joining the firm in December 1998. She
was a managing director of a major investment firm from 1995-98 and a senior
officer at another firm prior to that.

NEUBERGER BERMAN MANAGEMENT is the portfolio's investment manager,
administrator, and distributor. It engages Neuberger Berman, LLC as sub-adviser
to provide management and related services. For the 12 months ended 12/31/98,
the management/ administration fees paid to Neuberger Berman Management were
0.65% of average daily net assets.

The portfolio's management agreements are contracts and may be altered under
certain circumstances. Neuberger Berman Management has agreed to limit the
portfolio's annual operating expenses when certain expenses exceed a specified
limit. This agreement is voluntary and may be terminated. See the Statement of
Additional Information for more details.

NEUBERGER BERMAN ADVISERS MANAGEMENT TRUST
LIQUID ASSET PORTFOLIO
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"IN MANAGING THIS PORTFOLIO WE FOCUS ON THE THREE MAIN GOALS INVESTORS LOOK FOR
IN A MONEY MARKET INVESTMENT: LIQUIDITY, STABILITY AND HIGH CURRENT INCOME. AT
THE SAME TIME, WE SEEK TO MAINTAIN HIGH STANDARDS FOR CREDIT QUALITY, IN SOME
CASES HIGHER THAN REQUIRED BY LAW."

GOAL & STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE PORTFOLIO SEEKS THE HIGHEST AVAILABLE CURENT INCOME CONSISTENT WITH SAFETY
AND LIQUIDITY.

To pursue this goal, the portfolio invests in high quality money market 
securities. These securities may be from U.S. or foreign issuers, including 
governments and their agencies, banks, and corporations, but in all cases 
must be denominated in U.S. dollars. The portfolio may invest significantly 
in commercial paper, and may invest more than 25% of total assets in CDs and 
similar time deposits and banker's acceptances issued by U.S. banks. The 
portfolio may also invest in repurchase agreements.

The portfolio seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and seeks to reduce
credit risk by diversifying among many issuers of money market securities. The
managers monitor a range of economic and financial factors, in order to weigh
the yields of money market securities of various maturities against their levels
of interest rate and credit risk. Based on their analysis, the managers invest
the portfolio's assets in a mix of money market securities that is intended to
provide as high a yield as possible without violating the portfolio's credit
quality policies or jeopardizing the stability of its share price.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MONEY MARKET FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Money market funds are subject to federal regulations designed to help maintain
liquidity and a stable share price. The regulations set strict standards for
maturity (397 days or less for individual securities, 90 days or less on average
for the portfolio overall).

The regulations also require money market funds to limit investments to the top
two rating categories of credit quality. This portfolio typically exceeds this
requirement by investing only in top-tier securities.


                                   32   Liquid Asset Portfolio
<PAGE>

MAIN RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the portfolio's performance depends on interest rates. When interest
rates fall, the portfolio's yields will typically fall as well. The portfolio's
emphasis on top-tier credit quality securities may mean that its yields are
somewhat lower than those available from certain other money market mutual
funds.

Over time, the portfolio may produce a lower return than bond or stock
investments. Although historically the portfolio's yield has outpaced inflation,
it may not always do so.

Because the portfolio may invest more than 25% of total assets in securities
issued by banks, its performance could be affected by factors influencing the
health of the banking industry. These may include economic trends, industry
competition and governmental actions, as well as factors affecting the financial
stability of borrowers.

The bank securities in which the portfolio may invest typically are not insured
by the federal government. Securities that do not represent deposits have lower
priority in the bank's capital structure than those that do.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER RISKS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although the portfolio has maintained a stable share price since its inception,
the share price could fluctuate, meaning that there is a chance that you could
lose money by investing in the portfolio.

While the portfolio may hold securities that carry U.S. government guarantees,
these guarantees do not extend to shares of the portfolio itself.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The information on this page provides different measures of the portfolio's
total return. Total return includes the effect of distributions as well as
changes in share price, if any should occur. The figures assume that all
distributions were reinvested in the portfolio, and include all portfolio
expenses.

Because the portfolio's share price remained stable throughout the periods
described on this page, the portfolio's yield over a given period is the same as
its total return.

To obtain the portfolio's current yield, call 1-800-XXX-XXXX. The current yield
is the portfolio's net income over a recent seven-day period expressed as an
annual rate of return.

(1)  May not accord with the change in aggregate gains and losses in securities
     for the year because of the timing of sales and repurchases of portfolio
     shares.

(2)  Shows what this ratio would have been if there had been no expense
     reimbursement.

(3)  Shows what expenses would have been if there had been no expense offset
     arrangements. This calculation is required for all periods ending after
     9/1/95.

(4)  Would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management had not reimbursed
     certain expenses. Does not reflect charges and other expenses that apply to
     the separate account or the related insurance policies.

MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THEODORE P. GIULIANO, a Vice President and Director of Neuberger Berman
Management and a principal of Neuberger Berman, LLC, is the manager of the Fixed
Income Group of Neuberger Berman, which he helped establish in 1984. He has
co-managed the portfolio's assets since its inception.

JOSEPHINE MAHANEY is a Vice President of Neuberger Berman Management. She joined
the firm in 1976 and has co-managed the portfolio's assets since 1992.

NEUBERGER BERMAN MANAGEMENT is the portfolio's investment manager,
administrator, and distributor. It engages Neuberger Berman, LLC as sub-adviser
to provide management and related services. For the 12 months ended 12/31/98,
the management/ administration fees paid to Neuberger Berman Management were
0.65% of average daily net assets.

The portfolio's management agreements are contracts and may be altered under
certain circumstances. Neuberger Berman Management has agreed to limit the
portfolio's annual operating expenses when certain expenses exceed a specified
limit. This agreement is voluntary and may be terminated. See the Statement of
Additional Information for more details.

YOUR INVESTMENT

BUYING AND SELLING
PORTFOLIO SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The portfolios described in this prospectus are designed for use with certain
variable insurance policies and, in the case of Balanced Portfolio, certain
qualified plans as well. Because shares of the portfolios are held by the
insurance companies or qualified plans involved, you will need to follow the
instructions provided by your insurance company or qualified plan for matters
involving allocations to these portfolios.

Under certain circumstances, the portfolios reserve the right to:

- -    suspend the offering of shares

- -    reject any investment order

- -    satisfy an order to sell portfolio shares with securities rather than cash,
     for certain very large orders

- -    suspend or postpone the redemption of shares on days when trading on the

New York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the SEC

Because the portfolios are offered to different insurance companies and for 
different types of variable contracts -- annuities and life insurance -- and 
to qualified plans, groups with different interests will share the 
portfolios. Due to differences of tax treatment and other considerations 
among these shareholders, it is possible (although not likely) that the 
interests of the shareholders might sometimes be in conflict. In addition, the
portfolios' master/feeder structure could lead to a conflict between the 
interests of the portfolio shareholders and the interests in other investors 
in the master fund's series. For these reasons, the trustees of the 
portfolios watch for the existence of any material irreconcilable conflicts 
and will determine what action, if any, should be taken in the event of a 
conflict. If there is a conflict, it is possible that to resolve it, one or 
more separate accounts or qualified plans might be compelled to withdraw its 
investment in a portfolio. While this might resolve the conflict, it also 
might force the portfolio to sell securities at disadvantageous prices.

SHARE PRICES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you buy and sell shares of a portfolio, the share price is that portfolio's
net asset value per share.

The portfolios are open for business every day the New York Stock Exchange is 
open. In general, every buy or sell request you place will go through at the 
next share price to be calculated after your request has been accepted; check 
with your insurance company or plan administrator to find out by what time 
your transaction request must be received in order to be processed the same 
day. Each portfolio normally calculates its share price as of the end of 
regular trading on the Exchange on business days, usually 4:00 p.m. eastern 
time. Depending on when your insurance company or plan administrator accepts 
transaction requests, it's possible that the portfolio's share price could 
change on days when you are unable to buy or sell shares. Because foreign 
markets may be open on days when U.S. markets are closed, the value of 
foreign securities owned by a portfolio could change on days when you can't 
buy or sell portfolio shares. The portfolio's share price, however, will not 
change until the next time it is calculated.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHARE PRICE CALCULATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A portfolio's share price is the total value of its assets minus its
liabilities, divided by the total number of shares. Because the value of a
portfolio's securities changes every day, the share price usually changes as
well (an exception is the Liquid Asset Portfolio, which seeks to maintain a
stable $1.00 share price).

The portfolios value equity securities by using market prices, and value debt 
securities using bid quotations from independent pricing services or 
principal market makers. The portfolios may value short-term securities with 
remaining maturities of less than 60 days at cost; these values, when 
combined with interest earned, approximate market value. Securities in the 
Liquid Asset Portfolio are valued using a constant amortization method that 
is in keeping with the fund's efforts to maintain a stable share price.

In rare cases, events that occur after makets have closed may render certain
prices unreliable. When a portfolio believes a market price does not reflect a
security's true value, the portfolio may substitute for the market price a
fair-value estimate derived through methods approved by its trustees. A
portfolio may also use these methods to value certain types of illiquid
securities.

PORTFOLIO STRUCTURE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each of the portfolios in this prospectus uses a master/feeder structure. 
Rather than investing directly in securities, each portfolio is a feeder 
portfolio, meaning that it invests in a corresponding master portfolio, known 
as a series. The series in turn invests in securities, using the strategies 
described in this prospectus. One potential benefit of this structure may be 
lower costs, since the expenses of the series can be shared with any other 
feeder portfolios. As of December 31, 1998 each active portfolio is the only 
investor in its corresponding series. In this prospectus we have used the 
word "portfolio" to mean a feeder portfolio and its series. Costs for a 
feeder portfolio include the feeder's own costs plus its share of the 
corresponding series' costs.

While Neuberger Berman Management and Neuberger Berman LLC may serve as the 
adviser or sub-adviser of other mutual funds that have similar names, goals, 
and strategies as some of the the portfolios, these other funds are not part 
of the portfolios' master feeder structure. There may be certain differences 
between the portfolios and these other funds in matters such as size, cash 
flow patterns and tax matters, among others. As a result, there could also 
be differences in performance.

For reasons relating to costs or a change in investment goal, among others,
a feeder portfolio could switch to another series or decide to manage its assets
itself. No portfolio in this prospectus is currently contemplating such a move.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The information below is only a summary of some of the important Federal tax
considerations generally affecting the portfolios and their shareholders; for a
more detailed discussion, request a copy of the Statement of Additional
Information (see back cover). Also, you may want to consult your tax
professional. Everyone's tax situation is different, and your professional
should be able to help you answer any questions you may have.

DISTRIBUTIONS -- Each portfolio pays out to shareholders of record any net 
income and net capital gains. Ordinarily, the portfolios make distributions 
once a year (in February), except for the Liquid Asset Portfolio, which 
ordinarily declares income dividends once a month. All dividends and other 
distributions received by shareholders of record are automatically reinvested 
in portfolio shares.

HOW DISTRIBUTIONS AND TRANSACTIONS ARE TAXED -- Dividends and other 
distributions made by a portfolio, as well as transactions in portfolio 
shares, are taxable, if at all, to the extent described in your variable 
contract prospectus or qualified plan documentation. Consult your variable 
contract prospectus or qualified plan documents.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSURANCE EXPENSES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fees and policies outlined in this prospectus are set by the portfolios and
by Neuberger Berman Management. The fee information here does not include the
fees and expenses charged by your insurance company under your variable
contract; for those fees, you will need to see the prospectus for your policy.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each portfolio has a non-fee distribution plan that recognizes that Neuberger
Berman Management may use its own resources, including profits that derive from
administration fees paid by the portfolios, to pay expenses associated with the
distribution of portfolio shares.

Neuberger Berman Management may also pay insurance companies for services they
provide to current and prospective variable contract owners, such as providing
information about the portfolios and delivering portfolio documents, among other
services. 

Neuberger Berman Management does not receive any separate fees from the 
portfolios for making these payments.

<PAGE>

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OTHER TAX-RELATED CONSIDERATIONS -- In unusual circumstances, there may be a
risk to you of special tax liabilities from an investment in the portfolios.
Because the portfolios are offered through certain variable insurance policies
and qualified plans, they are subject to special diversification standards
beyond those that normally apply to mutual funds. If the underlying assets of a
portfolio fail to meet the special standards, you could be subject to adverse
tax consequences -- for example, some of the income earned by a portfolio could
generate a current tax liability.

The managers of each portfolios' assets intend to comply with the special
diversification requirements. It is possible that their attempts to comply may
at times call for decisions that would somewhat reduce investment performance. 

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EURO AND YEAR 2000 ISSUES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like other mutual funds, the portfolios could be affected by problems relating
to the conversion of European currencies into the Euro beginning 1/1/99 and the
ability of computer systems to recognize the year 2000.

At Neuberger Berman, we are taking steps to ensure that our own computer systems
are compliant with Euro and Year 2000 issues and to determine that the systems
used by our major service providers are also compliant. We are also making
efforts to determine whether companies whose securities are owned by the
portfolios will be affected by either issue.

At the same time, it is impossible to know in advance whether these problems,
which could disrupt fund operations and investments if uncorrected, have been
adequately addressed.

                             INVESTMENT INFORMATION

         Each Portfolio is a separate  series of the Trust, a Delaware  business
trust  registered  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") as a
diversified,  open-end  management  investment  company and organized on May 23,
1994. Each Portfolio seeks its investment  objective by investing all of its net
investable  assets  in the  corresponding  Series  of  Advisers  Managers  Trust
("Managers Trust"),  which has an investment  objective identical to, and a name
similar to, that of the Portfolio.  Each Series, in turn,  invests in securities
in accordance with an investment  objective,  policies and limitations identical
to those of its corresponding  Portfolio.  (The Trust and Managers Trust,  which
also is a diversified,  open-end  management  investment  company,  are together
referred to below as the  "Trusts.") All Series of Managers Trust are managed by
Neuberger Berman Management Incorporated ("NB Management").

         The following information  supplements the discussion in the Prospectus
of the investment objective, policies and limitations of each Portfolio and each
Series. Unless otherwise specified,  those investment  objectives,  policies and
limitations  are not fundamental and may be changed by the trustees of the Trust
and Managers Trust without  shareholder  approval.  The  fundamental  investment
objectives,  policies  and  limitations  of a  Portfolio  or a Series may not be
changed  without  the  approval  of the lesser of: (1) 67% of the total units of
beneficial  interest  ("shares")  of the  Portfolio or Series  represented  at a
meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding Portfolio or Series shares are
represented;  or (2) a majority of the  outstanding  shares of the  Portfolio or
Series.  These  percentages  are required by the Investment  Company Act of 1940
("1940  Act") and are  referred  to in this SAI as a "1940 Act  majority  vote."
Whenever  a  Portfolio  is  called  upon to vote on a change  in the  investment
objective or a fundamental  investment policy or limitation of its corresponding
Series,  the Portfolio casts its votes thereon in proportion to the votes of its
shareholders at a meeting thereof called for that purpose.

Investment Policies and Limitations

         Each  Portfolio has the following  fundamental  investment  policy,  to
enable it to invest in its corresponding Series:

         Notwithstanding  any  other  investment  policy of the  Portfolio,  the
         Portfolio may invest all of its net investable assets (cash, securities
         and  receivables  relating to  securities)  in an  open-end  management
         investment company having substantially the same investment  objective,
         policies and limitations as the Portfolio.

         All  other  fundamental  and  non-fundamental   investment  objectives,
policies  and  limitations  of each  Portfolio  are  identical  to  those of its
corresponding Series. Therefore, although the following discusses the investment
objectives,  policies and limitations of the Series, it applies equally to their
corresponding Portfolios.

         For  purposes  of  the  investment  limitation  on  concentration  in a
particular  industry,  NB  Management  determines  the  "issuer"  of a municipal
obligation  that  is  not a  general  obligation  note  or  bond  based  on  the
obligation's  characteristics.  The most significant of these characteristics is
the source of funds for the  repayment of  principal  and payment of interest on
the obligation. If an obligation is backed by an irrevocable letter of credit or
other  guarantee,  without which the  obligation  would not qualify for purchase
under a Series' quality restrictions,  the issuer of the letter of credit or the
guarantee is considered an issuer of the obligation.  If an obligation meets the
quality  restrictions of a Series without credit support,  the Series treats the
commercial developer or the industrial user, rather than the governmental entity
or the  guarantor,  as the issuer of the  obligation,  even if the obligation is
backed by a letter of credit or other guarantee.  The Liquid Asset Portfolio and
its  corresponding  Series determine the "issuer" of a municipal  obligation for
purposes  of its  policy  on  industry  concentration  in  accordance  with  the
principles of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Also for purposes of the  investment
limitation on concentration in a particular  industry,  both mortgage-backed and
asset-backed   securities  are  grouped   together  as  a  single  industry  and
certificates  of deposit ("CD") is interpreted to include  similar types of time
deposits.

         Except for the limitation on borrowing and, with respect to AMT Limited
Maturity Bond  Investments and AMT Liquid Asset  Investments,  the limitation on
illiquid securities, any maximum percentage of securities or assets contained in
any investment policy or limitation will not be considered to be exceeded unless
the  percentage  limitation  is exceeded  immediately  after,  and because of, a
transaction  by a Series.  If events  subsequent  to a  transaction  result in a
Series exceeding the percentage  limitation on borrowing or illiquid securities,
NB Management will take appropriate steps to reduce the percentage of borrowings
or the percentage held in illiquid securities, as may be required by law, within
a reasonable amount of time.

         The Series'  fundamental  investment  policies and  limitations  are as
follows:

         1........Borrowing.  Each  Series may not borrow  money,  except that a
Series may (i) borrow money from banks for  temporary or emergency  purposes and
not for leveraging or investment (except for AMT International Investments which
may borrow for leveraging or investment) and (ii) enter into reverse  repurchase
agreements  for any purpose;  provided that (i) and (ii) in  combination  do not
exceed 33-1/3% of the value of its total assets  (including the amount borrowed)
less  liabilities  (other than  borrowings).  If at any time  borrowings  exceed
33-1/3%  of the value of a Series'  total  assets,  the Series  will  reduce its
borrowings  within  three days  (excluding  Sundays and  holidays) to the extent
necessary to comply with the 33-1/3% limitation.

         2........Commodities. Each Series may not purchase physical commodities
or contracts thereon, unless acquired as a result of the ownership of securities
or instruments, but this restriction shall not prohibit a Series from purchasing
futures  contracts  or  options   (including  options  on  futures  and  foreign
currencies and forward  contracts but excluding  options or futures contracts on
physical commodities) or from investing in securities of any kind.

         For  purposes  of the  limitations  on  commodities,  the Series do not
consider foreign currencies or forward contracts to be physical commodities.

         3........Diversification.  Each Series may not,  with respect to 75% of
the value of its total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  Government,  or any of its agencies
or  instrumentalities)  if,  as a  result,  (i) more than 5% of the value of the
Series' total assets would be invested in the  securities of that issuer or (ii)
the Series would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that
issuer.

         4........Industry  Concentration.  Each  Series  may not  purchase  any
security  if, as a result,  25% or more of its total  assets  (taken at  current
value) would be invested in the  securities  of issuers  having their  principal
business  activities in the same  industry.  This  limitation  does not apply to
purchases of (i) the securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government,  or
its agencies or instrumentalities, or (ii) investments by all Series (except AMT
Partners  Investments  and AMT  International  Investments)  in  certificates of
deposit or bankers' acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks.

         5........Lending.  Each  Series may not lend any  security  or make any
other  loan if, as a result,  more than  33-1/3% of its total  assets  (taken at
current  value) would be lent to other  parties,  except in accordance  with its
investment objective,  policies, and limitations,  (i) through the purchase of a
portion  of an issue  of debt  securities,  or (ii) by  engaging  in  repurchase
agreements.

         6........Real  Estate.  Each Series may not purchase real estate unless
acquired as a result of the  ownership of securities  or  instruments,  but this
restriction  shall not prohibit a Series from  purchasing  securities  issued by
entities or  investment  vehicles  that own or deal in real estate or  interests
therein, or instruments secured by real estate or interests therein.

         7........Senior   Securities.   Each   Series  may  not  issue   senior
securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act.
                 

         8........Underwriting.  Each Series may not  underwrite  securities  of
other  issuers,  except to the extent that a Series,  in  disposing of portfolio
securities,  may be  deemed  to be an  underwriter  within  the  meaning  of the
Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act").

         The following non-fundamental investment policies and limitations apply
to all Series unless otherwise indicated.

         1........Borrowing.  (All Series except AMT International Investments).
Each Series may not purchase securities if outstanding borrowings, including any
reverse repurchase agreements, exceed 5% of its total assets.

         2........Lending.  Except  for  the  purchase  of debt  securities  and
engaging in repurchase agreements, each Series may not make any loans other than
securities loans.

         3........Margin  Transactions.  Each Series may not purchase securities
on margin  from  brokers or other  lenders  except that a Series may obtain such
short-term   credits  as  are   necessary   for  the   clearance  of  securities
transactions.  For all Series  (except  AMT  Liquid  Asset  Investments)  margin
payments in connection  with  transactions  in futures  contracts and options on
futures  contracts shall not constitute the purchase of securities on margin and
shall not be deemed to violate the foregoing limitation.

         4........Illiquid Securities. Each Series may not purchase any security
if, as a result, more than 15% (10% in the case of AMT Liquid Asset Investments)
of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities.  Illiquid securities
include  securities that cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course
of  business  for  approximately  the  amount at which the Series has valued the
securities, such as repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

         5........Investments    in   Any   One   Issuer.   (AMT   International
Investments).  At the close of each quarter of the Series'  taxable year, (i) no
more than 25% of its total assets will be invested in the securities of a single
issuer,  and (ii) with regard to 50% of its total assets, no more than 5% of its
total  assets will be  invested  in the  securities  of a single  issuer.  These
limitations  do not apply to U.S.  government  securities,  as  defined  for tax
purposes, or securities of another regulated investment company.

         (AMT  Liquid  Asset  Investments).  The  Series  may not  purchase  the
securities of any one issuer (other than U.S.  Government and Agency  Securities
or  securities  subject  to a  guarantee  issued by a  non-controlled  person as
defined  in Rule 2a-7  under the 1940 Act) if, as a result,  more than 5% of the
Series' total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer.

         6........Foreign  Securities.  (AMT  Guardian,  Partners,  and Socially
Responsive Investments).  These Series may not invest more than 10% of the value
of their total  assets in  securities  of foreign  issuers,  provided  that this
limitation shall not apply to foreign  securities  denominated in U.S.  dollars,
including American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs").

         7........Pledging.  (AMT  Guardian  Investments).  The  Series  may not
pledge or  hypothecate  any of its assets,  except that the Series may pledge or
hypothecate  up to 5% of its total assets in connection  with its entry into any
agreement or  arrangement  pursuant to which a bank furnishes a letter of credit
to  collateralize a capital  commitment made by the Series to a mutual insurance
company of which the Series is a member.

         The other Series are not subject to any  restrictions  on their ability
to pledge or  hypothecate  assets  and may do so in  connection  with  permitted
borrowings.

         In addition to the preceding  non-fundamental  investment  policies and
limitations,  AMT Liquid Asset  Investments has adopted  procedures  pursuant to
Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act which impose certain  restrictions  and limitations
on the Series' investments.

         AMT Growth and Partners  Investments do not intend to invest in futures
contracts and options thereon during the coming year. In addition,  although the
Series do not have policies  limiting  their  investment in warrants,  no Series
currently  intends to invest in warrants unless acquired in units or attached to
securities.

         Temporary Defensive Positions.

         For  temporary  defensive  purposes,  each Series  (except AMT Socially
Responsive  and  International  Investments)  may invest up to 100% of its total
assets in cash and cash  equivalents,  U.S.  Government  and Agency  Securities,
commercial  paper  and  certain  other  money  market  instruments,  as  well as
repurchase  agreements  collateralized  by the foregoing.  AMT Limited  Maturity
Bond,  Balanced (debt securities portion) and Liquid Asset Investments may adopt
shorter than normal weighted  average  maturities or durations.  Yields on these
securities are generally  lower than yields  available on the  lower-rated  debt
securities in which AMT Limited  Maturity Bond and AMT Balanced  (debt  portion)
Investments normally invests.

         Any part of AMT Socially Responsive Investments' assets may be retained
temporarily  in investment  grade fixed income  securities  of  non-governmental
issuers,  U.S. Government and Agency Securities,  repurchase  agreements,  money
market  instruments,  commercial  paper,  and cash and cash  equivalents when NB
Management  believes that significant  adverse market,  economic  political,  or
other  circumstances  require  prompt  action to avoid  losses.  Generally,  the
foregoing  temporary  investments  for AMT Socially  Responsive  Investments are
selected with a concern for the social impact of each investment.

         For temporary  defensive  purposes,  AMT International  Investments may
invest  up  to  100%  of  its  total  assets  in  short-term  foreign  and  U.S.
investments, such as cash or cash equivalents, commercial paper, short-term bank
obligations,  government and agency securities,  and repurchase agreements.  AMT
International  Investments  may also  invest  in such  instruments  to  increase
liquidity or to provide collateral to be held in segregated accounts.

Rating Agencies

         As discussed  in the  Prospectus,  each Series may purchase  securities
rated by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group  ("S&P"),  Moody's  Investors  Service,
Inc.  ("Moody's"),   or  any  other  nationally  recognized  statistical  rating
organization ("NRSRO").  The ratings of an NRSRO represent its opinion as to the
quality of securities it undertakes to rate.  Ratings are not absolute standards
of quality;  consequently,  securities with the same maturity, coupon and rating
may have  different  yields.  Although the Series may rely on the ratings of any
NRSRO, the Series mainly refer to ratings assigned by S&P and Moody's, which are
described  in  Appendix A to this SAI.  The  Series  may also  invest in unrated
securities  that are deemed  comparable in quality by NB Management to the rated
securities in which the Series may permissibly invest.

Investment Insight

         Neuberger  Berman's  commitment  to its asset  management  approach  is
reflected in the more than $125 million the organization's principals, employees
and their families have invested in the Neuberger Berman mutual funds.

         AMT Limited  Maturity  Bond,  Balanced  (debt  securities  portion) and
Liquid Asset  Investments  are designed with varying  degrees of risk and return
based on the duration and/or maturity of each Series. Duration measures a bond's
exposure to interest rate risk.  Duration  incorporates  a bond's yield,  coupon
interest  payments,  final  maturity  and call  features  into one  measure.  In
general,  the longer you extend a bond's  duration,  the greater  its  potential
return and exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

         For example,  AMT Liquid Asset  Investments is a money market fund with
average  portfolio  maturity  of up to 90 days.  AMT Limited  Maturity  Bond and
Balanced  (debt  securities  portion)  Investments  seek a higher income but can
experience  more  price  fluctuation.  Their  portfolio  of bonds  has a maximum
average  duration  of four  years.  A more  detailed  discussion  of each Series
follows.  In all cases,  these  Series  pursue  attractive  current  income with
varying  levels of risk to principal  and differ  according to their  investment
guidelines.  These guidelines  include maturity or duration,  type of bonds, and
the credit quality of these bonds.

AMT Growth Investments; AMT Balanced Investments (equity securities portion)

         The portfolio co-managers of AMT Growth and Balanced (equity securities
portion) Investments love surprises - positive earnings surprises that is. Their
extensive  research has revealed that  historically the stocks of companies that
consistently  exceeded  consensus  earnings  estimates  tended  to  be  terrific
performers.  They screen the mid-cap  growth  stock  universe to isolate  stocks
whose most recent earnings have beat the Street's  expectations.  They then roll
up their sleeves and, through diligent fundamental research,  strive to identify
those companies most likely to record a string of positive  earnings  surprises.
Their goal is to invest today in the fast growing mid-sized  companies that will
comprise tomorrow's Fortune 500.

         The  co-managers  explain,  "Let us begin by saying we are growth stock
investors  in the  purest  sense  of the  term.  We want to own  the  stocks  of
companies that are growing  earnings faster than the average  American  business
and ideally,  faster than the competitors in their  respective  industries." The
co-managers  explain that they are  particularly  biased towards  companies that
have consistently beaten consensus earnings estimates.  Their extensive research
has  revealed  that stocks whose  earnings  consistently  exceeded  expectations
offered greater potential for long-term capital appreciation.

         The co-managers  focus their research  efforts on mid-cap stocks in new
and/or rapidly evolving industries. However, the Series can invest in securities
of companies of any  capitalization  level.  The mid-cap  growth  sector is less
widely followed by Wall Street  analysts and therefore,  less efficient than the
large-cap  stock market.  Considering the currently high valuations of large-cap
growth stocks relative to mid-cap growth stocks with what the co-managers  think
is comparable or, in many cases, better earnings growth potential,  they believe
the Series are particularly well positioned in today's market.

         The Series  now use the  Russell  Midcap(TM)  Index as a  benchmark  in
addition  to the S&P "500".  The Series  regard  mid-cap  companies  to be those
companies  with market  capitalizations  that, at the time of  investment,  fall
within  the  capitalization  range  of the  Russell  Midcap(TM)  Index  as  last
announced by the Frank Russell Company before the date of this SAI. For purposes
of this SAI,  that  range  was  approximately  $1.4  billion  to $10.3  billion.
Companies  whose market  capitalizations  move out of this  mid-cap  range after
purchase continue to be considered mid-cap companies for purposes of the Series'
investment  program.  The  Series do not follow a policy of active  trading  for
short-term profits.

         They  reiterate,  "Let us once  again  emphasize  we are  growth  stock
investors.  But,  there is a value  component to our discipline as well. We just
define value  differently."  The kind of fast growth  companies the  co-managers
favor  generally do not trade at below  market  average  price/earnings  ratios.
However,  they  often  trade at very  reasonable  multiples  relative  to annual
earnings  growth  rates.  Given  the  choice  between  two good  companies  with
comparable earnings growth rates, the co-managers will select the one trading at
the lower multiple to earnings growth.

         "We are dispassionate  sellers," say the co-managers.  "If a stock does
not live up to our  earnings  expectations  or if we believe its  valuation  has
become excessive,  we will sell and direct the assets to another  opportunity we
find more attractive.  We will maintain a broadly  diversified  portfolio rather
than heavily  concentrating  our  holdings in just a few of the fastest  growing
industry groups."

AMT Guardian Investments

         AMT  Guardian   Investments   subscribes  to  the  same   stock-picking
philosophy  followed  since Roy R.  Neuberger  founded a similar  mutual fund in
1950.

         It's no great  trick for a mutual fund to make money when the market is
rising.  The tide that lifts stock values will carry most funds along.  The true
test of  management is its ability to make money even when the market is flat or
declining.

         The portfolio  co-managers place a high premium on being  knowledgeable
about the companies whose stocks they buy. That knowledge is important,  because
sometimes  it takes  courage  to buy  stocks  that the  rest of the  market  has
forsaken. The managers would rather buy an undervalued stock because they expect
it to become  fairly  valued  than buy one  fairly  valued  and hope it  becomes
overvalued.  The  managers  tend to buy stocks that are out of favor,  believing
that an investor is not going to get great  companies at great  valuations  when
the market perception is great.

         Consistent Value Style

         Guardian is a large cap value fund that searches for:

o        Established high-quality companies
o        Low price/earnings ratios
o        Strong balance sheets
o        Solid management

         Disciplined, Large-Cap Value Orientation

         As part  of its  stock  selection  process,  the  portfolio  pursues  a
disciplined, value-driven investment style, which is Neuberger Berman's historic
strength.  Specifically,  the portfolio  co-managers  seek  large-capitalization
companies whose stock prices are substantially  undervalued.  Characteristics of
these firms may  include:  solid  balance  sheets,  above-average  returns,  low
valuations, and consistent earnings.

         Bottom-Up Approach to Stock Selection

         The managers  believe cheap stocks are plentiful,  but true  investment
bargains  are a rare find.  To  uncover  them,  they scour a universe  of stocks
consisting of the bottom 20% of the market in terms of  valuation.  Those deemed
by the  managers as  inexpensive  and poised for a  turnaround  are placed under
consideration.   Potential   investment   candidates  are   financially   sound,
well-managed companies that are undervalued relative to their earnings potential
and the market as a whole.

         A Broad View of Risk Management

         Managing risk involves  carefully  monitoring the way the stocks in the
portfolio react to one another as well as to outside factors. Companies that are
in completely different sectors may in fact react similarly to certain economic,
market  or   international   events.   In  their   efforts  to  consider   these
relationships,  the managers use quantitative analysis to evaluate these factors
and their  impact on the overall  portfolio.  It is a process  they believe is a
crucial  component  in  controlling  risk and one that  evolves over time as new
holdings are introduced to the portfolio.

         A Strong Sell Discipline

         The managers will  generally  make an initial  investment in a stock of
between 1-4% of total net assets. A higher weighting indicates that they believe
the company has an "edge" over Wall Street  analysts,  or they  believe it is an
uncovered value that others may have  overlooked.  Once a stock grows beyond the
high side of that range, gains are harvested and the holding is reduced to about
3% of total net assets.

AMT International Investments

         Equity portfolios  consisting solely of domestic investments  generally
have not enjoyed the higher returns foreign  opportunities  can offer.  Over the
past thirty  years,  for  example,  the  average  growth  rates of many  foreign
economies  have  out-paced  that of the United  States.  While the United States
accounted for almost 66% of the world's total securities  market  capitalization
in 1970,  it accounted  for less than 30% of that total at the end of 1996 -- or
less  than a third of the  dollar  value of the  world's  available  stocks  and
bonds.1

         Over time, a number of international  equity markets have  outperformed
their U.S. counterpart.  Although there are no guarantees, foreign markets could
continue to provide attractive investment opportunities.

         In addition,  according to Morgan Stanley  Capital  International,  the
leading  companies in any given sector are not always  U.S.-based.  For example,
all ten of the largest construction companies, nine of the ten largest banks and
seven of the ten largest  automobile  companies  are based outside of the United
States.

         A principal  advantage  of  investing  overseas is  diversification.  A
diversified  portfolio  gives  investors  the  opportunity  to pursue  increased
overall  return  while  reducing  risk.  It is  prudent to  diversify  by taking
advantage of investment  opportunities  in more than one country's stock or bond
market.  By  investing  in  several  countries  through a  worldwide  portfolio,
investors  can lower their  exposure  and  vulnerability  to weakness in any one
market.  Investors should be aware, however, that international investing is not
a guarantee  against  market  risk and may be  affected  by  economic  and other
factors described in the Prospectus and this SAI. These include the prospects of
individual companies and other risks such as currency  fluctuations or controls,
expropriation, nationalization and confiscator taxation.

         Furthermore,  buying  foreign stocks and bonds can be difficult for the
individual investor and involves many decisions. Accessing international markets
is  complicated;  few  individuals  have  the  time  or  resources  to  evaluate
thoroughly  foreign  companies  and  markets  or the  ability  to incur the high
transaction costs of direct investment in such markets.  A mutual fund investing
in foreign  securities offers an investor broad  diversification at a relatively
low cost.

         At least 65% of the  Series'  total  assets  normally  are  invested in
equity  securities of foreign  issuers.  The Series invests  primarily in equity
securities of companies  located in developed foreign  economies,  as well as in
"emerging markets." NB Management's investment process includes a combination of
a top-down or macro-economic analysis and a bottom-up,  micro-economic approach,
as well as a blend of growth  and value  investment  styles.  The Series may use
leverage to facilitate transactions it enters into for hedging purposes.

         The portfolio  manager searches the world for investment  opportunities
wherever and whenever they arise -- in both developed and emerging markets.

         A Macro- and Micro-Economic Approach

         A macro view of various regions and countries is incorporated  into the
manager's  fundamental  bottom-up approach to aid in the selection of areas that
offer the best relative value. The manager's  analysis is designed to add value,
not replicate a particular  international index. Countries believed to offer the
best investment  potential are overweighted,  while those with limited prospects
are   underweighted.   The  manager's  micro  or  bottom-up   perspective  seeks
well-managed companies with strong fundamentals,  such as attractive cash flows,
strong balance sheets,  and solid earnings growth. The Series' selection process
leads to  investments  in companies  of all sizes,  including  small-,  mid- and
large-sized companies.

         A Blend of Growth and Value Investment Styles

         The manager uses a blend of styles to guard against  significant losses
when a particular style falls out of favor with investors.  The growth component
highlights rapidly growing companies in niche industries with unique products or
services,  while  the  value  component  focuses  on  undervalued,  out-of-favor
companies that may be poised for a turnaround.

         Well-Diversified Across Countries and Individual Securities

         The manager  typically  allocates  assets across more than 20 countries
and upwards of 100 individual securities issues.

         Currency Risk Management

         Exchange  rate  movements  and  volatility  are  important  factors  in
international investing. The portfolio manager believes in actively managing the
Series' currency exposure, in an effort to capitalize on foreign currency trends
and  to  reduce  overall  portfolio  volatility.  Currency  risk  management  is
performed  separately  from  equity  analysis.  The  portfolio  manager  uses  a
combination of economic  analysis to guide the Series'  longer-term  posture and
quantitative  trend  analysis  to assist in timing  decisions  with  respect  to
whether (or when) to invest in instruments  denominated in a particular  foreign
currency,  or whether (or when) to hedge particular  foreign currencies in which
liquid foreign exchange markets exist.

         To illustrate the importance of including an international component in
a  well-diversified  portfolio,  below are the annual  returns for the S&P "500"
Index  and the  EAFE(R)  Index  for the  years  1984-1998.  In seven of the past
fifteen  years,  international  stocks (as  represented  by the EAFE Index) have
outperformed U.S. stocks (as represented by the S&P 500 Index), in some cases by
a significant margin. Conversely, in other years, U.S. stocks have substantially
outperformed  international stocks. Investors with exposure to both domestic and
international  issues can minimize losses because gains in one market can offset
losses in another.

         Of course,  these  historical  results may not  continue in the future.
Investors  should keep in mind the greater  risks  inherent in foreign  markets,
such as currency exchange fluctuations,  interest rates, and potentially adverse
economic and political conditions.

An Interview with the Portfolio Manager

         Q:.......Why  should  investors  allocate a portion of their  assets to
international markets?

         A:.......First,  an investor who does not invest internationally misses
out on about two-thirds of the world's potential investment  opportunities.  The
U.S.  stock market today  represents  less than  one-third of the world's  stock
market  capitalization,  and the  U.S.  portion  continues  to  shrink  as other
countries around the world introduce or expand the size of their equity markets.
Privatizations of government-owned  corporations,  initial public offerings, and
the  occasional  creation  of official  stock  exchanges  in emerging  economies
continuously  present  new  opportunities  for  capital in an  expanding  global
market.

         Second,  many foreign  economies are in earlier  stages of  development
than ours and are growing  fast.  Economic  growth can often mean  potential for
investment growth.

         Finally,   international   investing   helps   an   investor   increase
diversification,  which can reduce risk.  Domestic and foreign markets generally
do not all move in the same direction,  so gains in one market may offset losses
in another.

         Q:       Does international investing involve special risks?

         A:  Currency  risk is one  important  risk  presented by  international
investing.  Fluctuations  in  exchange  rates  can  either  add to or  reduce an
investor's returns.  Anyone who invests in foreign markets should keep that fact
in mind.

         Other risks include, but are not limited to, greater market volatility,
less government  supervision and  availability  of public  information,  and the
possibility of adverse economic or political  developments.  Additional  special
risks of foreign investing are discussed in the Prospectus.

         Q: What are some of the  advantages  of investing  in an  international
fund?

         A: An  international  mutual  fund can be a  convenient  way to  invest
internationally  and  diversify  assets  among  several  markets to reduce risk.
Additionally,  the considerable  burden of searching for timely,  accurate,  and
comprehensive  information  about foreign  economies  and  securities is left to
professional managers.

         Q:       What is your investment approach?

         A: We seek to capitalize on investments  in countries  where we believe
that positive economic and political factors are likely to produce above-average
returns.  Studies have shown that the  allocation  of assets among  countries is
typically the most important factor  contributing to portfolio  performance.  We
believe that, in the long term, a nation's  economic  growth and the performance
of its equity market are highly correlated.  Therefore, we continuously evaluate
the global economic outlook as well as individual  country data to guide country
allocation.  Our process also leads to  diversification  across many  countries,
typically twenty or more, in an effort to limit total portfolio risk.

         We strive to invest in companies within the selected countries that are
in the best position to capitalize  on such positive  developments  or companies
that are  most  attractively  valued.  We  usually  include  in the  Portfolio's
investments  the  securities of  large-capitalization  companies,  determined in
relation  to  the  appropriate   national  market,  as  well  as  securities  of
faster-growing,  small- and medium-sized companies that offer potentially higher
returns but are often associated with higher risk.

         The criteria for security  selection focus on companies with leadership
in  specific  markets or with  niches in specific  industries,  which  appear to
exhibit positive  fundamentals  and seem undervalued  relative to their earnings
potential  or the worth of their  assets.  Typically,  in emerging  markets,  we
invest in relatively  large,  established  companies that we believe possess the
managerial, financial, and marketing strength to exploit successfully the growth
of a dynamic economy.  In more developed markets,  such as Europe and Japan, the
Portfolio may invest to a higher degree in medium-sized companies.  Medium-sized
companies can often provide above-average growth and are less followed by market
analysts, which sometimes leads to inefficient valuation.

         Finally, we strive to limit total portfolio  volatility and protect the
value of portfolio  securities by selectively  hedging the  Portfolio's  foreign
currency exposure in times when we expect the U.S. dollar to strengthen.

         Q:       How do you perceive the current outlook?

         A: There is still an  abundance  of exciting  investment  opportunities
around the world.  Many equity markets still have not reached the maturity stage
of the U.S.  market  and have  much more  room to grow.  There  are new  markets
opening up to foreign investment and many changes are occurring in markets where
equity investments have traditionally commanded less attention than fixed income
securities.

         Q:  Compared to the stock market in the United  States,  are there more
anomalies in security pricing abroad?

         A: Well,  the rest of the world is not as well  followed  as the United
States. So you'll find more anomalies.  At the same time,  though,  the level of
analysis of companies  around the world is  improving  every day, and the gap in
coverage is narrowing.

         What never  changes is the  psychology of the investor -- you regularly
see either  despair or  euphoria  in  different  sectors of every  international
market. That, in our opinion, creates opportunities to find undiscovered gems at
extraordinarily cheap prices.

         These  opportunities  can come from, say,  uncertainty over an election
going one way or another.  Investors  may see the outcome as totally  disastrous
for a country -- or as totally euphoric.  Then,  reality sets in, and things are
never as bleak or as wonderful as they had been painted.

         Q: Do you  integrate  ideas from  Neuberger  Berman's  research and the
domestic portfolio managers?

         A: Oh, sure.  As everyone  knows,  the world is becoming  smaller,  and
certain  industries  are becoming  global (or have become  global).  Whether one
thinks about  technology,  pharmaceuticals,  medical devices,  or the automobile
industry,  it's really  become one world  market.  So it's  crucial to have good
knowledge  about both the United  States and the areas outside the United States
where these companies dominate.

         AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments;  AMT Balanced  Investments (debt
securities portion)

         AMT Limited  Maturity Bond Investments and Balanced  Investments  (debt
securities portion) are appropriate for investors who seek to participate in the
returns  of the  bond  market,  but wish to avoid  significant  fluctuations  in
principal  value.  In order to achieve its investment  goal, each Series has the
flexibility  to  invest  across  the  full  range  of bond  sectors  (corporate,
mortgage-backed securities, etc.) and may invest a limited portion of its assets
in foreign  securities  denominated in foreign currencies as well as lower-rated
"high yield" issues.

         The investment  strategy of these Series is based upon the demonstrated
ability of short and intermediate  duration  portfolios to deliver virtually all
of the income of riskier long-term maturity portfolios. Thus, these Series limit
their maximum average duration to four years. However, in order to improve total
return,  it invests across a broad range of fixed income sectors and within each
sector seeks out  securities  that have a higher yield than  counterpart  issues
that we believe have a similar credit risk. It may  opportunistically  invest in
foreign issues when they offer higher yield than U.S.  issues.  In addition,  it
may invest up to 10% of its net assets in "high yield"  issues when these issues
offer the  prospect of higher total  return to the Series.  It is the  manager's
belief that the  combination of broad sector  diversification,  active  security
selection and flexible maturity and duration  management can offer investors the
prospect of total returns that will approximate the bond market as a whole, with
only moderate fluctuation in principal value.

AMT Liquid Asset Investments

         AMT Liquid Asset  Investments  is oriented to investors who seek a high
degree of liquidity  while  investing in Government  and corporate  money market
instruments.  The Series is invested to maintain a constant one dollar net asset
value.  The Series invests only in securities  that enjoy one of the two highest
credit ratings or unrated securities deemed equivalent by NB Management.

AMT Mid-Cap Growth Investments

         Co-portfolio  managers of AMT Mid-Cap Growth  Investments  use a growth
and earnings  momentum  approach to investing.  To uncover these mid-cap  stocks
they employ fundamental analysis, quantitative screens and conduct meetings with
company  management.  They  actively  seek out the stock of  companies  that are
growing  earnings  faster than the competitors in their  respective  industries.
These  stocks are  generally  found  among  fast  growing  companies  in growing
industries.  Say the portfolio co-managers,  "We are looking for the Fortune 500
companies  of  tomorrow".  The Series  looks for  companies  with strong  growth
potential and balances this with valuation analysis.

AMT Partners Investments

         AMT Partners Investments' objective is capital growth. It seeks to make
money in good markets and not give up those gains during rough times.

         Investors in the Series typically seek consistent  performance and have
a moderate risk tolerance.  They do know,  however,  that stock  investments can
provide the long-term  upside  potential  essential to meeting  their  long-term
investment  goals,  particularly  a  comfortable  retirement  and planning for a
college education.

         The portfolio  co-managers  look for stocks that are undervalued in the
marketplace  either in relation to strong  current  fundamentals,  such as a low
price-to-earnings  ratio,  consistent  cash flow, and  successful  track records
through all parts of the market cycle, or in relation to their projection of the
growth of the company's future  earnings.  If the market goes down, those stocks
the Series elects to hold, historically, have gone down less.

         The  portfolio  co-managers  monitor  stocks of medium- to  large-sized
companies  that  often  are not  closely  scrutinized  by other  investors.  The
managers  research  these  companies in order to determine if they are likely to
produce a new  product,  become an  acquisition  target,  or undergo a financial
restructuring.

         What else catches the  portfolio  co-managers'  eyes?  Companies  whose
managements  own  their  own  stock.  These  companies  usually  seek  to  build
shareholder  wealth by buying  back  shares or making  acquisitions  that have a
swift and positive impact on the bottom line.

         To increase the upside  potential,  the  managers  zero in on companies
that  dominate  their  industries  or their  specialized  niches.  The managers'
reasoning? Market leaders tend to earn higher levels of profits.

AMT Socially Responsive Investments

         Securities  for this Series are selected  through a two-phase  process.
The first is financial.  The portfolio  manager analyzes a universe of companies
according  to NB  Management's  value-oriented  philosophy  and looks for stocks
which are  undervalued  for any  number  of  reasons.  The  manager  focuses  on
financial  fundamentals,  including balance sheet ratios and cash flow analysis,
and  meets  with  company  management  in an  effort  to  understand  how  those
unrecognized values might be realized in the market.

         The second part of the  process is social  screening.  NB  Management's
social  research  is based on the  same  kind of  philosophy  that  governs  its
financial  approach:  NB  Management  believes  that  first-hand  knowledge  and
experience are its most  important  tools.  Utilizing a database,  the portfolio
manager does careful, in-depth tracking and analyzes a large number of companies
on some eighty  issues in six broad social  categories.  The manager uses a wide
variety of sources to determine  company  practices and policies in these areas.
Performance  is  analyzed  in light of  knowledge  of the issues and of the best
practices in each industry.

         Under normal  conditions,  at least 65% of the Series' total assets are
invested in  accordance  with its Social  Policy,  and at least 65% of its total
assets are invested in equity securities.  The Series expects that substantially
all of its equity  securities  will be  selected in  accordance  with the Social
Policy. On occasion,  the portfolio manager may consider deposits with community
banks and credit unions for investment.

         The portfolio  manager  understands  that,  for many issues and in many
industries, absolute standards are elusive and often counterproductive. Thus, in
addition  to  quantitative  measurements,  the  manager  places  value  on  such
indicators  as  management  commitment,   progress,   direction,   and  industry
leadership.

An Interview with the Portfolio Manager

         Q: First things first. How do you begin your stock selection process?

         A: Our first  question is always:  On  financial  grounds  alone,  is a
company a smart investment? For a company's stock to meet our financial test, it
must pass a number of hurdles.

         We look for  bargains,  just like the  portfolio  managers of the other
Portfolios.  More  specifically,  we search for  companies  that we believe have
terrific products,  excellent customer service,  and solid balance sheets -- but
because they may have missed quarterly  earnings  expectations by a few pennies,
because  their  sectors  are  currently  out  of  favor,   because  Wall  Street
overreacted  to a temporary  setback,  or because the  company's  merits  aren't
widely known, their stocks are selling at a discount.

         While we look at the stock's fundamentals carefully,  that's not all we
examine.  We meet an  awful  lot of CEOs  and  CFOs.  Top  officers  of over 400
companies  visit  Neuberger  Berman each year, and we're also  frequently on the
road visiting  dozens of  corporations.  We meet with  representatives  of every
company we own.

         When we're face to face with a CEO, we're  searching for answers to two
crucial questions: "Does the company have a vision of where it wants to go?" and
"Can the  management  team make it happen?"  We've  analyzed  companies for over
three decades,  and we always look for companies that have both clear strategies
and management talent.

         Q: When you evaluate a company's  balance sheet,  what matters the most
to you?

         A:  Definitely  a  company's  "free  cash  flow."  Compare  it to  your
household's  discretionary  income -- the  money  you have left over each  month
after you pay off your  monthly  debt and other  expenses.  With ample free cash
flow,  a company  can do any number of things.  It can buy back its stock.  Make
important  acquisitions.  Expand  its  research  and  development  spending.  Or
increase its dividend payments.

         When a  company  generates  lots of excess  cash  flow,  it has  growth
capital at its  disposal.  It can invest  for higher  profits  down the line and
improve  shareholder value.  Determining  exactly how a company intends to spend
its  excess  cash is an  entirely  different  matter  -- and  that's  where  the
information  learned in our company meetings comes in. Still, you've got to have
the extra cash in the first place. Which is why we pay so much attention to it.

         Q:  So you  take a hard  look  at a  company's  balance  sheet  and its
management. After a company passes your financial test, what do you do next?

         A: After we're  convinced of a company's  merits on  financial  grounds
alone, we review its record as a corporate citizen.  In particular,  we look for
evidence  of  leadership  in  three  key  areas:  concern  for the  environment,
workplace diversity, and enlightened employment practices.

         It should be clear that our social  screening  always takes place after
we search far and wide for what we believe are the best investment opportunities
available.  This is a crucial  point,  and an analogy can be used to explain it.
Let's assume you're looking to fill a vital position in your company. What you'd
pay attention to first is the candidate's competence:  Can he or she do the job?
So after  interviewing a number of  candidates,  you'd narrow your list to those
that are highly qualified.  To choose from this smaller group, you might look at
the  candidate's  personality:  Can he or she get along  with  everyone  in your
group?

         Obviously, you wouldn't hire an unqualified person simply because he or
she is likable.  What you'd  probably  do is give the job to a highly  qualified
person who is also compatible with your group.

         Now, let's turn to the companies  that do make our financial  cuts. How
do we decide  whether  they meet our social  criteria?  Once again,  our regular
meetings  with CEOs are key.  We look for top  management's  support of programs
that put more women and  minorities  in the  pipeline to be future  officers and
board members;  that minimize  emissions,  reduce waste,  conserve  energy,  and
protect natural resources;  and that enable employees to balance work and family
life with benefits such as flextime and generous maternal and paternal leave.

         We  realize  that  companies  are not all good or all bad.  Instead  of
looking for ethical perfection, we analyze how a company responds to troublesome
problems.  If a company is cited for  breaking a pollution  law, we evaluate its
reaction.  We also ask: Is it the first time? Do its top executives  have a plan
for making sure it doesn't happen again -- and how committed are they?

         If  we're  satisfied  with the  answers,  a  company  makes it into our
portfolio.  When all is said and done, we invest in companies  that have diverse
work forces,  strong CEOs, tough environmental  standards,  and terrific balance
sheets.  In our  judgment,  financially  strong  companies  that are  also  good
corporate citizens are more likely to enjoy a competitive advantage. These days,
more and more people won't buy a product  unless they know it's  environmentally
friendly. In a similar vein, companies that treat their workers well may be more
productive and profitable.

         Q: What kind of  investors  do you think are  attracted to the Socially
Responsive Portfolio?

         A:  Shareholders that are looking to invest for the future in more ways
than one.  While they care deeply  about their own  financial  futures,  they're
equally passionate about the world they leave to later generations. They want to
be able to meet their  college bills and leave a world where the air is a little
cleaner and where the doors to the executive suite are a little more open.

Additional Investment Information

         Some or all of the Series,  as indicated  below, may make the following
investments,  among  others  although  they  may  not buy  all of the  types  of
securities or use all of the investment  techniques that are described.  As used
herein,  "Equity  Series" refers to AMT Balanced  (equity  securities  portion),
Growth,  Guardian,  International,  Mid-Cap  Growth,  and Partners  Investments.
"Income  Series"  refers to AMT  Balanced  (debt  securities  portion),  Limited
Maturity Bond, and Liquid Asset Investments.

                                      * * *

         Each  Equity  Series  invests in a wide array of stocks,  and no single
stock  makes up more than a small  fraction  of and  series'  total  assets.  Of
course, each Series' holdings are subject to change.

         Illiquid Securities.  (All Series).  Illiquid securities are securities
that cannot be expected to be sold within seven days at approximately  the price
at which they are valued.  These may include  unregistered  or other  restricted
securities  and  repurchase  agreements  maturing  in greater  than seven  days.
Illiquid  securities may also include commercial paper under section 4(2) of the
1933 Act, as amended, and Rule 144A securities  (restricted  securities that may
be traded freely among qualified  institutional  buyers pursuant to an exemption
from the registration requirements of the securities laws); these securities are
considered  illiquid  unless  NB  Management,   acting  pursuant  to  guidelines
established  by the  trustees of  Managers  Trust,  determines  they are liquid.
Generally,  foreign securities freely tradable in their principal market are not
considered  restricted or illiquid  even if they are not  registered in the U.S.
Illiquid  securities may be difficult for a Series to value or dispose of due to
the absence of an active trading market. The sale of some illiquid securities by
the Series may be subject  to legal  restrictions  which  could be costly to the
Series.

         Policies and Limitations.  Each Series may invest up to 15% (10% in the
case of AMT Liquid Asset Investments) of its net assets in illiquid securities.

         Repurchase  Agreements.  (All  Series).  In a repurchase  agreement,  a
Series purchases  securities from a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve
System (or with respect to AMT International Investments, from a foreign bank or
a U.S.  branch or agency of a foreign bank), or from a securities  dealer,  that
agrees to  repurchase  the  securities  from the  Series at a higher  price on a
designated future date.  Repurchase  agreements generally are for a short period
of time, usually less than a week. Costs,  delays, or losses could result if the
selling party to a repurchase  agreement becomes bankrupt or otherwise defaults.
NB Management  monitors the  creditworthiness  of sellers.  If AMT International
Investments  enters into a repurchase  agreement  subject to foreign law and the
counter-party  defaults,  that Series may not enjoy  protections  comparable  to
those provided to certain  repurchase  agreements under U.S.  bankruptcy law and
may suffer delays and losses in disposing of the collateral as a result.

         Policies and Limitations. Repurchase agreements with a maturity of more
than seven days are  considered to be illiquid  securities.  No Series may enter
into a  repurchase  agreement  with a maturity  of more than seven days if, as a
result,  more than 15% (10% with respect to AMT Liquid Asset Investments) of the
value of its net assets would then be invested in such repurchase agreements and
other illiquid  securities.  A Series may enter into a repurchase agreement only
if (1) the underlying  securities are of a type (excluding maturity and duration
limitations) that the Series' investment policies and limitations would allow it
to  purchase  directly,  (2) the  market  value  of the  underlying  securities,
including accrued interest, at all times equals or exceeds the repurchase price,
and (3) payment for the  underlying  securities  is made only upon  satisfactory
evidence  that the  securities  are being  held for the  Series'  account by its
custodian or a bank acting as the Series' agent.

         Securities  Loans.  (All  Series).  Each Series may lend  securities to
banks,  brokerage  firms, or institutional  investors judged  creditworthy by NB
Management,  provided that cash or equivalent collateral, equal to at least 100%
of the market value of the loaned securities,  is continuously maintained by the
borrower  with the Series.  The Series may invest the cash  collateral  and earn
income,  or it may  receive an agreed  upon  amount of  interest  income  from a
borrower who has delivered equivalent collateral. During the time securities are
on loan, the borrower will pay the Series an amount  equivalent to any dividends
or interest paid on such  securities.  These loans are subject to termination at
the  option  of the  Series  or the  borrower.  The  Series  may pay  reasonable
administrative  and  custodial  fees  in  connection  with a loan  and may pay a
negotiated  portion of the interest earned on the cash or equivalent  collateral
to the  borrower or placing  broker.  The Series does not have the right to vote
securities on loan, but would terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if
that were  considered  important with respect to the  investment.  NB Management
believes the risk of loss on these transactions is slight because, if a borrower
were to default for any reason,  the collateral  should satisfy the  obligation.
However,  as with  other  extensions  of  secured  credit,  loans  of  portfolio
securities  involve  some risk of loss of rights in the  collateral  should  the
borrower fail financially.

         Policies and  Limitations.  Each Series may lend  portfolio  securities
with a value  not  exceeding  33-1/3%  of its total  assets to banks,  brokerage
firms, or other  institutional  investors judged  creditworthy by NB Management.
Borrowers  are  required  continuously  to secure  their  obligations  to return
securities on loan from a Series by depositing  collateral in a form  determined
to be  satisfactory  by the trustees of Managers Trust ("Series  Trustees).  The
collateral, which must be marked to market daily, must be equal to at least 100%
of the  market  value of the  loaned  securities,  which  will also be marked to
market daily.  Securities lending by AMT Socially Responsive  Investments is not
subject to the Social Policy.

         Restricted  Securities  and Rule 144A  Securities.  (All Series).  Each
Series may invest in restricted securities, which are securities that may not be
sold to the public without an effective  registration  statement  under the 1933
Act. Before they are registered, such securities may be sold only in a privately
negotiated  transaction  or  pursuant  to an  exemption  from  registration.  In
recognition of the increased size and liquidity of the institutional  market for
unregistered  securities  and the importance of  institutional  investors in the
formation of capital, the SEC has adopted Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, which is
designed to  facilitate  efficient  trading  among  institutional  investors  by
permitting   the  sale  of  certain   unregistered   securities   to   qualified
institutional buyers. To the extent privately placed securities held by a Series
qualify  under  Rule  144A,  and an  institutional  market  develops  for  those
securities,  the Series likely will be able to dispose of the securities without
registering  them under the 1933 Act.  To the extent that  institutional  buyers
become,  for a time,  uninterested in purchasing these securities,  investing in
Rule 144A securities  could have the effect of increasing the level of a Series'
illiquidity.  NB Management,  acting under guidelines established by the Series'
Trustees, may determine that certain securities qualified for trading under Rule
144A are liquid.  Foreign securities that are freely tradable in their principal
markets are not  considered  to be  restricted.  Regulation S under the 1933 Act
permits the sale abroad of securities  that are not  registered  for sale in the
United States.

         Where registration is required, a Series may be obligated to pay all or
part of the registration  expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between
the decision to sell and the time the Series may be permitted to sell a security
under an effective  registration  statement.  If, during such a period,  adverse
market  conditions  were to develop,  the Series might  obtain a less  favorable
price than prevailed when it decided to sell. Restricted securities for which no
market  exists  are  priced  by a  method  that  the  Series'  Trustees  believe
accurately reflect fair value.

         Policies  and  Limitations.   To  the  extent  restricted   securities,
including Rule 144A securities, are illiquid,  purchases thereof will be subject
to each Series' 15% (10% in the case of AMT Liquid Asset  Investments)  limit on
investments in illiquid securities.

         Commercial Paper.  (All Series).  Commercial paper is a short-term debt
security issued by a corporation,  bank, municipality,  or other issuer, usually
for purposes  such as financing  current  operations.  Each Series may invest in
commercial  paper  that  cannot be resold to the  public  without  an  effective
registration  statement under the 1933 Act. While  restricted  commercial  paper
normally is deemed  illiquid,  NB Management may in certain cases determine that
such  paper  is  liquid,  pursuant  to  guidelines  established  by the  Series'
Trustees.

         Policies and Limitations.  Each Equity Series normally may invest up to
35% of its net assets in debt securities,  including  commercial  paper.  Except
with respect to AMT Partners, Mid-Cap Growth and International Investments,  the
Equity Series may invest in commercial paper only if it has received the highest
rating from S&P (A-1) or Moody's  (P-1) or is deemed by NB  Management  to be of
comparable quality. AMT International  Investments may invest in such commercial
paper as a defensive measure, to increase liquidity, or as needed for segregated
accounts.

         Reverse Repurchase  Agreements.  (All Series).  In a reverse repurchase
agreement,  a Series  sells  portfolio  securities  subject to its  agreement to
repurchase the securities at a later date for a fixed price  reflecting a market
rate of interest.  Reverse repurchase  agreements may increase fluctuations in a
Series'  and its  corresponding  Portfolio's  NAV and may be viewed as a form of
leverage.  There  is a risk  that  the  counter-party  to a  reverse  repurchase
agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the  transaction as scheduled,
which  may  result  in  losses  to  the  Series.  NB  Management   monitors  the
creditworthiness of counterparties to reverse repurchase agreements.

         Policies and Limitations.  Reverse repurchase agreements are considered
borrowings  for purposes of each  Series'  investment  limitations  and policies
concerning  borrowings.  While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding,  a
Series  will  deposit  in a  segregated  account  with  its  custodian  cash  or
appropriate  liquid  securities,  marked to market daily,  in an amount at least
equal to each Series' obligations under the agreement.

         Banking and Savings  Institution  Securities.  These  include CDs, time
deposits,  bankers'  acceptances,   and  other  short-term  and  long-term  debt
obligations  issued  by  commercial  banks  and  savings  institutions.  CDs are
receipts for funds deposited for a specified  period of time at a specified rate
of return;  time deposits generally are similar to CDs, but are  uncertificated.
Bankers'  acceptances  are time drafts drawn on  commercial  banks by borrowers,
usually in connection with international commercial transactions.  The CDs, time
deposits,  and bankers'  acceptances in which a Series invests typically are not
covered by deposit insurance.

         Policies and Limitations.  AMT Liquid Asset  Investments may invest 25%
or more of its total  assets in CDs or banker's  acceptances  issued by domestic
branches of U.S.  banks.  CDs are  interpreted to include  similar types of time
deposits.  The Series may invest in  securities  issued by a commercial  bank or
savings  institution  only if (1) the bank or institution has total assets of at
least $1,000,000,000, (2) the bank or institution is on NB Management's approved
list, and (3) in the case of a foreign bank or institution,  the securities are,
in NB Management's  opinion, of an investment quality comparable with other debt
securities  that  may be  purchased  by the  Series.  These  limitations  do not
prohibit investments in securities issued by foreign branches of U.S. banks that
meet the foregoing requirements.

         Each  Equity  Series  will  normally  limit  its  investments  in  debt
securities,  including banking and savings  institution  securities,  to no more
than 35% of its total assets.

         Leverage.  (AMT  International   Investments).   The  Series  may  make
investments when borrowings are outstanding. Leverage creates an opportunity for
increased net income but, at the same time, creates special risk considerations.
For example, leveraging may amplify changes in the Series' and its corresponding
Portfolio's  NAVs.  Although the principal of such borrowings will be fixed, the
Series' assets may change in value during the time the borrowing is outstanding.
Leverage from borrowing  creates interest expenses for the Series. To the extent
the income  derived from  securities  purchased  with borrowed funds exceeds the
interest  the Series  will have to pay,  the  Series' net income will be greater
than it would be if leveraging were not used. Conversely, if the income from the
assets  obtained  with  borrowed  funds is not  sufficient  to cover the cost of
leveraging,  the net income of the Series will be less than if  leveraging  were
not used,  and therefore the amount  available for  distribution  to the Series'
shareholders as dividends will be reduced.

         Policies and Limitations.  Generally, the Series does not intend to use
leverage for  investment  purposes.  It may,  however,  use leverage to purchase
securities needed to close out short sales entered into for hedging purposes and
to facilitate other hedging  transactions.  Reverse repurchase agreements create
leverage and are considered  borrowings  for purposes of the Series'  investment
limitations.

         Foreign  Securities.  (All  Series).  Each  Series  may  invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated  securities  issued  by  foreign  issuers  (including  banks,
governments, and quasi-governmental  organizations) and foreign branches of U.S.
banks,  including  negotiable CDs,  banker's  acceptances and commercial  paper.
These  investments  are subject to each Series' quality and, in the case of each
Income Series, its maturity or duration standards.

         While investments in foreign  securities are intended to reduce risk by
providing  further  diversification  (except with  respect to AMT  International
Investments), such investments involve sovereign and other risks, in addition to
the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities.  These
additional  risks  include the  possibility  of adverse  political  and economic
developments (including political instability,  nationalization,  expropriation,
or confiscatory  taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability
of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision regarding
financial markets,  reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack
of uniform accounting,  auditing,  and financial standards or the application of
standards  that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United
States.

         Each Series  (except AMT Liquid Asset  Investments)  also may invest in
equity  (except  AMT  Limited  Maturity  Bond   Investments),   debt,  or  other
income-producing  securities  that are  denominated  in or  indexed  to  foreign
currencies,  including, but not limited to (1) common and preferred stocks, with
respect to all Series  except AMT Limited  Maturity Bond  Investments,  (2) CDs,
commercial  paper,  fixed-time  deposits,  and  bankers'  acceptances  issued by
foreign banks,  (3)  obligations of other  corporations,  and (4) obligations of
foreign governments,  or their subdivisions,  agencies,  and  instrumentalities,
international  agencies,  and  supranational  entities.   Investing  in  foreign
currency  denominated  securities  includes the special  risks  associated  with
investing in non-U.S.  issuers  described  in the  preceding  paragraph  and the
additional  risks of (1)  adverse  changes in foreign  exchange  rates,  and (2)
adverse  changes in  investment  or exchange  control  regulations  (which could
prevent  cash from  being  brought  back to the  United  States).  Additionally,
dividends  and interest  payable on foreign  securities  (and gains  realized on
disposition  thereof) may be subject to foreign taxes,  including taxes withheld
from those payments,  and there are generally higher commission rates on foreign
portfolio  transactions.  Fixed commissions on foreign securities  exchanges are
generally higher than negotiated  commissions on U.S.  exchanges,  although each
Series  endeavors  to  achieve  the most  favorable  net  results  on  portfolio
transactions.

         Foreign  securities  often trade with less frequency and in less volume
than domestic  securities and may exhibit greater price  volatility.  Additional
costs  associated  with an investment in foreign  securities  may include higher
custodian fees than apply to domestic  custodial  arrangements  and  transaction
costs of foreign  currency  conversions.  Changes in foreign exchange rates also
will affect the value of securities  denominated  or quoted in currencies  other
than the U.S. dollar.

         Foreign   markets  also  have   different   clearance  and   settlement
procedures,  and in certain markets, there have been times when settlements have
been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities  transactions,  making it
difficult to conduct such  transactions.  Delays in  settlement  could result in
temporary  periods when a portion of the assets of a Series is uninvested and no
return is earned  thereon.  The inability of a Series to make intended  security
purchases due to  settlement  problems  could cause a Series to miss  attractive
investment  opportunities.  Inability to dispose of portfolio  securities due to
settlement  problems could result either in losses to a Series due to subsequent
declines in value of the portfolio securities,  or, if a Series has entered into
a contract to sell the  securities,  could  result in possible  liability to the
purchaser.

         Prices of foreign  securities and exchange rates for foreign currencies
may be  affected  by the  interest  rates  prevailing  in other  countries.  The
interest rates in other countries are often affected by local factors, including
the strength of the local economy,  the demand for borrowing,  the  government's
fiscal  and  monetary  policies,  and the  international  balance  of  payments.
Individual  foreign  economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S.
economy in such respects as gross national product,  rate of inflation,  capital
reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.

         The  Series  (except  AMT  Liquid  Asset  and  Limited   Maturity  Bond
Investments)  may invest in ADRs,  EDRs,  GDRs,  and IDRs.  ADRs  (sponsored  or
unsponsored)  are  receipts  typically  issued by a U.S.  bank or trust  company
evidencing its ownership of the  underlying  foreign  securities.  Most ADRs are
denominated in U.S. dollars and are traded on a U.S. stock exchange.  Issuers of
the  securities  underlying  sponsored  ADRs,  but  not  unsponsored  ADRs,  are
contractually  obligated to disclose material  information in the United States.
Therefore,  the market value of  unsponsored  ADRs may not reflect the effect of
such information. EDRs and IDRs are receipts typically issued by a European bank
or trust company evidencing its ownership of the underlying foreign  securities.
GDRs are  receipts  issued  by either a U.S.  or  non-U.S.  banking  institution
evidencing  its ownership of the  underlying  foreign  securities  and are often
denominated in U.S. dollars.

         Policies  and  Limitations.  In order to limit  the risks  inherent  in
investing in foreign  currency  denominated  securities,  AMT  Balanced  (equity
securities  portion),  Growth,  Guardian,   Partners,  and  Socially  Responsive
Investments may not purchase any such security if, as a result, more than 10% of
its total assets (taken at market  value) would be invested in foreign  currency
denominated  securities.  AMT Limited Maturity Bond Investments may not purchase
securities  denominated  in or indexed to foreign  currencies,  if, as a result,
more than 25% of its total assets  (taken at market  value) would be invested in
such  securities.  AMT  Mid-Cap  Growth  Investments  may not  purchase  foreign
currency  denominated  securities  if, as a  result,  more than 20% of its total
assets  (taken at market  value)  would be invested in such  securities.  Within
those limitations,  however, no Series is restricted in the amount it may invest
in  securities  denominated  in any  one  foreign  currency.  AMT  International
Investments   invests  primarily  in  foreign   securities.   AMT  Liquid  Asset
Investments may not invest in foreign currency-denominated securities.

         Investments  in  securities  of  foreign  issuers  are  subject to each
Series' quality  standards.  Each Series (except AMT International  Investments)
may invest only in  securities  of issuers in countries  whose  governments  are
considered stable by NB Management.

         Japanese  Investments.  (AMT  International  Investments).  All  of the
Series  may invest in  foreign  securities,  including  securities  of  Japanese
issuers.  From  time  to  time,  AMT  International  Investments  may  invest  a
significant  portion  of its  assets in  securities  of  Japanese  issuers.  The
performance  of the Series may  therefore  be  significantly  affected by events
influencing the Japanese  economy and the exchange rate between the Japanese yen
and the U.S.  dollar.  Japan has  experienced  a severe  recession,  including a
decline in real estate  values and other  events  that  adversely  affected  the
balance  sheets of many  financial  institutions  and indicate that there may be
structural  weaknesses  in the Japanese  financial  system.  The effects of this
economic  downturn  may  be  felt  for  a  considerable  period  and  are  being
exacerbated by the currency exchange rate. Japan is heavily dependent on foreign
oil. Japan is located in a seismically  active area, and severe  earthquakes may
damage  important  elements of the country's  infrastructure.  Japan's  economic
prospects may be affected by the  political and military  situations of its near
neighbors, notably North and South Korea, China and Russia.

         Variable or  Floating  Rate  Securities;  Demand and Put  Features  and
Guarantees.  (All  Series).  Variable  rate  securities  provide  for  automatic
adjustment of the interest rate at fixed intervals  (e.g.,  daily,  monthly,  or
semi-annually); floating rate securities provide for automatic adjustment of the
interest rate whenever a specified interest rate or index changes.  The interest
rate on variable and floating rate securities  (collectively,  "Adjustable  Rate
Securities")  ordinarily is determined by reference to a particular bank's prime
rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, the rate of return on commercial paper
or bank CDs, an index of  short-term  tax-exempt  rates or some other  objective
measure.

         Adjustable  Rate  Securities  frequently  permit  the  holder to demand
payment of the  obligations'  principal  and accrued  interest at any time or at
specified intervals not exceeding one year. The demand feature usually is backed
by a credit  instrument  (e.g.,  a bank  letter of credit)  from a  creditworthy
issuer and sometimes by insurance  from a  creditworthy  insurer.  Without these
credit enhancements,  some Adjustable Rate Securities might not meet the quality
standards  applicable to obligations  purchased by the Series.  Accordingly,  in
purchasing   these   securities,   each   Series   relies   primarily   on   the
creditworthiness  of the credit instrument  issuer or the insurer.  A Series can
also buy fixed rate  securities  accompanied by demand  features or put options,
permitting  the Series to sell the  security  to the issuer or third  party at a
specified price. A Series may rely on the  creditworthiness of issuers of credit
enhancements in purchasing these securities.

         Among  the  Adjustable  Rate  Securities  in  which  AMT  Liquid  Asset
Investments may invest are so-called  guaranteed  investment  contracts ("GICs")
issued  by  insurance  companies.  In the  event of  insolvency  of the  issuing
insurance company, the ability of the Series to recover its assets may depend on
the treatment of GICs under state insurance laws.

         Policies and Limitations.  Except for AMT Liquid Asset Investments,  no
Series  may  invest  more than 5% of its total  assets in  securities  backed by
credit instruments from any one issuer or by insurance from any one insurer. For
purposes of this limitation, each Series except for AMT Liquid Asset Investments
excludes  securities that do not rely on the credit  instrument or insurance for
their ratings, i.e., stand on their own credit. AMT Liquid Asset Investments may
invest in  securities  subject to demand  features or guarantees as permitted by
Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Each Equity  Series  normally may invest up to 35%
of its total  assets in debt  securities,  including  variable or floating  rate
securities.

         For purposes of determining its dollar-weighted  average maturity,  AMT
Liquid  Asset  Investments  calculates  the  remaining  maturity of variable and
floating  rate  instruments  as  provided  in Rule 2a-7  under the 1940 Act.  In
calculating its  dollar-weighted  average maturity and duration,  each Series is
permitted to treat  certain  Adjustable  Rate  Securities  as maturing on a date
prior to the date on which principal must  unconditionally  be paid. In applying
such maturity shortening  devices, NB Management  considers whether the interest
rate reset is expected to cause the security to trade at  approximately  its par
value.

         GICs are  generally  regarded  as  illiquid.  Thus,  AMT  Liquid  Asset
Investments  may not  invest in such GICs if, as a result,  more than 10% of the
value of its net assets  would then be invested in such GICs and other  illiquid
securities.

         Mortgage-Backed  Securities.  (AMT Liquid Asset,  Limited Maturity Bond
and  Balanced  Investments).  Mortgage-backed  securities  represent  direct  or
indirect  participations  in,  or are  secured  by and  payable  from,  pools of
mortgage loans. They may be issued or guaranteed by a U.S.  Government agency or
instrumentality  such as the GNMA,  Fannie  Mae,  and  Freddie  Mac,  though not
necessarily  backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, or may be
issued by private  issuers.  Private  issuers are generally  originators  of and
investors in mortgage loans and include savings associations,  mortgage bankers,
commercial banks,  investment  bankers,  and special purpose  entities.  Private
mortgage-backed   securities  may  be  supported  by  U.S.   Government   Agency
mortgage-backed securities or some form of non-governmental credit enhancement.

         Mortgage-backed securities may have either fixed or adjustable interest
rates. Tax or regulatory  changes may adversely  affect the mortgage  securities
market. In addition, changes in the market's perception of the issuer may affect
the value of mortgage-backed  securities.  The rate of return on mortgage-backed
securities may be affected by prepayments of principal on the underlying  loans,
which  generally  increase as market interest rates decline;  as a result,  when
interest rates decline, holders of these securities normally do not benefit from
appreciation in market value to the same extent as holders of other non-callable
debt securities.

         Because  many  mortgages  are repaid  early,  the actual  maturity  and
duration of  mortgage-backed  securities are typically shorter than their stated
final maturity and their duration  calculated  solely on the basis of the stated
life and payment schedule.  In calculating its dollar-weighted  average maturity
and duration,  a Series may apply  certain  industry  conventions  regarding the
maturity and duration of  mortgage-backed  instruments.  Different  analysts use
different models and assumptions in making these determinations.  The Series use
an approach that NB  Management  believes is reasonable in light of all relevant
circumstances.  If this  determination  is not borne out in  practice,  it could
positively  or  negatively  affect  the value of the  Series  and  corresponding
Portfolio when market  interest rates change.  Increasing  market interest rates
generally  extend  the  effective  maturities  of  mortgage-backed   securities,
increasing their sensitivity to interest rate changes.

         Mortgage-backed  securities may be issued in the form of collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") or collateralized  mortgage-backed bonds ("CBOs").
CMOs are obligations that are fully collateralized, directly or indirectly, by a
pool of mortgages on which payments of principal and interest are passed through
to the holders of the CMOs, although not necessarily on a pro rata basis, on the
same schedule as they are received.  CBOs are general  obligations of the issuer
that are fully collateralized,  directly or indirectly,  by a pool of mortgages.
The mortgages  serve as collateral for the issuer's  payment  obligations on the
bonds,  but  interest and  principal  payments on the  mortgages  are not passed
through  either  directly  (as with  mortgage-backed  "pass-through"  securities
issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or  instrumentalities)  or on a
modified basis (as with CMOs). Accordingly,  a change in the rate of prepayments
on the pool of mortgages could change the effective  maturity or the duration of
a CMO but not that of a CBO (although,  like many bonds, CBOs may be callable by
the issuer prior to maturity).  To the extent that rising  interest  rates cause
prepayments  to occur at a slower than  expected  rate, a CMO could be converted
into a longer-term security that is subject to greater risk of price volatility.

         Governmental,   government-related,   and  private  entities  (such  as
commercial banks,  savings  institutions,  private mortgage insurance companies,
mortgage  bankers,  and other secondary  market issuers),  including  securities
broker-dealers and special purpose entities that generally are affiliates of the
foregoing established to issue such securities may create mortgage loan pools to
back CMOs and CBOs. Such issuers may be the originators  and/or servicers of the
underlying  mortgage  loans  as well as the  guarantors  of the  mortgage-backed
securities.  Pools created by non-governmental  issuers generally offer a higher
rate of interest than  government  and  government-related  pools because of the
absence of direct or indirect government or agency guarantees.  Various forms of
insurance or guarantees,  including  individual  loan,  title,  pool, and hazard
insurance,  and letters of credit,  may support  timely  payment of interest and
principal of non-governmental  pools. The insurance and guarantees are issued by
governmental entities, private insurers, and the mortgage poolers. NB Management
considers such insurance and guarantees,  as well as the creditworthiness of the
issuers  thereof,  in  determining  whether a  mortgage-backed  security meets a
Series' investment quality standards. There can be no assurance that the private
insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations  under the insurance  policies
or  guarantee  arrangements.  A  Portfolio  may buy  mortgage-backed  securities
without insurance or guarantees, if NB Management determines that the securities
meet the Portfolio's quality standards.  NB Management will, consistent with the
Portfolio's  investment   objectives,   policies  and  limitations  and  quality
standards,   consider  making   investments  in  new  types  of  mortgage-backed
securities as such securities are developed and offered to investors.

         Policies and  Limitations.  A Series may not  purchase  mortgage-backed
securities that, in NB Management's  opinion, are illiquid if, as a result, more
than 15% (10% in the case of AMT Liquid Asset  Investments)  of the value of the
Series' net assets would be invested in illiquid securities.

         Dollar Rolls. (AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced Investments).  In
a "dollar roll", a Series sells securities for delivery in the current month and
simultaneously  agrees to repurchase  substantially similar (i.e., same type and
coupon)  securities on a specified  future date from the same party.  During the
period before the repurchase, the Series forgoes principal and interest payments
on the  securities.  The Series is  compensated  by the  difference  between the
current  sales  price and the  forward  price  for the  future  purchase  (often
referred  to as the  "drop"),  as well as by the  interest  earned  on the  cash
proceeds  of the initial  sale.  Dollar  rolls may  increase  fluctuations  in a
Series' and its  corresponding  Portfolio's  NAVs and may be viewed as a form of
leverage.  A "covered roll" is a specific type of dollar roll for which there is
an  offsetting  cash  position or a  cash-equivalent  securities  position  that
matures (or can be sold and settled) on or before the forward settlement date of
the  dollar  roll  transaction.  There is a risk that the  counterparty  will be
unable or unwilling to complete the  transaction as scheduled,  which may result
in losses to the Series.
NB Management monitors the creditworthiness of counterparties to dollar rolls.

         Policies and  Limitations.  Dollar rolls are considered  borrowings for
purposes  of  each  Series'  investment  policies  and  limitations   concerning
borrowings.

         Forward  Commitments  (AMT  International  Investments) and When-Issued
Securities.  (AMT  International,  Limited  Maturity  Bond,  and Balanced  (debt
securities portion) Investments). The Series may purchase securities (including,
with  respect  to  AMT  Limited   Maturity   Bond  and   Balanced   Investments,
mortgage-backed   securities   such  as  GNMA,   Fannie  Mae,  and  Freddie  Mac
certificates)  on a  when-issued  basis and AMT  International  Investments  may
purchase or sell securities on a forward  commitment basis.  These  transactions
involve a commitment by a Series to purchase or sell securities at a future date
(ordinarily  within  two  months  although  the  Series  may  agree  to a longer
settlement period). The price of the underlying securities (usually expressed in
terms of yield) and the date when the securities  will be delivered and paid for
(the  settlement  date) are  fixed at the time the  transaction  is  negotiated.
When-issued  purchases  and  forward  commitment   transactions  are  negotiated
directly with the other party, and such commitments are not traded on exchanges.

         When-issued  purchases  and forward  commitment  transactions  enable a
Series to "lock in" what NB  Management  believes to be an  attractive  price or
yield on a  particular  security  for a period  of time,  regardless  of  future
changes in interest rates. For instance, in periods of rising interest rates and
falling prices, AMT International Investments might sell securities it owns on a
forward  commitment basis to limit its exposure to falling prices. In periods of
falling  interest rates and rising prices, a Series might purchase a security on
a when-issued or forward  commitment basis and sell a similar security to settle
such purchase,  thereby obtaining the benefit of currently higher yields. If the
seller fails to complete the sale, the Series may lose the opportunity to obtain
a favorable price.

         The  value  of  securities   purchased  on  a  when-issued  or  forward
commitment basis and any subsequent fluctuations in their value are reflected in
the  computation  of a Series'  NAV  starting  on the date of the  agreement  to
purchase the securities. Because the Series has not yet paid for the securities,
this produces an effect similar to leverage.  A Series does not earn interest on
the  securities  it has  committed  to  purchase  until  they  are  paid for and
delivered on the settlement  date. When AMT  International  Investments  makes a
forward  commitment to sell securities it owns, the proceeds to be received upon
settlement are included in the Series' assets.  Fluctuations in the market value
of the underlying securities are not reflected in the Series' NAV as long as the
commitment to sell remains in effect.

         Policies  and  Limitations.  A Series  will  purchase  securities  on a
when-issued  basis or purchase or sell securities on a forward  commitment basis
only with the intention of completing the transaction and actually purchasing or
selling the securities.  If deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy,
however,  a Series may dispose of or renegotiate a commitment  after it has been
entered  into. A Series also may sell  securities  it has  committed to purchase
before those  securities are delivered to the Series on the  settlement  date. A
Series may realize a capital gain or loss in connection with these transactions.

         When a Series  purchases  securities  on a when-issued  basis,  it will
deposit,  in a segregated  account with its  custodian,  until  payment is made,
appropriate  liquid securities having a value (determined  daily) at least equal
to the  amount of the  Series'  purchase  commitments.  In the case of a forward
commitment to sell portfolio  securities,  the custodian will hold the portfolio
securities   themselves  in  a  segregated   account  while  the  commitment  is
outstanding. These procedures are designed to ensure that a Series will maintain
sufficient  assets  at all  times to cover  its  obligations  under  when-issued
purchases and forward commitment transactions.

         Futures, Options on Futures, Options on Securities and Indices,
                    Forward Contracts, and Options on Foreign
               Currencies (collectively, "Financial Instruments")

         Futures  Contracts  and  Options  Thereon.  (AMT  Socially  Responsive,
International,  Guardian,  Mid-Cap  Growth,  Limited  Maturity Bond and Balanced
Investments). Each of AMT Socially Responsive and Mid-Cap Growth Investments may
purchase and sell interest rate futures contracts,  stock and bond index futures
contracts,  and foreign  currency  futures  contracts  and may purchase and sell
options  thereon  in an  attempt  to hedge  against  changes  in the  prices  of
securities or, in the case of foreign currency  futures and options thereon,  to
hedge against changes in prevailing currency exchange rates. Because the futures
markets may be more liquid than the cash markets,  the use of futures  contracts
permits  each Series to enhance  portfolio  liquidity  and  maintain a defensive
position  without  having  to  sell  portfolio  securities.  Each  Series  views
investment in (i) interest rate and securities index futures and options thereon
as a maturity management device and/or a device to reduce risk or preserve total
return in an adverse  environment  for the hedged  securities,  and (ii) foreign
currency futures and options thereon as a means of establishing  more definitely
the effective  return on, or the purchase  price of,  securities  denominated in
foreign currencies that are held or intended to be acquired by the Series.

         AMT Limited  Maturity  Bond and Balanced  Investments  may purchase and
sell interest rate and bond index futures contracts and options thereon, and may
purchase and sell foreign currency  futures  contracts and options thereon in an
attempt to hedge against  changes in the prices of securities or, in the case of
foreign  currency  futures  and options  thereon,  to hedge  against  changes in
prevailing  currency  exchange  rates.  Because the futures  markets may be more
liquid  than the cash  markets,  the use of futures  permits a Series to enhance
portfolio  liquidity and maintain a defensive  position  without  having to sell
portfolio  securities.  The Series view investment in (1) interest rate and bond
index futures and options  thereon as a maturity or duration  management  device
and/or a device to reduce risk and preserve total return in an adverse  interest
rate environment for the hedged  securities and (2) foreign currency futures and
options thereon as a means of establishing  more definitely the effective return
on, or the purchase price of, securities  denominated in foreign currencies held
or intended to be acquired by the Series.

         AMT  International  Investments  may enter into  futures  contracts  on
currencies,  debt securities,  interest rates,  and securities  indices that are
traded on  exchanges  regulated  by the  Commodity  Futures  Trading  Commission
("CFTC") or on foreign exchanges. Trading on foreign exchanges is subject to the
legal  requirements of the  jurisdiction in which the exchange is located and to
the rules of such foreign exchange.

         AMT  International  Investments may sell futures  contracts in order to
offset a  possible  decline  in the value of its  portfolio  securities.  When a
futures  contract is sold by the Series,  the value of the contract will tend to
rise when the value of the portfolio  securities  declines and will tend to fall
when the value of such  securities  increases.  The Series may purchase  futures
contracts in order to fix what NB  Management  believes to be a favorable  price
for  securities  the  Series  intends  to  purchase.  If a futures  contract  is
purchased by the Series,  the value of the contract will tend to change together
with changes in the value of such  securities.  To compensate for differences in
historical volatility between positions AMT International  Investments wishes to
hedge and the  standardized  futures  contracts  available to it, the Series may
purchase  or sell  futures  contracts  with a greater  or lesser  value than the
securities it wishes to hedge.

         With respect to currency  futures,  AMT  International  Investments may
sell a futures  contract or a call  option,  or it may  purchase a put option on
such futures  contract,  if NB Management  anticipates that exchange rates for a
particular  currency will fall. Such a transaction  will be used as a hedge (or,
in the case of a sale of a call option,  a partial  hedge) against a decrease in
the value of portfolio securities denominated in that currency. If NB Management
anticipates that a particular currency will rise, AMT International  Investments
may purchase a currency  futures contract or a call option to protect against an
increase in the price of securities  which are  denominated in that currency and
which the Series  intends to purchase.  The Series may also  purchase a currency
futures  contract or a call  option  thereon for  non-hedging  purposes  when NB
Management  anticipates that a particular currency will appreciate in value, but
securities  denominated in that currency do not present an attractive investment
and are not included in the Series.

         AMT Guardian  Investments  may  purchase  and sell stock index  futures
contracts,  and may purchase and sell options thereon.  For purposes of managing
cash flow, the managers may use such futures and options to increase the Series'
exposure to the performance of a recognized  securities  index,  such as the S&P
"500" Index.

         A "sale" of a futures contract (or a "short" futures  position) entails
the assumption of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or currency
underlying  the  contract at a specified  price at a specified  future  time.  A
"purchase"  of a futures  contract (or a "long"  futures  position)  entails the
assumption  of a contractual  obligation  to acquire the  securities or currency
underlying the contract at a specified price at a specified future time. Certain
futures,  including  stock and bond  index  futures,  are  settled on a net cash
payment basis rather than by the sale and delivery of the securities  underlying
the futures.

         U.S. futures  contracts (except certain currency futures) are traded on
exchanges that have been designated as "contract  markets" by the CFTC;  futures
transactions  must be executed through a futures  commission  merchant that is a
member of the relevant  contract market.  In both U.S. and foreign  markets,  an
exchange's  affiliated  clearing  organization  guarantees  performance  of  the
contracts between the clearing members of the exchange.

         Although  futures  contracts  by their  terms may  require  the  actual
delivery or acquisition of the underlying  securities or currency, in most cases
the contractual obligation is extinguished by being offset before the expiration
of the  contract.  A futures  position is offset by buying (to offset an earlier
sale) or selling (to offset an earlier  purchase) an identical  futures contract
calling for  delivery  in the same  month.  This may result in a profit or loss.
While futures  contracts  entered into by a Series will usually be liquidated in
this  manner,  the  Series  may  instead  make or take  delivery  of  underlying
securities whenever it appears economically advantageous for it to do so.

         "Margin"  with  respect to a futures  contract  is the amount of assets
that  must be  deposited  by a Series  with,  or for the  benefit  of, a futures
commission  merchant  in order to initiate  and  maintain  the  Series'  futures
positions.  The margin  deposit made by the Series when it enters into a futures
contract  ("initial  margin")  is  intended  to assure  its  performance  of the
contract.  If the price of the futures contract changes -- increases in the case
of a short  (sale)  position  or  decreases  in the  case  of a long  (purchase)
position  -- so that the  unrealized  loss on the  contract  causes  the  margin
deposit not to satisfy margin requirements,  the Series will be required to make
an additional margin deposit ("variation  margin").  However, if favorable price
changes in the futures  contract cause the margin deposit to exceed the required
margin,  the excess will be paid to the Series.  In  computing  their NAVs,  the
Series  mark to market the value of their open  futures  positions.  Each Series
also must make margin  deposits  with  respect to options on futures that it has
written (but not with respect to options on futures that it has  purchased).  If
the futures  commission  merchant holding the margin deposit goes bankrupt,  the
Series could suffer a delay in recovering its funds and could ultimately  suffer
a loss.

         An option on a futures  contract  gives the  purchaser  the  right,  in
return for the  premium  paid,  to assume a  position  in the  contract  (a long
position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put) at
a specified  exercise price at any time during the option exercise  period.  The
writer of the  option  is  required  upon  exercise  to  assume a short  futures
position (if the option is a call) or a long futures  position (if the option is
a put).  Upon  exercise  of the  option,  the  accumulated  cash  balance in the
writer's  futures margin account is delivered to the holder of the option.  That
balance  represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract
at exercise  exceeds,  in the case of a call,  or is less than, in the case of a
put, the exercise price of the option.  Options on futures have  characteristics
and risks similar to those of securities options, as discussed herein.

         Although each Series  believes that the use of futures  contracts  will
benefit  it, if NB  Management's  judgment  about the general  direction  of the
markets or about  interest  rate or currency  exchange rate trends is incorrect,
the Series' (and corresponding  Portfolio's)  overall return would be lower than
if it had not entered into any such contracts.  Further,  an appropriate futures
contract may not be available even if the portfolio manager wishes to enter into
one. The prices of futures  contracts are volatile and are  influenced by, among
other things,  actual and anticipated  changes in interest or currency  exchange
rates,  which in turn are  affected  by  fiscal  and  monetary  policies  and by
national  and  international   political  and  economic  events.  At  best,  the
correlation  between  changes in prices of futures  contracts  and of securities
being hedged can be only approximate due to differences  between the futures and
securities   markets  or  differences   between  the  securities  or  currencies
underlying  a  Series'  futures  position  and the  securities  held by or to be
purchased  for the Series.  The  currency  futures  market may be  dominated  by
short-term  traders seeking to profit from changes in exchange rates. This would
reduce the value of such contracts  used for hedging  purposes over a short-term
period.  Such distortions are generally minor and would diminish as the contract
approaches maturity.

         Because of the low margin deposits  required,  futures trading involves
an extremely  high degree of  leverage;  as a result,  a relatively  small price
movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial  loss, or
gain, to the investor.  Losses that may arise from certain futures  transactions
are potentially unlimited.

         Most U.S.  futures  exchanges  limit the amount of  fluctuation  in the
price of a futures  contract or option thereon during a single trading day; once
the daily limit has been  reached,  no trades may be made on that day at a price
beyond  that  limit.  The daily  limit  governs  only price  movements  during a
particular  trading day,  however;  it thus does not limit potential  losses. In
fact,  it may  increase the risk of loss,  because  prices can move to the daily
limit for several  consecutive  trading days with little or no trading,  thereby
preventing   liquidation  of  unfavorable  futures  and  options  positions  and
subjecting traders to substantial losses. If this were to happen with respect to
a position  held by a Series,  it could  (depending on the size of the position)
have an adverse impact on the NAV of the Series (and corresponding Portfolio).

         Policies and  Limitations.  AMT Socially  Responsive and Mid-Cap Growth
Investments  may purchase and sell futures  contracts  and may purchase and sell
options  thereon  in an  attempt  to hedge  against  changes  in the  prices  of
securities or, in the case of foreign currency  futures and options thereon,  to
hedge against prevailing  currency exchange rates. The Series does not engage in
transactions  in futures  and  options on futures  for  speculation.  The use of
futures and options on futures by AMT  Socially  Responsive  Investments  is not
subject to the Social Policy.

         AMT  International  Investments  may purchase and sell futures for bona
fide  hedging  purposes,  as  defined  in  regulations  of  the  CFTC,  and  for
non-hedging purposes (i.e., in an effort to enhance income). The Series may also
purchase and write put and call options on such futures  contracts for bona fide
hedging and non-hedging purposes.

         AMT Guardian  Investments  may  purchase  and sell stock index  futures
contracts,  and may purchase and sell options thereon.  For purposes of managing
cash flow, the managers may use such futures and options to increase the Series'
exposure to the performance of a recognized  securities  index,  such as the S&P
"500" Index.

         AMT Limited  Maturity  Bond and Balanced  Investments  may purchase and
sell  interest  rate and bond index  futures and may  purchase  and sell options
thereon in an attempt to hedge against  changes in securities  prices  resulting
from changes in prevailing interest rates. The Series engage in foreign currency
futures  and  options  transactions  in an attempt to hedge  against  changes in
prevailing  currency  exchange rates.  Neither Series engages in transactions in
futures or options thereon for speculation.

         Call  Options on  Securities.  (All  Series  except  AMT  Liquid  Asset
Investments).  AMT, Socially Responsive,  Mid-Cap Growth, Limited Maturity Bond,
Balanced and  International  Investments  may write covered call options and may
purchase call options on securities.  Each of the other Series may write covered
call options and may purchase call options in related closing transactions.  The
purpose of writing call options is to hedge (i.e., to reduce,  at least in part,
the effect of price fluctuations of securities held by the Series on the Series'
and its  corresponding  Portfolio's  NAVs) or to earn premium income.  Portfolio
securities  on which call  options may be written and  purchased by a Series are
purchased solely on the basis of investment  considerations  consistent with the
Series' investment objective.

         When a Series writes a call option,  it is obligated to sell a security
to a  purchaser  at a  specified  price at any time until a certain  date if the
purchaser  decides to  exercise  the option.  The Series  receives a premium for
writing the call  option.  When writing call  options,  each Series  writes only
"covered"  call options on securities it owns. So long as the  obligation of the
call option continues,  the Series may be assigned an exercise notice, requiring
it to deliver the underlying security against payment of the exercise price. The
Series may be obligated to deliver securities  underlying an option at less than
the market price.

         When a Series purchases a call option,  it pays a premium for the right
to purchase a security  from the writer at a  specified  price until a specified
date.  A Series would  purchase a call option to protect  against an increase in
the price of securities it intends to purchase or to offset a previously written
call option.

         The  writing  of covered  call  options  is a  conservative  investment
technique that is believed to involve  relatively little risk, but is capable of
enhancing a Series' total return. When writing a covered call option, a Series ,
in return for the  premium,  gives up the  opportunity  for profit  from a price
increase in the  underlying  security above the exercise  price,  but conversely
retains the risk of loss should the price of the security decline.  When writing
a put option, a Series,  in return for the premium,  takes the risk that it must
purchase the underlying security at a price which may be higher than the current
market price of the security.

         If a call  option that a Series has written  expires  unexercised,  the
Series will realize a gain in the amount of the premium;  however, that gain may
be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying security during the
option period.  If the call option is exercised,  the Series will realize a gain
or loss from the sale of the underlying security.

         Policies  and  Limitations.  Income  Series  (except  AMT Liquid  Asset
Investments).  Each Series may write  covered call options and may purchase call
options on debt  securities  in its  portfolio or on foreign  currencies  in its
portfolio for hedging  purposes.  Each Series may write covered call options for
the  purpose of  producing  income.  Each  Series  will write a call option on a
security  only if it holds that  security or currency or has the right to obtain
the security or currency at no additional cost.

         Equity  Series.  Each  Series may write  covered  call  options and may
purchase call options in related closing  transactions.  Each Series writes only
"covered"  call  options on  securities  it owns (in  contrast to the writing of
"naked" or uncovered call options, which the Series will not do).

         A Series would  purchase a call option to offset a  previously  written
call option. Each of AMT Socially Responsive,  Mid-Cap Growth,  Limited Maturity
Bond and Balanced Investments also may purchase a call option to protect against
an increase in the price of the  securities  it intends to purchase.  The use of
call options on securities by AMT Socially Responsive Investments is not subject
to the Social Policy.  AMT  International  Investments may purchase call options
for hedging or non-hedging purposes.

         Put Options on Securities.  (AMT Socially  Responsive,  Mid-Cap Growth,
International,  Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced  Investments).  Each of these
Series may write and purchase put options on securities.

         The Series  will  receive a premium  for  writing a put  option,  which
obligates  the Series to acquire a security at a certain price at any time until
a certain date if the purchaser  decides to exercise the option.  The Series may
be obligated to purchase the underlying security at more than its current value.

         When a Series  purchases a put option,  it pays a premium to the writer
for the right to sell a security  to the writer  for a  specified  amount at any
time until a certain  date.  The Series would  purchase a put option in order to
protect itself against a decline in the market value of a security it owns.

         Portfolio  securities on which put options may be written and purchased
by a Series  are  purchased  solely  on the basis of  investment  considerations
consistent with the Series' investment objective. When writing a put option, the
Series,  in return for the  premium,  takes the risk that it must  purchase  the
underlying  security at a price that may be higher than the current market price
of  the  security.  If  a  put  option  that  the  Series  has  written  expires
unexercised, the Series will realize a gain in the amount of the premium.

         Policies and Limitations.  AMT Socially Responsive,  Mid-Cap Growth and
International Investments generally write and purchase put options on securities
for hedging  purposes  (i.e.,  to reduce,  at least in part, the effect of price
fluctuations   of  securities  held  by  the  Series  on  the  Series'  and  its
corresponding Portfolio's NAVs). However, AMT International Investments also may
use put options for non-hedging  purposes.  The use of put options on securities
by AMT Socially Responsive Investments is not subject to the Social Policy.

         AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced Investments  generally write and
purchase put options on securities or on foreign currencies for hedging purposes
(i.e.,  to  reduce,  at least in  part,  the  effect  of price  fluctuations  of
securities held by the Series on the Series' and its  corresponding  Portfolio's
NAVs).

         General Information About Securities Options.  The exercise price of an
option  may be below,  equal to, or above  the  market  value of the  underlying
security at the time the option is written.  Options  normally  have  expiration
dates  between  three  and nine  months  from the date  written.  American-style
options  are  exercisable  at any  time  prior  to their  expiration  date.  AMT
International  Investments also may purchase  European-style  options, which are
exercisable  only  immediately  prior to their  expiration  date. The obligation
under any option written by a Series  terminates  upon  expiration of the option
or, at an earlier  time,  when the Series  offsets the option by entering into a
"closing  purchase  transaction" to purchase an option of the same series. If an
option is purchased by a Series and is never exercised or closed out, the Series
will lose the entire amount of the premium paid.

         Options are traded both on U.S.  national  securities  exchanges and in
the  over-the-counter  ("OTC") market.  AMT  International  Investments also may
purchase and sell options that are traded on foreign exchanges.  Exchange-traded
options are issued by a clearing  organization  affiliated  with the exchange on
which the option is  listed;  the  clearing  organization  in effect  guarantees
completion  of every  exchange-traded  option.  In  contrast,  OTC  options  are
contracts  between a Series and a counter-party,  with no clearing  organization
guarantee.  Thus, when a Series sells (or purchases) an OTC option, it generally
will be able to "close out" the option prior to its expiration  only by entering
into a closing  transaction  with the  dealer to whom (or from  whom) the Series
originally  sold (or purchased)  the option.  There can be no assurance that the
Series would be able to liquidate an OTC option at any time prior to expiration.
Unless a Series is able to effect a closing  purchase  transaction  in a covered
OTC call option it has written, it will not be able to liquidate securities used
as cover until the option  expires or is exercised or until  different  cover is
substituted.  In the event of the  counter-party's  insolvency,  a Series may be
unable to liquidate its options position and the associated cover. NB Management
monitors the  creditworthiness  of dealers with which a Series may engage in OTC
options transactions.

         The  premium  received  (or  paid)  by a  Series  when  it  writes  (or
purchases)  an option is the amount at which the option is  currently  traded on
the applicable market. The premium may reflect,  among other things, the current
market price of the underlying security,  the relationship of the exercise price
to the market price, the historical price volatility of the underlying security,
the length of the option  period,  the general  supply of and demand for credit,
and the interest rate environment.  The premium received by a Series for writing
an option is  recorded as a liability  on the  Series'  statement  of assets and
liabilities.  This  liability is adjusted  daily to the option's  current market
value, which is the last reported sales price before the time the Series' NAV is
computed on the day the option is being  valued or, in the absence of any trades
thereof on that day, the mean between the bid and asked prices as of that time.

         Closing  transactions  are  effected  in order to  realize a profit (or
minimize a loss) on an  outstanding  option,  to prevent an underlying  security
from being called, or to permit the sale or the put of the underlying  security.
Furthermore, effecting a closing transaction permits the Series to write another
call  option on the  underlying  security  with a  different  exercise  price or
expiration date or both. There is, of course, no assurance that a Series will be
able to effect  closing  transactions  at favorable  prices.  If a Series cannot
enter into such a  transaction,  it may be required  to hold a security  that it
might  otherwise  have  sold (or  purchase  a  security  that it would  not have
otherwise  bought),  in which case it would continue to be at market risk on the
security.

         A  Series  will  realize  a  profit  or loss  from a  closing  purchase
transaction  if the cost of the  transaction  is less or more  than the  premium
received  from writing the call or put option.  Because  increases in the market
price of a call option  generally  reflect  increases in the market price of the
underlying security,  any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is
likely to be offset,  in whole or in part,  by  appreciation  of the  underlying
security  owned  by  the  Series;  however,  the  Series  could  be  in  a  less
advantageous position than if it had not written the call option.

         A Series  pays  brokerage  commissions  or spreads in  connection  with
purchasing  or  writing  options,  including  those  used to close out  existing
positions. From time to time, the Series may purchase an underlying security for
delivery in accordance  with an exercise notice of a call option assigned to it,
rather  than  delivering  the  security  from its  portfolio.  In  those  cases,
additional brokerage commissions are incurred.

         The hours of trading for  options  may not conform to the hours  during
which the  underlying  securities  are  traded.  To the extent  that the options
markets  close  before the markets for the  underlying  securities,  significant
price and rate movements can take place in the underlying markets that cannot be
reflected in the options markets.

         Policies and Limitations.  Each Series may use American-style  options.
AMT International  Investments may also purchase  European-style options and may
purchase and sell options that are traded on foreign exchanges.

         The  assets  used as cover (or held in a  segregated  account)  for OTC
options  written by a Series will be considered  illiquid unless the OTC options
are sold to qualified  dealers who agree that the Series may  repurchase any OTC
option it writes at a maximum  price to be  calculated by a formula set forth in
the option  agreement.  The cover for an OTC call option written subject to this
procedure  will be  considered  illiquid  only to the  extent  that the  maximum
repurchase price under the formula exceeds the intrinsic value of the option.

         The use of put and call options by AMT Socially Responsive  Investments
is not subject to the Social Policy.

         Put and Call Options on  Securities  Indices.  (AMT  International  and
Guardian Investments).  AMT International  Investments may purchase put and call
options on  securities  indices for the  purpose of hedging  against the risk of
price movements that would adversely affect the value of the Series'  securities
or securities the Series intends to buy. The Series may write  securities  index
options to close out positions in such options that it has purchased.

         For  purposes of  managing  cash flow,  AMT  Guardian  Investments  may
purchase  put and call  options on  securities  indices to increase  the Series'
exposure to the performance of a recognized  securities  index,  such as the S&P
"500" Index.

         Unlike a  securities  option,  which  gives  the  holder  the  right to
purchase or sell a  specified  security  at a  specified  price,  an option on a
securities  index  gives  the  holder  the  right to  receive  a cash  "exercise
settlement amount" equal to (1) the difference between the exercise price of the
option and the value of the underlying securities index on the exercise date (2)
multiplied by a fixed "index  multiplier." A securities  index  fluctuates  with
changes in the market values of the securities included in the index. Options on
stock indices are currently  traded on the Chicago Board Options  Exchange,  the
New York Stock Exchange  ("NYSE"),  the American Stock Exchange,  and other U.S.
and foreign exchanges.

         The  effectiveness  of hedging through the purchase of securities index
options will depend upon the extent to which price  movements in the  securities
being hedged  correlate with price movements in the selected  securities  index.
Perfect  correlation  is not  possible  because  the  securities  held  or to be
acquired by the Series will not exactly match the  composition of the securities
indices on which options are available.

         Securities  index  options have  characteristics  and risks  similar to
those of securities options, as discussed herein.

         Policies and Limitations.  AMT  International  Investments may purchase
put and call  options on  securities  indices for the  purpose of  hedging.  All
securities index options purchased by the Series will be listed and traded on an
exchange.  The Series currently does not expect to invest a substantial  portion
of its assets in securities index options.

         For  purposes of  managing  cash flow,  AMT  Guardian  Investments  may
purchase  put and call  options on  securities  indices to increase  the Series'
exposure to the performance of a recognized  securities  index,  such as the S&P
"500" Index. All securities index options purchased by AMT Guardian  Investments
will be listed and traded on an exchange.

         Foreign  Currency  Transactions.  (All Series  except AMT Liquid  Asset
Investments). Each Series may enter into contracts for the purchase or sale of a
specific  currency at a future date (usually less than one year from the date of
the contract) at a fixed price ("forward contracts"). The Series also may engage
in foreign currency  exchange  transactions on a spot (i.e.,  cash) basis at the
spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market.

         The  Series  (other  than AMT  International  Investments)  enter  into
forward contracts in an attempt to hedge against changes in prevailing  currency
exchange rates.  The Series do not engage in  transactions in forward  contracts
for  speculation;  they view  investments  in  forward  contracts  as a means of
establishing  more definitely the effective return on, or the purchase price of,
securities  denominated in foreign  currencies.  Forward  contract  transactions
include  forward  sales or  purchases of foreign  currencies  for the purpose of
protecting  the U.S.  dollar  value of  securities  held or to be  acquired by a
Series or protecting the U.S. dollar equivalent of dividends, interest, or other
payments on those securities.

         Forward  contracts are traded in the interbank  market directly between
dealers (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A forward contract
generally  has no deposit  requirement,  and no  commissions  are charged at any
stage  for  trades;  foreign  exchange  dealers  realize  a profit  based on the
difference  (the spread) between the prices at which they are buying and selling
various currencies.

         At the  consummation of a forward  contract to sell currency,  a Series
may either make delivery of the foreign  currency or terminate  its  contractual
obligation  to deliver  by  purchasing  an  offsetting  contract.  If the Series
chooses to make delivery of the foreign  currency,  it may be required to obtain
such  currency  through the sale of  portfolio  securities  denominated  in such
currency or through conversion of other assets of the Series into such currency.
If the Series  engages in an offsetting  transaction,  it will incur a gain or a
loss to the  extent  that there has been a change in  forward  contract  prices.
Closing purchase transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually made
with the currency dealer who is a party to the original forward contract.

         NB  Management  believes  that  the  use of  foreign  currency  hedging
techniques,  including "proxy-hedges," can provide significant protection of NAV
in the event of a general rise in the U.S.  dollar against  foreign  currencies.
For example,  the return  available from securities  denominated in a particular
foreign  currency  would  diminish  if the  value of the U.S.  dollar  increased
against that currency. Such a decline could be partially or completely offset by
an  increase  in value of a hedge  involving  a  forward  contract  to sell that
foreign  currency  or a  proxy-hedge  involving  a  forward  contract  to sell a
different  foreign  currency whose behavior is expected to resemble the currency
in which the securities  being hedged are  denominated but which is available on
more advantageous terms.

         However,  a hedge or proxy-hedge  cannot protect against  exchange rate
risks  perfectly,  and, if NB  Management is incorrect in its judgment of future
exchange rate relationships,  a Series could be in a less advantageous  position
than if such a hedge had not been established.  If a Series uses  proxy-hedging,
it may  experience  losses on both the currency in which it has invested and the
currency  used for hedging if the two  currencies  do not vary with the expected
degree of correlation. Using forward contracts to protect the value of a Series'
securities  against a  decline  in the value of a  currency  does not  eliminate
fluctuations  in  the  prices  of the  underlying  securities.  Because  forward
contracts are not traded on an exchange, the assets used to cover such contracts
may be illiquid. A Series may experience delays in the settlement of its foreign
currency transactions.

         AMT  International  Investments  may purchase  securities  of an issuer
domiciled in a country other than the country in whose  currency the  instrument
is denominated.  The Series may invest in securities denominated in the European
Currency Unit ("ECU"),  which is a "basket"  consisting of a specified amount of
the  currencies  of certain  of the member  states of the  European  Union.  The
specific amounts of currencies comprising the ECU may be adjusted by the Council
of  Ministers  of the  European  Union from time to time to  reflect  changes in
relative  values of the  underlying  currencies.  The market for ECUs may become
illiquid  at times of  uncertainty  or rapid  change  in the  European  currency
markets,  limiting the Series' ability to prevent potential losses. In addition,
AMT  International  Investments  may invest in securities  denominated  in other
currency baskets.

         Policies  and  Limitations.  The Series  (other than AMT  International
Investments) may enter into forward contracts for the purpose of hedging and not
for  speculation.  The  use of  forward  contracts  by AMT  Socially  Responsive
Investments is not subject to the Social Policy.

         AMT  International  Investments  may enter into forward  contracts  for
hedging or non-hedging  purposes.  When the Series  engages in foreign  currency
transactions for hedging  purposes,  it will not enter into forward contracts to
sell currency or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if their consummation
would obligate the Series to deliver an amount of foreign currency materially in
excess of the value of its portfolio  securities or other assets  denominated in
that currency. AMT International  Investments may also purchase and sell forward
contracts for non-hedging purposes when NB Management anticipates that a foreign
currency will appreciate or depreciate in value, but securities in that currency
do not  present  attractive  investment  opportunities  and are not  held in the
Series' investment portfolio.

         Options on Foreign  Currencies.  (All  Series  except AMT Liquid  Asset
Investments). Each Series may write and purchase covered call and put options on
foreign  currencies.  AMT  International  Investments  may write  (sell) put and
covered  call options on any  currency in order to realize  greater  income than
would be realized on portfolio securities alone.

         Currency  options have  characteristics  and risks  similar to those of
securities options,  as discussed herein.  Certain options on foreign currencies
are traded on the OTC market and involve liquidity and credit risks that may not
be present in the case of exchange-traded currency options.

         Policies  and  Limitations.  A Series  would  use  options  on  foreign
currencies  to protect  against  declines in the U.S.  dollar value of portfolio
securities or increases in the U.S.  dollar cost of securities to be acquired or
to protect the U.S. dollar equivalent of dividends,  interest, or other payments
on those securities. In addition, AMT International Investments may purchase put
and  call  options  on  foreign  currencies  for  non-hedging  purposes  when NB
Management  anticipates  that a currency will appreciate or depreciate in value,
but securities denominated in that currency do not present attractive investment
opportunities  and  are not  included  in the  Series.  The  use of  options  on
currencies by AMT Socially  Responsive  Investments is not subject to the Social
Policy.

         Regulatory Limitations on Using Financial Instruments.  To the extent a
Series sells or purchases futures contracts or writes options thereon or options
on foreign currencies that are traded on an exchange regulated by the CFTC other
than for bona fide  hedging  purposes  (as defined by the CFTC),  the  aggregate
initial  margin and premiums on those  positions  (excluding the amount by which
options are  "in-the-money")  may not exceed 5% of the  Series' net assets.  AMT
Growth and Partners Investments do not intend to invest in futures contracts and
options thereon during the coming year.

         Cover  for  Financial  Instruments.  Securities  held  in a  segregated
account cannot be sold while the futures,  options,  or forward strategy covered
by those securities is outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable
assets. As a result, segregation of a large percentage of a Series' assets could
impede portfolio  management or the Series' ability to meet current obligations.
A Series  may be unable  to  promptly  dispose  of assets  which  cover,  or are
segregated with respect to, an illiquid futures,  options,  or forward position;
this inability may result in a loss to the Series.

         Policies and  Limitations.  Each Series will comply with SEC guidelines
regarding  "cover" for Financial  Instruments and, if the guidelines so require,
set aside in a segregated  account with its custodian the  prescribed  amount of
cash or appropriate liquid securities.

         General  Risks of  Financial  Instruments.  The primary  risks in using
Financial  Instruments are (1) imperfect  correlation or no correlation  between
changes in market value of the  securities or currencies  held or to be acquired
by a Series and the prices of  Financial  Instruments;  (2)  possible  lack of a
liquid secondary market for Financial Instruments and the resulting inability to
close out  Financial  Instruments  when  desired;  (3) the fact that the  skills
needed to use Financial  Instruments are different from those needed to select a
Series' securities; (4) the fact that, although use of Financial Instruments for
hedging  purposes  can  reduce  the  risk of loss,  they  also  can  reduce  the
opportunity  for gain, or even result in losses,  by offsetting  favorable price
movements in hedged  investments;  and (5) the possible inability of a Series to
purchase  or  sell a  portfolio  security  at a time  that  would  otherwise  be
favorable for it to do so, or the possible need for a Series to sell a portfolio
security at a  disadvantageous  time,  due to its need to  maintain  cover or to
segregate securities in connection with its use of Financial Instruments.  There
can be no  assurance  that  a  Series'  use of  Financial  Instruments  will  be
successful.

         Each  Series'  use  of  Financial  Instruments  may be  limited  by the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), with which
it must  comply if its  corresponding  Portfolio  is to continue to qualify as a
regulated   investment  company  ("RIC").   See  "Additional  Tax  Information."
Financial  Instruments  may not be available  with  respect to some  currencies,
especially those of so-called emerging market countries.

         Policies and Limitations.  NB Management  intends to reduce the risk of
imperfect  correlation by investing only in Financial Instruments whose behavior
is expected to resemble  or offset that of a Series'  underlying  securities  or
currency.  NB Management intends to reduce the risk that a Series will be unable
to close out Financial Instruments by entering into such transactions only if NB
Management believes there will be an active and liquid secondary market.

         Indexed  Securities.  (AMT Limited  Maturity  Bond,  International  and
Balanced  Investments).  These  Series may invest in  securities  whose value is
linked to foreign  currencies,  interest rates,  commodities,  indices, or other
financial indicators ("indexed securities").  Most indexed securities are short-
to  intermediate-term  fixed  income  securities  whose  values at  maturity  or
interest  rates rise or fall  according  to the change in one or more  specified
underlying instruments. The value of indexed securities may increase or decrease
if  the   underlying   instrument   appreciates,   and  they  may  have   return
characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying instrument or to
one or more options thereon.  However, some indexed securities are more volatile
than the underlying instrument itself.

         Inflation-Indexed  Securities.  (AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced
Investments).  The Series may invest in U.S. Treasury securities whose principal
value is adjusted daily in accordance  with changes to the Consumer Price Index.
Such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.  Government.
Interest is calculated on the basis of the current adjusted principal value. The
principal  value  of   inflation-indexed   securities  declines  in  periods  of
deflation,  but holders at maturity  receive no less than par. If  inflation  is
lower than expected  during the period a Series holds the  security,  the Series
may earn less on it than on a conventional bond.

         Because the coupon rate on  inflation-indexed  securities is lower than
fixed-rate U.S. Treasury securities, the Consumer Price Index would have to rise
at least to the amount of the  difference  between  the coupon rate of the fixed
rate  U.S.  Treasury  issues  and  the  coupon  rate  of  the  inflation-indexed
securities,  assuming all other factors are equal,  in order for such securities
to   match   the   performance   of   the   fixed-rate   Treasury    securities.
Inflation-indexed  securities are expected to react  primarily to changes in the
"real"  interest  rate (i.e.,  the  nominal  (or  stated)  rate less the rate of
inflation), while a typical bond reacts to changes in the nominal interest rate.
Accordingly,  inflation-indexed  securities have  characteristics  of fixed-rate
Treasuries  having a shorter  duration.  Changes in market  interest  rates from
causes  other  than   inflation   will  likely   affect  the  market  prices  of
inflation-indexed securities in the same manner as conventional bonds.

         Short Sales. (AMT International Investments). The Series may attempt to
limit exposure to a possible decline in the market value of portfolio securities
through short sales of securities that NB Management believes possess volatility
characteristics  similar to those  being  hedged.  The Series also may use short
sales in an attempt to realize gain. To effect a short sale,  the Series borrows
a security from a brokerage firm to make delivery to the buyer.  The Series then
is obliged to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at the market price
at the time of  replacement.  Until the  security  is  replaced,  the  Series is
required to pay the lender any dividends and may be required to pay a premium or
interest.

         The  Series  will  realize  a gain if the  security  declines  in price
between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Series replaces the
borrowed  security.  The Series  will incur a loss if the price of the  security
increases between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the
amount of any loss  increased,  by the  amount of any  premium or  interest  the
Series is required to pay in  connection  with the short sale. A short  position
may be adversely  affected by  imperfect  correlation  between  movements in the
price of the securities sold short and the securities being hedged.

         The Series also may make short sales against-the-box, in which it sells
securities  short only if it owns or has the right to obtain without  payment of
additional consideration an equal amount of the same type of securities sold.

         The  effect of short  selling on the Series is similar to the effect of
leverage. Short selling may amplify changes in the Series' and its corresponding
Portfolio's  NAVs.  Short selling may also produce higher than normal  portfolio
turnover, which may result in increased transaction costs to the Series.

         Policies and Limitations. Under applicable guidelines of the SEC staff,
if the Series engages in a short sale (other than a short sale against-the-box),
it must put in a  segregated  account (not with the broker) an amount of cash or
appropriate  liquid  securities  equal to the difference  between (1) the market
value of the securities  sold short at the time they were sold short and (2) any
cash or  securities  required to be deposited as  collateral  with the broker in
connection with the short sale (not including the proceeds from the short sale).
In addition,  until the Series  replaces the  borrowed  security,  it must daily
maintain the segregated account at such a level that (1) the amount deposited in
it plus the amount  deposited  with the broker as collateral  equals the current
market value of the securities  sold short,  and (2) the amount  deposited in it
plus the amount  deposited  with the broker as  collateral  is not less than the
market value of the securities at the time they were sold short.

         Asset-Backed  Securities.  (AMT Liquid Asset, Limited Maturity Bond and
Balanced  Investments).  Asset-backed  securities  represent  direct or indirect
participations  in, or are secured by and payable from,  pools of assets such as
motor vehicle installment sales contracts, installment loan contracts, leases of
various types of real and personal  property,  and  receivables  from  revolving
credit (credit card) agreements. These assets are securitized through the use of
trusts and special purpose  corporations.  Credit enhancements,  such as various
forms of cash collateral  accounts or letters of credit, may support payments of
principal and interest on asset-backed securities. Although these securities may
be  supported  by letters  of credit or other  credit  enhancements,  payment of
interest and principal ultimately depends upon individuals paying the underlying
loans,  which may be affected  adversely  by general  downturns  in the economy.
Asset-backed  securities  are subject to the same risk of  prepayment  described
with  respect  to  mortgage-backed   securities.   The  risk  that  recovery  on
repossessed  collateral might be unavailable or inadequate to support  payments,
however,  is  greater  for  asset-backed  securities  than  for  mortgage-backed
securities.

         Certificates   for  Automobile   Receivablessm   ("CARSsm")   represent
undivided  fractional  interests  in a trust whose  assets  consist of a pool of
motor vehicle retail  installment sales contracts and security  interests in the
vehicles  securing  those  contracts.  Payment of principal  and interest on the
underlying  contracts are passed through monthly to certificate  holders and are
guaranteed  up to specified  amounts by a letter of credit issued by a financial
institution unaffiliated with the trustee or originator of the trust. Underlying
installment  sales  contracts  are subject to  prepayment,  which may reduce the
overall return to certificate  holders.  Certificate holders also may experience
delays in  payment or losses on CARSsm if the trust  does not  realize  the full
amounts due on underlying  installment  sales contracts because of unanticipated
legal or administrative costs of enforcing the contracts;  depreciation, damage,
or loss of the vehicles securing the contracts; or other factors.

         Credit  card  receivable  securities  are  backed by  receivables  from
revolving credit card agreements  ("Accounts").  Credit balances on Accounts are
generally  paid down more rapidly  than are  automobile  contracts.  Most of the
credit card receivable securities issued publicly to date have been pass-through
certificates.  In order to  lengthen  their  maturity  or  duration,  most  such
securities provide for a fixed period during which only interest payments on the
underlying  Accounts  are  passed  through  to the  security  holder;  principal
payments  received on the Accounts  are used to fund the transfer of  additional
credit card charges made on the  Accounts to the pool of assets  supporting  the
securities.  Usually,  the initial  fixed  period may be  shortened if specified
events occur which signal a potential deterioration in the quality of the assets
backing the  security,  such as the  imposition of a cap on interest  rates.  An
issuer's  ability  to  extend  the life of an issue of  credit  card  receivable
securities thus depends on the continued  generation of principal amounts in the
underlying  Accounts  and  the  non-occurrence  of  the  specified  events.  The
non-deductibility  of  consumer  interest,  as well as  competitive  and general
economic  factors,  could adversely affect the rate at which new receivables are
created in an Account and conveyed to an issuer, thereby shortening the expected
weighted  average  life of the  related  security  and  reducing  its yield.  An
acceleration in cardholders'  payment rates or any other event that shortens the
period  during  which  additional  credit  card  charges  on an  Account  may be
transferred to the pool of assets  supporting the related  security could have a
similar effect on its weighted average life and yield.

         Credit  cardholders are entitled to the protection of state and federal
consumer  credit  laws.  Many of those  laws give a holder  the right to set off
certain  amounts  against  balances  owed on the credit card,  thereby  reducing
amounts paid on  Accounts.  In addition,  unlike the  collateral  for most other
asset-backed securities, Accounts are unsecured obligations of the cardholder.

         AMT Limited  Maturity Bond and Balanced  Investments each may invest in
trust preferred  securities,  which are a type of asset-backed  security.  Trust
preferred  securities  represent interests in a trust formed by a parent company
to finance  its  operations.  The trust sells  preferred  shares and invests the
proceeds in debt  securities of the parent.  This debt may be  subordinated  and
unsecured.  Dividend  payments  on the  trust  preferred  securities  match  the
interest  payments  on the debt  securities;  if no interest is paid on the debt
securities,   the  trust  will  not  make  current  payments  on  its  preferred
securities.  Unlike typical asset-backed securities,  which have many underlying
payors and are usually overcollateralized,  trust preferred securities have only
one underlying payor and are not overcollateralized.  Issuers of trust preferred
securities and their parents currently enjoy favorable tax treatment. If the tax
characterization  of trust preferred  securities  were to change,  they could be
redeemed by the issuers, which could result in a loss to a Series.

         Convertible  Securities.  (Equity  Series).  Each  Series may invest in
convertible  securities.  A  convertible  security is a bond,  debenture,  note,
preferred stock, or other security that may be converted into or exchanged for a
prescribed  amount of common  stock of the same or a different  issuer  within a
particular  period  of  time  at  a  specified  price  or  formula.  convertible
securities generally have features of both common stocks and debt securities.  A
convertible  security entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on
debt or the dividend  paid on  preferred  stock until the  convertible  security
matures or is redeemed,  converted or exchanged. Before conversion,  convertible
securities  ordinarily  provide a stream of income with generally  higher yields
than those of common stocks of the same or similar  issuers,  but lower than the
yield on non-convertible debt.  Convertible  securities are usually subordinated
to comparable-tier  nonconvertible securities but rank senior to common stock in
a  corporation's  capital  structure.  The value of a convertible  security is a
function of (1) its yield in comparison  with the yields of other  securities of
comparable maturity and quality that do not have a conversion privilege, and (2)
its worth, at market value, if converted into the underlying common stock.

         The price of a convertible  security often reflects such  variations in
the price of the underlying common stock in a way that  nonconvertible debt does
not.  Convertible   securities  are  typically  issued  by  smaller  capitalized
companies whose stock prices may be volatile.  A convertible security is a bond,
debenture,  note,  preferred stock, or other security that may be converted into
or exchanged for a prescribed  amount of common stock of the same or a different
issuer  within a  particular  period of time at a  specified  price or  formula.
Convertible  securities  generally  have features of both common stocks and debt
securities. A convertible security may be subject to redemption at the option of
the issuer at a price established in the security's governing  instrument.  If a
convertible security held by a Series is called for redemption,  the Series will
be required to convert it into the underlying  common stock,  sell it to a third
party or permit the issuer to redeem the  security.  Any of these  actions could
have an adverse effect on a Series' and its corresponding Portfolio's ability to
achieve its investment objective.

        Policies and Limitations. AMT Socially Responsive Investments may invest
up to 20% of its net  assets in  convertible  securities.  The  Series  does not
intend to purchase any  convertible  securities  that are not investment  grade.
Convertible debt securities are subject to each Series' investment  policies and
limitations concerning debt securities.

         Preferred Stock.  (Equity  Series).  The Series may invest in preferred
stock. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, dividends on preferred stock
are  generally  payable at the  discretion  of the issuer's  board of directors,
although  preferred  shareholders  may have certain  rights if dividends are not
paid.  Shareholders  may suffer a loss of value if dividends  are not paid,  and
generally  have no legal  recourse  against  the  issuer.  The market  prices of
preferred  stocks are  generally  more  sensitive  to  changes  in the  issuer's
creditworthiness than are the prices of debt securities.

         Zero Coupon (AMT Partners,  International,  Guardian,  Growth,  Mid-Cap
Growth,  Socially Responsive,  Limited Maturity Bond, Balanced, and Liquid Asset
Investments) and Step Coupon Securities. (AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced
Investments).  The Series may invest in zero coupon  securities  and AMT Limited
Maturity  Bond and Balanced  Investments  may invest in step coupon  securities,
both of  which  are debt  obligations  that do not  entitle  the  holder  to any
periodic  payment of interest  prior to  maturity or that  specify a future date
when the securities begin paying current interest.  Rather,  they are issued and
traded at a  significant  discount  from  their face  amount or par  value.  The
discount varies depending on prevailing interest rates, the time remaining until
cash payments  begin,  the liquidity of the security,  and the perceived  credit
quality of the issuer. They are redeemed at face value when they mature.

         The discount on zero coupon and step coupon securities ("original issue
discount" or "OID") must be taken into income  ratably by each such Series prior
to the receipt of any actual payments. Because each Portfolio must distribute to
its shareholders substantially all of its net income (including its share of its
corresponding  Series' accrued OID) to its shareholders each year for income tax
purposes,   a  Series  may  have  to  dispose  of  portfolio   securities  under
disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash, or may be required to borrow, to
satisfy its corresponding Portfolio's distribution requirements.

         The market prices of zero and step coupon securities generally are more
volatile than the prices of securities  that pay interest  periodically  and are
likely to respond to changes in  interest  rates to a greater  degree than other
types of debt securities having similar maturities and credit quality.

         Municipal  Obligations.  (Income  Series).  Municipal  obligations  are
securities  issued  by or on behalf of states  (as used  herein,  including  the
District of  Columbia),  territories  and  possessions  of the United States and
their political subdivisions,  agencies, and instrumentalities.  The interest on
municipal   obligations  is  generally  exempt  from  federal  income  tax.  The
tax-exempt  status of any issue of municipal  obligations  is  determined on the
basis of an opinion of the issuer's bond counsel at the time the obligations are
issued.

         Municipal  obligations include "general obligation"  securities,  which
are backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, and "revenue" securities,
which are backed only by the income from a specific project,  facility,  or tax.
Municipal  obligations also include industrial  development and private activity
bonds which are issued by or on behalf of public authorities, but are not backed
by the credit of any  governmental or public  authority.  "Anticipation  notes",
which  are  also  municipal   obligations,   are  issued  by  municipalities  in
expectation  of future  proceeds  from the  issuance of bonds,  or from taxes or
other  revenues,  and are payable from those bond proceeds,  taxes, or revenues.
Municipal  obligations also include tax-exempt commercial paper, which is issued
by municipalities to help finance short-term capital or operating requirements.

         The value of  municipal  obligations  is  dependent  on the  continuing
payment of  interest  and  principal  when due by the  issuers of the  municipal
obligations in which a Series invests (or, in the case of industrial development
bonds,  the  revenues  generated  by the  facility  financed by the bonds or, in
certain other instances, the provider of the credit facility backing the bonds).
As with other fixed income  securities,  an increase in interest rates generally
will reduce the value of a Series' investments in municipal obligations, whereas
a decline in interest rates generally will increase that value.

         Current efforts to restructure the federal budget and the  relationship
between the federal  government  and state and local  governments  may adversely
impact the  financing of some issuers of municipal  securities.  Some states and
localities are experiencing  substantial  deficits and may find it difficult for
political or economic reasons to increase taxes.  Efforts are under way that may
result in a restructuring of the federal income tax system.  These  developments
could  reduce  the  value of all  municipal  securities,  or the  securities  of
particular issuers.

         Policies and  Limitations.  AMT Limited  Maturity  Bond  Portfolio  may
invest up to 5% of its net assets in  municipal  obligations.  AMT Liquid  Asset
Investments may invest in municipal obligations that otherwise meet its criteria
for quality and maturity.

         U.S.  Government and Agency Securities.  (All Series).  U.S. Government
Securities  are  obligations of the U.S.  Treasury  backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States.  U.S.  Government  Agency  Securities are issued or
guaranteed by U.S.  Government  agencies,  or by  instrumentalities  of the U.S.
Government,  such as the  Government  National  Mortgage  Association  ("GNMA"),
Fannie Mae (also known as the Federal National  Mortgage  Association),  Freddie
Mac (also known as the Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation),  Student Loan
Marketing  Association  (commonly known as "Sallie Mae"),  and Tennessee  Valley
Authority.  Some U.S.  Government  Agency  Securities  are supported by the full
faith and credit of the United  States,  while  others may be  supported  by the
issuer's  ability to borrow from the U.S.  Treasury,  subject to the  Treasury's
discretion  in  certain  cases,  or  only  by the  credit  of the  issuer.  U.S.
Government Agency  Securities  include U.S.  Government  Agency  mortgage-backed
securities. (See "Mortgage-Backed Securities," below.) The market prices of U.S.
Government  Agency Securities are not guaranteed by the Government and generally
fluctuate inversely with changing interest rates.

         Policies and Limitations.  AMT Liquid Asset  Investments may invest 25%
or more of its total assets in U.S. Government and Agency Securities. The Equity
Series  normally may invest up to 35% of their total assets in debt  securities,
including U.S. Government and Agency securities.

         Swap Agreements. (AMT International Investments).  The Series may enter
into  swap  agreements  to  manage  or gain  exposure  to  particular  types  of
investments  (including  equity  securities  or indices of equity  securities in
which the Series  otherwise  could not invest  efficiently).  In an example of a
swap  agreement,  one party agrees to make regular  payments equal to a floating
rate on a specified  amount in exchange for payments equal to a fixed rate, or a
different floating rate, on the same amount for a specified period.

         Swap  agreements  may  involve  leverage  and may be  highly  volatile;
depending  on how they are  used,  they may have a  considerable  impact  on the
Series' performance.  The risks of swap agreements depend upon the other party's
creditworthiness  and  ability to  perform,  as well as the  Series'  ability to
terminate  its  swap  agreements  or  reduce  its  exposure  through  offsetting
transactions. Swap agreements may be illiquid. The swap market is relatively new
and is largely unregulated.

         Policies and  Limitations.  In accordance with SEC staff  requirements,
the Series will  segregate cash or  appropriate  liquid  securities in an amount
equal to its obligations under swap agreements;  when an agreement  provides for
netting of the payments by the two parties,  the Series will  segregate only the
amount of its net obligation, if any.

         Fixed  Income  Securities.  (All  Series).  The  Income  Series  invest
primarily in fixed income  securities.  While the emphasis of the Equity Series'
investment programs is on common stocks and other equity securities,  the Series
may  also  invest  in money  market  instruments,  U.S.  Government  and  Agency
Securities,  and other  fixed  income  securities.  Each  Series  may  invest in
investment grade corporate bonds and debentures.  AMT Partners,  Mid-Cap Growth,
Limited Maturity Bond, Balanced and International Investments each may invest in
corporate debt securities rated below investment grade.

         U.S. Government  Securities are obligations of the U.S. Treasury backed
by the full  faith and  credit of the  United  States.  U.S.  Government  Agency
Securities  are  issued  or  guaranteed  by  U.S.   Government  agencies  or  by
instrumentalities  of the  U.S.  Government,  such  as the  Government  National
Mortgage  Association,  Fannie  Mae (also  known as  Federal  National  Mortgage
Association),   Freddie   Mac  (also  known  as  Federal   Home  Loan   Mortgage
Corporation),  Student Loan  Marketing  Association  (commonly  known as "Sallie
Mae"),  and  the  Tennessee  Valley  Authority.   Some  U.S.  Government  Agency
Securities  are  supported  by the full faith and  credit of the United  States,
while others may by  supported  by the issuer's  ability to borrow from the U.S.
Treasury,  subject to the Treasury's discretion in certain cases, or only by the
credit of the issuer.  U.S. Government Agency Securities include U.S. Government
Agency  mortgage-backed  securities.  The market prices of U.S.  Government  and
Agency Securities are not guaranteed by the Government.

         "Investment  grade" debt securities are those receiving one of the four
highest ratings from Moody's Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's"),  Standard &
Poor's ("S&P"), or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization
("NRSRO") or, if unrated by any NRSRO,  deemed by NB Management to be comparable
to such rated securities ("Comparable Unrated Securities").  Securities rated by
Moody's  in its fourth  highest  rating  category  (Baa) or  Comparable  Unrated
Securities may be deemed to have speculative characteristics.

         The  ratings of an NRSRO  represent  its  opinion as to the  quality of
securities it undertakes to rate. Ratings are not absolute standards of quality;
consequently,  securities  with the same maturity,  coupon,  and rating may have
different yields.  Although the Portfolios may rely on the ratings of any NRSRO,
the Portfolios primarily refer to ratings assigned by S&P and Moody's, which are
described in Appendix A to this SAI.

         Fixed  income  securities  are  subject  to  the  risk  of an  issuer's
inability to meet principal and interest  payments on its  obligations  ("credit
risk") and are subject to price  volatility due to such factors as interest rate
sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer, and market
liquidity  ("market risk").  The value of the fixed income securities in which a
Series may invest is likely to decline in times of rising market interest rates.
Conversely,  when rates fall, the value of a Series' fixed income investments is
likely to rise. Foreign debt securities are subject to risks similar to those of
other foreign  securities.  Lower rated  securities  are more likely to react to
developments  affecting  market  and  credit  risk  than are more  highly  rated
securities,  which react primarily to movements in the general level of interest
rates.

         Lower Rated Debt  Securities.  (AMT  Balanced,  Limited  Maturity Bond,
Mid-Cap  Growth,  Partners  and  International  Investments).  Lower-rated  debt
securities or "junk bonds" are those rated below the fourth highest  category by
all NRSROs that have rated them (including those securities rated as low as D by
S&P) or  unrated  securities  of  comparable  quality.  Securities  rated  below
investment grade may be considered  speculative.  These securities are deemed to
be  predominantly  speculative  with  respect to the  issuer's  capacity  to pay
interest and repay  principal.  Lower rated debt  securities  generally  offer a
higher  current  yield than that  available  for  investment  grade  issues with
similar  maturities,  but  they  may  involve  significant  risk  under  adverse
conditions. In particular, adverse changes in general economic conditions and in
the  industries  in which the issuers  are engaged and changes in the  financial
condition  of the issuers are more likely to cause price  volatility  and weaken
the capacity of the issuer to make  principal and interest  payments than is the
case for  higher-grade  debt securities.  In addition,  a Series that invests in
lower-quality securities may incur additional expenses to the extent recovery is
sought on defaulted securities.  Because of the many risks involved in investing
in high-yield  securities,  the success of such  investments is dependent on the
credit analysis of NB Management.

         During periods of economic  downturn or rising interest  rates,  highly
leveraged  issuers may experience  financial stress which could adversely affect
their  ability to make  payments of interest  and  principal  and  increase  the
possibility of default. In addition,  such issuers may not have more traditional
methods  of  financing  available  to them and may be  unable  to repay  debt at
maturity  by  refinancing.  The risk of loss due to default  by such  issuers is
significantly  greater  because such  securities  frequently  are  unsecured and
subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness.

         The market for lower  rated debt  securities  has  expanded  rapidly in
recent years, and its growth generally paralleled a long economic expansion.  In
the past, the prices of many lower rated debt securities declined substantially,
reflecting an expectation  that many issuers of such securities might experience
financial  difficulties.  As a result, the yields on lower rated debt securities
rose dramatically.  However, such higher yields did not reflect the value of the
income stream that holders of such securities expected, but rather the risk that
holders of such securities could lose a substantial  portion of their value as a
result of the issuers'  financial  restructuring  or  defaults.  There can be no
assurance that such declines will not recur.

         The market for lower  rated debt  issues  generally  is thinner or less
active  than  that for  higher  quality  securities,  which  may limit a Series'
ability  to sell such  securities  at fair value in  response  to changes in the
economy or financial  markets.  Judgment may play a greater role in pricing such
securities  than it does for  more  liquid  securities.  Adverse  publicity  and
investor  perceptions,  whether or not based on fundamental  analysis,  may also
decrease the values and liquidity of lower rated debt securities,  especially in
a thinly traded market.

         See  Appendix  A for  further  information  about the  ratings  of debt
securities assigned by S&P and Moody's.

         Policies and Limitations. AMT Partners Investments may invest up to 15%
of its net  assets,  measured  at the  time of  investment,  in  corporate  debt
securities rated below investment grade or Comparable  Unrated  Securities.  AMT
Limited  Maturity Bond and Mid-Cap  Growth  Investments  may invest up to 10% of
their net assets,  measured at the time of investment,  in debt securities rated
below  investment  grade,  but  rated at  least B with  respect  to AMT  Limited
Maturity Bond  Investments and C with respect to AMT Mid-Cap Growth  Investments
by S&P or Moody's,  or Comparable Unrated Securities;  AMT Balanced  Investments
may invest up to 10% of the debt securities portion of its investments, measured
at the time of investment,  in debt securities rated below investment grade, but
rated at least B by S&P or Moody's, or Comparable Unrated Securities.

         AMT  International  Investments may invest in domestic and foreign debt
securities  of any rating,  including  those rated  below  investment  grade and
Comparable Unrated Securities.

         Subsequent to its purchase by a Series, an issue of debt securities may
cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced,  so that the securities would no
longer be eligible  for purchase by that  Series.  In such a case,  AMT Socially
Responsive  Investments will engage in an orderly  disposition of the downgraded
securities, and AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced (debt securities portion)
Investments will engage in an orderly  disposition of the downgraded  securities
or other  securities to the extent necessary to ensure the Series' holdings that
are considered by the Series to be below investment grade will not exceed 10% of
its net assets. AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced (debt securities portion)
Investments  may  hold  up to 5% of  its  net  assets  in  securities  that  are
downgraded  after  purchase to a rating  below that  permissible  by the Series'
investment  policies.  Each other Series (except AMT International  Investments)
will engage in an orderly  disposition  of  downgraded  securities to the extent
necessary  to  ensure  that the  Series'  holdings  of  securities  rated  below
investment grade and Comparable Unrated Securities will not exceed 5% of its net
assets (15% in the case of AMT Partners  Investments  and 10% in the case of AMT
Mid-Cap  Growth  Investments).  NB Management  will make a  determination  as to
whether  AMT  International   Investments   should  dispose  of  the  downgraded
securities.

         NB  Management  will  invest  in  lower-rated  securities  only when it
concludes  that the  anticipated  return on such an  investment to AMT Partners,
Mid-Cap Growth or International  Investments warrants exposure to the additional
level of risk.

Ratings of Fixed Income Securities 

         As  discussed  above,  the  Series  may  purchase  securities  rated by
Standard & Poor's ("S&P"),  Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"),  or any
other nationally  recognized  statistical  rating  organization  ("NRSRO").  The
ratings of an NRSRO  represent  its opinion as to the quality of  securities  it
undertakes to rate. Ratings are not absolute standards of quality; consequently,
securities  with  the same  maturity,  duration,  coupon,  and  rating  may have
different yields.  Although the Series may rely on the ratings of any NRSRO, the
Series mainly refer to ratings assigned by S&P and Moody's,  which are described
in Appendix A. Each Series may also invest in unrated securities that are deemed
comparable  in quality by NB  Management  to the rated  securities  in which the
Series may permissibly invest.

         High-quality   debt  securities.   High-quality   debt  securities  are
securities  that have received a rating from at least one NRSRO,  such as S&P or
Moody's,  in one of the two highest rating  categories (the highest  category in
the case of  commercial  paper)  or,  if not  rated by any  NRSRO,  such as U.S.
Government and Agency Securities, have been determined by NB Management to be of
comparable quality. If two or more NRSROs have rated a security, at least two of
them must rate it as high quality if the security is to be eligible for purchase
by AMT Liquid Asset Investments.

         Investment Grade Debt Securities.  Investment grade debt securities are
securities  that have  received  a rating  from at least one NRSRO in one of the
four  highest  rating  categories  or,  if not  rated by any  NRSRO,  have  been
determined  by  NB  Management  to  be  of  comparable  quality.  Moody's  deems
securities  rated in its  fourth  highest  category  (Baa)  to have  speculative
characteristics;  a change in economic factors could lead to a weakened capacity
of the issuer to repay.

         Lower-Rated  Debt  Securities.  Lower-rated  debt  securities  or "junk
bonds" are those rated below the fourth highest category by all NRSROs that have
rated  them  (including  those  securities  rated as low as D by S&P) or unrated
securities of comparable quality. Securities rated below investment grade may be
considered  speculative.  Securities  rated  B are  judged  to be  predominantly
speculative  with respect to their capacity to pay interest and repay  principal
in  accordance  with the terms of the  obligations.  Although  these  securities
generally offer higher yields than investment grade debt securities with similar
maturities,  lower-quality  securities  involve  greater  risks,  including  the
possibility  of default or  bankruptcy  by the  issuer,  or the  securities  may
already be in default.  See the additional risks described above for lower-rated
securities.

         Subsequent to its purchase by a Series, an issue of debt securities may
cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced,  so that the securities would no
longer be  eligible  for  purchase  by that  Series.  The  policy on  downgraded
securities  with respect to all Series  except AMT Liquid Asset  Investments  is
discussed  above under  "Lower Rated Debt  Securities."  With respect to the AMT
Liquid Asset  Investments,  NB  Management  will consider the need to dispose of
such securities in accordance with the  requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940
Act.

Duration and Maturity

         Duration is a measure of the  sensitivity of debt securities to changes
in market  interest  rates,  based on the entire cash flow  associated  with the
securities,   including   payments  occurring  before  the  final  repayment  of
principal.  For AMT Limited Maturity Bond and Balanced (debt securities portion)
Investments,  NB Management  utilizes duration as a tool in portfolio  selection
instead of the more  traditional  measure known as "term to maturity."  "Term to
maturity"  measures  only the time  until a debt  security  provides  its  final
payment,  taking no account of the pattern of the  security's  payments prior to
maturity.  Duration incorporates a bond's yield, coupon interest payments, final
maturity and call features into one measure.  Duration therefore provides a more
accurate  measurement  of a bond's  likely  price  change in response to a given
change in market interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the bond's
price movement will be as interest rates change.  For any fixed income  security
with interest payments occurring prior to the payment of principal,  duration is
always less than maturity.

         Futures,  options  and  options on  futures  have  durations  which are
generally  related to the duration of the securities  underlying  them.  Holding
long  futures or call  option  positions  will  lengthen a Series'  duration  by
approximately  the same  amount as would  holding  an  equivalent  amount of the
underlying securities. Short futures or put options have durations roughly equal
to the negative of the duration of the securities that underlie these positions,
and have the effect of reducing  portfolio  duration by  approximately  the same
amount as would selling an equivalent amount of the underlying securities.

         There are some situations where even the standard duration  calculation
does not properly reflect the interest rate exposure of a security. For example,
floating and variable rate securities often have final maturities of ten or more
years; however, their interest rate exposure corresponds to the frequency of the
coupon reset.  Another  example where the interest rate exposure is not properly
captured by duration is the case of mortgage-backed securities. The stated final
maturity of such  securities  is  generally  30 years,  but current and expected
prepayment  rates are critical in  determining  the  securities'  interest  rate
exposure. In these and other similar situations, NB Management, where permitted,
will use more sophisticated  analytical techniques that incorporate the economic
life of a security into the determination of its interest rate exposure.

         AMT Liquid Asset  Investments is required to maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio  maturity of no more than 90 days and invest in a portfolio of
debt  instruments  with  remaining  maturities of 397 days or less.  AMT Limited
Maturity   Bond   and   Balanced   (debt   securities   portion)    Investments'
dollar-weighted average duration will not exceed four years, although the Series
may invest in individual securities of any duration; the Series' dollar-weighted
average maturity may range up to five years.

Risks of Equity Securities

         The Equity Series may invest in securities  that include common stocks,
preferred  stocks,  convertible  securities  and  warrants.  Common  stocks  and
preferred  stocks  represent  shares of  ownership in a  corporation.  Preferred
stocks  usually have  specific  dividends and rank after bonds and before common
stock in claims on assets of the corporation  should it be dissolved.  Increases
and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a corporation's  stock price.
Convertible  securities are debt or preferred equity securities convertible into
common stock. Usually, convertible securities pay dividends or interest at rates
higher  than  common  stock,  but  lower  than  other  securities.   Convertible
securities   usually   participate  to  some  extent  in  the   appreciation  or
depreciation of the underlying stock into which they are  convertible.  Warrants
are  options  to buy a stated  number of shares of common  stock at a  specified
price anytime during the life of the warrants.

         To the  extent  the  Series  invest  in such  securities,  the value of
securities  held by the Series will be affected by changes in the stock markets,
which may be the result of domestic or international political or economic news,
changes in interest rates or changing  investor  sentiment.  At times, the stock
markets can be volatile  and stock prices can change  substantially.  The equity
securities of smaller  companies are more  sensitive to these changes than those
of  larger  companies.  This  market  risk  will  affect  the  Series'  and  the
corresponding  Portfolio's NAVs per share,  which will fluctuate as the value of
the securities held by the Series change.  Not all stock prices change uniformly
or at the same time and not all stock markets move in the same  direction at the
same time.  Other  factors  affect a  particular  stock's  prices,  such as poor
earnings reports by an issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation against
an issuer, or changes in governmental regulations affecting an industry. Adverse
news  affecting  one  company  can  sometimes  depress  the stock  prices of all
companies in the same industry. Not all factors can be predicted.

      Other Investment Companies.  (AMT International and Guardian Investments).
AMT  International  Investments  may  invest in the  shares of other  investment
companies. Such investment may be the most practical or only manner in which the
Series  can  participate  in certain  foreign  markets  because of the  expenses
involved or because other  vehicles for investing in those  countries may not be
available  at the time the Series is ready to make an  investment.  AMT Guardian
Investments  at  times  may  invest  in  instruments  structured  as  investment
companies to gain exposure to the performance of a recognized  securities index,
such as the S&P "500" Index.

         As a shareholder in an investment  company, a Series would bear its pro
rata share of that investment company's expenses.  Investment in other funds may
involve the payment of  substantial  premiums  above the value of such  issuer's
portfolio  securities.  The Series do not intend to invest in such funds unless,
in the judgment of NB  Management,  the  potential  benefits of such  investment
justify the payment of any applicable premium or sales charge.

         Policies and Limitations. Each Series' investment in such securities is
limited to (i) 3% of the total voting stock of any one investment company,  (ii)
5% of the Series'  total assets with respect to any one  investment  company and
(iii) 10% of the Series' total assets in the aggregate.

AMT Socially Responsive Investments - Description of Social Policy

         Background Information on Socially Responsive Investing

         In an era when many people are concerned about the relationship between
business and society,  socially responsive  investing ("SRI") is a mechanism for
assuring  that  investors'  social  values  are  reflected  in their  investment
decisions. As such, SRI is a direct descendent of the successful effort begun in
the early 1970's to encourage companies to divest their South African operations
and subscribe to the Sullivan Principles. Today, a growing number of individuals
and institutions are applying similar strategies to a broad range of problems.

         Although there are many strategies available to the socially responsive
investor,  including proxy activism,  below-market loans to community  projects,
and venture  capital,  the SRI strategies used by the Series generally fall into
two categories:

         Avoidance  Investing.  Most socially responsive investors seek to avoid
holding  securities of companies whose products or policies are seen as being at
odds with the social good. The most common exclusions historically have involved
tobacco companies and weapons manufacturers.

         Leadership  Investing.  A growing number of investors actively look for
companies with  progressive  programs that are exemplary or companies which make
it their business to try to solve some of the problems of today's society.

         The  marriage  of  social  and  financial  objectives  would  not  have
surprised Adam Smith,  who was,  first and foremost,  a moral  philosopher.  The
Wealth of  Nations is firmly  rooted in the  Enlightenment  conviction  that the
purpose of capital is the social good and the related  belief that idle  capital
is both wasteful and unethical. But, what very likely would have surprised Smith
is the sheer  complexity of the social issues we face today and the diversity of
our  attitudes  toward the social  good.  War and peace,  race and  gender,  the
distribution of wealth,  and the conservation of natural resources -- the social
agenda is long and  compelling.  It is also  something  about  which  reasonable
people differ. What should society's  priorities be? What can and should be done
about  them?  And  what is the  role  of  business  in  addressing  them?  Since
corporations  are on the front lines of so many key issues in today's  world,  a
growing  number of investors feel that a  corporation's  role cannot be ignored.
This is true of some of the  most  important  issues  of the day  such as  equal
opportunity and the environment.

         The Socially Responsive Database

         Neuberger   Berman,   LLC   ("Neuberger   Berman"),   the   Portfolio's
sub-adviser,  maintains a database of information about the social impact of the
companies it follows.  NB Management uses the database to evaluate social issues
after it deems a stock acceptable from a financial standpoint for acquisition by
the Portfolio.  The aim of the database is to be as  comprehensive  as possible,
given that much of the information  concerning  corporate  responsibility  comes
from subjective  sources.  Information for the database is gathered by Neuberger
Berman in many  categories  and then  analyzed by NB Management in the following
six categories of corporate responsibility:

         Workplace  Diversity and Employment.  NB Management looks for companies
that show leadership in areas such as employee  training and promotion  policies
and benefits, such as flextime,  generous profit sharing, and parental leave. NB
Management  looks for active  programs to promote women and minorities and takes
into account their representation among the officers of an issuer and members of
its board of directors.  As a basis for exclusion, NB Management looks for Equal
Employment  Opportunity Act infractions and  Occupational  Safety and Health Act
violations; examines each case in terms of severity, frequency, and time elapsed
since  the  incident;  and  considers  actions  taken by the  company  since the
violation.  NB Management also monitors companies' progress and attitudes toward
these issues.

         Environment.  A company's impact on the environment  depends largely on
the industry. Therefore, NB Management examines a company's environmental record
vis-a-vis  those of its peers in the  industry.  All  companies  operating in an
industry  with  inherently  high  environmental  risks  are  likely  to have had
problems in such areas as toxic chemical emissions, federal and state fines, and
Superfund sites. For these companies,  NB Management  examines their problems in
terms of severity,  frequency, and elapsed time. NB Management then balances the
record against whatever leadership the company may have demonstrated in terms of
environmental  policies,  procedures,  and practices.  NB Management  defines an
environmental  leadership company as one that puts into place strong affirmative
programs to minimize  emissions,  promote  safety,  reduce  waste at the source,
insure energy conservation, protect natural resources, and incorporate recycling
into its processes and products.  NB  Management  looks for the  commitment  and
active  involvement  of senior  management  in all these  areas.  Several  major
manufacturers which still produce substantial amounts of pollution are among the
leaders  in  developing  outstanding  waste  source  reduction  and  remediation
programs.

         Product. NB Management considers company announcements,  press reports,
and public  interest  publications  relating  to the  health,  safety,  quality,
labeling,  advertising,  and promotion of both consumer and industrial products.
NB Management  takes note of companies  with a strong  commitment to quality and
with marketing practices which are ethical and consumer-friendly.  NB Management
pays  particular  attention to  companies  whose  products and services  promote
progressive solutions to social problems.

         Public Health. NB Management measures the participation of companies in
such industries and markets as alcohol,  tobacco, gambling and nuclear power. NB
Management  also  considers  the impact of  products  and  marketing  activities
related  to those  products  on  nutritional  and other  health  concerns,  both
domestically and in foreign markets.

         Weapons.  NB  Management  keeps track of domestic  military  sales and,
whenever  possible,  foreign  military  sales and  categorizes  them as  nuclear
weapons related,  other weapons related, and non-weapon military supplies,  such
as  micro-chip  manufacturers  and  companies  that make  uniforms  for military
personnel.

         Corporate  Citizenship.  NB  Management  gathers  information  about  a
company's  participation  in community  affairs,  its  policies  with respect to
charitable  contributions,  and  its  support  of  education  and the  arts.  NB
Management  looks for  companies  with a focus,  dealing with issues not just by
making financial contributions, but also by asking the questions: What can we do
to help? What do we have to offer? Volunteerism, high-school mentoring programs,
scholarships and grants, and in-kind donations to specific groups are just a few
ways that companies have responded to these questions.

Implementation of Social Policy

         Companies   deemed   acceptable  by  NB  Management  from  a  financial
standpoint are analyzed using  Neuberger  Berman's  database.  The companies are
then evaluated by the portfolio manager to determine if the companies' policies,
practices,  products,  and services  withstand  scrutiny in the following  major
areas of concern:  the  environment  and  workplace  diversity  and  employment.
Companies are then further  evaluated to determine  their track record in issues
and areas of concern such as public  health,  weapons,  product,  and  corporate
citizenship.

         The issues and areas of concern  that are tracked  lend  themselves  to
objective analysis in varying degrees. Few, however, can be resolved entirely on
the basis of scientifically  demonstrable facts.  Moreover, a substantial amount
of  important  information  comes  from  sources  that  do  not  purport  to  be
disinterested.  Thus,  the  quality and  usefulness  of the  information  in the
database depend on Neuberger  Berman's  ability to tap a wide variety of sources
and on the  experience and judgment of the people at NB Management who interpret
the information.

         In applying the  information in the database to stock selection for the
Portfolio,  NB Management  considers several factors. NB Management examines the
severity and frequency of various infractions, as well as the time elapsed since
their  occurrence.  NB  Management  also takes into account any remedial  action
which has been taken by the company relating to these infractions. NB Management
notes  any  quality  innovations  made by the  company  in its  effort to create
positive change and looks at the company's overall approach to social issues.

                           CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS

         A Portfolio's investment in its corresponding Series may be affected by
the actions of other large  investors in the Series,  if any. For example,  if a
large investor in a Series (other than a Portfolio) redeemed its interest in the
Series,  the Series' remaining  investors  (including the Portfolio) might, as a
result,  experience higher pro rata operating expenses,  thereby producing lower
returns.

         Although each Series seeks to reduce risk by investing in a diversified
portfolio of securities, diversification does not eliminate all risk. There can,
of  course,  be no  assurance  that  any  Series  will  achieve  its  investment
objective.

                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

         A  Portfolio's  performance  may be quoted in  advertising  in terms of
yield or total return if accompanied  by  performance of an insurance  company's
separate account.  Each Portfolio's  performance figures are based on historical
earnings and are not intended to indicate  future  performance.  The share price
(except in the case of the Liquid  Asset  Portfolio),  yield and total return of
each Portfolio will vary, and an investment in a Portfolio,  when redeemed,  may
be worth more or less than the original purchase price.

Yield Calculations

         The Liquid  Asset  Portfolio  may  advertise  its  "current  yield" and
"effective  yield." The  Portfolio's  current yield is based on the return for a
recent seven-day period and is computed by determining the net change (excluding
capital changes) in the value of a hypothetical  account having a balance of one
share  at the  beginning  of  the  period,  subtracting  a  hypothetical  charge
reflecting deductions from shareholder accounts,  and dividing the difference by
the value of the account at the  beginning of the base  period.  The result is a
"base period  return," which is then annualized -- that is, the amount of income
generated  during the seven-day period is assumed to be generated each week over
a 52-week period -- and shown as an annual percentage of the investment.

         The effective yield of the Portfolio is calculated  similarly,  but the
base period  return is assumed to be  reinvested.  The assumed  reinvestment  is
calculated  by adding 1 to the base  period  return,  raising the sum to a power
equal to 365 divided by seven, and subtracting one from the result, according to
the following formula:

              Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1)365/7] - 1

         For the seven  calendar days ended December 31, 1998, the current yield
of the Liquid Asset  Portfolio  was 4.29%.  For the same period,  the  effective
yield was 4.38%.

         Limited  Maturity  Bond  Portfolio.  The  Portfolio  may  advertise its
"yield"  based on a 30-day (or  one-month)  period.  This yield is  computed  by
dividing the net  investment  income per share  earned  during the period by the
maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.  The result then
is annualized and shown as an annual percentage of the investment.

         The  annualized  yield for the Limited  Maturity Bond Portfolio for the
30-day period ended December 31, 1998 was 5.45%.

Total Return Computations. (All Portfolios except Liquid Asset Portfolio).

         A Portfolio may advertise certain total return information.  An average
annual  compounded  rate of return ("T") may be computed by using the redeemable
value  at the  end of a  specified  period  ("ERV")  of a  hypothetical  initial
investment of $1,000 ("P") over a period of time ("n") according to the formula:

                                P (1 + T)n = ERV

         Average  annual total return  smoothes out  year-to-year  variations in
performance and, in that respect,  differs from actual year-to-year  results. Of
course,  past  performance  cannot  be a  guarantee  of  future  results.  These
calculations assume that all dividends and distributions are reinvested.

         The average  annual  total  returns for the Growth  Portfolio  (and the
predecessor of the Growth Portfolio for the period prior to May 1, 1995) for the
one-,  five-,  and ten-year  periods  ended  December 31,  1998,  were  +15.53%,
+15.28%, and +13.89%, respectively.

         The  average  annual  total  returns  for  the  Limited  Maturity  Bond
Portfolio (and the  predecessor  of the Limited  Maturity Bond Portfolio for the
period prior to May 1, 1995) for the one-,  five-,  and ten-year  periods  ended
December 31, 1998, were +4.39%, +5.18%, and +6.79%, respectively.

         The average  annual total returns for the Balanced  Portfolio  (and the
predecessor  of the Balanced  Portfolio for the period prior to May 1, 1995) for
the one-year and five-year  periods ended  December 31, 1998, and for the period
from February 28, 1989 (commencement of operations),  through December 31, 1998,
were +12.18%, +11.37%, and +11.30%, respectively.

         The average  annual total return for the  Partners  Portfolio  (and the
predecessor  of the Partners  Portfolio for the period prior to May 1, 1995) for
the one year period  ended  December  31, 1998 and for the period from March 22,
1994  (commencement  of  operations)  through  December  31, 1998 was +4.21% and
+19.71% respectively.

         The average  annual total return for the Mid-Cap  Growth  Portfolio for
the one year  period  ended  December  31, 1998 and the period  since  inception
(November  3,  1997)  through   December  31,  1998  was  +39.28%  and  +52.18%,
respectively.

         The average annual total return for the Guardian  Portfolio for the one
year period ended December 31, 1998 and the period since inception  (November 3,
1997) through December 31, 1998 was +31.67% and +32.20%, respectively.

         NB  Management  may waive a portion of its fee or reimburse  certain of
the Portfolios and  predecessors  of the Portfolios for certain  expenses during
the periods  shown,  which has the effect of  increasing  total  return.  Actual
reimbursements  and waivers are described in the  Prospectus  and in "Investment
Management and Administrative Services" below.

         Average  annual total  returns  quoted for the  Portfolios  include the
effect   of   deducting   a   Portfolio's   expenses,   but  may   not   include
insurance-related  charges and other  expenses  attributable  to any  particular
insurance  product.  Since you can only purchase shares of a Portfolio through a
variable annuity or variable life insurance contract (except with respect to the
Balanced  Portfolio,  which may also be purchased by Qualified Plans) you should
carefully  review the  prospectus of the  insurance  product you have chosen for
information  on relevant  charges and  expenses.  Excluding  these  charges from
quotations  of a  Portfolio's  performance  has the  effect  of  increasing  the
performance  quoted.  You should bear in mind the effect of these  charges  when
comparing a Portfolio's performance to that of other mutual funds.

Comparative Information

         From time to time a Portfolio's performance may be compared with:

                  (1) data  (that  may be  expressed  as  rankings  or  ratings)
         published   by   independent   services  or   publications   (including
         newspapers,  newsletters,  and financial  periodicals) that monitor the
         performance of mutual funds, such as Lipper Analytical  Services,  Inc.
         ("Lipper"),   C.D.A.   Investment   Technologies,   Inc.,  Wiesenberger
         Investment   Companies   Service,   Investment   Company   Data   Inc.,
         IBC/Financial Data Inc.'s Money Market Fund Report,  Morningstar,  Inc.
         ("Morningstar"), Micropal Incorporated, VARDS and quarterly mutual fund
         rankings by Money, Fortune,  Forbes,  Business Week, Personal Investor,
         and U.S. News & World Report  magazines,  The Wall Street Journal,  New
         York Times, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, and Barron's Newspaper, or

                  (2)  recognized  bond,  stock and other  indices,  such as the
         Shearson  Lehman Bond Index,  The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
         Price Index ("S&P 500 Index"),  S&P Small Cap 600 ("S&P 600"),  S&P Mid
         Cap 400 ("S&P 400"),  Russell 2000 Stock Index,  Russell Mid Cap Growth
         Index, Dow Jones Industrial  Average ("DJIA"),  Wilshire 1750,  NASDAQ,
         Montgomery  Securities  Growth  Stock  Index,  Value Line  Index,  U.S.
         Department of Labor  Consumer  Price Index  ("Consumer  Price  Index"),
         College  Board Survey of Colleges  Annual  Increases of College  costs,
         Kanon Bloch's Family  Performance  Index,  the Barra Growth Index,  the
         Barra Value Index,  the EAFE(R)  Index,  the Financial  Times World XUS
         Index, and various other domestic,  international,  and global indices.
         The S&P 500 Index is a broad index of common  stock  prices,  while the
         DJIA represents a narrower segment of industrial companies. The S&P 600
         includes  stocks  that range in market  value from $35  million to $3.2
         billion,  with an  average  of  $514  million.  The  S&P  400  measures
         mid-sized  companies  with an  average  market  capitalization  of $2.1
         billion. The EAFE(R) Index is an unmanaged index of common stock prices
         of more than 1,000 companies from Europe,  Australia,  and the Far East
         translated into U.S. dollars. The Financial Times World XUS Index is an
         index of 24  international  markets,  excluding the U.S.  market.  Each
         assumes  reinvestment of distributions and is calculated without regard
         to tax  consequences  or the costs of  investing.  Each  Portfolio  may
         invest in different  types of securities from those included in some of
         the above indices.

         The Limited Maturity Bond Portfolio's  performance may also be compared
with  the  Merrill  Lynch  1-3  year  Treasury  Index  and the  Lehman  Brothers
Intermediate  Government/Corporate  Bond Index,  as well as the  performance  of
Treasury Securities, corporate bonds, and the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt
Funds category.

         The Socially Responsive Portfolio's performance may also be compared to
various socially responsive  indices.  These include The Domini Social Index and
the indices developed by the quantitative  department of Prudential  Securities,
such as that  department's  Large and  Mid-Cap  portfolio  indices  for  various
breakdowns ("Sin" Stock Free, Cigarette-Stock Free, S&P Composite, etc.).

         Evaluations of a Portfolio's  performance,  its yield/total  return and
comparisons  may be used  in  advertisements  and in  information  furnished  to
present  and  prospective  shareholders  (collectively,  "Advertisements").  The
Portfolios  may also be  compared to  individual  asset  classes  such as common
stocks,  small-cap stocks, or Treasury bonds,  based on information  supplied by
Ibbotson and Sinquefield.

         Each  Series  may  invest  some of its  assets  in  different  types of
securities  than  those  included  in the index  used as a  comparison  with the
Series' historical performance. A Series may also compare certain indices, which
represent  different  segments  of the  securities  markets,  for the purpose of
comparing  the  historical  returns and  volatility of those  particular  market
segments.   Measures  of  volatility   show  the  range  of   historical   price
fluctuations. Standard deviation may be used as a measure of volatility.
There are other measures of volatility, which may yield different results.

         In addition,  the Income  Series  performance  may be compared at times
with that of various bank instruments  (including bank money market accounts and
CDs of varying  maturities)  as reported in  publications  such as The Bank Rate
Monitor.  Any such  comparisons may be useful to investors who wish to compare a
Portfolio's past performance with that of certain of its competitors. Of course,
past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Unlike an investment in a
Portfolio, bank CDs pay a fixed rate of interest for a stated period of time and
are insured up to $100,000.

         Other Performance  Information.  From time to time, information about a
Series'  portfolio  allocation  and  holdings  as of a  particular  date  may be
included in Advertisements for the corresponding Portfolio. This information may
include the Series' portfolio diversification by asset type.

*        Indicates  an  "interested  person" of each Trust within the meaning of
         the 1940 Act. Messrs. Egener, Weiner and Zicklin are interested persons
         by  virtue  of the fact  that they are  officers  and  directors  of NB
         Management and principals of Neuberger Berman.


         The Trust's Trust Instrument and Managers Trust's  Declaration of Trust
provide that each Trust will indemnify the Trustees and their  officers  against
liabilities  and expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection with litigation in
which they may be involved  because of their  offices with the Trust or Advisers
Trust,  respectively,  unless it is adjudicated  that they engaged in bad faith,
willful  misfeasance,  gross  negligence,  or reckless  disregard  of the duties
involved in their offices. In the case of settlement,  such indemnification will
not be  provided  unless  it has been  determined  -- by a court  or other  body
approving the settlement or other disposition, or by a majority of disinterested
Trustees,  based  upon a review  of  readily  available  facts,  or in a written
opinion  of  independent  counsel -- that such  officers  or  Trustees  have not
engaged in  willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith,  gross  negligence,  or  reckless
disregard of their duties.

         *Separate  accounts  of the  Life  Company  owned  25% or  more  of the
         outstanding  shares  of  beneficial  interest  of  the  Portfolio,  and
         therefore may be presumed to "control" the  Portfolio,  as that term is
         defined in the 1940 Act.

           INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

         All Portfolios and their corresponding Series

         Neuberger Berman is an investment  management firm with headquarters in
New York.  The firm's focus is on U.S.  fixed  income,  equity and balanced fund
management. Total assets under management by Neuberger Berman and its affiliates
were  approximately  $55.4  billion as of December 31, 1998.  Founded in 1939 to
manage  portfolios for high net worth  individuals,  the firm entered the mutual
fund  management  business in 1950,  and began  offering  active  management for
pension funds and  institutions in the mid-1970s.  Most money managers that come
to the Neuberger Berman  organization have at least fifteen years of experience.
Neuberger Berman and NB Management employ experienced professionals that work in
a competitive environment.

         Because all of the  Portfolios'  net investable  assets are invested in
their corresponding Series, the Portfolios do not need an investment manager. NB
Management  serves as each Series'  investment  manager pursuant to a Management
Agreement ("Management Agreement") dated as of May 1, 1995, that was approved by
the holders of the  interests  in all the Series on April 13, 1994  (except with
respect to AMT International,  Guardian, Mid-Cap Growth, and Socially Responsive
Investments).  The Trustees of Managers Trust approved the Management  Agreement
between:  AMT International  Investments and NB Management on November 30, 1995;
AMT Mid-Cap Growth Investments and AMT Guardian Investments and NB Management on
August 20, 1997; and AMT Socially  Responsive  Investments  and NB Management on
May 28, 1998.

         The Management  Agreement provides in substance that NB Management will
make and implement  investment  decisions for the Series in its  discretion  and
will  continuously  develop an investment  program for each Series' assets.  The
Management Agreement permits NB Management to effect securities  transactions on
behalf  of  each  Series  through  associated  persons  of  NB  Management.  The
Management  Agreement  also  specifically  permits NB Management to  compensate,
through higher commissions,  brokers and dealers who provide investment research
and  analysis to the Series,  but NB  Management  has no current  plans to pay a
material amount of such compensation.

         NB  Management  provides to each Series,  without  cost,  office space,
equipment,   and  facilities  and  personnel  necessary  to  perform  executive,
administrative, and clerical functions and pays all salaries, expenses, and fees
of the officers,  trustees,  and  employees of Managers  Trust who are officers,
directors,  or employees of NB Management.  Three officers of NB Management (who
also are principals of Neuberger Berman and directors of NB Management) serve as
trustees and officers of the Trusts.  See "Trustees and Officers." NB Management
provides  similar  facilities  and  services  to each  Portfolio  pursuant to an
administration  agreement dated May 1, 1995 ("Administration  Agreement").  Each
Portfolio was  authorized to become subject to the  Administration  Agreement by
vote of the Trustees on May 26, 1994, except the International Portfolio,  which
became subject to it on May 1, 1995, the Mid-Cap Growth and Guardian Portfolios,
which  became  subject to it on August 20,  1997,  and the  Socially  Responsive
Portfolio, which became subject to it on May 28, 1998.

Management and Administration Fees

         For investment  management services,  AMT Balanced,  Growth,  Guardian,
Mid-Cap  Growth,  Partners  and  Socially  Responsive  Investments  each pays NB
Management  a fee at the annual  rate of 0.55% of the first $250  million of the
Series' average daily net assets, 0.525% of the next $250 million,  0.50% of the
next  $250  million,  0.475% of the next  $250  million,  0.45% of the next $500
million,  and 0.425% of average daily net assets in excess of $1.5 billion.  AMT
International  Investments  pays NB Management a fee for  investment  management
services  at the annual  rate of 0.85% of the first $250  million of the Series'
average  daily net assets,  0.825% of the next $250  million,  0.80% of the next
$250 million,  0.775% of the next $250  million,  0.75% of the next $500 million
and 0.725% of average  daily net assets in excess of $1.5  billion.  AMT Limited
Maturity  Bond and Liquid Asset  Investments  each pays NB  Management a fee for
investment  management  services  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.

         For  administrative  services,  each Portfolio (except Limited Maturity
Bond and Liquid Asset Portfolios) pays NB Management a fee at the annual rate of
0.30% of that Portfolio's average daily net assets. For administrative services,
Limited  Maturity Bond and Liquid Asset Portfolios each pays NB Management a fee
at the annual rate of 0.40% of average daily net assets.

         During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, each 
Portfolio accrued management and  administration  fees as follows:

</TABLE>

         The Management and Administration Agreements each continue until May 1,
2000. The Management  Agreement is renewable from year to year with respect to a
Series, so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (1) by the vote
of a majority of Managers Trust's  Trustees who are not "interested  persons" of
NB Management or Managers Trust ("Independent Series Trustees"),  cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such  approval,  and (2) by the
vote of a majority of Managers  Trust's  Trustees or by a 1940 Act majority vote
of the  outstanding  shares in that  Series.  The  Administration  Agreement  is
renewable  from  year  to  year  with  respect  to a  Portfolio,  so long as its
continuance  is approved at least  annually (1) by the vote of a majority of the
trustees  of the  Trust  (the  "Portfolio  Trustees")  who are  not  "interested
persons" of NB Management or the Trust ("Independent Portfolio Trustees"),  cast
in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on such  approval,  and
(2) by the  vote  of a  majority  of the  Portfolio  Trustees  or by a 1940  Act
majority  vote of the  outstanding  shares  in that  Portfolio.  The  Management
Agreement is  terminable  with respect to a Series  without  penalty on 60 days'
prior  written  notice  either  by  Managers  Trust  or  by NB  Management.  The
Administration  Agreement  is  terminable  with  respect to a Portfolio  without
penalty by NB  Management  upon at least 120 days' prior  written  notice to the
Portfolio,  and by the  Portfolio  if  authorized  by  the  Portfolio  Trustees,
including a majority of the Independent Portfolio Trustees, on at least 30 days'
prior written notice to NB Management.  Each Agreement terminates  automatically
if it is assigned.

Expense Limitations

All Portfolios and their Corresponding Series (except International and Socially
Responsive  Portfolios  and  their  corresponding  Series).  NB  Management  has
voluntarily  undertaken to limit the  Portfolios'  expenses by reimbursing  each
Portfolio  for its  total  operating  expenses  and its pro  rata  share  of its
corresponding Series' total operating expenses, excluding the compensation of NB
Management (with respect to all Portfolios but the Guardian,  Mid-Cap Growth and
Liquid Asset Portfolios),  taxes, interest,  extraordinary  expenses,  brokerage
commissions and transaction  costs, that exceed, in the aggregate,  1% per annum
of the Portfolio's average daily net asset value. This undertaking is subject to
termination  upon at least 60 days'  prior  written  notice  to the  appropriate
Portfolio.  The Guardian and Mid-Cap Growth  Portfolios have each in turn agreed
to repay through December 31, 1999, for the excess,  operating expenses borne by
NB Management,  so long as the Portfolio's annual operating expenses during that
period do not exceed the expense limitation.

International and Socially Responsive Portfolios and their Corresponding Series.
NB  Management  has  voluntarily  undertaken  until  May 1,  2000 to  limit  the
Portfolios'  expenses by reimbursing each Portfolio for total operating expenses
and its pro rata share of its  corresponding  Series' total operating  expenses,
including  compensation  to  NB  Management,   but  excluding  taxes,  interest,
extraordinary expenses and brokerage commissions, that exceed, in the aggregate,
1.70% per annum of the International  Portfolio's  average daily net asset value
and 1.50% per annum of the Socially  Responsive  Portfolio's  average  daily net
asset value.  Each  Portfolio has in turn agreed to repay  through  December 31,
2001 for the excess  operating  expenses borne by NB Management,  so long as the
Portfolio's  annual  operating  expenses  during  that  period do not exceed the
expense limitation.

         The effect of any  expense  limitation  by NB  Management  is to reduce
operating  expenses  of a  Portfolio  and its  corresponding  Series and thereby
increase  total return.  There can no assurance  that these  expense  limitation
agreements will be continued or extended.

         For the year ended  December 31, 1998,  NB  Management  reimbursed  the
Liquid Asset Portfolio  $20,005,  the Mid-Cap Growth  Portfolio  $58,074 and the
Guardian Portfolio $50,071.  For the years ended December 31, 1997 NB Management
reimbursed the Liquid Asset  Portfolio  $15,867,  the Mid-Cap  Growth  Portfolio
$13,432,  and the Guardian Portfolio  $13,586.  For the years ended December 31,
1996, NB Management reimbursed the Liquid Asset Portfolio $30,558.

Sub-Adviser

         NB Management  retains Neuberger Berman, 605 Third Avenue, New York, NY
10158, as a sub-adviser with respect to each Series.  Except with respect to the
International,  Mid-Cap Growth, Guardian and Socially Responsive Portfolios, the
Sub-Advisory   Agreement  was  authorized  by  the   Portfolios'   predecessors'
shareholders on August 25, 1994 and was approved by the holders of the interests
in each Series on April 13, 1994. The  Sub-Advisory  Agreement was authorized by
the Trustees of Managers Trust with respect to AMT International  Investments on
November 30, 1995,  with respect to AMT Mid-Cap Growth and Guardian  Investments
on August 20, 1997, and with respect to AMT Socially  Responsive  Investments on
May 28, 1998.

         The Sub-Advisory  Agreement provides in substance that Neuberger Berman
will   furnish  to  NB   Management,   upon   reasonable   request,   investment
recommendations and research  information of the same type that Neuberger Berman
from time to time provides to its  principals  and employees for use in managing
client  accounts,  as NB  Management  reasonably  requests.  In this manner,  NB
Management  expects to have  available to it, in addition to research from other
professional  sources, the capability of the research staff of Neuberger Berman.
This  research  staff  consists of numerous  investment  analysts,  each of whom
specializes  in  studying  one or more  industries,  under  the  supervision  of
research  partners who are also available for  consultation  with NB Management.
The  Sub-Advisory  Agreement  provides  that the services  rendered by Neuberger
Berman will be paid for by NB Management on the basis of the direct and indirect
costs to Neuberger  Berman in connection with those services.  Neuberger  Berman
also serves as a  sub-adviser  for all of the other mutual  funds  advised by NB
Management.

         The Sub-Advisory  Agreement continues with respect to each series until
May 1, 2000, and is renewable from year to year thereafter,  subject to approval
of  its  continuance  in  the  same  manner  as the  Management  Agreement.  The
Sub-Advisory Agreement is subject to termination,  without penalty, with respect
to each Series by the Series'  Trustees,  or by a 1940 Act majority  vote of the
outstanding  shares of that Series, by NB Management,  or by Neuberger Berman on
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior written notice to the  appropriate
Series. The Sub-Advisory Agreement also terminates automatically with respect to
each Series if it is assigned or if the  Management  Agreement  terminates  with
respect to the Series.

         Most money managers that come to the Neuberger Berman organization have
at least fifteen years  experience.  Neuberger  Berman and NB Management  employ
experienced professionals that work in a competitive environment.

         The Series are subject to certain  limitations  imposed on all advisory
clients of Neuberger  Berman  (including the Series,  Other NB Funds,  and other
accounts) and personnel of Neuberger  Berman and its affiliates.  These include,
for  example,  limits  that may be imposed in certain  industries  or by certain
companies,  and policies of Neuberger Berman that limit the aggregate purchases,
by all accounts under management, of outstanding shares of public companies.

         The investment  decisions  concerning  each Series and the other mutual
funds  referred  to above  (collectively,  "Other NB Funds")  have been and will
continue to be made  independently of one another.  In terms of their investment
objectives,  most of the Other NB Funds  differ from the Series.  Even where the
investment  objectives  are similar,  however,  the methods used by the Other NB
Funds and the Series to achieve  their  objectives  may differ.  The  investment
results  achieved by all of the funds managed by NB Management  have varied from
one another in the past and are likely to vary in the future.

         There may be  occasions  when a Series  and one or more of the Other NB
Funds or other  accounts  managed  by  Neuberger  Berman  are  contemporaneously
engaged in purchasing or selling the same  securities  from or to third parties.
When this occurs,  the transactions  are averaged as to price and allocated,  in
terms of amount, in accordance with a formula  considered to be equitable to the
funds involved.  Although in some cases this  arrangement may have a detrimental
effect on the price or volume of the  securities as to a Series,  in other cases
it is believed that a Series' ability to participate in volume  transactions may
produce better executions for it. In any case, it is the judgment of the Series'
Trustees that the  desirability of each Series having its advisory  arrangements
with  NB   Management   outweighs  any   disadvantages   that  may  result  from
contemporaneous transactions.

                            DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

         NB Management serves as the distributor  ("Distributor")  in connection
with the offering of each Portfolio's shares. In connection with the sale of its
shares,  each  Portfolio  has  authorized  the  Distributor  to  give  only  the
information,  and to make only the statements and representations,  contained in
the Prospectus and this SAI or that properly may be included in sales literature
and advertisements in accordance with the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, and applicable
rules  of  self-regulatory  organizations.   Sales  may  be  made  only  by  the
Prospectus,  which  may  be  delivered  personally,  through  the  mails,  or by
electronic  means. The Distributor is each Portfolio's  "principal  underwriter"
within the meaning of the 1940 Act and, as such,  acts as agent in arranging for
the  sale  of  each  Portfolio's   shares  without  sales  commission  or  other
compensation  and bears all advertising and promotion  expenses  incurred in the
sale of the Portfolios' shares.

         The Trust, on behalf of each Portfolio, and the Distributor are parties
to a Distribution Agreement dated May 1, 1995, that continues until May 1, 2000.
The Distribution  Agreement may be renewed  annually  thereafter if specifically
approved by (1) the vote of a majority of the  Portfolio  Trustees or a 1940 Act
majority  vote of the  Portfolio's  outstanding  shares  and  (2) the  vote of a
majority  of the  Independent  Portfolio  Trustees,  cast in person at a meeting
called for the purpose of voting on such approval.  The  Distribution  Agreement
may be  terminated  by either  party  and will  automatically  terminate  on its
assignment,  in the same manner as the Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory
Agreement.


                 ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION

Share Prices and Net Asset Value

         Each  Portfolio's  shares  are  bought  or sold at a price  that is the
Portfolio's  NAV per  share.  The  NAVs for each  Series  and its  corresponding
Portfolio are calculated by subtracting  total liabilities from total assets (in
the case of a Series,  the market value of the  securities the Series holds plus
cash and other assets;  in the case of a Portfolio,  its percentage  interest in
its corresponding Series, multiplied by the Series' NAV, plus any other assets).
Each  Portfolio's  per share NAV is calculated by dividing its NAV by the number
of Portfolio's  shares  outstanding  and rounding the result to the nearest full
cent. Each Portfolio and its corresponding Series calculate their NAVs as of the
close of regular trading on the NYSE,  usually 4 p.m.  Eastern time, on each day
the NYSE is open.

         The Liquid Asset  Portfolio tries to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per
share. Its corresponding  Series values its securities at their cost at the time
of purchase and assumes a constant  amortization  to maturity of any discount or
premium.  Although the Portfolio's  reliance on Rule 2a-7 and the Series' use of
the amortized  cost  valuation  method should enable the  Portfolio,  under most
conditions, to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there can be no assurance it
will be able to do so. An  investment  in the Liquid Asset  Portfolio is neither
insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

         The  Equity  Series  (except  AMT  International   Investments)   value
securities  (including  options) listed on the NYSE, the American Stock Exchange
or other national securities exchanges or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, and
other securities for which market quotations are readily available,  at the last
reported sale price on the day the securities  are being valued.  If there is no
reported sale of such a security on that day, the security is valued at the mean
between its closing bid and asked  prices on that day.  These  Series  value all
other securities and assets,  including restricted securities,  by a method that
the trustees of Managers Trust believe accurately reflects fair value.

         AMT  International  Investments  values  equity  securities at the last
reported   sale  price  on  the   principal   exchange   or  in  the   principal
over-the-counter  market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of
regular  trading on the NYSE on the day the  securities  are being valued or, if
there  are no  sales,  at the  last  available  bid  price  on  that  day.  Debt
obligations  are valued at the last available bid price for such  securities or,
if such  prices  are not  available,  at prices  for  securities  of  comparable
maturity,  quality,  and type.  Foreign securities are translated from the local
currency into U.S.  dollars using current  exchange rates. The Series values all
other  types of  securities  and assets,  including  restricted  securities  and
securities for which market  quotations are not readily  available,  by a method
that the trustees of Managers Trust believe accurately reflects fair value.

         AMT International Investments portfolio securities are traded primarily
in  foreign  markets  which  may be open on days when the NYSE is  closed.  As a
result, the NAV of the International  Portfolio may be significantly affected on
days when shareholders have no access to that Portfolio. Similarly, as discussed
above under "Foreign  Securities," other Series may invest to varying degrees in
securities   traded  primarily  in  foreign   markets,   and  their  (and  their
corresponding  Portfolios)  share  prices  may  also be  affected  on days  when
shareholders have no access to the Portfolios.

         AMT  Limited  Maturity  Bond and  Balanced  (debt  securities  portion)
Investments  value  their  securities  on  the  basis  of  bid  quotations  from
independent  pricing services or principal market makers,  or, if quotations are
not  available,  by a  method  that  the  trustees  of  Managers  Trust  believe
accurately  reflects  fair  value.  The Series  periodically  verify  valuations
provided  by  the  pricing  services.   Short-term   securities  with  remaining
maturities of less than 60 days may be valued at cost which,  when combined with
interest earned, approximates market value.

         If NB Management believes that the price of a security obtained under a
Series' valuation  procedures (as described above) does not represent the amount
that the Series reasonably expects to receive on a current sale of the security,
the Series  will  value the  security  based on a method  that the  trustees  of
Managers Trust believe accurately reflects fair value.

Suspension of Redemptions

         The Portfolios are normally open for business each day the NYSE is open
("Business  Day"). The right to redeem a Portfolio's  shares may be suspended or
payment of the redemption price postponed (1) when the NYSE is closed,  (2) when
trading on the NYSE is restricted,  (3) when an emergency  exists as a result of
which disposal by the Portfolio's corresponding Series of securities owned by it
is not  reasonably  practicable  or it is not  reasonably  practicable  for that
Series  fairly to determine  the value of its net assets,  or (4) for such other
period  as the SEC may by  order  permit  for the  protection  of a  Portfolio's
shareholders; provided that applicable SEC rules and regulations shall govern as
to  whether  the  conditions  prescribed  in (2) or (3)  exist.  If the right of
redemption is suspended, shareholders may withdraw their offers of redemption or
they  will  receive  payment  at the NAV per  share in  effect  at the  close of
business on the first Business Day after termination of the suspension.

Redemptions in Kind

         Each Portfolio reserves the right, under certain  conditions,  to honor
any  request  for  redemption  (or a  combination  of  requests  from  the  same
shareholder in any 90-day period) exceeding  $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of
the  Portfolio,  whichever  is less,  by making  payment  in whole or in part in
securities  valued as described  under "Share Prices and Net Asset Value" in the
Prospectus. If payment is made in securities, a shareholder generally will incur
brokerage  expenses or other  transaction  costs in converting  those securities
into cash and will be  subject  to  fluctuation  in the  market  prices of those
securities  until  they are sold.  The  Portfolios  do not  redeem in kind under
normal circumstances,  but would do so when the Trust's Trustees determined that
it was in the best interests of a Portfolio's shareholders as a whole.

                        DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

         Each Portfolio  distributes to its  shareholders  (primarily  insurance
company separate accounts and Qualified Plans) substantially all of its share of
its  corresponding  Series' net  investment  income  (after  deducting  expenses
incurred  directly by the Portfolio),  any net realized  capital gains and, with
respect to all Portfolios  except the Liquid Asset  Portfolio,  any net realized
gains from  foreign  currency  transactions,  if any,  earned or realized by its
corresponding  Series.  Each Portfolio  calculates its net investment income and
NAV as of the close of regular  trading on the NYSE (usually  4:00 p.m.  Eastern
time) on each  Business  Day. A Series' net  investment  income  consists of all
income accrued on portfolio assets less accrued  expenses,  but does not include
net realized or unrealized  capital and foreign  currency  gains or losses.  Net
investment  income and net gains and losses are reflected in a Series' NAV (and,
hence,  its  corresponding  Portfolio's  NAV) until they are  distributed.  With
respect to the Mid-Cap Growth,  Guardian,  Growth, Partners,  Balanced,  Limited
Maturity Bond, Socially Responsive and International Portfolios,  dividends from
net investment  income and  distributions  of net realized capital gains and net
realized gains from foreign  currency  transactions,  if any,  normally are paid
once  annually,  in February.  The Liquid  Asset  Portfolio  distributes  to its
shareholders  substantially  all of its share of its  corresponding  Series' net
investment  income (net of the  Portfolio's  expenses) and net realized  capital
gains. Income dividends are declared daily for the Liquid Asset Portfolio at the
time its NAV is calculated and are paid monthly, and net realized capital gains,
if any, are normally distributed annually in February.

                           ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION

         Set forth below is a  discussion  of certain  U.S.  federal  income tax
issues concerning the Portfolios and the Series and the purchase, ownership, and
disposition of Portfolio shares. This discussion does not purport to be complete
or to deal with all aspects of federal  income  taxation that may be relevant to
shareholders  in light of their  particular  circumstances.  This  discussion is
based upon present  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the  "Code"),  the  regulations  promulgated   thereunder,   and  judicial  and
administrative  ruling  authorities,  all of which are subject to change,  which
change may be retroactive.  Prospective  investors  should consult their own tax
advisers with regard to the federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership,
or  disposition of Portfolio  shares,  as well as the tax  consequences  arising
under the laws of any state, foreign country, or other taxing jurisdiction.

Taxation of Each Portfolio

         Subchapter M

         To  continue  to qualify for  treatment  as a RIC under the Code,  each
Portfolio must distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at least 90%
of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net investment
income,  net short-term capital gain, and, with respect to all Portfolios except
the  Liquid  Asset   Portfolio,   net  gains  from  certain   foreign   currency
transactions)  ("Distribution  Requirement")  and must meet  several  additional
requirements.  With respect to each Portfolio,  these  requirements  include the
following:  (1) the Portfolio  must derive at least 90% of its gross income each
taxable year from  dividends,  interest,  payments  with  respect to  securities
loans,  and gains from the sale or other  disposition  of stock,  securities  or
foreign currencies,  or other income (including gains from options, futures, and
forward contracts (collectively, "Hedging Instruments")) derived with respect to
its business of  investing  in such stock,  securities  or  currencies  ("Income
Requirement");  and (2) at the close of each quarter of the Portfolio's  taxable
year,  (i) at least 50% of the value of its total assets must be  represented by
cash and cash items, U.S.  Government  securities,  securities of other RICs and
other securities  limited,  in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does
not  exceed 5% of the value of the  Portfolio's  total  assets and that does not
represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities,  and (ii)
not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in securities
(other than U.S.  Government  securities or securities of other RICs) of any one
issuer (together with the 50% requirement,  the "Diversification  Requirement").
Each  Portfolio  intends to satisfy  the  Distribution  Requirement,  the Income
Requirement,  and the  Diversification  Requirement.  If a  Portfolio  failed to
qualify for  treatment as a RIC for any taxable  year,  it would be taxed on the
full amount of its taxable income for that year without being able to deduct the
distributions it makes to its shareholders and the shareholders  would treat all
those distributions,  including distributions of net capital gain (the excess of
net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), as dividends (that
is, ordinary income) to the extent of the Portfolio's earnings and profits.

         The Trust and Managers  Trust have  received a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service ("Service"), except with respect to the Guardian, Mid-Cap Growth
and Socially  Responsive  Portfolio,  that each  Portfolio,  as an investor in a
corresponding  Series of Managers  Trust,  will be deemed to own a proportionate
share of the Series' assets and income for purposes of  determining  whether the
Portfolio  satisfies  the  requirements  described  above to  qualify  as a RIC.
Although  these  rulings may not be relied on as precedent by Guardian,  Mid-Cap
Growth, or Socially Responsive Portfolios,  NB Management believes the reasoning
thereof and, hence, their conclusion applies to those Portfolios as well.

         Each  Portfolio  will be  subject  to a  nondeductible  4%  excise  tax
("Excise  Tax") to the extent it fails to  distribute by the end of any calendar
year substantially all of its ordinary income for that year and capital gain net
income for the one-year  period ending on October 31 of that year,  plus certain
other amounts. To avoid application of the Excise Tax, each Portfolio intends to
make distributions in accordance with the calendar year requirement.

         A  distribution  will be treated as paid on  December  31 of a calendar
year if it is declared by a Portfolio  in October,  November or December of that
year with a record date in such a month and paid by the Portfolio during January
of the following  year.  Such a distribution  will be taxable to shareholders in
the  calendar  year in which  the  distribution  is  declared,  rather  than the
calendar year in which it is received.

         Section 817(h)

         The Portfolios serve as the underlying investments for variable annuity
contracts and variable life insurance  policies  ("Variable  Contracts")  issued
through separate  accounts of the life insurance  companies which may or may not
be  affiliated.  Section  817(h)  of the Code  imposes  certain  diversification
standards  on the  underlying  assets of  segregated  asset  accounts  that fund
contracts  such as the Variable  Contracts  (that is, the assets of the Series),
which  are  in  addition  to the  diversification  requirements  imposed  on the
Portfolios  by the 1940 Act and  Subchapter  M of the Code.  Failure  to satisfy
those  standards  would result in imposition of Federal income tax on a Variable
Contract  owner  with  respect  to the  increase  in the  value of the  Variable
Contract.  Section 817(h)(2) provides that a segregated asset account that funds
contracts   such  as  the   Variable   Contracts   is  treated  as  meeting  the
diversification  standards  if, as of the close of each  calendar  quarter,  the
assets in the  account  meet the  diversification  requirements  for a regulated
investment  company and no more than 55% of those assets  consist of cash,  cash
items, U.S. Government  securities and securities of other regulated  investment
companies.

         The Treasury  Regulations  amplify the  diversification  standards  set
forth in Section 817(h) and provide an  alternative  to the provision  described
above. Under the regulations,  an investment portfolio will be deemed adequately
diversified  if (i) no more  than 55% of the  value of the  total  assets of the
portfolio is  represented by any one  investment;  (ii) no more than 70% of such
value is  represented  by any two  investments;  (iii) no more  than 80% of such
value is represented by any three investments; and (iv) no more than 90% of such
value is represented by any four investments.  For purposes of these Regulations
all securities of the same issuer are treated as a single  investment,  but each
United  States  government  agency  or  instrumentality  shall be  treated  as a
separate issuer.

         Each Series will be managed with the intention of complying  with these
diversification requirements. It is possible that, in order to comply with these
requirements, less desirable investment decisions may be made which would affect
the investment performance of a Portfolio.

         Section 817 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations  thereunder do not
currently  address  variable  contract  diversification  in  the  context  of  a
master/feeder fund structure,  and Socially  Responsive,  the Trust and Managers
Trust,  except  with  respect to the  Guardian,  Mid-Cap  Growth,  and  Socially
Responsive Portfolios,  have received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
concluding that the  "look-through"  rule of Section 817, which would permit the
segregated  asset  accounts  to look  through  to the  underlying  assets of the
Series,  will be  available  for the  variable  contract  diversification  test.
Although  these  rulings may not be relied on as precedent by Guardian,  Mid-Cap
Growth,  or Socially  Responsive  series,  NB Management  believes the reasoning
thereof and, hence their conclusion applies to the those series.

         See the next section for a discussion  of the tax  consequences  to the
Portfolios of distributions  to them from the Series,  investments by the Series
in certain  securities,  and (except for AMT Liquid Asset  Investments)  hedging
transactions engaged in by the Series.

Taxation of Each Series

         Managers  Trust has  received a ruling  from the  Service,  except with
respect to AMT Guardian, Mid-Cap Growth and Socially Responsive Investments,  to
the effect that,  among other things,  each Series will be treated as a separate
partnership  for federal income tax purposes and will not be a "publicly  traded
partnership." As a result,  no Series is subject to federal income tax; instead,
each investor in a Series, such as a Portfolio, is required to take into account
in determining its federal income tax liability its share of the Series' income,
gains,  losses,  deductions,  and  credits,  without  regard to  whether  it has
received any cash distributions from the Series.  Although these rulings may not
be relied on as precedent by Guardian,  Mid-Cap Growth,  or Socially  Responsive
series, NB Management believes the reasoning thereof and, hence their conclusion
applies to the those  series.  A Series  also will not be subject to Delaware or
New York income or franchise tax.

         Because each  Portfolio is deemed to own a  proportionate  share of its
corresponding  Series' assets and income for purposes of determining whether the
Portfolio satisfies the requirements to qualify as a RIC, each Series intends to
conduct  its  operations  so that its  corresponding  Portfolio  will be able to
satisfy all those requirements.

         Distributions  to a Portfolio from its  corresponding  Series  (whether
pursuant to a partial or complete  withdrawal or  otherwise)  will not result in
the Portfolio's recognition of any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes,
except  that  (1)  gain  will be  recognized  to the  extent  any  cash  that is
distributed  exceeds the Portfolio's basis for its interest in the Series before
the  distribution,  (2) income or gain will be recognized if the distribution is
in liquidation of the  Portfolio's  entire interest in the Series and includes a
disproportionate  share of any unrealized  receivables  held by the Series,  (3)
loss will be recognized if a liquidation  distribution  consists  solely of cash
and/or unrealized  receivables and (4) gain (and, in certain  situations,  loss)
may be recognized on an in-kind  distribution by the  Portfolios.  A Portfolio's
basis for its  interest in its  corresponding  Series  generally  will equal the
amount  of cash and the  basis of any  property  the  Portfolio  invests  in the
Series, increased by the Portfolio's share of the Series' net income and capital
gains and  decreased by (a) the amount of cash and the basis of any property the
Series distributes to the Portfolio and (b) the Portfolio's share of the Series'
losses.

         Dividends,  interest,  and in some cases,  capital gains  received by a
Series may be subject to income,  withholding, or other taxes imposed by foreign
countries and U.S.  possessions  that would reduce the yield and/or total return
on its  securities.  Tax conventions  between  certain  countries and the United
States may reduce or eliminate  these foreign taxes,  however,  and many foreign
countries  do not impose  taxes on capital  gains in respect of  investments  by
foreign investors.

         The  Equity  Series  may  invest  in  the  stock  of  "passive  foreign
investment  companies"  ("PFICs").  A PFIC is a foreign corporation other than a
"controlled  foreign  corporation" (i.e., a foreign corporation in which, on any
day during its  taxable  year,  more than 50% of the total  voting  power of all
voting stock therein or the total value of all stock therein is owned, directly,
indirectly,  or constructively,  by "U.S. shareholders," defined as U.S. persons
that individually own, directly, indirectly, or constructively,  at least 10% of
that  voting  power) as to which a Series  is a U.S.  shareholder  and that,  in
general,  meets  either of the  following  tests:  (1) at least 75% of its gross
income is passive;  or (2) an average of at least 50% of its assets produce,  or
are held for the production of, passive income. Under certain circumstances,  if
a Series holds stock of a PFIC, its corresponding  Portfolio (indirectly through
its interest in the Series)  will be subject to federal  income tax on a portion
of  any  "excess  distribution"  received  on the  stock  as  well  as  gain  on
disposition of the stock (collectively,  "PFIC income"),  plus interest thereon,
even if the Portfolio  distributes the PFIC income as a taxable  dividend to its
shareholders. The balance of the PFIC income will be included in the Portfolio's
investment company taxable income and, accordingly, will not be taxable to it to
the  extent  that  income  is  distributed  to its  shareholders  (assuming  the
Portfolio qualifies as a regulated investment company).

         In general,  under the PFIC rules, an excess distribution is treated as
having been realized ratably over the period during which the Portfolio (through
its  corresponding  Series)  held the PFIC  shares.  A Portfolio  will itself be
subject to tax on the  portion,  if any,  of an excess  distribution  that is so
allocated to prior Portfolio  taxable years and an interest factor will be added
to the tax, as if the tax had been payable in such prior taxable years.  Certain
distributions  from a PFIC as well as gain  from  the  sale of PFIC  shares  are
treated as excess  distributions.  Excess  distributions  are  characterized  as
ordinary  income even  though,  absent  application  of the PFIC rules,  certain
excess distributions might have been classified as capital gain.

         If a  Series  invests  in a PFIC  and  elects  to  treat  the PFIC as a
qualified electing fund ("QEF"),  then in lieu of its corresponding  Portfolio's
incurring  the  foregoing tax and interest  obligation,  the Portfolio  would be
required  to include in income  each year its pro rata share of the  Series' pro
rata share of the QEF's  annual  ordinary  earnings  and net  capital  gain (the
excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term  capital loss) -- which
most  likely  would have to be  distributed  by the  Portfolio  to  satisfy  the
Distribution Requirement and avoid imposition of the excise tax -- even if those
earnings  and gain  were  not  received  by the  Series  from  the QEF.  In most
instances it will be very difficult,  if not  impossible,  to make this election
because of certain requirements thereof.

         A holder of stock in a PFIC  generally may elect to include in ordinary
income each  taxable  year the excess,  if any, of the fair market  value of the
stock  over its  adjusted  basis  as of the end of that  year.  Pursuant  to the
election, a deduction (as an ordinary,  not capital, loss) also would be allowed
for the excess,  if any, of the holder's  adjusted  basis in PFIC stock over the
fair market value thereof as of the taxable year-end,  but only to the extent of
any net  mark-to-market  gains with respect to that stock included in income for
prior  taxable  years.  The adjusted  basis in each PFIC's stock  subject to the
election  would be  adjusted  to  reflect  the  amounts of income  included  and
deductions  taken  thereunder  (and  under  regulations  proposed  in 1992  that
provided a similar  election  with respect to the stock of certain  PFICs).  Any
gain on the sale of PFIC stock  subject to a  mark-to-market  election  would be
treated as ordinary income.

         The use by the Series (except AMT Liquid Asset  Investments) of hedging
strategies,  such as writing  (selling)  and  purchasing  futures  contracts and
options and entering into forward  contracts,  involves  complex rules that will
determine  for  income  tax  purposes  the  amount,   character  and  timing  of
recognition of the gains and losses they realize in connection therewith.  Gains
from the  disposition of foreign  currencies  (except  certain gains that may be
excluded by future regulations), and gains from Hedging Instruments derived by a
Series  with  respect to its  business of  investing  in  securities  or foreign
currencies,  will qualify as permissible income for its corresponding  Portfolio
under the Income Requirement

         Exchange-traded  futures contracts,  listed options thereon and certain
forward contracts  constitute  "Section 1256 Contracts."  Section 1256 Contracts
are required to be  "marked-to-market"  (that is, treated as having been sold at
market  value) for federal  income tax purposes at the end of a Series'  taxable
year.  Sixty  percent  of any net gain or loss  recognized  as a result of these
"deemed sales" and 60% of any net realized gain or loss from any actual sales of
Section 1256  contracts are treated as long-term  capital gain or loss,  and the
remainder is treated as short-term  capital gain or loss. Section 1256 contracts
also may be  marked-to-market  for  purposes of the excise tax.  These rules may
operate to increase the amount that a Portfolio  must  distribute to satisfy the
Distribution Requirement,  which will be taxable to the shareholders as ordinary
income,  and to  increase  the net capital  gain  recognized  by the  Portfolio,
without in either case  increasing  the cash  available  to the  Portfolio.  The
Portfolio  may elect to  exclude  certain  transactions  from the  operation  of
section 1256,  although  doing so may have the effect of increasing the relative
proportion of net  short-term  capital gain (taxable as ordinary  income) and/or
increasing  the  amount  of  dividends  that  must be  distributed  to meet  the
Distribution Requirement and avoid imposition of the excise tax.

         Transactions in options,  futures and forward contracts undertaken by a
Series may result in "straddles"  for federal income tax purposes.  The straddle
rules may affect the character of gains (or losses) realized by the Series,  and
losses  realized by the Series on  positions  that are part of a straddle may be
deferred  under the  straddle  rules,  rather than being  taken into  account in
calculating  the  taxable  income for the  taxable  year in which the losses are
realized.  In addition,  certain carrying charges  (including  interest expense)
associated with positions in a straddle may be required to be capitalized rather
than  deducted  currently.  Certain  elections  that each  Series  may make with
respect to its  straddle  positions  may also affect the amount,  character  and
timing of the recognition of gains or losses from the affected positions.

         Because only a few  regulations  implementing  the straddle  rules have
been  promulgated,  the consequences of such transactions to each Series are not
entirely clear. The straddle rules may increase the amount of short-term capital
gain realized by each Series (and its corresponding  Portfolio),  which is taxed
as ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.  Because application of the
straddle rules may affect the character of gains or losses,  defer losses and/or
accelerate  the  recognition  of gains or  losses  from  the  affected  straddle
positions,  the amount which must be  distributed  to  shareholders  as ordinary
income or long-term capital gain may be increased or decreased  substantially as
compared to a fund that did not engage in such transactions.


         Section 988 of the Code also may apply to forward contracts and options
on foreign  currencies.  Under  section 988 each foreign  currency  gain or loss
generally is computed  separately and treated as ordinary income or loss. In the
case of overlap between section 1256 and 988, special  provisions  determine the
character and timing of any income, gain or loss.

         When a covered  call  option  written  (sold) by a Series  expires,  it
realizes  a  short-term  capital  gain  equal to the  amount of the  premium  it
received for writing the option.  When a Series terminates its obligations under
such an option by entering into a closing transaction, it realizes a short-term,
capital gain (or loss), depending on whether the cost of the closing transaction
is less (or more) than the premium it received when it wrote the option.  When a
covered call option  written by a Series is exercised,  the Series is treated as
having sold the underlying  security,  producing long-term or short-term capital
gain or loss,  depending on the holding  period of the  underlying  security and
whether the sum of the option price  received on the  exercise  plus the premium
received  when it  wrote  the  option  is more or less  than  the  basis  of the
underlying security.

         If a Series has an "appreciated  financial  position" -- generally,  an
interest (including an interest through an option,  futures or forward contract,
or short sale) with respect to any stock,  debt instrument (other than "straight
debt"),  or  partnership  interest  the fair market  value of which  exceeds its
adjusted  basis  -- and  enters  into a  "constructive  sale"  of  the  same  or
substantially  similar  property,  the Series  will be treated as having made an
actual sale thereof,  with the result that gain will be recognized at that time.
A constructive sale generally  consists of a short sale, an offsetting  notional
principal  contract  (e.g., a swap contract),  or a futures or forward  contract
entered  into by a  Series  or a  related  person  with  respect  to the same or
substantially  similar  property.  In  addition,  if the  appreciated  financial
position  is  itself  a  short  sale  or  such a  contract,  acquisition  of the
underlying  property  or  substantially   similar  property  will  be  deemed  a
constructive  sale. The foregoing will not apply,  however,  to any  transaction
during any taxable year that otherwise  would be treated as a constructive  sale
if the  transaction  is closed within 30 days after the end of that year and the
Series holds the appreciated  financial position unhedged for 60 days after that
closing  (i.e.,  at no time during that 60-day period is the Series risk of loss
regarding that position reduced by reason of certain specified transactions with
respect to substantially  similar or related property,  such as having an option
to sell, being contractually obligated to sell, making a short sale, or granting
an option to buy substantially identical stock or securities).

         Gains or losses  attributable  to  fluctuations in exchange rates which
occur between the time a Series accrues  income or other  receivables or accrues
expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the
Series actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities generally are
treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss.  Similarly,  on disposition of some
investments, including debt securities and certain forward contracts denominated
in a foreign currency, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value
of the foreign  currency between the acquisition and disposition of the position
also are treated as ordinary gain or loss.  These gains and losses,  referred to
under the Code as "Section 988" gains or losses, increase or decrease the amount
of the Series'  investment company taxable income available to be distributed to
its  shareholders  as  ordinary  income.  If  Section  988 losses  exceed  other
investment company taxable income during a taxable year, the Series would not be
able to make any ordinary dividend  distributions,  or distributions made before
the losses  were  realized  would be  recharacterized  as a return of capital to
shareholders,  rather than as an ordinary dividend,  reducing each shareholder's
basis in his or her Series' shares.

         AMT Limited  Maturity Bond and Liquid Asset  Investments  may invest in
municipal  bonds that are purchased  with market  discount  (that is, at a price
less than the bond's  principal amount or, in the case of a bond that was issued
with OID, at a price less than the amount of the issue price plus  accrued  OID)
("municipal  market discount  bonds").  If a bond's market discount is less than
the  product  of (1) 0.25% of the  redemption  price at  maturity  times (2) the
number of complete years to maturity after the taxpayer  acquired the bond, then
no  market  discount  is  considered  to  exist.  Gain on the  disposition  of a
municipal market discount bond purchased by the Series (other than a bond with a
fixed maturity date within one year from its issuance),  generally is treated as
ordinary (taxable) income, rather than capital gain, to the extent of the bond's
accrued market  discount at the time of  disposition.  Market discount on such a
bond generally is accrued  ratably,  on a daily basis,  over the period from the
acquisition  date to the date of maturity.  In lieu of treating the  disposition
gain as described  above, a Series may elect to include  market  discount in its
gross income currently, for each taxable year to which it is attributable.

         AMT Partners,  Balanced,  and Socially Responsive  Investments each may
acquire zero coupon or other securities  issued with OID. As the holder of those
securities, each Series (and, through it, its corresponding Portfolio) must take
into income the OID and other  non-cash  income that  accrues on the  securities
during the taxable year, even if no  corresponding  payment on the securities is
received  during the year.  Because  each  Portfolio  annually  must  distribute
substantially all of its investment  company taxable income (including its share
of  its   corresponding   Series'  accrued  OID)  to  satisfy  the  Distribution
Requirement  and avoid  imposition  of the excise tax ,it may be  required  in a
particular  year to  distribute as a dividend an amount that is greater than its
share of the total amount of cash its  corresponding  Series actually  receives.
Those  distributions  will be made  from a  Portfolio's  (or  its  share  of its
corresponding  Series') cash assets or, if  necessary,  from the proceeds of the
Series'  sales of portfolio  securities.  A Series may realize  capital gains or
losses from those  sales,  which would  increase or decrease  its  corresponding
Series' investment company taxable income and/or net capital gain.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

         Neuberger  Berman acts as each Series'  principal  broker  (except with
respect to AMT International  Investments) to the extent a broker is used in the
purchase and sale of portfolio  securities (other than certain securities traded
on the OTC market) and in  connection  with the  purchase and sale of options on
their  securities.  Neuberger  Berman  may act as broker  for AMT  International
Investments. Neuberger Berman receives brokerage commissions for these services.
Transactions in portfolio securities for which Neuberger Berman serves as broker
will be effected in accordance with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act.

         To the extent a broker is not used,  purchases  and sales of  portfolio
securities generally are transacted with the issuers,  underwriters,  or dealers
serving as primary  market-makers  acting as principals  for the securities on a
net basis.  The  Series  typically  do not pay  brokerage  commissions  for such
purchases and sales. Instead, the price paid for newly issued securities usually
includes a concession or discount paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and the
prices quoted by  market-makers  reflect a spread  between the bid and the asked
prices from which the dealer derives a profit.

         In purchasing and selling portfolio  securities other than as described
in the preceding paragraph (for example, in the secondary market),  each Series'
policy  is  to  seek  best  execution  at  the  most  favorable  prices  through
responsible  broker-dealers  and,  in  the  case  of  agency  transactions,   at
competitive   commission   rates.   In  selecting   broker-dealers   to  execute
transactions, NB Management considers such factors as the price of the security,
the rate of commission,  the size and difficulty of the order,  the reliability,
integrity,   financial   condition,   and  general   execution  and  operational
capabilities  of competing  broker-dealers,  and may consider the  brokerage and
research  services  they provide to the Series or NB  Management.  Some of these
research  services  may be of value to NB  Management  in  advising  its various
clients   (including  the  Series)  although  not  all  of  these  services  are
necessarily  used  by NB  Management  in  managing  the  Series.  Under  certain
conditions,  a  Series  may pay  higher  brokerage  commissions  in  return  for
brokerage and research services, although no Series has a current arrangement to
do so. In any case, each Series may effect principal  transactions with a dealer
who furnishes  research  services,  may designate any dealer to receive  selling
concessions,  discounts,  or other  allowances,  or may otherwise  deal with any
dealer in connection with the acquisition of securities in underwritings.

         Insofar as portfolio  transactions of AMT Partners  Investments  result
from  active  management  of  equity   securities,   and  insofar  as  portfolio
transactions of AMT Growth Investments and AMT Mid-Cap Growth Investments result
from seeking  capital  appreciation  by selling  securities  whenever  sales are
deemed  advisable  without  regard to the length of time the securities may have
been held, it may be expected that the aggregate  brokerage  commissions paid by
those  Series  to  brokers  (including  Neuberger  Berman  where it acts in that
capacity) may be greater than if securities  were selected solely on a long-term
basis.

         Portfolio  securities  are,  from time to time,  loaned  by the  Equity
Series to Neuberger  Berman in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions of an
order issued by the SEC. The order exempts such  transactions from provisions of
the 1940 Act that would otherwise prohibit such transactions, subject to certain
conditions.  In accordance with the order,  securities loans made by a Series to
Neuberger Berman are fully secured by cash collateral. The portion of the income
on the cash  collateral  which  may be  shared  with  Neuberger  Berman is to be
determined by reference to concurrent  arrangements between Neuberger Berman and
non-affiliated  lenders  with  which it  engages  in  similar  transactions.  In
addition,  where Neuberger  Berman borrows  securities from a Series in order to
re-lend them to others, Neuberger Berman may be required to pay that Series on a
quarterly  basis,  certain of the earnings that Neuberger  Berman  otherwise has
derived from the re-lending of the borrowed  securities.  When Neuberger  Berman
desires to borrow a security that a Series has indicated a willingness  to lend,
Neuberger Berman must borrow such security from that Series,  rather than from a
unaffiliated  lender,  unless  the  unaffiliated  lender is willing to lend such
security on more  favorable  terms (as specified in the order) than that Series.
If, in any month, a Series'  expense  exceed its income in any  securities  loan
transaction with Neuberger  Berman,  Neuberger Berman must reimburse that Series
for such loss.

         A committee of Independent  Series  Trustees from time to time reviews,
among other things,  information relating to securities loans by the Series. The
following  information  reflects  interest  income earned by the Series from the
cash  collateralization  of  securities  loans  during  the fiscal  years  ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996. As reflected below, Neuberger Berman received
a portion of the interest income from the cash collateral.

</TABLE>

         Each  Series  may  also  lend  securities  to  unaffiliated   entities,
including,  banks,  brokerage  firms, and other  institutional  investors judged
creditworthy  by NB  Management,  provided that cash or  equivalent  collateral,
equal  to at  least  100% of the  market  value  of the  loaned  securities,  is
continuously  maintained by the borrower with the Series.  The Series may invest
the cash  collateral  and earn income or it may receive an agreed upon amount of
interest income from a borrower who has delivered equivalent collateral.  During
the time  securities  are on loan,  the  borrower  will pay the Series an amount
equivalent to any dividends or interest paid on such securities. These loans are
subject to termination  at the option of the Series or the borrower.  The Series
may pay reasonable  administrative  and custodial fees in connection with a loan
and  may  pay a  negotiated  portion  of the  interest  earned  on the  cash  or
equivalent  collateral  to the borrower or placing  broker.  The Series does not
have the right to vote  securities  on loan,  but would  terminate  the loan and
regain the right to vote if that were  considered  important with respect to the
investment.

         In effecting  securities  transactions,  each Series generally seeks to
obtain  the best  price and  execution  of  orders.  Commission  rates,  being a
component of price,  are  considered  along with other  relevant  factors.  Each
Series plans to continue to use  Neuberger  Berman as its broker  where,  in the
judgment of NB Management,  that firm is able to obtain a price and execution at
least as  favorable  as  other  qualified  brokers.  To the  Series'  knowledge,
however,  no affiliate of any Series receives give-ups or reciprocal business in
connection with their securities transactions.

         The use of Neuberger  Berman as a broker for a Series is subject to the
requirements  of Section 11(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 ("Section
11(a)").  Section 11(a) prohibits members of national securities  exchanges from
retaining  compensation  for executing  exchange  transactions for accounts that
they or their affiliates manage, except where they have the authorization of the
persons  authorized to transact business for the account and comply with certain
annual reporting requirements. The Board of Trustees of the Series has expressly
authorized Neuberger Berman to retain such compensation and Neuberger Berman has
agreed to comply with the reporting requirements of Section 11(a).

         Under the 1940 Act, commissions paid by a Series to Neuberger Berman in
connection  with a  purchase  or  sale of  securities  offered  on a  securities
exchange  may  not  exceed  the  usual  and   customary   broker's   commission.
Accordingly,  it is each  Series'  policy  that  the  commissions  to be paid to
Neuberger Berman must, in NB Management's  judgment be (1) at least as favorable
as those  that would be charged by other  brokers  having  comparable  execution
capability,  and (2) at  least as  favorable  as  commissions  contemporaneously
charged by  Neuberger  Berman on  comparable  transactions  for its most favored
unaffiliated customers, except for accounts for which Neuberger Berman acts as a
clearing  broker for another  brokerage  firm and customers of Neuberger  Berman
considered by a majority of the Independent Series Trustees not to be comparable
to the Series.  The Series do not deem it practicable and in their best interest
to  solicit  competitive  bids for  commissions  on each  transaction.  However,
consideration  regularly is given to information concerning the prevailing level
of  commissions  charged on  comparable  transactions  by other  brokers  during
comparable  periods of time. The 1940 Act generally  prohibits  Neuberger Berman
from acting as  principal in the  purchase or sale of  securities  for a Series'
account, unless an appropriate exemption is available.

         A committee of Independent  Series  Trustees from time to time reviews,
among other things, information relating to the commissions charged by Neuberger
Berman to the Series and to its other customers and  information  concerning the
prevailing  level of  commissions  charged by other  brokers  having  comparable
execution  capability.  In addition,  the procedures pursuant to which Neuberger
Berman  effects  brokerage  transactions  for the Series  must be  reviewed  and
approved no less often than  annually by a majority  of the  Independent  Series
Trustees.

         To ensure that accounts of all investment clients,  including a Series,
are  treated  fairly in the event that  Neuberger  Berman  receives  transaction
instructions  regarding a security  for more than one  investment  account at or
about the same time,  Neuberger  Berman may combine  orders  placed on behalf of
clients,  including  advisory  accounts  in  which  affiliated  persons  have an
investment  interest,  for the purpose of negotiating  brokerage  commissions or
obtaining a more favorable price.  Where  appropriate,  securities  purchased or
sold may be  allocated,  in  terms  of  amount,  to a  client  according  to the
proportion  that the  size of the  order  placed  by that  account  bears to the
aggregate size of orders contemporaneously placed by the other accounts, subject
to de minimis  exceptions.  All  participating  accounts will pay or receive the
same price.

         Each Series  expects that it will  continue to execute a portion of its
transactions  through  brokers other than Neuberger  Berman.  In selecting those
brokers,  NB Management  will consider the quality and  reliability of brokerage
services,   including   execution   capability  and  performance  and  financial
responsibility,  and may consider the research and other investment  information
provided by those brokers, and the willingness of particular brokers to sell the
Variable Contracts issued by the Life Companies.

         A committee,  comprised of officers of NB Management  and principals of
Neuberger  Berman who are portfolio  managers of some of the Series and Other NB
Funds (collectively, "NB Funds") and some of Neuberger Berman's managed accounts
("Managed  Accounts")  evaluates  semi-annually  the nature  and  quality of the
brokerage  and  research  services  provided  by  other  brokers.  Based on this
evaluation, the committee establishes a list and projected rankings of preferred
brokers  for use in  determining  the  relative  amounts  of  commissions  to be
allocated to those  brokers.  Ordinarily  the brokers on the list effect a large
portion of the brokerage  transactions for the NB Funds and the Managed Accounts
that are not effected by Neuberger Berman.  However,  in any semi-annual period,
brokers  not on the list may be used,  and the  relative  amounts  of  brokerage
commissions  paid to the  brokers  on the list may vary  substantially  from the
projected  rankings.  These  variations  reflect the  following  factors,  among
others:  (1) brokers not on the list or ranking  below other brokers on the list
may be selected for  particular  transactions  because they provide better price
and/or execution,  which is the primary  consideration in allocating  brokerage;
and (2) adjustments may be required because of periodic changes in the execution
or research  capabilities of particular brokers, or in the execution or research
needs of the NB Funds and/or the Managed Accounts;  and (3) the aggregate amount
of  brokerage  commissions  generated by  transactions  for the NB Funds and the
Managed  Accounts may change  substantially  from one semi-annual  period to the
next.

         The  commissions  paid to a broker other than  Neuberger  Berman may be
higher than the amount another firm might charge if NB Management  determines in
good faith that the amount of those commissions is reasonable in relation to the
value  of the  brokerage  and  research  services  provided  by the  broker.  NB
Management  believes  that those  research  services  provide  the  Series  with
benefits by supplementing the information  otherwise available to NB Management.
That  research  information  may be used by NB  Management  in  servicing  their
respective  funds and, in some  cases,  by  Neuberger  Berman in  servicing  the
Managed  Accounts.  On the  other  hand,  research  information  received  by NB
Management from brokers effecting portfolio  transactions on behalf of the Other
NB Funds and by Neuberger Berman from brokers executing  portfolio  transactions
on behalf of the Managed Accounts may be used for the Series' benefit.

         Theodore P. Giuliano and Catherine Waterworth; Josephine Mahaney; Kevin
L. Risen and Allan R. White III; Valerie Chang; Jennifer K. Silver and Brooke A.
Cobb; Michael M. Kassen,  Robert I. Gendelman and S. Basu Mullick;  and Janet W.
Prindle;  each of whom is a Vice  President  of NB  Management  (except  for Ms.
Chang,  who is an Assistant Vice President) and a principal of Neuberger  Berman
(except for Ms. Waterworth,  Ms. Mahaney, Mr. Cobb, Ms. Chang, and Mr. Mullick),
are the persons primarily responsible for making decisions as to specific action
to be taken with respect to the  investment  portfolios  of: AMT Balanced  (debt
securities  portion),  Limited  Maturity Bond, and Liquid Asset (with respect to
Mr. Giuliani); Liquid Asset; Guardian;  International;  Growth; Balanced (equity
securities  portion)  and Mid-Cap  Growth;  Partners;  and  Socially  Responsive
Investments;  respectively.  Each of them has full authority to take action with
respect  to  portfolio  transactions  and  may or may  not  consult  with  other
personnel  of NB  Management  prior to taking  such  action.  If Ms.  Prindle is
unavailable  to  perform  her   responsibilities,   Robert  Ladd  and/or  Ingrid
Saukaitis,  each of whom is a Assistant Vice  President of NB  Management,  will
assume responsibility for the portfolio of AMT Socially Responsive Investments.

                               PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

         The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of the
cost of the securities purchased or the proceeds from the securities sold by the
Series during the fiscal year (other than securities, including options, foreign
financial futures contracts and forward contracts,  whose maturity or expiration
date at the time of acquisition was one year or less),  divided by the month-end
average monthly value of such securities owned by the Series during the year.

                             REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

         Shareholders of each Portfolio receive unaudited  semi-annual financial
statements,  as well as year-end financial statements audited by the independent
auditors for the Portfolio and for its  corresponding  Series.  Each Portfolio's
report shows the investments  owned by its  corresponding  Series and the market
values  thereof and  provides  other  information  about the  Portfolio  and its
operations.   In  addition,   the  report  contains  the  Portfolio's  financial
statements,  including the Portfolio's  beneficial interest in its corresponding
Series.

                       INFORMATION REGARDING ORGANIZATION,
                        CAPITALIZATION, AND OTHER MATTERS

The Portfolios

         Each Portfolio is a separate  series of the Trust, a Delaware  business
trust organized  pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated May 23, 1994. The Trust is
registered under the 1940 Act as a diversified,  open-end management  investment
company,  commonly  known  as  a  mutual  fund.  The  Trust  has  nine  separate
Portfolios.  Each  Portfolio  invests  all of its net  investable  assets in its
corresponding  Series,  in each case  receiving  a  beneficial  interest in that
Series. The trustees of the Trust may establish additional portfolios or classes
of shares,  without the approval of  shareholders.  The assets of each Portfolio
belong only to that  Portfolio,  and the liabilities of each Portfolio are borne
solely by that Portfolio and no other.

         NB  Management  and Neuberger  Berman serve as  investment  manager and
sub-advisor,  respectively,  to other mutual funds,  and the investments for the
Portfolios  (through  their  corresponding  series)  are  managed  by  the  same
portfolio  managers who manage one or more other mutual funds, that have similar
names,  investment  objectives and  investment  styles as each Portfolio and are
offered  directly to the public by means of separate  prospectuses.  These other
mutual  funds are not part of the Trust or Managers  Trust.  You should be aware
that each  Portfolio  is likely to differ from the other  mutual  funds in size,
cash flow  pattern,  and  certain  tax  matters,  and may differ in  risk/return
characteristics.  Accordingly,  the portfolio  holdings and  performance  of the
Portfolios may vary from those of the other mutual funds with similar names.

         Description  of  Shares.  Each  Portfolio  is  authorized  to  issue an
unlimited number of shares of beneficial  interest (par value $0.001 per share).
Shares of each Portfolio represent equal  proportionate  interests in the assets
of  that  Portfolio  only  and  have  identical  voting,  dividend,  redemption,
liquidation,   and  other   rights.   All  shares  issued  are  fully  paid  and
non-assessable  under Delaware law, and shareholders have no preemptive or other
right to subscribe to any additional shares.

         Shareholder  Meetings.  The trustees of the Trust do not intend to hold
annual  meetings of  shareholders  of the  Portfolios.  The  trustees  will call
special  meetings of shareholders of a Portfolio only if required under the 1940
Act or in their discretion or upon the written request of holders of 10% or more
of the  outstanding  shares of that  Portfolio  entitled  to vote.  Pursuant  to
current  interpretations of the 1940 Act, the Life Companies will solicit voting
instructions  from Variable Contract owners with respect to any matters that are
presented to a vote of shareholders of that Portfolio.

         Certain  Provisions of the Trust  Instrument.  Under  Delaware law, the
shareholders of a Portfolio will not be personally liable for the obligations of
any  Portfolio;  a  shareholder  is entitled to the same  limitation of personal
liability  extended to shareholders of  corporations.  To guard against the risk
that  Delaware law might not be applied in other  states,  the Trust  Instrument
requires  that every written  obligation  of the Trust or a Portfolio  contain a
statement  that such  obligation  may be enforced only against the assets of the
Trust or Portfolio  and provides for  indemnification  out of Trust or Portfolio
property of any shareholder  nevertheless  held  personally  liable for Trust or
Portfolio obligations, respectively.

The Series

         Each Series is a separate  series of Managers  Trust, a New York common
law trust organized as of May 24, 1994.  Managers Trust is registered  under the
1940 Act as a diversified,  open-end  management  investment  company.  Managers
Trust has nine  separate  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.

         Portfolios' Investment in the Series. Each Portfolio is a "feeder" fund
that seeks to achieve  its  investment  objective  by  investing  all of its net
investable assets in its corresponding  Series (a "master" fund) having the same
investment objective,  policies, and limitations as the Portfolio.  Accordingly,
each Series directly acquires its own securities and its corresponding Portfolio
acquires an indirect interest in those securities.

         Each Portfolio's  investment in its corresponding Series is in the form
of a non-transferable beneficial interest. Members of the general public may not
purchase a direct interest in the Series.  Currently, each Portfolio is the sole
investor in its corresponding Series. It is possible that one or more Series, in
the  future,  may  permit  other  institutional  investors,  including  but  not
necessarily   limited  to  the  managed  separate  accounts  of  life  insurance
companies,  to invest in the Series.  All investors will invest in the Series on
the same terms and  conditions as the  Portfolios  and will pay a  proportionate
share of the  expenses of the Series.  The  Portfolios  do not sell their shares
directly to members of the general  public.  Other investors in the Series would
not be required to sell their shares at the same offering  price as a Portfolio,
could have a different  administration  fee and expenses  than a Portfolio,  and
might charge a sales  commission.  Therefore,  Portfolio  shareholders  may have
different returns than  shareholders in another entity that invests  exclusively
in the Series.

         The trustees of the Trust and Managers Trust believe that investment in
a Series by other potential investors may enable the Series to realize economies
of scale that could reduce operating expenses,  thereby producing higher returns
and  benefiting  all  Shareholders.  However,  a  Portfolio's  investment in its
corresponding  Series may be affected by the actions of other large investors in
the Series,  if any. For example,  if a large  investor in a Series other than a
Portfolio redeemed its interest in the Series,  the Series' remaining  investors
(including  the  Portfolio)  might,  as a  result,  experience  higher  pro rata
operating expenses, thereby producing lower returns.

         Each   Portfolio   may   withdraw  its  entire   investment   from  its
corresponding Series at any time, if the trustees of the Trust determine that it
is in the best  interests  of the  Portfolio  and its  shareholders  to do so. A
Portfolio  might  withdraw,  for example,  if there were other  investors in the
Series  with power to,  and who did by a vote of all  investors  (including  the
Portfolio),  change the investment  objective,  policies,  or limitations of the
Series in a manner not  acceptable  to the  trustees of the Trust.  A withdrawal
could  result in a  distribution  in kind of  securities  (as  opposed to a cash
distribution) by the Series to the Portfolio.  That distribution could result in
a less  diversified  portfolio of investments for the Portfolio and could affect
adversely the liquidity of the Portfolio's investment portfolio.  If a Portfolio
decided to convert those  securities  to cash, it usually would incur  brokerage
fees or other transaction  costs. If a Portfolio  withdrew its investment from a
Series,  the trustees would  consider what action might be taken,  including the
investment of all of the  Portfolio's  net  investable  assets in another pooled
investment  entity having  substantially  the same  investment  objective as the
Portfolio or the  retention by the  Portfolio of its own  investment  manager to
manage its assets in accordance  with its investment  objective,  policies,  and
limitations. The inability of the Portfolio to find a suitable replacement could
have a significant impact on shareholders.

         Investor  Meetings  and  Voting.  Each  Series  normally  will not hold
meetings of  investors  except as required by the 1940 Act.  Each  investor in a
Series  will be  entitled  to  vote in  proportion  to its  relative  beneficial
interest in the Series.  On most issues  subjected  to a vote of  investors,  as
required  by the 1940 Act and other  applicable  law, a Portfolio  will  solicit
proxies  from its  shareholders  and will  vote its  interest  in the  Series in
proportion  to the  votes  cast by the  Portfolio's  shareholders.  Pursuant  to
current interpretations of the 1940 Act, the Life Companies who are shareholders
of the Portfolio  will solicit  voting  instructions  from contract  owners with
respect to any matters that are  presented to a vote of Portfolio  shareholders.
If there are other  investors in a Series,  there can be no  assurance  that any
issue that receives a majority of the votes cast by Portfolio  shareholders will
receive a  majority  of votes  cast by all Series  investors;  indeed,  if other
investors hold a majority interest in the Series, they could have voting control
of the Series.

         Certain Provisions.  Each investor in a Series,  including a Portfolio,
will be liable for all  obligations of the Series,  but not of the other Series.
However, the risk of an investor in a Series incurring financial loss on account
of such  liability  would be  limited to  circumstances  in which the Series had
inadequate  insurance and was unable to meet its  obligations out of its assets.
Upon  liquidation of a Series,  investors would be entitled to share pro rata in
the net assets of the Series available for distribution to investors.

                          CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT

         Each  Portfolio  and Series has  selected  State  Street Bank and Trust
Company ("State Street"),  225 Franklin Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts 02110 as
custodian  for its  securities  and  cash.  State  Street  also  serves  as each
Portfolio's  Transfer  Agent  and  shareholder  servicing  agent,  administering
purchases and redemptions Trust shares through its Boston Service Center.

                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

         Each Portfolio and Series has selected _____________________________ as
the independent auditors who will audit its financial statements.

                                  LEGAL COUNSEL

         Each Portfolio and Series has selected Dechert Price & Rhoads, 1775 Eye
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006 as legal
counsel.

           APPENDIX A: RATINGS OF CORPORATE BONDS AND COMMERCIAL PAPER

S&P corporate bond ratings

         AAA - Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.

         AA - Bonds rated AA have a very strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and
repay principal and differ from the higher rated issues only in small degree.

         A - Bonds  rated A have a strong  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay
principal, although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in  circumstances  and  economic  conditions  than bonds in higher rated
categories.

         BBB - Bonds rated BBB are  regarded  as having an adequate  capacity to
pay principal and interest.  Whereas they normally exhibit  adequate  protection
parameters,  adverse  economic  conditions  or changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in
this category than for bonds in higher rated categories.

         BB, B, CCC, CC, C - Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are regarded,  on
balance,  as predominantly  speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates
the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation.  While
such bonds will likely have some quality and protective  characteristics,  these
are  outweighed  by large  uncertainties  or major  risk  exposures  to  adverse
conditions.

         CI - The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.

         D - Bonds  rated D are in  default,  and  payment  of  interest  and/or
repayment of principal is in arrears.

         Plus  (+) or Minus  (-) - The  ratings  above  may be  modified  by the
addition  of a plus or minus  sign to show  relative  standing  within the major
categories.

Moody's corporate bond ratings

         Aaa - Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.  They carry
the smallest  degree of investment  risk and are generally  referred to as "gilt
edge."  Interest  payments are protected by a large or an  exceptionally  stable
margin, and principal is secure.  Although the various  protective  elements are
likely to change, the changes that can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of the issuer.

         Aa - Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all  standards.
Together with the Aaa group,  they  comprise  what are generally  known as "high
grade  bonds."  They are rated  lower  than the best  bonds  because  margins of
protection  may not be as  large  as in  Aaa-rated  securities,  fluctuation  of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude,  or there may be other elements
present that make the long-term  risks appear  somewhat larger than in Aaa-rated
securities.

         A - Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment  attributes and are
to be considered as upper medium grade  obligations.  Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present that
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

         Baa -  Bonds  which  are  rated  Baa are  considered  as  medium  grade
obligations;  i.e.,  they are  neither  highly  protected  nor  poorly  secured.
Interest  payments and principal  security  appear  adequate for the present but
certain  protective  elements  may  be  lacking  or  may  be  characteristically
unreliable  over  any  great  length  of  time.  These  bonds  lack  outstanding
investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

         Ba - Bonds  rated Ba are  judged to have  speculative  elements;  their
future cannot be considered  as well assured.  Often the  protection of interest
and  principal  payments may be very  moderate and thereby not well  safeguarded
during  both  good  and bad  times  over the  future.  Uncertainty  of  position
characterizes bonds in this class.

         B - Bonds  rated B  generally  lack  characteristics  of the  desirable
investment.  Assurance of interest and principal  payments or of  maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period time may be small.

         Caa - Bonds  rated  Caa are of poor  standing.  Such  issues  may be in
default or there may be present  elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.

         Ca - Bonds rated Ca represent  obligations  that are  speculative  in a
high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

         C - Bonds rated C are the lowest  rated  class of bonds,  and issues so
rated can be regarded as having  extremely  poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

         Modifiers - Moody's may apply  numerical  modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each
generic rating classification described above. The modifier 1 indicates that the
security ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category;  the modifier 2
indicates  a mid-range  ranking;  and the  modifier 3 indicates  that the issuer
ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category.

S&P commercial paper ratings

         A-1 - This  highest  category  indicates  that  the  degree  of  safety
regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely
strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+).

Moody's commercial paper ratings

         Issuers rated Prime-1 (or related supporting institutions),  also known
as  P-1,  have a  superior  capacity  for  repayment  of  short-term  promissory
obligations.  Prime-1  repayment  capacity  will  normally be  evidenced  by the
following characteristics:

         -     Leading market positions in well-established industries;

         -     High rates of return on funds employed;

         -     Conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on 
               debt and ample asset protection;

         -     Broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges 
               and high internal cash generation; and

         -     Well-established access to a range of financial markets and 
               assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Item 24.   Persons Controlled By or Under Common Control with Registrant

         No person is controlled by or under common  control with the Registrant
(Registrant is organized in a master/feeder fund structure,  and technically may
be considered to control the master fund in which it invests,  Advisers Managers
Trust.)

Item 25.   Indemnification

         A Delaware  business trust may provide in its governing  instrument for
indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all claims
and demands  whatsoever.  Article IX, Section 2 of the Trust Instrument provides
that the  Registrant  shall  indemnify any present or former  trustee,  officer,
employee or agent of the  Registrant  ("Covered  Person") to the fullest  extent
permitted by law against liability and all expenses  reasonably incurred or paid
by him in connection with any claim,  action,  suit or proceeding  ("Action") in
which he  becomes  involved  as a party or  otherwise  by virtue of his being or
having  been a Covered  Person and  against  amounts  paid or incurred by him in
settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by
a court or other  body to be liable to the  Registrant  or its  shareholders  by
reason  of  "willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith,  gross  negligence  or  reckless
disregard  of the duties  involved  in the  conduct of his  office"  ("Disabling
Conduct"),  or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his
action was in the best interest of the Registrant. In the event of a settlement,
no  indemnification  may be provided unless there has been a determination  that
the officer or trustee did not engage in  Disabling  Conduct (i) by the court or
other  body  approving  the  settlement;  (ii) by at least a  majority  of those
trustees  who are  neither  interested  persons,  as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, of the Registrant ("Independent Trustees"),  nor
are parties to the matter  based upon a review of readily  available  facts;  or
(iii) by written  opinion of  independent  legal  counsel based upon a review of
readily available facts.

         Pursuant  to  Article  IX,  Section 3 of the Trust  Instrument,  if any
present or former  shareholder of any series  ("Series") of the Registrant shall
be held  personally  liable  solely by  reason  of his  being or  having  been a
shareholder  and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other  reason,
the present or former  shareholder (or his heirs,  executors,  administrators or
other legal representatives or in the case of any entity, its general successor)
shall be entitled  out of the assets  belonging to the  applicable  Series to be
held harmless  from and  indemnified  against all loss and expense  arising from
such liability.  The Registrant,  on behalf of the affected Series,  shall, upon
request by such  shareholder,  assume the defense of any claim made against such
shareholder  for any act or  obligation  of the Series and satisfy any  judgment
thereon from the assets of the Series.

         Section 9 of the Management  Agreement  between Advisers Managers Trust
and Neuberger Berman Management  Incorporated  ("NB  Management")  provides that
neither NB  Management  nor any  director,  officer or employee of NB Management
performing   services  for  any  Series  of  Advisers  Managers  Trust  (each  a
"Portfolio")  at the direction or request of NB Management in connection with NB
Management's  discharge of its  obligations  under the Agreement shall be liable
for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Series
in connection  with any matter to which the Agreement  relates;  provided,  that
nothing in the Agreement shall be construed (i) to protect NB Management against
any liability to Advisers  Managers Trust or a Series of Advisers Managers Trust
or its interest  holders to which NB  Management  would  otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance
of NB Management's duties, or by reason of NB Management's reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties under the Agreement, or (ii) to protect any director,
officer  or  employee  of NB  Management  who is or was a Trustee  or officer of
Advisers  Managers  Trust against any liability to Advisers  Managers Trust or a
Series or its interest  holders to which such person would  otherwise be subject
by reason of  willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence  or  reckless
disregard  of the duties  involved in the conduct of such  person's  office with
Advisers Managers Trust.

         Section 1 of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Advisers Managers Trust
and  Neuberger  Berman,  LLC  ("Sub-Adviser")  provides  that in the  absence of
willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or gross  negligence in the  performance of its
duties,  or of  reckless  disregard  of its  duties  and  obligations  under the
Agreement,  the  Sub-Adviser  will not be  subject to  liability  for any act or
omission or any loss  suffered by any Series of Advisers  Managers  Trust or its
interest holders in connection with the matters to which the Agreement relates.

         Section 9.1 of the Administration  Agreement between the Registrant and
NB Management  provides that NB Management  will not be liable to the Registrant
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by NB  Management  in good faith and
with due care in  accordance  with  such  instructions,  or with the  advice  or
opinion,  of legal counsel for a Portfolio of the Trust or for the Administrator
in  respect  of  any  matter  arising  in  connection  with  the  Administration
Agreement.   NB   Management   shall  be  protected  in  acting  upon  any  such
instructions,  advice or opinion and upon any other paper or document  delivered
by a Portfolio or such legal counsel which NB Management  believes to be genuine
and to have been signed by the proper person or persons, and NB Management shall
not be held to have notice of any change of status or  authority  of any officer
or representative of the Trust, until receipt of written notice thereof from the
Portfolio.  Section  12 of  the  Administration  Agreement  provides  that  each
Portfolio of the Registrant  shall  indemnify NB Management and hold it harmless
from and against any and all losses, damages and expenses,  including reasonable
attorneys'  fees and expenses,  incurred by NB Management  that result from: (i)
any claim,  action,  suit or proceeding in connection with NB Management's entry
into or performance of the Agreement with respect to such Portfolio; or (ii) any
action taken or omission to act committed by NB Management in the performance of
its obligations under the Agreement with respect to such Portfolio; or (iii) any
action of NB Management upon  instructions  believed in good faith by it to have
been executed by a duly authorized  officer or  representative of the Trust with
respect to such Portfolio;  provided, that NB Management will not be entitled to
such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting  negligence
or  misconduct  on the  part  of NB  Management,  or its  employees,  agents  or
contractors.  Amounts  payable by the Registrant  under this provision  shall be
payable solely out of assets  belonging to that  Portfolio,  and not from assets
belonging  to  any  other  Portfolio  of  the  Registrant.  Section  13  of  the
Administration  Agreement  provides  that  NB  Management  will  indemnify  each
Portfolio of the  Registrant  and hold it harmless  from and against any and all
losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
incurred  by  such  Portfolio  of  the  Registrant  that  result  from:  (i)  NB
Management's  failure  to  comply  with the terms of the  Agreement;  or (ii) NB
Management's  lack of  good  faith  in  performing  its  obligations  under  the
Agreement;  or (iii) the  negligence  or  misconduct  of NB  Management,  or its
employees,  agents or contractors in connection with the Agreement.  A Portfolio
of the Registrant  shall not be entitled to such  indemnification  in respect of
actions or omissions  constituting  negligence or misconduct on the part of that
Portfolio or its  employees,  agents or  contractors  other than NB  Management,
unless  such  negligence  or  misconduct  results  from  or  is  accompanied  by
negligence or misconduct on the part of NB Management,  any affiliated person of
NB  Management,  or  any  affiliated  person  of  an  affiliated  person  of  NB
Management.

         Section 11 of the Distribution  Agreement between the Registrant and NB
Management  provides  that NB  Management  shall  look  only to the  assets of a
Portfolio for the Registrant's performance of the Agreement by the Registrant on
behalf of such Portfolio,  and neither the Trustees nor any of the  Registrant's
officers,  employees  or agents,  whether  past,  present  or  future,  shall be
personally liable therefor.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 ("1933 Act") may be permitted to trustees,  officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission,  such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
Registrant  of expenses  incurred or paid by a trustee,  officer or  controlling
person of the  Registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is asserted by such trustee,  officer or  controlling  person,  the
Registrant  will,  unless in the  opinion  of its  counsel  the  matter has been
settled by controlling precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question  whether such  indemnification  by it is against  public  policy as
expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
