PORTFOLIO MANAGER'S COMMENTARY

          Socially Responsive Portfolio
   JANET PRINDLE, PORTFOLIO MANAGER
   As any child will tell you, bubbles look wonderful when they are floating
high in the air. But as any parent will tell you, they tend to make a mess when
they burst and fall to the ground.
   That's essentially what happened in the U.S. stock market during the first
half of 2000. The "speculative bubble" -- Wall Street lingo for unreasonably
high stock prices created by investor enthusiasm--that had driven technology
stocks to virtually unprecedented prices finally burst in mid-March. As a
result, many previously high-flying growth stocks came crashing down to earth.
   In this volatile environment, Neuberger Berman AMT Socially Responsive
provided modestly lower returns than its benchmark, the Russell
1000-Registered Trademark- Value Index. During the first six months of 2000, the
Russell 1000 Value Index fell 4.23% while your Portfolio fell 4.69%.(1) The S&P
500 Index, meanwhile, fell -0.43%.(2) I attribute our relative underperformance
to the effects of rising interest rates on some of the Portfolio's holdings,
especially communications services and consumer cyclical stocks (11.0% and 5.9%
of total equity market value, respectively, as of June 30, 2000).
   When the new year began, value-oriented stocks were out of favor, as they had
been for most of 1999. Investors continued to prefer fast-growing technology
stocks, including some Internet-related businesses with no current earnings. In
contrast, many well-established companies with strong business fundamentals were
neglected as investors remained infatuated with younger, faster growing
companies in the so-called "new economy."
   In mid-March, however, when it became apparent that the U.S. economy was
growing too fast, the technology bubble burst. Growth investors who had
previously disregarded rising interest rates suddenly became concerned that
unsustainable economic growth might reignite long-dormant inflationary
pressures. Some investors shifted their attention to long-neglected value
stocks, especially those with track records of consistent and predictable
earnings.
   In this environment, the Portfolio enjoyed good performance from holdings
representing a number of different sectors, including utilities, energy and
capital goods (5.3%, 11.5% and 7.1%, of total equity market value,
respectively). In the utilities area, we emphasized natural gas distributors
such as Keyspan (2.8% of net assets), formerly a Long Island, New York electric
utility, which benefited from rising commodities prices. The same is true of
many of our energy-related businesses, which experienced higher revenues and
earnings as crude oil prices rose. We emphasized oil services companies within
the energy sector, including exploration and drilling firms that were among the
primary beneficiaries of higher oil prices.
   In the technology sector, (16.9% of total equity market value), our focus on
well established, profitable, reasonably valued businesses helped cushion the
Portfolio from the brunt of the mid-Spring correction. Holdings such as Intel
(4.5% of net assets) benefited from rising demand for semiconductors at a time
when little new manufacturing capacity had been added.
   On the other hand, consumer cyclical stocks (5.9% of total equity market
value) such as retailers generally declined during the reporting period because
of concerns that higher interest rates might curtail consumer spending. The
communications services sector (11.0% of total equity market value) also
declined amid profit taking, concerns about high valuations and disappointing
lackluster earnings from traditional long-distance telephone service providers.
   Once we first determined that they were attractive investments, we also
emphasized companies that, in our opinion, were among the most socially
responsive in the United States. For example, we added to our position in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Socially Responsive Portfolio
Bristol-Myers Squibb (2.7% of net assets), a pharmaceutical company with one of
the best environmental management programs in its industry. Bristol-Myers Squibb
is dedicated to reducing emissions, minimizing waste, and preserving
bio-diversity. Similarly, we established a new position in Minnesota, Mining &
Manufacturing (2.6% of net assets), which is known for its innovative workplace
environment and its exceptional commitment to environmental performance and
improvement.
   Looking forward, I am cautiously optimistic regarding the stock market and
the Portfolio. Over the near term, I am cautious because of continuing economic
uncertainty. If higher interest rates lead to a "soft landing" for the U.S.
economy -- in which growth slows without triggering a recession --
value-oriented stocks should benefit. But if a "hard landing" leads to
recession, stock prices may suffer.
   Over the longer term, however, I am quite optimistic that the stock market's
prospects remain bright. I believe that investors are now placing more
importance on valuation measures when making investment decisions. In fact, I
believe that now that most of the market's speculative bubbles have burst, I am
finding more good values among some of the market's most fundamentally sound and
socially responsive companies.
   Finally, I would like to thank you for your confidence and support, and your
continued participation in Neuberger Berman AMT Socially Responsive Portfolio.

Sincerely,

/s/ Janet Prindle

(1)-4.36% and 7.21% were the total returns for the 1-year and since inception
   (2/18/99) periods ended June 30, 2000. It may be easier to achieve higher
   returns in a small fund than in a larger fund. Neuberger Berman Management
   Inc. ("NBMI") has agreed to absorb certain expenses of the AMT Portfolios.
   Without this arrangement, which is subject to change, the total returns of
   the Portfolios would be less. Total return includes reinvestment of dividends
   and distributions. Performance data quoted represents past performance and
   the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so
   that the shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost.
   The performance information does not reflect fees and expenses charged under
   the variable insurance contracts.

(2)The S&P 500 Index is widely regarded as the standard for measuring large-cap
   U.S. stock market performance and includes a representative sample of leading
   companies in leading industries. The Russell 2000-Registered Trademark- Index
   is an unmanaged index consisting of the securities of the 2,000 issuers
   having the smallest capitalization the Russell 3000-Registered Trademark-
   Index, representing approximately 8% of the Russell 3000 total market
   capitalization. Please note that indices do not take into account any fees
   and expenses of investing in the individual securities that they track, and
   that individuals cannot invest directly in any index. Data about the
   performance of this index are prepared or obtained by NBMI and include
   reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. The Portfolio
   may invest in many securities not included in the above-described index.

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

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

          Socially Responsive Portfolio
1) Investment securities of the Fund are valued at the latest sales price;
   securities for which no sales were reported, unless otherwise noted, are
   valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. The Fund values
   all other securities by a method the trustees of the Trust believe accurately
   reflects fair value. Foreign security prices are furnished by independent
   quotation services expressed in local currency values. Foreign security
   prices are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current
   exchange rates. Short-term debt securities with less than 60 days until
   maturity may be valued at cost which, when combined with interest earned,
   approximates market value.
2) At June 30, 2000, the cost of investments for U.S. Federal income tax
   purposes was $1,404,012. Gross unrealized appreciation of investments was
   $219,927 and gross unrealized depreciation of investments was $63,273,
   resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $156,654, based on cost for U.S.
   Federal income tax purposes.

Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust             June 30, 2000 (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Socially Responsive Portfolio

NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1) GENERAL: Socially Responsive Portfolio (the "Fund") is a separate operating
   series of Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust (the "Trust"), a
   Delaware business trust organized pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated
   May 23, 1994. The Trust is currently comprised of eight separate operating
   series (the "Funds"). The Trust is registered as a diversified, open-end
   management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
   amended, and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
   amended. The trustees of the Trust may establish additional series or classes
   of shares without the approval of shareholders.
      The assets of each fund belong only to that fund, and the liabilities of
   each fund are borne solely by that fund and no other.
      Prior to May 1, 2000, the Fund was part of a master/feeder structure,
   investing all of its net investable assets in AMT Socially Responsive
   Investments, a series of Advisers Managers Trust. Effective May 1, 2000, the
   Fund converted to a conventional fund structure. The Fund redeemed its
   investment in AMT Socially Responsive Investments in return for delivery of
   the portfolio securities, at current net asset value, subject to the
   liabilities of AMT Socially Responsive Investments.
2) PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the
   notes following the Schedule of Investments.
3) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
   recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the
   ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as the Fund
   becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend
   income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
   received. Interest income, including accretion of original issue discount,
   where applicable, and accretion of discount on short-term investments, is
   recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities
   transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
4) TAXES: The Funds are treated as separate entities for U.S. Federal income tax
   purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated
   investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain
   investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal
   Revenue Code, and to make distributions of investment company taxable income
   and net capital gains (after reduction for any amounts available for U.S.
   Federal income tax purposes as capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to
   relieve it from all, or substantially all, U.S. Federal income taxes.
   Accordingly, the Fund paid no U.S. Federal income taxes and no provision for
   U.S. Federal income taxes was required.
5) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Income dividends and
   distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally
   distributed in February. Income dividends and capital gain distributions to
   shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. To the extent the Fund's
   net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss
   carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains.

   reporting basis and only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and

   in the recognition or classification of income between the financial
   statements and tax earnings and profits which result in temporary
   over-distributions for financial statement purposes are classified as
   distributions in excess of net investment income or accumulated net realized
   gains.
6) EXPENSE ALLOCATION: Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to
   that fund. Expenses not directly attributed to a fund are allocated, on the
   basis of relative net assets, to each of the Funds.
7) SECURITY LENDING: Securities loans involve certain risks in the event a
   borrower should fail financially, including delays or inability to recover
   the lent securities or foreclose against the collateral. The investment
   manager, under the general supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees,
   monitors the creditworthiness of the parties to whom the Fund makes security
   loans. The Fund will not lend securities on which covered call options have
   been written, or lend securities on terms which would prevent investors from
   qualifying as a regulated investment company. The Fund entered into a
   Securities Lending Agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
   ("Morgan"). The Fund receives cash collateral equal to at least 100% of the
   current market value of the loaned securities. The Fund invests the cash
   collateral in the N&B Securities Lending Quality Fund, LLC ("investment
   vehicle"), which is managed by State Street Bank and Trust Company pursuant
   to guidelines approved by the Trust's investment manager. Income earned on
   the investment vehicle is paid to Morgan monthly. The Fund receives a fee,
   payable monthly, negotiated by the Fund and Morgan, based on the number and
   duration of the lending transactions. At June 30, 2000, the Fund had no
   securities on loan to Morgan.
8) FOREIGN TAXES: Foreign taxes withheld represent amounts withheld by foreign
   tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.

          OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:

0.45% of the next $500 million, and 0.425% of average daily net assets in excess
of $1.5 billion.

Agreement ("Agreement"). Pursuant to this Agreement the Fund pays Management an
administration fee at the annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund's average daily net
assets.
   Effective May 1, 1995, the trustees of the Trust adopted a non-fee
distribution plan for each series of the Trust.

the Fund for its operating expenses (including the fees payable to Management,

1) The per share amounts and ratios which are shown reflect income and expenses,
   including the Fund's proportionate share of AMT Socially Responsive
   Investment's income and expenses under the prior master/feeder fund
   structure.
2) The per share amounts which are shown have been computed based on the average
   number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.
3) The date investment operations commenced.
4) Total return based on per share net asset value reflects the effects of
   changes in net asset value on the performance of the Fund during each fiscal
   period and assumes dividends and other distributions, if any, were
   reinvested. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future
   results. Investment returns and principal may fluctuate and shares when
   redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. The total return
   information shown does not reflect charges and other expenses that apply to
   the separate account or the related insurance policies, and the inclusion of
   these charges and other expenses would reduce the total return for all fiscal
   periods shown.
5) Not annualized.
6) The Fund is required to calculate an expense ratio without taking into
   consideration any expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements.
7) Annualized.
