                         MANUFACTURERS INVESTMENT TRUST
                              SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT made this 30th day of April, 2000, between Manufacturers
Securities Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Adviser"),
and Janus Capital Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the "Subadviser"). In
consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as
follows:

1.       APPOINTMENT OF SUBADVISER

         The Adviser appoints and the Subadviser undertakes to act as investment
subadviser to, and, subject to the supervision of the Trustees of Manufacturers
Investment Trust (the "Trust") and the terms of this Agreement, to manage the
investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolios specified in
Appendix A to this Agreement as it shall be amended by the Adviser and the
Subadviser from time to time (the "Portfolios"). The Subadviser will be an
independent contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the
Trust or Adviser in any way except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or
another writing by the Trust and Adviser.

2.       SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY THE SUBADVISER TO THE TRUST

a.       Subject always to the direction and control of the Trustees of the
         Trust, the Subadviser will manage the investments and determine the
         composition of the assets of the Portfolios in accordance with the
         Portfolios' registration statement, as amended. In fulfilling its
         obligations to manage the investments and reinvestments of the assets
         of the Portfolios, the Subadviser will:

         i.       obtain and evaluate pertinent economic, statistical, financial
                  and other information affecting the economy generally and
                  individual companies or industries the securities of which are
                  included in the Portfolios or are under consideration for
                  inclusion in the Portfolios;

         ii.      formulate and implement a continuous investment program for
                  each Portfolio consistent with the investment objectives and
                  related investment policies for each such Portfolio as
                  described in the Trust's registration statement, as amended;

         iii.     take whatever steps are necessary to implement these
                  investment programs by the purchase and sale of securities
                  including the placing of orders for such purchases and sales;

         iv.      regularly report to the Trustees of the Trust with respect to
                  the implementation of these investment programs; and

         v.       provide assistance to the Trust's Custodian regarding the fair
                  value of securities held by the Portfolios for which market
                  quotations are not readily available, provided that Trust, and
                  not Subadviser, maintains ultimate responsibility for
                  valuation of securities.

b.       The Subadviser, at its expense, will furnish (i) all necessary
         investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel
         required for it to execute its duties faithfully, and (ii)
         administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel
         and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment
         affairs of the Portfolios (excluding determination of net asset value
         and shareholder accounting services).

c.       The Subadviser will select brokers and dealers to effect all
         transactions subject to the following conditions: The Subadviser will
         place all necessary orders with brokers, dealers, or issuers, and will
         negotiate brokerage commissions if applicable. The Subadviser is
         directed at all times to seek to execute brokerage transactions for the
         Portfolios in accordance with such policies or practices as may be
         established by the Trustees and described in the Trust's registration
         statement as amended. The Subadviser may pay a broker-dealer which
         provides research and brokerage services a higher spread or commission
         for a particular transaction than otherwise might have been charged by
         another broker-dealer, if the Subadviser determines that the higher
         spread or commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
         brokerage and research services that such broker-dealer provides,
         viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or the
         Subadviser's overall responsibilities with respect to accounts managed
         by the Subadviser. The Subadviser may use for the benefit of the
         Subadviser's other clients, or make available to companies affiliated
         with the
<PAGE>   3
         Subadviser or to its directors for the benefit of its clients, any such
         brokerage and research services that the Subadviser obtains from
         brokers or dealers.

d.       On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a
         security to be in the best interest of the Portfolio as well as other
         clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser to the extent permitted by
         applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation
         to, aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to
         obtain a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and
         efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so
         purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction,
         will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers
         to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations
         to the Portfolio and to its other clients.

e.       The Subadviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with
         respect to the Portfolios as are required of an investment adviser of a
         registered investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of
         1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and Investment Advisers Act of 1940
         (the "Investment Advisers Act") and the rules thereunder, provided that
         Subadviser shall not be responsible for maintaining the accounts, books
         and records of the Trust or the Portfolios, it being understood that
         the Subadviser is not responsible for providing portfolio accounting
         services.

f.       Subadviser shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of
         Schedules 13G and Forms 13F on behalf of the Portfolios. Subadviser
         shall not be responsible for the preparation or filing of any other
         reports required of the Portfolios by any governmental or regulatory
         agency, except as expressly agreed to in writing by the Subadviser
         which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.

g.       The Adviser shall vote proxies received in connection with securities
         held by the Portfolios unless such function is delegated in writing to
         the Subadviser.

h.       Except as noted below, Subadviser shall be responsible for monitoring
         compliance with all investment limitations and restrictions regarding
         the Portfolios, including those set forth in the Investment Company
         Act. Subadviser shall not be responsible, however, for monitoring
         compliance with any investment limitations in connection with the
         Portfolio's status as a registered investment company under the
         Internal Revenue Code or the Portfolio's compliance with Section 817(h)
         under the Internal Revenue Code. Subadviser shall also not be
         responsible for monitoring compliance with any investment limitation
         where such monitoring is subject to obtaining information regarding a
         Portfolio from either the Adviser or the custodian to the Trust and
         such information is not provided to the Subadviser after being
         requested by the Subadviser. Subadviser agrees that if the custodian
         fails to provide requested information to the Subadviser, then
         Subadviser shall promptly notify the Adviser.

i.       The Subadviser shall not be subject to the Code of Ethics of the Trust
         as long as its Code of Ethics complies with applicable regulatory
         requirements including Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and
         such Code of Ethics is approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust
         as required by the Investment Company Act.

3.       OBLIGATIONS OF ADVISER

a.       Adviser has provided to Subadviser the information and documents listed
         on the attached Appendix B. Throughout the term of this Agreement,
         Adviser shall continue to provide any amendments, updates or
         supplements to such information or documents in a timely manner.
         Adviser shall timely furnish Subadviser with such additional
         information as may be reasonably requested by Subadviser to perform its
         responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement.

b        Adviser shall provide Subadviser with such assistance in setting up and
         maintaining brokerage and other accounts as Subadviser may reasonably
         request to allow for the purchase or sale of various types of
         securities pursuant to this Agreement.

4.       CUSTODIAN

     The Portfolios' assets shall be maintained in the custody of the
Portfolio's custodian identified to Subadviser. Any assets added to a Portfolio
shall be delivered directly to such custodian. Subadviser shall have no
liability for
<PAGE>   4
the acts or omissions of any custodian of a Portfolio's assets. Subadviser shall
have no responsibility for the segregation requirements of the Investment
Company Act or other applicable law except in regards to designating which
securities shall be segregated to cover transactions requiring segregating of
assets.

5.       COMPENSATION OF SUBADVISER

         The Adviser will pay the Subadviser with respect to each Portfolio the
compensation specified in Appendix A to this Agreement.

6.       EXPENSES

     Adviser and the Portfolio shall assume and pay their respective
organizational, operational, and business expenses not specifically assumed or
agreed to be paid by Subadviser pursuant to this Agreement. Subadviser shall pay
its own organizational, operational, and business expenses but shall not be
obligated to pay any expenses of Adviser or the Portfolio, including without
limitation: (a) interest and taxes; (b) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other investment
instruments for the Portfolio; and (c) custodian fees and expenses. Any
reimbursement of management fees required by any expense limitation provision
shall be the sole responsibility of Adviser.

     Any liability arising out of a breach of duty pursuant to Section 36(b) of
the Investment Company Act due to an excessive advisory fee (but not subadvisory
fee) shall be the sole responsibility of the Adviser.

7.       LIABILITY OF SUBADVISER

         Neither the Subadviser nor any of its directors, officers or employees
shall be liable to the Adviser or the Trust for any error of judgment or mistake
of law or for any loss suffered by the Adviser or Trust in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates except for losses resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or from the
reckless disregard of, the duties of the Subadviser or any of its directors.

8.       CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         It is understood that trustees, officers, agents and shareholders of
the Trust are or may be interested in the Subadviser as trustees, officers,
partners or otherwise; that employees, agents and partners of the Subadviser are
or may be interested in the Trust as trustees, officers, shareholders or
otherwise; that the Subadviser may be interested in the Trust; and that the
existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity hereof or of
any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and
Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the Articles of Incorporation of the
Subadviser, respectively, or by specific provision of applicable law.
<PAGE>   5
9.       REGULATION

         The Subadviser shall submit to all regulatory and administrative bodies
having jurisdiction over the services provided pursuant to this Agreement any
information, reports or other material which any such body by reason of this
Agreement may request or require pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

10.      DURATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

         This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Portfolio on
the later of (i) its execution and (ii) the date of the meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Trust, at which meeting this Agreement is approved as described
below. The Agreement will continue in effect for a period more than two years
from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually either by the Trustees of the Trust or by a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of each of the Portfolios, provided that in
either event such continuance shall also be approved by the vote of a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the
Investment Company Act) of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any required
shareholder approval of the Agreement or of any continuance of the Agreement
shall be effective with respect to any Portfolio if a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the series (as defined in Rule 18f-2(h) under
the Investment Company Act) of shares of that Portfolio votes to approve the
Agreement or its continuance, notwithstanding that the Agreement or its
continuance may not have been approved by a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of (a) any other Portfolio affected by the Agreement or (b) all the
portfolios of the Trust.

         If any required shareholder approval of this Agreement or any
continuance of the Agreement is not obtained, the Subadviser will continue to
act as investment subadviser with respect to such Portfolio pending the required
approval of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract with the
Subadviser or a different adviser or subadviser or other definitive action;
provided, that the compensation received by the Subadviser in respect of such
Portfolio during such period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the
Investment Company Act, and provided that Adviser uses best efforts to obtain
prompt approval.

         This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of
any penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Trust, or with respect to any Portfolio by
the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio,
on sixty days' written notice to the Adviser and the Subadviser, or by the
Adviser or Subadviser on sixty days' written notice to the Trust and the other
party. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without the payment of any
penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company
Act) or in the event the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust
terminates for any reason.

11.      PROVISION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY SUBADVISER

         The Subadviser will promptly notify the Adviser in writing of the
occurrence of any of the following events:

a.       the Subadviser fails to be registered as an investment adviser under
         the Investment Advisers Act or under the laws of any jurisdiction in
         which the Subadviser is required to be registered as an investment
         adviser in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

b.       the Subadviser is served or otherwise receives notice of any action,
         suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before
         or by any court, public board or body, involving the affairs of the
         Trust; and

applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act. To the extent that the laws

no Trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be held
to any personal liability, nor shall resort be had to their private property,

Trust, or to the particular Portfolio with respect to which such obligation or
claim arose, shall be liable.

21.      CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

     Neither the Adviser nor any of its affiliates will, without the prior
written permission of the Subadviser, directly or indirectly, use, disclose, or
furnish, to any person or entity, any records or information concerning the
business of the Subadviser that have been explicitly marked "Confidential" by

under this Agreement or the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and
the Adviser, or as required by law upon prior written notice to Subadviser.

the Subadviser. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the
fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable
annual rate described in the preceding paragraph, and multiplying this product
by the net assets of the Portfolio as determined in accordance with the Trust's
prospectus and statement of additional information as of the close of business
on the previous business day on which the Trust was open for business.

such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as
the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

                         MANUFACTURERS INVESTMENT TRUST
                              SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT made this 30th day of April, 2000, between Manufacturers
Securities Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Adviser"),
and Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the
"Subadviser"). In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the
parties agree as follows:

1.       APPOINTMENT OF SUBADVISER

         The Subadviser undertakes to act as investment subadviser to, and,
subject to the supervision of the Trustees of Manufacturers Investment Trust
(the "Trust") and the terms of this Agreement, to manage the investment and
reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolio specified in Appendix A to this
Agreement as it shall be amended by the Adviser and the Subadviser from time to
time (the "Portfolio"). The Subadviser will be an independent contractor and
will have no authority to act for or represent the Trust or Adviser in any way
except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or another writing by the Trust
and Adviser.

2.       SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY THE SUBADVISER TO THE TRUST

a.       Subject always to the direction and control of the Trustees of the
         Trust, the Subadviser will manage the investments and determine the
         composition of the assets of the Portfolio in accordance with the
         Portfolio' registration statement, as amended. In fulfilling its
         obligations to manage the investments and reinvestments of the assets
         of the Portfolio, the Subadviser will:

         i.       obtain and evaluate pertinent economic, statistical, financial
                  and other information affecting the economy generally and
                  individual companies or industries the securities of which are
                  included in the Portfolio or are under consideration for
                  inclusion in the Portfolio;

         ii.      formulate and implement a continuous investment program for
                  each Portfolio consistent with the investment objectives and
                  related investment policies for each such Portfolio as
                  described in the Trust's registration statement, as amended;

         iii.     take whatever steps are necessary to implement these
                  investment programs by the purchase and sale of securities
                  including the placing of orders for such purchases and sales;

         iv.      regularly report to the Trustees of the Trust with respect to
                  the implementation of these investment programs; and

         v.       provide assistance to the Trust's Custodian regarding the fair
                  value of securities held by the Portfolio for which market
                  quotations are not readily available.

b.       The Subadviser, at its expense, will furnish (i) all necessary
         investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel
         required for it to execute its duties faithfully, and (ii)
         administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel
         and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment
         affairs of the Portfolio (excluding determination of net asset value
         and shareholder accounting services).

c.       The Subadviser will select brokers and dealers to effect all
         transactions subject to the following conditions: The Subadviser will
         place all necessary orders with brokers, dealers, or issuers, and will
         negotiate brokerage commissions if applicable. The Subadviser is
         directed at all times to seek to execute brokerage transactions for the
         Portfolio in accordance with such policies or practices as may be
         established by the Trustees and described in the Trust's registration
         statement as amended. The Subadviser may pay a broker-dealer which
         provides research and brokerage services a higher spread or commission
         for a particular transaction than otherwise might have been charged by
         another broker-dealer, if the Subadviser determines that the higher
         spread or commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
         brokerage and research services that such broker-dealer provides,
         viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or the
         Subadviser's overall responsibilities with respect to accounts managed
         by the Subadviser. The Subadviser may use for the benefit of the
         Subadviser's other clients, or make available to companies affiliated
         with the Subadviser or to its directors for the benefit of its clients,
         any such brokerage and research services that the Subadviser obtains
         from brokers or dealers.
<PAGE>   12
d.       On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a
         security to be in the best interest of the Portfolio as well as other
         clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser to the extent permitted by
         applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation
         to, aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to
         obtain a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and
         efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so
         purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction,
         will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers
         to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations
         to the Portfolio and to its other clients.

e.       The Subadviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with
         respect to actions by the Subadviser on behalf of the Portfolio as are
         required of an investment adviser of a registered investment company
         pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company
         Act") and Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Investment Advisers
         Act") and the rules thereunder.

f.       The Adviser hereby authorizes the Subadviser and any entity or person
         associated with the Subadviser which is a member of a national
         securities exchange to effect any transaction on such exchange for the
         account of the Portfolio, which transaction is permitted by Section
         11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
         Adviser hereby consents to the retention of compensation by the
         Subadviser or any person or entity associated with Subadviser. In no
         instance will the Subadviser use Mitchell Hutchins (or any affiliated
         person thereof) to effect securities transactions for the Portfolio
         except in accordance with the federal securities laws and the rules and
         regulations thereunder, or any applicable exemptive orders.

3.       COMPENSATION OF SUBADVISER

         The Adviser will pay the Subadviser with respect to each Portfolio the
compensation specified in Appendix A to this Agreement.

4.       LIABILITY OF SUBADVISER

         Neither the Subadviser nor any of its directors, officers or employees
shall be liable to the Adviser or the Trust for any error of judgment or mistake
of law or for any loss suffered by the Adviser or Trust in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates except for losses resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or from the
reckless disregard of, the duties of the Subadviser or any of its directors.

5.       CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         It is understood that trustees, officers, agents and shareholders of
the Trust are or may be interested in the Subadviser as trustees, officers,
partners or otherwise; that employees, agents and partners of the Subadviser are
or may be interested in the Trust as trustees, officers, shareholders or
otherwise; that the Subadviser may be interested in the Trust; and that the
existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity hereof or of
any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and
Declaration of Trust of the Trust and the Article of Incorporation of the
Subadviser, respectively, or by specific provision of applicable law.

6.       REGULATION

a.       The Subadviser shall submit to all regulatory and administrative bodies
         having jurisdiction over the services provided pursuant to this
         Agreement any information, reports or other material which any such
         body by reason of this Agreement may request or require pursuant to
         applicable laws and regulations.

b.       The Adviser agrees to provide to the Subadviser copies of the Trust's
         Agreement and Declaration of Trust, by-laws, registration statement,
         written instructions and directions of the Board of Trustees of the
         Trust and the Adviser, and any amendment or supplements to any of these
         materials as soon as practicable after such materials are available;
         and further agrees to identify to the Subadviser in writing any
         broker-dealers that are affiliated with the Adviser.

7.       DURATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

         This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Portfolio on
the later of (i) its execution and (ii) the date of the meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Trust, at which meeting this Agreement is approved as described
<PAGE>   13
below. The Agreement will continue in effect for a period more than two years
from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually either by the Trustees of the Trust or by a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of each of the Portfolio, provided that in
either event such continuance shall also be approved by the vote of a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the
Investment Company Act) of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any required
shareholder approval of the Agreement or of any continuance of the Agreement
shall be effective with respect to any Portfolio if a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the series (as defined in Rule 18f-2(h) under
the Investment Company Act) of shares of that Portfolio votes to approve the
Agreement or its continuance, notwithstanding that the Agreement or its
continuance may not have been approved by a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of (a) any other Portfolio affected by the Agreement or (b) all the
portfolios of the Trust.

         If any required shareholder approval of this Agreement or any
continuance of the Agreement is not obtained, the Subadviser will continue to
act as investment subadviser with respect to such Portfolio pending the required
approval of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract with the
Subadviser or a different adviser or subadviser or other definitive action;
provided, that the compensation received by the Subadviser in respect of such
Portfolio during such period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the
Investment Company Act.

         This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of
any penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Trust, or with respect to any Portfolio by
the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio,
on sixty days' written notice to the Adviser and the Subadviser, or by the
Adviser or Subadviser on sixty days' written notice to the Trust and the other
party. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without the payment of any
penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company
Act) or in the event the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust
terminates for any reason.

8.       PROVISION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY SUBADVISER

         The Subadviser will promptly notify the Adviser in writing of the
occurrence of any of the following events:

a.       the Subadviser fails to be registered as an investment adviser under
         the Investment Advisers Act or under the laws of any jurisdiction in
         which the Subadviser is required to be registered as an investment
         adviser in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

b.       the Subadviser is served or otherwise receives notice of any action,
         suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before
         or by any court, public board or body, involving the affairs of the
         Trust; and

c.       any change in actual control or management of the Subadviser or the
         portfolio manager of any Portfolio.

9.       SERVICES TO OTHER CLIENTS

         The Adviser understands, and has advised the Trust's Board of Trustees,
that the Subadviser now acts, or may in the future act, as an investment adviser
to fiduciary and other managed accounts and as investment adviser or subadviser
to other investment companies. Further, the Adviser understands, and has advised
the Trust's Board of Trustees that the Subadviser and its affiliates may give
advice and take action for its accounts, including investment companies, which
differs from advice given on the timing or nature of action taken for the
Portfolio. The Subadviser is not obligated to initiate transactions for a
Portfolio in any security which the Subadviser, its partners, affiliates or
employees may purchase or sell for their own accounts or other clients.

10.      AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT

         This Agreement may be amended by the parties only if such amendment is
specifically approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust and
by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested
persons of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on such approval. Any required shareholder approval shall
be effective with respect to any Portfolio if a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of that Portfolio vote to approve the amendment,
notwithstanding that the amendment may not have been approved by a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of (a) any other Portfolio affected by the
amendment or (b) all the portfolios of the Trust.

in law or in equity, the Agreement shall be construed, insofar as is possible,
as if such portion had never been contained herein.

15.      GOVERNING LAW

16.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

of which, together with all amendments thereto (the "Declaration"), is on file
in the office of the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides

of the Trust or any portfolio thereof, but only the assets belonging to the
Trust, or to the particular Portfolio with respect to which such obligation or
claim arose, shall be liable.

         v.       provide assistance to the Trust's Custodian regarding the fair
                  value of securities held by the Portfolios for which market
                  quotations are not readily available.

b.       The Subadviser, at its expense, will furnish (i) all necessary
         investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel
         required for it to execute its duties faithfully, and (ii)
         administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel
         and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment
         affairs of the Portfolios (excluding determination of net asset value
         and shareholder accounting services).

c.       The Subadviser will select brokers and dealers to effect all
         transactions subject to the following conditions: The Subadviser will
         place all necessary orders with brokers, dealers, or issuers, and will
         negotiate brokerage commissions if applicable. The Subadviser is
         directed at all times to seek to execute brokerage transactions for the
         Portfolios in accordance with such policies or practices as may be
         established by the Trustees and described in the Trust's registration
         statement as amended. The Subadviser may pay a broker-dealer which
         provides research and brokerage services a higher spread or commission
         for a particular transaction than otherwise might have been charged by
         another broker-dealer, if the Subadviser determines that the higher
         spread or commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
         brokerage and research services that such broker-dealer provides,
         viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or the
         Subadviser's overall responsibilities with respect to accounts managed
         by the Subadviser. The Subadviser may use for the benefit of the
         Subadviser's other clients, or make available to companies affiliated
         with the Subadviser or to its directors for the benefit of its clients,
         any such brokerage and research services that the Subadviser obtains
         from brokers or dealers.
<PAGE>   18
d.       On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a
         security to be in the best interest of the Portfolio as well as other
         clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser to the extent permitted by
         applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation
         to, aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to
         obtain a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and
         efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so
         purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction,
         will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers
         to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations
         to the Portfolio and to its other clients.

e.       The Subadviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with
         respect to the Portfolios as are required of an investment adviser of a
         registered investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of
         1940 (the "Investment Company Act") and Investment Advisers Act of 1940
         (the "Investment Advisers Act") and the rules thereunder.

         required to take any action or render any advice, with respect to the
         voting of portfolio securities.

of law or for any loss suffered by the Adviser or Trust in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates except for losses resulting from willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or from the
reckless disregard of, the duties of the Subadviser or any of its directors.

either event such continuance shall also be approved by the vote of a majority
of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the
Investment Company Act) of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any required

act as investment subadviser with respect to such Portfolio pending the required
approval of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract with the
Subadviser or a different adviser or subadviser or other definitive action;
provided, that the compensation received by the Subadviser in respect of such
Portfolio during such period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the

         adviser in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

b.       the Subadviser is served or otherwise receives notice of any action,
         suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before

         The Subadviser shall serve as investment subadviser for the following
portfolio of the Trust. The Adviser will pay the Subadviser, as full
compensation for all services provided under this Agreement, the fee computed
separately for each such Portfolio at an annual rate as follows (the "Subadviser

<TABLE>

</TABLE>



         The Subadviser Percentage Fee for each Portfolio shall be accrued for
each calendar day and the sum of the daily fee accruals shall be paid monthly to
the Subadviser. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the
fraction of one over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable
annual rate described in the preceding paragraph, and multiplying this product
by the net assets of the Portfolio as determined in accordance with the Trust's
prospectus and statement of additional information as of the close of business
on the previous business day on which the Trust was open for business.

         If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any
month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of
such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as
the case may be, shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

employees may purchase or sell for their own accounts or other clients.

persons of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for

notwithstanding that the amendment may not have been approved by a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of (a) any other Portfolio affected by the
amendment or (b) all the portfolios of the Trust.

bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

                         MANUFACTURERS INVESTMENT TRUST
                        SUBADVISORY CONSULTING AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT made this 1st day of May 2000, between Manufacturers Adviser
Corporation, a Colorado Corporation (the "Subadviser"), and State Street Global
Advisors, a division of State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts
trust company ("SSgA"). In consideration of the mutual covenants contained
herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.       APPOINTMENT OF SSGA

         SSgA undertakes to provide the services described in Section 2 below in
connection with the Subadviser's management of the Lifestyle Aggressive 1000
Trust, the Lifestyle Growth 820 Trust, the Lifestyle Balanced 640 Trust, the
Lifestyle Moderate 460 Trust, and the Lifestyle Conservative 280 Trust
(collectively, the "Lifestyle Trusts"), subject to the supervision of the
Trustees of Manufacturers Investment Trust (the "Trust") and the adviser to the
Trust, Manufacturers Securities Services, LLC (the "Adviser"). SSgA will be an
independent contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the
Trust or Subadviser in any way except as expressly authorized in this Agreement
or another writing by the Trust and Subadviser.

         SSgA represents that it is a "bank" as such term is defined in the
Investment Advisers Act and, therefore, is not required to be registered under
the Investment Advisers Act.

2.       SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SSGA

a.       SSgA will provide the Subadviser the following information and services
         as may be requested by the Subadviser from time to time:

         i.       SSgA will, using SSgA's "Statistical Process Control
                  Methodology" and the resources provided by its Office of the
                  Fiduciary Adviser:

                  -        track the performance of each of the investment
                           portfolios in which the Lifestyle Trusts invest (the
                           "nonLifestyle Trust portfolios") on an ongoing basis
                           and identify changes in returns of these portfolios;
                  -        compare performance of the nonLifestyle Trust
                           portfolios to the performance of comparable
                           portfolios;
                  -        calculate the probability that the subadvisers to the
                           nonLifestyle Trust portfolios will outperform their
                           performance benchmarks;

         ii.      SSgA will provide computer models, including its Growth Value
                  Rotation Model, and statistical information to assist the
                  Subadviser in making asset allocation determinations for the
                  Lifestyle Trusts. SSgA will also, if requested by the
                  Subadviser, make such asset allocation determinations.

b.       SSgA, at its expense, will furnish all necessary (i) investment and
         management facilities, including salaries of personnel required for it
         to execute its duties faithfully under this Agreement, and (ii)
         administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel
         and equipment necessary to execute its obligations under this
         Agreement.

3.       COMPENSATION OF SSGA

         The Subadviser will pay SSgA with respect to each Lifestyle Trust the
compensation specified in Appendix A to this Agreement.
<PAGE>   31
4.       LIABILITY OF SSGA

         Neither SSgA nor any of its directors, officers or employees shall be
liable to the Adviser, the Subadviser or the Trust for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Adviser, the Subadviser or the
Trust in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates except for
losses resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of, or from the reckless disregard of, the duties of SSgA or any of
its directors.

5.       CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         It is understood that trustees, officers, agents and shareholders of
the Trust are or may be interested in SSgA as trustees, officers, partners or
otherwise; that employees, agents and partners of SSgA are or may be interested
in the Trust as trustees, officers, shareholders or otherwise; that SSgA may be
interested in the Trust; and that the existence of any such dual interest shall
not affect the validity hereof or of any transactions hereunder except as
otherwise provided in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust and
the partnership agreement of SSgA, respectively, or by specific provision of
applicable law.

6.       REGULATION

         SSgA shall submit to all regulatory and administrative bodies having
jurisdiction over the services provided pursuant to this Agreement any
information, reports or other material which any such body by reason of this
Agreement may request or require pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.

7.       DURATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

         This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Lifestyle
Trust on the later of:

(i)       its execution,
(ii)      the date of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, at
          which meeting this Agreement is approved as described below,
(iii)     the date of the meeting of the shareholders of the Lifestyle Trust at
          which meeting this Agreement is approved by the vote of a majority of
          the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Investment
          Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act")) of the shareholders of
          the Lifestyle Trust,
(iv)      disclosure of the terms of this Agreement with respect to the
          Lifestyle Trust in the prospectus of Manufacturers Investment Trust,
          and
(v)       May 1, 2000.

         The Agreement will continue in effect for a period more than two years
from the date of its execution with respect to each Lifestyle Trust only so long
as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually either (i) by the
Trustees of the Trust or (ii) by a majority of the outstanding voting securities
of the Lifestyle Trusts, provided that in either event such continuance shall
also be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are
not interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of any party
to this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on such approval.

         Any required shareholder approval of the Agreement, or of any
continuance of the Agreement, shall be effective with respect to any Lifestyle
Trust if a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the series (as
defined in Rule 18f-2(h) under the Investment Company Act) of shares of that
Lifestyle Trust votes to approve the Agreement or its continuance,
notwithstanding that the Agreement or its continuance may not have been approved
by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of (a) any other Lifestyle
Trust affected by the Agreement or (b) all the Lifestyle Trusts.

         If any required shareholder approval of this Agreement or any
continuance of the Agreement is not obtained, SSgA will continue to provide the
services described herein with respect to the affected Lifestyle Trust pending
the required approval of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract
with SSgA or a different adviser or other definitive action; provided, that the
compensation received by SSgA in respect of such Lifestyle Trust during such
period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act.

         This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of
any penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Trust, or with respect to any Lifestyle
Trust
<PAGE>   32
by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such
portfolio, on sixty days' written notice to the Subadviser and SSgA, or by the
Subadviser or SSgA on sixty days' written notice to the Trust and the other
party. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without the payment of any
penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company
Act), in the event the Subadvisory Agreement between the Subadviser and the
Adviser terminates for any reason with respect to the Lifestyle Trusts or in the
event the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust terminates for
any reason with respect to the Lifestyle Trusts.

8.       PROVISION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY SSGA

         SSgA will promptly notify the Adviser and the Subadviser in writing of
the occurrence of any of the following events:

a.       SSgA fails to be a "bank" as such term is defined under the Investment
         Advisers Act;

b.       SSgA is served or otherwise receives notice of any action, suit,
         proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before or by
         any court, public board or body, involving the affairs of the Trust;
         and

c.       any change in control of SSgA within the meaning of the Investment
         Company Act.

9.       SERVICES TO OTHER CLIENTS

         The Subadviser understands, and has advised the Trust's Board of
Trustees, that SSgA now acts, or may in the future act, as an investment adviser
to fiduciary and other managed accounts and as investment adviser or subadviser
to other investment companies. Further, the Subadviser understands, and has
advised the Trust's Board of Trustees that SSgA and its affiliates may give
advice and take action for its accounts, including investment companies, which
differs from advice given on the timing or nature of action taken for the
Lifestyle Trusts. SSgA is not obligated to initiate transactions for a Lifestyle
Trust in any security which SSgA, its partners, affiliates or employees may
purchase or sell for their own accounts or other clients.

10.      AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT

         This Agreement may be amended by the parties only if such amendment is
specifically approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust and
by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested
persons of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for

outstanding voting securities of that Lifestyle Trust vote to approve the
amendment, notwithstanding that the amendment may not have been approved by a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of (a) any other Lifestyle Trust
affected by the amendment or (b) all the Lifestyle Trusts of the Trust.

given on the date delivered or mailed in accordance with this paragraph.

14.      SEVERABILITY

         Should any portion of this Agreement for any reason be held to be void
in law or in equity, the Agreement shall be construed, insofar as is possible,
as if such portion had never been contained herein.

15.      GOVERNING LAW

         The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any of the
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act. To the extent that the laws
of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any of the provisions in this
Agreement, conflict with applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act,

16.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

         The Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 28, 1988, a copy
of which, together with all amendments thereto (the "Declaration"), is on file

mentioned above.

</TABLE>


         The subadvisory consulting fee for each Lifestyle Trust is accrued for
each calendar day and the sum of the daily fee accruals will be paid monthly to
SSgA. The daily fee accruals will be computed by multiplying the fraction of one
over the number of calendar days in the year by the applicable annual rate
described in the preceding paragraph, and multiplying this product by the net
assets of the applicable Lifestyle Trust as determined in accordance with the
Trust's prospectus and statement of additional information as of the close of
business on the previous business day on which the Trust was open for business.

         If this Agreement becomes effective or terminates before the end of any
month, the fee (if any) for the period from the effective date to the end of
such month or from the beginning of such month to the date of termination, as
the case may be, will be prorated according to the proportion which such period
bears to the full month in which such effectiveness or termination occurs.

Dear Matt,

         Pursuant to Section 2.d.ii. of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated January 1, 1996, as amended and restated May 1, 1999, between
Manufacturers Investment Trust (the "Trust") and Manufacturers Securities

effective May 1, 2000 the expense reimbursement for each of the Lifestyle
Trusts set forth in Section 2.d.ii. of the Agreement is terminated and replaced
with the following expense reimbursement.

         If total expenses of a Lifestyle Trust (absent reimbursement) exceed
 .075%, the Adviser will reimburse expenses of the Lifestyle Trust (or reduce the
advisory fee for the Lifestyle Trust) by an amount such that the total expenses
of the Lifestyle Trust, including the advisory fee but excluding: (a) the
expenses of the underlying portfolios, (b) taxes, (c) portfolio brokerage
commissions, (d) interest, (e) litigation and (f) indemnification expenses and
other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Trust's
business, equal .075%. If the total expenses of a Lifestyle Trust (absent
reimbursement) are equal to or less then .075% then no expenses will be
reimbursed by the Adviser.

         The Adviser, continues, to reserve the right to eliminate the entire
expense reimbursement (or any part thereof) at any time upon notice to the
Trust.
