LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS                             ACM MANAGED INCOME FUND, INC.

April 11, 1995
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
The past few months can be divided into two distinct periods. From September 
through December, the U.S. bond markets continued to be negatively affected 
by higher interest rates. Though the impact of stricter monetary policy was 
less dramatic in the last four months of 1994 than earlier in the year, 
prices for most domestic fixed income sectors continued to suffer during this 
period. Moreover, high yield securities, which are generally less sensitive 
to changes in interest rates than other fixed income securities, also 
declined. Beginning in January, however, the bond markets rebounded, staging 
an impressive rally across nearly all domestic fixed income sectors. This 
recent rally was sparked, in part, by the belief of many market participants 
that the Federal Reserve may be at, or near, the end of its tightening cycle.
 
ACM Managed Income Fund benefited from the recent bond market gains. In 
particular, the Fund's Treasury and mortgage holdings performed very well. 
However, these gains have not been enough to offset earlier price declines. 
For the six months ended February 28, 1995, ACM Managed Income Fund had a 
total return of -0.22% based on the net asset value, and paid dividends 
totaling $0.54 per share, or $0.09 per month. This represents a dividend 
distribution rate of 13.71% based on the February 28 market price of $7.875. 
From inception in November of 1988 through February 28, 1995, your Fund has 
achieved an average annual total return of +10.99% based on the net asset value.
 
A SOFT LANDING FOR THE ECONOMY?
 
By increasing short-term interest rates, the Federal Reserve is attempting to 
slow gross domestic product (GDP) growth to 2.5% or lower, which should 
provide the foundation for continued favorable inflation performance. Indeed, 
while the U.S. economy continued its impressive expansion in the second half 
of 1994, initial signs of a slowdown have begun to appear. Recently released 
U.S. economic data have shown smaller than expected rises in retail sales and 
manufacturing output with continued weakness in the automobile and housing 
sectors. However, the U.S. economy remains fundamentally strong and despite 
recent signs of moderation, the economy should continue to expand in 1995, 
albeit at a slower pace. Supporting U.S. economic growth will likely be
continued high levels of consumer (excluding automobiles and housing) and
business spending. Real gains in personal income, strong corporate earnings and
easier access to credit are expected to keep aggregate U.S. consumption at solid
levels in the months ahead.
 
While an increase in overall price levels is expected this year, the 
inflation outlook appears generally favorable. Broad price indices such as 
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) have shown few 
signs of acceleration and labor costs remain under control. However, with the 
U.S. economy believed to be at or near full capacity utilization, concern 
regarding inflation is still warranted. Commodity prices and core 
intermediate goods in the PPI have risen sharply over the past 12 months and 
recent economic data indicate an increase in service sector prices. If the 
economy slows, the upward pressure on prices should ease somewhat due to less 
demand for resources. If the economy reaccelerates in the second half of 
1995, then concern over inflation would likely lead to additional interest 
rate increases by the Federal Reserve. 
 
BOND MARKET OUTLOOK
 
We have revised our investment outlook to reflect the growing evidence that 
higher interest rates have begun to slow the U.S. economy, reducing the 
likelihood of significant short-term interest rate increases by the Federal 
Reserve. We believe the
 
                                                                               1

economic expansion should continue throughout 1995 with GDP moderating to 2.5%
for the year. While inflation momentum may be building, it is our view that
prices will not spiral ahead dramatically. We expect CPI inflation to crest
around 3.5% in the second half of 1995. If inflation or inflationary
expectations exceed 3.5%, we expect the Federal Reserve to raise the Federal
Funds rate an additional 50 basis points, to 6.50%, by midsummer.
 
Thirty-year Treasury yields have fallen from a high of 8.16% in 1994 to 7.39% 
at the time of this writing. These yields suggest that market participants 
expect a "soft landing" for the U.S. economy with limited additional 
tightening by the Federal Reserve. While several factors could cause yields 
to rise (and therefore prices to decline), support at these levels is 
expected to remain firm over the near term. Investors' "flight to quality" 
that has resulted from problems in Mexico, combined with other favorable 
technical factors, are expected to keep investor demand for Treasurys high 
for the remainder of the year.
 
Similarly, strong investor confidence and a favorable U.S. economic outlook 
have fueled demand for corporate and high yield securities. New corporate 
issuance is expected to remain modest over the near term due to lower debt 
restructuring activity and improved access to alternate means of financing. 
The relative lack of corporate and high yield supply should support current 
price levels over the next several months.
 
We appreciate your investment in ACM Managed Income Fund and look forward to 
reporting its progress to you in the coming period.
 
Sincerely,

Portfolio securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the
last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no
sale on such day, the last bid price quoted on such day. Listed securities not
traded and securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed
debt securities whose primary market is believed to be over-the-counter, are
valued at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked price provided
by the principal market makers. Options are valued at market value or fair value
using methods determined by the Board of Directors. Securities for which market
quotations are not readily available and restricted securities which are subject
to limitations as to their resale are valued in good faith at fair value using
methods determined by the Board of Directors. Readily marketable fixed-income
securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when
such prices are believed by the Adviser to reflect the fair value of such
securities. Securities which mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost, which approximates market value, unless this method does not represent
fair value.
  
2. TAXES
 
It is the Fund's policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its 
investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, to 
shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes are 
required.
 
3. INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
 
Interest income is accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are
purchased or sold. Security gains and losses are determined on the identified
cost basis. The Fund accretes discounts as adjustments to interest income.
 
4. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend 
date. Income dividends and capital gains distributions are determined in 
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally 
accepted accounting principles.

(a)  Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock 
     on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day
     of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed
     for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under
     the Fund's dividend reinvestment plan. Generally, total investment return
     based on net asset value will be higher than total investment return based
     on market value in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a
     decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the
     beginning to the end of such period. Conversely, total investment return
     based on net asset value will be lower than total investment return based
     on market value in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an
     increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the
     beginning to the end of such periods.

(b)  Annualized.

(c)  The expense ratio and net investment income ratio do not reflect the 
     effect of dividend payments to preferred shareholders.
