LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
June 2004




Dennis H. Ferro
President and Chief
Executive Officer
 

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide the semiannual report for the Evergreen Managed Income Fund, which covers the six-month period ended April 30, 2004.

Diversification once again played an important role for investors over the past six months. As the tug of war continued between solid fundamentals and geopolitical uncertainties, those portfolios properly allocated for one's long-term goals managed to participate in market gains while limiting the damage during periods of market weakness. Indeed, those investors exposed to domestic and international equities, commodities, and specific sector funds were able to balance the conflicting signals often sent by reports of growth in GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and profits versus many disturbing geopolitical developments.

Equity markets continued to benefit from the powerful combination of growth in GDP and profits throughout the investment period. Stimulative monetary and fiscal policies enabled the economic expansion to broaden from the consumer to U.S. businesses, and the major cost cutting initiatives enacted over the past two years resulted in dramatic improvements in operating leverage, driving corporate earnings higher. In addition to these domestic catalysts, investors in many international markets enjoyed the benefits of renewed growth, particularly in Asia, while the strengthening euro provided investors with encouragement about prospects for improved growth in Europe.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS continued


After emerging relatively unscathed from the volatile U.S. interest rate environment during the third quarter last year, equity investors entered the investment period with plenty of reasons to remain optimistic. Economic growth was accelerating, assisted by several forces propelling demand higher. First, the child tax credit refund checks distributed last summer resulted in significant gains in personal consumption. Second, the deflation concerns previously uttered by the Fed led to a new round of mortgage refinancing activity, which provided consumers with another infusion of cash. Finally, the new tax laws gave U.S. businesses increased incentives to invest, and spending on equipment and software surged.

As a result of these catalysts, economic growth in the U.S. exceeded 5% during the investment period. Higher demand led to more sales for U.S. businesses, and the massive cost cutting previously undertaken by corporations led to significantly larger than expected margin expansion, which propelled earnings higher. These gains in demand were not limited to the U.S. shores. Rapid economic expansion throughout Asia, led by surging demand from China, led to better than forecast gains in international economic growth. In addition, the recent expansion of the Euro-zone, coupled with more market friendly comments from European monetary policymakers, suggest the year to date weakness in many bourses on the continent may be overdone.

Record levels of productivity growth and major increases in capital investment provided a lift to many sector specific investment strategies. Attractive relative valuations boosted many healthcare stocks, and the

surge in business spending on equipment and software provided the technology sector with solid growth in sales and profits. The growing international demand led to gains in many commodity and precious metal investments, while the improving trend for yield increased the attractiveness within the utilities and telecommunications sectors.

As always, we recommend that investors maintain a proper diversification within their portfolios in order to achieve their long-term investment goals.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (unaudited)


1. ORGANIZATION

Evergreen Managed Income Fund (the "Fund") was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on April 10, 2003 and is registered as a diversified closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund commenced operations on June 25, 2003. The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income consistent with limiting its overall exposure to domestic interest rate risk.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

a. Valuation of investments

Portfolio debt securities acquired with more than 60 days to maturity are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service which takes into consideration such factors as similar security prices, yields, maturities, liquidity and ratings. Securities for which valuations are not available from an independent pricing service may be valued by brokers which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market value obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investments in other mutual funds are valued at net asset value. Securities for which market quotations are not available or not reflective of current market value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith, according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

b. Repurchase agreements

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the custodian bank or in a segregated account in the Fund's name until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions, which are deemed by the investment advisor to be creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees.

c. Foreign currency translation

All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not separately account for that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments and the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities.


20


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (unaudited) continued


d. Forward foreign currency contracts

A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on foreign currency related transactions. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.

e. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions

The Fund records when-issued securities as of trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

f. Securities lending

The Fund may lend its securities to certain qualified brokers in order to earn additional income. The Fund receives compensation in the form of fees or interest earned on the investment of any cash collateral received. The Fund also continues to receive interest and dividends on the securities loaned. The Fund receives collateral in the form of cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan, including accrued interest. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the loaned securities or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

g. Interest rate swaps

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage the Fund's exposure to interest rates. A swap agreement is an exchange of cash payments between the Fund and another party based on a notional principal amount. Cash payments or receipts are recorded as realized gains or losses. The value of the swap agreements is marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates.

h. Security transactions and investment income

Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses are computed using the specific cost of the security sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Foreign income and capital gains realized on some securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable.


21


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (unaudited) continued


i. Federal taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains (which have already been offset by available capital loss carryovers). Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required.

j. Distributions

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

2. ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC ("EIMC"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation ("Wachovia"), is the investment advisor to the Fund and is paid an annual fee of 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets applicable to common shareholders, if only common shares are outstanding. The advisory fee increases to 0.82% of the Fund's average daily net assets applicable to common shareholders once preferred shares are issued. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Fund had preferred shares issued and outstanding.

First International Advisors, Ltd. ("FIA), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the investment sub-advisor to the Fund and is paid by EIMC for its services to the Fund. Subject to the supervision of EIMC, FIA manages the foreign debt securities portion of the Fund's portfolio in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies.

From time to time, EIMC may voluntarily or contractually waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit operating expenses. For any fee waivers and/or reimbursements made after January 1, 2003, EIMC may recoup any amounts waived and/or reimbursed up to a period of three years following the end of the fiscal year in which the fee waivers and/or reimbursements were made.

Evergreen Investment Services, Inc. ("EIS"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wachovia, is the administrator to the Fund. As administrator, EIS provides the Fund with facilities, equipment and personnel and is paid an annual fee of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily total assets.

3. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

The Fund has authorized capital of 100,000,000 common shares with no par value. For the six months ended April 30, 2004 and for the period from June 25, 2003 (commencement of operations), to October 31, 2003, the Fund issued 0 and 42,055,000 common shares, respectively.

5. AUCTION MARKET PREFERRED SHARES

The Fund has issued 16,000 Auction Market Preferred Shares ("Preferred Shares") consisting of five series, each with a liquidation value of $25,000 plus accumulated but unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared). Dividends on each series of Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate which is reset based on the result of an auction. The annualized dividend rate was 1.57% during the six months ended April 30, 2004. The Fund will not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend to its common shareholders unless the Fund has declared and paid or contemporaneously declares and pays full cumulative dividends on each series of Preferred Shares through its most recent dividend payment date.

Each series of Preferred Shares is redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Fund on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared). Each series of Preferred Shares is also subject to mandatory redemption at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) if the requirement relating to the asset coverage with respect to the outstanding Preferred Shares would be less than 200%.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of the Fund's common shares and will vote together with holders of common shares as a single class. Holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two of the Fund's Trustees.

6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS

Through expense offset arrangements with the Fund's custodian, a portion of fund expenses has been reduced.

7. DEFERRED TRUSTEES' FEES

Each Trustee of the Fund may defer any or all compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The Trustees' deferred balances are allocated to deferral accounts, which are included in the accrued expenses for the Fund. The investment performance of the deferral accounts are based on the investment performance of certain Evergreen funds. Any gains earned or losses incurred in the deferral accounts are reported in the Fund's Trustees' fees and expenses. At the election of the Trustees, the deferral account will be paid either in one lump sum or in quarterly installments for up to ten years.

8. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

9. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS

On April 20, 2004, the Fund declared distributions from net investment income of $0.13084 per share, payable on June 1, 2004 to shareholders of record on May 14, 2004.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (unaudited)


AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

All common shareholders are eligible to participate in the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("the Plan"). Pursuant to the Plan, unless a common shareholder is ineligible or elects otherwise, all cash dividends and capital gains distributions are automatically reinvested by EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., as agent for shareholders in administering the Plan ("Plan Agent"), in additional common shares of the Fund. Whenever the Fund declares an ordinary income dividend or a capital gain dividend (collectively referred to as "dividends") payable either in shares or in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in shares of common shares. The shares are acquired by the Plan Agent for the participant's account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized common shares from the Fund ("newly issued common shares") or (ii) by purchase of outstanding common shares on the open market (open-market purchases) on the American Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any dividend or distribution, the net asset value per share of the common shares is equal to or less than the market price per common share plus estimated brokerage commissions ("market premium"), the Plan Agent will invest the amount of such dividend or distribution in newly issued shares on behalf of the participant. The number of newly issued common shares to be credited to the participant's account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the net asset value per share on the date the shares are issued, provided that the maximum discount from the then current market price per share on the date of issuance may not exceed 5%. If on the dividend payment date the net asset value per share is greater than the market value or market premium ("market discount"), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participant in open-market purchases. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued directly by the Fund as a result of dividends or capital gains distributions payable either in shares or in cash. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such dividends. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at P.O. Box 43010, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3010.
