PART I
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), in our press releases, and in oral statements made with the approval of an executive officer may
constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business,
our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements, and may be prefaced with words
such as “outlook,” “guidance,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “preliminary,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,”
“seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “projects,” “positioned,” “prospects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “pending
investments,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the factors discussed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
These factors (among others) could affect our financial condition, business activities, results of operations, cash flows, or

Item 1.Business
Overview
AMG is a strategic partner to leading independent investment firms globally. Our strategy is to generate long-term value
by investing in high-quality independent partner-owned firms, which we refer to as “Affiliates,” through a proven partnership
approach, and allocating resources across our unique opportunity set to the areas of highest growth and return.
We believe that high-quality, partner-own ed firms have fundamental competitive advantages in meeting client objectives.
With their entrepreneurial, investment-centric cultures, and deep alignment of interests with clients through direct equity
ownership by firm principals, independent firms have an ownership mindset, a long-term orientation to building their firms, and
the ability to act nimbly to capitalize on market movements, enabling them to offer unique return streams to the marketplace.
AMG’s distinctive partnership approach magnifies the existing advantages of our independent Affiliates and actively
supports their ongoing independence and ownership culture. Our innovative model enables each Affiliate’s management team
to retain autonomy and significant equity ownership in their firm, while they leverage our strategic capabilities and insight,
including access to growth capital, product strategy and distribution through our capital formation capabilities, succession
planning, and strategic advisory, to expand their reach, diversify their businesses, and enhance their long-term success.
Given that our Affiliates operate across alternatives and differentiated long-only strategies, we believe AMG is highly
diversified. Our Affiliates manage numerous differentiated strategies across a range of return-oriented asset classes and
structures across alternatives (including private markets and liquid alternatives) and differentiated long-only (including equities
and multi-asset and fixed income). We have built a highly diversified portfolio of Affiliates over time, and the underlying
diversity by strategy, product, and client type enhances our earnings stability across all stages of a market cycle, and therefore
our ability to consistently invest in the areas of highest growth and return to generate value for shareholders.
Our Strategy
We generate long-term value by investing in high-quality independent partner-owned firms and allocating resources across
AMG’s unique opportunity set to the areas of highest growth and return. Our business generates significant cash flow, which
we deploy toward growth investments and return of capital to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases.
Our growth investments are focused on: (i) partnering with high-quality new Affiliates operating in secular demand areas;
(ii) investing in and alongside our existing Affiliates to capitalize on their growth opportunities, including through seeding new
products; and (iii) investing in our own strategic value-add capabilities, which are leveraged by our Affiliates to further scale
and diversify their organizations. Across these opportunities, we are focused on investing in areas of secular growth and long-

term client demand. As part of our strategy, we consistently evaluate our forward opportunity set; over the last several years,
we have further invested in alternative strategies, including private markets and liquid alternatives. Through these recent
growth investments, we have deliberately evolved our business toward alternatives, with the intention of improving our long-
term organic growth and earnings growth prospects as well as further enhancing the stability of our cash flow.
AMG’s strategic expertise in collaborating with partner-owned firms has been honed over the course of three decades. Our
unique approach provides independent firms with the advantages of a long-term strategic partnership, while actively supporting
their autonomy and independence, thereby preserving their core strengths and essential elements of their success – their
entrepreneurial cultures, investment focus, and disciplined long-term orientations. We believe that clients recognize these
fundamental characteristics of partner-owned firms, as well as the alignment created by direct equity ownership by firm
principals, as competitive advantages in achieving client investment goals and objectives. We hold meaningful equity interests
in each of our Affiliates, and typically each Affiliate’s management team retains a significant equity interest in their own firm.
Affiliate management equity ownership (along with our long-term ownership) aligns our interests and preserves Affiliate
management equity incentives, including the opportunity for Affiliate management to participate directly in the long-term
future growth and profitability of their firms.
Our goal with Affiliates is to be an excellent partner. Each Affiliate partnership is unique, and we work closely with our
Affiliates to determine how AMG might amplify the long-term success of each firm by collaborating across a range of strategic
areas, including access to growth capital, product strategy and distribution through our capital formation capabilities, succession
planning, and strategic advisory. In many cases, where Affiliates access our growth capital or capital formation capabilities, we
invest our capital and resources to develop, seed, and distribute new strategies and products to meet evolving client needs, as
well as by deploying our distribution capabilities. Our distribution capabilities provide access to institutional and wealth clients
to complement our Affiliates’ own resources and expand their reach, including by leveraging the expertise of our senior sales
and marketing professionals and the depth and breadth of AMG’s strategic relationships in the U.S., Europe, the UK, the
Middle East, and Asia. As part of our capital formation capabilities, AMG’s vertically-integrated U.S. wealth platform enables
Affiliates to access the attractive and growing wealth marketplace. Affiliates can leverage AMG’s product development
capabilities, sales organization, and operational platform to access this market, which is challenging for independent managers
to effectively do on their own at scale; likewise, AMG’s platform provides wealth clients with access to differentiated product
from best-in-class independent managers. We have a track record of successfully bringing Affiliate strategies to market, having
launched one of the first evergreen funds in the private equity space, and are continuing to build on our success through the
launch of a number of new alternative strategies in the wealth marketplace. In addition, for some of our Affiliates, we leverage
our long-term partnership approach to facilitate succession planning across generations of Affiliate management principals and
provide succession planning solutions and advice, which can include a degree of liquidity and financial diversification along
with incentive alignment for next-generation partners.
Our proven ability to magnify the competitive advantages of partner-owned firms, while also preserving their
independence, differentiates AMG's partnership model and is increasingly valued by prospective Affiliates. Independent firms
seeking an institutional partner are attracted to our innovative partnership approach and our global reputation as a successful
strategic partner to independent investment firms around the world. We anticipate that the principal owners of independent
investment firms will continue to seek access to an evolving range of growth and succession solutions. We will, therefore,
continue to have a significant opportunity to invest in and partner with additional high-quality firms across the global
investment management industry. In addition, we continue to have the opportunity to make additional equity investments in
our existing Affiliates, or invest in their growth by providing seed or other growth capital. We are well-positioned to execute
upon these investment opportunities through our:
•established process of identifying, and cultivating relationships with, high-quality prospective Affiliates;
•broad industry network and proprietary relationships developed with prospects over many years;
•substantial experience and expertise in structuring and negotiating transactions;
•global reputation as an excellent partner to our Affiliates, having provided innovative solutions for the strategic
needs of independent investment firms across three decades; and
•successful engagement with our Affiliates to enhance their long-term prospects, including through product
development, distribution, and other business development initiatives.

Our Affiliates
Our Affiliates provide a diverse range of differentiated return streams through their specialized investment processes.
Given their long-term performance records, our Affiliates are recognized as being among the industry’s leaders in their
respective investment disciplines. Our Affiliates’ attractive return streams are utilized in client portfolios to address a range of
needs for institutional and wealth clients globally; certain Affiliates also provide investment management and customized
investment counseling and fiduciary services to high net worth individuals and families and institutional clients.
As of December 31, 2024, our Affiliates managed approximately $708 billion across a broad range of investment styles
and geographies, in alternative and differentiated long-only strategies, as described below.
Alternative Strategies
Private Markets: Our Affiliates managed approximately $135 billion in private market assets. These Affiliates operate in a
diverse number of areas with long-term structural tailwinds, including infrastructure, credit, private market solutions, and
specialty areas including industrial decarbonization, life sciences, and multi-family real estate. With long-dated capital
commitments, and the growing potential to generate and realize carried interest over time, we believe our private markets
Affiliates enhance AMG’s long-term organic growth, earnings power, and cash flow stability.
Liquid Alternatives: Our Affiliates managed approximately $141 billion in liquid alternative assets. These Affiliates have
excellent long-term track records across both beta-sensitive and absolute return strategies, including global macro, relative
value fixed income, and trend-following, which are designed to generate returns that have low or no correlation to broader
markets. These strategies can generate sizable performance fee earnings that — given their diversity and demonstrated low
correlation to risk assets — can contribute to the stability of AMG’s earnings over time. Many of our liquid alternative
strategies are designed to protect against volatility and drawdowns, complementing our private markets and differentiated long-
only strategies.
Differentiated Long-Only Strategies
Equities and Multi-asset and Fixed Income: Our Affiliates managed approximately $316 billion in equity assets across a
number of differentiated products and approximately $116 billion in multi-asset and fixed income strategies.
Our Affiliates operate across a range of traditional equity and fixed income strategies typically through mutual fund
products governed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), separately managed
accounts, and Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”), in both the U.S. and international
markets. Additionally, we have several wealth management Affiliates, which manage multi-asset class portfolios on behalf of
their clients. These Affiliates have built enduring franchises with specialized investment expertise and long-term track records
across all stages of a market cycle.
With meaningful earnings contributions from each of private markets, liquid alternatives, and differentiated long-only
(including equities and multi-asset and fixed income) strategies, AMG’s business and earnings profile is highly diversified.
Our Partnership Structure with Affiliates
AMG offers bespoke partnership solutions to address each Affiliate’s unique needs. Consistent with AMG’s partnership
approach and commitment to independence, we offer a range of operating structures and have customized arrangements with
each of our Affiliates that provide their management teams with the authority to manage and operate the business on a day-to-
day basis.
Each of our Affiliates operates through distinct legal entities, which affords us the flexibility to design a separate operating
agreement for each Affiliate that reflects the customized arrangement, including with respect to the specific terms of our
economic participation in the Affiliate, which, in each case, uses a “structured partnership interest” to ensure alignment of our
economic interests with those of Affiliate management. The form of our structured partnership interests in our Affiliates differs
from Affiliate to Affiliate, and may change during the course of our investment.
In the case of structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s revenue without regard to expenses, comprising
Affiliates that contribute a majority of our Consolidated revenue, the Affiliate allocates a specified percentage of its revenue to
us and Affiliate management, while using the remainder for operating expenses and additional distributions to Affiliate
management. We and Affiliate management, therefore, participate in any increase or decrease in revenue, and only Affiliate
4
Table of Contents
management participates in any increase or decrease in expenses. Under these structured partnership interests our contractual
share of revenue generally has priority over distributions to Affiliate management.
In the case of structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s revenue less agreed-upon expenses, we benefit from
any increase in revenue or any decrease in the agreed-upon expenses, but also have exposure to any decrease in revenue or any
increase in such agreed-upon expenses. The degree of our exposure to agreed-upon expenses from these structured partnership
interests varies by Affiliate, and includes several Affiliates in which we fully share in the expenses of the business. Further, the
expenses in which we agree to share may change during the course of our investment.
When we own a controlling equity interest in an Affiliate, we consolidate the Affiliate’s financial results into our
Consolidated Financial Statements. When we do not own a controlling equity interest in an Affiliate, but have significant
influence, we account for our interest in the Affiliate under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, we do
not consolidate the Affiliate’s results into our Consolidated Financial Statements. Instead, our share of earnings or losses, net
of amortization and impairments, is included in Equity method income (net) in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and our
interest in these Affiliates is recorded in Equity method investments in Affiliates (net) in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Whether we consolidate an Affiliate’s financial results or use the equity method of accounting, we maintain the same
innovative partnership approach and offer support and assistance in substantially the same manner for all of our Affiliates.
From time to time, we may restructure our interest in an Affiliate to better support the Affiliate’s growth strategy, but only if
doing so is in the best interest of the Affiliate’s business, management partners, and clients, as well as our stakeholders.
Competition
Our Affiliates compete with numerous investment management firms globally, as well as with subsidiaries of larger
financial organizations. These firms may have significantly greater financial, technological, and marketing resources; access to
captive distribution; and assets under management. Many of these firms may offer products and services that our Affiliates
may not, in particular investment strategies such as passively managed products, including exchange traded funds, which
typically carry lower fee rates. Certain Affiliates offer their investment management services to the same client types and, from
time to time, may compete with each other for clients. In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry for new investment
management firms, especially for those providing investment management services to institutional and high net worth investors.
We believe that the most important factors affecting our Affiliates’ ability to compete for clients are the:
•investment performance, investment styles, and reputations of our Affiliates and their management teams;
•differentiation of our Affiliates’ investment strategies and products and the continued development of investment
strategies and products to meet the evolving needs and demands of investors;
•depth and continuity of our and our Affiliates’ client relationships and the level of client service offered;
•maintenance of strong business relationships by us and our Affiliates with major intermediaries; and
•continued success of our and our Affiliates’ distribution efforts.
Additionally, our strategy includes investing in independent partner-owned investment firms, and in this area we compete
with a number of acquirers and investors, including investment management companies, private equity firms, sovereign wealth
funds, and larger financial organizations. We believe that the most important factors on which we compete for future
investments are purchase price; our partnership model, including the equity incentive structures and access to capital formation
and strategic advisory capabilities; and the breadth and depth of our relationships, and our reputation, with investment firm
prospects. We believe we offer a unique and differentiated partnership opportunity to Affiliates based on the long-term
duration of our partnership, the ability for our Affiliates to remain independent partner-owned investment firms, and our
strategic capabilities.
Government Regulation
Our Affiliates offer their investment management services and products around the world, and are subject to complex and
extensive regulation by regulatory and self-regulatory authorities and exchanges in various jurisdictions. Virtually all aspects
of the asset management business, including the provision of advice, investment strategies and trading, fund sponsorship, and
product-related sales and distribution activities, are subject to regulation. These regulations are primarily intended to protect the
clients of investment advisers and generally grant regulatory authorities broad administrative and enforcement powers.
5
Table of Contents
The majority of our Affiliates are registered with the SEC as investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). The Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on registered investment advisers,
including fiduciary duties, compliance and disclosure obligations, and operational and recordkeeping requirements. Our
Affiliates operating outside of the U.S. may be subject to the Advisers Act and are also subject to regulation by various
regulatory and self-regulatory authorities and exchanges in the relevant jurisdictions, including, for those Affiliates active in the
UK, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”). Many of our Affiliates also sponsor or advise registered and unregistered
funds in the U.S. and in other jurisdictions, and are subject to regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions where those funds are
sponsored or offered, including, with respect to mutual funds in the U.S., the Investment Company Act. The Investment
Company Act governs the operations of mutual funds and imposes obligations on their advisers, including investment
restrictions and other governance, compliance, reporting, and fiduciary obligations relating to the management of mutual funds.
Many of our Affiliates are also subject to directives and regulations in the European Union and other jurisdictions relating to
funds, such as the UCITS Directive and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive, with respect to depositary
functions, remuneration policies, and sanctions, among other matters.
Our Affiliates’ sales and marketing activities are subject to regulation by authorities in the jurisdictions in which they offer
investment management products and services. Our Affiliates’ ability to transact business in these jurisdictions, and to conduct
related cross-border activities, is subject to the continuing availability of regulatory authorizations and exemptions. Through
our distribution platform, we also engage in sales and marketing activities that extend the reach of our Affiliates’ own business
development efforts, and which are subject to regulation in numerous jurisdictions. Our U.S. wealth distribution subsidiary is
registered with the SEC under the Advisers Act. This subsidiary sponsors mutual funds registered under the Investment
Company Act, and serves as an investment adviser and/or administrator for our fund complex. In the UK, our institutional
distribution subsidiary is regulated by the FCA. We also have an institutional distribution branch of a subsidiary regulated by
the Dubai Financial Services Authority, and any activities in the European Union are subject to compliance with applicable
regulations in various European jurisdictions.
Certain of our Affiliates and our U.S. wealth distribution subsidiary are subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and related regulations, with respect to retirement plan clients. ERISA imposes
duties on persons who are fiduciaries under ERISA, and prohibits certain transactions involving related parties to a retirement
plan. The U.S. Department of Labor administers ERISA and regulates investment advisers who service retirement plan clients,
and has been increasingly active in proposing and adopting additional regulations applicable to the investment management
industry. Certain of our Affiliates and our U.S. wealth distribution subsidiary are also members of the National Futures
Association and are regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) with respect to the management
of funds and other products that utilize futures, swaps, o r other CFTC-regulated instruments.
In addition, certain of our Affiliates and our U.S. wealth broker-dealer subsidiary are registered broker-dealers and
members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), for the purpose of distributing funds or other products.
FINRA has adopted extensive regulatory requirements relating to sales practices, registration of personnel, compliance and
supervision, and compensation and disclosure. FINRA and the SEC have the authority to conduct periodic examinations of
member broker-dealers, and may also conduct administrative proceedings. These broker-dealers are also subject to net capital
rules in the U.S. that mandate the maintenance of certain levels of capital, and our Affiliates and our other distribution
subsidiaries may also be subject to other regulatory capital requirements imposed by non-U.S. regulatory authorities.
Due to the extensive laws and regulations to which we and our Affiliates are subject, we and our Affiliates must devote
substantial time, expense an d effort to remain current on, and to address, legal and regulatory compliance matters. We have
established compliance programs for each of our operating subsidiaries, and each of our Affiliates has established compliance
programs to address regulatory compliance requirements for its operations. We and our Affiliates have experienced legal and
compliance professionals in place to address these requirements, and have relationships with various legal and regulatory
advisers in each of the countries where we and our Affiliates conduct business. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors”.
Human Capital Management
As of December 31, 2024, we and our Affiliates had approximately 4,100 employees, the substantial majority of which
were employed by our Affiliates and not by AMG. Each Affiliate’s management team retains autonomy in managing and
operating their business on a day-to-day basis, including with respect to their human capital. Given this, the following is a
discussion of AMG’s workforce, or approximately 250 of the total employees, and the policies and cultural initiatives which
pertain to our human capital.
6
Table of Contents
Our employees and our reputation are our most important assets, and attracting, retaining, and motivating top talent to
execute on our strategic business objectives is a fundamental imperative. We support that imperative through our strong
values-based culture, commitment to career development and training, employee engagement initiatives, attractive
compensation and benefits programs, attention to succession planning, and fostering of organizational diversity at all levels of
our organization.
Our leadership training and sponsored skills development programs cover a wide range of subject area expertise as well as
career development generally, and are anchored on a comprehensive performance review process, which includes a company-
wide 360-degree review program. Further, we support employees’ educational pursuits relating to degree programs and
certifications through company-supported time off and funding for professional development and flexible work arrangements
tailored to individual employees’ educational goals. We regularly conduct company-wide surveys to solicit feedback from our
employees on a variety of topics, including corporate culture, philanthropic interests, and general job satisfaction, which help us
to enhance employee engagement and retention. Our annual anonymous employee engagement survey reported an employee
satisfaction rating of approximately 90% in 2024, which we attribute to our focus and commitment to our employees, our
entrepreneurial culture and partnership orientation, and our meaningful involvement with communities surrounding our offices.
We prioritize employee engagement through a range of cross-functional, multi-level communication and collaboration
mediums through both in-person and virtual forums, including small working group lunches, company-wide gatherings and
town halls, management off-sites, and charitable volunteer activities. Through employee participation in our corporate
philanthropic initiatives across our global offices, we are committed to giving back to the communities in which we work and
live, and we believe that these initiatives also support our efforts to attract and retain employees. We provide company-
supported time off to encourage employees in their charitable endeavors. We also offer a formal gift-matching program to
match employee donations to eligible non-profit institutions through AMG and The AMG Charitable Foundation, as well as a
volunteer-matching program, wherein volunteer hours are matched with philanthropic credits that employees may donate to
eligible organizations. Through our matching program as well as through direct grants, AMG and The AMG Charitable
Foundation have made donations to more than 900 organizations around the world to date.
We seek to recruit the best people for each role without regard to gender, ethnicity, or other protected traits, and it is our
policy to comply fully with all domestic, foreign, and local laws relating to discrimination in the workplace. Across
management positions in our workforce, gender diversity is 39%, and nearly half (48%) of our employees are women. Further,
three of seven (43%) independent members of our Board of Directors are women, and three of seven (43%) independent
directors are ethnically diverse. In addition, one of our three Board committees is chaired by a woman. Our executive
management team has responsibility for human capital initiatives, in coordination with our Sustainability Committee, and
reviews these initiatives with our Board of Directors regularly.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
We and our Affiliates face a variety of risks that are substantial and inherent in our businesses. The following are some of
the more important factors that could affect our and our Affiliates’ businesses. Investors should carefully consider these risks,
along with the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment decision
regarding our common stock or other publicly-listed securities. There may be additional risks of which we are currently
unaware, or which we currently consider immaterial. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock. Certain statements in “Risk Factors” are forward-
looking statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY, BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Our financial results depend on our Affiliates’ receipt of asset- and performance-based fees, and are impacted by investment
performance, as well as changes in fee levels, product mix, and the relative levels of assets under management among our
Affiliates.
Our financial results depend on our Affiliates’ receipt of asset- and performance-based fees, which may vary substantially
from year to year. Our Affiliates’ ability to grow or maintain current fee levels depends on a number of factors, including our
Affiliates’ investment performance, as well as competition and trends in the investment management industry, such as investor
demand for passively-managed products, including index and exchange traded funds, that typically carry lower fee rates, or
preferences for other developing strategies or trends. Further, different types of assets under management can generate different
ratios of asset-based fees to assets under management (“asset-based fee ratio”), based on factors such as the investment strategy
and the type of client. Thus, a change in the composition of our assets under management, either within an Affiliate or among
our Affiliates, could result in a decrease in our aggregate fees even if our aggregate assets under management remains
unchanged or increases. Products that use fee structures based on investment performance may also vary significantly from
period to period, depending on the investment performance of the particular product. For some of our Affiliates, performance-
based fees include benchmarks, such as a high-watermark provision, which generally provide that if a product underperforms
on an absolute basis or relative to a specified benchmark, it must regain such underperformance before the Affiliate will earn
any performance-based fees. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, our Affiliates may reduce or waive fees on certain
products for particular time periods, to attract or retain assets or for other reasons. No assurances can be given that our
Affiliates will be able to grow or maintain current fee structures or levels, or that certain strategies they offer will be in demand
at any given time. A reduction in the fees that our Affiliates receive could have an adverse impact on our financial condition
and results of operations.
Additionally, our structured partnership interests are tailored to meet the needs of each Affiliate and are therefore varied,
and our earnings may be adversely affected by changes in the relative performance or in the relative levels and mix of assets
under management among our Affiliates, independent of our aggregate operating performance measures. Challenging market
conditions, volatility or slowdowns affecting a particular asset class, client type, product structure, geographic region, industry
or other category of investment could have a significant adverse impact on a specific Affiliate if its investments are
concentrated in that area, which could result in lower investment returns and in turn, lower fees earned at that Affiliate. Further,
certain Affiliates contribute more significantly to our results than other Affiliates and, therefore, changes in fee levels, product
mix, assets under management, or investment performance of such Affiliates could have a disproportionate adverse impact on
our financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial results could be adversely affected by any reduction in our assets under management, which could reduce the
asset- and performance-based fees earned by our Affiliates.
Our financial results may be impacted by changes in the total level of our assets under management. The total level of our
assets under management generally or with respect to particular products or Affiliates could be adversely affected by conditions
outside of our control, including:
•a decline in the market value of our assets under management, due to declines or heightened volatility in the capital
markets, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, inflation, changes in the yield curve, and
other market factors;
•changes in investor risk tolerance or investment preferences, which could result in investor allocations away from
strategies and products offered by our Affiliates;
8
Table of Contents
•our Affiliates’ ability to attract and retain client assets and market products and services, which may be impacted by
investment performance, client relationships, demand for product and service offerings, their continued development
of products to meet the changing demands of investors, and the prices of securities generally;
•global economic conditions, which may be exacerbated by changes in the equity or debt markets, including impacts
from shifting monetary policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and other global central banks, or instability and
liquidity issues in the financial system generally;
•financial crises, political or diplomatic developments in the U.S. or globally, including uncertainties regarding actual
and potential changes in domestic, foreign, trade, economic, and other policies, trade tensions, public health crises,
civil unrest, war, terrorism, natural disasters, or risks associated with global climate change; and
•other factors that are difficult to predict.
A reduction in our assets under management could adversely affect the fees payable to our Affiliates and, ultimately, our
financial condition and results of operations. To the extent any of these conditions or factors adversely affect our or our
Affiliates’ operations or global economic conditions generally, they may also have the effect of heightening other risks
described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.
If our or our Affiliates’ reputations are harmed, we could suffer losses in our business and financial results.
The success of our business depends on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our Affiliates and our
stockholders, our ability to compete for future investment opportunities, and our and our Affiliates’ reputations among existing
and potential clients. Our and our Affiliates’ reputations are critical to our business and could be impacted by events that may
be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate, including:
•alleged or actual failures by us, our Affiliates, or our respective employees to comply with applicable laws, rules, or
regulations;
•errors in our public reports;
•cyber-attack or data breach incidents;
•fund liquidity or valuation issues, or issues relating to the use of leverage, including with respect to assets within
private markets funds, liquid alternatives, or similar products of certain of our Affiliates;
•threatened or actual litigation against us, any of our Affiliates, or our respective employees;
•perceived or actual conflict between us and any of our Affiliates or among our Affiliates;
•negative perceptions of our or certain of our Affiliates’ investments or business practices by stakeholder groups who
have increasingly expressed divergent views on a range of environmental, social, and governance matters;
•fraudulent impersonations of us, our Affiliates, or members of our management by third-party bad actors, including in
social engineering schemes that attempt to manipulate targeted recipients into participating in fraudulent investments,
purport to offer investment services, or solicit fraudulent investments, including through fake websites and on social
media platforms and messaging applications; or
•other events and factors that are difficult to predict including those that could impact our Affiliates’ ability to compete
effectively with other firms, our ability to successfully pursue our growth strategy, and other risks described elsewhere
in this “Risk Factors” section.
Any of the foregoing events, or the public announcement and potential publicity surrounding these issues, even if
inaccurate, satisfactorily addressed, or if no violation or wrongdoing actually occurred, could adversely impact our Affiliates’
reputations and their relationships with clients, our relationships with our Affiliates, and our ability to negotiate agreements
with new independent investment firms, any of which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, our financial condition
and results of operations, or the market price of our common stock.
The investment management industry is highly competitive.
Our Affiliates compete with numerous investment management firms globally, including public, private and client-owned
investment advisers; firms managing passively-managed products, including exchange traded funds; firms associated with
9
Table of Contents
securities broker-dealers, financial institutions, insurance companies, private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds; and other
entities. These firms may have significantly greater financial, technological, and marketing resources, captive distribution and
assets under management, or be subject to less regulation and accordingly have more flexibility to undertake and execute
certain investments with less compliance expense, and many of these firms may offer products and services that our Affiliates
may not in particular investment strategies. These firms may also compete by seeking to capitalize on a trend towards
institutions consolidating the number of investment managers they work with. Competition from these firms may reduce the
fees that our Affiliates can obtain for investment management services, or could impair our Affiliates’ ability to attract and
retain client assets, and any failure by our Affiliates to successfully develop competing new products and services, or
effectively manage the associated operational risks, could harm our Affiliates’ reputations and expose them to additional costs
or regulatory scrutiny, which could adversely affect our assets under management, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our Affiliates’ ability to compete effectively with other firms depends upon the performance of our Affiliates’
investment strategies, the applicability of products to meet client objectives and preferences, and the continued development of
strategies and products to meet the evolving needs and demands of investors, as well as our Affiliates’ reputations, client
relationships, fee structures, client-servicing capabilities, and the marketing and distribution of their investment strategies,
among other factors. See “Competition” in Item 1. Our Affiliates may not compare favorably with their competitors in any or
all of these categories, and technological developments, including financial applications and services based on generative
artificial intelligence (“AI”), may over time reduce the demand for, or clients’ willingness to pay for, certain products and
services. From time to time, our Affiliates may also compete with each other for clients and investment opportunities.
Investment management contracts are subject to termination on short notice.
Through our Affiliates, we derive almost all of our asset- and performance-based fees from clients pursuant to investment
management contracts. While certain of our Affiliates’ private equity and alternative products have long-term commitment
periods, many of our Affiliates’ investment management contracts are terminable by the client without penalty upon relatively
short notice (typically not longer than 60 days). We cannot be certain that our Affiliates will be able to retain their existing
clients or attract new clients. If our Affiliates’ clients, in particular a significant client or a series of significant clients,
terminate their investment management contracts or withdraw a substantial amount of assets for any number of reasons,
including poor investment performance, loss of key investment personnel, changes in the client’s decision makers, or
reputational, regulatory, or compliance issues, it is likely to harm our results of operations. In addition, investment
management contracts with mutual funds or other similar products are subject to annual approval by the fund’s board of
directors.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future, and existing or future resources may not be available to us in
sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms.
While we believe that our existing cash resources and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working
capital needs for normal operations for the foreseeable future, our continuing acquisitions of interests in independent investment
firms and our other strategic initiatives may require additional capital. Further, we have significant purchase obligations
relating to Affiliate equity interests, as well as commitments relating to general partner and seed capital investments, and it is
difficult to predict the frequency and magnitude of these purchases or associated capital calls. As of December 31, 2024, the
current redemption value relating to Affiliate equity interests was $405.3 million, of which $350.5 million was presented as
Redeemable non-controlling interests (including $12.9 million of consolidated Affiliate sponsored investment products
primarily attributable to third-party investors), and $54.8 million was included in Other liabilities. See “Liquidity and Capital
Resources-Affiliate Equity” in Item 7 and Notes 15 and 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Unfunded commitments
relating to general partner and seed capital investments were $236.5 million as of December 31, 2024. See Notes 2 and 6 of our
Consolidated Financial Statements. These obligations may require more cash than is then available from our existing cash
resources and cash flows from operations. Thus, we may need to raise capital through additional borrowings or by selling
shares of our common stock or other equity or debt securities, or otherwise refinance a portion of these obligations.
As of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding debt of $2.7 billion. Our level of indebtedness may increase if we fund
future investments or other expenses through borrowings. We may also seek to refinance existing indebtedness for the purpose
of managing maturity dates, to seek alternative financing terms or for other reasons, which may not be available on similar
terms as our existing indebtedness, including with respect to interest rates. Any additional indebtedness could increase our
vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and may require us to dedicate a greater portion of our cash
flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness.
The financing activities described above could increase our Interest expense, decrease our Net income (controlling interest)
or dilute the interests of our existing stockholders. In addition, our access to additional capital, and the cost of capital we are
10
Table of Contents
able to access, is influenced by a number of factors, including the state of global credit and equity markets, interest rates, credit
spreads and our credit ratings. As a result, we may be unable to enter into new credit facilities or issue debt or equity in the
future on attractive terms, or at all. We are currently rated A3 by Moody’s Investors Service and BBB+ by S&P Global
Ratings. A reduction in our credit ratings could also increase our borrowing costs under our revolver or, in certain cases, give
rise to a termination right by the counterparty under our derivative financial instruments, if any. There can be no assurance that
we will achieve a particular credit rating or maintain any particular rating in the future.
Our debt agreements impose certain covenants relating to the conduct of our business, including financial covenants under
our revolver, any breach of which could result in the acceleration of the repayment of any amounts borrowed or outstanding
thereunder.
Our debt agreements contain customary affirmative operating covenants and negative covenants that, among other things,
place certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt, merge or transfer assets, and create liens and, in the
case of our revolver, require us to maintain specified financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum
interest coverage ratio. The breach of any covenant (either due to our actions or omissions or, in the case of financial
covenants, due to a significant and prolonged market-driven decline in our operating results) could result in a default under the
applicable debt agreement and, in the case of our revolver, lenders could refuse to make further extensions of credit to us.
Further, in the event of certain defaults, amounts borrowed under our debt agreements, together with accrued interest and other
fees, could become immediately due and payable. If any indebtedness were to become subject to accelerated repayment, we
may not have sufficient liquid assets to repay such indebtedness in full.
We have substantial intangibles on our balance sheet, and any impairment of our intangibles could adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2024, our total assets were $8.8 billion, of which $4.3 billion were intangibles, and $2.2 billion were
equity method investments in Affiliates, an amount primarily composed of intangible assets. We cannot be certain that we will
realize the value of such intangible assets. Our intangible assets may become impaired as a result of any number of factors,
including changes in market conditions, declines in the value of assets under management, client attrition, product performance,
reductions in fee rates, and changes in strategic objectives or growth prospects of an Affiliate. An impairment of our intangible
assets or an other-than-temporary decline in the value of our equity method investments could adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations. Determining the value of intangible assets, and evaluating them for impairment, requires
management to exercise significant judgment. In prior periods, we have recorded expenses to reduce the carrying value to fair
value of certain Affiliates and certain acquired client relationships, and may experience similar impairment events in future
reporting periods. See “Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments” in Item 7 and Notes 7 and 8 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Market risk management activities may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.
Cash management transactions, capital markets financings, and certain investments or other transactions may create
exposure for us or our Affiliates to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, marketable securities, and
financial markets generally, which we or our Affiliates may seek to offset by entering into derivative financial instruments. The
scope of these risk management activities is selective and varies based on the level and volatility of interest rates, foreign
currency exchange rates, applicable marketable securities, and other changing market conditions. We and our Affiliates do not
seek to hedge exposure to all market risks, which means that exposure to certain market risks is not limited. Further, the use of
derivative financial instruments does not entirely eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the value of the underlying position
or prevent losses if the value of the position declines, and also can limit the opportunity for gain if the value of the position
increases. There can be no assurance that our or our Affiliates’ derivative financial instruments will meet their overall objective
or that we or our Affiliates will be successful in entering into such instruments in the future. Further, while hedging
arrangements may reduce certain risks, such arrangements themselves may entail other risks, may generate significant
transaction costs, and may require the posting of cash collateral. For example, if our or our Affiliates’ counterparties fail to
honor their obligations in a timely manner, including any obligations to return posted collateral, our liquidity and results of
operations could be adversely impacted.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRATEGY AND OUR STRUCTURED PARTNERSHIPS WITH AFFILIATES
Our growth strategy depends in part upon our ability to identify and consummate investments in suitable independent
investment firms.
Our continued success in investing in independent investment firms will depend upon our ability to find suitable firms in
which to invest or make additional investments in our existing Affiliates, our ability to negotiate agreements with such firms on
acceptable terms, maintaining our relationships with prospects and our reputation as a leading partner to these firms, and our
ability to raise the capital necessary to finance such transactions. The market for acquisitions of interests in these firms is
highly competitive. Many other public and private financial services companies, including commercial and investment banks,
private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, and investment management firms, also invest in
independent investment firms and may have significantly greater resources than we do. In addition to direct competition on
particular prospects, these firms can also negatively impact the volume and value of transactions more broadly. Further, our
innovative partnership approach with our Affiliates is designed to enhance our Affiliates’ ability to achieve their long-term
strategic objectives, while preserving their independence and autonomy, and, therefore, their unique entrepreneurial and
investment-centric cultures, and the management of some target firms may prefer terms and structures offered by our
competitors.
We may not be successful in making investments in new firms or maintaining existing investments, and any firms that we
do invest in may not have favorable results or performance following our initial investment or any subsequent investment,
which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our investments involve a number of
risks, including the existence of unknown liabilities that may arise after making an investment, some of which may depend
upon factors that are not under our control. Further, the consummation of our announced investments is generally subject to a
number of closing conditions, contingencies and approvals, including, but not limited to, obtaining certain consents of the
independent investment firm’s clients and applicable regulatory approvals. In the event that an announced transaction is not
consummated, we may experience a decline in the price of our common stock.
Our growth strategy also includes selectively pursuing strategic partnerships, transactions, and initiatives, which could
involve additional risks and uncertainties.
Our growth strategy also includes selectively pursuing strategic partnerships, transactions, and initiatives in areas where we
can assist our Affiliates in growing and diversifying their businesses (including through seed capital, general partner
commitments, and other strategic investments in our Affiliates and their funds), to further enhance our competitive position, or
where we believe we can add value and generate meaningful returns. These strategic partnerships, transactions, and initiatives
may be complementary to our existing business or involve new operational areas, product structures, or strategies (including in
private markets and liquid alternatives), which includes, among others, initiatives to increase the number and type of investment
products offered to high-net-worth individuals and families through our U.S. wealth and global distribution platforms, and
expanding the geography and scope of our operations. These initiatives involve risks and uncertainties, including compliance
with additional regulatory and disclosure requirements, increased potential for disputes, exposure to more volatile market
segments and reputational risks, and significant commitments of capital over extended periods of time. Addressing these risks
and uncertainties may require additional resources and investment, including the implementation of new operational controls
and procedures, as well as require complex contractual arrangements, structures, and specialized skills. There is no certainty
that such initiatives will deliver the anticipated benefits over the expected time frame or at all, or that our stockholders will react
favorably. Any failure to successfully execute on strategic partnerships, transactions, or initiatives, including in connection
with our entry into new operational areas or effectively managing associated risks, or by our Affiliates in deploying strategic
capital into suitable new investment opportunities, could harm our reputation and expose us to additional costs, which could
adversely affect our assets under management, financial condition, and results of operations.
The structure of our partnership interests in our Affiliates may expose us to unanticipated changes in Affiliate revenue,
operating expenses, and other commitments, which we may not anticipate and may have limited ability to control.
The form of our structured partnership interests in our Affiliates differs from Affiliate to Affiliate, and may change during
the course of our investment.
In the case of structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s revenue without regard to expenses, comprising
Affiliates that contribute a majority of our Consolidated revenue, the Affiliate allocates a specified percentage of its revenue to
us and Affiliate management, while using the remainder for operating expenses and additional distributions to Affiliate
management. In these types of structures, while our distributions generally have priority, our agreed allocations may not
anticipate changes in the revenue and operating expense base of the Affiliate, and the revenue remaining after our specified
12
Table of Contents
share is allocated to us may not be large enough to cover all of the Affiliate’s operating expenses, which could result in a
reduction of the amount allocated to us or could negatively impact the Affiliate’s operations and prospects.
In the case of structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s revenue less agreed-upon expenses, we benefit from
any increase in revenue or any decrease in the agreed-upon expenses, but also have exposure to any decrease in revenue or any
increase in such expenses. The degree of our exposure to agreed-upon expenses from these structured partnership interests
varies by Affiliate (and may change during the course of our investment), and includes several Affiliates in which we fully
share in the expenses of the business. In these types of structures, we may have limited or no ability to control the level of
expenses at the Affiliate, and our distributions generally do not have priority. Further, the impact of Affiliate expenses on our
earnings and our stock price could increase if the portion of our earnings derived from such Affiliates increases.
As a result of these factors, unanticipated changes in revenue, operating expenses, or other commitments at any of our
Affiliates could leave the Affiliate with a shortfall in remaining funds for distribution to us or Affiliate management, or for
funding their operations. Changes in the global marketplace in particular could result in rapid changes to our Affiliates’
earnings or expenses, and our Affiliates may be unable to make appropriate expense reductions in a timely manner to respond
to such changes. Any of these developments could have an adverse effect on our financial condition generally, and on our
results of operations for the applicable reporting period.
Additionally, regardless of the particular structure, we may agree to change the structure, or may elect to defer or forgo the
receipt of our share of an Affiliate’s revenue or earnings, or adjust expenses allocated to us, to permit the Affiliate to fund
expenses in light of unanticipated changes in revenue or operating expenses, with the aim of maximizing the long-term benefits
for us and the Affiliate. These types of activities could increase during periods where an Affiliate’s revenues decline rapidly or
other events occur that impact the Affiliate’s expenses or operations. We cannot be certain that any such deferral or
forbearance would be of any greater long-term benefit to us, and such a deferral or forbearance may have an adverse effect on
our near- or long-term financial condition and results of operations.
We may reposition or divest our equity interests in our Affiliates, and we cannot be certain that any such repositioning or
divestment will benefit us in the near- or long-term.
From time to time, we may reposition our relationships with our Affiliates, which could, among other things, include
changes to our structured partnership interests, including changes in our ownership level and in the calculation of our share of
revenue and/or operating expenses. Such repositioning may be done in order to address an Affiliate’s succession planning,
changes in its revenue or operating expense base, our or the Affiliate’s strategic planning, or other developments. Any
repositioning of our interest in an Affiliate may result in increased exposure to changes in the Affiliate’s revenue and/or
operating expenses, or in additional investments or commitments from us, or could increase or reduce, or change the structure
of, our interest in the Affiliate. In some cases, this could result in the full divestment of our interest to Affiliate management or
to a third-party, or in our acquisition of all of the equity interests of the Affiliate. In addition, certain of our Affiliates have
customary rights in certain circumstances to restructure or sell their interests in their firm to a third-party, which could be
through a direct majority or minority sale transaction, a private or public offering, or otherwise, and to cause us to participate in
such restructuring or sale, which could be on terms that we view as less favorable than an alternative transaction or to retaining
our interest. Any such transactions or changes, or disputes in relation to such transactions or changes which do not resolve in
our favor, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations.
We and our Affiliates rely on certain key personnel and cannot guarantee their continued service.
We depend on the efforts of our executive officers and our other officers and employees. Our executive officers, in
particular, play an important role in the stability and growth of our existing Affiliates and in identifying potential investments in
independent investment firms. There is no guarantee that these executive officers will remain with the Company. We do not
have employment agreements with our executive officers, although each has a significant deferred equity interest in the
Company and is subject to non-solicitation and non-competition restrictions that may be triggered upon their departure.
Further, we seek to attract and retain our key officers and employees through a number of initiatives and programs, including
developing a strong values-based culture, a commitment to career development, employee engagement, attractive compensation
and benefits programs, attention to succession planning, and fostering of organizational diversity, any of which may not be
successful in contributing to the retention of such employees. Changes in our management team, in particular, may be
disruptive to our business, and failure to attract and retain members of our executive or senior management team, or to
effectively implement and manage appropriate succession plans, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
13
Table of Contents
In addition, our Affiliates depend heavily on the services of key principals who, in many cases, have managed their firms
for many years. These principals often are primarily responsible for their firm’s investment decisions. Although we use a
combination of economic incentives, transfer restrictions and, in some instances, non-solicitation, non-competition, and
employment agreements in an effort to retain key Affiliate personnel, there is no guarantee that these principals will remain
with their firms or refrain from competing with us if they depart their firms. The market for highly skilled professionals in the
investment management industry is highly competitive, particularly in alternative strategies. Further, the departure of key
individuals at an Affiliate could also cause investors to reduce or terminate their investments in such Affiliates’ funds or
products, or trigger certain provisions tied to the departure of, or cessation of committed time, by specified persons (known as
“key person” provisions) in the documentation governing certain Affiliate products and funds, which could permit the
suspension or termination of those products’ investment periods. Since certain of our Affiliates contribute more significantly to
our results than other Affiliates, the loss of key personnel at these Affiliates could have a disproportionately adverse impact on
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Equity markets and our common stock have been volatile.
The market price of our common stock has experienced and may continue to experience volatility, and the broader equity
markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant price and volume fluctuations. In addition,
announcements of our financial and operating results or other material information, including changes in net client cash flows
and assets under management, announcements and activity regarding our share repurchase programs, changes in our financial
guidance or our failure to meet such guidance, our new investments activity, changes in general conditions in the economy or
the financial markets, perceptions regarding our environmental, social, and governance profile or sustainable investment
decisions of our Affiliates, and other developments affecting us, our Affiliates, or our competitors, as well as geopolitical,
social, regulatory, capital markets, economic, public health, and other factors unrelated to us, could cause the market price of
our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
The sale or issuance of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the expectation that such sales or issuances will occur,
could adversely impact the price of our common stock.
The sale or issuance of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely impact its price. In
connection with our financing activities, we have issued junior convertible trust preferred securities and maintain an equity
distribution program, either of which may result in the issuance of our common stock upon the occurrence of certain events.
We also have outstanding option and restricted stock awards that have been granted under our share-based incentive plans.
Additionally, we have the right to settle certain Affiliate equity purchase obligations with shares of our common stock.
Moreover, in connection with future financing activities, we may issue additional convertible securities or shares of our
common stock, including through forward equity transactions. Any such issuance of shares of our common stock could have
the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current equity holders. In the event that a large number of shares of our
common stock are sold or issued in the public market, or the expectation that such sales or issuances will occur, the price of our
common stock may decline as a result.
Provisions in our organizational documents, Delaware law, and other factors could delay or prevent a change in control of
the Company, or adversely affect our financial results in periods prior to and following a change in control.
Provisions in our charter and by-laws and anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law could discourage, delay, or prevent
an unsolicited change in control of the Company. These provisions may also have the effect of making it more difficult for
third parties to replace our executive officers without the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions include:
•the ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the terms, rights, and preferences of the
preferred stock without stockholder approval;
•the prohibition on the right of stockholders to call meetings or act by written consent and limitations on the right of
stockholders to present proposals or make nominations at stockholder meetings; and
•legal restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15 percent or more of our
outstanding common stock.
Further, given our long-term innovative partnership approach with our Affiliates, which is designed to maintain their
independence and autonomy, and, therefore, their unique entrepreneurial and investment-centric cultures, a change in control
14
Table of Contents
may be viewed negatively by our Affiliates, impacting their relationships with us. Additionally, the disposition of certain of our
Affiliates following a change in control could result in the immediate realization of taxes owed on any excess proceeds above
our tax basis in the relevant Affiliate, which could impact the valuation a third-party may apply to us in a change in control.
Any of the forgoing factors may inhibit a change in control in circumstances that could give our stockholders the opportunity to
realize a premium over the market price of our common stock, or may result in negative impacts on our financial results in
periods prior to and following a change in control.
In addition, a change in control of the Company or the acquisition of a large ownership position in shares of our
outstanding common stock by a single holder may constitute a change in control for certain of our Affiliates for purposes of the
Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act. In that case, absent client consents, the Affiliate’s management agreements
may be deemed to be “assigned” in violation of the agreement and, for mutual fund clients, will terminate. We cannot be
certain that any required client consents (which the impacted Affiliates would need to be involved in requesting) would be
obtained if such a change of control occurs. Any termination, deemed assignment or renegotiation of any of our Affiliates’
management agreements could result in a reduction in our assets under management or the fees payable to our Affiliates and,
ultimately, our aggregate fees. Further, certain of our Affiliates operate regulated businesses in jurisdictions outside of the U.S.
that, in some cases, require regulatory notifications and other filings if a single stockholder acquires an ownership position in
the Company exceeding certain specified thresholds, regardless of whether a change in control has occurred for purposes of the
Advisers Act or the Investment Company Act. Such an ownership position could also trigger approvals under FINRA, for
Affiliates operating a broker-dealer in the U.S. As a result, a large ownership position in our stock, whether or not resulting in a
change of control of the Company, could result in increased regulatory reporting and compliance costs, and potential
restrictions on our or our Affiliates’ business activities, and could reduce the fees that our Affiliates receive under investment
management contracts, any of which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations.
LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS
Our and our Affiliates’ businesses are highly regulated.
Our and our Affiliates’ businesses are subject to complex and extensive regulation by regulatory and self-regulatory
authorities and exchanges in various jurisdictions around the world, which, for our Affiliates and our U.S. wealth distribution
subsidiary, include those applicable to investment advisers, as detailed in “Government Regulation” in Item 1. Applicable laws,
rules and regulations impose requirements, restrictions, and limitations on our and our Affiliates’ businesses, and can result in
significant compliance and operational costs. Further, this regulatory environment may be altered without notice by new laws
or regulations, revisions to existing laws or regulations, or new or revised interpretations, g uidance, or enforcement priorities.
Any determination of a failure to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations could expose us, our Affiliates, or our
respective employees to civil liability, criminal liability, or disciplinary or enforcement action, with penalties that could include
the disgorgement of fees, fines, sanctions, suspensions, termination of adviser status, or censure of individual employees or
revocation or limitation of business activities or registration, and may result in monetary losses that are not covered by
insurance in adequate amounts or at all, any of which could have an adverse impact on our stock price, financial condition, and
results of operations. Further, if we, any of our Affiliates, or our respective employees or third-party service providers were to
fail to comply with applicable laws, rules, or regulations, or be named as a subject of an investigation or other regulatory action,
the public announcement and potential publicity surrounding any such failure, investigation, or action could have an adverse
effect on our or our Affiliates’ reputations and on our stock price and result in increased costs, even if we, our Affiliates, or our
respective employees or third-party service providers were found not to have violated such laws, rules, or regulations.
Recently implemented and proposed regulations globally have called for more stringent oversight of the financial services
industry in which we and our Affiliates operate. In the U.S., the new presidential administration may shift enforcement
priorities under existing regulations, alter existing regulations, or pursue additional rulemaking impacting the financial services
industry, whereas certain state and other governmental entities may seek to maintain existing, or implement potentially more
rigorous, regulatory requirements in response, which, coupled with legal challenges to a number of significant regulations and
judicial decisions regarding administrative law, may create uncertainty or lead to divergent interpretations of law, or change the
requirements applicable to our and our Affiliates’ businesses. The SEC also continues to focus on issues related to the
valuation of private funds, including consistent application of the methodology, disclosure, and conflicts of interest, in its
enforcement, examination, and rulemaking activities. These and other regulatory developments could adversely affect our and
our Affiliates’ businesses, increase compliance and operational costs, require that we or our Affiliates change or curtail
operations or investment offerings, or impact our and our Affiliates’ access to capital and the market for our common stock.
15
Table of Contents
Further, in recent years, regulators in the U.S., the UK, and other jurisdictions have expanded rules and devoted greater
resources and attention to the enforcement of anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws, and while we and our Affiliates
have developed and implemented policies and procedures designed to comply with these rules, such policies and procedures
may not be effective in all instances to prevent violations.
Our and our Affiliates’ international operations are subject to foreign risks, including political, regulatory, economic, and
currency risks.
We and certain of our Affiliates conduct business outside the U.S., and a number of our Affiliates are based or have offices
outside the U.S. and, accordingly, are subject to risks inherent in doing business internationally. These risks may include
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, longer payment cycles, difficulties in collecting investment advisory
and other fees receivable, different (and in some cases less stringent) legal, regulatory and accounting regimes, political
instability, exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, expatriation controls, expropriation risks, and potential adverse
tax consequences. For example, regulations in the European Union (the “EU”) pertaining to the integration of environmental,
social, and governance topics into, among other things, the organizational, risk, and governance arrangements of certain
financial entities, and increased disclosure requirements with regard to such factors generally, may materially impact the
investment management industry in member states that have adopted, or may in the future adopt, such legislation. Conversely,
opposition to environmental, social, and governance initiatives has gained momentum in the U.S., with several states and
Congress having proposed or enacted policies, legislation, or initiatives opposing such efforts. The dynamic nature of
environmental, social, and governance-related regulations could impact our or our Affiliates’ businesses, increase regulatory
and compliance costs, and adversely affect our profitability, which effects could be exacerbated in the event of regulatory
uncertainty or conflicting or inconsistent regulatory guidance related thereto, including in the U.S. and the UK, as applicable.
In addition, as a result of operating internationally, certain of our Affiliates and our global capital distribution platform are
subject to requirements under foreign regulations to maintain minimum levels of capital. Such capital requirements may be
increased from time to time with limited advance notice, which may have the effect of limiting withdrawals of capital and the
payment of distributions to us or, if there were a significant change in the required capital or an extraordinary loss or charge
against net capital at a particular Affiliate, could adversely impact such Affiliate’s ability to expand or maintain operations.
These or other risks related to our and our Affiliates’ international operations may have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
Changes in tax laws or exposure to additional tax liabilities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, and results of operations.
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, and our
Affiliates are generally subject to taxes in the jurisdictions in which they operate. Tax laws, regulations and administrative
practices in these jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, and significant judgment is required
in estimating and evaluating tax provisions and accruals. Our and our Affiliates’ effective tax rates could be affected by a
change in the mix of earnings with differing statutory tax rates, changes to our or their existing businesses, and changes in
relevant tax, accounting or other laws, regulations, administrative practices, and interpretations. In the U.S., the new
presidential administration has indicated that it may pursue various tax reform proposals, which, if ultimately enacted into
legislation, could materially impact our tax provision, deferred tax assets, and tax liabilities, or impact decisions on how to
return value to stockholders in the most efficient manner. Further, a portion of our earnings is from outside of the U.S., and the
foreign government agencies in jurisdictions in which we and our Affiliates do business continue to focus on the taxation of
multinational companies, and could implement changes to their tax laws. For example, the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (“OECD”) has agreed to a two-pillar approach to global taxation focusing on global profit
allocation, referred to as Pillar One, and a 15% global minimum corporate tax rate (“Pillar Two”), effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 31, 2023. Many countries, including jurisdictions in which we or our Affiliates do business,
are enacting changes to their tax laws to adopt certain portions of the OECD’s proposals. The potential effects may vary
depending on the specific provisions and rules implemented by each jurisdiction. We cannot predict future changes in the tax
laws, regulations, administrative guidance, or judicial decisions to which we and our Affiliates are subject or that could apply to
our and our Affiliates’ businesses, and any changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws, regulations, accounting standards or
administrative practices, or the release of additional guidance, interpretations or other information, including in connection with
Pillar Two or otherwise, could impact our estimated effective tax rate and overall tax expense, as well as our earnings estimates,
and could result in adjustments to our treatment of deferred taxes, including the realization or value thereof, or in unanticipated
additional tax liabilities, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
16
Table of Contents
In addition, we and our Affiliates may be subject to tax examinations by certain federal, state, and foreign tax authorities.
We regularly assess the likely outcomes of examinations that we are subject to, in order to determine the appropriateness of our
tax provision; however, tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken or may take, and may assess
additional taxes and/or penalties and interest. There can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of any
examinations and the actual outcomes could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We or our Affiliates may be involved in legal proceedings and regulatory matters from time to time, and we may be held
responsible for liabilities incurred by certain of our Affiliates.
Our operating agreements with our Affiliates provide for governance structures that give Affiliate management the
authority to manage and operate their businesses on a day-to-day basis, including investment management operations,
marketing, product development, client relationships, employee matters, compensation programs, and compliance activities. As
a consequence, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by problems stemming from the day-
to-day operations of our Affiliates that we are not involved in, and where weaknesses or failures in internal processes or
systems, legal or regulatory matters, or other operational challenges could lead to a disruption or cessation of our Affiliates’
operations, liability to their clients, exposure to claims or disciplinary action, or reputational harm.
Certain of our Affiliates are limited liability companies or limited partnerships (or equivalent non-U.S. forms) of which we,
or entities controlled by us, are the managing member or general partner (or equivalent). Consequently, to the extent that any of
these Affiliates incur liabilities or expenses that exceed their ability to pay for them, we may be directly or indirectly liable for
their payment. Similarly, an Affiliate’s payment of distributions to us may be subject to claims by potential creditors, and an
Affiliate may default on distributions that are payable to us. In addition, with respect to each of these Affiliates, we may be
held liable in some circumstances as a control person for the acts of the Affiliate or its employees. Further, we also conduct
compliance, governance, and operational activities, including with respect to distribution, sales, and marketing, through our
U.S. wealth and global distribution platforms to extend the reach of our Affiliates, and any liability arising in connection with
these activities, whether as a result of our own actions or the actions of our participating Affiliates or third-party service
providers, could result in direct liability to us. Accordingly, we and our Affiliates may face various claims, litigation, or
complaints from time to time, and we cannot predict the eventual outcome of such matters, some of which may be resolved in a
manner unfavorable to us or our Affiliates, or whether any such matters could become material to a particular Affiliate or us in
any reporting period. See “Legal Proceedings” in Item 3. While we and our Affiliates maintain errors and omissions and
general liability insurance in amounts believed to be adequate to cover potential liabilities, we cannot be certain that we or our
Affiliates will not have claims or related expenses that exceed the limits of available insurance coverage, that the insurers will
remain solvent and will meet their obligations to provide coverage, or that insurance coverage will continue to be available to us
and our Affiliates with sufficient limits and at a reasonable cost. Any legal proceedings or regulatory matters that we or our
Affiliates are subject to could, whether with or without merit, be time consuming and expensive to defend and could divert
management attention and resources, and could result in judgments, findings, settlements, or allegations of wrongdoing that
could adversely affect our or their reputation, current and future business relationships, and our financial condition and results
of operations.
Our or our Affiliates’ controls and procedures and risk management policies may be inadequate, fail or be circumvented,
and operational risk could adversely affect our or our Affiliates’ reputation and financial position.
We and our Affiliates have adopted various controls, procedures, policies, and systems to monitor and manage risk in our
and their businesses. While we currently believe that our and our Affiliates’ operational controls, including controls over
compliance and over financial reporting, are effective, we cannot provide assurance that those controls, procedures, policies,
and systems will always be adequate to identify and manage the internal and external risks in our and our Affiliates’ various
businesses. Furthermore, we or our Affiliates may have errors in business processes or fail to implement proper procedures in
operating our respective businesses, which may expose us or our Affiliates to risk of financial loss or failure to comply with
regulatory requirements. Additionally, although we and our Affiliates have systems and practices in place to monitor our
respective third-party service providers, such third parties are subject to similar risks. For example, as we and our Affiliates
increasingly rely on outsourced support services, including for certain fund administration and compliance functions, any
disruptions or operational difficulties by such service providers (including to their information technology infrastructure), and
our or our Affiliates’ inability to make alternative arrangements in a timely manner, could result in significant disruption to our
respective business operations. We and our Affiliates, as well as our respective third-party service providers, are also subject to
the risk that employees or contractors, or other third parties, may deliberately seek to circumvent established controls to commit
fraud or act in ways that are inconsistent with our or their controls, policies, and procedures, and which may be harder to
monitor in remote work environments. The financial and reputational impact of control failures can be significant.

In addition, our and our Affiliates’ businesses and the markets in which we and our Affiliates operate are continuously
evolving. For example, the use of AI technologies by us, our Affiliates, or our respective third-party service providers could
result in new and expanded risks, particularly as the use of AI applications increases in prevalence and scope. Failure by us to
effectively manage the development and use of AI, our competitors’ development or use of AI, and an evolving AI regulatory
environment could have an adverse effect on our growth prospects, reputation, or business and results of operations. If our or
our Affiliates’ risk frameworks are ineffective, either because of a failure to keep pace with changes in the financial markets,
technological advancements, or regulatory requirements, our or our Affiliates’ businesses, counterparties, clients, or respective
third-party service providers, or for other reasons, we or our Affiliates could incur losses, suffer reputational damage, or be out
of compliance with applicable regulatory or contractual mandates or expectations.
Failure to maintain and properly safeguard an adequate technology infrastructure may limit our or our Affiliates’ growth,
result in losses or disrupt our or our Affiliates’ businesses.
Our and our Affiliates’ businesses are reliant upon financial, accounting, and technology systems and networks to process,
transmit, and store information, including sensitive client and proprietary information, and to conduct many business activities
and transactions with clients, advisers, regulators, vendors, and other third parties. The failure to implement, maintain, and
safeguard an infrastructure commensurate with the size and scope of our and our Affiliates’ businesses could impede
productivity and growth, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Further, we and our
Affiliates rely on third parties for certain aspects of our respective businesses, including financial intermediaries, providers of
technology infrastructure, and other service providers such as broker-dealers, custodians, administrators and other agents, as
well as accounting, legal, and other professional advisors, and these parties are susceptible to similar risks.
Our computer systems, software, internal and cloud-based networks, and mobile devices are vulnerable to cyber-attacks,
data privacy or security breaches, phishing schemes and related fraud attempts, ransomware, social engineering, unauthorized
access, theft, misuse, computer viruses, or other malicious code and other events that could have a security impact. Any such
cyber-attacks could have a material impact on our financial conditions or results of operations. Further, third parties on whom
we and our Affiliates rely, including those providing cloud-based network services, may have similar vulnerabilities and may
lack the necessary infrastructure or resources, or may otherwise fail, to adequately protect against or respond to any cyber-
attacks, data breaches, or other incidents. If any such events occur, it could jeopardize confidential, proprietary, or other
sensitive information of ours, our Affiliates and our respective clients, employees or counterparties that may be stored in, or
transmitted through, internal or third-party computer systems, networks, and mobile devices, or could otherwise cause
interruptions or malfunctions in our and our Affiliates’ operations or those of our respective clients or counterparties, or in the
operations of third parties on whom we and our Affiliates rely. The advancement of AI has given rise to additional
vulnerabilities and potential entry points for cyber threats, providing threat actors with additional tools to automate attacks,
evade detection, generate sophisticated phishing emails, or impersonate legitimate businesses or individuals. Despite efforts to
ensure the integrity of systems and networks, it is possible that we, our Affiliates, or our respective third-party service providers
may not be able to anticipate or to implement effective preventive measures against all threats, especially because the
techniques used change frequently and can originate from a wide variety of sources. Further, human errors may occur from
time to time at our third-party service providers’ staff or among our or our Affiliates’ employees, which can lead to or
exacerbate security vulnerabilities or attacks. The increasing frequency, scope, and sophistication of these cyber threats, and
involvement of large criminal organizations that share tactics and strategies, including in foreign jurisdictions in which we and
our Affiliates operate, along with the continued reliance on work-from-home environments, personal mobile and computing
technologies, and third-party web conferencing services, have increased exposures to these security-related risks. As a result,
we or our Affiliates could experience disruption, significant losses, increased costs, reputational harm, regulatory actions, or
legal liability, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We or our
Affiliates may be required to spend significant additional resources to modify protective measures or to investigate and
remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures, and may be subject to litigation, regulatory investigations, and potential fines, and
financial losses that are either not insured against fully or not fully covered through any insurance that we or our Affiliates
maintain. Additionally, given our business model of providing our Affiliates with autonomy in managing their businesses, we
do not control, and may have limited involvement in, the design, oversight, and maintenance of their technology systems and
networks, as well as in the identification of or response to any cyber-attacks, data breaches, or other incidents. See
“Cybersecurity” in Item 1C.
Further, government and regulatory oversight of data privacy in particular has become a priority for regulators around the
world, including as examples, through the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the California Privacy Rights Act,
resulting in heightened data security and handling requirements, increased enforcement risk and fines, increased compliance
costs, and expanded incident response and reporting obligations. More recently, the SEC has implemented new rules related to
18
Table of Contents
cybersecurity risk management for public companies and may implement similar new rules for registered investment advisers,
broker-dealers, and funds, which have resulted or may result, as applicable, in increased disclosure requirements, obligations to
report certain cybersecurity incidents to the SEC, and liabilities related to our and our Affiliates’ technology systems and
networks. Recent well-publicized security breaches and service outages at other companies have exemplified security-related
vulnerabilities, and may lead to further government and regulatory scrutiny and heightened security requirements both in the
U.S. and in other jurisdictions in which we and our Affiliates operate.
Item 1B.Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C.Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall risk management framework. We regularly
assess risks from cybersecurity threats, monitor our information systems for potential vulnerabilities, and test those systems
pursuant to our cybersecurity policies, processes, and practices. To protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats,
we use various security tools that help us identify, escalate, investigate, resolve, and recover from security incidents in a timely
manner.
We recognize the importance of protecting information assets such as the personally identifiable information of our
employees, and proprietary business information regarding our Affiliates and their clients, and have adopted policies,
management oversight, accountability structures, and technology processes designed to safeguard this information. All of our
employees are required to attest annually to our information security policies and participate in regular security awareness
training to protect their information and the AMG data and systems to which they have access. These trainings also instruct
employees on how to report any potential privacy or data security issues.
Our information security organization comprises internal and external resources designed to identify, protect, detect,
mitigate, resolve, and recover from various threats and attacks by malicious actors. We leverage 24x7x365 monitoring tools
and services to address the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AMG assets and data. Regular internal and third-party
reviews are performed on our processes and technologies to validate the effectiveness of our privacy and data security controls
and safeguards. We monitor industry best practices and developments in data privacy and security and have increased scrutiny
of third-party service providers with access to sensitive AMG data, including through security risk assessments at the time of
initial contract, periodically as part of our third-party risk management process, and upon detection of an increase in the
vendor’s risk profile. In addition, we require key providers to meet appropriate security requirements and controls, and we
investigate security incidents that have impacted our third-party providers, as appropriate. We also have our own fully
documented proprietary security incident response plan, with defined roles and responsibilities that address notification
obligations and incident response procedures in the event of a data security breach. We are dedicated to business continuity and
resiliency, and have documented strategies, policies, and procedures in place designed to protect employee, business, Affiliate,
and Affiliate client data in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.
Although we provide our Affiliates with operational autonomy in managing their businesses and may have limited
involvement in the design, oversight, and maintenance of their respective technology systems and networks, we offer
cybersecurity support to Affiliates through our information security program, including with respect to conducting Affiliate
program assessments and assisting, as appropriate and practicable, in their identification of, and response to, an actual or
suspected cybersecurity incident. Additionally, prior to any investment in a new Affiliate, we conduct a diligence review of its
information security program.
We work with third-party service providers to proactively assess our information security program and provide us with an
industry view of the cyberthreat landscape, in addition to monitoring and supporting our control environment and breach
notification and response processes.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, cybersecurity threats have not materially affected and we believe are
not reasonably likely to materially affect AMG, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
Refer to the risk factor captioned “Failure to maintain and properly safeguard an adequate technology infrastructure may limit
our or our Affiliates’ growth, result in losses or disrupt our or our Affiliates’ businesses” in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for
more information regarding cybersecurity risks and potential related impacts on AMG.

Table of Contents
Governance
We have a formal information security program, designed to develop and maintain privacy and data security practices to
protect AMG assets and sensitive third-party information, including personal and Affiliate information. This program is
governed by a committee comprising members of senior management, including our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”), which
meets regularly and reports to the Board of Directors at least annually (the “Information Security Governance Committee”).
Members of the Information Security Governance Committee oversee communications with the Board of Directors regarding
material cybersecurity incidents and provide the Board with a summary of risks from current cybersecurity threats on a regular
basis, as well as updates on management’s information security program oversight and maintenance activities, and any material
changes to AMG’s information security practices and procedures. The Board of Directors is also regularly provided with
cybersecurity educational sessions, including perspectives from external advisors that are invited to present on current
cybersecurity topics.
We take a risk-based approach to cybersecurity and have implemented policies throughout our operations that are designed
to address cybersecurity threats and our response to actual or suspected incidents. In particular, the Information Security
Governance Committee is responsible for the ongoing identification and assessment of reasonably foreseeable cybersecurity
threats and based on these assessments, evaluating and overseeing the implementation of safeguards for limiting such risks,
including employee training and compliance, and detection and prevention mechanisms. If a cybersecurity incident occurs, the
Information Security Governance Committee will assemble an incident response team responsible for the identification,
remediation, and post-incident review of such incident, engage outside advisors and notify third parties as appropriate, and
assess the materiality of the nature, scope, and timing of a given incident and whether public disclosure is required.
The CIO, in coordination with the Information Security Governance Committee, is responsible for leading the assessment
and management of cybersecurity risks. The current CIO has over 25 years of experience in information security, including
serving as our CIO since 2016, and holds a B.A. in Business with a focus in Computer Science. The CIO reports to the Board
of Directors as part of the Information Security Governance Committee’s updates discussed above and regularly communicates
with the other members of the Information Security Governance Committee and senior management regarding cybersecurity
risks.
Item 2.Properties
We conduct our operations around the world using a combination of leased and owned facilities. While we believe we
have suitable property resources currently, we will continue to evaluate our property needs and will adjust these resources as
necessary. Our Affiliates also typically lease office space in the city or cities in which they conduct business, as appropriate for
their respective business needs.
Item 3.Legal Proceedings
Governmental and regulatory authorities in the U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we and our Affiliates operate regularly
make inquiries and administer examinations with respect to our and our Affiliates’ compliance with applicable laws and
regulations, and from time to time, we and our Affiliates may be parties to various claims, lawsuits, complaints, regulatory
investigations, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business.
Currently, there are no such claims, lawsuits, complaints, regulatory investigations, or other proceedings against us or our
Affiliates that, in our opinion, would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
However, there is no assurance as to whether or not any such matters could arise or have a material effect on our or our
Affiliates’ financial position, liquidity, or results of operations in any future reporting period.
Item 4.Mine Safety Disclosures

Executive Overview
AMG is a strategic partner to leading independent investment firms globally. Our strategy is to generate long-term value
by investing in high-quality independent partner-owned firms, which we refer to as “Affiliates,” through a proven partnership
approach, and allocating resources across our unique opportunity set to the areas of highest growth and return. With their
entrepreneurial, investment-centric cultures and alignment of interests with clients through direct equity ownership by firm
principals, independent firms have fundamental competitive advantages in offering unique return streams to the marketplace.
Through AMG’s distinctive approach, we enhance these advantages to magnify the long-term success of our Affiliates and
actively support their independence. Our innovative model enables each Affiliate’s management team to retain autonomy
and significant equity ownership in their firm, while they leverage our strategic capabilities and insight, including growth
capital, product strategy and development, capital formation, and incentive alignment and succession planning. As of
December 31, 2024, our aggregate assets under management were approximately $708 billion across a diverse range of
private markets, liquid alternatives, and differentiated long-only investment strategies.
On February 6, 2025, we announced the completion of our minority investment in NorthBridge Partners, LLC
(“NorthBridge”), a private markets manager specializing in industrial logistics real estate assets. Following the close of the
transaction, NorthBridge partners continue to hold a significant majority of the equity of the firm and direct its day-to-day
operations. The financial results will be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements one quarter in arrears.
Operating Performance Measures
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), we are required to consolidate certain of our
Affiliates and use the equity method of accounting for others. Whether we consolidate an Affiliate or use the equity method of
accounting, we maintain the same innovative partnership approach and provide support and assistance in substantially the same
manner for all of our Affiliates. Furthermore, all of our Affiliates are investment managers and are impacted by similar
marketplace factors and industry trends. Therefore, certain key aggregate operating performance measures are important in
providing management with a comprehensive view of the operating performance and material trends across our entire business.
The following table presents our key aggregate operating performance measures:

|  | As of and for the Years Ended December 31,
(in billions, except as noted) |  | 2022 |  | 2023 |  | % Change |  | 2024 |  | % Change
Assets under management . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |  | $650.8 |  | $672.7 |  | 3% |  | $707.9 |  | 5%
Average assets under management . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |  | 709.4 |  | 660.3 |  | (7)% |  | 700.5 |  | 6%
Aggregate fees (in millions) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |  | 5,560.5 |  | 5,066.6 |  | (9)% |  | 5,236.0 |  | 3%

Assets under management, and therefore average assets under management, include the assets under management of our
consolidated and equity method Affiliates. Assets under management is presented on a current basis without regard to the
timing of the inclusion of an Affiliate’s financial results in our operating performance measures and Consolidated Financial
Statements. Average assets under management reflects the timing of the inclusion of an Affiliate’s financial results in our
operating performance measures and Consolidated Financial Statements. Average assets under management for mutual funds
and similar investment products generally represents an average of the daily net assets under management, while for
23
Table of Contents
institutional and high net worth clients, average assets under management generally represents an average of the assets at the
beginning or end of each month during the applicable period.
Aggregate fees consist of the total asset- and performance-based fees earned by all of our consolidated and equity method
Affiliates. For certain of our Affiliates accounted for under the equity method, we report the Affiliate’s aggregate fees one
quarter in arrears. Aggregate fees are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Consolidated revenue or other GAAP
performance measures.
Assets Under Management
Our Affiliates manage capital on behalf of clients across a diverse range of investment strategies. Our Affiliates earn asset-
based fees on the capital that they manage and certain of our Affiliate’s strategies earn performance-based fees based on the
performance generated by their investment products. Assets under management increased du ring the year ended December 31,
2024, primarily driven by investment performance generated across our Affiliates, partially offset by net outflows. We
continue to see client demand for alternative strategies (both in private markets and liquid alternatives), as evidenced by our net
inflows in this category, but our equity strategies experienced net outflows in line with trends across the industry. As we
continue to invest in new and existing Affiliates, we expect to further evolve our business mix and better position AMG to
benefit from industry growth trends.
The following table presents changes in our assets under management by strategy:

|  | Alternatives |  | Differentiated Long-Only |  |
(in billions) |  | Private Markets |  | Liquid Alternatives |  | Equities(1) |  | Multi-Asset & Fixed Income |  | Total

___________________________
(1)Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance and AUM information is as of December 31, 2024 and is
based on data available at the time of calculation. Product returns are sourced from Affiliates while benchmark returns are
generally sourced via third-party subscriptions.
(2)For private markets products, performance is reported as the percentage of assets that have outperformed benchmarks on a
since-inception internal rate of return basis. Benchmarks utilized include a combination of public market equivalents, peer
medians, and absolute returns where benchmarks are not available. For purposes of investment performance comparisons,
the latest vintage comparison includes the most recent vehicles and strategies (traditional long-duration investment funds,
customized vehicles, and other evergreen vehicles and product structures) where meaningful performance is available and
calculable. In order to illustrate the performance of our private markets product category over a longer period of history,
the last three vintages comparison incorporates the latest vintage vehicles and the prior two vintages for traditional long-
duration investment funds, as well as additional vehicles and strategies launched during the equivalent time period as the
last three vintages of traditional long-duration investment funds. Due to the nature of these investments and vehicles,
reported performance is typically on a three- to six-month lag basis.
(3)For liquid alternative and equity products, performance is reported as the percentage of assets that have outperformed
benchmarks across the indicated periods, and excludes market-hedging products. For purposes of investment performance
comparisons, products are an aggregation of portfolios (separate accounts, investment funds, and other products) that each
represent a particular investment objective, using the most representative portfolio for the performance comparison.
Performance is presented for products with a three-, five-, and/or ten-year track record and is measured on a consistent
basis relative to the most appropriate benchmarks. Benchmark appropriateness is generally reviewed annually to reflect
any changes in how underlying portfolios/mandates are managed. Product and benchmark performance is reflected as total
return and is annualized. Reported product performance is gross-of-fees for institutional and high-net-worth separate
accounts, and generally net-of-fees across retail funds and other commingled vehicles such as hedge funds.
(4)Multi-asset and fixed income products are mainly our wealth management and solutions offerings. These investment
products are primarily customized toward wealth preservation, estate planning, and liability and tax management, and
therefore are typically not measured against a benchmark.
Aggregate Fees
Aggregate fees consist of asset- and performance-based fees of our consolidated and equity method Affiliates. Asset-based
fees include advisory and other fees earned by our Affiliates for services provided to their clients and are typically determined
as a percentage of the value of a client’s assets under management, generally inclusive of uncalled commitments. Asset-based
fees are generally impacted by the level of average assets under management and the composition of these assets across our
strategies with different asset-based fee ratios. Our asset-based fee ratio is calculated as asset-based fees divided by average
assets under management.
In some cases, if product returns exceed certain performance thresholds, we will participate in performance-based fees.
Performance-based fees are based on investment performance, typically on an absolute basis or relative to a benchmark or
hurdle rate, and are generally recognized when it is improbable that there will be a significant reversal in the amount of revenue
recognized. Performance-based fees are generally recognized less frequently than asset-based fees and will vary from period to
period because they inherently depend on investment performance. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 27% of our total
assets under management could potentially earn performance-based fees. These percentages were approximately 12% and 47%
of our assets under management for our consolidated Affiliates and Affiliates accounted for under the equity method,
respectively. We anticipate performance-based fees will be a recurring component of our aggregate fees; however we do not
anticipate these fees to be a significant component of our Consolidated revenue as these fees are predominately earned by our
Affiliates accounted for under the equity method.
Aggregate fees were $5,236.0 million in 2024, an increase of $169.4 million or 3% as compared to 2023. The increase in
our aggregate fees was due to a $323.1 million or 6% increase from asset-based fees, offset by a $153.7 million or 3% decrease
from performance-based fees, primarily in our liquid alternative strategies. The increase in asset-based fees was principally due
to an increase in our average assets under management, primarily in our liquid alternative and private markets strategies, and
changes in the composition of our assets under management primarily driven by investments in new Affiliates.

Financial and Supplemental Financial Performance Measures
The following table presents our key financial and supplemental financial performance measures:

___________________________
(1)Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) and Economic net income (controlling interest) are non-GAAP performance
measures and are discussed in “Supplemental Financial Performance Measures.”
Net income (controlling interest) decreased $161.3 million or 24% in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the
recognition of a $133.1 million pre-tax gain associated with the sale of our equity interest in Veritable, LP, one of our
consolidated Affiliates, in the third quarter of 2023 (the “Veritable Transaction”) and a $38.3 million decrease in Investment
and other income attributable to the controlling interest.
Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) is an important supplemental financial performance measure for management as it
provides a comprehensive view of our share of the financial performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA (controlling
interest) increased $37.4 million or 4% in 2024, primarily from investments in new Affiliates and the recognition of
performance-based fees earned by Affiliates in which we hold a greater economic interest.
We believe Economic net income (controlling interest) is an important supplemental financial performance measure
because it represents our performance before non-cash expenses primarily related to our acquisition of interests in Affiliates and
improves comparability of performance between periods. Economic net income (controlling interest) decreased $16.2 million
or 2% in 2024, primarily due to a $32.8 million increase in current and other deferred taxes attributable to the controlling
interest and a $9.5 million increase in Interest expense attributable to the controlling interest. These decreases were partially
offset by a $37.4 million or 4% increase in Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest).
Results of Operations
The following discussion includes the key operating performance measures and financial results of our consolidated and
equity method Affiliates. Our consolidated Affiliates’ financial results are included in our Consolidated revenue, Consolidated
expenses, and Investment and other income, and our share of our equity method Affiliates’ financial results is reported, net of
intangible amortization and impairments, in Equity method income (net).
Consolidated Revenue
Our Consolidated revenue is derived from our consolidated Affiliates, primarily from asset-based fees from investment
management services. For these Affiliates, we typically use operating structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s
revenue without regard to expenses. Consolidated revenue is generally determined by the level of our consolidated Affiliates’
average assets under management and the composition of these assets across our consolidated Affiliates’ investment strategies
with different asset-based fee ratios and performance-based fees.
The following table presents our consolidated Affiliates’ average assets under management and Consolidated revenue:

|  | For the Years Ended December 31,

Our Consolidated revenue decreased $16.9 million or 1% in 2024, primarily due to a $20.3 million or 1% decrease from
asset-based fees. The decrease in asset-based fees was principally due to changes in the composition of our assets under

management, including the impact of the Veritable Transaction, partially offset by an increase in our consolidated Affiliate
average assets under management, primarily in our private markets strategies.
Consolidated Expenses
The following table presents our Consolidated expenses:

Compensation and related expenses increased $7.8 million or 1% in 2024, primarily due to a $16.3 million increase in
compensation accruals and a $6.9 million increase in Affiliate equity compensation expense. These increases were partially
offset by a $16.0 million decrease in compensation and related expenses due to the Veritable Transaction.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $18.3 million or 5% in 2024, primarily due to a $22.4 million
increase in distribution and investment-related expenses, principally as a result of the increase in average assets under
management on which these expenses are incurred. This increase was partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in professional
fees and a $1.6 million decrease in non-income based taxes.
Intangible amortization and impairments decreased $19.3 million or 40% in 2024, primarily due to a $14.1 million
decrease in amortization expense related to certain definite-lived assets being fully amortized and a $5.0 million decrease due to
the Veritable Transaction.
Interest expense increased $9.5 million or 8% in 2024, primarily due to a $23.8 million increase from our 6.75% junior
subordinated notes issued in March 2024 (the “2064 junior subordinated notes”) and an $8.1 million increase from our 5.50%
senior unsecured notes issued in August 2024 (the “2034 senior notes”). These increases were partially offset by a $15.5
million decrease due to the maturity of our 4.25% senior notes in February 2024 (the “2024 senior notes”) and an $8.2 million
decrease due to the repayment of our senior unsecured term loan facility (the “term loan”).
There were no significant changes to Depreciation and other amortization in 2024.
Other expenses (net) decreased $5.5 million or 12% in 2024, primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in expenses related to
changes in the values of contingent payment obligations and a $1.5 million decrease in rent and related office costs.
Equity Method Income (Net)
When we do not own a controlling equity interest in an Affiliate, but have significant influence, we account for our interest
in the Affiliate under the equity method. Our share of earnings or losses from Affiliates accounted for under the equity method
(“equity method earnings”), net of amortization and impairments, is included in Equity method income (net). For certain of our
Affiliates accounted for under the equity method, we report the Affiliate’s financial results in our Consolidated Financial
Statements one quarter in arrears.
For a majority of these Affiliates, we use operating structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s revenue less
agreed-upon expenses. We also use operating structures where we contractually share in the Affiliate’s revenue without regard
to expenses.
Our equity method revenue is derived primarily from asset- and performance-based fees from investment management
services earned by our equity method Affiliates. Equity method revenue incorporates the total asset- and performance-based
fees earned by all of our Affiliates accounted for under the equity method and is generally determined by the level of our equity
method Affiliate average assets under management and the composition of these assets across our strategies with different
asset-based fee ratios and performance-based fees. Our Affiliates accounted for under the equity method manage a greater
27

proportion of assets subject to performance-based fees than our consolidated Affiliates and, as a result, equity method revenue
will generally have more performance-based fees than Consolidated revenue.
The following table presents equity method Affiliate average assets under management and equity method Affiliate
revenue (“equity method revenue”), as well as equity method earnings, equity method intangible amortization, and equity
method intangible impairments, if any, which in aggregate form Equity method income (net):

___________________________
(1)Percent change is not meaningful.
Our equity method revenue increased $186.3 million or 6% in 2024, due to a $343.4 million or 11% increase from asset-
based fees, offset by a $157.1 million or 5% decrease from performance-based fees, primarily in our liquid alternative
strategies. The increase in asset-based fees was principally due to an increase in our equity method Affiliate average assets
under management, primarily in our liquid alternative and private markets strategies, and changes in the composition of our
assets under management primarily driven by investments in new Affiliates.
Equity method earning s increased $67.1 million or 18% in 2024, primarily due to a $186.3 million or 6% increase in equity
method revenue. Equity method earnings increased more than equity method revenue on a percentage basis primarily due to an
increase in earnings at certain Affiliates in which we share in revenue less agreed-upon expenses and the recognition of
performance-based fees earned by Affiliates in which we hold a greater economic interest.
Equity method intangible amortization increased $4.1 million or 5% in 2024, primarily due to a $19.5 million increase in
amortization expense due to investments in new Affiliates and a $17.9 million increase in amortization expense due to a
decrease in actual and expected client attrition for certain definite-lived acquired client relationships. These increases were
partially offset by a $33.3 million decrease in amortization expense related to certain definite-lived assets being fully amortized.
Equity method intangible impairments increased $30.3 million in 2024. See Note 8 of our Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Affiliate Transaction Gains
For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, we recorded gains of $641.9 million on the sale of our equity interest in
Baring Private Equity Asia ("BPEA") to EQT AB ("EQT"), a public company listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm (EQT.ST) (the
"BPEA Transaction"), in connection with the strategic combination of BPEA and EQT, which was completed in the fourth
quarter of 2022, and $133.1 million on the Veritable Transaction, respectively. See Notes 7 and 8 of our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Investment and Other Income

28
Table of Contents
Investment and other income decreased $39.7 million or 34% in 2024, primarily due to a $35.3 million decrease in net
realized and unrealized gains on investments in marketable securities.
Income Tax Expense
The following table presents our Income tax expense:

Our consolidated income tax provision includes taxes attributable to the controlling interest and, to a lesser extent, taxes
attributable to the non-controlling interests.
Income tax expense decreased $2.7 million or 1% in 2024. Our effective rate (controlling interest) for the year ended
December 31, 2024 was 25.5% as compared to 20.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in the tax rate
(controlling interest) was primarily due to discrete foreign tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2023, and an expense
to reduce the carrying value of an Affiliate to fair value for which no tax benefit was recorded, partially offset by higher tax
windfalls attributable to share-based compensation, for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Net Income
The following table presents Net income, Net income (non-controlling interests), and Net income (controlling interest):

Net income (controlling interest) decreased $161.3 million or 24% in 2024, primarily due to the recognition of a pre-tax
gain associated with the Veritable Transaction in the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease in Investment and other income
attributable to the controlling interest.
Supplemental Financial Performance Measures
As supplemental information to our GAAP performance measures, including Net income (see Note 21 of our Consolidated
Financial Statements), we provide non-GAAP performance measures of Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest), Economic net
income (controlling interest), and Economic earnings per share. We believe that many investors use our Adjusted EBITDA
(controlling interest) when comparing our financial performance to other companies in the investment management industry.
Management utilizes these non-GAAP performance measures to assess our performance before our share of certain non-cash
GAAP expenses primarily related to the acquisition of interests in Affiliates and to improve comparability between periods.
Economic net income (controlling interest) and Economic earnings per share are used by management and our Board of
Directors as our principal performance benchmarks, including as one of the measures for determining executive compensation.
These non-GAAP performance measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net income, Net income
(controlling interest), Earnings per share, or other GAAP performance measures.
Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest)
Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) represents our performance before our share of interest expense, income and
certain non-income based taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, gains and losses related to Affiliate Transactions, and
non-cash items such as certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses on our contingent payment obligations, and unrealized
gains and losses on seed capital, general partner commitments, and other strategic investments. Adjusted EBITDA (controlling
interest) is also adjusted to include realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general partner
commitments, and other strategic investments.

(2)The year ended December 31, 2022 includes BPEA Transaction gain of $641.9 million and realized and unrealized gains
on EQT ordinary shares of $43.8 million and $57.9 million, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2023 includes
Veritable Transaction gain of $133.1 million and realized gains on ordinary shares of EQT of $29.6 million.
(3)Other items include certain non-income based taxes, depreciation, and non-cash items such as certain Affiliate equity
activity, gains and losses on our contingent payment obligations, unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general
partner commitments, and other strategic investments, and realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital,
general partner commitments, and other strategic investments.
Economic Net Income (controlling interest) and Economic Earnings Per Share
Under our Economic net income (controlling interest) definition, we adjust Net income (controlling interest) for our share
of pre-tax intangible amortization and impairments related to intangible assets (including the portion attributable to equity
method investments in Affiliates) because these expenses do not correspond to the changes in the value of these assets, which
do not diminish predictably over time. We also adjust for deferred taxes attributable to intangible assets because we believe it
is unlikely these accruals will be used to settle material tax obligations. Further, we adjust for gains and losses related to
Affiliate Transactions, net of tax, and other economic items.
Economic earnings per share represents Economic net income (controlling interest) divided by the Average shares
outstanding (adjusted diluted). In this calculation, we exclude the potential shares issued upon settlement of Redeemable non-
controlling interests from Average shares outstanding (adjusted diluted) because we intend to settle those obligations without
issuing shares, consistent with all prior Affiliate equity purchase transactions. The potential share issuance in connection with
our junior convertible securities is measured using a “treasury stock” method. Under this method, only the net number of
shares of common stock equal to the value of these junior convertible securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be
outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in
available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of common stock) that occurs when these securities are
converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.

$29.6 million, net of $40.6 million income tax expense.
(4)Other economic items include certain Affiliate equity activity, gains and losses related to contingent payment obligations,
tax windfalls and shortfalls from share-based compensation, unrealized gains and losses on seed capital, general partner
commitments, and other strategic investments, and realized economic gains and losses related to these seed capital, general
partner commitments, and other strategic investments. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, other
economic items were net of income tax expense (benefit) of $(6.4) million, $5.2 million, and $4.1 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate long-term value by investing in new Affiliate partnerships, existing Affiliates, and strategic value-add
capabilities through which we can leverage our scale and resources to benefit our Affiliates and enhance their long-term growth
prospects. Given our annual cash generation from operations, in addition to investing for growth in our business, we are also
able to return excess capital to shareholders primarily through share repurchases. We continue to manage our capital structure
consistent with an investment grade company and are currently rated A3 by Moody’s Investors Service and BBB+ by S&P
Global Ratings.
Cash and cash equivalents were $950.0 million as of December 31, 2024 and were attributable to both our controlling and
the non-controlling interests. In 2024, we met our cash requirements primarily through cash generated by operating activities.
Our principal uses of cash in 2024 were for the return of excess capital through share repurchases, repayment of debt, purchases
of investment securities, and distributions to Affiliate equity holders.
We expect investments in new Affiliates, investments in existing Affiliates, primarily through purchases of Affiliate equity
interests and general partner and seed capital investments, the return of capital through share repurchases and the payment of
cash dividends on our common stock, repayment of debt, distributions to Affiliate equity holders, payment of income taxes,
purchases of marketable securities, and general working capital to be the primary uses of cash on a consolidated basis for the
foreseeable future. We anticipate that our current cash balance, cash flows from operations, proceeds from sales of our
marketable securities, and borrowings under our senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “revolver”) will
be sufficient to support our uses of cash for the foreseeable future. In addition, we may draw funding from the debt and equity
capital markets, and our credit ratings, among other factors, allow us to access these sources of funding on favorable terms.

Operating Cash Flow
Operating cash flows are calculated by adjusting Net income for other significant sources and uses of cash, significant non-
cash items, and timing differences in the cash settlement of assets and liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Cash flows from operating activities were $932.1 million, primarily from Net
income of $740.6 million and distributions of earnings received from equity method investments of $403.9 million. These
items were partially offset by timing differences in the cash settlement of receivables, other assets, and payables, accrued
liabilities, and other liabilities of $56.8 million. In 2024, operating cash flows were primarily attributable to the controlling
interest.
Investing Cash Flow
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Cash flows from investing activities were $379.1 million, primarily due to $898.1
million of maturities and sales of investment securities, partially offset by $510.4 million of purchases of investment securities.
In 2024, investing cash flows were primarily attributable to the controlling interest.
Financing Cash Flow
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Cash flows used in financing activities were $1,175.9 million, primarily due to
$709.8 million of repurchases of common stock, net, repayment of senior notes and senior bank debt of $400.0 million and
$350.0 million, respectively, $258.0 million of distributions to non-controlling interests, $100.2 million of Affiliate equity
purchases, net of issuances, and $98.7 million of deferred payments. These items were partially offset by the issuance of junior
subordinated notes and senior notes of $450.0 million and $397.6 million, respectively. In 2024, financing cash flows were
primarily attributable to the controlling interest.
Affiliate Equity
We periodically purchase Affiliate equity from and issue Affiliate equity to our consolidated Affiliate partners and other
parties under agreements that provide us with a conditional right to call and Affiliate equity holders with a conditional right to
put their Affiliate equity interests to us at certain intervals. We have the right to settle a portion of these purchases in shares of
our common stock. For Affiliates accounted for under the equity method, we do not typically have such put and call
arrangements. The purchase price of these conditional purchases is generally calculated based upon a multiple of the Affiliate’s
cash flow distributions, which is intended to represent fair value. Affiliate equity holders are also permitted to sell their equity
interests to other individuals or entities in certain cases, subject to our approval or other restrictions.
As of December 31, 2024, the current redemption value of Affiliate equity interests was $405.3 million, of which $350.5
million was presented as Redeemable non-controlling interests (including $12.9 million of consolidated Affiliate sponsored
investment products primarily attributable to third-party investors), and $54.8 million was included in Other liabilities.
Although the timing and amounts of these purchases are difficult to predict, we paid $106.5 million for Affiliate equity
purchases and received $6.3 million for Affiliate equity issuances in 2024, and we expect net purchases of approximately $175
million of Affiliate equity in 2025. In the event of a purchase, we become the owner of the cash flow associated with the
purchased equity. See Notes 15 and 16 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Share Repurchases
Our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs in October 2022, October 2023, and July 2024 to repurchase
up to 3.0 million, 3.3 million, and 5.4 million shares of our common stock, respectively, and these authorizations have no
expiry. Purchases may be made from time to time, at management’s discretion, in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, including through the use of trading plans, as well as pursuant to accelerated share repurchase programs or other
share repurchase strategies that may include derivative financial instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we
32
Table of Contents
repurchased 4.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $162.65. As of March 31, 2024, we had
repurchased all of the shares in the repurchase program authorized in October 2022. As of December 31, 2024, we had
repurchased all of the shares in the repurchase program authorized in October 2023, and there were a total of 5.3 million shares
available for repurchase under our July 2024 share repurchase program.
Debt
The following table presents the carrying value of our outstanding indebtedness. The weighted average maturity of our
outstanding debt is 21 years, with approximately 87% of debt maturing in 2030 and beyond. Our nearest term maturity relates
to our $350.0 million senior notes due August 2025 (“the 2025 senior notes”). See Note 5 of our Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The carrying value of our debt differs from the amount reported in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements, as
the carrying value of our debt in the table above is not reduced for debt issuance costs.
Senior Bank Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repaid the $350.0 million outstanding under the term loan.
As of December 31, 2024, w e had a $1.25 billion revolver. We amended and restated the revolver in November 2024,
extending the maturity from October 25, 2027 to November 15, 2029, and the term loan terminated upon payment in full in the
third quarter of 2024. Subject to certain conditions, we may increase the commitments under the revolver by up to an
additional $500.0 million.
Under the terms of the revolver we are required to meet two financial ratio covenants. The first of these covenants is a
maximum ratio of debt to EBITDA (the “bank leverage ratio”) of 3.25x. The second covenant is a minimum EBITDA to cash
interest expense ratio of 3.00x (the “bank interest coverage ratio”). For purposes of calculating these ratios, share-based
compensation and certain Affiliate equity expenses, among other specified expenses, charges, and costs, are added back to
Adjusted EBITDA. As of December 31, 2024, our bank leverage and bank interest coverage ratios were 0.9x and 8.1x,
respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver, and could borrow all capacity and remain
in compliance with all of the terms of the revolver.
Senior Notes
In the first quarter of 2024, our $400.0 million 2024 senior notes matured and were fully repaid.
As of December 31, 2024, we had senior notes outstanding, the respective principal terms of which are presented below:

In the third quarter of 2024, we issued $400.0 million of 2034 senior unsecured notes with a maturity date of August 20,
2034. Interest is payable beginning February 20, 2025. In addition to customary event of default provisions, the indenture
33
Table of Contents
governing the 2034 senior notes limits our ability to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets and requires
us to make an offer to repurchase the 2034 senior notes upon certain change of control triggering events.
The senior notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at a make-whole redemption price (plus accrued and unpaid
interest), at any time, in the case of the 2025 senior notes, at any time prior to March 15, 2030, in the case of the 2030 senior
notes, and at any time prior to May 20, 2034, in the case of the 2034 senior notes. In addition, the 2030 and 2034 senior notes
may be redeemed at par, in whole or in part, at any time, on or after March 15, 2030 and May 20, 2034, respectively. We may
also repurchase senior notes in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time at management’s
discretion.
We have used a majority of the net proceeds from the 2034 senior notes for the repayment of the term loan, and in the
future intend to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include share repurchases and
investments in new and existing Affiliates, as well as further repayment or refinancing of indebtedness.
Junior Subordinated Notes
As of December 31, 2024, we had junior subordinated notes outstanding, the respective principal terms of which are
presented below:

|  | 2059 Junior Subordinated Notes |  | 2060 Junior Subordinated Notes |  | 2061 Junior Subordinated Notes |  | 2064 Junior Subordinated Notes

In the first quarter of 2024, we issued $450.0 million of 2064 junior subordinated notes with a maturity date of March 30,
2064. Interest was payable commencing on June 30, 2024, and we have the right to defer interest payments in accordance with
the terms of the notes. The 2064 junior subordinated notes were issued at 100% of the principal amount and rank junior and
subordinate in right of payment and upon liquidation to all of our current and future senior indebtedness. As of December 31,
2024, the 2059 junior subordinated notes could be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part. The other junior subordinated
notes may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part, on or after September 30, 2025, in the case of the 2060 junior
subordinated notes, on or after September 30, 2026, in the case of the 2061 junior subordinated notes, and on or after March 30,
2029, in the case of the 2064 junior subordinated notes. In each case, the junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at 100%
of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Prior to the applicable
redemption date, at our option, the applicable junior subordinated notes may also be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at
100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if certain changes in tax laws, regulations, or
interpretations occur; or at 102% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if a rating agency makes certain
changes relating to the equity credit criteria for securities with features similar to the applicable notes.
We have used, and in the future intend to use, the net proceeds from the 2064 junior subordinated notes for general
corporate purposes, which may include share repurchases, investments in new and existing Affiliates, and the repayment or
refinancing of indebtedness.
Junior Convertible Securities
As of December 31, 2024, we had $341.7 million of principal outstanding in our 5.15% junior convertible trust preferred
securities outstanding (the “junior convertible securities”) maturing in 2037. The junior convertible securities were issued by
AMG Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust, in October 2007. Each of the junior convertible securities represents an
undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the trust. The trust’s only assets are junior subordinated convertible debentures
issued to it by us, and have substantially the same payment terms as the junior convertible securities. We own all of the trust’s
common securities, and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, the payment obligations on the
junior convertible securities. We do not consolidate the trust’s financial results into our Consolidated Financial Statements.
34
Table of Contents
Holders of the junior convertible securities have no rights to put these securities to us. Upon conversion, holders will
receive cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. We may redeem the junior convertible
securities, subject to our stock trading at or above certain specified levels over specified times periods, and may also repurchase
junior convertible securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time at management’s
discretion. The junior convertible securities are considered contingent payment debt instruments under federal income tax
regulations, which require us to deduct interest in an amount greater than our reported interest expense. We estimate that these
deductions will generate annual deferred tax liabilities of approximately $10 million. We did not repurchase any of our junior
convertible securities during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024.
Equity Distribution Program
In the second quarter of 2022, we entered into equity distribution and forward equity agreements with several major
securities firms under which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock (immediately or on a
forward basis) having an aggregate sales price of up to $500.0 million (the “equity distribution program”). As of December 31,
2024, no sales had occurred under the equity distribution program.
Commitments
See Note 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Contingent Commitments
See Notes 3 and 6 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Leases
As of December 31, 2024, our lease obligations were $35.1 million through 2025, $51.7 million from 2026 through 2027,
$44.1 million from 2028 through 2029, and $47.3 million thereafter. The portion of these lease obligations attributable to the
controlling interest were $9.3 million through 2025, $6.6 million from 2026 through 2027, $4.0 million from 2028 through
2029, and $6.4 million thereafter. See Note 9 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Developments
See Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires us to make judgments,
assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
See Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.
The following are our critical accounting estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial
Statements, and due to their subjectivity, actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
These standards establish a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
We make judgments to determine the fair value of certain assets, liabilities, and equity interests when allocating the
purchase price of our new investments, when revaluing our contingent payment obligations, when we issue or purchase
Affiliate equity interests, and when we test our goodwill, indefinite- and definite-lived acquired client relationships, or equity
method investments for impairment.
In determining fair values that reflect our own assumptions concerning unobservable inputs, we typically use valuation
techniques, including probability-weighted discounted cash flow analyses and Monte Carlo simulations, where we make
assumptions about growth rates of assets under management, client attrition, asset- and performance-based fee rates, and
expenses. In these analyses, we also consider historical and current market multiples, tax benefits, credit risk, interest rates, tax
rates, discount rates, volatility, and discounts for lack of marketability. We consider the reasonableness of our assumptions by
35
Table of Contents
comparing our valuation conclusions to observed market transactions and, in certain instances, by consulting with third-party
valuation firms. Changes in the assumptions used could significantly impact fair values.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that are not
separately recognized. We perform a qualitative impairment assessment at least annually to determine if the carrying value of
our single reporting unit is in excess of its fair value. In this qualitative assessment, we typically measure the excess of the fair
value of our reporting unit over its carrying value using various qualitative and quantitative factors (including our market
capitalization). If there is an indication that the carrying value of the reporting unit is in excess of the fair value under this test,
then we must determine if a potential impairment is more-likely-than-not. To determine if a potential impairment is more-
likely-than-not, we perform a single step quantitative test with any excess of carrying value over fair value recorded as an
expense in Intangible amortization and impairments.
We completed our annual qualitative goodwill impairment assessment as of September 30, 2024 and no impairment was
indicated. Based on our assessment, the fair value of our reporting unit was substantially greater than its respective carrying
amount, including goodwill.
Indefinite-Lived Acquired Client Relationships
Indefinite-lived acquired client relationships include investment advisory contracts between our Affiliates and their mutual
funds and other retail-oriented investment products. Because these contracts are with the investment products themselves, and
not with the underlying investors, and the contracts between our Affiliates and the investment products are typically renewed on
an annual basis, industry practice under GAAP is to consider the contract life to be indefinite and, as a result, not amortizable.
We perform indefinite-lived acquired client relationship impairment assessments annually, or more frequently should
circumstances indicate fair value has declined below the related carrying value. For purposes of our assessments, we consider
various qualitative and quantitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each asset group is
greater than its carrying amount. If we determine that it is likely that the fair value has declined below our related carrying
value, we perform discounted cash flow analyses to determine the fair value of the asset group and record an expense in
Intangible amortization and impairments to reduce the carrying value to its fair value. In these analyses, the most relevant
assumptions are revenue growth rates and discount rates.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we completed our annual assessment and performed discounted cash flow analyses
for certain asset groups due to continued declines in assets under management. The most relevant assumptions used in these
analyses were revenue growth rates over the next five years ranging from (18)% to 0%, long-term revenue growth rates of
0.0%, and discount rates of 11.0%. Our analyses indicated that the value of these asset groups exceeded their carrying value by
less than 10%. While we believe all assumptions utilized in our assessment are reasonable and appropriate, changes in these
estimates could produce different values which could imply an impairment. For example, assuming all other assumptions
remain constant, a decrease in the revenue growth rate of 200 basis points or an increase in the discount rate of 100 basis points
would result in an impairment of approximately $30 million.
Equity Method Investments in Affiliates
We periodically perform assessments to determine if the fair value of an investment may have declined below its related
carrying value for our Affiliates accounted for under the equity method for a period that we consider to be other-than-
temporary. We perform these assessments if certain triggering events occur or annually during the fourth quarter. We first
consider whether certain qualitative and quantitative factors (including discount rates) indicate an increased likelihood of a
decline in the fair value of an Affiliate during the reporting period. If such a decline is identified, and it is likely that an
investment’s fair value may have declined below its carrying value, we perform a quantitative assessment to determine if an
impairment exists. Impairments are recorded as an expense in Equity method income (net) to reduce the carrying value of the
Affiliate to its fair value.
When we quantitatively test our equity method investments for impairment, we typically use valuation methods such as
discounted cash flow analyses. In these analyses, our most significant assumptions relate to growth rates of projected assets
under management, client attrition, asset- and performance-based fees, expenses, and discount rates. We consider the
reasonableness of our assumptions by comparing our valuation conclusions to observed market transactions, comparable
company valuations, and, in certain instances, by consulting with third-party valuation firms. Changes in these assumptions
could significantly impact the respective fair value of an Affiliate.
36
Table of Contents
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $39.9 million expense to reduce the carrying value of an Affiliate to
fair value. See Note 8 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed its annual assessme nt of its investments in Affiliates
accounted for under the equity method and no other impairments were indicated.
Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Assets Under Management Market Price Risk
Our Consolidated revenue and equity method revenue are derived primarily from asset-based fees that are typically
determined as a percentage of the value of a client’s assets under management. Such values are affected by changes in financial
markets (including declines in the capital markets, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, inflation rates or the yield
curve, and other market factors) and, accordingly, declines in the financial markets may negatively impact our Consolidated
revenue and equity method revenue.
As of December 31, 2024, we estimate a proportional 1% change in the value of our assets under management would have
resulted in a $15.9 million annualized change in asset-based fees in Consolidated revenue for our consolidated Affiliates and a
$15.9 million annualized change in asset-based fees in equity method revenue for our Affiliates accounted for under the equity
method. This proportional increase or decrease excludes assets under management on which asset-based fees are charged on
committed capital.
Interest Rate Risk
We have fixed rates of interest on our senior notes, junior subordinated notes, and junior convertible securities. While a
change in market interest rates would not affect the interest expense incurred on our fixed rate securities, such a change may
affect the fair value of these securities. We estimate that a 1% change in interest rates would have resulted in a $226.1 million
net change in the fair value of our fixed rate securities as of December 31, 2024. We pay a variable rate of interest on any
outstanding obligations under our revolver at specified rates, based either on an applicable term Secured Overnight Financing
Rate (“SOFR”) plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% or prime rate, plus a marginal rate determined based on our credit rating. As
of December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver.
Foreign Currency Risk
The functional currency of most of our Affiliates is the U.S. dollar. Certain of our Affiliates have the pound sterling,
Canadian dollar, or the Euro as their functional currency, and are, therefore, impacted by movements in pound sterling,
Canadian dollar, and Euro to U.S. dollar foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the valuations of our foreign Affiliates
with a non-U.S. dollar functional currency change based on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, among other
factors. Changes due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity.
To illustrate the effect of possible changes in foreign currency exchange rates, we estimate a 1% change in the pound
sterling, Canadian dollar, and Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates would have resulted in an $8.4 million, $1.9 million, and $1.5
million change to stockholders’ equity, respectively, primarily based on the December 31, 2024 carrying value of Affiliates
whose functional currency is the pound sterling, Canadian dollar, or the Euro. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we
estimate a 1% change in the pound sterling, Canadian dollar, and the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates would have resulted in
$1.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.0 million in annual changes to Income before income taxes (controlling interest),
respectively.
Derivative Risk
From time to time, we and our Affiliates seek to offset exposure to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, and markets by entering into derivative financial instruments. There can be no assurance that our or our Affiliates’
derivative financial instruments will meet their overall objective or that we or our Affiliates will be successful in entering into
such instruments in the future.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting processes are designed by, or
under the supervision of, the Company’s chief executive and chief financial officers and applied by the Company’s Board of
Directors, management, and other senior employees to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable
assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its
financial statements.
As of December 31, 2024, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management has
determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 was effective.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PCAOB ID 238), an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report
appearing in “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” which expresses an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. and its affiliates (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income,
of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related
notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the
“consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included
in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8. Our responsibility is to express
opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement
of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or
complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate
opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Impairment Assessment for an Equity Method Investment in an Affiliate
As described in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, management periodically evaluates its equity method
investments in affiliates for impairment by performing assessments to determine if the fair value may have declined below the
related carrying value for a period that they consider to be other-than-temporary. In the second quarter of 2024, management
concluded that due to an anticipated decline in assets under management, which decreased the forecasted income associated
with an equity method investment in an affiliate, there was a $39.9 million expense to reduce the carrying value of the equity
method investment in an affiliate to fair value. The fair value of the equity method investment in an affiliate was determined
using a discounted cash flow analysis that included discount rates for asset- and performance-based fees, long-term growth rate,
growth in assets under management, and market participant tax rate. The Company’s e quity method investments in affiliates
(net) balance was $2,246.6 million as of December 31, 2024, a portion which relates to the equity method investment in an
affiliate with a reduction in the carrying value to fair value in the second quarter of 2024.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment for an
equity method investment in an affiliate is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when
developing the fair value estimate of the equity method investment in an affiliate, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment,
subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the discount
rates for asset- and performance-based fees, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and
knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall
opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to
management’s impairment assessment for the equity method investment in an affiliate, including controls over the discounted
cash flow analysis and significant assumptions used to develop the fair value estimate of an equity method investment in an
affiliate. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate
of the equity method investment in an affiliate, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow analysis used by
management, (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the discounted cash flow analysis, and
(iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the discount rates for asset-
and performance-based fees. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the
appropriateness of the discounted cash flow analysis and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rates for asset- and
performance-based fees.

AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)Organization and Nature of Operations
Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG” or the “Company”) is a strategic partner to leading independent investment
management firms globally. AMG’s strategy is to generate long-term value by investing in high-quality independent partner-
owned firms, which the Company refers to as “Affiliates.” The Company’s Affiliates provide a comprehensive and diverse
range of differentiated investment strategies designed to assist institutional and wealth clients worldwide in achieving their
investment objectives.
Each of the Company’s Affiliates operates through distinct legal entities, which affords the Company the flexibility to
design a separate operating agreement for each Affiliate. Each operating agreement reflects the specific terms of the
Company’s economic participation in the Affiliate, which, in each case, uses a “structured partnership interest.”
The form of the Company’s structured partnership interests in Affiliates differs from Affiliate to Affiliate and ranges from
structures where the Company contractually shares in the Affiliate’s revenue without regard to expenses, comprising Affiliates
that contribute a majority of the Company’s Consolidated revenue, to others where the Company contractually shares in the
Affiliate’s revenue less agreed-upon expenses. Further, the structure at a particular Affiliate, or the expenses that the Company
agrees to share in, may change during the course of the Company’s investment. Where the Company shares in the Affiliate’s
revenue without regard to expenses, the Affiliate allocates a specified percentage of its revenue to the Company and Affiliate
management, while using the remainder for operating expenses and additional distributions to Affiliate management. The
Company and Affiliate management, therefore, participate in any increase or decrease in revenue and only Affiliate
management participates in any increase or decrease in expenses. Under these structured partnership interests, the Company’s
contractual share of revenue generally has priority over distributions to Affiliate management. Where the Company shares in
the Affiliate’s revenue less agreed-upon expenses, the Company benefits from any increase in revenue or any decrease in the
agreed-upon expenses, but also has exposure to any decrease in revenue or any increase in such agreed-upon expenses. The
degree of the Company’s exposure to agreed-upon expenses from these structured partnership interests varies by Affiliate, and
includes several Affiliates in which the Company fully shares in the expenses of the business.

eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current
period’s presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c)Pr inciples of Consolidation
In evaluating whether an investment must be consolidated, the Company evaluates the risk, rewards, and significant terms
of each of its Affiliates and other investments to determine if an investment is considered a voting rights entity (“VRE”) or a
variable interest entity (“VIE”). An entity is a VRE when the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to
finance its activities independently, and when the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive
residual returns, and the right to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance. An
entity is a VIE when it lacks one or more of the characteristics of a VRE, which, for the Company, are Affiliate investments
structured as partnerships (or similar entities) where the Company is a limited partner and lacks substantive kick-out or
substantive participation rights over the general partner. Assessing whether an entity is a VRE or VIE involves judgment.
Upon the occurrence of certain events, management reviews and reconsiders its previous conclusion regarding the status of an
entity as a VRE or a VIE.
The Company consolidates VREs when it has control over significant operating, financial, and investing decisions of the
entity. When the Company lacks such control, but is deemed to have significant influence, the Company accounts for the VRE
under the equity method. Investments with readily determinable fair values in which the Company does not have rights to

exercise significant influence are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in fair value included
in Investment and other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company consolidates VIEs when it is the primary beneficiary of the entity, which is defined as having the power to
direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the
right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Substantially all of the Company’s
consolidated Affiliates considered VIEs are controlled because the Company holds a majority of the voting interests or it is the
managing member or general partner. Furthermore, an Affiliate’s assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of
the respective Affiliate’s obligations. The Company applies the equity method of accounting to VIEs where the Company is
not the primary beneficiary, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters of the VIE.
See Note 4.
In vestments in Affiliates
Substantially all of the Company’s Affiliates are considered VIEs and are either consolidated or accounted for under the
equity method. A limited number of the Company’s Affiliates are considered VREs and most of these are accounted for under
the equity method.
When an Affiliate is consolidated, the portion of the earnings attributable to Affiliate management’s and any co-investor’s
equity ownership is included in Net income (non-controlling interests) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Undistributed earnings attributable to Affiliate management’s and any co-investor’s equity ownership, along with their share of
any tangible or intangible net assets, are included in Non-controlling interests on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Affiliate
equity interests where the holder has certain rights to demand settlement are presented, at their current redemption values, as
Redeemable non-controlling interests or Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company periodically
issues, sells, and purchases the equity of its consolidated Affiliates. Because these transactions take place between entities
under common control, any gains or losses attributable to these transactions are required to be included in Additional paid-in
capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of any related income tax effects in the period the transaction occurs.
When an Affiliate is accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s share of an Affiliate’s earnings or losses, net
of amortization and impairments, is included in Equity method income (net) in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the
carrying value of the Affiliate is recorded in Equity method investments in Affiliates (net) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company periodically performs assessments to determine if the fair value of an investment may have declined below
its related carrying value for its Affiliates accounted for under the equity method for a period that the Company considers to be
other-than-temporary. The Company performs these assessments if certain triggering events occur or annually during the
fourth quarter. The Company first considers whether certain qualitative factors indicate an increased likelihood of a decline in
the fair value of an Affiliate during the reporting period. If such a decline is identified, and it is likely that an investment’s fair
value may have declined below its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative assessment to determine if an
impairment exists. Impairments are recorded as an expense in Equity method income (net) to reduce the carrying value of the
Affiliate to its fair value.
Affiliate Sponsored Investment Products
The Company’s Affiliates sponsor various investment products where the Affiliate also acts as the investment adviser.
These investment products are typically owned primarily by third-party investors; however, certain products are funded with
general partner and seed capital investments from the Company and its Affiliates.
Third-party investors in Affiliate sponsored investment products are generally entitled to substantially all of the economics
of these products, except for the asset- and performance-based fees earned by the Company’s Affiliates or any gains or losses
attributable to the Company’s or its Affiliates’ investments in these products. As a result, the Company generally does not
consolidate these products. However, for certain products, the Company’s consolidated Affiliates, as the investment manager,
have the power to direct the activities of the investment product and have an exposure to the economics of the product that is
more than insignificant, though generally only for a short period while the product is established and has yet to attract
significant third-party investors. When the products are consolidated, the Company retains the specialized investment company
accounting principles of the underlying products, and all of the underlying investments are carried at fair value in Investments
on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with corresponding changes in the investments’ fair values included in Investment and
other income. Purchases and sales of securities are included in purchases and sales by consolidated Affiliate sponsored
investment products in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, and the third-party investors’ interests are
recorded in Redeemable non-controlling interests. When the Company or its consolidated Affiliates no longer control these
48
Table of Contents
AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
products, due to a reduction in ownership or other reasons, the products are deconsolidated with only the Company’s or its
consolidated Affiliate’s investment in the product reported from the date of deconsolidation.
(d)Ca sh and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers certain highly liquid investments, including money market mutual funds, with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value due to the
short-term maturity of these investments. Money market mutual funds with a floating net asset value (“NAV”) would not meet
the definition of a cash equivalent if the fund has enacted liquidity fees or redemption gates.
(e)Re ceivables
The Company’s Affiliates earn asset- and performance-based fees, which are billed based on the terms of the related
contracts. Billed but uncollected asset- and performance-based fees are recorded in Receivables on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and are generally short-term in nature.
Certain of the Company’s Affiliates in the UK act as intermediaries between clients and their sponsored investment
products. Normal settlement periods on transactions initiated by these clients with the sponsored investment products result in
unsettled fund share receivables and payables that are presented on a gross basis within Receivables and Payables and accrued
liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross presentation of these receivables and offsetting payables reflects the
legal relationship between the underlying investor, the Company’s Affiliates, and the sponsored investment products.
(f)In vestments
Investments in marketable securities
Equity securities
Equity securities are measured at fair value which reflects the cost of the investment as well as unrealized gains and losses
which are recorded in Investment and other income. Realized gains and losses on equity securities are recorded in Investment
and other income on the trade date on a specific identification basis, except for consolidated Affiliate sponsored investment
products which use an average cost basis.
Debt securities
Investments in debt securities are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity based on the
Company’s intent and ability to hold the security to maturity. Securities classified as trading are measured at fair value which
reflects the cost of the investment as well as unrealized gains and losses which are recorded in Investment and other income.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value which reflects amortized cost of the investment as well as
unrealized gains and losses which are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized
cost. Realized gains and losses on debt securities are recorded in Investment and other income.
Other investments
Investments Measured at NAV as a Practical Expedient
The Company’s Affiliates sponsor funds in which the Company and its Affiliates may make general partner and seed
capital investments. These funds generally operate in partnership form and apply the specialized fair value accounting for
investment companies. Because the funds’ investments do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company uses the
NAV of these investments as a practical expedient for their fair values.
Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values
When an investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the practical expedient to
estimate fair value, such as an investment in a private corporation where the Company does not exercise significant influence,
the Company generally elects to measure such investments at cost minus impairments, if any, plus or minus changes resulting
from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses related to other investments are recorded in Investment and other income.

Table of Contents
AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(g)Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair value of certain investment securities and other financial and non-financial assets and
liabilities. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date, utilizing
a hierarchy of three different valuation techniques:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in
markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs, or significant value drivers, are observable; and
Level 3 - Prices that reflect the Company’s own assumptions concerning unobservable inputs to the valuation model. In
these valuation models, the Company is required to make judgments about growth rates of assets under management, client
attrition, asset- and performance-based fee rates, and expenses. These valuation models also require judgments about tax
benefits, credit risk, interest rates, tax rates, discount rates, volatility, and discounts for lack of marketability. These inputs
require significant management judgment and reflect the Company’s assumptions that the Company believes market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
(h)Acquired Client Relationships and Goodwill
Each Affiliate in which the Company makes an investment has identifiable assets arising from contractual or other legal
rights with their clients (“acquired client relationships”). In determining the value of acquired client relationships, the Company
analyzes the net present value of these Affiliates’ existing client relationships based on a number of factors, including: the
Affiliate’s historical and potential future operating performance; the Affiliate’s historical and potential future rates of attrition
of existing clients; the stability and longevity of existing client relationships; the Affiliate’s recent, as well as long-term,
investment performance; the characteristics of the firm’s products and investment styles; the stability and depth of the
Affiliate’s management team; and the Affiliate’s history and perceived franchise or brand value.
The Company has determined that certain of its acquired client relationships meet the criteria to be considered indefinite-
lived assets because the Company expects the contracts to be renewed annually and, therefore, the cash flows generated by
these contracts to continue indefinitely. Accordingly, the Company does not amortize these intangible assets, but instead
assesses these assets annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the recorded
indefinite-lived acquired client relationship may be impaired. Each reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or
circumstances have occurred that indicate that the indefinite life criteria are no longer met.
The Company has determined that certain of its acquired client relationships meet the criteria to be considered definite-
lived assets, including investment advisory contracts between its Affiliates and their underlying investors, and are amortized
over their expected period of economic benefit. The expected period of economic benefit of definite-lived acquired client
relationships is a judgment based on the historical and projected attrition rates of each Affiliate’s existing clients, and other
factors that may influence the expected future economic benefit the Company will derive from these relationships. The
expected lives of definite-lived acquired client relationships are analyzed annually or more frequently whenever events or
circumstances have occurred that indicate the expected period of economic benefit may no longer be appropriate.
The Company assesses for the possible impairment of indefinite- and definite-lived acquired client relationships annually
or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. If such indicators exist, the Company considers various qualitative and quantitative factors (including market
multiples) to determine if the fair value of each asset is greater than its carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the
fair value, an expense would be recorded in Intangible amortization and impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Income
to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value.
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that are not
separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized, but is instead reviewed for impairment. The Company performs an
impairment assessment annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that the carrying value
of its single reporting unit is in excess of its fair value. In this assessment, the Company typically measures the fair value of its
reporting unit using various qualitative and quantitative factors (including the Company’s market capitalization and market
multiples for asset management businesses). If a potential impairment is more-likely-than-not, then the Company will perform
a single step assessment with any excess of carrying value over fair value recorded as an expense in Intangible amortization and
impairments.

AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(i)Fi xed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The
estimated useful lives of office equipment and furniture and fixtures range from two years to ten years and three years to ten
years, respectively. Computer software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized over the estimated useful life of the
software, generally two years to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful
lives or the term of the lease. Buildings are amortized over their expected useful lives, generally not to exceed 39 years. The
costs of improvements that extend the life of a fixed asset are capitalized, while the cost of repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred. Land and artwork are not depreciated; artwork is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
(j)Le ases
Leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The Company and its Affiliates currently lease office
space and equipment primarily under operating lease arrangements. As these leases expire, it is expected that, in the normal
course of business, they will be renewed or replaced. Whether a lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease, the
Company and its Affiliates must record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of the lease, other
than for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. As permitted under Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02
Leases (and related ASUs), the Company and its Affiliates elect not to record short-term leases with an initial lease term less
than 12 months on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included in Other assets and
Other liabilities, respectively. A lease liability is initially and subsequently reported at the present value of the outstanding
lease payments determined by discounting those lease payments over the remaining lease term using the incremental borrowing
rate of the legal entity entering into the lease as of the commencement date. A right-of-use asset is initially reported at the
present value of the corresponding lease liability plus any prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs of entering into the
lease, and reduced by any lease incentives. Subsequently, a right-of-use asset is reported at the present value of the lease
liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining balances of any lease incentives received, unamortized
initial direct costs of entering into the lease, and any impairments of the right-of-use asset. The Company and its Affiliates test
for possible impairments of right-of-use assets annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a right-of-use asset may exceed its fair value. If the carrying value of the right-of-use asset
exceeds its fair value, then the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is reduced to its fair value and the expense is recorded in
Other expenses (net) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Subsequent to an impairment, the carrying value of the right-
of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets based on variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate are initially
measured using the index or rate at the commencement date with any subsequent changes in variable lease payments recorded
in Other expenses (net) as incurred. Most lease agreements for office space that are classified as operating leases contain
renewal options, rent escalation clauses, or other lease incentives provided by the lessor. Lease expense is accrued to recognize
lease escalation provisions and renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, as well as lease incentives provided
by the lessor, on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in Other expenses (net). If a right-of-use asset is
impaired, the lease expense is subsequently recorded in Other expenses (net) as the straight-line amortization of the right-of-use
asset and the accretion of the lease liability, thereby transitioning to a front-loaded expense recognition profile for the associated
lease.
The Company and its Affiliates combine lease and non-lease components for their office space leases and separate non-
lease components for their equipment leases in calculating their lease liabilities. Sublease income is recorded in Investment and
other income.
(k)Debt
The Company’s debt instruments are carried at amortized cost. Unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs associated
with its debt instruments, with the exception of the Company’s senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the
“revolver”), are presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an adjustment to the carrying value of the associated debt.
The carrying value of the debt is accreted to the principal amount at maturity over the remaining life of the underlying debt.
The accretion of the debt and the amortization of debt issuance costs, are recorded in Interest expense in the Consolidated
Statements of Income, using the effective interest method.
Unamortized issuance costs associated with the revolver are recorded in Other assets and amortized over the remaining
term of the revolver to Interest expense.
51
Table of Contents
AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Gains and losses on repurchases or settlement of debt are recorded in Interest expense.
(l)De rivative Financial Instruments
The Company and its Affiliates may use derivative financial instruments to offset exposure to changes in interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates, and markets. The Company records derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair
value. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness at derivative inception and on a quarterly basis. Changes in fair value of a
hedging instrument that are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, also known as excluded components, are
recorded in earnings on a straight-line basis over the respective period of the contracts.
For derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the Company uses a qualitative method of assessing
hedge effectiveness by comparing the notional amounts, timing of payments, currencies (for forward foreign currency
contracts), and interest rates (for interest rate swaps). The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is recorded in Other
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and reclassified to earnings with the
hedged item. If the qualitative assessment indicates ineffectiveness, then the Company performs a quantitative assessment
which is generally measured by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows of the
hedged contract with the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows of the hedged item. Upon
termination of these instruments or the repayment of the Company’s outstanding Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)-
based borrowings, any gain or loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings.
Changes in the fair values of cash flow hedges are recorded in Change in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on derivative
financial instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
For net investment hedges, hedge effectiveness is measured using the spot rate method. The effective portion of the
unrealized gain or loss is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and
reclassified to earnings with the hedged item. Changes in the fair values of the effective net investment hedges are recorded in
Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Upon the sale or liquidation
of the underlying investment, any gain or loss remaining in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to
earnings.
If the Company’s or its Affiliates’ derivative financial instruments do not qualify as effective hedges, changes in the fair
value of the derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in Investment and other income.
(m)Revenue Recognition
Consolidated revenue primarily represents asset- and performance-based fees earned by the Company and its consolidated
Affiliates for managing the assets of clients. Substantially all of the Company’s and its Affiliates’ contracts contain a single
performance obligation, which is the provision of investment management services. Investment management, broker-dealer,
and administrative services are performed and consumed simultaneously and, therefore, the Company recognizes these asset-
based fees ratably over time. Substantially all the Company’s asset-based fees for services are based on the value of client
assets over time, which are typically determined using observable market data, or on committed capital. Services may be
invoiced in advance or in arrears and are payable upon receipt. Any asset-based fees collected in advance are deferred and
recognized as the services are performed and consumed. Consolidated revenue recognized by the Company is adjusted for any
expense reimbursement arrangements. The Company’s Affiliates may periodically either waive or reduce fees in order to
attract or retain client assets or for other reasons. Fee waivers or reductions are presented as a reduction to Consolidated
revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Performance-based fees, including carried interests, are recognized upon the satisfaction of performance obligations, the
resolution of any constraints, which include exceeding performance benchmarks or hurdle rates that may extend over one or
more reporting periods, and when it is improbable that there will be a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized.
As a result, any performance-based fees or carried interest recognized in the current reporting period may relate to performance
obligations satisfied in a previous reporting period.
The Company and its Affiliates have contractual arrangements with third-parties to provide distribution-related services.
Fees received and expenses incurred under these arrangements are primarily based on the value of client assets over time.
Distribution-related fees are recorded in Consolidated revenue gross of any related expenses when the Company and its
consolidated Affiliates are the principal in their role as primary obligor under their distribution-related services arrangements.
Distribution-related expenses are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Income.
52
Table of Contents
AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company and its Affiliates may enter into contracts for which the costs to obtain or fulfill the contract are based upon
a percentage of the value of a client’s future assets under management. The Company records these variable costs when
incurred because they are subject to market volatility and are not estimable upon the inception of a contract with a client. Any
expenses paid in advance are capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis, consistent with the transfer of services, which is
the equivalent of recognizing the costs as incurred.
(n)Co ntingent Payment Obligations
The Company periodically enters into contingent payment obligations in connection with its investments in Affiliates. In
these obligations, the Company agrees to pay additional consideration to the sellers to the extent that certain specified financial
targets are achieved. For consolidated Affiliates, the Company estimates the fair value of these potential future obligations at
the time the investment in an Affiliate is consummated and records a liability in Other liabilities. The Company then accretes
the obligation to its expected payment amount over the period until the arrangement is measured. If the Company’s expected
payment amount subsequently changes, the obligation is reduced or increased in the current period resulting in a gain or loss,
respectively. Gains and losses resulting from changes to expected payments are included in Other expenses (net) and the
accretion of these obligations to their expected payment amounts are included in Interest expense. For Affiliates accounted for
under the equity method, the Company records a liability in Other liabilities when a payment becomes probable, with a
corresponding increase to the carrying value of the Affiliate in Equity method investments in Affiliates (net).
(o)In come Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases of assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases, using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recorded in Income tax expense in the
period when the change is enacted.
The Company regularly assesses the recoverability of its deferred tax assets to determine whether these assets are more-
likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative
evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning
strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines it would not be able to realize its deferred tax assets, it
records a valuation allowance to reflect the deferred tax assets at their current value. The recording of adjustments to the
valuation allowance will generally increase or decrease Income tax expense.
The Company records unrecognized tax benefits based on whether it is more-likely-than-not that the uncertain tax positions
will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position. If it is determined that an uncertain tax position is more-
likely-than-not to be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be
realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority in Income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits are also recorded in Income tax expense.
The Company has elected to treat taxes due on U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to Global Intangible Low Taxed
Income (“GILTI”) as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”).
(p)Fo reign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities denominated in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using
exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses denominated in a functional currency other than
the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the relevant period. Because of the long-term
nature of the Company’s investments in its Affiliates, net translation exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency
translation are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included
in Investment and other income.
(q)Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
cash investments and derivative financial instruments. The Company and its Affiliates maintain cash and cash equivalents,
investments, and, at times, certain derivative financial instruments with various high credit-quality financial institutions. These
financial institutions are typically located in countries in which the Company and its Affiliates operate. For the Company and
certain of its Affiliates, cash deposits at a financial institution may, from time to time, exceed insurance limits (similar to
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits).

AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(r)Earnings Per Share
The calculation of Earnings per share (basic) is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s
common stock outstanding during the period. Earnings per share (diluted) is similar to Earnings per share (basic), but adjusts
for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company had share-based compensation awards outstanding during the periods presented with vesting provisions
subject to certain performance conditions. These awards are excluded from the calculation of Earnings per share (diluted) if the
performance condition has not been met as of the end of the reporting period.
The Company has agreements with Affiliate equity holders that provide the Company a conditional right to call and holders
a conditional right to put their interests to the Company at certain intervals. These arrangements are presented at their current
redemption value as Redeemable non-controlling interests. The Company may settle these interests in cash or, subject to the
terms of the applicable agreement, shares of its common stock, or other forms of consideration, at its option. The Company
must assume the settlement of all of its Redeemable non-controlling interests using the maximum number of shares permitted
under its arrangements. Purchases are assumed to occur at the beginning of the reporting period. The Company acquires the
rights to the underlying Affiliate equity when purchased, and therefore, the earnings that would be acquired (net of tax) are
assumed to increase Net income (controlling interest) in the computation of Earnings per share (diluted). The issuance of
shares and the related income acquired are excluded from the calculation if an assumed purchase of Redeemable non-
controlling interests would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.
The Company had junior convertible securities outstanding during the periods presented and is required to apply the if-
converted method to these securities in its calculation of Earnings per share (diluted). Under the if-converted method, shares
that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are contractually convertible into
the Company’s common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive
securities is added back to Net income (controlling interest), reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted.
Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion
would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.
(s)Sh are-Based Compensation Plans
The Company recognizes expenses for all share-based compensation arrangements based on the number of awards
expected to vest. The expense for awards without performance conditions is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period, including grants that are subject to graded vesting. The Company recognizes expenses for all other
arrangements on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of the award.
Tax windfalls or shortfalls are recorded in Income tax expense and have been classified as operating activities in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Taxes paid by the Company when it withholds shares to satisfy tax withholding
obligations are classified as a financing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
(t)Re cently Adopted Accounting Standards and Developments
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement:
Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. Effective for the financial year ended
December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment
Disclosures. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Recent Accounting Developments
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,
which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes
paid. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company currently does not expect
the adoption to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of
Profits Interest and Similar Awards, which clarifies how an entity should apply the scope guidance to determine whether profits
interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. The standard is effective for interim and
54

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for the Company, and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2025 for the Company’s Affiliates. The Company currently does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires improved
disclosure of the nature and disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)Represents growth rates of asset- and performance-based fees.
Contingent payment obligations represent the fair value of the expected future settlement amounts related to the
Company’s investments in its consolidated Affiliates. Changes to assumed volatility and discount rates change the fair value of
contingent payment obligations. Increases to the volatility rates used would result in higher fair values, while increases to the
discount rates used would result in lower fair values.
Affiliate equity purchase obligations include agreements to purchase Affiliate equity. As of December 31, 2024, there
were no changes to growth or discount rates that had a significant impact to Affiliate equity purchase obligations recorded in
prior periods. Increases to the assumed growth rates used would result in higher fair values, while increases to the discount
rates used would result in lower fair values.

The Company has other financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be carried at fair value, but are required to be
disclosed at fair value. The carrying amount of Cash and cash equivalents, Receivables, Payables and accrued liabilities, and
certain Other liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the
credit facilities (as defined in Note 5) approximates fair value because the credit facilities have variable interest based on
selected short-term rates.

Holders of the junior convertible securities have no rights to put these securities to the Company. The holder may convert
the securities to 0.2558 shares of common stock per $50.00 junior convertible security, equivalent to an adjusted conversion
price of $195.47 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustments as described in the Amended and Restated Declaration
of Trust of AMG Capital Trust II and the related indenture, both dated October 17, 2007 and filed as exhibits to this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Upon conversion, holders will receive cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, or a
combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Company may redeem the junior convertible securities if the closing price
of its common stock for 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds 130% of the then prevailing
conversion price, and may also repurchase junior convertible securities in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions from time to time at management’s discretion. The junior convertible securities are considered contingent payment
debt instruments under federal income tax regulations, which require the Company to deduct interest in an amount greater than
its reported interest expense. The Company estimates that these deductions will generate annual deferred tax liabilities of
approximately $10 million. The Company did not repurchase any of its junior convertible securities during the years ended
December 31, 2023 and 2024.

Affiliates establish accruals, as necessary, for matters for which the outcome is probable and the amount of the liability can be

of $109.1 million, $86.0 million, and $90.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.
Based on relationships existing as of December 31, 2024, the Company estimates the amortization expense attributable to its
Affiliates will be approximately $75 million in 2025, approximately $70 million in each of 2026 and 2027, approximately $60
million in 2028, and approximately $45 million in 2029.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $9.6 million of expenses to reduce the carrying values of
certain of its Affiliates because it concluded that the fair value of its investments had declined below their carrying values and
that the declines were other-than-temporary.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a $39.9 million expense to reduce the carrying value of an Affiliate to
fair value. The decline in the fair value was a result of an anticipated decline in assets under management, which decreased the
forecasted income associated with the investment. The fair value of the investment was determined using a discounted cash
flow analysis, a Level 3 fair value measurement that included a projected compounded growth in assets under management over

the next ten years of (2.5)%, long-term growth rate of 3%, discount rates of 12% and 20% for asset- and performance-based
fees, respectively, and a market participant tax rate of 21%. Based on the discounted cash flow analysis, the Company
concluded that the fair value of its investment had declined below its carrying value and that the decline was other-than-
temporary.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed its annual assessme nt of its investments in Affiliates
accounted for under the equity method and no other impairments were indicated.
The Company had 22 Affiliates accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2023 and 2024. The
majority of these Affiliates are partnerships with structured interests that define how the Company will participate in
Affiliate earnings, typically based upon a fixed percentage of revenue reduced by, in some cases, certain agreed-upon
expenses. The partnership agreements do not define a fixed percentage for the Company’s ownership of the equity of the
Affiliate. These percentages would be subject to a separate future negotiation if an Affiliate were to be sold or liquidated.

BPEA and EQT. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase and Merger Agreement with EQT, under which the

Equity Distribution Program
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into equity distribution and forward equity agreements with several
major securities firms under which it may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock (immediately or on a
forward basis) having an aggregate sales price of up to $500.0 million (the “equity distribution program”). A s of December 31,
2024, no sales had occurred under the equity distribution program.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 5.0 million shares of preferred stock. Any such preferred stock issued by the
Company may rank prior to common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting
rights, and may be convertible into shares of common stock.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s junior convertible securities contain an embedded right for holders to receive shares of the Company’s
common stock under certain conditions. These arrangements, as well as the equity distribution program, meet the definition of
equity and are not required to be accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments.
14.Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Incentive Plans
The Company has established various plans under which it is authorized to grant restricted stock, restricted stock units,
stock options, and stock appreciation rights. The Company may also grant cash awards that can be notionally invested in one or
more specified measurement funds, including the Company’s common stock. Awards granted under the Company’s share-
based incentive plans typically participate in any dividends declared, but such amounts are deferred until delivery of the shares
and are forfeitable if the requisite service is not satisfied. Dividends may accrue in cash or may be reinvested in the Company’s
common stock.

15.Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
Affiliate equity interests provide holders with an equity interest in one of the Company’s consolidated Affiliates, consistent
with the structured partnership interests in place at the respective Affiliate. Affiliate equity holders generally have a conditional
right to put their interests to the Company at certain intervals (between five years and 15 years from the date the equity interest
is received by the Affiliate equity holder or on an annual basis following an Affiliate equity holder’s departure). Prior to
becoming redeemable, the Company’s Affiliate equity is included in Non-controlling interests. Upon becoming redeemable,
these interests are reclassified to Redeemable non-controlling interests at their current redemption values. Changes in the
current redemption value are recorded to Additional paid-in capital. When the Company has an unconditional obligation to
purchase Affiliate equity interests, the interests are reclassified from Redeemable non-controlling interests to Other liabilities at
current fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded to Other expenses (net).
The following table presents the changes in Redeemable non-controlling interests:

(1) As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, Redeemable non-controlling interests include consolidated Affiliate sponsored
investment products primarily attributable to third-party investors of $11.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively.
16.Affiliate Equity
Affiliate equity interests are allocated income in a manner that is consistent with the structured partnership interests in
place at the respective Affiliate. The Company’s consolidated Affiliates generally pay quarterly distributions to Affiliate equity
holders. Distributions paid to non-controlling interest Affiliate equity holders were $341.9 million, $271.3 million, and $258.0
million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

Table of Contents
AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Affiliate equity interests provide the Company a conditional right to call (following an Affiliate equity holder’s departure)
and Affiliate equity holders have a conditional right to put their interests at certain intervals (including on an annual basis
following an Affiliate equity holder’s departure). The Company has the right to settle a portion of these purchases in shares of
its common stock. For Affiliates accounted for under the equity method, the Company does not typically have such put and call
arrangements. The purchase price of these conditional purchases are generally calculated based upon a multiple of cash flow
distributions, which is intended to represent fair value. Affiliate equity holders are also permitted to sell their equity interests to
other individuals or entities in certain cases, subject to the Company's approval or other restrictions. The Company, at its
option, may pay for Affiliate equity purchases in cash, shares of its common stock, or other forms of consideration, and can
consent to the transfer of these interests to other individuals or entities.
The Company periodically purchases Affiliate equity from and issues Affiliate equity to the Company’s consolidated
Affiliate partners and other parties. The amount of cash paid for purchases was $61.5 million, $67.4 million, an d $106.5
million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. The total amount of cash received for issuances
was $15.2 million, $13.4 million, and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.
Sales and purchases of Affiliate equity generally occur at fair value; however, the Company also grants Affiliate equity to
its consolidated Affiliate partners and other parties as a form of compensation. If the equity is issued for consideration below
the fair value of the equity, or purchased for consideration above the fair value of the equity, the difference is recorded as
compensation expense in Compensation and related expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the requisite
service period.
The following table presents Affiliate equity compensation expense:

The Company records amounts receivable from, and payable to, Affiliate equity holders in connection with the transfer of
Affiliate equity interests that have not settled at the end of the period. The total receivable was $5.9 million and $7.9 million as
of December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and was included in Other assets. The total payable was $53.9 million and $54.8
million as of December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, and was included in Other liabilities.
Effects of Changes in the Company’s Ownership in Affiliates
The Company periodically acquires interests from, and transfers interests to, Affiliate equity holders. Because these
transactions do not result in a change of control, any gain or loss related to these transactions is recorded to Additional paid-in
capital, which increases or decreases the controlling interest’s equity. No gain or loss related to these transactions is recorded in
the Consolidated Statements of Income or the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
While the Company presents the current redemption value of Affiliate equity within Redeemable non-controlling interests,

17.Benefit Plans
The Company has a defined contribution plan that is a qualified employee profit-sharing plan, covering substantially all of
its employees. Under this plan, the Company is able to make discretionary contributions for the benefit of its employees that
are qualified plan participants, up to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limits. The Company’s consolidated Affiliates generally
have their own qualified defined contribution retirement plans covering their respective employees or, for several Affiliates, had
their employees covered under the Company’s plan until February or March 2023, as applicable. In each case, the relevant

(1)The year ended December 31, 2022 is reflective of the BPEA Transaction gain of $641.9 million and realized and
unrealized gains on EQT ordinary shares of $43.8 million and $57.9 million, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate (controlling interest) in 2022 is lower than the marginal tax rate of 24.5%, primarily due
to the tax benefits of foreign operations and a state tax benefit related to the BPEA Transaction. The effective tax rate
(controlling interest) in 2023 is lower than the marginal tax rate of 24.5%, primarily due to discrete benefits from foreign
operations. The effective tax rate (controlling interest) in 2024 is higher than the marginal tax rate of 24.5%, primarily due to

an expense to reduce the carrying value of a foreign Affiliate to fair value for which no tax benefit was recorded, partially offset
by tax windfalls attributable to share-based compensation.
The Company’s effective tax rate reflects the relative contributions of earnings in the jurisdictions in which the Company
and its Affiliates operate and is impacted by changes in the jurisdictional mix of income before taxes.
Deferred tax liability (net) reflects the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The significant components of the Company’s Deferred

(1)As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, foreign loss carryforwards of $19.8 million (net of a $17.0 million valuation
allowance) and $17.7 million (net of a $15.7 million valuation allowance), respectively, are included in Other assets as they
represent a net deferred tax asset in a foreign jurisdiction.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had available state net operating loss carryforwards of $212.9 million, a majority
of which will expire over five years to nine years. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had foreign loss carryforwards of
$66.9 million, of which $51.0 million will expire over 11 years to 15 years and $15.9 million will carry forward indefinitely.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $16.3 million, a majority of which will expire
over four years to seven years.
The Company believed it was more-likely-than-not that the benefit from certain state and foreign loss carryforwards and
foreign tax credit carryforwards would not be fully realized, and, as of December 31, 2024, had valuation allowances of $12.8
million, $15.7 million, and $16.3 million on the state and foreign loss carryforwards and the foreign tax credit carryforwards,
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company decreased its valuation allowance $0.5 million
and $2.8 million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company’s estimates and assumptions regarding the realization of its state and foreign loss carryforwards do not
contemplate certain changes in ownership of the Company’s stock which could limit the utilization of these carryforwards.
The Company provides for U.S. income taxes on all foreign earnings. The Company does not provide for U.S. income
taxes on the portion of the excess of the financial reporting bases over tax bases in the Company’s investments in foreign
subsidiaries considered permanent in duration. Such amount would generally become taxable upon the repatriation of assets
from, or a sale or liquidation of, the foreign subsidiaries. While a determination of the potential amount of unrecognized U.S.
income tax related to these amounts is not practicable because of the numerous assumptions associated with this hypothetical
calculation, as of December 31, 2024, the estimated amount of such difference was $375.5 million.
A reconciliation of the changes in unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024 were $49.6 million, $37.8
million, an d $37.3 million, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective
tax rate (controlling interest). As of December 31, 2024, certain of these benefits, if realized, would be offset by the
utilization of indirect tax benefits, for which the Company had accrued deferred tax assets o f $9.4 million.
The Company records accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income tax expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023, and 2024, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $2.6
million, $0.8 million, and $(0.5) million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company had accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $14.4 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income tax in multiple jurisdictions and is
periodically subject to tax examinations in these jurisdictions. The completion of examinations may result in the payment of
additional taxes and/or the recognition of tax benefits. The Company is generally no longer subject to income tax
examinations by U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign taxing authorities for periods prior to 2018.
The Company continues to monitor and evaluate legislative developments related to the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development’s Pillar Two directive (“Pillar Two”), which establishes a framework for a global minimum
corporate tax rate of 15%. Several countries in which the Company or its Affiliates operate are adopting legislation to
implement Pillar Two. The Company currently does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.
19.Earnings Per Share
The calculation of Earnings per share (basic) is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s
common stock outstanding during the period. Earnings per share (diluted) is similar to Earnings per share (basic), but adjusts
for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of the Company’s common stock.

None.
Item 9A.Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of
December 31, 2024, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its
judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were
designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their stated objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. We
review on an ongoing basis and document our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial
reporting, and we may from time to time make changes in an effort to enhance their effectiveness and ensure that our systems
evolve with our business. See “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” in Item 8.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, has issued an audit report on our internal
control over financial reporting, which is included in Item 8.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
