2024 Compensation Program Overview and Enhancements | |
AMG meets with stockholders extensively throughout the year as part of our investor outreach, and we have a demonstrated history of integrating shareholder feedback into our executive compensation program design. In 2024, 97% of the votes cast by stockholders supported our Say-on-Pay proposal, expressing strong ongoing support for our executive compensation program (following 98% and 97% stockholder support in 2023 and 2022, respectively). Shareholders recognized the compensation program’s quantitative approach and clear pay-for-performance linkage, as well as the significant integration of shareholder feedback over time. •Following the Compensation Committee’s 2021 redesign of AMG’s incentive determination process, and further enhancements for performance years 2022 and 2023, the approach has been widely well-received, with strong shareholder support for the increasingly simplified, transparent incentive determination process driven by pre-set, objective, rigorous metric targets; new compensation payout targets; and formulaic determination of compensation amounts and mix •For 2024, in response to shareholder and proxy advisor feedback, and in keeping with prior years, the Committee implemented modest refinements to the incentive determination process. The aggregate effect of the modifications reduced the ultimate payout to the CEO and other executives relative to what the performance year 2024 payout would have been using the prior year’s incentive determination process | |
Feedback | AMG Response |
Further align incentive determination metrics with long-term returns and objectives | •Replaced Annual Management Fee EBITDA metric with Annual Adjusted EBITDA metric to better reflect the growing contribution of performance fee earnings in our business resulting from management’s focus on strategically evolving AMG’s business and exposures •The replacement of Annual Management Fee EBITDA with Annual Adjusted EBITDA did not have a material impact on the overall achievement score |
Streamline incentive determination metrics and increase weighting of financial metrics to further link executive compensation with financial and stock performance | •Moved from 10 to 9 scorecard metrics, 100% of which are quantitative in nature, and assigned an equal weighting to all remaining metrics, resulting in an increased total weighting of metrics based on AMG’s financials (now 8 of 9 metrics, or 89%) |
Continue to monitor Peer Group to reflect AMG’s size and business model | •Streamlined Peer Group with removal of Ares Management Corporation (“Ares”), to reflect AMG’s growth, overall changes in the asset management industry, and the business models, size, and scope of our competitors •All members of the Peer Group operate investment management organizations and compete for talent in our industry •Adjustment of Peer Group resulted in a 13% decrease in the median CEO compensation of peers, used to set CEO Target Total Payout |
Further align incentive award mix and structures with business performance and long-term shareholder value creation | •Increased vesting duration of Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards to 4-year cliff vesting from 3-year cliff vesting •Increased proportion of Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards as a percentage of total formulaic equity incentive awards to 75% from 60%, to further enhance the alignment of future realized compensation with long-term shareholder value creation |
Add a second performance metric to Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards | •Implemented Economic earnings per share (EEPS)-based metric as a second performance metric for Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards, in addition to existing Average Return on Equity (“Average ROE”) metric. The implementation of this metric is intended to further enhance the alignment of executive realized compensation with business performance, as we believe EEPS is the most comprehensive measure of overall earnings contribution on a per-unit basis, incorporating the aggregate condition of Affiliates, corporate expenses, capital structure, tax exposure, and the full weight of capital allocation decisions |

Formulaic Derivation of Incentive Compensation and Mix of Incentive Awards |
Questions and Answers | |
Question | AMG Response |
How did the Compensation Committee determine that this incentive determination approach was appropriate and rigorous? What was the rationale for the changes made to the Performance Assessment metrics and weightings? | •Implemented Best Practices: The Compensation Committee integrated many years of shareholder feedback to redesign the incentive determination process for performance year 2021, resulting in an objective, formulaic, streamlined approach which incorporates compensation targets, performance metric targets across financial, Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”), and operating measures in a single quantitative Performance Assessment. The Committee implemented a pre-set formula governing the mix of cash and equity incentive awards •In 2024, in response to shareholder feedback, the Committee further refined the Performance Assessment scorecard by streamlining and refining metrics; incorporated 4-Year Cumulative EEPS as a second metric in addition to Average ROE (in response to feedback that performance-based equity had been driven by a ‘single’ metric); and increased the vesting duration and performance measurement period to 4 years for annual performance-based equity grants, to further enhance alignment of future realized compensation with long-term business performance and shareholder value creation •Relative Performance Drives Relative Compensation: The approach is designed to yield incentive compensation payouts relative to a peer benchmark (in each of the past three years, the benchmark for CEO compensation was set at the median of Peer Group CEO compensation) and relative to median peer performance •Strong Shareholder Support: The redesigned incentive program was supported by 97%, 98%, and 97% of shares voted by shareholders at the 2024, 2023, and 2022 Annual Meetings of Stockholders, respectively, indicating strong affirmation of the appropriate and rigorous nature of the Committee’s approach. Shareholders also commented that the formulaic approach utilizes metrics that are consistent with management’s ability to drive value creation. Following the redesign of the incentive determination process in 2021, the Committee has implemented modest refinements to the program over time in response to shareholder and proxy advisor feedback. In 2024, the Committee implemented further refinements to the Performance Assessment framework to (i) increase focus on long-term returns and objectives and (ii) refine the Peer Group |
What is the philosophy behind the compensation targets? How were the CEO and other NEO targets set? | •Target Total Payout amounts are confirmed annually based on peer benchmarking, where available, and reflect input from our independent compensation consultant •Since performance year 2021, the CEO compensation target has been set at the median of the most recently available peer CEO compensation (prior fiscal year). By targeting the median of peer CEOs, the Compensation Committee determined that the formulaic Performance Assessment would effectively reward above-median financial, stockholder return, and operating performance with above-median incentive compensation (and indicate below-median incentive compensation for below-median financial, stockholder return, and operating performance) •For other named executive officers, the Target Total Payouts were informed by peer benchmarking where available, but were not set directly at peer medians, because of the distinctive nature of the given role at AMG, wherein the executive’s role is broader than would be suggested by the role title, or because the individual was new to the role in 2024, or because the role is unique to AMG |
Why were these metrics chosen? How were targets set? | •The metrics were chosen following an extensive review of key drivers of shareholder return and the Company’s strategic goals, along with management’s ability to create value, and reflect shareholder input and feedback; each metric is reviewed annually to ensure alignment with shareholder value creation consistent with the design of the compensation program •Please refer to pages 34–35 for detailed descriptions of the financial, stockholder return, and operating metrics, the rationale for choosing each metric, and the target-setting methodology of each metric |
Questions and Answers (cont.) | |
Question | AMG Response |
Why is this Peer Group appropriate for AMG? What was the rationale for the removal of Ares this year? What was the impact on the median of Peer Group CEO compensation? | •The Compensation Committee regularly reviews our Peer Group to ensure the ongoing relevance of its composition to AMG’s business. In determining the Company’s Peer Group on an annual basis, the Compensation Committee considers both industry- and company-specific dynamics to identify the peers with which we compete for talent, client assets, and stockholder capital. The Committee evaluates the Peer Group to ensure that it reflects the Company’s growth, overall changes in the asset management industry, and the business models, size, and scope of our competitors •For 2024, the Committee streamlined the Peer Group, by removing Ares Management Corporation, reducing the total number of peers to 12, and better aligning the Peer Group market capitalization with that of AMG •Given the removal of Ares, the peer median used to set the Target Total Payout for the CEO declined by 13% from $15.3 million to $13.3 million |
What was the net impact of the changes to the incentive determination process in 2024 (across metrics, methodologies, and Peer Group changes) on CEO compensation? | •Excluding the impact of the removal of Ares from the Peer Group, the net impact of the changes in the incentive determination process for performance year 2024 across refinement of scorecard metrics was immaterial •Including the removal of Ares from the Peer Group, Total Compensation for the CEO was lower by 10% |
Why is Average ROE one of the performance metrics utilized in performance- based equity awards? How does the metric align with shareholder value creation over the performance period? | •Average ROE aligns management incentives with two distinct goals: (i) growing Economic earnings and (ii) effective stewardship of shareholder capital, over a long-term period. The Average ROE ratio provides shareholders with objective insight into the efficiency with which AMG’s management team allocates capital and uses stockholder equity to generate earnings, and should be measured against Cost of Equity •Average ROE incorporates multiple financial metrics. Average ROE is defined as the annual average of the Company’s Economic net income (calculated on a pre-compensation basis) over a specified measurement period, divided by the quarterly average of the Company’s stockholder’s equity, controlling interest over such period (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income, impairments recorded subsequent to the grant date, and other transactions and investments included in GAAP Net income but that do not impact Economic net income), reflected as a percentage •Return on Equity (ROE) is often used by other financial services companies as an objective measure of management’s effectiveness at using stockholder equity to generate earnings and to encourage responsible long-term planning |
What was the rationale behind the changes made to Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards, including the addition of a second metric, increasing the vesting duration, and increasing the mix of these awards as a percentage of total formulaic equity incentive awards? | •The Compensation Committee believes that equity incentive awards tied to rigorous, transparent performance metrics better align realized executive compensation with business performance. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee decided to increase the proportion of Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards as a percentage of total formulaic equity incentive awards to 75%, from 60% •The increase in the vesting duration and performance measurement period of Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards to 4 years from 3 years is in line with the program’s focus on long-term returns and business performance. The lengthened vesting duration and performance measurement period enhances the Company’s ability to retain key executives and incent long-term performance •The implementation of a second metric further incents long-term performance achievement, providing executives with the opportunity to earn a higher maximum payout if long-term growth objectives are achieved •The second metric is 4-Year Cumulative Economic earnings per share (EEPS). We believe EEPS is the most comprehensive measure of overall earnings contribution on a per-unit basis, and incorporates the aggregate condition of Affiliates, corporate expenses, capital structure, tax exposure, and the full weight of capital allocation decisions (i.e., deployment of capital into growth investments and share repurchases) |

Overview of AMG’s Compensation Program Philosophy |
Compensation Governance Practices | ||
AMG’s Board of Directors is committed to maintaining responsible compensation practices, and believes that rewards for the Company’s senior leaders should be commensurate with the results they achieve for our stockholders. Our strong governance procedures and practices with respect to employment and compensation include the following: | ||
What we do | What we don’t do | |
•Annual Say-on-Pay vote •Caps on Annual Incentive Compensation for each NEO, including the CEO •Annual cap on independent director equity awards •Equity ownership guidelines for NEOs and directors, as well as an equity holding policy for NEOs •One-year minimum vesting on equity awards •Double-trigger vesting upon change in control •Clawback policies •Mitigation of dilutive impact of equity awards through share repurchases •Formulaic Performance Assessment scorecard; pre-set objective quantitative metrics drive 100% of the assessment score, with achievement caps on each individual metric •Significant portion of overall variable compensation is in performance-based equity awards, with delivery tied to the achievement of pre-established performance targets based on key business metrics; majority of total equity awards are performance- based •A thorough risk assessment process, as described under “Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program” below •Retain an independent compensation consultant | •No employment agreements with any NEOs, including the CEO •No golden parachute change in control agreements with executives •No tax reimbursements or gross-ups for perquisites •No hedging or pledging of AMG securities by directors or officers •No option re-pricing or buy-outs of underwater stock options •No option grants with exercise price below grant date stock price •No payment of dividends on equity awards prior to vesting •No liberal share counting or recycling of shares tendered or surrendered to pay the exercise cost or tax obligation of grants •No “evergreen” equity plan feature •No excessive perquisites | |
Equity Ownership Guidelines and Holding Policy | ||
Equity Ownership Guidelines | •Implemented in 2011, AMG’s Equity Ownership Guidelines provide that an executive officer or director should own equity in the amount of: –10x annual base salary in the case of the President and Chief Executive Officer –7x annual base salary in the case of other named executive officers –5x base annual fees for service in the case of independent directors •Shares underlying outstanding stock options and unearned performance awards are not counted for purposes of meeting these guidelines •Executives and directors are strongly encouraged to meet these ownership guidelines within five years of becoming an executive officer, or three years of becoming a director •Includes a restriction on selling shares of AMG stock while the equity ownership of the director or executive does not exceed the required level through the accumulation period •All named executive officers and directors currently satisfy these Equity Ownership Guidelines to the extent applicable | |
Equity Holding Policy | •Equity Holding Policy first implemented in 2019 and applies to all named executive officers as well as other members of senior management granted one-time long-term equity awards •Imposes additional restrictions on sales of AMG stock –No sales by CEO permitted unless vested, unrestricted shares held exceeds 2x Total Annual Compensation –No sales by non-CEO NEOs permitted unless vested, unrestricted shares held exceeds 1x Total Annual Compensation –Once such holding thresholds are met, policy limits amount of annual sales permitted unless the individual’s share ownership is at least 3x Total Annual Compensation, ensuring that management continues to increase, and/or maintain significant, AMG equity ownership over time –Certain one-time awards granted to executive officers are also subject to holding periods under the policy, requiring the awards to be held for six to seven years from the time of grant •Total Annual Compensation comprises the total amount of the executive officer’s cash compensation (including salary and cash bonus) and equity or other deferred compensation (based on the grant date fair value) received for performance with respect to the year prior to measurement, excluding one-time cash or equity grants •Equity eligible for determining compliance includes unrestricted shares of AMG stock, whether acquired through award vesting, option exercises, open market purchases, or otherwise, and excludes unvested awards, undelivered performance awards, unexercised options, and shares surrendered to AMG to satisfy tax withholding obligations or fund the exercise of options or other equity awards | |
![]() | Review and Set Metric Targets for Quantitative Scorecard Assessment Metric targets set across nine quantified, objective, and pre-set metrics |
![]() | Determine Peer Group to set NEO Target Payouts along with maximum payout levels CEO Target Total Payout was set at the Peer Median ($13.3mm); cap on Total Compensation set at $17.5mm (unchanged from prior years) Non-CEO NEO Target Payouts are informed by peer medians and other benchmarking data, and incorporate individuals’ AMG roles and responsibilities; individual caps established by the Compensation Committee | $13.3 CEO Target $17.5 CEO Maximum |
Our Peer Group was revised in 2024 with the removal of Ares, reducing the total number of peers to 12, to reflect AMG’s growth, overall changes in the asset management industry, and the business models, size, and scope of our competitors. The CEO Target Total Payout was set at $13.3 million, the median CEO compensation of the revised Peer Group. The CEO Target Total Payout increased 20% relative to the prior-year CEO Target Total Payout of $11.1 million, driven by higher compensation for CEOs in the Peer Group. The CEO Target Total Payout would have increased 37% relative to the prior-year amount, had Ares not been removed from the Peer Group. | |

Incentive Compensation Performance Assessment: Metric Descriptions / Rationale and Target-Setting Methodology | ||||
Metric | Description / Rationale | Target-Setting Methodology | ||
Annual Adjusted EBITDA | •Key top-line growth metric at AMG tied to the long-term value creation of the business, measuring AMG profit net of interest expense, taxes, and non-cash depreciation amortization — indicates the condition of AMG’s Affiliate earnings on an ownership-weighted basis, the efficacy of capital reinvested for growth, and management of corporate expenses •In performance year 2024, this metric, which includes annual performance fee earnings, replaced Annual Management Fee EBITDA, to better reflect the growing contribution of performance fee earnings in our business | •Annual growth in Adjusted EBITDA is influenced by the following primary factors: 1.Change in market asset levels for the year (time weighted), estimated based on publicly available market composite data (“Beta”); 2.Relative investment performance by AMG’s Affiliates; 3.Asset-based fee rates and annual performance fee earnings generation; 4.Annual expenses incurred by AMG and certain of our Affiliates; 5.AMG’s ownership levels across our Affiliate group; and 6.Adjusted EBITDA contributed by new Affiliate investments •For performance year 2024, the Committee adopted a target of +3% growth relative to reported Adjusted EBITDA for 2023 •We believe that the resulting target is a rigorous metric given that the year-over-year change in Adjusted EBITDA is reflective of management’s execution against its strategy (described above) and regardless of the impact of Beta on AMG’s business across a range of reasonable market outcome scenarios •Beginning in 2023, a minimum threshold was included in measuring this metric, set at 50% of the target, and below which the metric would result in 0% achievement | ||
Annual Economic Earnings per Share (EEPS) | •Most comprehensive measure of overall earnings contribution on a per-unit basis; please refer to AMG’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full definition •Incorporates aggregate condition of Affiliates, corporate expenses, capital structure, tax exposure, and the full weight of capital allocation decisions (deployment of capital into growth investments and share repurchases) | •EEPS is a key non-GAAP performance metric •Annual growth in EEPS is influenced by similar principal factors that affect Adjusted EBITDA (see #s 1-6 above) and also includes the impact of taxes, interest expense, and share repurchases •For performance year 2024, the Committee adopted a target of +5% growth relative to the prior-year actual achievement, consistent with the approach for performance year 2023 •We believe that the resulting EEPS target is a rigorous metric given that the year-over-year change in EEPS is reflective of management’s execution against its strategy, regardless of the impact of Beta on AMG’s business across a range of reasonable market outcome scenarios •Beginning in 2023, a minimum threshold was included in measuring this metric, set at 50% of the target, and below which the metric would result in 0% achievement | ||
Incentive Compensation Performance Assessment: Metric Descriptions / Rationale and Target-Setting Methodology (cont.) | ||||
Metric | Description / Rationale | Target-Setting Methodology | ||
Relative Earnings Growth: Percentile Rank | •Relative growth ranking vs. Peer Group across GAAP EPS and EEPS (equally-weighted); relative metric reduces impact of macro factors •EEPS is one of AMG’s key performance metrics, but must be calculated by us for certain peers that do not disclose a comparable metric. Given that all public companies must report under GAAP, diluted GAAP EPS is included in the composite metric, enhancing conformity across the Peer Group. Idiosyncratic issues across each metric are offset by equally weighting EEPS vs. GAAP EPS; short-term anomalies are offset by comparing across a 3-year period | •Target for AMG’s relative growth ranking vs. Peer Group across GAAP EPS and EEPS (equally- weighted) is the peer median (50th percentile); a score of 100% indicates median performance •Given this is a relative metric, minimum threshold for this metric of 0% based on relative ranking with Peer Group and maximum score capped at 200% | ||
Absolute TSR | •TSR metrics directly link Performance Assessment with shareholder investment experience •Absolute metric accounts for AMG’s unique exposures that are not captured in the Peer Group •1- / 3- / 5-year composites (with 30% / 50% / 20% weights, respectively) recognize annual performance while also aligning incentives with longer-term stockholder return | •Target for the Absolute TSR, Annualized, metric (1-, 3-, and 5-Year Composite) was set at 10%, given cost of capital estimated utilizing the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”), including assumptions for the risk- free rate, equity risk premium, and long-term beta •Minimum threshold set if composite performance falls below 0% for measurement period | ||
Relative TSR | •TSR metrics directly link Performance Assessment with shareholder investment experience •Relative metric provides comparability with Peer Group and mitigates macro impact(s) on individual stocks’ return •1- / 3- / 5-year composites (with 30% / 50% / 20% weights, respectively) recognize annual performance while also aligning incentives with longer-term stockholder return | •Target for the Relative TSR, Annualized, metric (1-, 3-, and 5-Year Composite) was set at the peer median (50th percentile); a score of 100% indicates median performance •Given this is a relative metric, minimum threshold for this metric of 0% based on relative ranking with Peer Group and maximum score capped at 200% | ||
Average Annualized New Investments Yield: 3-Year | •Measures average pre-tax cash returns on new investments on a 3-year time-weighted basis, therefore indicating efficacy of effort to invest in new Affiliates over the period; 3-year period offsets short-term anomalies •Incents a focus on pricing, structure, and long-term growth potential | •Target pre-tax cost of equity of 12% is estimated utilizing the CAPM, including assumptions for the risk- free rate, equity risk premium, and long-term beta •Minimum threshold set if 3-year annualized yield falls below 0% for measurement period | ||
Average Adjusted Return on Capital: 3- Year | •Time-weighted annual after-tax return on investment from capital deployed over 3-year period across the combination of new investments and share repurchases (together accounting for the significant majority of AMG’s discretionary capital decisions) •Incents a disciplined approach to capital allocation across growth investments and share repurchases as management creates shareholder value over time; 3-year period offsets short-term anomalies | •Target after-tax cost of capital of 10% is estimated utilizing the CAPM, including assumptions for the risk- free rate, equity risk premium, long-term beta, and tax rate •Minimum threshold set if 3-year average adjusted return on capital falls below 0% for measurement period | ||
AUM Contribution from Selected Strategic Target Areas | •Measures the notional level of AUM dedicated to select strategic target areas that management has identified as benefiting from structural, long-term secular tailwinds and are therefore focus areas for AMG. The selected strategic target areas include strategies dedicated to private markets, liquid alternatives, and sustainable investment. AMG increasingly participates in these secular growth areas via investments in new Affiliates or collaborating with existing Affiliates in product development or enhancing capabilities; targets are reconsidered annually to ensure appropriate progress is incented over time | •Target set relative to the prior-year contribution level of AMG notional AUM in these strategies | ||
Employee Engagement Survey Score | •Percentage of AMG employees indicating overall job satisfaction in formal annual employee engagement survey, relative to industry benchmark satisfaction rate | •Target set relative to an industry benchmark satisfaction rate | ||
