Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, 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

Executive Overview
AMG is a strategic partner to leading independent investment firms globally. Our strategy is to generate long-term value
by investing in a diverse array of high-quality independent partner-owned firms, referred 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
September 30, 2024 , our aggregate assets under management were approximately $728 billion across a diverse range of
private markets, liquid alternatives, and differentiated long-only investment strategies.
In the second quarter of 2024, we completed our minority investment in Suma Capital (“Suma”), a pan-European private
markets firm that invests in the transition to a lower carbon economy. Following the close of the transaction, Suma partners
continue to hold a significant majority of the equity of the firm and direct its day-to-day operations.
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, our 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.

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
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 provide a diverse range of differentiated return streams through their specialized investment processes. We
continue to see client demand for alternative strategies, as evidenced by our net inflows in this category for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2024 . At the same time, our equity strategies saw outflows in line with client cash flow trends
across the industry. We continue to invest our capital and resources in areas aligned with long-term client demand trends, most
notably in private markets and liquid alternatives . 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. We also anticipate that independent
investment firms will continue to seek access to an evolving range of partnership solutions, and that we have a significant
opportunity to invest in additional high-quality firms across the global investment management industry.

___________________________
(1) Past performance is not indicative of future results. Performance and AUM information is as of September 30, 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 liquid alternative, global equity, and U.S. 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.
(3) 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.
30
Table of Contents
(4) 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.
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 a
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 billed less frequently than asset-based fees and will vary from period to
period because they inherently depend on investment performance. As of September 30, 2024 , approximately 27% of our total
assets under management could potentially earn performance-based fees. These percentages were approximately 12% and 46%
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 $1,157.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 , an increase of $159.6 million or
16% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 . The increase in our aggregate fees was due to a $97.2 million
or 10% increase from asset-based fees and a $62.4 million or 6% increase from performance-based fees, primarily in our liquid
alternatives strategies. The increase in asset-based fees was principally due to an increase in our average assets under
management, primarily in our alternatives strategies, and changes in the composition of our assets under management primarily
driven by investments in new Affiliates.
Aggregate fees were $3,726.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , an increase of $221.1 million or 6%
as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 . The increase in our aggregate fees was due to a $245.7 million or
7% increase from asset-based fees, offset by a $24.6 million or 1% decrease from performance-based fees, primarily in our
liquid alternatives strategies. The increase in asset-based fees was principally due to an increase in our average assets under
management, primarily in our alternatives strategies, and changes in the composition of our assets under management primarily
driven by investments in new Affiliates.

measures and are discussed in “Supplemental Financial Performance Measures.”
31
Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) is an important supplemental financial performance measure for management.
Our Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) increased $5.7 million or 3% in the three months ended September 30, 2024
primarily due to a $159.6 million or 16% increase in aggregate fees. Adjusted EBITDA increased less than aggregate fees on a
percentage basis primarily due to the recognition of performance-based fees earned by Affiliates in which we hold a lesser
economic interest.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , our Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest) increased $51.8 million or
8% , primarily from investments in new Affiliates and the recognition of performance-based fees earned by Affiliates in which
we hold a greater economic interest.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 , our Net income (controlling interest) decreased $93.4 million or 43% .
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 (“Veritable”) in the third quarter of 2023 (the “ Veritable Transaction”), partially offset by a $46.4
million decrease in Income tax expense attributable to the controlling interest.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , our Net income (controlling interest) decreased $127.3 million or 27% .
This decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a $133.1 million pre-tax gain associated with the Veritable Transaction in
the third quarter of 2023 and a $30.4 million decrease in Investment and other income attributable to the controlling interest.
These decreases were partially offset by a $26.2 million decrease in Income tax expense attributable to the controlling interest.
We believe Economic net income (controlling interest) is an important supplemental financial performance measure
because it represents our performance before non-cash expenses relating to the acquisition of interests in Affiliates and
improves comparability of performance between periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 , our Economic net
income (controlling interest) increased $3.7 million or 2% , primarily due to a $5.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA
(controlling interest), partially offset by a $3.6 million increase in Interest expense attributable to the controlling interest.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , our Economic net income (controlling interest) increased $20.9 million or
4% , primarily due to a $51.8 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA (controlling interest). This increase was partially offset by
a $26.2 million increase in current and other deferred taxes attributable to the controlling interest and a $5.7 million increase in
Interest expense attributable to the controlling interest.

private markets strategies. The decrease in asset-based fees was principally due to changes in the composition of our assets
under management driven by the Veritable Transaction, offset by an increase in our consolidated Affiliate average assets under
management, primarily in our alternative s strategies.
Our Consolidated revenue decreased $38.6 million or 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , primarily due to
a $39.2 million or 2% decrease from asset-based fees. The decrease in asset-based fees was principally due to changes in the
composition of our assets under management driven by the Veritable Transaction and a decrease in our consolidated Affiliate
average assets under management, primarily in our global equity strategies.

Compensation and related expenses increased $9.0 million or 4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $13.6 million increase in compensation accruals at Affiliates, partially offset by a decrease in compensation
and related expenses due to the Veritable Transaction.
Compensation and related expenses increased $13.5 million or 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $21.9 million increase in compensation accruals primarily at Affiliates and a $7.0 million increase in Affiliate
equity compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation and related expenses due to
the Veritable Transaction.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million or 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $3.3 million increase in professional fees and a $2.4 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.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.7 million or 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $7.3 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 $1.3 million
decrease in non-income based and other taxes.
Intangible amortization and impairments decreased $5.2 million or 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in amortization expense related to certain definite-lived assets being fully amortized
and a $1.7 million decrease due to the Veritable Transaction.
Intangible amortization and impairments decreased $15.7 million or 42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $10.6 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 $3.6 million or 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 , primarily due to a $7.6
million increase from our 6.75% junior subordinated notes issued in March 2024 (the “2064 junior subordinated notes”) and a
$2.5 million increase from our 5.50% senior unsecured notes issued in August 2024 (the “2034 senior notes”). This increase
was partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease due to the maturity of our 4.25% senior notes in February 2024 (the “2024 senior
notes”) and a $2.8 million decrease due to the repayment of our senior unsecured term loan facility (the “term loan”) .
Interest expense increased $5.7 million or 6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , primarily due to a $16.1
million increase from our 2064 junior subordinated notes and a $2.5 million increase from our 2034 senior notes. This increase
was partially offset by an $11.1 million decrease due to the maturity of our 2024 senior notes in February 2024 and a $2.5
million decrease primarily due to the repayment of our term loan.
There were no significant changes to Depreciation and other amortization for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024 .
Other expenses (net) increased $3.7 million or 47% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 , primarily due to a $3.8
million increase in expenses related to changes in the values of contingent payment obligations.

Table of Contents
Other expenses (net) decreased $4.7 million or 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , primarily due to a $5.4
million decrease in expenses related to changes in the values of contingent payment obligations.
Equity Method Income (Net)
For our Affiliates accounted for under the equity method, we use structured partnership interests in which we contractually
share in the Affiliate’s revenue or revenue less agreed-upon expenses. 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.
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) Percentage change is not meaningful.
Our equity method revenue increased $168.4 million or 36% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 , due to a
$109.1 million or 23% increase from asset-based fees and a $59.3 million or 13% increase from performance-based fees,
primarily in our liquid alternatives 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 alternatives strategies, and changes in the composition of
our assets under management primarily driven by investments in new Affiliates.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 , equity method earnings increased $14.3 million or 23% , primarily due to
a $168.4 million or 36% increase in equity method revenue. Equity method earnings increased less than equity method revenue
on a percentage basis primarily due to the recognition of performance-based fees earned by Affiliates in which we hold a lesser
economic interest and an increase in revenue at certain Affiliates in which we share in revenue less agreed-upon expenses .
Equity method intangible amortization increased $1.5 million or 7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $5.3 million increase in amortization expense due to investments in new Affiliates and a $4.5 million
increase in amortization expense due to an increase in actual and expected client attrition for certain definite-lived acquired
client relationships. These increases were partially offset by an $8.3 million decrease in amortization expense related to certain
definite-lived assets being fully amortized.
Our equity method revenue increased $259.7 million or 13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , due to a
$284.9 million or 14% increase from asset-based fees, offset by a $25.2 million or 1% decrease from performance-based fees,
primarily in our liquid alternatives 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 alternatives strategies, and changes in the composition of
our assets under management primarily driven by investments in new Affiliates.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , equity method earnings increased $75.3 million or 35% , primarily due to a
$259.7 million or 13% 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 $1.4 million or 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 ,
primarily due to a $15.8 million increase in amortization expense due to investments in new Affiliates and a $10.5 million
increase in amortization expense due to an increase in actual and expected client attrition for certain definite-lived acquired
client relationships. These increases were partially offset by a $24.9 million decrease in amortization expense related to certain
definite-lived assets being fully amortized.
Equity method intangible impairments increased $39.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 . See Note

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 $46.4 million or 60% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 . Our effective tax rate
(controlling interest) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 19.3% as compared to 25.9% for the three months
ended September 30, 2023 . The decrease in the tax rate (controlling interest) was primarily due to tax windfalls attributable to
share-based compensation in the three months ended September 30, 2024 .
Income tax expense decreased $25.4 million or 16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 . Our effective rate
(controlling interest) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 26.1% as compared to 23.9% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023 . The increase in the tax rate (controlling interest) was primarily due to discrete foreign tax benefits
and tax windfalls attributable to share-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 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 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 .

decrease in Income tax expense attributable to the controlling interest.
Supplemental Financial Performance Measures
As supplemental information, 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 (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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes Veritable Transaction gain of $133.1 million and gains of
$6.5 million and $29.6 million on ordinary shares of EQT AB (“EQT”), a public company listed on Nasdaq Stockholm
(EQT.ST), respectively. We received the EQT shares through the sale of our equity interest in Baring Private Equity Asia
(“BPEA”), in connection with the strategic combination of BPEA and EQT, which was completed in the fourth quarter of
2022.
(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 our common stock) that occurs when these securities
are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation.

interest) and Economic earnings per share:

EQT shares of $6.5 million and $29.6 million, net of $34.9 million and $40.6 million of income tax expense, respectively.
(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. Other economic items were net of income tax expense of
$0.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024 , respectively, and $4.7 million and
$2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024 , 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 Investor Services and BBB+ by S&P
Global Ratings.
Cash and cash equivalents were $1,010.7 million as of September 30, 2024 and were attributable to both our controlling
and the non-controlling interests. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , we met our cash requirements primarily
through cash generated by operating activities. Our principal uses of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 , Cash flows from operating activities were $719.6 million , primarily from
Net income of $519.5 million and distributions of earnings received from equity method investments of $357.3 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 $100.0 million . For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , operating cash flows were
primarily attributable to the controlling interest.
Investing Cash Flow
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , Cash flows from investing activities were $370.6 million , primarily due to
$875.2 million of maturities and sales of investment securities, partially offset by $496.4 million of purchases of investment
securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , investing cash flows were primarily attributable to the controlling
interest.
Financing Cash Flow
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , Cash flows used in financing activities were $904.1 million , primarily due
to $589.5 million of repurchases of common stock (net), repayment of senior notes and senior bank debt of $400.0 million and
$350.0 million , respectively, $206.5 million of distributions to non-controlling interests, and $54.1 million of Affiliate equity
purchases, net of issuances. These items were partially offset by the issuance of junior subordinated notes and senior notes of
$450.0 million and $397.6 million, respectively.
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 September 30, 2024 , the current redemption value of Affiliate equity interests was $456.0 million , of which $397.1
million was presented as Redeemable non-controlling interests (including $13.3 million of consolidated Affiliate sponsored
investment products primarily attributable to third-party investors), and $58.9 million was included in Other liabilities.
Although the timing and amounts of these purchases are difficult to predict, we paid $60.4 million for Affiliate equity purchases
and received $6.3 million for Affiliate equity issuances during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , and we expect net
purchases of approximately $60 million of Affiliate equity during the remainder of 2024 . In the event of a purchase, we
become the owner of the cash flow associated with the purchased equity. See Notes 13 and 14 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 sha res 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. As of March 31, 2024 , we had repurchased all of
the shares in the repurchase program authorized in October 2022. D uring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ,
we repurchased 0.6 million and 3.6 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $163.23 and $158.62 ,

respectively. As of September 30, 2024 , there were a total of 5.9 million shares available for repurchase under our share
repurchase programs.
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 7 of our Consolidated Financial

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , we repaid the $350.0 million outstanding under the term loan .
As of September 30, 2024 , we had a $1.25 billion revolver. The revolver matures on October 25, 2027 and the term loan
terminated upon payment in full. Subject to certain conditions, we may increase the commitments under the revolver by up to
an additional $500.0 million .
As of September 30, 2024 , we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver, and could borrow all capacity and remain
in compliance with the revolver.
Senior Notes
In the first quarter of 2024, our $400.0 million 2024 senior notes matured and were fully repaid.

On August 20, 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 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 further repayment or refinancing of indebtedness, as well for other general
corporate purposes, which may include share repurchases and investments in new and existing Affiliates.

On March 20, 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 September 30,
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 the repayment or refinancing of indebtedness , share repurchases, and investments in
new and existing Affiliates.
Junior Convertible Securities
As of September 30, 2024 , we had $341.7 million of principal outstanding in our 5.15% junior convertible trust preferred
securities (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.
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 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.
We did not repurchase any of our junior convertible securities during the nine months ended September 30, 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”). This equity
distribution program superseded and replaced our prior equity distribution program. As of September 30, 2024 , no sales had
occurred under the equity distribution program.
