Affiliated Managers Group delivers 36% operating margins, a perfect Piotroski financial strength score of 9 out of 9, and four consecutive earnings beats, and screens attractively at a forward multiple of 9 times with a PEG ratio near 1.1; however, free cash flow converts at only 31% of net income, RSI sits at an overbought 80, and the stock is just 1.0% below its near-term resistance target — the setup favors patience over adding.

About Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.
About Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.
Affiliated Managers Group's Affiliates managed $813 billion in AUM at December 31, 2025—$146 billion in private markets, $227 billion in liquid alternatives, $312 billion in equities, and $128 billion in multi-asset/fixed income. The majority of Affiliates are registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, with UK-active Affiliates regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. AMG employed approximately 250 direct staff of the roughly 5,600 total AMG and Affiliate employees at year-end 2025.
AMG's revenue derives from structured partnership interests in each Affiliate under two primary structures: a contractual share of Affiliate revenue without regard to expenses (comprising Affiliates that generate a majority of consolidated revenue), or a share of revenue less agreed-upon expenses. Fee income varies by Affiliate investment performance, product mix, and AUM levels. Performance-based fees—which include high-watermark provisions requiring underperforming products to recover prior losses before new fees accrue—can fluctuate significantly period to period. Growth investments have shifted over more than three decades toward alternative strategies in private markets and liquid alternatives. Distribution capabilities extend to institutional and wealth clients across the U.S., Europe, UK, Middle East, and Asia. AMG's U.S. wealth distribution subsidiary is registered with the SEC and sponsors mutual funds under the Investment Company Act; its UK institutional subsidiary is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Show full overview
The filing discloses that certain Affiliates contribute more significantly to AMG's results and that changes in their fee levels 'could have a disproportionate adverse impact' on the company's financial condition. This exposure is compounded by investment management contracts that are typically terminable without penalty on notice not longer than 60 days, making high-contribution Affiliates' client bases sensitive to rapid withdrawal. AMG carried $2.7 billion in outstanding debt and $285.0 million in unfunded general partner and seed capital commitments at December 31, 2025, meaning any sudden Affiliate AUM contraction could simultaneously compress revenues and constrain financial flexibility.
