Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.

Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) is a global asset management company headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. Founded in 1993, AMG operates as a strategic partner and long-term investor in a diverse array of independent investment management firms, referred to as "Affiliates." Its core mission is to build and nurture these partnerships by providing strategic capital, operational expertise, and a global distribution platform, while preserving the entrepreneurial spirit and investment autonomy of its Affiliates.

Through its network of Affiliates, AMG offers a comprehensive range of investment strategies and products across various asset classes.

AMG has demonstrated strong market positioning, particularly with its strategic pivot towards alternative asset strategies. In the first quarter of 2026, the company reported record assets under management (AUM) of $882 billion and record net client cash inflows exceeding $22 billion, largely driven by demand in liquid alternatives and private markets. Jay C. Horgen serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer.
