Key Investment Highlights
● Growing assets under management (AUM): During
the same month the company’s 20th anniversary of its
NYSE listing AMG reached a milestone surpassing 804
billion AUM the key component of revenue growth. As
AMG continues to expand its affiliated partners it will
absorb the invested assets into its pool of revenue
sources. This effect compounded with record market
performances that have been recorded thus far this year.
● Expanding distribution platform: AMG gained 5
more affiliates adding those firms to its global platform
of investment strategies. These partnerships are key to
expansion, access, and growth. Access to these
strategies offer new products to clients. Broadening the
spectrum of investment strategies. Ultimately growing
AUM.
● Boutique alternative investment strategies: The
Boutique investments firms in which AMG has
developed partnerships bring a key competitive
advantage to their platform. They offer unique
investment strategies that would otherwise be
inaccessible or at least difficult to utilize without the
global distribution platform AMG is able to provide.
This attracts investors that are seeking an edge in their
strategy.
● Heavily dependent on market returns: AMG high
raw beta of 2.175. Negative net income in 2008 during
the financial crisis and revenues shrunk as expected.
Naturally a more volatile stock for a company with a
revenue stream dependent on AUM. It's only logical
AMG could would fare worse in economic downturn.
As an actively managed firm it is possible that would
perform better than passive in uncertain market
conditions as some competitors are more passive
aligned firms.
● Changing Industry: As more investors become more
aware of the cost advantages of passive investing the
competition forces expense ratios down on investment
products. Lower expense ratios will cut into the profits
of actively managed investment like the ones provided
by AMG and affiliates.
One Year Stock Performance

Executive Summary Our team of analysts have recommended a SELL rating for
Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. stock. Our decision was based on
many aspects of the changing economic landscape and the effect it
will have on AMG. The company has several key competitive
advantages that will keep AMG as a stable company, but we
believe the best of its growth has passed. AMG is ultimately driven
by the assets under management which has grown significantly in
recent years, but this growth will slow as the economic
environment changes. AMG offers a unique advantage as it offers
unique investment products and strategies over its global
distribution platform. These advantages will help the growth of
AMG relative to competitors, but ultimately the majority of its
growth are favored from stock market returns.
Economic Analysis Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Real gross domestic product (GDP) is a measurement of the
inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services by a nation’s
economy in a given year.2 According to the advance estimate
released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real GDP increased
3.1percent in the second quarter, and real GDP increased 3 percent
at an annual rate in the quarter three of 2017.3
Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis3
Compared to 2 percent increased in the second quarter, the third
quarter is slightly decreased by 0.1 percent. The deceleration in
real GDP in the third quarter primarily reflected decelerations in
personal consumption expenditures (PCE), in nonresidential fixed
investment, and in exports that were partly offset by an
acceleration in private investment and a downturn in imports.3
The financial sector has high correlation to GDP as the sector
relies on individual’s abilities and willingness to invest
money. When GDP is high, more people are able and willing
to manage their money in financial investments. Therefore,
we generally expect companies in the financial sector to
perform favorably.
Inflation:
A measure of the purchasing power of each unit of currency.
It is usually measured in Consumer Price Index. Inflation will
generally affect the consumer purchasing power, money
supply, stock price, stock returns, and economic growth. The
change of variable will cause the fluctuation of the supply
and demand in financial sector. Focusing on this variable can
help companies to identify the trend of the industry as well as
the financial investment and the return that companies
invested.
Source: Trading Economics4
The inflation rate is projected to increase slowly in the future.
Per the above data, the indication is that inflation rate is
projected to raise around 2% in short term and will increase
to 2.5% in 2-3 years. In short term, higher inflation rates
benefit the financial and real estate industry since it improves
the purchasing power for customers to invest more money in
the industry that could increase the profits of financial
companies that have assets in the industry.
Based on the inflation rate forecast, the inflation rate is
increasing slowly in the future. Higher inflation rates benefit
the financial sector since it improves the purchasing power
for customers to invest more money in the industry that could
increase the profits of financial companies that have assets in
the industry.
Interest rates:
Interest rates are critical to the financial sector. Increases in
interest rates directly increases the yield on banks’ cash
holdings from customer balances and business activities, in
which increases the profits of the bank. In addition, low
interest rate will make money less expensive to borrow and
will encourage more people and businesses to borrow money.
Therefore, when interest rates are expected to rise, people are
more likely rush out to borrow money.
Industry Analysis Industry Overview
Asset management refers to an active management of an investor’s
portfolio by a financial services company. The institution offers
investment services along with trading and alternative securities
offering and first access to public offerings that are typically not
provided to the average investors5.

Current product lines: hedge funds, mutual funds, private equity,
venture capital, and other financial investments
Revenue streams:
According to the BCG report “The value of global AuM grew by
7% in 2016, to $69.1 trillion from $64.6 trillion. This was a
marked improvement over 2015, when it rose only 1%, and it
exceeded the average annualized rate of 5% from 2008 through
2014.” Because of the rising market values, the global asset
management industry grew by 7% which would be a great
condition for the industry.6

Recent Development and Industry Trends:
Asset management industry has not performed well in the recent
year. The current business model and product of this industry are
going towards to the edge. As the demographic changed, the
preference of customer shift towards to technology based.7 The
development of FinTech that combines data and artificial
intelligence shapes the industry to be more digital and data driven8.
Majority asset management companies are facing the pressure of
the increasing manager fees and the regulation obligation on
managers that hinder industry to develop business and increase
operational risk9. Embedding Fintech in the industry is considered
as the new trend and strategy of most of the lead companies in the
industry. Firms start to move their old style of business
operation to IT based model for the sake of bring more
transparency to investors and regulation7. Aum firms are
seeking opportunities to adapt blockchain, learn artificial
intelligence and machine, develop robo-advisers and robotic
process automation to improve their efficiency on services
and product10.
Markets and Competition:
Current Climate:
The industry is affected by three factors: regulatory burden,
new financial technology entry and customer preference.
Regulatory Burden: SEC has increased expectation on
enhance transparency on the information disclosure,
compliance, conduct standards and etc. to monitor the
industry and control risk. Moreover, the DOL has
strengthened their restriction on conflict of interest of
advisers and asset managers11.
Financial Technology: As the technology develop,
digitalization is being introduced to many asset management
firms. Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence implement, machine
learning, robo-advisers and robotic process automation are
becoming the trend for asset management firm to switch their
internal operation11.
Customer Preference: Millennials gradually become the
dominant investors who are more favor using the social
media and digital technology to interact their investment.
Passive approach investments seems to be the popular the
choice in the current demographic. Providing service and
product based consumer preference is a good strategy to main
market share and client relationship11.
Major players in this industry:
BlackRock(BLK)
Vanguard
State Street Global Advisors
Fidelity Investments
J.P. Morgan Asset Management
BNY Mellon Investment Management
PIMCO
Of all the major players, BlackRock is the best positioned in
the asset management industry since it is the world’s largest
asset manager with $5.7 trillion in asset under management
as of July 201712.
Five Forces:
1. Threat of new entry: Low
Even though new asset management companies coming up
can be a threat to the existing company, the threat is
relatively low since the asset management industry not only
requires skills, professional techniques and efficient data structures
to build up clients’ confidence and the company’s reputation.
Therefore, it is comparably difficult for the new entry to establish
these standards in short term.
2. Threat of substitutes: Medium
Even though investment requires professional skills and
diversifications to reduce the risk of the investments.
There are the individual investors who would like to manage their
own investments without asset manager’s advisory. Additionally,
there are large volume of funds flowing into passively managed
funds.
3. Bargaining power of customers: High
According to a recent report from Deloitte, shifts in investor
buying behavior is a force that can shape the asset management
industry. Both institutional and retail investors are concerning
about fee and transparency. The leading firms should try their best
to develop efficient data structures to facilitate accounting and
reporting to enhance the customer's confidence in investing their
money with the asset managers13.
4. Bargaining power of suppliers: Moderate
Information industry market research is a significant resource for
the asset management industry. The competition between the
suppliers are very high among two major players that take the
greater market share. According to the Baron, the Bloomberg's
share was 33.33 percent and Thomson Reuters’ share was 24.29
percent. The rest is divided among smaller players. Even though
there are only two majors player they keep each other in balance14.
5. Industry Rivalry: Moderate
According to the Forbe The top three companies including
BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street dominates 70% of market
share in the global ETF assets industry. Even though they earn
most of the market share in the global ETF assets industry, there is
still a big competition among the three companies15.

Per the information on the charts, Diamond Hill Investments
GrouP, Inc. (DHIL) is considered as the lead in terms of
highest sales, net income, profit margin and not any debt
issue. However, it is the best position company based on the
last three months stork price data. Comparing with other
industry peers, it stays low and less fluctuations due to the
less outstanding shares in the stock price in general among
others. BlackRock seems have a potential to grow and lead
the industry based on the outlook of economic and industry.
It has small market cap than DHIL and relative high on EPS,
P/E ratio, profit margin and dividend payout with 160.98
million outstanding shares. Besides, it has smaller percentage
of price change and it has uptrend grow on the stock price
from historical data, which indicates the stock is growing
relative stable in the slowly grow economic.
Catalysts for Growth/Change:
Economic Pressure: Declaration on GDP growth rate leads
the capital markets to have low returns. Asset managers are
facing huge pressure on maintaining and increasing revenues
on portfolios22.
Distributor Consolidation: Decreasing buyers motive the
industry to enhance relationship between financial advisor
and clients. Moreover, technology is gradually implemented
to replace old fashioned style of advising22.
Demand for new capabilities: The current product is having less
attractive to the market. New product development, like multi-asset
portfolio, illiquid strategies, quantitative strategies and etc, is
essential for the industry going forward22.
Shifting Value Chain: Demographic switching and high
accelerating development on technology drive the industry to
innovate on their operation to satisfy consumers’ demand22.
Investment Positives and Negatives:
Some investment negatives includes demographic shift, which
more and more investors are in younger age. Given that, those old
fashioned and services becomes hard to satisfy and need to updates
to meet the young clients. On the other hand, asset management
industry requires an efficient model and those model needs to
update with the current economic and trends. FinTech and AI
Robotic system can facilitate the industry to build a more efficient
and more accurate models, which will be a potential benefits for
the asset management industry.
Company Analysis Overview and business description:
Affiliated Managers Group (AMG) is a global asset management
company with equity investments in leading boutique investment
management firms. AMG has ownership stakes in some affiliated
investment boutiques. These affiliates provide a comprehensive
and diverse range of active return-oriented strategies and products
to achieve their customer's’ investment objectives. As of December
31, 2016, AMG managed 688.7 billion in over 550 investment
products across a broad range of active return-oriented strategies
and distribution channels23.
Corporate Strategy
AMG's strategy is to generate shareholder value through the
growth of existing Affiliates, as well as through investments in
new Affiliates and additional investments in existing Affiliates.
The firm also seeks to help its affiliate firms grow in value by
providing a centralized source of support for strategy, marketing,
distribution, product development and operations24.
Life Cycle
AMG is on the same trend in growth as the industry. The AUM
industry is currently in a growing state but the rate is decreasing.
Fee revenues continue to decline but there is an increasing ETF
market and there is a still strong growth in the asset management
fees which is related to the aging Baby Boomer generation25. The
company is adjusting to the increasing awareness of asset
management fees but are finding ways to keep revenues up and
slightly growing. It is possible that the U.S. government can undo
some regulation that had an effect on fee revenue. This would have
a positive effect on growth. At this moment the company is still
slightly in the growth stage.
Financial Summary
According to 10-K, AMG’s Adjusted EBITDA increased in
2016, but its Net income decreased by $36.7 million or 7%,
primarily due to an increase in other non-operating expenses
of $44.2 million relating to Imputed interest expense and
contingent payment arrangements. The increase in Imputed
interest expense and contingent payment arrangements was
primarily due to a $44.7 million non-cash gain on contingent
payment obligations recorded in 2015, which did not reoccur
to the same extent in 201623.
The other changes in Net income according to 10-K include
an increase in Equity method intangible amortization of
$24.9 million in 2016, primarily due to the full-year impact
of AMG’s 2015 investments in new Affiliates and the partial-
year impact of its 2016 investments in new Affiliates, offset
by a decrease of $28.6 million in Income taxes primarily due
to the decline in our share of Income before taxes23.

Production and Distribution
Distribution
AMG global distribution platform is a key strategy to AMG
growth and competitive advantage. By owning stake in
companies around the world it gives them access to
alternative investment strategies in global and regional
markets not normally available to investors. This ability to
connect clients with unique investments is a major advantage
for AMG.
Competition
Competitive environment
Affiliates compete with a broad range of domestic and
foreign investment management firms, including public,
private and client-owned investment advisors, firms
managing passive strategies as well other firms managing
active return-oriented strategies, firms associated with
securities broker-dealers, financial institutions, insurance
companies, private equity firms, sovereign wealth funds and
other entities that serve our three principal distribution
channels. This competition may reduce the fees that
Affiliates can obtain for investment management services23.

Other Topics
Research and Development
AMG has done extensive research into the Boutique
advantage. Active vs passive. They analyzed over 1200
individual investment management firms around the world
and nearly 500 institutional equity strategies. They find 7 key
insights in their research summarizing the strong evidence that
boutiques have added value.
7 key insights to the Boutique Advantage
1. Boutiques broadly outperformed non-boutiques
2. Top-performing boutiques added more value for clients than
bottom-performing boutiques detracted
3. Boutiques created significant value versus indices
4. Top-performing boutiques generated exceptional excess returns
versus indices
5. Boutique strategies, on average, had a high frequency of
outperforming indices
6. Individual boutique strategies outperformed indices more often
than not
7. Boutique outperformance versus indices was persistent
Government regulation
Recent fiduciary changes to wealth management will affect how
the AMG operates their relationship with clients. AMG considers
themselves as fiduciaries already and see the proposed rule will
only harm investors because it shields them from a full disclosure
of information. It hampers the ability of asset managers from
acting in the best interest of plan clients31.
Valuation Analysis In our discounted cash flow an economic profit model analyses, we
determined that AMG to have a SELL rating. Our valuation found
the intrinsic stock price to be lower than the current price of
$182.86. We forecasted the future cash flows out to the year of
2021. This is less than a 5 year forecast. We chose this length due
to the nature of the industry. As an investment firm it performance
is very dependent stock market performance in which AMG’s
revenues have been dependent on. We predict a slowing stock
market and this will present a challenge to AMG’s growth.
We predict growth slowing down even as AMG aggressively
pursues new source of AUM. This is due to the slowing of the
stock market and increasing competitive forces of passive
investments forcing the AUM expense ratios down and cutting
revenues for AMG. We assume that the company is striving to
reach 1 trillion in AUM within the next 4 years and that they will
do so by the end of our forecast. Although, a sluggish stock market
presents a challenge to this milestone we believe that AMG will
achieve the 1 trillion mark due to its competitive advantage of
boutique investment firms and its global distribution platform.
These advantages will influence AMG’s growth rate to remain
Revenue Growth
The company’s revenue is driven by assets under management.
AMG continues to invest in partnering firms assets under
management grows. In 2016 AMG gained 4 new affiliate
investment firms and 8 new affiliates during 2014 and 2015. With
each new affiliate AUM grows accordingly. This growth
ultimately drives revenue. We forecasted the growth as percentage
of AUM. Historically the revenues have averaged 0.43% of total
AUM over the last 10 years. This average is also decreasing
as time progresses. This is due to the decreasing expense
ratios that are hindering growth. This factor along with the
expectation of a slowing stock market has lead us to
developing a decreasing growth rate over time.
Source: Affiliated Managers Group Website23
We begin with the growth rate of AUM at 8.78% and shrink
the rate by 4% over the next 2 years to 4.78%. This will level
off to 5% of continuing value growth. Revenues follow as
0.37% of total AUM.
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
We calculated a WACC of 9.80% using our capital structure
of 81.60% equity and 18.40% debt. The WACC is derived
from the cost of debt and cost of equity that are explained
below.
Cost of Debt
To calculate our cost of debt, we use the risk free rate plus
the spread from the rating A3 to get the pre-tax cost of debt
of 3.74%. We then calculated the after-tax cost of debt by
multiplying the pre-tax cost of debt by one minus marginal
tax rate of 35%. The after-tax cost of debt we calculated for
AMG is 2.43%.
Cost of Equity
To calculate our cost of equity, we used the Capital Asset
Pricing Model (CAPM). The three variables we used to
calculate the CAPM are as follows:
Beta = 1.78
Market risk premium (MRP) = 4.81%
Risk-free rate = 2.88%
We calculated Beta by using AMG’s average weekly one-
year and two-year betas reported on Bloomberg. The market
risk premium equals was derived from Damodaran’s 12
month cash free yield. The risk free rate used reflects the
current yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury.
Discounted Cash Flow & Economic Profit Model
By using the discounted cash flow and economic profit model, we
calculated a stock price for AMG of $163.10, which we believe is
an accurate representation of the company's intrinsic value. We
assume the CV growth rate of 5% using the WACC and Cost of
Equity based as we calculated from the above.
Dividend Discount Model (DDM)
We do believe the dividend discount model is a more accurate
representation of the current value of AMG and we refers the
model to evaluate the target price in the future. We calculated
AMG’s stock price using expected future earnings per share and
dividend, and we came up $178.55 for the intrinsic value. This
gives us some sense of the price tends to fall in the future as the
data is less than the current price today.
Relative Valuation Model
We used a relative model to compare the peer competitors within
the asset management industry based on the average project P/E
ratio. The average P/E ratio for 2017 that we came up was 15.07,
which is lower than the P/E ratio that AMG projected. The implied
value that we got from the model for 2017 was $121.63. However,
we decided to not take this price as consideration since AMG is a
special company that have special structure, it is complicated to
compared with other competitors.
Sensitivity Analysis CV growth of ROIC and WACC
We tested the terminal growth of ROIC vs WACC to test how
sensitive the stock price is to changes in our forecast. Incremental
changes in ROIC have little influence on price. Changes in WACC
do have a large impact on price. Any increase in WACC will
significantly reduce the stock price.
CV growth rate and WACC
We tested the terminal growth rate vs WACC to test how sensitive
the stock price is to changes in our forecast. We found that
incremental changes in either will have a significant impact on
price. The stock price changes inversely to each other but CV
growth rate has the great impact on price.
