Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AMG

09/25/2026: AMG (5-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) is an asset management firm that uses a decentralized multi-boutique model to provide institutional and retail investors with access to diverse, specialized investment strategies. The company's strengths lie in its ability to partner with entrepreneurial boutique firms while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and share repurchases. While it offers a unique growth opportunity through its focus on high-margin alternatives and specialized equities, the business faces significant risks from market volatility and the industry-wide shift toward low-cost passive investing. It best suits investors seeking specialized market exposure rather than stable income, and it is crucial for investors to monitor affiliate performance and industry fee trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AMG receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AMG has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+40.1%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 41.1%) are partially offset by modest insider ownership of 4.23%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AMG's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $1.0B (41.1% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is AMG's strongest growth driver at +40.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, revenue growth (+19.8%, solid) is also solid, while free-cash-flow growth (+8.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 100.6% and approximately 96.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.23% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 11.09%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 6.70%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.26%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.54%
Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc 3.87%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AMG generates approximately $860 of gross profit, $318 of operating income, and $411 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.80%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AMG has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
