Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AMG

10/23/2026: AMG (5-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 15 days. Simulated Profits (0.71%). Updated daily EoD!

Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. operates as a multi-boutique asset manager, partnering with independent investment firms to provide diverse strategies to institutional and retail investors. Its primary strength lies in a decentralized business model that attracts top investment talent while maintaining operational autonomy. The main growth opportunity involves reallocating capital toward high-growth alternative and private market strategies to counter fee pressure. However, the company faces significant risks from the secular industry shift toward passive investing and the inherent volatility of performance-based fees. AMG is best suited for value-oriented investors who believe in the resilience of active, specialized asset management and wish to monitor management's success in rotating the boutique portfolio toward private markets.

Investor Fit

Investor styleFitWhy
Growth investorMixed fitAMG offers exposure to the growth of independent alternative managers, but growth is heavily tied to volatile market cycles.
Momentum investorStrong fit while signal remains positiveThe stock can exhibit strong price movement during periods of market optimism and rising AUM.
Value investorStrong fitThe company often trades at reasonable valuation multiples compared to peers, appealing to those seeking value in financial services.
Dividend investorWeak fitAMG focuses capital allocation primarily on share repurchases and business growth rather than consistent dividend payments.
Low-risk investorWeak fitThe inherent sensitivity to market beta and performance fee volatility makes this a higher-risk equity choice.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AMG receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, solid quantitative characteristics, and solid analyst coverage. 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.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 10.72%
Morgan Stanley - Brokerage Accounts 5.75%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.38%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.45%
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 margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 23.80%

Quantitative Style Profile

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

Geography: North America / InternationalDiversified asset base across US and global markets, though heavily concentrated in US-domiciled investment products.The company's performance is tied to global financial markets, with a slight tilt toward US economic performance.
