About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

† | Date reflects inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 | Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the Prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2014. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | From time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 | Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of an investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed income securities to fall. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtor’s ability to pay its creditors. Investments in foreign securities, even though publicly traded in the United States, may involve risks with are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. |
4 | The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out of favor. |
5 | The Fund invests in value stocks, which may perform differently from the market as a whole and may be undervalued by the market for a long period of time. Value stocks may underperform growth stocks during given periods. |
6 | The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000® represents approximately 92% of the U.S. market. The Russell 1000® Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
7 | The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of the U.S. investment grade fixed-rate bond market, including both government and corporate bonds. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
8 | Fixed income funds are subject to risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtor’s ability to pay its creditors. Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of a fixed income investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed income securities to fall. |
9 | The Fund holds securities in which the issuer of the security may default or otherwise be unable to honor a financial obligation. The Fund holds securities rated below investment grade that are especially susceptible to this risk. These issuers may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings, and are not as strong financially as higher-rated issuers. |
10 | The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is a total return performance benchmark for fixed income securities having a maximum quality rating of Ba1 (as determined by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.). Unlike the Fund, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
11 | High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) are subject to additional risks such as the risk of default. |
12 | Closed to new investments. |
13 | The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of the U.S. investment grade, fixed-rate bond market, including both government and corporate bonds. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Because a fund’s strategy may result in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Fund’s prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Fund’s portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Because a fund’s strategy may result in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Fund’s prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Fund’s portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds II (formerly Managers Trust II) (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different Funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (“Balanced”) (formerly Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund), AMG Managers High Yield Fund (“High Yield”) (formerly Managers High Yield Fund) and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund (“Enhanced Core Bond”) (formerly Managers AMG GW&K Fixed Income Fund), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds.” High Yield will deduct a 2.00% redemption fee from the proceeds of any redemption (including a redemption by exchange) of shares if the redemption occurs within 90 days of the purchase of those shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, High Yield had redemption fees amounting to $2,037.
Effective December 1, 2012, Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond were closed to all new investors and will no longer be available for purchase by existing shareholders, including purchase by exchange, except for purchases made by automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains pursuant to the Fund’s automatic reinvestment plan. Shareholders who redeem Class C shares of the Fund will continue to be subject to the deferred sales charges described in the Prospectus.
Balanced and Enhanced Core Bond each offer three classes of shares: Investor, Service and Institutional Class. High Yield has two classes of shares: Investor and Institutional Class. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may pay different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value per share and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the market’s official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities primarily
traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales price. The Funds’ investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”).
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Debt obligations (other than short term debt obligations that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity) will be valued using the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an authorized pricing service. Short-term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.
Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make fair value determinations for such investments. The Funds may use the fair value of a portfolio investment to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio investment is not deemed to be readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Board’s valuation procedures, if AMG Funds LLC (formerly Managers Investment Group LLC) (the “Investment Manager”) believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; and (iii) the value of other comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with a quarterly report showing as of the most recent quarter end, all outstanding securities fair valued by the Pricing Committee, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective
46
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
principal markets. Under certain circumstances, on behalf of a fund that invests primarily in international securities, the Investment Manager or applicable subadvisor may recommend an adjustment of such prices based on its determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which each Fund calculates its NAV. The Board has also adopted a policy that securities held in a fund that invests primarily in international securities and certain foreign debt obligations held by a fund, in each case, that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day without regard to a “trigger” (e.g., without regard to invoking fair value based upon a change in a U.S. equity securities index exceeding a pre-determined level). The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of securities that are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received in excess of income from return of capital including real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investment and/or as a realized gain. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as an adjustment to realized gain. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of each Fund, and certain Fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
Balanced had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture program, which paid a portion of the Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the amount by which the Fund’s expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios, if any, was $1,849 or 0.01%.
The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custodian expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Funds’ custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdraft fees are computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, overdraft fees for Balanced, High Yield and Enhanced Core Bond equaled $0, $0 and $15, respectively.
The Trust held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders approved a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy statement and shareholder meeting are being treated as “extraordinary expenses,” and, therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net
47
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The most common differences are due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to excise tax regulations, wash sales, REITS and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.
e. FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of December 31, 2013 and all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, the Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, post-enactment capital losses may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the close
of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.
f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of June 30, 2014, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.

(Post-Enactment) | | $ | 296,482 | | | | — | | | | Unlimited | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds’ policy on investment valuation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2013, the capital stock transactions by class for Balanced, High Yield and Enhanced Core Bond were:

At June 30, 2014, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Balanced – five collectively own 68%; High Yield – one collectively owns 46%; Enhanced Core Bond – three collectively own 56%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Funds.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to
49
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2014, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding for Balanced, High Yield and Enhanced Core Bond was $717,024, $1,727,257 and $1,294,072, respectively.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Funds do not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
j. FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Funds invest in securities of foreign entities and in instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Non-domestic securities carry special risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Funds would pay such foreign taxes on net realized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For each of the Funds, the Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary and the U.S. retail distribution arm of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisors for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. Balanced is managed by Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”). Enhanced Core Bond is managed by Gannett Welsh & Kotler, LLC (“GW&K”). AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in CEP and GW&K.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Funds’ investment management fee were paid at the following annual rate of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Balanced | | | 0.70 | % |
High Yield | | | 0.70 | % |
Enhanced Core Bond | | | 0.45 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2015, to waive management fees (but not below zero) and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Balanced, High Yield and Enhanced Core Bond to 0.84%, 0.90% and 0.59%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances.
Each Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause that Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed that Fund’s contractual expense limitation amount. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, each Fund’s components of reimbursement available are detailed in the following chart:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Balanced | | | High Yield | | | Enhanced Core Bond | |
Reimbursement Available - 12/31/13 | | $ | 402,345 | | | $ | 516,472 | | | $ | 861,647 | |
Additional Reimbursements | | | 76,372 | | | | 80,639 | | | | 105,786 | |
Expired Reimbursements | | | (49,882 | ) | | | (79,163 | ) | | | (148,078 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Reimbursement Available - 6/30/14 | | $ | 428,835 | | | $ | 517,948 | | | $ | 819,355 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Each Fund has entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as the Funds’ administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for all aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund, its shareholders, and certain institutions, such as bank trust departments, broker-dealers and registered investment advisers, that advise or act as an intermediary with the Funds’ shareholders. The Funds pay a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets for this service.
The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board is $130,000, plus $7,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $35,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated among all of the Funds in the Trusts for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the AMG Funds family of mutual funds (“AMG Funds family”).
50
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Prior to January 1, 2014, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts formerly received an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $10,000 per year.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (formerly Managers Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally the Distributor bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Investor Class and Class C shares in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each such class of the Fund’s shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributor up to 0.25% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class shares and 1.00% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares.
For the Balanced and Enhanced Core Bond Service Classes, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses incurred (“shareholder servicing fees.”) Shareholder servicing fees include payments to third parties such as a bank, broker-dealer, trust company or other financial intermediaries who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Service Class shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Class’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below.
The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Maximum Amount Allowed | | | Actual Amount Incurred | |
Balanced | | | | | | | | |
Service Class | | | 0.10 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
Enhanced Core Bond | | | | | | | | |
Service Class | | | 0.10 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible Funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending Funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating Fund. The Investment Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the following Funds either borrowed from or lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family: Enhanced Core Bond lent $1,019,303, for five days earning interest of $86 and High Yield lent varying amounts not exceeding $1,442,962 for five days earning interest of $91. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Balanced neither borrowed from nor lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2014, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the six months ended June 30, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Securities (excluding U.S. Government Obligations) | | | U.S. Government Obligations | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Balanced | | $ | 22,308,654 | | | $ | 18,348,447 | | | $ | 8,495,331 | | | $ | 6,517,599 | |
High Yield | | | 11,057,392 | | | | 7,236,045 | | | | n/a | | | | n/a | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | | 9,205,915 | | | | 40,667,410 | | | | n/a | | | | n/a | |
4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM (the “Program”), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income includes earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Funds, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral received on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
51
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
At June 30, 2014, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows.
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Securites Loaned | | | Cash Collateral Received | |
Balanced | | $ | 702,317 | | | $ | 717,024 | |
High Yield | | | 1,687,535 | | | | 1,727,257 | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | | 1,264,509 | | | | 1,294,072 | |
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds have had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.
6. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH YIELD SECURITIES
Investing in high yield securities involves greater risks and considerations not typically associated with U.S. Government and other high quality/investment
grade securities. High yield securities are generally below investment grade securities and do not have an established retail secondary market. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations and could cause the securities to become less liquid.
7. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program and repurchase agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending transactions, see Note 4. The following table is a summary of the Funds’ open repurchase agreements that are subject to a master netting agreement as of June 30, 2014:

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (formerly Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund), AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund (formerly Managers AMG GW&K Fixed Income Fund) and AMG Managers High Yield Fund (formerly Managers High Yield Fund): Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 19-20, 2014.
At an in-person meeting held on June 19-20, 2014, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for each of AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (formerly Managers AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund), AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund (formerly Managers AMG GW&K Fixed Income Fund) and AMG Managers High Yield Fund (formerly Managers High Yield Fund) (each a “Fund”) and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund’s Subadvisor. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each a “Peer Group”), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each a “Fund Benchmark”) and, with respect to each Subadvisor, comparative performance information for an appropriate peer group of managed accounts, and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 19-20, 2014, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisors under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their
consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ knowledge of the Investment Manager’s management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisors; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising each Subadvisor, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analysis and reviews of the performance by each Subadvisor of its obligations to a Fund, including without limitation a review of each Subadvisor’s investment performance in respect of a Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of each Subadvisor and other information regarding each Subadvisor, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of each
Subadvisor responsible for performing the Subadvisor’s obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of each Subadvisor and makes appropriate reports to the Board; performs periodic in-person or telephonic diligence meetings, including with respect to compliance matters, with representatives of each Subadvisor; assists the Board and management of the Trust in developing and reviewing information with respect to the annual consideration of each Subadvisory Agreement; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of any Subadvisor or the replacement of any Subadvisor; identifies potential successors to or replacements of any Subadvisor or potential additional subadvisors, performs appropriate due diligence, and develops and presents to the Board a recommendation as to any such successor, replacement, or additional subadvisor; designates and compensates from its own resources such personnel as the Investment Manager may consider necessary or appropriate to the performance of its services; and performs such other review and reporting functions as the Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and applicable law. With respect to AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund, the Trustees noted the affiliation of each Subadvisor with the Investment Manager, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.
For each Fund, the Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadvisor’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (for each Subadvisor, its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding each Subadvisor’s
53
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
organizational and management structure and each Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at each Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the Fund, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by each Subadvisor in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisor’s personnel; and (c) the Subadvisor’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of each Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under its Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered each Subadvisor’s risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered each Subadvisor’s performance as compared to an appropriate peer group of managed accounts and also considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisor’s relevant performance composite that utilizes the same investment strategy and approach and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both the Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition, as well as each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring each Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
ADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Fund’s Subadvisor and, therefore, that the fees
paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund. The Trustees also noted any payments that were made from Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”) and Gannett Welsh & Kotler, LLC (“GW&K”) to the Investment Manager. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from the Investment Manager serving as Investment Manager to a Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the AMG Funds family, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for all of the Funds from time to time as a means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and considered the impact on profitability of the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the
Investment Management Agreement and supervising each Subadvisor. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in a manager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fees for any Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMorgan”), the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with JPMorgan. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to JPMorgan, including, among others, the indirect benefits that JPMorgan may receive from its relationship with the Fund, including any so-called “fallout benefits” to JPMorgan, such as reputational value derived from JPMorgan serving as Subadvisor to the Fund. In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. As a consequence of all of the foregoing, the cost of services to be provided by JPMorgan and the profitability to JPMorgan of its relationship with the Fund were not material factors in the Trustees’ deliberations. For similar reasons, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale in the management of the Fund by JPMorgan to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time.
In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable by the Investment Manager to each of CEP and GW&K, the Trustees noted that each of CEP and GW&K is an affiliate of the Investment Manager and reviewed information regarding the cost to CEP and GW&K, respectively, of providing
54
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
subadvisory services to a Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship and noted that, because each of CEP and GW&K is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, such profitability might be directly or indirectly shared by the Investment Manager. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the current subadvisory fee structure, and the services each of CEP and GW&K provides in performing its functions under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to each of CEP and GW&K is reasonable and that neither CEP nor GW&K is realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund, the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor.
AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund
FUND PERFORMANCE.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Investor Class shares for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2014 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, a Composite Index (60% Russell 1000® Index and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index).
The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including its more recent improved performance. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s longer-term performance results ranked strongly relative to its Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
ADVISORY FEES.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2014 were higher and lower, respectively, than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2015, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.84%. The Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager previously reduced the Fund’s expense limitation in 2012. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses, including fees and expenses relative to comparably sized funds, and the current size of the Fund. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund
FUND PERFORMANCE.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2014 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s more recent performance, including the fact that the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory.
ADVISORY FEES.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2014 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into
account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2015, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.59%. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses, including relative to comparably sized funds. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
AMG Managers High Yield Fund
FUND PERFORMANCE.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Investor Class shares for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2014 was below, above, above and at, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s recent underperformance. The Trustees also noted that the Fund performed well relative to the Peer Group for the 3-year and 5-year periods and noted that the Fund’s performance for the 10-year period was impacted by underperformance in 2008. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.
ADVISORY FEES.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2014 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2015, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.90%. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses, including
55
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
relative to comparably sized funds, and the current size of the Fund. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Subadvisor and the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition
to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement: (a) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and the applicable Subadvisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisor’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Fund’s investment objectives; and (c) the Investment Manager and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 19-20, 2014, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement for each Fund and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund.

Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG Funds Family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by Prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Fund’s Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For performance information through the most recent month end, current net asset values per share for the Funds and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.

1 | Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Funds are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2014. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of an investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed-income securities to fall. |
3 | The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors’ ability to pay their creditors. |
4 | The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy. There is a risk that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected. The main risks with derivatives is that some types can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative; or that the counterparty may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss for the Fund. Use of these instruments may also involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. |
5 | Many bonds have call provisions which allow the debtors to pay them back before maturity. This is especially true with mortgage securities, which can be paid back anytime. Typically debtors prepay their debt when it is to their advantage (when interest rates drop making a new loan at current rates more attractive), and thus likely to the disadvantage of bondholders, who may have to reinvest prepayment proceeds in securities with lower yields. Prepayment risk will vary depending on the provisions of the security and current interest rates relative to the interest rate of the debt. |
6 | From time to time, the Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
7 | The BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that measures returns of 6-month Treasury Bills. Unlike the Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month Treasury Bill Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
8 | The Citigroup Mortgage Index includes all outstanding government sponsored fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, weighted in proportion to their current market capitalization. The Index reflects no deductions for fees, expenses, or taxes. Unlike the Fund, the Citigroup Mortgage Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
Not FDIC Insured, nor bank guaranteed. May lose value.

These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Fund’s portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds II (formerly Managers Trust II) (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are two series of the Trust: AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund (“Short Duration”) (formerly Managers Short Duration Government Fund) and AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (“Intermediate Duration”) (formerly Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds.”
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the market’s official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sales price. The Funds’ investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”).
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Debt obligations (other than short term debt obligations that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity) will be valued using the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an authorized pricing service. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Short term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities market are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses
information with respect to transactions in such securities and various relationships between such securities and yield to maturity in determining value.
Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make fair value determinations for such investments. The Funds may use the fair value of a portfolio investment to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio investment is not deemed to be readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Board’s valuation procedures, if AMG Funds LLC (formerly Managers Investment Group LLC) (the “Investment Manager”) believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; and (iii) the value of other comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with a quarterly report showing, as of the most recent quarter end, all outstanding securities fair valued by the Pricing Committee, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets. Under certain circumstances, on behalf of a fund that invests primarily in international securities, the Investment Manager or applicable subadvisor may recommend an adjustment of such prices based on its determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which each Fund calculates its NAV. The Board has also adopted a policy that securities held in a fund that invests primarily in international securities and certain foreign debt obligations held by a fund, in each case, that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day without regard to a “trigger” (e.g., without regard to invoking fair value based upon a change in a U.S. equity securities index exceeding a pre-determined level). The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of securities that are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, options contracts)
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and in some cases other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders.
The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custodian expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Funds’ custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdraft fees are computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any overdraft fees.
The Trust held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders approved a new Declaration of Trust for the Trust, among other proposals. The costs associated with this proxy statement and shareholder meeting are being treated as “extraordinary expenses,” and, therefore, are excluded from the expense limitation agreement described in Note 2.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. The most common differences are primarily due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to excise tax regulations, wash sales, foreign currency, futures and market discount transactions. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital.
e. FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of December 31, 2013 and all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, the Funds are not
28
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, (post-enactment capital losses) may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the close of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.
f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of June 30, 2014, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Loss Carryover Amounts | | | Expires December 31, |
Fund | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | |
Short Duration | | | | | | | | | | |
(Pre-Enactment) | | $ | 1,571,078 | | | | — | | | 2017 |
Intermediate Duration | | | | | | | | | | |
(Post-Enactment) | | $ | 195,154 | | | | — | | | Unlimited |
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds’ policy on investment valuation.
At June 30, 2014, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Short Duration – two collectively own 68%; Intermediate Duration – two collectively own 59%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Funds.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to
the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At June 30, 2014, the Funds did not own any repurchase agreements.
i. SECURITIES TRANSACTED ON A WHEN ISSUED BASIS
The Funds may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities according to the procedures described under “Valuation of Investments,” in footnote 1a above. Each contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Funds realize a gain or loss. If the Funds deliver securities under the commitment, the Funds realize a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
j. DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
The Funds may enter into securities transactions on a delayed delivery or when issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked to market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the purchases and sales of delayed delivery securities having the same coupon, settlement date and broker are offset. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and receivables in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For each of the Funds, the Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary and the U.S. retail distribution arm of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisors for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months June 30, 2014, the Funds’ investment management fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Short Duration | | | 0.70 | % |
Intermediate Duration | | | 0.70 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2015, to waive management fees (but not below zero) and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 0.89% of Intermediate Duration Fund’s average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances.
Intermediate Duration is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed the Fund’s contractual expense limitation amount. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund’s components of reimbursement available are detailed in the following chart:
| | | | |
| | Intermediate Duration | |
Reimbursement Available - 12/31/13 | | $ | 167,657 | |
Additional Reimbursements | | | 30,737 | |
Repayments | | | — | |
Expired Reimbursements | | | (42,417 | ) |
Reimbursement Available - 6/30/14 | | $ | 155,977 | |
The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments each Fund may have made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund, Capital Shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the management fee for Intermediate Duration was reduced by $3,033.
The aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board is $130,000, plus $7,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $35,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $15,000 per year. The Trustees’ fees and expenses are allocated among all of the Funds in the Trusts for which the Investment Manager serves as the advisor based on the relative net assets of such Funds. The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid by the AMG Funds family of mutual funds (“AMG Funds family”).
Prior to January 1. 2014, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts formerly received an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $10,000 per year.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (formerly Managers Distributors, Inc.) (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally the Distributor bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses incurred (“shareholder servicing fees.”) Shareholder servicing fees include payments to third parties such as a bank, broker-dealer, trust company or other financial intermediaries who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Fund may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net asset value. The impact on the annualized expense ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2014, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Maximum Amount Allowed | | | Actual Amount Incurred | |
Short Duration | | | 0.100 | % | | | 0.001 | % |
Intermediate Duration | | | 0.100 | % | | | 0.100 | % |
The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible Funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending Funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating Fund. The Investment Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Funds neither borrowed from nor lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Intermediate Duration | | $ | 536,384,376 | | | $ | 548,113,462 | |
4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM (the “Program”), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income include earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the program, and the Funds, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.
6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, the credit risk and how derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statement of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are
included in a table in the Notes to the Schedules of Portfolio investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the average quarterly balances of derivative financial instruments outstanding were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Short Duration | | | Intermediate Duration | |
Financial futures contracts: | | | | | | | | |
Average number of contracts purchased | | | 32 | | | | 24 | |
Average number of contracts sold | | | 623 | | | | 60 | |
Average notional value of contracts purchased | | $ | 3,814,727 | | | $ | 2,887,479 | |
Average notional value of contracts sold | | $ | 69,974,865 | | | $ | 6,732,297 | |
7. FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Funds entered into futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital shares transactions. There are certain risks associated with futures contracts. Prices may not move as expected or the Fund may not be able to close out the contract when it desires to do so, resulting in losses.
On entering into a futures contract, either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin) must be deposited with the futures broker. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received each day. The variation margin payments equal the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. For OTC futures, daily variation margin is not required. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
8. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (“CMOs”)
The net asset values of the Funds may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations because the Funds may hold several instruments, including CMOs and other derivatives, whose values can be significantly impacted by interest rate movements. CMOs are obligations collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-related securities. Payments of principal and interest on the mortgages are passed through to the holder of the CMOs on the same schedule as they are received, although certain classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of prepayments on the mortgages. Therefore, the investment in CMOs may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other types of mortgage-related securities. CMOs are subject to principal paydowns as a result of prepayments or refinancing of the underlying mortgage instruments. As a result, the average life may be substantially less than the original maturity. CMOs may have a fixed or variable rate of interest.
9. DOLLAR ROLL AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into dollar rolls in which they sell debt securities for delivery currently and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar, but not
31
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
identical, securities at the same price or a lower price on an agreed date. The Funds receive compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is the difference between the current sale price and the repurchase price (often referred to as the “drop”) as well as the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. The Funds may also be compensated by the receipt of a commitment fee. As the holder, the counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made with respect to the similar security sold. Dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price with a cash settlement made at renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally, the value of such securities may change adversely before the Funds are able to repurchase them. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ use of the cash that they receive from a dollar roll will provide a return that exceeds their cost.
10. STRIPPED SECURITIES
Each of the Funds invests in stripped securities (“STRIPS”), primarily interest-only strips, for their hedging characteristics. Interest-only STRIPS will most likely move differently than typical fixed-income securities in relation to changes in interest rates. STRIPS are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions from a pool of underlying assets. A common type of STRIP will have one class receiving all of the interest from the underlying assets (“interest-only” or “IO” class), while the
other class will receive the entire principal (“principal only” or “PO” class). However, in some instances, one class will receive some of the interest and most of the principal while the other class will receive most of the interest and the remainder of the principal. STRIPS are unusually volatile in response to changes in interest rates. The yield to maturity on an IO class of STRIPS is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates but also to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying assets. A rapid rate of principal prepayments may have a measurably adverse effect on a Funds’ yield to maturity to the extent it invests in IOs. Conversely, POs tend to increase in value if prepayments are greater than anticipated and decline if prepayments are slower than anticipated. Thus, if the underlying assets experience greater than anticipated repayments of principal, a Fund may fail to fully recover its initial investment in these securities, even if the STRIPS were rated of the highest credit quality by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. These risks are managed by investing in a variety of such securities and by using certain hedging techniques. In addition the secondary market for STRIPS may be less liquid than that of other mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, potentially limiting a Fund’s ability to buy or sell those securities at any particular time.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Each Fund has determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance of the Funds’ financial statements, which require additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds’ financial statements.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund (formerly Managers Short Duration Government Fund) and AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (formerly Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund): Approval of Investment Management Agreement on June 19-20, 2014
At an in-person meeting held on June 19-20, 2014, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager for each of AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund (formerly Managers Short Duration Government Fund) and AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (formerly Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund) (each a “Fund”). At an in-person meeting held on September 19-20, 2013, the Board of Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved a new Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an initial two-year period; therefore, the Trustees were not asked to approve the Subadvisory Agreements at the June 2014 meeting. The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of this agreement. In considering the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each a “Peer Group”), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each a “Fund Benchmark”) and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 19-20, 2014, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreement. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel
and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ knowledge of the Investment Manager’s management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the Subadvisor; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadvisor, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analysis and reviews of the performance by the Subadvisor of its obligations to each Fund, including without limitation a review of the Subadvisor’s investment performance in respect of
each Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadvisor and other information regarding the Subadvisor, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadvisor responsible for performing the Subadvisor’s obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the Subadvisor and makes appropriate reports to the Board; performs periodic in-person or telephonic diligence meetings, including with respect to compliance matters, with representatives of the Subadvisor; assists the Board and management of the Trust in developing and reviewing information with respect to the annual consideration of each Subadvisory Agreement; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of the Subadvisor or the replacement of the Subadvisor; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the Subadvisor or potential additional subadvisors, performs appropriate due diligence, and develops and presents to the Board a recommendation as to any such successor, replacement, or additional subadvisor; designates and compensates from its own resources such personnel as the Investment Manager may consider necessary or appropriate to the performance of its services; and performs such other review and reporting functions as the Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and applicable law. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to maintain a contractual expense limitation for AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as
33
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both the Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadvisor’s investment philosophy, strategies and techniques in managing the Fund. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring the Subadvisor’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
ADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing each Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager, and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Fund’s Subadvisor and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a “manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists of many funds that do not operate with a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain a contractual expense limitation for AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory
fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees also reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from the Investment Manager serving as Investment Manager to a Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the AMG Funds family, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund from time to time as a means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and considered the impact on profitability of the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadvisor. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in a manager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fees for any Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund and the Investment Manager.
AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and
10-year periods ended March 31, 2014 was below, below, above and above the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month T-Bill Index. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s recent underperformance relative to the Peer Group, the fact that the Fund outperformed the Fund Benchmark for all relevant time periods, and the impact of market conditions and various market events over recent time periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2014 were both higher than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses, including the Fund’s relatively distinctive investment approach. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.
AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2014 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above, above, above and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the
34
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
Citigroup Mortgage Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the fact that the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period and in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2014 were both higher than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses, including the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2015, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.89%. The Trustees also took into account the Fund’s relatively distinctive investment approach. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager, the Fund’s advisory fees are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management Agreement: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the Investment Manager’s duties under the Investment Management Agreement; and (b) the Investment Manager maintains an appropriate compliance program.
Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management
Agreement would be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 19-20, 2014, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement for each Fund.
